Could you please report if your touchscreen has gotten better or worse afer the update?:fingers-crossed:
Some people are saying that it fixed everything for them, but I just saw someone who said that multitouch has become unusable...
For me it definietly made it, and as I see it became smoother...

But the ghost touch bug is still present. I think this is hardware issue but cannot find any service manual to investigate
Good as gold as with all releases since 4.4
nothing changes
I've seen a little bit of improvement, but I also only had problems under some app-specific conditions. Though, I've noticed the N7 is unusually sensitive to hand/finger temperature. If my hands are even remotely cool, I can't get anything to work. Meanwhile, my S4 in a condom Otterbox Defender reads touches just fine even with freezing hands.

Its not good! i have problem with multitouch and battery life is down!! and i see a bit lack in this new version!(4.4.2 - Nexus 7 LTE ) .... pls Help me .... how to fix it?

4.2.2 almost fixes my DEB model
Hi,
My tablet is one of the unlucky ones which were not fixed by sfhub's patches.
Fortunately, the 4.2.2 OTA makes my tablet smoother. Except for 1 inch strip of non-responsive space (little below the top vertical position), things work fine. I see no ghost touches and multi-touch works fine as long as I dont touch that 1 inch part.
Hmm, it takes 3 OTAs and lot of belief in customers like me to get to this state!
Perfect so far since 4.4. Also, tested ungrounded with one and two fingers with Google Maps and no issues.
I haven't tested 4.4.2, but I WAS using SfHubs ts20 on 4.3.
I flashed the TouchScreen Unlock and then back to 100% stock 4.3 and updated to 4.4 naturally using the OTA procedure. Then updated to 4.4.1.
I tested all along the way and it seems to have helped some. Typing isn't as big as a problem but there are still missed touches and generally sucks trying to play action games. 4.4.1 seemed to help a bit again.
I'm going to try this again with 4.4.2 since I've heard good things. If this doesn't fix it, I'm sending it off to Asus. I've heard they are now replacing the touchscreen driver boards with different ones which basically means it is a hardware problem and they know it.
I haven't tried the "stock" drivers yet, still using TS09 but I will revert back tomorrow.
I got a old Nexus 7 from my mobile operator the other day.. damn, what a dream touch wize.. Why cant Nexus 7 FHD work like this? :/ I can actually TYPE on the old Nexus.
Mine seems to be mostly resolved since 4.4.

Is anyone else having a slight misalignment on the touch screen?
For me touch is shifted about a millimeter or two to the right.
I've checked on both my N4 and my sister's N4 and both of us seem to be having this slight misalignment.
Both of us have REV 11 N4's. One was obtained through T-Mobile in January, the other was obtained through Google Play just last month.
I've checked on a few roms. I've tried CM, PA, and Stock with a multitude of different kernels (Franco, Faux, Trinity, CM, and stock).
To check:
1. Enable "Show touches" under the Developer menu.
2. Touch a part of the screen where you'll be able to see the touch bubble and hold it there.
3. Look at the screen at angle to see under your finger.
It's not a big deal, just something I've noticed when I had difficulty trying to use PIE on the left side of the screen. Although, I still would love to be able to get the screen recalibrated to have more accurate touch sensitivity to eliminate the difficulty that I have with CM's PIE.
Another question: Is anyone aware of any LG diagnostic tool to calibrate the screen? I remember back on the HTC sensation there was a file that you could load through HBOOT and get your screen calibrated from there.

I thought I was just trippin when I noticed the same thing last week
Just tested and confirmed, pretty significant misalignment by about 1 cm, which is a LOT when you're talking about a <5" touch screen..
My next thought is, is this a software issue?
We need more people to test and confirm. But I believe that is what we will find. Software issue.
Anyone with a Nexus 7 on stock 4.2.2, please also test and report.
Wow never thought anyone else was experiencing this, mine seems to be off since I always have to touch a little higher than what I'm going for even nav bar.

I would think that it's a software issue. My HTC sensation was able to have it's screen recalibrated. I think LG would have some kind of tool to be able to do it.

Hi all, my old nexus 7 tablet is totally unresponsive after updating to android 4.3. The problem can be recreated in every single browser you run. After several minutes of browsing the device begins to lag heavy to a point where performance is do degraded that even the return to home or multitask buttons are taking ages to respond. I am totally confused, a update with a trim function supposed to speed tings up is dousing massive problems. I have searched trough the forums in the web and many are reporting same problems.
Does any one here experience the same ?
Try reset to factory settings.

