Makes sense. The screen is dead flat, so it has to be the back case that is separating. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
this isn't new and has already been covered already.

[Nexus 7 General] badasscat:
It was covered in the main screen lift thread, which is like 90 pages long and has every possible remedy tested, dissected and mostly debunked. The fact is there are several factors causing the lift and there need to be several solutions to really fix it 100%, and permanently. You can make it better in various ways, one of which is removing that foam, although I believe the foam is there to keep the back from flexing and compressing those metal "prongs", causing them to lose contact. So you might have other problems later without the foam. I probably wouldn't mess with it, personally.

I personally think a workable solution for most N7's with this problem would be to shave that foam down evenly by like 0.3mm, then clamp the screen to the trim and leave it in a hot car like that for a day or so to re-adhere, without the back cover on. Then cool the tablet down and replace the back cover. The hard part is evenly shaving down the foam; it is just a tiny bit too big. But it should be present.
[Nexus 7 General] Danny80y:
Well I thought I could live with it but the lift is back.... I have also noted that my 8gb gets really poor wifi connection compared to my wife's 16gb. All the clips are still contacting the back plate but I can see no difference in signal with or without the back on. So, I just called google and they are shipping out a new unit for me tomorrow. Hopefully this one is better.
[Nexus 7 General] alferret:
Took the back off to look at screen lift fix. Low & behold 3 screws missing on the LH side of the unit. Also some fingerprints on the copper plates, 2 loose (more than 1 full turn to tighten) screws on the RH side, metal tape/gauze over phone socket loose.
[Nexus 7 General] mike5065:
Thanks for all this info. My foam was glued at about 25 degrees off-angle, and clearly compressed at the corner closest to the bezel, so a problem for mine' right from the factory. I didn't get it all off, but most for sure. Once removed, the bulge I had at that point between the bezel and rear case was gone. So was some screen lift' although the washers helped more for that. Not a big win, just another step forward.

I'm still curious why some pics on other thread show no foam, as shipped.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30974024

From my looking, it's in a seemingly non-functional gap, and presses down a wide cable (or something). I earlier traced movement of that cable as the source of 'creaking' I was having, i.e. when it moved against another piece of plastic beside the bezel. I put some lithium where it rubbed and the creaking stopped. Mind you I did that (and the 3 washers precisely tightened) before i removed most of the foam.

My Tf101 was a lot less maintenance than this one. But once done (crossing fingers lol), it's causing my iPad3 to collect dust. This thing just screams. Loving it.

Again, thanks for the info.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nfinity:
So, while I was taking notes in class using S Note, I noticed that couldn't really write the letter "y" when typing on the right side of the page. After messing around a little bit in that area, I realized that the pen marks were just below and to the left of where I was writing (In between the bezel and where the lines end, and a few centimeters above the location of the light sensor when it's on the right side of the tablet). I'm going to test it again later today.

Has anybody else encountered this issue?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nfinity:
So after fiddling around a little more, I realized that it applies to the aforementioned area (on both sides) for the full length of the screen (from top to bottom when holding the tablet in portrait).It's odd that it would be the same on both sides of the screen the same distance from the bezel. I'm going to make my way to best buy to try the demo unit for similar issues.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mi7chy:
That's just the nature of the technology. Behavior is consistent across multiple devices. Touch input is also offset towards the edge for the top and bottom edges in landscape. Not a big deal.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] virtual-aidz:
Funny. I don't seem to have that problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AbeOwitz:
This is likely the LCD metal frame and surrounding electronics distorting the Wacom radio field...

Distortion is visible if you use a ruler to draw straight lines, as in this image:

Intuos and other Wacom tablets have a wide border around them to prevent this distortion.

It would be nice if Wacom had a fine-tuned adjustment for these ranges.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mi7chy:
Turn on 'Show touches' in developer options settings, touch and hold down screen, follow your finger and the dot towards the top or bottom edge in landscape and as you approach approximately 1/2" towards the edge the dot will pull away. Doesn't seem to appy to left and right edges in landscape. Anyhow, not a big deal but good to be aware for the rare instances that you have controls like sliders that close to the edge.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nfinity:
As those who replied have mentioned, I was able to reproduce the issue on the Best Buy demo unit. Thanks for the input everyone, and thanks for the picture AbeOwitz.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] virtual-aidz:
I understand the logic behind it, but it doesn't seem like a problem here?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AbeOwitz:
Interesting... Please try the other sides.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hairdewx:
I am getting only a slight distortion when the pen is really close to the front camera. But even then it is not even near to the distortion in the picture earlier in this thread.

The rest of the screen i'm not getting any distortion.

I'll upload a screenshot in a bit
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] virtual-aidz:
I tried it all over the screen now.

I don't get the problem on the edges except from the top left and bottom right. Not a big deal. The worst is that there is a little spot in the middle, about 2 cm from the bottom and about a 1 cm to the left.

