When i squeeze or firmly press the top left part of the tablet, the screen goes all whacky and there is a distinct clicking noise when it happens, and then the tablet reboots. Anyone know whats going on?

Ye mine also reboots when I put it on the ground and jump on it ... Weird right?
If you use it how you are supposed to and stop trying to break your tablet it might not do funny things like your experiencing and that don't make it a bad product... it makes the user a abuser when it comes to their hardware.

I thought I was the only one with build quality issues! Everytime I try to wrap my tablet around a pole the stupid screen breaks! This tablet has such poor build quality. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Should have held out for the nerfglass version
While I laughed at the previous replies to this post, I actually have experienced an issue with the build quality. I've had to send it back to ASUS repair twice because the touch screen would go wacky on me. I turned on developers touch input so I could see where the problem was and it would show 5-7 inputs (I am not doing anything, just letting the tablet sit on its back). A temporary fix would be to push back on a corner of the tablet until the dots went away. Recoveries would not fix this. Factory resets would not fix this.

Yea, that's a digitizer problem. I have the same issue on my atrix, but I'm upgrading soon, so I don't really care.

Actually, was the tablet docked while the screen glitched out on you. I noticed today at work that, when docked, the tablet would register random touches and long presses, even when I wasn't touching it.
I used to have the same screen problem. Seemed to happen the most when charging, and when playing a certain game, 6 guns. I factory reset, and installed the game again, and sure enough the screen started going crazy again. I uninstalled the game and haven't had any problems since...knock on wood.

well - i have that too now - (see attached videos / screenshot)
though i unlocked it - i think its an hardware issue (anyone knows if thats still covered by the warranty (I'm talking about Germany here - it should still be covered i think))
i think thats the problem some have too?!
I'll keep you updated if i get a replacement unit or not.
btw is there a way to lock it again so they can't b1tch about it during boot - or hide that message?
btw - i had quite an oddysee trying to get it back to stock rom - since i wiped the rom as well (and so the whole SDcard...) so if you need to send it in it should be stock (so i thought i share it)
make Nandroid
copy your sd card to your pc/mac (i used the Samba app since its faster than usb somehow)
boot into recovery (TWRP2 in my case) and wipe rom - now all is gone
download the recovery.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173
boot the tab into fastboot mode select USB symbol
in a cmd push the img to the tab
Code:
C:\Android_SDK\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot.exe flash boot recovery.img
sending 'boot' (5306 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.640s]
writing 'boot'...

finished. total time: 3.596s
C:\Android_SDK\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot.exe reboot

Then boot into Recoverymode - and adb works within CWM (thank the maker! )

in CWM select the zip to install and wait 7 minutes - then reboot - then wait another 7 mins till the stockrom is booted
done
btw - its not a software issue like a game caused it - phone tester still reports the same in stockrom.
PS:
i know this is a more detroured way to do it but since i didn't pay attention and wiped my SDCard i thought someone could use this who did the same

*fingers crossed*
As in every mass production process, there is always chance for some quality issues. That is why some OEMs replace units with ease, as a warranty for their quality processes.
If by any chance, you got a defective TF, just trade it.
I’ve seen some minuscular build problems, but i think the cause is the plastic build compared to other unibody design.

There's yet another thing I noticed.
I had HTC headset connected to listen to music.
The cable touched the display and the display somehow accepted it as input like I touched on it with my hand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6PTsAbxpkg&feature=youtu.be
So my 2 month old TF300T started having the touchscreen going crazy issue as well.
It started a day after I noticed a crack in the glass in the bottom right corner (On the rim, not over the screen).
I'm going to try to get a RMA because I can't do anything with the tablet anymore, I only know the touchscreen still "responds" because I managed to unlock it once and saw what was going on (clicking and shifting everywhere, keyboard typing itself). Otherwise I would have thought the touch screen was completely unresponsive.
I just hope the crack in the glass won't void my warranty on the digitizer.
Every time I press the bottom right part of the bezel there seems to be a touch registered on the bottom left. Not sure what to do to fix this as its really interfering in the way that I hold my tablet.
I sadly unlocked the tablet so I don't think I can rma it? Are there any apps which prevent touches at a certain pixel value?
Anyone have any ideas? The false touch is always registered in the same place.

