Recovery? Hmmmmm...... You have custom right? I still have stock since I feel like the tablet would be too slow to mod and flash ROMS... Especially since the performance isn't very good with that glitch...

I say 1.5GHZ quad core is minimum

Wonder what would happen if I did flash a custom recovery...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
Yep

multirom TWRP 2.8 recovery

And just saying

custom ROMs are faster!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleygoggles:
You multirom your tablet? Why?

I know custom are faster but honestly... What can be faster AND have better battery life WITHOUT too many mods... My tablet is for laziness, my Nexus 4 is for modding [emoji6]

Do you think a custom recovery would help though?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
don't know about the recovery if that would help

Mods is what makes our nexus 7 awesome who cares about battery, performance is what we need

I need multirom because I test builds

Asus Nexus 7C 2012 stuck at Google logo without any rooting/flashing/custom modding

My Asus Nexus 7C 2012 got 'bricked' not because I tried to either flash any custom rom/stock (Actually I never did that) or did anything stupid but because of some sets of reasons which resulted in bricked N7C 2012 devices all around the world, and like many other users, it happened 'just' after the warranty period expired. :( (what I remember is that I used an app which uses GPS (GPS Essentials) for tracking for the first time in the morning, then I forgot to exit the app and later in the evening, the device stopped booting normally for ever, i.e. its stuck at Google Logo, not even colorful X of Nexus!). I researched too much to an extent that now I'm bored. Before, I knew nothing about flashing, custom roms, stock, CWM, ADB, fastboot etc etc now I may be a bit of help to other rookies :) but couldn't help troubleshooting my N7C (2012) till now.

I think I have found some step-by-step guides like the one on this webpage with URL (unbrick.itcse dot com/unbrick-soft-bricked-nexus-7) and, believe me, many others. The thing which always stopped me finally giving a try to that was the hope of somehow be able to recover the precious data from the device since it stopped booting. Deciding to go first for flashing, let alone succeeding, has become even harder because somewhere I read to remove -w from a command fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jwr66v.zip to avoid wiping data and now I can't seem to find the webpage. Also, I never updated the android from its factory build i.e. 4.2 (I guess) and actually there used to be a notification present asking for updating the system to some higher version build as far as I remember which I never touched because I was worried it would wipe clean the app settings/data which I did not want at that time.

When I said bricked, I meant that the device doesn't get past the google loading screen. I can get to the bootloader page (where it shows the fastboot mode on first line) and when I select either recovery mode or start, it just freezes at the google screen. Also, I'm kind of sure that I never touched the USB debugging settings before the device got bricked. So if it was not factory enabled, probably it won't be now if that's any meaningful since its not booting!

Hopefully I've explained fully about the problem that I'm having. This is the kind of a problem that others also faced. So, if anyone here knows the right forum or any blogpost which explains the step-by-step procedure to deal with this issue, please share it asap.

Hey guys, I'll throw my 5 cents in...

I have a C90 (thats the first 3 signs on the S/N, right?) which just crashed 3 times in a row for no obvious reasons. Screen went off and the next time I wanted to unlock it was dead. 2 of 3 times I had a physical over USB OTG attached. I googled for it but found nothing. Can anyone give me a tip what might be the cause? Should I try to ask for a replacement?

Also my screen has sort of deep scratch - I put the N7 in my trousers backpocket, forgot it and sat down :( Does that scratch make any sense to you? For me it doesn't...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legom:
I don't have any of the problems listed in the poll (at least, they aren't noticeable) but I do have the problem with the bezel. On the side directly opposite of the volume buttons, the bezel isn't flush with the body of the tablet. Since this is usually where my thumb is, i can feel the bezel bending inward every time I hold the tablet. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thklinge:
I've experienced twice that the battery suddenly goes from over 80% in the evening to beeing off and 0% the next morning. It could be software related (app not closing correctly and draining the batt).

When it arrived it wouldn't charge properly so I popped off the back panel and connected the battery properly. It had popped partially out of its socket during shipping. Asus should invest in a small piece of tape to keep that connector in, or replace with with one that locks in place.

Other than that it's been good. :)

I recently got the 32 GB version of Nexus 7 from Staples and yesterday I found the screen separation issue on the left side. After doing a search about the issue, I was surprised to find that this is one of the major issue from day 1 and it's also consistent with screen separation occurring mostly on the left side, but neither Google or Asus corrected this issue. I loved Nexus 7, but unfortunately I had to return it for that obvious issue. Even at Staples, the lady said that most of the returns were due to the screen separation issue. May be I'll wait for Nexus 10. I'm more confident with Samsung engineering than the Asus.

A bright white spot when viewed against a light coloured background. Its not noticeable against other darker colours.

It has been returned today.. Noticed the fault after a couple of hours after setup.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmgwapo:
More likely a dead pixel to me. Have you tried changing the background color? Does it still stand out?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjr:
Its not visible at all against the home screen for example. Asus have identified it as a hardware fault anyway so its been returned..

