I have owned a Nexus 7 2nd gen for a couple months now and have just started to get random flashes of black (occurs for not even a quarter second) ...
I am wondering what causes this...
I have not damaged the Nexus in any way and bought it brand new..
I have only used CleanRom and PA ROM...
The functionality of the tablet remains great, but the flashes are very annoying ...I have tried clean installing multiple times but the flashes still happen...
Any feedback/solutions would be a big help...
Thanks

The whole screen?
I've noticed black lines when playing Terraria for hours but its only the background of certains areas. I chalked I up as game glitches.
I haven't seen anything outside of that.
Give us some more details.

I had that happen soon enough for a return to be viable. Do some more Google searching and you'll find people who fixed this as a hardware issue. They had to open the back and fiddle a connection. Didn't sound to hard but I just went to best buy instead.
Happy hunting, sorry I don't have a link.

Yea I would exchange it before it is too late. Doesn't seem that troublesome but if it got worse, or worst, disconnected entirely, it would bring bad news.

What specific piece of hardware is causing this?
I still have this issue from time to time ..
I've notices it happens a lot less if I turn off auto brightness and manually turn brightness above 45-50 percent...

Just because you bought it off ebay doesn't mean it doesn't still carry the 1 year manufacturer warranty on the hardware. It would require you to send it in, but worth a shot.
Once you pop the back and start fiddling with hardware, you run the risk of doing enough damage where Asus will void the warranty. I think I would check with Asus first before resorting to hardware modifications.

I should send it in to Asus you say?
What are the requirements to have it repaired/replaced under warranty as I have already rooted it with a custom rom

I am really frustrated with my LG G2 because of the screen problem I encountered. The screen goes up and down, it happens when I over using the phone. I went on LG service center to reset my phone. still no luck, the problem is still there. They think its a software problem. I hope LG will release new software update on G2
To me that seems more like a hardware problem, not a software one.
Can you reproduce the problem at will?
Dude, I think you have a lemon...
Good luck!
It happened when i charged my phone with the screen is on and i always reading manga. maybe the screen is too sensitive. Yea i think this is hardware issue
I have used mine while connected and charging... Never had a problem with that.

Hopefully you're still in your exchange period...swap it out
You are running it completely stock? And you've done a factory reset? If so, it sounds to me like your phone is defective. These phones are so new it should still be under warranty, right?
Just got the same problem as OP last night and I've used it only for 1 month,so now I send my phone to LG service center and they said it was a hardware problem not sure which part but will reply here soon when I got my phone back and tell you all what's the problem... :angel:

Got a similar problem. I am unsure if I want to send it back for exchange or just keep it, as there are plenty of reports of owners exchanging G2's just to get another with the same problem. Looks to me to be a software issue - at least with my G2 - as I can get past it by just turning the screen off/on.
Let us know how your G2 turns out.

Lol just swapped it out. We will see how the new one does but so far way way better. Seriously my phone was horrible. I read and read thread after threads today and my case seemed way worse then everyone else's. Like most people's was tolerable, this was intolerable. I'd say 6 out of 10 times u turned on the screen it be messed up.
I showed the best buy mobile guy and he said without a doubt there's a problem. The best place for me to show him was the app drawer, if u held ur finger on the screen it would bounce and randomly select apps, we tried the demo unit and it worked perfectly.
Ill keep u updated on how this baby does.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Yikes - sorry to hear this.
I wondered if my first G2 was worse b/c I aggressively set it up right from the start: disabling apps I don't want, installing a bunch of apps, etc. On G2 #2, I didn't do that and although I've seen this issue surface on my new G2, it has been just a couple of times.
You need to use whatever phone you get the most enjoyment out of. The G2 undeniably has a software glitch that causes this PIA issue. Too bad it didn't work out for you. Good luck with your Note.
I hope LG addresses this issue SOON!!

Thank you, I hope it works out for you guys and they fix it. I love the phone and want it to work but it just isnt gonna happen right now. Im just gonna cancel my upgrade and I guess eat the $35 restocking fee which I think is crap but oh well.
Ill keep my eyes on the forum and may return to it if they fix the phone cause im not gonna use my upgrade right now. Besides this glitch the phonw is a beast. Good luck...

This happened to a few people here in Thailand. We are posting the issues on a group in facebook.
My iPhone 4s used to bounce all over the place when plugged in to charge.
My G2 hasn't had any hardware issues at all yet. I've had it going on 7 months now. Works perfectly.
My advice is that if you get a replacement or repair and it does it again, never get another LG product again. Just like me an Apple. I'm done with them. There's a guy here who wants his old Note 2 back. I know a guy who had 3 motherboards replaced on his Note 2. The last one broke the screen as the phone was swollen. There's no way of knowing. Its just the luck of the draw with these things.
When you get a really good phone, keep it and use it until it disintegrates. As long as this G2 is fine, I won't part with it for anything.
And yes. This is a hardware issue.