I had the exact same problem, but it seems that I didn´t cleaned the
screen as I should. It seems that the fingers leave some dirt on it, so
clean it well, and we´ll see if it helps..
could also be a broken digitizer thats what i had.
check with phonetester from playstore

Hi, I want to share my experience with a Nexus 7 2013 which bought to me a friend in USA (I'm from Spain).
It is made in China, June, and it has every touch problem described here: maps rotate, multi-touch with only 2 fingers, Swype keyboard problem (the draw was continuously cut off), the screen didn't recognize my finger, and sometimes ghost pulsations.
Well, I sent the tablet to the tech support and today is back.
The report says:
Problem: Touch Screen Function Error
Replaced part: LCD + Front + GPS module
Note the Gps module replaced which I didn't referred.
Now everything is ok and screen works without problems. And all of this with the J compilation.
Clearly, my experience indicates that the Nexus problem is a hardware problem, and Asus knows perfectly the problem.
Cheers.

What I don't understand is if that was the case there would be a lot of perfect ones out there. They should call for a recall if you have a certain date of the bad batches. This is how it should be done. If you bought it from Best Buy then best buy should be getting good batches for exchange. With reciepts still. I am over my 15 days now. 2nd of all I just don't believe that this is hardware. I had a perfect screen for 15 days then this update destroyed it. HMMMMMMM doesn't make sence. It is software issues thats going on.
I think what Asus is doing is recieving your Nexus 7 and istalling the proper drivers for the screen it has in it. The next update that comes out will destroy it again and again till you get tired of this crap.

I'm happy they fixed your touch screen issue, I'm thinking about having my n7 sent to be repaired too because ts10 helped a lot but it still doesn't feel 100% fixed.
Does your nexus feel solid and one piece like it did out of the box? I'm worried about having the screen feel like it could detach if they replace it.
I would like to see people start putting pictures of the paper work for this problem. Meaning the paper they send back with your tablet saying it is a defective screen or digitizer. Then we need to do something to get a replacement. Not sending it off. Exchanges at retail stores.
I have now the Q compilation with root and unlocked, and the touch screen is ok still. I don't see anything different to the original product (when I opened the box), but I think they exchange the screen and GPS, as they told me.

Dude, read the description! It is NOT test app. It is showing (simulates) bad touch so you can compare it with your device.
Nothing more, nothing less.

I knew it. I found something out last night. Mine works perfect if its on a hard surface like a wooden table. If I put it on my couch or lay it on any cloth type material it has dead spots on typing. Mine is in a slimline Moko case. This is tested without holding it and unplugged. Touching the screen with one finger and hand only.Type real fast on each letter and they drop out touches.Like I said it works perfect now.

Shure it would help, but exchange for another better type of screen/toch combo :/
But i think cleaning an touching ang cleaning help.. mine is a lot better than it was on a first day (with a same ROM).
Cleaning a cache in my case Cruselite TPU with antistatic cleaner helped, too I think
Butt "some jittering remins" its hard to pickup icons to move "icons"... As nexus mean i move or tap the finger..

Take your Nexus 7 out of the case and lay it on a nice wooden hard surface and retest the screen. Mine works perfect on hard surfaces only.im thinking it could be the digitizer flexing or the wireless charging coils causing the problems.
The previous video was recorded before I sent the tablet. As it is shown it worked in a terrible way. Now is something subtle, because it only fails sometimes and mainly on hard surfaces.
It is strange, before to tech support it failed each second. Now, I can be swyping several minutes and it doesn't fail, and in other moment it fails 1 out of 10 words.
I will try to update to R compilation (I have the Q) and I will tell you.
So I've had my tf300 for around 2 years and I pulled it out of my bag tonight and the touchscreen has become totally unresponsive. I tried to reboot to TWRP and its still unresponsive and now stuck because I cannot unlock it. Anyone have any ideas what happened/how to fix?
Here is something you can try. Not sure it will work, but might and will sure not hurt.
Find the small reset hole (same side as the volume buttons) and find something small enough to go into.
Press and hold it for a while, again holding for a full minute won't hurt.
Make sure you feel the slight bump when you press the switch, but don't press too hard.
Hope it helps, but no guarantees! Fingers crossed!

