[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] greyhulk:
Brand new Nexus 7 here. I have noticed that any action requiring a touch and hold, such as moving an app or widget is often not recognized and I have to try several times. On the other hand, other things seem to be hyper sensitive, like the SwiftKey keyboard where I regularly get double presses.

Is it just me, or are other people experiencing this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidrev71:
I'm having the issue too. Also when using Swype and when resting my finger on an opened browser page and all of a sudden with one finger it'll zoom in real quick. I think I might exchange tomorrow. I've been waiting to see if this is software or hardware issue. I've also had the chrome browser just lock up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezzkmo:
Same. Takes me a couple tries to hold down on the home screen to get the wallpaper option to come up for example. My initial guess is that it's software related...maybe a sensitivity issue? Like it wants to scroll left/right the second you press down which then negates any long-touch pressed-in options until you let go and try again. If that makes sense.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidrev71:
Hopefully this is just software. If there aren't too many having the same issue then it could be hardware.. Are you guys thinking about exchanging for new one?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezzkmo:
Right now I'm not. Everything else seems fine. I really think it's just 4.3 or the new screen or something being more sensitive than the old N7. I just tried it now and about 9 of 10 times i got the wallpaper option to come up, but I was paying attention. So who knows! :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidrev71:
I was just reading in another post in the q&a section and someone with similar issue exchanged and new one didn't have the same screen issues. So, I may just exchange tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] The111:
Same but I've never owned a tablet before. I thought it might just be hard to hold my finger still on such a big screen where I have the finger extended further.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bwint1:
Try a different launcher. I'm on apex with no problems
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidrev71:
So you had the same issues on the stock launcher?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bckrupps:
I have it also. I honestly do not think its hardware related as it was similar to my nook HD+ works great on games but keyboard typing and web page links are spotty. Could be wrong but my personal opinion is its an android thing still lol

to follow up i rooted and installed custome recovery. my screen was registering touches terrible and i was getting frustrated especially within dolphin browser ect. i booted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache and it fixed it right up for me anyway
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] negroplasty:
No problems over here... Are you guys in very humid climates? Maybe that could be making a difference if the screen is over/under-sensitive? Or maybe just bad hardware / connections? My screen is working flawlessly, that's all I know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alicarbovader:
One should wait for proper production to start ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] casonswag:
No issuies here using nova launcher
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Skeltergrave:
No issues at all for me either. The digitizer is working flawlessly. Using stock launcher.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nba1341:
Happens to me all the time especially when typing with double inputs. Being pressed especially. Space bar hence my. Over use of periods
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Apocaliptic:
I' m having the same problem, especially on the chrome browser and the keyboard. I'm returning mine today, also because my screen has a black line all the screen from top to bottom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] phositadc:
Same problem here, but doesn't happen too often. Running nova launcher. Sensitivity is otherwise great.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] greyhulk:
I have confirmed this issue on both stock launcher and Nova launcher. I have not tried Apex.

Sometimes touch and hold will work fine, but other times it's frustratingly bad. Seems like I'm not the only one, which makes me think that swapping it probably won't make a difference. I think I'll just hold out for a software update.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] husker91:
I'm having similar problems here. Figured I'd wait until the official release date to see if they push a fix or something before I return it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ATGAdmin:
I experienced it after initial rooting, but since taking the Supersu update I've not experienced it again. Not sure how many of you are experiencing this on a stock OS, or not. ;)

Sent using XDA premium on my Nexus 7 (2) tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] HKSpeed:
My N7 FHD wont recognixe my ebay stylus, which works on every other device. Can this be related to the over sensitivity?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aiiee:
same issue re screen not responding when new, but now after two days use it appears to be improved
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] greyhulk:
Well, you get two updates out of the box. I doubt there will be a third by the "official" release date.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DaleKaleD:
So I got one from a Best buy on Friday, and it took me till almost midnight before I troubleshooted that it seemed that there were gaps in the touch sensitivity.

