Just got my nexus 7 in today. It seems fine, although, I noticed that con the cleft side of the screen, it seems to be slightly raised in the middle. The corners attached fine. Are people sending out back for this? It doesn't seem like an issue, just an annoyance

Sounds like it. Seems like it's always on the left side for some reason. It's lifts up over the bezel and you can push down on it and it lifts again later. That is how mine is... or was hopefully.
I heated it up with a game, then put a couple clamps on it, left it over night turned off, and today it has stayed down so far. Hope the adhesive that is suppose to hold the glass down sticks now.
I had a previous one though that was slightly different, it was raised on the left side, but I couldn't push it down. Seemed like a screw was tightened too far or something. I sent that one back.
Either deal with it or get a refund if it really bothers you. You can also try number of fixes that are posted on these forums. They pretty much all have this issue to some degree.

Yes this is it, but the real problem is if it makes a noise when you push on it. THATS the annoying part.
Mine doesn't make any noise, although it definitely is a tiny bit squishy and if you try and push hard on it, it does act a little like an LCD monitor. I just didn't care enough to try and return it, as I would have never noticed it if everyone hadn't had their panties up in a wad as much as they did. I figure the worst that happens is that it gets worse over the next year and I end up having to spend a whole $200 more on a newer model.
I agree. I can't imagine this truly hurting the experience. Oh well. Not a big deal as long as it works well

Are you guys serious? If I buy a product, it better not have defects. Why would anyone settle for bad quality? Products these days should not have any issues with the technology we have.
This doesn't make sense to me.
Mine is arriving next week and I hope everything is perfect.

I agree, if it was a true issue I would get a new one. In my case, it is only raised in the middle, and not that noticeable. Everything else is fine. You can fix that too

Besides it shouldn't affect performance. I hope

When I got my second one from the play store, it looked like the middle of the left side was raised. I thought I pushed it down but it never came back up.
I keep looking at it and touching it but nothing. I don't know if I imagined it or maybe bad lighting.
Just install a TPU case where the lip overhangs the screen. Problem solved. Out of sight out of mind. I'm enjoying my N7.
If its a problem 6 months later then I'll call and exchange it. Big whoop.

Doesn't affect my daily use so why should I care. I purchased a two year warranty through square trade should anything go wrong. I shouldn't expect defects but if it truly isn't hurting anything, then meh.

I don't think that they all have this issue, only a select few. I have been lucky enough to get 4 Nexus 7's and no issues. I have seen the issue posted on the site several times though, and the fixes seem pretty easy. There are some youtube videos on fixing it too. Good luck fixing it mate, would take advantage of the warranty if I were you.
Thank you! I can't understand why anyone would send it in for something like that

I can't understand how people can keep a touch device with a raised squishy screen myself.

You can't understand how when someone holds their tablet by the left bezel and it creaks like a floor board, they'd like to return it? That perhaps when using the tablet as a book they don't want to be distracted by clicking noises?

I am not talking about a problem to that extreme, I am talking about, a very slight raise in the middle, with no squeak. The only thing that I can think of that could be bothersome about that is that when you push hard on the bezel, a little bit of the left screen ripples

I have exact the same problem as described. They most annoying part is they "cracking" sound it does when tapping on the left side. I curious whether the touchscreen responsivness issue is somehow related to this problem.
Btw I thought it might be related to the processor since its also on the left side, maybe the heat causes the glue to detach ... if you know what I mean.

Hey all,
I received received my LG Nexus 4. I don't know if I may have damaged my screen but hopefully you guys can help clear up my queries.
I've been trying on screen protectors and my case, I don't know if maybe I've damaged it. But, one thing that has lead me to believe this is when I start up Nexus 4, during the Google screen at the top right, there is a bit of light exposure.
Basically, I would assume that during the Google screen at boot up, the whole screen would be black right except where it says Google.
Mine has a bit of faint white light on the top right corner.
Could anyone help clarify this for me?
Appreciate it, thank you!
I'm assuming that on most Nexus 4's that around the Google logo at boot up it is pitch black. But, others with Nexus 4's please check on boot up at the Google screen around the top right edge, do you also have a white/faint tint in the corner?
Are there anyways to check this? That the touchscreen is still functioning in the corner? Am I worrying too much about it? Is there a way of testing the screen?
Is your case still on the device? I'm not sure which one you're using, but it's possible that it may be too tight for the Nexus 4, which is causing pinching of the touchscreen.
You're right, at boot, the screen should be pure black, save for the Google logo and that unlocked icon (for unlocked bootloaders).
You can check if it's still registering touch feedback by going to Settings > Developer options > Show touches. Then try touching that area and looking for a white circle. Or simpler, you can pull down the notification shade from the upper right edge.
If it's still in warranty, maybe you could have it returned too.

