it arrived yesterday at htc repair and ive been watching the repair tracking site. i had some pixel problems, like a quarter of my screen was darkened grey.
Keep in mind my phones bootloader unlocked, rooted, haha and i sent it in as is running the latest miui. Why? idno.
Anyways. I just checked the repair site and it says:
Ticket Information
Status: We are repairing your phone.
Service Type: Repair
Issue Description: top screen is darker that the rest of the device
I havent approved to pay for any repairs for an out of warranty phone. So i guess im off the hook right? I think im about to prove that htc repair people dont give a F***!
THought id share..
Uhhh, we have known this for a year now. It has been proven time and time again that HTC will warranty repair hardware defects, despite an unlocked bootloader.
This is nothing new or surprising.
Did someone has problems with the multi-touch screen: lags, do not respond or random reactions ...even when having a call ?
the solution for now is to push "shutdown button" and it seems to reinitialize the sensors for the screen ... isn't it weird ? It occurs 40% of the time ...
The menu for reinitialize sensors/calibration do not exist (for HTC Legend/Hero you can re-calibrate the sensors).
Do you have same problems ?
I will send it for repair soon...
im having the same problem, ive had it for a long time now, ive gone threw 20 Roms. so i know its not software related, or is it something the devs are over looking??
weird thing ....do Googlers have same problem when demonstrating navigation/goggles/phone calls/voice recognitions .....or do we fall on bad series ???
definitely hardware problem or something no-one has been aware of ....?

Sometimes it's worse than others, I think if the phone is running something pretty intense it happens more often. Otherwise, no, there's no calibration. Calibration doesn't make sense on a capacitive screen.
The touch screen issues have been known since the beginning, and the solution of quickly turning the screen off and on has been known for just as long.
It's part of the hardware, and most if not all Nexus owners experience it once in a while.
Getting a warranty replacement for that will not fix anything, it is a flaw in the hardware design.
Good thing to know that...but really weird for such a device...they probably think about it when starting/choosing next nexus.... ;-)

I'm curious whether they'll return it with a relocked bootloader and stock ROM
i've noticed that the only time i have touchscreen response issues is when i use my N1 without a case on it and it seems to be because some of my fingers touch or get near the edges of the screen glass. i have a silicone slip on case and when its on the phone it prevents me from touching the glass accidentally at the edges and i never experience any response problems when its on the phone. just my 2c.

yeah that would annoy the crap outta me as well, glad mine does not exhibit this problem.
i'd love to guesstimate how old mine is but i'm the second owner, it might be possible that they fixed this hardware issue in later build revisions or it could just be a random problem with the touchscreen/module, some do it and some don't idk.

was it amoled or slcd though lol
i have to make the call when i get up. today my usb port was gone from the phone when i went to plug it in tonight. i never used to have the screen issue, it slowly started happening and now it happens all the time, i lay it flat in my hand and i hit a button on screen and my menu pops up etc.
nice to see a recent time frame though, i'm dreading going without my phone and having a dumbphone replacement. would love to know if it was amoled or slcd you got back though, thats my one worry
I've noticed just today that there's a dead strip on the touch screen. It didn't do this yesterday. The Nexus 4 was dropped once from 2 feet high, but that was almost a month ago and everything worked fine until now.
The screen still looks beautiful, no dead pixels, no cracks, and the phone is in a protective case with a screen protector.
It seems to me that the digitiser crapped out, but I'm not sure why it happened so randomly.
A funny thing though is that when I drag something fast across the strip it works. And sometimes it'll recognise a touch as a long touch or two-fingered touch along the strip. Weird.
I attached a few touch test photos to show the issue.
Hopefully there's a fix. Has anyone else had this problem? And if you had to send it back to Google, was something like this covered under warranty? What should I do?

You can try to replace the screen yourself or tell LG/Google to send a replacement via RMA. They have parts floating around Ebay
How risky/costly is it to replace it myself? And does anyone know if it's covered under warranty? Cause if is, it'll be cheaper just to get a replacement from Google.
Are there other ways to check if it is indeed the digitiser? I've seen that sometimes touch screen problems are software related. And if that's the case, it'll be easy to fix.

And .... Out of curiosity, what does cause a digitiser to fail without the screen actually breaking?

Depends. If you follow the instruction properly, it works well. If you screw up, then Google/LG wont be able to help. A lot of people have done it and succeeded. There are great articles on the web. The price of a digitizer would be about $50-70. I MAY BE WRONG WITH THE PRICING.

