yeah this happened after i put a new lcd and digitizer in it. could this possibly be because i bought a 2013 screen model and put it in a 2012 one or are they the same. ive checked all connections completely and there fine.

anyone havbe any suggestions?
The problem is the two model's screen is not the same. Different resolution and different density.

Just search eBay for a nexus 7 1st gen screen. Also how did you even get the screen to fit they are different connections and different bezel sizes if the screen you fitted actually fits then there is no way its the wrong screen

Well I replaced the cables....it belped a little bit bit not much whats weird is therw are some screens such as the recent apps amd wallpaper screens that dont flicker at all and are perfectly normal. Im kinda out of ideas now. Every cable has been replaced
OK if the screen is consistently OK on some apps and not on others it must be a software problem. Try to get into recovery and do factory reset if that doesn't fix it then flash a new factory image. There are instructions in the stickies

Its not as difficult as it sounds you could use wugfresh NRT it has an unroot and back to stock option that does the same thing as flashing a new image in adb. Have you considered that this may be the reason it was sold broken but with a new screen?

That is a possibly how much do you know about the person who sold you it? I would try to reproduce the fault open one of the apps that doesn't flicker and shake the tablet about. If he has damaged the connection on the motherboard then that will make it flicker. Recovered motherboards for the n7 are not expensive the other possibility is a faulty LCD. I bought a mb for £30 and I think in USA they are even cheaper about $20

I tried applying pressure on various regio s shaking it about etc etc but nothing changed it. Once whe I snapped the back cover on it went normal for a split second but didnt stay. The guy I bought it from was my bud he had recently brome it on a trip to chicago that we were on and didnt want to try and fix it. So here I am....... all cables have bee replaced so im not sureee what to do now I dont believe its a faulty lcd but maybe. Sorry for all the spelling errors
@gears177 OK well that rules out him ripping you off at least my guess would be the connection between the ribbon and the motherboard try contact cleaner on it if that doesn't work then a new motherboard is the next step. Perhaps it was damaged when the screen was broken. It could also be damage to the GPU but that's unlikely as the motherboard is well designed to withstand or absorb shocks

Anyone else got this? Basically, when the phone screen isn't moving, such as when I'm reading some text, the screen flickers. For example, whenever I'm reading a post on xda, the white background around the text starts to flicker, and it is really noticeable in the dark while just reading posts in my rom thread, and its very distracting. (Happens when keyboard is open and closed)
Anyone else have this? Anyone know what part I should buy to replace it?

i had this a few months ago and now the phone is on low all the time cant turn up, the brightness it still flickers a bit brighter every now and then.
if you have the same as me it isnt the screen i was thinking its was the ribbon cable and couldnt find a cheap replacement based on a hunch,
now i seen more people getting this i would guess its the driver board for the screen,
not looked in to this though and dont want to folk out money on a phone i am looking to replace as soon as the driod 4 gets GSM.

My first pad had a dead pixel. I found it the second day and returned it as soon as I could. It was kind of in the middle of the screen, and I could see it every time I viewed a white web page. Needless to say, it bothered the heck out of me and had to be returned.
i went through 4 tabs until i got one that was fine display wise. first one had a cluster of discolored pixels, like someone pressed their thumb hard on the screen and damaged the area. the other two each had a couple grains of what looked like sand under the glass. All of these were around the same area on the tab, mid-lower left area of the screen.
Mines mid high right...
I'm worried about an attempted unlocking... I tried to unlock my tab before they fixed the c4okt issues, and im wondering if it might've sent them a file about that... Also wondering if unlocking will void it for a screen issue.

Dead and stuck pixels are far from unique to Asus. There is a difference by the way, a stuck pixel is one that is, well stuck displaying one color, these can sometimes be fixed by programs like you are running and/or gently massaging the area with a pencil eraser or something similar, dead pixels don't display any color and are rarely able to be fixed.

There is one other thing you can try, VERY gently massage the dead pixel with a something like a pencil eraser, that will sometimes get it working.

