Nah I've tried doing a few things like that.

I also read that taking it off the lowest brightness helps, and disabling WiFi powersave option, but still get flicker after trying everything
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocke_lulle:
Exactly the same thing happened to me some months ago. I did send it back to Asus repair center 2 times. The first time they didn't do much but the second time they replaced some components and since then the screen flickering disappeared.

Sometimes the screen keeps turning itself on. I also found my nexus shut down completely once or twice (the battery was not depleted and it was working properly before that).

Weird problems but thank god they rarely happen.

Anyone experience any weird orange burn in on various spots of the screen? I have a soft orange spot on the right side of my screen that is only apparent when reading or browsing the web with a white background. There also seems to be another spot near the top. I just noticed it about 2 weeks ago so I was just curious if anyone else had any burn in problems and if there is anyway to rectify it?

I was thinking of selling my 32GB 2012 model to get money to put towards a 2013 model. The 2013 model is supposed to be a lot better, but with a proper kernel and a bit of overclocking, I score close to 17k in AnTuTu which is only about 3k less than the scores I see for the 2013 model in the Ranking section in AnTuTu. Not sure if it'd even be worth getting rid of since I'd probably have to put in a good $100 after selling my 2012 N7 to get a new 32GB 2013 N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChristianJay:
Bought mine in January from Office Depot, had no problems other then a non-functioning headphone jack (which I didnt realize until it was too late for a store return). About 6 months in, the ghost typing/non-responsive screen issue popped up BAD. So, I RMA'd it, got it back with a new headphone jack and a apparently fixed screen. Well, about a month later it is doing it again alot so I followed the fix mentioned in another thread where you put a small piece of platic under the ribbon connector to the screen to prop it up and it seems to work. We'll see.

The thing that really pisses me off is that ASUS replaced the serial #/warranty sticker (the one on the back that if its missing or unreadable voids the warranty) with one that basically if you touch it the numbers smudge off. It could be a coincidence but it seems awfully convenient for them given the issues that these products are having.

That said, probably wont buy another ASUS product again.

I own two of the first generation Nexus 7's both of them have stopped being recognized by any of my computers (Windows 8 & Vista). They will charge, but the computers won't even show them as connected. Must have got a bad lot, plus they are out of warranty :mad: I bought them at Staples last Christmas (2012).

Nexus root toolkit to get your devices recognised due to outdated drivers

Hey Gambrinus I connected my Nexus 10 and the same thing happened where it charged but the device didn't load... get Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.80 and use the Full Driver Installation Guide (once you open the toolkit it's a big button on the top. This will guide you through deleting all your old instances of Google device USB drivers and as soon as I finished the process which was to install the universal USB drivers and reconnected it worked :).

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

Follow the steps I outlined for Gambrinus and definitely try it... you don't have to root... Wug's toolkit is handy for all sorts of troubleshooting. If your device goes into bootloop sometimes the toolkit can get you out of trouble using the advanced tools. Anyway hope this helps... after a while, with software updates etc there may be drivers on your computer that don't work with your device any more. That's why I deleted all the google/usb/adb drivers, rebooted and once I reconnected my device, all the drivers installed and the device was showing again, but just in case I installed the universal drivers as well. :)

Nexus 7 Invisible Touches

My Nexus 7 had issues with invisible screen touching a few weeks after I bought it, and was like that before AND after I unlocked/rooted it. Hopefully this will be fixed with the 4.3 update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
Im a bit late to this party but mines gotten worse and worse.

Hardly noticed the problems as I usually use bright, colourful screens but when flashing to 442 last night on my 2012 3G I couldnt believe how bad the bleeding had gotten.

I also noticed what I always thought was a fingerprint I had left underneath the screen protector to be a cluster of dead pixels!!!

Emailed Asus pics and copies of receipt as only brought in September last year. Hopefully they can sort it out through RMA.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
so i haven't combed through this thread in a really long time, but i've had my 7 since probably july/august of '12. it's been hands-down the coolest little device i've owned in a while and I was completely hesitant about buying a tablet. in the last few weeks (months) the performance has just been absolutely terrible. i don't know if it's placebo in the sense that because my phone is faster, the 7 seems slow, but man, it's gotten to the point where it's almost unusable.

i've seriously considered getting the '13 7, but i'm trying my best to hold out for what's next. this little guy is going to end up in my 4 y/o's hands pretty soon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
I get that some times. There will be days where it feels like its the slowest tablet ever but you cant figure out why. I played with my mates cheap chinese tablet with similar specs the other day. You could feel the difference, N7 was better by far so just a placebo?

I just wipe and flash a new nightly, feels fine after that.

ASUS just emailed me about an RMA. Bit dubious of the wording though, reads like they will try to wrangle out of a warranty repair as best they can!