In most cases no. Because it worked well and suddenly stopped working. Thus Google would say that its your fault. If you are somehow able to convince the Reps that it wasn't your fault, then there is some hope. I

One way is to remove it and put it to a tester or another motherboard and see if it works. But that takes a lot of time and money,

Anything. The phone might have overheaten to the point that it flashed a certain section of a digitizer. It may also be a battery problem that escalated. If you feel that it's software problem, flash a ROM a see if it works.
IMHO You should send it to LG and get it fixed for about $140~.
This problem should be covered under warranty. If you honestly haven't done anything to cause this damage. (I'm also clueless as to what a user could do themselves to make just one section of the digitizer stop working)
Then lasting 5 months or less would not be considered reasonable and you should be entitled to a replacement.
Remember it is down to the retailer to prove that you caused any damage.
And if you honestly did nothing and it just crapped out on you then you should have nothing to fear in sending it back for a warranty replacement

That happen to my iphone when it got water damage. But if you did not do anything wrong, it should be covered by warranty.

I did an RMA explaining everything like I said above. I got my Nexus 4 replaced by Google, and they didn't charge me anything. New Nexus 4 works fine with no issues - I've been using it since May.

Same bug here in Italy where I'm living now even if the the phone was bought last year on UK Play store. Problem is Google rep wrote me RMA can take place only in UK or any other county where N4 was originally available on Play store i.e. NOT Italy.
Does anybody know of a workaround to get the RMA here?
Thanks

Yeah, I think the overheating might have been what happened to mine. I was using a blackberry charger and I think it might have overheated my battery and fried a strip of my digitizer.
Even i have got the same problem, i dont know who bumped this old thread, but please guide me to for a low cost workaround for my situation
No drop or glass break.. Dead pixel just one..
Hi,
Anybody found the reason for the issue, i too got the same issue; a dead strip exactly in the middle of the screen, My warranty is over already, so anyone has work around for this??

This looks like a dead thread, but Ill take a punt. I dusted my old Nexus 4 off the other day, which had exactly the same issue with the dead strip on the digitiser. I had tried replacing the screen and digitiser (I have up trying to get the original screen off the original digitiser). The issue remained, so I tried a full factory reset, but that also didn't work. I am now wondering if I should get a cheap motherboard, or try flashing the stock ROM again. Has anyone else had any luck with either?
for the past week my screen has been going whacked out on me.
the on-screen buttons would start clicking on their own, and sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive,
BUT
when i turn it off, and back on, it would work perfectly fine .
so i basically get a 50/50 chance if the screen going crazy on me...
now if it was the Digitizer, wouldnt the problem be ALL THE TIME?
as opposed to being random, could it be a BUG ?
Can anyone please help or advice, thanks !
If a factory reset doesn't fix it it is probably hardware. I have seen intermittent problems with digitizers before.

I have a similar-sounding issue (on-screen buttons flashing wildly, et al.); I am thinking of opening the device to check on connection
Is it more or less likely, in your experience, that the connection between the display assembly and the board is loose from impact or whatever, or that the digitizer itself is just defective?
Thanks for your help.
I had the exact same problem on my device and it can be due to two reasons.
1. If your phone get extremely hot during use then the screen starts behaving abnormally.
2. If you had dropped your phone then there is a slight chance that you have damaged the digitizer.
I had the second problem and I have replaced the screen and it is working normally again.
My LG G2 (d802) started having dead screen touch in some small portion of the screen. I just installed Cloudy G3 Rom about a week ago and the problem started showing 4 days after installing the rom. Not sure if there is any connection.
Today i flashed Paranoid Android and i still see the dead touch screen problem is there.
Is it hardware issue? Or still is there any way to find out if its a software issue?
Any help appreciated

Exactly what part needs to be replaced? The display or just the touch sensor?
My one started going crazy. Now it detects press automatically as soon as I turn on the screen. Had to turn off knock-on feature or it would keep turning off and then back on the display again and again.

