Screen acting weird near top - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

About an inch from the top of the screen in portrait orientation touch does not register for about a centimeter and then the rest of the screen is totally fine. Wtf?

Where it says update all. That whole area to the left and including the button doesn't respond. I put the visual touch thing on in the Dev settings and the dot skips if I drag over that area.

Had the same problem. Used to fold the front of my case behind the tablet to use Kindle app for example then realised the magnets were causing the screen to lock. Was driving me nuts for a while and I was all ready to return the tablet to the store. All's well now though :good:

A way to access gallery from camera app?

Is there really no way of accessing the gallery from within the camera app? I can't believe they left this out!

swipe to the right
In the camera app swipe from the right edge to left.

Well that's something new. I wish the booklet that read included gave tutorials.
And once you swipe, touch the screen and touch the gallery icon in the upper left corner to back out into the full gallery.

I found this out while trying to figure out more stuff about it. Lol.
Its a good feature. Only missing a notice to tell you.

Plus you can pinch after swiping to the gallery, then swipe up on a photo to delete.

Those with touchscreen issues: try this (let's get some data)

Go into developer options and enable "Show touches."
Oddly enough, even when the screen seems unresponsive the touches still show up. To me that says there is a software not hardware issue as the system does see and report the touches.
Anyone else? Any thoughts on my analysis of that information?

As soon as I post this the touches also start disappearing. Of course.

One last addition: I get dead spots when the tablet is laying on my bed, but if I pick it up with on hand it catches the touches. My old Dell latitude had and issue similar to this... it was a grounding problem if I recall correctly.

Something weird on note 2 display or digitizer

When I try to fill this area I noticed that this part of the screen seems weird I need to pressure the s pen in to the screen if I don't the line would appear light and not darker like in some area.
sorry I can't find the right words to describe it clearly