Dear

From inspection of the pictures we can inform you that the repair may be

covered by the Asus warranty. We request that you send the machine to us for inspection.

After the engineer’s inspection, the service team will be able to determine if the damage

has been caused by impact or any other improper usage. If this is the case, the repair

will carry a charge. Should there not be damage the machine will be repaired under warranty.

I hope you understand we can only make this decision once the machine has been

inspected by our engineers and cannot give you 100% accurate diagnosis by pictures

alone. The starting fee for a chargeable repair is 35 pounds, which is for shipping

costs only. The quotation is only provided when deemed to be CID (customer induced damage)

after inspection. If the unit is collected for inspection and you wish to have it

returned back unrepaired, the shipping cost still applies.

To book for a collection please complete the online RMA form on the following link:

http://uk.asus.com/rma.

Please state that you are sending the machine for inspection and that you are aware of the

potential costs for a possible out of warranty repair.

Once the form has been processed, you will receive a RMA reference number within 48 hours.

Our courier will collect you unit within 2 working days.

Hi,

That's called screen lift and 95 percent of 2012 models have it to some degree. Nothing new. If it bothers you there are dozens of how to guides and videos to help you try and fix it. Asus may even replace it if it's still under warranty. My screen lift is really bad but it does not bother me.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
i figured it was due to the "cheap RAM" built in these systems. i never had a single performance problem until the latest updates and lately it's just impossibly slow.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkOrPn:
It is due to the cheap NAND used. Hence why one would use a much faster filing system (such as f2fs) and a much more efficient OS, such as a custom AOSP ROM. Carbon flies on F2FS.

My Nexus 7 is dead. And even before it would gag under the most basic tasks like opening the app drawer. Very disappointed with it and especially with all the people who gave it positive reviews in the tech media... they're all in cahoots I suspect. It was a problem the entire time while using it, the battery would randomly drain, Android OS would run while and cause the device to heat up (and battery to drain). I barely used it. Trying an iPad Mini 2 next, wish me luck.

Minor Defects

I have one of the I/O developer models and there are a few defects. The edge around the to of the unit is slightly warped and thus looks bent I direct lighting, and there are a few extra pieces of plastic on the back of the unit.

I had several Xoom both for family and friends and everyone of them is solid. I know it is a small sample but Nexus 7 first batch is poor quality for sure if adhesive fail now it will fail for sure on all of them. Xoom is getting old for sure but still has 5 Ghz , tablet UI on Jelly Bean, and if you think tablet UI is not a big deal, you are wrong, keyboard in landscape on JB on Nexus is awful.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Its completely unreasonable to expect that every single person who orders a Nexus will have a completely defect-free device. Talk about flawed thinking. Now, you may put your shiny new toy under a microscope and find a scratch in the back of your new tablet, that can only be seen when the sun is directly over Uranus while holding the tablet at 18.5 degrees, and that will bug the hell out of you. You'll return your defective tablet and search for the perfect tablet, and after you go through five or so, you will settle with the one you have. Perfection in electronics doesn't exist. What may be perfect to me, isn't to you or someone else. You find a completely defect free piece of technology, I dare you. I'll go to some forum, and there will be 500 people *****ing about said product you proclaim to have been perfect.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiveOhFour:
Im pretty sure you knew damn well what he meant, whether or not its reasonable to expect every tablet ordered is perfect, its still perfectly reasonable for every person who ordered one to only be happy with a perfect (in a reasonable sense of the definition) tablet and therefore everyone should expect a perfect tablet. There are two ways to interpret the sentence, no one cares or doubt that there will be flawed units, but there is no reason anyone should settle for a flawed unit, especially if it effects the useability or lifespan of the product, and to act as if thats not true completely ignores the definition of flaw, if it wasn't a problem it wouldnt be a flaw it would be a feature. Go find a thread where your input is needed or wanted, or come back to this one as a human being with a soul. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
And therein lies the issue. What is perfectly reasonable for one person, may not be reasonable for another. Are you new here? There are people returning phones, and tablets 5 or 6 times for things that you would need OCD to notice, or care about. As far as finding a thread where my input is needed or wanted, who are you to judge? And I'm sure he knew damn well what I meant in my original post that he quoted, but that didn't stop him from challenging it. Again, nothing is flawless, if there are obvious defects like your screen is falling off, your wifi is broken, sure go ahead and return it. There are way too many returns on things that are not noticeable to the naked eye.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chisaki:
If the screens are glued down with adhesive the heat of using the tablet for an extended time then charging (more heat) could soften an uncured adhesive. If you have one without this defect, it would be wise to not let it overheat by extended use and charging. Use to it gets warm then turn it off to let it cool down. Do this for several days and the adhesive should cure and keep a permanent bond. Just a thought.