I was ignoring all the posts about this issue when I browsed the forums, I thought I was safe since my G2 is more than 6 months old and also because some people mentioned it was related to some type of screen (there are two models) and I was on the "safe model", which apparently is not the case. So today I started to investigate the issue and some people end up replacing the whole screen (digitizer and LCD) which I think I'll do too.
Replacing just the touchscreen seems like the cheapest option since the part costs less than $20 bucks, but I honestly don't recommend taking that path since it's really hard to separate the LCD screen from the touchscreen.
So yeah, the whole screen assembly runs for like $70 plus bucks.
Better waste 50 bucks more then when you need to use the liquid and special devices to stick the digitizer to the lcd, it isn't for people who have never done it before. Its especially harder on newer smartphones then from 2010. Thats also the reason why the nexus 5 digitizer isnt sold seperately since replacing it would be much easier and you wouldnt risk your display when replacing the digitizer.
For that 70 bucks you maybe also have the tools included to open the phone and there are many videos which you should follow carefully to replace it well. I would rather pay 70 bucks then going to some repair shop or service center which replaces it for 130 bucks and above. @in_core If you have warranty use it since dead touch isnt your fault and as I read its common so LG have maybe screwed up it somewhere or the rom caused it :/ but i don't really think the g3 rom caused it since people even get that problem who are fully on stock without root.
So, I just have to vent. My Nexus 7 is now in the process of its 2nd RMA. I bought a reconditioned tablet off E-bay for during one of those $129 sales. Less than 18 hours after receiving my tablet, I was in the middle of a game and it rebooted, only to then stick at the Google Screen. Nothing would work to fix it, Wug's, or even ADBing the image files. So, off to Asus it went. They apparently replaced the entire motherboard and sent it back, with a note that the issue was a LED (Error) Indicator, whatever that means. My tablet then functions properly for about 80 more days, and then suddenly, when I go to reboot it, it turns off, but will not turn on, no matter what. The battery charge indicator does not function, no LED, nothing, and it was as if the battery was suddenly disconnected internally (it has not suffered any drops, jolts, etc.) and lives in a protective case. If I hook it up to the computer, I get a weird driver I have never seen before (not APX but something else, which I cannot recall at the moment), I would have taken it apart and done a battery disconnect if I was not still within my RMA period. Is such an excessive number of issues a problem for this device? I have never had this many issues with any other android device I have ever had. I cannot complain about Asus's RMA process but it is ridiculous that a remanufactured device would fail less than 24 hours out of the box, and then need to be RMA'ed yet again less than 3 months afterwards.
I love it when it works, but have others had devices that have had so many issues? I am not sure if it was the remanufacturing process and poor quality assurance with it or what, but seems there are a lot of similar hardware issues from those remanufactured lots on here.

I've had my nexus 7 since launch and no problems here. Never had it in a case or anything. You did buy a used tab... I Will say that my tab would do random reboots so I finally rooted and unlocked my tab last week and put on a custom ROM. My tab is flying ATM. Maybe throw on a custom ROM on??

I bought mine second hand, running android L developer preview and runs like a beast and the battery is outstanding ! Shame to hear you are having issues though
I have also had mine since launch, and I think OP simply got a lemon.
I have the random reboot issue that most people seem to have, but a part from that, none I've heard about have anything even close to the kind of trouble OP had.
The most common weakness I hear about from my friends owning the N 7 is battery drain, and that's not a hardware problem.

Thanks all. Got my tablet back from RMA, and works like a charm. They had to replace the board and some heat shields it appears from the packing slip from the RMA. Fingers crossed, as the tablet absolutely rocks when it works. Battery is outstanding compared to my 2012's. Hopefully the 2nd time was the charm.

I bought mine online, off eBay. I never had to provide a receipt for mine, though I was asked when I purchased it and where. As a remanufactured device, it came with a 90 day warranty, so you may just have to tell them the purchase date and location.
If it helps, you can start here: http://www.service.asus.com/#!b2c2/c24v6 to raise a case number and RMA.

If you enter the correct serial number for your device it should auto populate those fields, but if not, it is under Eee Pad as the Product Type, and the model is Nexus 7 (2013) of course.
If anyone else runs into the reboot and freezing on the Google logo error (even after forced restarts), you need to pop the back off and disconnect the battery for a few seconds. Easy enough to do, but it's a pain in the ass and shouldn't need to be done in the first place, but if you want to avoid an RMA and shipping and such, this will fix it.
Also, Lolipop preview completely fixed my random reboots. Not a one. Before that, when I 4.4'd, Franco's kernels also completely fixed random reboots.
Glad to hear your issue is fixed! It's a great tablet! Enjoy!
Thanks for mentioning the battery disconnect fix pbassjunk!! Fixed my problem, and good thing because I'm way out of warranty.