I'm using a Ringke Fusion case, it's brand new. This was yesterday I noticed this on the screen, I was a bit annoyed after wasting a couple of screen protectors getting it on, hopefully when I go home and look at it today it looks pure black but I doubt it. I will try out the methods recommended.
@mlag: Surely I couldn't have broken it? Everyday people must put these phones into there jeans or tight trousers and it must put some pressure on the screen. As I said yesterday I was a little frustrated after going through many screen protectors trying to get it on properly. Hopefully today when I switch it on when I go home it looks better.
Sounds like it's just the normal light bleed

So I've established that light bleeding on the Nexus 4 along the top of the screen is quite common. After reading from this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133655
Now can anyone tell me how light bleeding is caused? I'd appreciate it, thanks!
Its the display itself when made, you can't cause your phone to get light bleed at least I don't think. I also have a little on the top right.

Thanks for your response mate in both threads, I read the other one and I agree with you. It doesn't bother me, it is only because I switched on the new phone yesterday I was just playing with it as I haven't got my new SIM to use it yet. And, I noticed at the top on the right there was a very faint light bleeding, it isn't that noticable.
I will carry on using it as it is.

So I have desided I would live with the phones warm ish colour its not as bad now. But the mid right side of the phone I can say hit settings on the notification bar and I can clearly see marks happen on the screen for a few seconds like I was pushing down hard on the screen when I certainly was not :/ Whats this and are they all like this or is this one a dud?

Okay thanks. How much pressure do you have to.use before it would do it? Im about to drive down to best buy real quick even though its a little under an hour drive to get a.replacement.
Isn't this also using the zero gap technology? If so then the "closeness" improves touchscreen responsiveness.

I just got back from doing an exchange this one is NOT as bad as the first one its manageable! The screen colour is a little better too still warm but not redish like the other one.
Am I the only one that notice how sensitive the display is on the S7 Edge? Most times when I'm scrolling through the Internet, XDA app, etc. it seems to be too sensitive and it'll make GHOST touches.
I had this issue on the One Plus One before but it seemed to be a hardware defect. Hopefully that isn't the same here.
BTW I HAVE A SPIGEN CASE ON IT SO I'M NOT ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHING THE SIDES.
I have the same occasional issue with or without a case. Considering returning it for a regular s7
Gave it to my wife to try and she says it's way too sensitive (compared to her iPhone ). I've been feeling it's sensitive also....
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Same here. I have he T-mobile S7 Edge. Sometimes it seems like all I have to do is hover my finger a couple of mm's above the screen and it registers as though I am touching it. If I remember correctly, didn't the S3 have a setting that could adjust the sensitivity?
It will be fixed with update here soon... Samsung is in the midst or rolling out the update for the edge display... Its a worldwide issue.
For a second I thought it was just me. Hopefully it's just a software issue. I love this phone and I would hate to return it. It's already bad enough that our bootloader is locked.
How is it sensitive? In trying to figure it out lol I should have it too.

You'll notice how sensitive it is once you scroll through the web browser. You will notice a ton of accidental presses.

Ok so I did some testing....it works fine with the Web broswer. I've tried intense sites like CNN,MSN and NFL they all work great. Load fast and scrolled fast too. Absolutely not one accidental touch. I don't see the sensitive side. Maybe yall are just not used to something that can fly? Because it IS fast, it's like my brain touches before seeing.

I would assume that just about everyone on XDA is used to a FAST phone. If the phone works flawless for you then fine but there is obviously an issue with this phone and it's sensitivity.
Yea I made a thread about this issue before. Can't find it ATM.
I almost returned the phone because I thought it was a hardware defect but I learned a lot of folks have this issue. I really hope it gets fixed.
It happenes most when I scroll up or down, if my finger doesn't leave the screen with a swiping movement after the initial swioe/scroll, then 1outt of 5 times it will register a press. And if there are selectable items under my scroll, it's a pita and will select things that I may not be aware of. Ugh.. Staring at shipping labels right now debating on a return . but I like the s7 a lot, I'm torn.

Hi folks,
My global version 6T has developed what is likely a physical issue where it switches from ring to vibrate just fine, but going from vibrate to silence often fails when pushing the switch up to the top position. There's nothing obviously / visibly blocking switch travel. It feels like it clicks to position, but no change to silence about 5/6 of the time. Repeat several times, eventually works.
The phone was bought in December 2018 and I'm the only owner. No other problems with it and it is completely stock and up to date.
It has occasionally had this problem for a year but now it's gotten worse.
Any hacks short of sending for repair or opening the phone up?

I had the same problem with my 6T. I used the OnePlus Diagnostic app from apkmirror & it solved my problem.

I'm also dealing with it at times. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
Nothing specific actually. I just ran the diagnosic app. First time it detetected the silent switch & the problem was solved. It never occurred again. I guess it was a software problem.
Also had this issue.
I am was not able to see any sort of dirt in the upper switch area, but it was there.
Use a paper clip or fine needle and try it.
It my case there was a very tiny dirt which prevented the correct top position.
Just stick something in and let us know.

So, I don't have a solution to fix the actual switch, but RussianBear figured out how to set the ringer mode in software so you can bypass the switch, if you need to.

Good find, but I'm not rooted so in my case no dice.
I poked a stiff wire in and pulled out a tiny bit of gunk.it seems a little bit better now. I just have to be careful to make sure silent mode engages.