That's fine and all... but there's a much thicker layer of glass over a capacitive screen than there is over a resistive touch screen... or just a LCD monitor.
Unless I'm missing something here, this advice does not apply anymore.

Don't feel too bad. I just made the mistake of looking at an all black screen on my Acer a510.
NINE stuck pixels!
One little cluster made a shape exactly like the big dipper. Very artistic, with pretty multicolored stuck-pixel stars.
Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. So much for quality control. Sounds like Asus at least isn't this bad.
Hi
I bought a nexus 7 4 months ago, but I'm having a strange problem! Sometimes, after some minutes of use, the screen starts touching itself...
The most strange thing is, if I restart the device, everything goes back to the normal
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Seriously though, maybe you need to RMA it if the touch screen is going bad
Try flashing a different kernel as that is what bridges hardware and software.
I had this same problem. I installed CM 10.1 and have not had that problem since.

Humm... But I have fear of flashing other ROM/Kernel because I will lose the warranty.
The strange thing is, if it's a screen defect why after a restart everything works perfectly? Or even after pressing the power button to make him sleep and then awake.

Just download something like the nexus 7 toolkit. You can find here on xda. With that you can flash back to stock and lock the boot loader and its as if you never voided the warranty. I've done it.

You have flashed only the ROM or you flashed a kernel too?
sounds naughty!! "touching itself"

No.
the product MIGHT be faulty, a reboot cuts the power to the screen therefore stopping a potential short circuit that cause the activation of the touch sensors (the touch screen detects static electricity).
It normally isn't a hardware issue at all. What climate do you live in? Humidity and heat will cause ghost touches. Happens to me when I am outside on a humid day

So I have this weird issue. The very bottom of my screen does not respond well! At first I thought it was a bug with the navigation bar, tried several roms and tried PIE controls until I figured that there is something wrong. I have the navbar now set at 48 dpi and I have to press at middle of it to work, where the very bottom is dead. I activated 360 rotation so that my statusbar now is at the bottom of the screen instead of navbar and it does not respond at all! Anyone can explain ?

I have Tried like lots of different roms with clean fresh installation and the problem is still there ! I think its a hardware problem. For ezample right now if I set my navbar to 32 dpi it wont respond at all because the bottom of my screen have lost the touch sensitivity. I have droppes my phone several times, could that be it ? I cant really remember when I exactly started noticing the issue...but just few days ago...I have tried PIE and same **** :s I have to set the trigger area to max for it to respond...and yes im talking about experiments after a clean install before installing ANY third party app

Think Im gonna give no damn about it and of course buy the nexus 5, which I would have done either way..but im surprised how can a touchscreen lose a part of its sensitivity somewhere on the screen ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you look closely at your screen at an angle with the screen off you will be able to see the digitizer matrix that is fused to the screen.
It is a series of squares.
Each of them squares has 3 horizontal lines and one vertical.
Behind the bezel there will be the circuitry that connects every horizontal and vertical line
If say for instance after one of your phone drops it has damaged one of the connectors at the side, you will lose the entire row of touch detection. Which is probably what has happened

Alex is right i had this happen to my moto defy. I'd say get it done under warrnty no matter if youre keeping or selling. Improve your resale value and protect you from having the entire digitizer die on you
Well, the worst thing happened, I dropped my i9500. I would rather die. Now there's a red line on my screen on the left side of screen. It dropped on its base (the battery side) yet, it affected the screen. It's static, stays, changes color according to the app I'm using. Like right now it's red on the keyboard, but kinda green on the chrome app. I'm sorry I don't know how to view screen shots, but I've attached two .png file.
My question, can I make this right, or do I have to take it to the Samsung people?
Oh man! I just viewed the screenshot from my computer, and I don't see any line. So, basically it's somewhere below the screen, where the software doesn't capture it in screenshots.
Send it in to Samsung
Just give it to the Samsung people if you still have warranty