The end result being if I had an icon picked up and was dragging it across the screen, if I hit a spot it would think I took my finger off and drop it. As well any type of swipe typing wouldn't work as I couldn't complete a line between letters without a break in the line.

There were 3 apps that I used for testing, two just trace the contact point so you can see gaps, the other had a whole suite of other things as well.

Went in Saturday first thing and exchanged it with no trouble, and once the setup and app install was done the first thing was to test the new one.

No issues. What this means in the bigger picture of the overall release... No clue. But thought it was a good data point.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gizak:
I'm also experiencing the keyboard double clicks when touch typing. I also noticed that when using a touchpad app to remotely control my media center it would stop tracking my finger or think it was a long hold click and simulate a right click/context menu.

Hoping this is software related... Hate doing returns/exchanges.

Running stock, with stock launcher, 32gb model.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xrtreas:
I agree 100% with your assessment. My findings have been the same. These touch screen problems are absolutely destroying my enjoyment of this tablet. The screen is constantly changing its mind on whether or not my finger is touching it. Many times it will register multiple touches rather than just one. It will also register touches in other areas that I'm not touching causing messages to send when I'm not doing anything other than holding down the backspace key. Pinch and zoom isn't working great, sliding over the built in keyboard never works because it keeps thinking my finger has left the screen. I HATE this. Everything else is perfect. It's my fault, I sold my 2012 Nexus. 7 before trying this and I'm really regretting it right now. Your saying that the replacement doesn't exhibit the same problems?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DaleKaleD:
Now running on a... day and a bit of use, and nope, none of the issues that popped up with the 1st one.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester

This is what I used to fully diagnose the issue, there is a payed touch screen tester option, well worth it i thought, that allowed me to see the gaps, and the jumps in position.

when I used the same app on my new one, nothing other than my shaky hand was causing any issues, and thats all on me
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] slyd0997:
Returning mine today for touchscreen issue. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fsalazar504:
I get that hyper sensitivity when typing as well. When typing too fast it seems to be more prevelant
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xrtreas:
I'm at BestBuy now. Really worried to exchange because it was basically perfect outside the MASSIVE touch issues I am having. Technically, it's also locked up five times in the day I've had it and the speaker by the camera is two to three times louder than the one near the charger. I think the speaker is going to be a standard problem on all based on the design and I'm okay with that. The screen is Superb.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nba1341:
Same here my screen is perfect. Hate to return if its a software isssue
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ryken229:
I'm also experiencing this, running stock on Nova launcher. Takes me forever to move a widget or an app icon. Not having typing issues though...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] neiander:
I too have touch issues. Really only noticed it with Swype inputting. Debating about replacing or waiting it out. May just use the old tappa tappa way of typing for a while and see if Google makes any sort of announcement
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xrtreas:
Update. I've exchange my 32GB N7 at BestBuy. The initial update completed but I haven't applied the second one yet. Currently on build number JWR66N and the touch is working perfectly. I will try the second update after little more checking and check back in soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidrev71:
I exchanged today and my issues are gone.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

It's not climate related.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xrtreas:
I stuck around the mall testing the screen. Touch is GREAT in the replacement N7 and I've proceeded with the second update. I am now on build number JSS15J and everything still appears to be fine. Swiping on the keyboard works as does Scrolling web pages, moving icons on the home screen, using "dead-pixel-checker" does Not show skips in finger awareness like before, and I'm not getting multiple characters for single taps any more. My phone is just about out of battery since I was using it for 4G WiFi tether. I'll have to check screen/speakers/etc later in a controlled environment. AKA not the mall food court.

Side note. Wow the XDA site really hates the Chrome browser on my phone right now. The site works great on Dolphin but its locking up on my Chrome.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] transceiver:
Has anyone else tried it with a stylus? Mine does not work at all using a capacitive stylus. The lines look like crap. The Adonis stylus that works so well on my galaxy nexus doesn't even show up here.

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

If an exchange fixes the problem then it is not a software issue!

Why don't more review sites test the touchscreen?

