Earlier this morning my phones navigation was working properly... Got home to update to 4.4.3 and my Navs stopped working. I'm completely stock btw. Reverted back to 4.4.2 and still the same issue. Just reverted back to 4.3 and nothing. Don't know what else to do =\

Try this:
1. Go to Settings > About Phone > Android version 4.4.3 and tap on this several times until easter egg appears; this will hide your navigation bar
2. Then swipe from the bottom and see if the navigation bar is working
Report back!

Sounds ridiculous but I'd try flashing 4.2.2 factory image too. You never know..
I dirty flashed 4.4.3 flashable zip file from N5 port ROM and I faced similar issue, no nav bar and no status bar like immersive mode.
I retried with wipe data/factory reset, clean cache and dalvik cache solved the issue.

Digitizer issue, my friend. I hate to break it to you, but unless you can afford to spend on a new display unit, you will have a tough time using this phone. I have the same issue, and the best cost estimate I can get for the replacement is INR 5500 (around USD 100).
This is what happens when the digitizer and front glass are fused The whole damn unit has to be replaced even though the glass is totally intact. :FML:

Its kinda weird though because I went into the Easter egg and started playing with the tiles where the Nav sits... Worked just fine. They moved to my touch. =\

Funny you should say that. My phone navbar seems to have started working fine too. Boy, this is strange!
(I'm serious. The navbar was totally unresponsive, and now it's working like there was never a problem)
But interesting coincidences aside: I would advise you to try flashing stock again. Not sure whether that will solve the problem, but if your digitizer is fine, there has to be a software issue. The fresh start should clear up that issue, whatever it is.
And one more thing: When you enable "Show touches" in Developer options, are you able to get touches to show up on the nav bar? If yes then reflash. If no, it is indeed a digitizer problem, and I have no idea how that Easter egg thingy is working out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Almightiness so I figured out what caused this issue. I had bought a charger from the gas station not too long ago. The charger would make the phone Charging percentage Glitch so I tried it on my phone... Worked. After a while the home button would press itself and after I took it off it would stop. My friend was using it and he says his keyboard was pressing letters in different areas and he's never experienced it before.
I did the whole "show touches" In developers options and I can see that it can not recognize my touch. I glide my finger over the screen and stops on the top of the Navigation Strip. =\ fak

From what I've seen, others with similar problems have returned their Nexus 7 to the store they got it from and exchanged it for a working N7. I would recommend you do the same. If you got yours from the Play store, start an RMA. If you got it from a B&M store, exchange it.
Since you've only had your N7 a week, you shouldn't have any problems exchanging it.

It seems like it's an issue with the touchscreen itself. I have no idea how to verify or solve this issue, though. That's why I would personally exchange the N7 as defective. I would think that since your problem is clearly demonstrable, it would be easy to exchange or RMA.
But there may be a solution around that someone else has heard of. If anyone with greater knowledge of touchscreen issues wants to weigh in on this, please do.

I just started seeing this issue. At first it was only happening within apps. I thought it was issue with maybe stretching the app to a larger screen. But I started seeing it on the home screen.

There was a fix posted here somewhere for a package called surfaceflinger-fix.zip you flash in recovery. Made a huge difference on the touchscreen non responsive issue.

I have also experienced this. I I didn't try turning screen off then on but I rebooted then it was fine again.
I'm more inclined to think that this is a driver bug than a hardware fault

Hey guys, I've got a nexus 4 coming tomorrow and I am really excited! However, there is one thing that kind of scares me... Do the on-screen buttons take up a lot of screen space? Also, what is the best way to deal with them.
Thanks in advance!

No, they don't use much space. Some people like to use the PIE instead, I personally turn on expanded desktop on CM10.1 and downloaded a gesture control app. Works pretty good, esp. because I didn't like the PIE
Haha mine is coming in tomorrow too! Along with the wireless charger and cases I bought off of Amazon!

