[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixinguiness:
I was just about to swap my N7 out at staples and I found this thread. Mine was a custom in dash install in my Tundra that was meant to be semi permanent so you can see my distaste for returning it.

Anyway, I disabled Google Currents and that seems to have solved it for me so far. I enabled the on screen dot so I know when it is activating the screen. I will leave that up for another few days and see what happens.

I say we all decide to call on the same day and complain that this is a NEXUS device and that it shouldn't be having these issues like screen cracking / lift, touch sensitivity becoming unresponsive . We pick a day not a time just a day to call google. Nexus devices should be held to a higher standard.

Asus you were a horrible choice as the n7 manufacturer & Imo you really truly BLEW IT. ASUS = FAIL

Eclipse Rom

You could try the Eclipse 15 Rom, with Clemsys 1.5 extreme Kernel. I am on my second Nexus 7 now (sound card fried on first one, bad app, long story) and its working perfectly with this rom. There is only a couple of basic google apps, no google currents, wallet etc. Its very light and quick. Root uninstaller works good for uninstalling system apps. I use Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock and root my 7. I used the custom recovery(use the quick boot app to easily access recovery) to wipe the caches, factory reset and wipe the system rom and then used it to install the Eclipse Rom and clemsyns 1.5 extreme Kernel. Make sure you place the Eclipse Rom and Clemsyn Kernel zip files on your nexus 7 sdcard first. Also when you do a full wipe, make sure you do the install at the same time, do not reboot until you installed the Eclipse Rom and Clemsyn Kernel or your going to have a hard time. After that open SuperSU and let it update, then open Busybox and install that and you should be golden.

I'm having this problem with mine too. I don't think it's lag because one of the main times I notice it is when I'm playing games and the animations don't slow down but it doesn't recognize my touch. It happens about every 10 minutes of heavy use but can last a long time when not using heavy memory apps. I haven't tried much to fix it but have been looking for a while until I stumbled onto this thread. Turning the screen off and back on again seems to fix the problem temporarily.

P.S. Although somewhat unrelated it seems to randomly take screen shots when not in use (put away screen locked). I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this or something else entirely but just another observation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmallard:
I have been having the same problem and I got a fix for ya. I Hold down the power button for 8 secs and do a hard reset. I fixes it every time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungdtdev:
I found out not only whether the screen to sleep and turn it back on is to solve problems, but also rotate the screen will also resolve.

I conclude this error related mechanisms rotate the screen so can be caused by hardware
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borrowedchief:
I occasionally have this issue as well. Putting to sleep and waking seems to fix for me.

But I have noticed that when it wakes, the screen is always dimmer than before. I wonder if its a software issue related to the dimness.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamhcg:
Finally, I've decided not to play around the issue and had my Nexus7 sent back to local Asus for repair.

They replaced my whole LCD Unit and sent it back to me. Now everything is perfect.

After this hardware fix, now I have a Nexus 7 of great speaker, strong wifi signal, brand new LCD (probably from the C9O production line), great responsive touch screen, and no screen lifting.

Everything is perfect and I am happy with it. Maybe hardware fix is the ultimate solution.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vidfreek:
Yeah I'm having the same problem, although I believe I was fine for a the first week or so I used this without rooting it or using a custom rom, ever since then I've tried quite a few roms and some do it more than others, so I'm not quite sure its the screen at this point when I'm having better luck with one rom over another, sometimes it doesnt do it at all for quite a while and then all of a sudden it takes 3 taps to hit an icon or a couple of swipes to change the screen. You really notice it in a game like Zen Pinball, when my thumb touch doesnt register to move a flipper, obviously need that to work for a game like that ;)

Not really sure what to do with it as it seems like it could be software related to me, I know one ROM before it was update, I believe it was Glazed, had this problem big time before it was fixed up quite a bit, it still did it to me on occasion but not as bad as the one build I was using before it got updated. Just makes me wonder if its something in the main stock image that is being replicated across all the custom roms. Of course someone just said they got theirs replaced and its its fine now, but mine was perfectly fine till I rooted and started using custom roms, so I have no idea
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vidfreek:
Well I put on a different Kernel with the Xenon ROM I'm currently using and I havent had any lag since then, was getting it fairly often with the stock kernel that came with the ROM, so for me that fixed the issue so far, a couple days and no lag yet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
Instead of guessing go into Settings>Developer Options and turn on Show Touches. That you'll visibly see if it's registering touch or not or if the app is busy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vidfreek:
Okay, I turned that on, we will see what happens after some use, although the tablet stays bad and unresponsive after I'm done playing a game like Zen Pinball, it seems it gets worse as the GPU heats up to play the game, after I'm out of the game, menus and changing screens or scrolling have problems registering my touch, instead of scrolling up in say, Facebook, it just opens something instead. It really doesnt get better till I reboot, which seems to be consistent with other people's issues

EDIT:

Yep after playing some more Zen Pinball, it starts doing the same thing and it definitely isnt registering my fingers hitting the screen, after I was out of the game it wouldnt register me touching the home screen, I just started tapping every where and randomly my fingers wouldnt register a hit in varying spots. So something is definitely going on with this thing, it seems to me that the GPU heating up is causing the issue on mine. After it has sat for a while and cools back down it seems to run fine but after a bit of playing something it loses its responsiveness pretty quick
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_007_v2:
No need to reboot your n7 just hit the power button. If your screen stops registering touches even in the middle of a game just power off and then right back on. It's a defect that won't go away so call google or return it for a defect free one. Asus Imo you suck grandad b.... Google rocks Asus doesn't.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulabone:
I just received my replacement N7 last week due to the touch screen issue...... i just started to get the same issue on my 1 week old N7.... called google and they said "its my call if i want another replacement" but they will authorize my account for another $249... so i will have a total of $500 sitting in limbo b/c they havent release my first $249 to get this replacement. :eek:

Anyway, im trying out your suggestion and will report back.