hey guys, i have the same problem.. my touch is not working.. but this is due to the cracked screen. My question is: is three a way to connect to the tablet change some settings? something like a teamviewer... i'm asking because i need to stop some alarms on the tablet and because of the cracked screen touch is not working(i will change the digitizer but i need some more time to gather some money).. so if anyone has any solution please share it.
So, as we all know, some OPO's have touch issues. Many are because of software and many are because of hardware. My OPO suffers from both, and here are two screencasts as proof. I muted the sound with Movie Maker since it's not relevant to what I'm showing you.
The phone is lying flat on my desk and I start off by adding one finger from my right hand, then another finger. Then I add a third finger from my left hand and start moving it around as you can see in the videos, all while keeping my right hand fingers perfectly still. Without a charger or USB connected (to my computer), the touch is crazy. With a charger or USB, the touch is perfectly fine. This is with the latest touch firmware, might I add, and the touch was just the same with the previous versions. Definitely a hardware error (grounding?).

That's is interesting mate, that's quite a find tbh, would charging and not charging be a bug in the firmware....
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Just had a go myself. I get the issue after using 5-6 fingers, more so when the device is flat (odd). When I charge the phone and do the test it is gone completely. Only difference in my situation is that it doesn't crop up when I'm typing, I don't suffer from ghost swipes etc when doing normal browsing or playing games. It functions as good as my M7 until I start to use 5+ fingers on the screen

No idea, tbh. It seems that the ghost swipes are gone with the latest firmware and that I can type quickly. Seemingly so after directly booting the phone up, at least. My OPO lies shutdown on my desk most of the time since I use my S5 daily. Just knowing about this issue bothers me a lot, though. I wonder what OP will reply in the mail I sent them. They (a support guy) asked me to send them videos of the problem so that they could help shedding some light as to what issues I'm facing.
I tried it as well when you plug it in I can use 10 fingers and no issues without plugging in anything above 6 screws up :/

Probably. The fact that it doesn't happen to everyone unless they use a lot of fingers at once is more than likely the reason some say they don't have it. If I didn't install the multitouch test app I'd assume the screen is perfect since I never use more than two fingers on the screen at once anyways

Then my One must be pretty darn bad since it started acting up after only four fingers. Not that I'd ever need that many simultaneously for anything other than touch testing apps, though. I think I most likely have a general touch issues as well as most issues resolve themselves after a reboot but come crawling back slowly.

You might be better off not purchasing any device with the "One" name regardless of whether it is HTC or OP based on your track record lol. It does sound like general touch issues though. Good thing you have the S5. Personally I'd keep the phone though and have it as a spare when/if newer updates help to alleviate the issue.

Yes, I think so too. I had it up for sale but took the ad down as I felt like keeping it instead. Besides, the touch seems better with the new "firmware" and might just "do" as a spare. Would be nice testing some CM-infused Lollipop too.

Someone tried something like this

Unfortunately he did not post any pictures. Side effects like increased heat could come with this modification.
Curious, do you have the hardware buttons activated? It maybe in my head but I just tried this and the touchscreen seems better (no random movement nor false presses or merges) when the hardware buttons are disabled. I dont really find the touchscreen a problem but it may help you guys, I am sticking with software buttons now (always did with my nexus ) and cant complain now!

The problem here is that the touch panel doesn't properly ground to the back cover for some strange reason. Notice how the touch works brilliantly in my other video? Yeah, that's because I now grounded the phone by physically touching the back cover (I had to take off my flip case for this). It also grounds as it should when there's some electrical current entering the usb port in some way (either by a wall plug charger or a USB cable connected to your computer).
It has to be bad grounding. Nothing else makes sense.
