I haven't been having any issues like with 8.1 in regards to the multi touch bug where when two or more touches cross axis it freaks out. Maybe someone else can confirm that its fixed of if there are still having the issue?
It's still present in Android P. Maybe slightly less, but try a multi-touch test app and you will see.

Is it similar to the problem that is fixed by this HTC patch ?

If it is, be warned that this patch fixes the freeze problem, but it adds an even bigger bug (phone calls gets blank for a few seconds sometimes).
No, it's no freeze issue. Actually i think it's a problem that exists with every HD device.. If you compare teeter with iphones labyrinth game you will se that HD's screen is more choppy and laggy.
Bump
Its quite hard to notice the lag but just compare the iphone against it and ull see. I think many would like a fix for this if there were any available

Hi!
I want to buy this tablet but I see that it has 2 issues really bad for me:
- This accelerometer issue
- Touch screen issue (I see that it's fixable with an .apk)
Did you play games and have this issue?
Thanks!

The accelerometer issue has now basically been fixed (although it's not perfect). No new yet on if the new 1.08 firmware completely fixes it, but the fix you can find on Modaco resolves the majority of the issues and lets you play most if not all accelerometer games correctly.

Thanks! I hope this last update fixes both issues. I saw in modaco that the touchscreen is working better than before but nobody talks about the accelerometer
By the way... what was this accellerometer issue?!
Its shocking in games
typed by using my vega as a tennis racquet
I've had my 1st gen Nexus 7 for almost a year, got it in December as a Christmas present to myself and I've had a few problems ranging from the screen not rotating, to aiming issues in fps games and some random reboots, all of these problems usually fixed themselves or I fixed them through tips and guides online.
However this time I'm a little confused; My Nexus 7 last week had a minor issue regarding screen rotation for a day or two in which it seemed to have stuck either in portrait or landscape and it fixed it's self, although since then I still check by rotating my screen on it's 4 ends to check if it does this correctly because I'm paranoid like that.
Now my current issue is with the gyroscope I believe, in games that have the option to use it, I do like in Modern Combat 4, it makes it easier to aim than using the touch screen to manually aim and fire, before I was able to move the camera in every possible direction to aim my weapon and had no issue, although this time my problem is just that.
I try to aim and it lets me for a moment and then it wants to center it's self and then it's really difficult to move my tablet around to aim at all, although moving it really quickly in another direction fixes it, then I try to aim again and it gives me trouble moving the camera.
Not really sure what to do now as I've tried to do my usual things to fix it, and there are two ways I check to see if it's a major problem, I check Modern Combat 4 and see how the aiming is with the gyroscope enabled, and The Sims Freeplay, the reason I mention the Sims is because earlier this year when I was having gyroscope issues my sims would react as if I was flipping the screen from one landscape to the other and would constantly do this.
Also during this time my screen wouldn't rotate but after a week or two the issue somehow fixed it's self and it was fine until now, although the issue is just aiming in FPS games and my sims react just fine now as I can freely rotate my screen without a problem.
Nobody?

I direct you to the Google forum on the Nexus 7 Sensor (aka Gyroscope) problem.
Since I am brandy new on this forum, I can't actually post the URL here:
productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/GgnRFsw3o-Q%5B176-200-false%5D
There look to be about four or five different problems with sensors including the orientation/gyroscope sensor.