I guess it's magnetic interference from the components in the tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samuelong87:
I noticed this issue when I used a folio case that had magnets. It got so pronounced that there would be a small circle of area (right below the front camera) that couldn't detect any pen input (contact with hands gets registered fine). And yes, jagged lines around there and directly at the opposite side near the Samsung logo.

I got really worried and stopped using the case. The problem ceased. I'm wondering if using such magnetic cases will damage the tablet in the long run. Any thoughts?

One X to rule them all
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaydubbbbs:
I'm no electrical engineer but i don't like magnets near any electronic devices especially when any type of memory storage is involved, but i tend to err on the side of caution. I'm sure there are some folks with greater knowledge about electromagnetism than i in here, but with all the sensors and stuff crammed in there who knows what's going on
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hairdewx:
Here is mine
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] yugi99hitsCOMBO:
i am too

in near of left and right edge side .when use s note to test (and other app) .drag the note area to the side and try to dot with s pen .the dot will not correct point with the pen. the area of this problem is about 1-2 squrebox in s note background.

And i have some problem (maybe not - -) .when i use the Smart lock App to lock file in microsd card (sandisk 32GB ultra class10). it very slow to prepare to lock process.but in the main memory of note10.1 at the same file it normaly .I use this microsd card in galaxy s2 before but it normaly.It can lock and unlock very fast but when use in note10.1 it use long time to lock or unlock..i try to use Hide it pro app(audio manager) to test.and it have the problem same Smart lock.

Have any one got the same problem? Thank you ^^
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kikoushi:
I'm actually scared of the "magnetic closure" thing. Since I've bought the Note when it was first available, I just jumped and bought one of the cases available -at the time, there was only one. However, whenever I use the S-pen with the case on, the accuracy on the edges gets off by millimeters. I just hope that it will not cause any permanent damages, as it works a lot better on the edges without the case -apart from the bottom, it's as problematic.

Anyone know anything about the permanent damage issue? I will not have the opportunity to buy another case for like a month or two, so I want to use mine in the meantime, and replace with a new one as soon as possible afterwards. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samuelong87:
Exactly! I'm really concerned about possible long term damages too. My gut says there is a high chance. But the original Samsung book cover has magnets on its back too. Wouldn't they have realised the issue?

the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.

Hello guys

I bought the note 10.1 recently and I'm very happy with it. Unfortunately I noticed after one week the same problem. I'm not sure if it got worst but *

it appears not only at the edges but also at some other spots. It get worst with low pressure and slow motion. With this imprecision it's not possible to draw ot do some exact sketches. Does sb have the same problem and is this normal or should I let it repair or ask for a new one?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] halwilsco:
It's definitely the magnets.

Just tried a test with cover on vs cover off, and the dispersion on the long left edge was directly above where the magnets were embedded.

Too bad, because I really like that cover.

Just playing around with S-note. The auto shape tool leaves some shapes as outlines but fills othersin. Anyone know the rhyme or reason? I've tried different pensbut get inconsistent results. Circles seem to fill - in more thanother shapes.I've attached an illustration.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I'm confused. Which tool are you guys using? Like toenail_flicker, if I use shape match to hand draw a circle (left) it doesn't fill by itself and isn't selectable for me to modify or fill it on my own. If I insert a shape (right) it still doesn't fill by itself but it is selectable and I can fill it if I want to.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchammerpants:
I used the shape match tool for all the shapes in the screenshot. I cannot select and edit any of them. Some of the circles filled in as disks, and some remained only as outlines.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
As far as I can tell the only shape that will fill itself in is a circle and then only if you are using the 2nd brush from the left. Any circles made with that brush filled in.

I could not get any squares to fill in.

Very odd.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Cowboy:
If you pick the eraser tool then long press on any shape then you can change and adjust it. This works when you insert a box or circle but not sure with shape match. Will play around and report back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] natefuhr:
Due to WiFi issues on the release day OS, I took the 1.22 OTA and screwed root. I knew it would happen but the fixes outweighed the issues. I waited to see if root would be achieved via Regaw or the like since I didn't want to lose any of my configuration. Now... Sense 4.1 was just too tempting to pass up and since I wasn't rooted anyways, I went for it.

I decided to attempt root and start from scratch anyways as I was having random app issues and some bloat problems.

The root method from HTC Dev worked flawlessly on the new new OTA and I was able to load TWRP and SuperUser via fastboot (instructions can be found by searching as I did).

So now here is the question: where does this leave me as far as flashing ROMs... Obviously I am aware that I am S-On and know those limitations. My issue is if and where any limits may apply now that I am HBOOT 1.19. Will I be stuck with only 2.13 ROMs that we're built based on the new HBOOT or can I flash any Rom based on 2.13 (or even older revisions)? I cant risk bricking so I am asking to be cautious as well as your answers providing any new users coming in with new phones running the latest OTA.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
Why did HTC update hboot 1.15? Because they discovered an exploit flaw that we could gain S-OFF with, which is FAR better than being on HTC Dumlock. If you are not concerned with obtaining S-OFF via LazyPanda and the like, this should not be a concern.