Theres not really a "best" way.
Why not just use "fastboot flash recovery" to install it? Its probably the most efficient and direct way to go about it.

The size and alignment of on-screen buttons is perfect with respective to screen size. However, you can change their size also after rooting the device.

T-Mobile lied to me... T_T
They said it would be coming expedited next day but they sent it ground shipping... Won't be here till Monday or Tuesday! Lame.
I prefer the navigation bars over pie. If you use a custom rom with the feature then you can adjust it's size so it appears smaller on the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Flash a custom ROM and adjust the size of them. I personally think the size of the Navbar on stock is hideous, whenever I compare my phone to my friend's stock N4 I think that mine just looks so much cleaner with less black space at the bottom of the screen. 70% works perfectly for me, not too small but not intrusive either.
Just got mine today! Love it so far!

The screen buttons are about a quarter of an inch, which imo is fine. Coming from an s3 I prefer on screen buttons over physical buttons any day and will be a deciding factor in buying any future phone.
Yeah on screen a really more responsive in my opinion. Find myself only having to hit them once unlike my s3.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks guys for all of the info, really excited for my phone to come... Coming from an HTC One S right now and I really like being able to have my recent apps key double as menu on short press and recent apps on long press... Would that be possible with the onscreen buttons?
Sorry for the double post, just wanna say that it arrived last night and I couldn't be any happier on a work day. XD
I don't find them intrusive at all even on the default size, but then again I migrated from an 800x480 phone, lol.
They also auto-hide when playing videos - tapping the screen during the video brings them back again for a few seconds.
Flashing a custom ROM is great for customizing the buttons and what they do. I find that I prefer a menu button over having to hunt for a 3-dot overflow, and I also find a search button useful for quickly bringing up the address bar in the browser so I can type a URL. So thanks to CM10.1 I was easily able to reconfigure the onscreen buttons - I now have Back, Home, Menu, and Search from left to right. The Menu button doubles as a Recent Apps Switcher when longpressed.
What is annoying though is that they are easy to accidentally hit when using apps in portrait mode. I have inadvertently exited Carmageddon many times to my extreme rage :/
Okay so its hard to explain but basically the screen response on my phone is really messed up. When I do normal touches it is fine, but when I swipe, like swiping down the notification bar or scrolling a web page, it is almost completely un-responsive. I turned on "show touches" in dev options and what I see is when I am swiping or scrolling the touch point does not move but what happens is 2 touch points are created one where I start the swipe and one where I end it. (Lift my finger) It has made my phone almost useless. If anyone has experienced this problem and has a fix please let me know, if not I am just gonna order a replacement. If it makes any difference I have the first model Nexus 4.

See my thread titled " Another touch issue, with reproducible steps".
Go into developer options and enable "Show touches" and "Pointer location"
If you see your touches registering but the app isn't responding, it is probably a problem with the app. If you see random stuff on the screen, probably a problem with the digitizer or digitizer in combination with the driver/software in this release.
Ive experienced this a few times and it seems to be a software /hardware interface issue with particular custom rom builds ive installed. I know the touchscreen hardware itself was fine when I forced reboot into recovery and the touchscreen worked as normal in custom recovery.

I wouldn't. If you had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus when it came out, you'll remember that it had the same issue with certain points on the screen (lower right hand corner) when using multi-touch applications. The entire screen would either stop seeing input or start going erratic and creating faulty inputs that weren't happening. It isn't a hardware issue, proven by some users experiencing it and some not. The only time I've experienced it is in the Netflix application while trying to choose a show to watch. I re-boot the application and viola, no more issue. Some in this thread even are stating that they only see the problem sometimes after getting the 4.3 update.
In short, it's software and not hardware.
Same issue when not touching with both hands somehow (like if the tablet is flat on a table).

Haven't had a problem with mine. I just got it today, and it's worked like a charm. I bought mine from Gamestop if that helps any.
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

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