I have tried even different roms. Now i am at a stock rooted 4.3 (latest update) , same thing...
Will make a reset and see how long will the tablet stay fast.
Unfortunately for me after root the tablet started lags. Reinstall it completely and now use it without root.
I m not experiencing nothing from lags. But somehow mediaserver drains my battery and I can t get more then 4 hours screen. Before had 6 or 7 hours youtube and browsing.

I'm having the very same problem. I've tried all sorts of things to fix this with no lasting results. Factory resets make no difference. Also having a load of problems with the Play store, but that's happening on all my devices at the moment so it's likely not related.

This happened to me a while ago. No matter how many times I factory restored it was still slow and choppy. SO I was really desperate I downloaded the OEM factory image and flashed it. Low and behold that fixed all the ridiculous lagginess I had and it has been good ever since.

I'm in the process of trying this and it seems to be working for the time being. That said, I have had good, early results before and within a day or so the lag is back. This is the first attempt at flashing 4.3 ( I updated to 4.3 through OTA before) so I'm hoping it has a better result. I even performed a factory reset after flashing just so I know all bases are covered. If the lag does return then I'm at a loss as to why. Just as well I'm away to get the new Nexus7.

To me is not the lag that concernes me. Its the battery drain. No matter wich rom. The drain is allways present. In 4.2.2 its 40 % more battery time. I did a full image install from google.

Can't say I've noticed any detrimental effects on battery time for being on 4.3. If anything its better, if not just the same. Maybe it's still a bit early to tell one way or another, but all my woes seem to be gone. I'm not holding my breath though.
One thing I will say is that it doesn't half spoil a device if you have to spend more time troubleshooting, than actually using the thing.

Look at the thread. Only troubleshoting... lol. And I just gave my opinion... I m not a begginer and I know every piece of hardware behaves different. Thats what people are doing here. If you don t have nothing to complain you re lucky. Many of us are not the same opinion. Some for one reason others many... but one is sure. 4.3 its definitively not a major update and don t brings much over 4.2.2. They re slowing things with updates waiting for ios 7 is out to bring out klp. This will be a real and great update. For now they are throwing sand to your eyes...

I am on stock 4.3 now , stock as it can be. The lag is still present. I literally cannot brows, the browser is sooooo laggy and bugged, don't depend of the browser i am using. I don't know where the problem is , but this is strange behavior for sure. How come it be that only some are affected ? can it be something related with the TRIM option ?
My tablet was sent back to asus for a screen problem, after replacing they returned me the device flashed back to 4.2.2 and not the last 4.3 i had before ? Why is that , maybe the 4.3 does really have some problems here and there....
I also had the browser-produced lag. It was present no matter what ROM I used (Paranoid Android, SlimBean, CyanogenMod, Purity) and no matter what build (JWR66V, JSS15Q, even JWR66Y) I used. I made a strange decision, and downgraded to 4.1.2. Now I'm rather enjoying myself. I hope 4.3 will eventually work on my Nexus 7. Until then, back to the past.
So I updated to 4.4 yesterday with adb sideload. Since that I was using my Nexus 7 "heavily" and I always had "buttons stucked" on keyboard, but now it's gone and I havent experienced any other touchscreen bug.
I don't think I have had any buttons sticking since I updated as well. That was my only issue with my Nexus 7 when in was still running 4.3. It would usually have a keystroke stick several times while typing things and I haven't experienced it once while typing this entire post, which is also why it keeps going because I'm trying to keep typing to see if it'll happen, and instead I just keep making spelling mistakes.
It did not fix the touch issues that may be related to grounding. In a case or stand, both Nexus 7 devices I have still fail to see any touch on numerous occasions, even single finger touch events. Manufacturing issue I guess, but we all know how G & Asus deal with those.
Let's hope it lasts... some issues are fixed temporally.
touchscreen is definitely improved for me too.
Yeah but multitouch still fails, playing dead trigger 2 could be an impossible mission.

Never had multitouch issues, only single touch problems like quad touches innstead of one etc. (As u can see it happened again lol)
They poped up after the R update, and im waiting for CM11
I had single touch issues even after sending my tablet in for service. I had called yesterday to send it back again when I noticed the update was available for side loading.
After the update my screen is behaving!
I'm going to hold off on claiming that my issues are completely resolved but it is looking promising.

