I would like to find out what are the dates of the good ones working without a problem. Plus did the box have one or two pieces of tape on the seal. Also what version was on it from boot up. Was it JWR66N ? The ones that are running perfect are they all updated to the JSS15Q?

Are you guys with the perfect ones running unplugged and not holding the tablet in your hands.

It has to be perfect running on its back without it being held or touched on its bezel at all. Meaning you shouldn't be grounding it.

The reason I am saying this is because almost all of them are perfect being plugged in or holding it. The real problem is when its sitting on a table or on a stand on a table. When you just touch the screen it has issues. like ghosting and miss key hits or sticking.

So people we need to put our heads together and figure out which ones are really working and which ones are not. The only way is to give better detail of what you have. I am tired of the bull crap with all this already. I am on my 5th one now.

Telling us yours works great is not Helping, with out details.

Got my Nexus 7 ahead of launch at Best Buy. 1st power up came up No Command. Tried hard reset and the same came up. After 2 minutes the unit restarted on it's own. Booted fine with no issues. When I hard reset the same thing happens. Leave it for 2 minutes and it resets and boots. Very weird. Other than that everything is going well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cashreedhar:
First of all thanks for creating this thread.. I have ordered mine from staples and expecting delivery today. I was scared all devices have these problems, but this thread with multiple experiences gave some good hope now :) *fingers crossed

Edit: Well I got my Nexus 7 (2). The build number JSS15Q 32GB. I checked everything and I can confirm there is not a single issue I can blame on..if anyone wants me to do any kind of tests (don't ask for drop test ;)) just let me know. Yes, there was problem with GPS, and I was not able to get the siignal at all. Well there was an update from google to software. Just installed the software and believe me total satellite fix = 11/19. I am extremely happy. Btw I ordered this one from staples store, they didn't have the stock and they ordered from play store again..
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] atermify:
No issues to speak of here! Had mine since about a week after launch and its run everything I've asked of it flawlessly (fingers crossed).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] onicas:
no issues here. 2013 32gb wifi edition. first thing i tested was multi touch using YAMTT like i saw in other tests. then tested GPS using multiple gps apps because that seemed to be linked to the problem.

firstly, it's no surprise a product of this caliber vs price is going to have some issues, but let it also be known most issues are being resolved with software update. think carefully before just saying this is a bad product and not getting one. i love it!

My N7 FHD 32GB that I bought from Best Buy yesterday was immaculate. No touch issues. No light bleed. Everything working within normal parameters. The best thing...it was an "open box" unit, so I saved $18 as it was marked $251.99. The sales manager said that someone working there (new guy) mistakenly opened the box. It was not used, or even taken out of the box but because the box was opened, they gave me the discount. I bought a ZAGG screen protector, and they installed it for free.

When I got home, I set it up, updated stuff, then I installed YAMTT and tried to recreate the touch screen errors I read about. Then I went into a dark room, opened a black image and checked for light leaks, and goofy pixels, etc., making sure the screen was A-OK. Wireless and bluetooth are all working ok. GPS, wifi and wireless charging are all functioning perfectly.

Maybe with all the posts that talk about getting crappy units, I began to get a bit paranoid. :eek: I feel like I got lucky. Don't know how common it is to get a N7FHD that is flawless, but I feel bad for people who got units that were less than perfect.

Now it's rooted with the WUGfresh Nexus Toolkit, and I'm working on customizing. :victory:

Mine works great. Only issue is that it sometimes registers double taps if my finger is at a certain angle which takes getting used to (in contrast, I can operate my s3 and tf700 just using the tip of my fingernail which drives the new nexus crazy). It's nothing major like the multi touch bug and hopefully it gets fixed in the following updates.

Got a new device since I was hoping for 0 dust particles and a flawless touchscreen controler.

I tried my luck twice in the store, the first replacement had 1 dust particle, I left it there and got another one to try at home since the technician was very busy. The second replacement has one barely noticeable dust particle but the touchscreen bug is there. The store only had some early batches 2013.07..