I've checked it out and it doesn't seem like many solutions helped, I'm under warranty so I may just send it in for repairs.
I am not sure how many owners of the SM-G730A are mobile gamers at all, but maybe some of you have noticed this...
Since the update to Android KitKat 4.4.2 the touchscreen behaves erratically in certain games, primarily FPS shooters. I know it is not an issue with my particular device, goto Google Play and look up Dead Trigger 2. View the reviews for this device model only, you will see numerous complaints beginning after the date the OTA was released (8/27/14) complaining about the touchscreen controls.
I have downloaded the kernel source code from Samsung for both 4.2.2 and 4.4.2. Upon examining the kernel source, the Atmel touchscreen driver has been updated in 4.4.2. I believe this to be what is causing the problem. I am not sure if it is configured incorrectly or if it is just a poor driver. The Jelly Bean driver gave NO issues what so ever. I would revert back to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean if I could. I also compiled a kernel for KitKat which includes the Jelly Bean Atmel driver, however due to the locked bootloader, it does me no good.
What happens is this, you will have two fingers on the screen. Suddenly it is as though you lifted one, even if you are still touching the screen. Touches are erratic for a few seconds after this happens, then touch returns to normal temporarily until it happens again (usually only a few seconds later). This makes using the device for gaming extremely annoying, and difficult. This issue does not occur in normal use, only gaming, where there is rapidly changing multitouch inputs.
If any of you have noticed this, maybe you can contact Samsung/ATT complaining of the issue, if we're lucky maybe a patch will be released. Or it will be fixed in a future firmware update. I already wrote to both, ATT says they will forward the complaint to their management, Samsung has yet to reply.

Also, this is a video I created demonstrating the problem. The video includes annotations describing the issue that can only be viewed from PC YouTube.

Thanks for reading.
Has anybody with this device tried a multi-touch test? I'm starting to wonder if it's related to my screen protector. The issue only started after the KitKat update though, immediately after. I do a good amount of mobile gaming or I'd never have noticed it still to this day. Never presents itself outside of fps games.
Best way to check (within multi-touch test app):
Touch screen with two fingers.
Keep one stationary and rapidly slide the other around for a few seconds then stop and lift that finger only.
The stationary touch will act as though you lifted even though you didn't.
Sometimes touches will be erratic for a while if the test is repeated several times.
If anyone tries this please let me know if you have a screen protector or not and how it behaved. Thanks.
Nobody with this device on KitKat is willing to do a multitouch test for me?
All you have to do is turn the phone sideways so the app is in landscape mode, touch with two fingers, one on each side of the screen.
Keep one still, move the other rapidly for a little while then stop, but keep touching the screen.
Does the app show that you lifted the other finger even though you didn't?
I'd appreciate it, trying to narrow it down to a kernel driver issue, or screen protector issue.

Thanks for verifying. It's not the screen itself from what I can tell. I tried this on Jelly Bean with no issues. I did go through the kernel source for KitKat and believe it is the KitKat kernel touch driver. I am hoping for ATT/Samsung to release a kernel patch. The multitouch was perfect in JB.
I've read some reviewers complaining about this problem in some reviews of the Yotaphone 2 around the web, but couldn't find anything related in this forum, so...
Is anyone here having problems with the keyboard lagging while typing text? As if the device didn't have enough power to process the character hittings and ends up queuing and eventually missing some of them. I've been using the default Google Keyboard, but this problem is regardless of the keyboard application I use, and is just driving me crazy.
I'm still on Kitkat as it is my favorite Android, but it's so frustrating typing on this device I am really thinking of upgrading just to see this issue gone. Has anyone already experienced these lags? Can anyone confirm that this has been addressed on Lollipop?
The problem is RAM related. Chheck wich application use more RAM in your device and try uninstalling them.
Turns out it is not RAM or processor related, it is a touch sensitivity issue. Actually, according to people responding to the reviewers mentioned, it is not even an issue, but a feature, as it was apparently meant for glove usage (Russian smartphone, makes sense).
And I find it to be the case. If I take care to lift the finger enough from the screen between character hittings, the "problem" goes away.
So....looks like the solution is to tweak the screen sensitivity somehow, or to learn how to live with that once knowing what causes it.
Just to report some findings:
My device was running the RU 4.4.3 firmware when I was coming across this problem. Now with the EU 4.4.3 version, this overly sensitive touch is gone.
So this "glove mode" is definitely something from the russian firmwares.
