I bought a Nexus 7 today and have found that the touch screen is not very responsive with swiping. It seems to work fine pressing buttons (although maybe a little too sensitive as I found I would dbl type the odd letter) but doesn't want to swipe. If I view a webpage I can not scroll, it just Zooms. If it does scroll it goes to far etc...
Here is a short video showing the problem.
Argh.. being a noob it won't let me post a url directly. So if you go to youtube and append this to the url
Code:
watch?v=mBnvVBZqyGY&list=UUs3SFF_TLRY9u4YOAx1GEsg&index=1&feature=plcp
it should load the video.
Is this a hardware defect? If so I will take it back in the morning. What a pain though and not a good first step away from Apple products.
Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
Regards,
Luke
Well, I couldn't seem to find much about this problem so I'm going to take this back to the store today. Should I risk getting another one or try a different tab? Will the Nexus last or will I need to replace it within a year?
Thanks

I'd get another N7 don't change tab because of an anomoly. All electronic devices are gonna have issues and faulty units. when you get a working one they are epic !
Good Luck !

Does the new 4.1.2 update improves the scrolling issue? Will the performance be smoother like the higher end phones or the ipod's U I?
4.1.2 update

Well I just received the update and I find the touch screen to be a bit smoother, but not what I was hoping for. But I still think this tablet and jelly bean is great!

Well I fixed my problem by buying the IPAD3. I had a hard time convincing myself to stray from Apple to begin with and although this may have been an "anomaly" my first impression of the Nexus 7 was extremely hindered. In comparison, my first impression with my first Apple devices were mind blowing and that sticks in my mind. In my opinion, Google Nexus 7 should have done a better job ensuring peoples first impressions were better met by spending more money on quality control.
I haven't seen any videos or complaints about the screen issue I suffered from so I wonder this will be a new breed of screen issues as mine was from a new batch.

I've never had any problems with swiping on my nexus until the 4.1.2 update. Before the update everything was butter. After the update I found that swiping between screens sometimes didn't respond. I've also noticed this with the drop down menu and it's frustrating to get it to stay in place without automatically retracting. In Google's defense I did root my Nexus bf the update and maybe flashing the update from cwm instead of the stock recovery caused this issue.
Apparently its a bug in 4.2.X? Had the same issue in 4.2.1, went to CM10 (4.1.2) and everything is working fine... Please star this issue at android issue tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39892
With a 100% clean factory image flash of 4.2.1 this issue is constant and remains. Any very quick swipe oftentimes makes the screen not scroll at all, regardless of app, regardless of screen I'm on. Extremely irritating issue. Please do star that issue.

I have a stock N7 and accepted the over the air standard update to 4.2. Now I'm getting quite a bit of screen flicker. Has anyone else seen this?
Nope. That's pretty strange.

I thought so too.
Yeah I've noticed the increase too, coming from custom ROMs and modified kernels I think it's understandable. However googles failure to fix this is disappointing.

However just as I completed my post I remembered my fix, disabling prism. So its probably a combination for me.
That's helped quite a bit
How do you disable prism?

I have updated my nexus 7 to 4.2 OTA. And i can confirm, with sorrow, that 4.2 ruined the tabled for me. I had some minor flicker with 4.1.2 but was very rare and i was OK with it. But now it's crazy. The strange thing is that the screen does not flicker constantly. It flickers 4/5 times and it settels down. This is in every single app i run, even on home screen. WiFI is off, the tablet was factory reseted ... this sux ... i send a mail to Asus to see that they know about it ...
I had to use Tegra Prism on 4.1 to fix the flicker - which is caused by the brightness changing slightly (still happens if you turn auto-brightness off).
I haven't updated to 4.2 yet (too many bugs) so maybe Google made prism more aggressive or something?
It's a paid app though, but you got 15minutes to test if it works or claim the refund.

I ended up unlocking/rooting and installing the Tegra PRISM Toggle. I can confirm that fixed the issue.

Hello Xda members, I currently have i9300 (S3) and willing to go for a high end phone, I am amazed with Note 3 specs and S-pen, but shocked about how people say both N9000 and N9005 lag and they drop frame while playing games, would like to know your opinions and recommendations for other phone to buy, thank you in advance.
No lag or dropped frames ever for me, only game I play is Dead Trigger 2 and it runs perfectly.
By the way, why are you posting here if you want a recommendation for a device that isn't going to be a Note 3??

No lag on my device.
Ever since I use it on MJ7 4.3 stock non-rooted, NB7 4.4.2 stock non-rooted and rooted, NC2 custom ROM. All no lagging, and to be frank eversince 4.4.2, the device even smoother.
The best phone in my opinion of all Samsung phone currently, in terms of smoothness and battery. You won't regret to buy. If your country have N9005 (LTE), you better by this one, as snapdragon has more support on this Note 3 forum, because more ppl use it compare to the exynos. But if your country only have N900, then no choice.
PS :
If you ever buy it, first thing that you have to do is download the multitouch test app from google play, and try to touch by 10 fingers (and try to move the 10 fingers around the screen. The 10 fingers should be still detected wherever you move them, then your screen is okay). If got problem, return it direct. This Note 3 device has issue with its multitouch screen, other than that, all are good. :good:
Cheers.
The note 3 camera has problems. The wi-fi and/or GPS interfere with it in normal light and mostly in low light conditions showing up as horizontal lines on screen and when you take the picture. I was expecting a much better camera on a 700€ phone and it has made me question if i'll ever buy a samsung product again.
My stylus has been used a total of maybe 3 times. Never touched it again.
The rest is all great.