Edit: tried it on my other stylus (AYL brand, but no longer sold at Amazon) and it works perfectly. The hex3 stylus (http://www.hex3.co/products/jaja) does NOT work at all with the nexus 7. I would guess that the similar Adonit Jot will also not work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
I had bad problems with double letters on my old N7 with custom keyboards. Using stock AOKP was fine. I was using ThumbKeyboard.

There have been some issues of touch screen dead zones. Download a touch test app and see what you find.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xrtreas:
Your comment would imply that all units are having problems, which is clearly not the case. I have no doubts that review models what perfectly fine given the small sample size that that was. I happen to get one unit with a wonky digitizer and one perfectly fine. And do not read into that last statement thinking that half of them have problems. That is also not the case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jayrocndc:
I'm having issues with touch sensitivity too. But I really don't want to return my unit because its so random and other than that this tablet is awesome. Its mostly when using Chrome browser and hard pressing links to get the option menu.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
Have a dead spot right in middle of keyboard portrait mode according to multi touch app. Just skips right over area. Do I trade back in at best buy tomorrow??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] neiander:
I think I am going to exchange mine tomorrow due to the touch issue I am having. After really playing with it today, it is very glichy. My touch is jumping all over the place. It's becoming rather annoying.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] WilliamG:
Definitely exchange if your screen is misbehaving in any way. The QC on the new Nexus is APPALLING. I say that, having bought two. One 16GB for me, and one 32GB for my wife. My 16GB is great. The 32GB has a terrible touch-screen, repeating presses, not registering touches. Yuck!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nba1341:
Went to staples to check out the one they had on display. It was on Build Number JWR66N and no touch screen problems at all. Mine is on JSS15J with the touch screen problems.

Maybe its related to build number?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] S8B:
Same issue here as well. I thought about returning it until I read this thread. Hoping it's just a software issue that Google will fix very soon. It's not a big deal, but rather annoying.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] albundy2010:
If you got issues exchange it. There are plenty of folks with the same device with the same firmware that don't have any screen issues at all.

Don't put up with faulty hardware. Just exchange it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] neiander:
Just exchanged and the problem is gone. Whew!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] eyecon82:
ive exchanged my device twice already and each one has had this problem

i really run into these issues with chrome and its normal otherwie
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
called bestbuy and they are holding me a new 32 gb when i get off work tonight. good thing i got 32 gb cause out store is the only one with them left close to me and all 16 are gone in are!!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wicketr:
I'm also having touch issues with this brand new stock device. This is most pronounced with trying to touch and drag. It will either "let go" or think i double clicked on some icon.

I think some devices may have better touch sensors on them, but I would hope this is just a calibration setting that they need to fix through software so that those with non-perfect sensors aren't cursing their device every 30 minutes. If this is truely hardware only, there could be a BUNCH of Nexus' 7s returned for this problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
i have a brand new one now thanks to bestbuy. manager said i was moving finger too fast and thats why it was skipping around. he opended new device and i messed with it just as fast if not faster then old one and has no problem picking up my finger. he said ok take this one LOL.

fyi i compared serial numbers on the old and new one and wow they are way different. the old was 0d2x049 or something like that and new one was 0502159 or something of that nature all numbers on new and mix of numbers and letters on the first one. any idea what is up with that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wicketr:
I'm not sure about the serial number, but from what I read in the other thread about multi-touch issues, the exchanged unit he got worked better....until he applied the OS patch. Once that was done, his replacement unit began acting like the first one with erratic behavior. Wonder if yours replacement is doing the same thing after all the updates.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
I have done both the updates and no issues. I'm unlocked, rooted but on stock still. The batches/serial numbers are really strange that they would be that different though
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kentondb:
In noticing the same thing. I downloaded that program and it seems to show 1-2 extra key presses when I do the thumb thing.

Swipe is iffy about 10% of the time. Not happy as my screen is otherwise perfect and I love this tablet. I'm an Apple guy and my last android was an att captivate.

Is this a software or hardware problem.