Update: touch screen issue back as soon as i started restoring my apps...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbecomingx:
I fixed my issue just by rooting and installing BAMF.

Its only happened once since i did that but it was a lag issue. I was downloading a torrent. So i cant honestly say it was because of the digitizer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemidroids:
If it fixes it EVERY time its not a fix. A fix is one time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PissPot:
I agree and this is only a bandaid fix, definitely not normal behavior.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Im pretty sure if you can initiate the issue (touching the screen before turning the device on and it having the stuttering issues) then thats hardware. However if like myself only get it every once in a while then im pretty sure its software. I get it ever so often but could never get it to happen on purpose.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PissPot:
Exact same issue as my previous N7, I was happy to apply the quick fix solution but then it started behaving in such a manner that it was unbearable. It started auto selecting options when I was not touching the screen at all, it was as tho an invisible hand was constantly pressing the screen on the same area.

It was this that prompted me to return mine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkLI88:
I also believe this to be a software issue. I have had it on my 8 Gig model that I had for a week and returned yesterday for a 16 Gig model and I am already seeing the issue on the 16 Gig one. Rebooting has fixed it. Next time it happens I will try just shutting off the screen as that is quicker than having to reboot. I am completely stock not rooted. I hope Google pushes a fix soon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin2:
When I started using XenonHD rom, which uses the JRO03R kernel, the issue was gone for a week. Yesterday it came back... I was so happy :( Bummer. I want to swap it for a different N7, but I feel like every N7 has this problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t_007_v2:
If you can return it I would. The digitizer is defective on everyone's n7 that is posting on this thread. I seriously doubt their going to release some kind of patch for this. If there was a work around someone would have posted a solution by now. My first n7 the speaker blew and my 2nd one has this problem both had the slightly raised left side. I never really cared about the slight lift as long as the product works. This is my first Asus product and I'm not impressed. It takes about two days to get my n7 the way I like it. Dang it I only have 200megs of storage left.

Sad part is I would have paid 500 for a Google Nexus tablet. Imo $225 for the 16 and $375 for a truly tricked out n7. google top brass should be flaming on all these QC returns. Google Nexus should be the tier android product.

4.1.2 OTA Update

Well, Google released an OTA update yesterday. So, hopefully this issue is fixed in that update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I very recently started to see this happen and only seems to happen during and after I play the game Dark Legends. I don't know if it's app related or something is going on with the N7. During game play, buttons (areas on the screen) will become unresponsive and will require multiple tries. The problem then seems to carry on after the game is exited. A reboot seems to fix the issue but it refused to last night, I had to clear the data and seemed to correct itself.

I don't play many games and currently just use my N7 for browsing and haven't had problems like this, so I don't know if it's app related or problems that are there and don't know about.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PissPot:
Highly doubt it and even if it does fix the touch responsiveness issue, it won't fix the screen lift lol

I have had 4.1.2 all day today and the unresponsiveness has gone. Additionally it feels a lot more smooth when animations are being used (for example dragging cards in solitaire). Kudos to google although I wish they were a bit more communicative and I wonder why so many tablets were RMAd given this appears to be a software issue at least in my case and many others as well.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawncrasher:
Hi guys.

I bought my nexus 7 5 days ago. I like it very much, but I have one stupid error....

If I restart the device, the touchscreen does not recognice any "touches" - it gets completely unresponsive.

When I turn the screen off and on again, it is still unresponsive.

I have to turn the device off and restart it again by holding the on+volume up+volume down controls. Then I have to choose restart, then the device restarts again and mostly this workaround helps to get the touchscreen back to live......

Do you have any ideas where the problem is? Its the stock ROM with 4.2.1.

Greetings

My Survey about this problem

I've also been facing the same problem just one week after buying my nexus 7. In my case I just noted:

1. I faced it first with android 4.1 rom

2. updating to android 4.1.1 increased the problem

3. I installed a fresh rom while I updated to 4.1.2 and was not facing the problem for a long time.

4. The problem returned when I updated to android 4.2.

5. This problem starts if there is a sudden change in temperature or if the device get worm.

6. Locking the screen for just a few second solves it temporarily.

7. Sometimes turning off the developer option solves the problem instantly.

I don't know if there is something with the OS or not but I'm not facing the problem since I freshly installed 4.2. It's like 2 week. I also updated into 4.2.1 to get my December back :p but I have not face any problem yet.

Random touch gestures..

Hi! I'm fairly new to the android os so bare with me.. I got my nexus 7 in the US but I live in the Philippines so RMA is out of the question.. I got it roughly 2 months ago and at some point it started have dead spots and kept opening stuff by itself.. I enabled the show touches on the developer options and it showed me the random touch gestures causing the dead spots and random opening of app and other things (as shown in the images).. I don't know how to fix it.. I just did a hard reset a while ago but the the problem is still there.. is there anyway of fixing it?! oh, slightly off topic.. I can't update it to 4.1.2 via OTA for some reason.. also tried via the adb thing.. still nothing.. my build number is JRO03S.. Thanks!!

Hey. As you might have seen above I experienced something quite similar. Tried different things without success. I called Asus support a second time last week and they agreed this was not correct behaviour. So they will pickup my tablet this week.

Yesterday, I've got N7 (october release), 32Gb non-3g.

It's accidentally touches screen after unlocking, and sometimes dead-zones are presented too(can't touch some areas on the screen).

So I turned on developer's feature for showing touches and show it to reseller. He applied for changing device. I think it's hardware bug. Don't think that software solve your problem. It's happaned on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 either.