Its weird, because the pixel will display red, green and blue fine, but when trying to display white its just much brighter than the rest of the display. But the pixel is obviosly not completely "dead" in the true sense of the word.

Today when I woke up I noticed I had touch issues with my screen. I went to touch my recent apps button and it wasn't responding to the touch. Other areas of the screen are fine. After fiddling around, I loaded up Z Device Test and looked in the screen accuracy section, there is part that allows me to draw around the screen with my finger and it keeps it on screen for a few seconds. The entire section of the screen from where my recent apps button is on the bottom all the way to the top is dead. Its like a perfectly cut out section. Not sure what happened, I've been very good to my N7 and it rarely leaves my desk/bed.

Guess I'll be calling Asus tomorrow after I copy my stuff and return it to stock. I got a screenshot of the dead area after squiggling my finger up and down the that area of the screen, its obvious where it is. I can post it later if anyone cares. Sucks, I love this thing and it has replaced my phone for so much stuff. Maybe I won't get a C6O this time. :(

Hello XDA! So I guess I have to jump through a few hoops to hopefully get an answer. Hopefully it won't be 10 of them. Haha. So Ive been experiencing major scrolling issues with this device, jumpy, sticky, unresponsive..! I've unlocked, rooted, flashed, flashed, flashed, returned, upgraded & re-romed all over again. All the ROMs in the dev section advertise speed, buttery-ness, smoothness so on & so on' some even talk about a scrolling fix.. I've tried just about all of them out & have not rid this thing of the sloppy, jumpy, stubborn scrolling. The only way to really get the screen to "FLING" is to extremely over extend my thumb or use long stokes with my pointer finger. I have an ancient Motorola that scrolls better which makes this even more frustrating. =\

Yes I've cleared caches when installing & do a factory reset every time as monotonous as it can be.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks =)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jis_:
I have exactly the same problem from the day one till now with my Nexus 7 version 4.1.1 => 4.1.2 => 4.2, because I am accustomed over one year to my Samsung Galaxy W version 2.3.5 => 2.3.6 which has absolutely perfect kinetic scrolling. I was shocked how sticky, unresponsive and braked kinetic scrolling is on Jelly Bean device. I just wonder why only a few people complain, like here for example http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...m/191854-scrolling-isnt-fast-phone-print.html, because perfect implementation of kinetic scrolling is mandatory for best user experience when you have to operate touch screen device.

This is one of two biggest issues I have with N7, second one is that it is impossible to copy with any file manager from the market a file on N7 from folder to another folder without changing modified time stamp. It is changed to actual time when you are copying inside the Nexus device or to the Nexus device. Modified time stamp is preserved only when you are copying from the Nexus device.

I have this problem in all versions of JB I have on N7 so far: 4.1.1 => 4.1.2 => 4.2.

I have a c90 ..fixed screen flicker with tape, and turned off nvidia's backlight? cause it would brighten up on opening apps. currently its disabled and I'm not paying any mind to it.

second 'or third ' I play heavy video games, arcane legends to just shout that out..well the keys if I'm holding down the joy to walk it will loose touch..nuff said.

-i believe that maybe a process of heavy load for a split is happening cause other than that touch is pretty good..(it disconnects touch)

I mean if I were to drag down the notifications sometimes gotta do it 2-3 times... but I am sure this has nothing to do with anything touch related/

software lag.

although I am running 515 mb of ram it is really smooth

over clocking didn't help the screen touch..

No screen lift here but still experiencing this...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm affected by the scrolling randomly pulling back. I had the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (though this was more extreme). Here, the pullback could be solved using an app called TouchScreenTune, which allows to disable movement filtering, and lowering the minimum amount of movement required to register said movement. Doing this gave a much more responsive screen. The app doesn't work on the N7 though, but I suppose it would be possible to make a software solution for this 'issue' by someone with that kind of knowledge.

Here's the app: TouchScreenTune

Here's the original thread.

(There was also something about editing a line in the build.prop to increase the amount of registered points - can't seem to find it though)

I'm experiencing the pull back touchscreen problem aswell. It's very annoying as i have to insist to slide between homescreens (with both stock and nova launchers)

The best example is when you try to go down whith a vertical drawer. You can't just go to the bottom in one finger slide, you need more than 1 move.

On SGS I9000, there are some hacks available to increase touchscreen sensivity.

Would it be possible on the N7 ?

It would be nice if there was an option for "no hardware issues". Otherwise it might look like most people have one problem or another. Most of the Nexus 7 units I've encountered in real life did not suffer from any of those issues, including mine. One I saw wasn't perfectly firm - it would make minor "plastic-y" sound when squeezing on the right side of the device. Don't know which option would that be, but on another hand it's not something you would notice under everyday usage scenarios.