Well, now I have a even worse device in comparison to the batch I had replaced : 2013.08 , two dust particles but a perfect touchscreen controler, working out of the box. I´m not sure if I should try another replacement or live with this device until Asus builds better batches ?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wantabe:
Amazing how many of these new N7's have had touch issues. Pre-ordered mine through Best Buy and got it on 7/30/13. After rooting and flashing TWRP, going through the setup, downloading and configuring all of my apps then I notice a vertical section of the screen just off center that did not want to register long presses. I think my neighbors heard me cursing! Had to unroot, flash the stock recovery.img, factory reset then take my silly ass on down to the local Best Buy and get an exchange. It's all good now! :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
For your future reference, booting TWRP updates (because of the underlying kernel, not something TWRP is specifically doing) your touchscreen software to JSS15J or JSS15Q levels depending on which version you use.

Some people have found the JSS15J and/or JSS15Q touchscreen software introduces dead bands, dead spots, stuck presses, etc.

So your first unit might actually have had a reasonably working touchscreen and it only went bad after you booted twrp the first time. After your touchscreen software is updated to a newer version, it won't go back to an older version just by restoring your older kernel/ROM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wantabe:
By no means do I know enough to intelligently respond to your comment!!! I do know that after flashing the stock recovery back and doing a factory reset the touch screen issue was still there. I vaguely remember having some misfires when trying to move the stock play store widgets off the screen and trying to move icons around before I rooted it and flashed TWRP. At first I just blew it off thinking that maybe the pixel density was making the target area smaller or something. When the first N7 was powered up it right away did an update then after it booted up it downloaded another. I'm sure I did a reboot after all that before rooting and installing TWRP. The second N7 was updated, rooted, TWRP installed, all on the same day as the first one with no issues. So... all I can say is what a pain!

Just realized you might have thought I had flashed a kernel, in my previous post I did type boot.img when I meant recovery.img, after I realized my mistake I edited my post, probably when you were commenting on what I said earlier. Sorry about that!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hackel:
My 32GB Nexus 7 ran perfectly for over a month after I got it. Now, dust over the last couple days, I've started getting constant reboots! Seems like it reboots itself just about every time I set it down for a while and the screen shuts off on it's own. Can't think of anything I've changed, or even new apps I've installed. I haven't even gotten around to rooting the device yet! Needless to say, this is a frustration. I really wanted yo be able to raise my hand here!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ascarda:
me too
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
No, I got what you were saying.

There is a kernel used to boot your ROM (boot.img)

Recoveries also include a kernel implicitly.

I was talking about the kernel implicit in TWRP (and any recovery)

No flashing is necessary. If you just boot (or flash then boot) into the recovery the kernel included will check the touchscreen software version and upgrade if it has a newer one than you have installed. It will not downgrade, nor will factory reset get you your old touchscreen software back.

If you ever encounter an issue with your touchscreen in the future, see this thread for a possible solution:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] wantabe:
That makes perfect sense! When I received the first 2013 N7 (end of July) I don't think there were any real solutions to the touchscreen problems, not that I bothered to do any research. I drive a big truck over the road and had to leave the next day and go terrorize the streets. I will read through this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428133 and bookmark it for future reference. Right now everything is good and hopefully stays that way. Appreciate your insight!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kisrita:
I have not noticed any issues with my 16gb model so far, but have only had it for 5 days and haven't really tested the gps yet. Battery is FAR better than my Note 8. No screen freezes, unlike my Note 8. Seems about equally responsive, though I haven't used it enough yet to judge. Screen looks great and b love how sharp text is, but colors are better on the Note 8.

Edit: I think I have the GPS issue. I lost GPS lock twice during today's 2 hour drive. Had to reboot each time to make it functional. Never had it happen consistently like that on 5 other android devices I have used GPS on in the past, so I suspect it is a real issue, not just a fluke.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] SmarkWOW:
I posted a similar response in the "bad Nexus" thread. I bought a 16GB on the pre-release day, used it heavily for two days, absolutely no issues. Return it and bought a 32GB since I wanted more space, used it extremely heavily for about 3 days (bluetooth, playing games, custom roms, etc) and then have been using it probably on the higher side of moderate since probably a week after the Staples/BestBuy early release. No issues at all. I've definitely put it through it's paces.

Well, if I never used GPS other than for Google Maps and I always held the tablet in my hand when using it, and never used chrome, then I'd have no issues either.

Unfortunately I do those things so 4 of 5 units had issues.

The GPS "issues" stopped after I stopped using every GPS except Google Maps.

The random reboot "issues" stopped after I stopped using Chrome.

The multi-touch "issues" don't happen if I hold the unit in my hand (rather than placing on table)