My N10 suffers from random reboots and memory leaks every couple days. But after flashing a 4.3 rom those problems almost dissapear with the updated Mali drivers from Samsung
So right now its a no issue, at least for me
Had screen flicker, but went away with the kit kat update (fingers still crossed).
Only had one reboot and that was on 4.3.

I've been using mine for almost over a week. It came with 4.2.x and asked for update to 4.3 right after unpacking. Never had a single problem for a week with 4.3 and now using 4.4 which i manually updated. Still had no problems.
No problems here too..
The reason that you maybe find much 'complains' is because people with a problem are searching for a fix. But hou never hear a word from people without problems.. Well until now
I really love this tablet. Fast and oh te screen.

I've not had too many issues with my N10. I've mostly been running CM10.2 on it, but I've put KitKat on it now and it's purring like a happy cat.
Solid with 4.4 so far.
4.3 eliminated a number of the screen issues with the updated Mali drivers. Looks like they were updated further under 4.4 as the Google site shows new binaries for 4.4.
I'm running stock 4.4 and have 0 issues. Didn't with 4.3 either. Can't say for anything earlier, I'm newer to the device.
Still running 4.3 here, but mine reboots randomly a couple of times a week.
Waiting to see what 4.4 will do.

4.4 seems so far (over two days uptime with Chrome installed!) to have fixed the massive memory leaks on this device.. 4.3 never seemed to release memory correctly and SystemUI would bloat to 200MB and completely implode on itself. Now it seems memory is releasing fine, and SystemUI is fluctuating in memory usage like it should be now..
I was given an N10 for my bday back on Sept 30 and its gotten almost daily use. I can say with full confidence that I have experienced ZERO problems. No memory leaks (if its going on I cant tell...the performance is snappy as hell!) no light bleed and definitely no random reboots. I have thrown the most hardware intensive games at it and they all work better than I had hoped for. It does exactly what I want it to do when I want it to do it.
I've had it for about half a year and used daily and I've had one or two reboots during that time, quite long ago now, otherwise it's been perfectly smooth and had no issues.
The photo editor crashes while editing large images (probably runs out of memory), haven't tried it on 4.4. But that's really not a issue as I normally use Photoshop on my pc anyway.
So far I never had any other issues at all, no random reboots or anything else. 4.3 was running smoothly as is 4.4 which I have now. The only modifications I have made are rooting it so I can use certain apps, and I didn't even have to reroot after the 4.4 ota.
tldr: mine works like a charm.

Mine suffers extremely bad with memory leaks and random reboots when I have Location Services on. If I turn Location off, it doesn't reboot but after 30 hours or so, it slows to a complete crawl and redraws the launcher every 2 seconds thus making me have to manually reboot it. It's usable and I still use it every day, but I'm definitely not ecstatic with it and I'll likely replace it as soon as another tablet running stock Android and with a beautiful screen comes along. Hopefully I'm not waiting too long.
I get a reboot on average every 3 days. Usually while in the browser.. Screen will just flash white and reboots.. Never slows down before had.. No sign of trouble either..

I haven't had any reboots from the browser yet, but I did get a hard freeze while using the HBO app yesterday. That's actually new, never saw it before the update so hopefully it's just a one time thing.

I'm having problems with any rom later than 4.2. The 4.3 roms cause random reboots, and 4.4 will not install.... Something about some E: error.
I've gotten into the habit of wiping for factory reset before every flash.....so I have no idea why the problem with flashing the 4.4 roms. :silly:
Hi,
I just install Kit 4.4.1 on my Nexus 7 2013 wifi and make a test with YAMTT to see if the ghost touch and multitouch bug is gone. On my device it's still there and worst.
If I put my left thumb on a side of the screen and with my other hand put two finger on the right side of the screen and rotate my finger, I got a LOT of ghost touch

Try updating to 4.4.2 because a lot of users are saying the touch screen issues are fixed finally, assuming its not a hardware issue for you.

this issue is the same as z1 so this cannot be resolved even with the update since many are still complaining.
Have to test this out further, but it seems that 4.4.2 fixed my ghost touch problems. I haven't had any problems with typing and gaming since I've updated.
I'm still on 4.4.
Kitkat fixed a lot of my touch problems (although not 100%), but now I'm afraid 4.4.1 / 4.4.2 might make them come back again.
I think this is the last time I'm buying an Asus Nexus product.
4.4 fixed it all for me. 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 had no changes. Good as gold. Shld give it a go