Also, being on the new hboot means that backwards compatibility to ROMs that are not based on the new OTA could become an issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bivrules:
New h boot for you only means that you won't be able to get s-off for a very long time probably since nobody has figured out how to even s-off h boot 1.15 yet. You shouldn't have an issue flashing any rom from my understanding as long as it's through recovery.

Edit : I would listen to Michael on this one regarding ROMs sounds like he knows more lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timtlm:
Yes, you will be stuck flashing 2.13 roms with the 2.13 kernel. However, you can use one of the workaround methods (fastboot, flash image gui, twrp dumlock) to flashing an older kernel, and then flash roms based on a previous OTA base.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbarrett:
A ROM doesn't include an HBoot though, so there shouldn't be ROM/HBoot compatibility issues, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
No, you can flash whatever version of android you want
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arrogantbastard:
I don't think that's quite right (I could be wrong though).

If he wants to flash a JB-based ROM, he will definitely have to flash the boot.img separately via one of the workarounds mentioned.

If he wants to move between Sense-based ROMs, he *might* be OK. But he will not get any tweaks the dev may have made to the kernel included with his respective ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
I was referring to the question above me that asked about ROMs interfering with hboots

Having an old ROM on a new hboot won't cause issues.

Naturally, you need to have a working kernel for your ROM. So yes, you'll need to make sure you have the right kernel.

If he goes from any ROM to a ROM on a different base you'll have to install the correct kernel. . But I don't think that's what he was asking
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arrogantbastard:
Got it. I thought you were replying in general.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aschlect:
I'd like to re-root after taking the OTA and I've searched all over for the instructions on how to load TWRP and SuperUser via fastboot, but can't find it. Can you assist?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbarrett:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, a ROM includes a Kernel, so when you flash a ROM you're swapping kernels.

The only kernel incompatibility would be if you flashed a ROM then flashed a Kernel, then you have to be careful.

If anybody is absolutely certain that this isn't the case and not just guessing, let me know and I'll stand corrected.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
That's true for 1.12, since it allows you to flash kernels through recovery. The newer versions don't. That's the reason for using the fastboot or dumlock workarounds. That being said, I haven't heard anyone confirm yet that these methods still work on 1.19...I'm interested to know.

I've been waiting for s-off forever, then it finally came but long story short gf saw update (hboot 1.15) and accepted and I'm wondering since there's still no s-off, and this is a very silly question but I've never used Dev unlock, is nandroid backup possible in case something does go wrong
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] natefuhr:
From what I can tell... No. You have to run HTC Dev first in order to get to where you can load a recovery program at which point you will have already had to wipe your phone to factory defaults.

It's unfortunate and the main reason I waited so long to unlock this way but as previously stated, Sense 4.1 was too hard to pass on

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Yes, every ROM includes a kernel.

But Hboot 1.15 and above do not let you flash things to the boot partition in recovery. The kernel goes in the boot partition. So you can't flash kernels normally through recovery.

If your on a sense ROM and flash an AOSP rom, the phone wont boot

If your on an AOSP ROM and flash a sense ROM, the phone wont boot

If your on an old base and flash a new base, the ROM will have issues (if it even boots)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nuc noob:
I can confirm. Purchased my phone and it already had newer hboot 1.15 installed. Got used to using flash GUI while on the go, and fast boot flashing kernel when at home. I relocked and ran the RUU to get onto the newest software base. Needed the new radios and firmware. I then re unlocked, fast boot flashed twrp, and flashed flex's goodies 2.1. All is good so far. I then used flash GUI to flash Deck's kernal and tryed out CM10 again. So far no issues. Flash GUI makes it easy, just requires a couple extra steps prior to flashing ROMs. Couldn't wait around for S off. I'll probably be looking at a new phone by then.:o the whole process took maybe an hour from start to finish. Would have taken less if I hadn't mistyped the unlock code command four times. Damn my lysdexia!:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] natefuhr:
That's the only thing I haven't played around with (FlashGUI)... I will have to look into it but it's gonna have to wait for a bit... I make it a point to not delve into new territories on my phone during weekends where heavy drinking is extremely likely :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
I would strongly suggest AGAINST using flash GUI until you have successsfully done it via fastboot.

Reason being if for some reason flash GUI fails your phone isnt going to boot and you can't use it to try again because its just an app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] natefuhr:
I can agree with that... It's always good to know how to save your skin the "hard way" instead of relying on a "cheaters tool" (no offense meant for the developers of FlashGUI or other such tools... We do really appreciate y'all making our lives easier)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nuc noob:
I'll +1 this too. I actually find it faster to fastboot flash boot.img than doing it with flashgui. Its always best to know how to do it the O.G. way first. I'm totally new to android, but I can read and follow proceedures (former Nuclear Submariner) so I've learned tons in just a short few weeks. I find it to be essential to know multiple ways to get yourself back to operational.:). Flashgui is great for when I'm not near my laptop, I justake sure I'm flashing something I've verified to work already. New stuff, I flash at home where all my tools are.