Just to feedback, my camera doesn't have the problem you have mentioned earlier
My wifi is on, and GPS on all the times, just try to take picture on a low light conditions. No horizontal lines on screen nor on the pic taken.

No issues here whatsoever. Well worth it
Love the Spen, but then I'm a Wacom Intuos user so it's second nature to me to use a pen.

You pay 700 euro for the phone, not the camera. Do some basic research into sensor chips before you blather on about camera quality in smartphones. I've explained it numerous times.
I have problems with wifi and mobile network on at the same time! I also have problems with lines when taking a photo in low light! It's only a couple of months old could I address these problems if I root and use a custom rom? I love this phone I've had most galaxy's and I wanna keep it should I root?

Actually he has a point, picture quality aside the camera shouldn't have weird artifacts if WIFI or mobile data are on. That is clearly a build issue.

I think we both had a bit of miscommunication there. Most Note 3's had this issue, mine used to as well on 4.3. Since the update NB7 4.4.2 it's gone.

does the problem occured since D1 you use ?
If so, you should contacted samsung earlier before you root and KNOX it off.
But if only happen after u use custom ROM, perhaps you would like to change to others.

and if you are on 4.4.2 and still have the issue, and you haven't rooted, why don't go to the service center. claim from them, since some of us not experience it (especially after 4.4.2).
But u r on NB7 or later? or earlier? if earlier, try to update to NB7 first, and see how.

Thanks everyone for sharing, my only fear was the lag issue with touchwiz, but now its gone, my fear now is with horizontal line in camera
Hi all,
as stated in the past days by oneplus, a new touch firmware has been released and will be in cluded in 5/15 cm12.1 nightly. this should (i hope so) resolve all the remaining touch issues that affects many opo
Here is the coomit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/98287/
05/18: The touch firmware has been reverted to the old one because of battery drain caused by dt2w
sub.
Looks like working very good. Flashing Nightly and screen is more responsible ever sinde the failure occured. waitung für Lord Boefla or slimkat to include it

Certainly seems to be working for me. Typing fine, and x-axis multitouch is working great.

Yes, working fine for me.....
The question now is.... will be forever?
multi touch on mine phone on x axis is still jerking from time to time
sometimes it works normally, detects 2 fingers, then on the other hand detects one or none
will see how it will perform through the day, but since i made a clean flash, i doubt that it will be better...
I have the grounding issue with my ONE. No problems with higher temperatures though.
I flashes Franco Kernel r43 boot.img on my stock cm12s. Fo rme the issues are gone.
x-axis touching is working good. Swiping texts is finally possible again!
Thanks to synaptics!!
I will probably switch to cm12.1 nightlies again when I have some spare time left.
Any way this could be a flashable zip for all ROMs or is this something that is baked into the ROM/Kernel?

You can flash Franco's kernel below if you are on CM12s/CM12 (5.0.2). Or the alternative is to flash the 5/15 nightly (5.1) or wait for it to be rolled out OTA.

Nice! Thanks for the link. Flashing now.
I had only mild touchscreen issues so I'll see if it gets rid of them.
I've never had touch issues thus far, but I am a bit disappointed at the fix. Although I do notice a better touch response, the fix isn't a fix and is a workaround. PPPreferences has a huge battery drain (com.qualcomm.display) which basically, like I've seen written somewhere, means they're just keeping an app open to recalibrate the screen constantly.

Not for me. Nothing changed in terms of battery usage with today's nightly. Also it isn't even listed under Apps in the battery screen on my device.
This app is only used for post processing (Live Display) and has nothing to do with the new firmware.
I was suffering from pretty bad heat related issues, all gone now.
I just flashed Boeffla-Kernel for CM11s. I can definitely tell a difference. There was one app that I could make it jump when swiping up or down and holding it toward the bottom-middle of the screen, no longer have that issue. I also constantly had trouble with it "clicking" things when all I wanted to do was scroll up or down on something. Have not had that issue since flashing.

Hmm that's pretty interesting then, but I don't seem to be the only one reporting a difference in the CPU time of something which includes the Qualcomm services. We'll see with more usage though.
Do you need root to install?

Yes, until it gets pushed officially, as you need to either flash a custom kernel or the latest nightly.

The Chinese have marketing and advertising from the stone age. really. Which, again reminds me that xiaomi got a lot of trouble for their advertising too.. lately. Especially concerning the redmi note´s display and camera AND the huge fine they are facing because of using superlatives in their advertising.

So I switched to your rom and choosed 5.9.18 because someone mentioned he didn´t have any battery drain trouble on this version. All works good for me, but is it safe now to update?

I think it wont take much time until someone makes a custom kernel with double tap to wake support.
So after almost a year do you still own the phone and are you satisfied? Battery still holding up? I'm looking into it now and the only thing I'm worried about is the battery. And whether I'll find this phone in my country (Serbia).