Maybe this can be replaced by the warranty service.
bring it to the service center.. but you will handle the repair.. if your liable for the damage
I dropped my phone today and now the volume up button is completely busted, it's stuck in the up position. I need to send it in for warranty work from Samsung but I can't even get it into Download Mode to unroot it, and even if I could, I couldn't hit the rocker up key to continue. How can I get it unrooted so I can send it to Samsung? I'm on Verizon.

Just bring it into Verizon (btw wrong forum also ) - Carriers tend to deal with their own repairs/replacements in house, especially US carriers :good:

Do you know what rooted means?
Please read this information here regarding Samsung Mobile Phone warranty,
http://www.samsung.com/in/support/warranty/warrantyInformation.do?page=POLICY.WARRANTY
It clearly says,
THIS WARRANTY IS NOT APPLICABLE IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CASES:
5.Defects caused by improper use, as determined by the Authorised Service Centre / Company personnel.
Off course you will get your phone repaired but not under warranty,
only after paying for it
What if I took it to Verizon? Either way rooting my phone is technically voiding the warranty, which is why I am freaking out.

Just tried it.
adb reboot-bootloader
indeed puts the device into Download Mode (without needing the Vol-Up button).
So all you need now is to go through Windows driver hell to get adb working. Either that or use a Mac (/Linxux)!
good luck

If they are already sending you a new device, and all you have to do is return the old device in a pre-paid box, then I wouldn't worry about changing the status of the device. I've done this a few times in phone exchanges back when I had tons of trouble with the Galaxy Nexus. Of course, you could for peace of mind, but I've had experience with sending back a rooted device with no problems. I think they refurb it anyway...

I gave them my rooted S3 back in December for a upgrade and had no problem.
Is there a place I can download the stock firmware for my phone?
What would you guys suggest one could do? My OPO lies on my desk collecting dust petty much. It has a faulty touchscreen and not even the latest touchscreen "firmware" remedies this.
Because of that annoying touch issue, I picked up another phone two weeks ago, a Galaxy S5.
I had in mind to just throw it into a brick wall but seeing as I don't like wasting money, that's not really an idea. Though it would be highly satisfying. I can't really sell it like this, can I? OP does not seem to respond to emails.

It may be more than it's worth... unless 'principal' is the most high for you.
If you don't get a response from OnePlus folks, walk over to small claims at your local court house and file a small claim against the company. You'll win.. its a PITA, but sometime when the principal (law Law on your side) is worth it... do it.
It sometimes help mold a companies responsiveness and ethics for the better.

Got the phone yesterday, the only thing I've done is unlock the bootloader and download all my apps. It worked perfectly fine last night, went to bed all things were great.
I woke up this morning and it was turned off which was strange, held down the power button to boot up and it gets to the home screen and immediately says "shutting down" the battery isn't dead so i'm not sure what the issue is.
I've tried turning it on with the charger plugged in and it does the same thing.

Going to try flashing the stock image, it'll stay booted in the bootloader so I'm thinking it can't be the battery.

My Nexus 5 had/has that same issue. The ceramic power button started to fail. I would have to push really hard on the power button in order to get it to stop. I hope to god this is not an issue with my 6p that is coming in the mail today.

My nexus 5 had that issue as well but it would just constantly reboot. This just turns off mid boot and then I have to hold the power button to turn it back on. But if I boot into the bootloader it'll sit there and be just fine.

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a power button failure, more like a software issue...I would attempt a factory reset or clean flash of the MM image from Google and try again...if it happens again I would RMA it..

That's my plan as soon as I get home from the gym. I really don't wanna have to RMA it and wait for them to send me another one.

Well I just tried flashing the MDB08K factory image and it still wouldn't fully boot up, but yet sitting here without the charger plugged in, it'll sit in the bootloader without any issues.
Downloading the MDA89D factory image and going to flash that, then relock the bootloader and basically set it back to the way it was when I got it. If it still won't boot then i'll contact google and get it resolved.

Yeah it's a bit of a bummer because I have no idea what's wrong with it.
Only thing I can think of at this point is the battery in some weird way is shot but even that doesn't make a lot of sense.
Decided to just call Google and tell them I want an exchange and not a normal "return it, wait for money to be refunded, and then rebuy."

The lady kept telling me "Sir you need to send the phone back, wait up to 14 days for a refund and then rebuy the device." I kindly told her that was unacceptable and I'm not waiting until the end of november to use the phone.

Omg, that is terrible! I have read that people are getting replacements withing a day or two...you should call back and speak with a supervisor or something

So I'm having the same problem, I wonder if it's because I'm on the old firmware.

Did you unlock the bootloader ? Root or install a recovery ? Just wondering if that is the cause or a hardware issue that has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader ?

I called back and talked to another guy, he went through troubleshooting steps and said I qualified for a replacement. I made it very clear that I didn't want a refurbished device and expected a brand new device and he said I would be getting a brand new one. I also told him if i got a refurb that i'd just send it back as a return and buy a new phone.
But it's an advanced replacement, said I was one of the first people calling in that needed a replacement device so that's good news I guess.

I was on the newest firmware when the issue first came up.

Only thing I had done was unlock the bootloader, but I even relocked the bootloader and had the same issue.