Also I unlocked the boot loader and am root. Issues with a return???
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] The111:
Where exactly are you reading the serial no from?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
I returned to best buy unlocked and just deleted super su app and then did factory reset. No issues from bb

The box or the about tablet in settings
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kentondb:
I didn't even delete su. He didn't care or look.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] greyhulk:
The first one I took back, it was because I had completely deleted the /system folder in TWRP while rooting (don't ask) and had no way to restore it because the stock image wasn't out yet. I relocked the bootloader and took it back and told them it wouldn't boot past the Google screen (which was true). They didn't even question me, just swapped me out.

Some guy at the Google/Asus refurb center is going to get that tablet and boot it up and be like "What a jerk". It still had TWRP on it and I'm pretty sure SuperSU was still on the SDcard.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kliu888:
Does anyone know where to get JWR66N? I too noticed the problem only occurs after updating to JSS15J. I've already exchanged it once & would like to just confirm it one more time. If it's software then I may keep it & wait for update. Otherwise I would return it. Everywhere I look it's JSS15J. If you know where to get JWR66N please post here. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] david84us:
I think in order to fix that, they have to install new image, so it will be erased anyway.

My 32 GB Nexus 7 has not been experiencin multitouch issues as much as total screen unresponsiveness. After first it was very sporadic and a mild annoyance with it working properly most of the time, but the last few days it has grown increasingly worse where sometimes I would touch the unlock button on the lock screen and the display will freeze and fail to unlock, or sometimes I unlock and swipe like normal but then the screen becomes unresponsive to taps & swipes within seconds, Now I can't seem to use the tablet at all today (this morning it worked ok) unless I have the tablet powered off for a while and then try to use it again and its usuable for a while before the problem acts up again. Mine is rooted and running CM 10.2 right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xXhodorXx:
Watch your fingers!

It isn't a software issue. The screen is too slippery! Seriously. For those of you who have this problem, watch your thumb or finger when you long-press the screen. My fingers slip a lot. Also, I don't think the screen is oversensitive. I read about it in forum after forum, but I think it is wrong. I think it is evident in the way even the best styli fail to work for any sort of handwriting. I think the screen's sensitivity is garbage. I have an overpriced Adonit stylus. It claims to be the most precise stylus in the world but it barely registers on my FLO. Having said that, it is absolutely magical on the Galaxy S3, which has a stupidly sensitive screen. There may be something about the rom or kernel I'm running, but I have had the same results with every rom I've used.

Would it be possible to port Transmission to Ubuntu touch as Transmission does have a qt user interface?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inferno986return:
I have to apologise for the late reply don't I? Sorry.

All the code is out there and Transmission is indeed powered by QT for the QT port for KDE and others using the framework: http://www.transmissionbt.com/

Transmission appears to be coded in C for the most part. C to my knowledge can be converted to C++ pretty easily. So with just some work I can imagine that you can get the Transmission BitTorrent working on Ubuntu Touch. At least the remote would be nice, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neogb.rtac

Hi all,

Last night, i rooted by N7000 through PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and was successful in doing that.

Later i wanted to update my device to 4.2.2. So i downloaded cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip file and kept in my external SD card.

Then in recovery mode,i wipe the factory data. There was option wipe data or wipe to install new ROM. I selected the latter one. Wipe for installing new om was successful. Then i went to update zip.file option. But since the file was in external sd card, it was not detected and i was not able to select the file. Then i rebooted the phone but only 'Samsung galaxy N7000' screen was coming and nothing was happening.

I rebooted my phone many times but same screen was coming. Then in morning i went in advance options. I selected Recovery Bootloader. Downloading screen was coming and nothing was happening. Then i switched my off and trying to start in recovery mode but its not starting.

I thin i have no checked USB debugging.

Kindly help soon as i am helpless without phone. Your early response will be highly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
With the option "install new Rom" you removed your old Rom from your device. So it is only logical that your device won't boot into it.

Next time follow the installation instructions given in the CM-thread exactly.

And of course you can choose a zip from external sd card in CWM. So take a look again.

Best thing to do for you: boot into download mode, install a stock Rom with PC Odin and use it without changing things.
