11 works for me

Thank you. ts11 seems to work for me. Hopefully it stays working well. Now if only the microphone was working properly I'd have the tablet I paid for in the first place.

Finally started get the ghost touches again. I plugged into the charger and immediately unplugged. Ghost touches gone. Definitely a grounding issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Is Google ever going to make an update to fix this? It seems like these fixes aren't a guarantee. My Nexus 7 2013 is so great with battery life too. But the touch sensitivity can get wonky depending on how I'm holding it.

Purchased from staples in december, price matched office Depot $189.99 with $20 gift card.

ts12 is possible?

Did u tried some ts in this thread? All the ts that everyone reported as fixed? U issue like mine anf everyone in this thread, if u just want to read web, comic' so don't need to use this' wait for GG fix it, but if u want to play game with N7 v2 especially on FPS, should try some ts to see how the good they are.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Red_81:
On ts10 right now. Ts20 was worse along with ts11. If my job would spare me some time I'll try out each one.

I've recently bought my Nexus 7 and was working fine up until last week when it started not registering all touches. I flased ts10 and now its working flawlessly!!! :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Do you think it would be a better idea to send this in to Asus first? What will they do to service it? Probably send me a refurbished unit without issues?

I am really tempted to apply the fix but I wish I purchased an extended warranty.

I always root on Verizon bc I have asurion. I don't want to be warranty less.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fuser-invent:
I sent it to them twice with a very specific note saying I tried all the stock firmware versions and I wanted a fix for the newest one for them not to just flash an older firmware but both times that is exactly what they did. They flashed and older version and just sent the tablet back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Craziness!

I would be absolutely livid if this was my primary device. I got it during a black Friday sale for 189 with a $20 gift card but I still feel entitled to have it function.

The rep who gave me the rma promised me they would be replacing the screen. I already told them doing a factory data reset and other versions of OS made no difference. I'm going to call back and make sure they aren't planning on skimping my repair.

So you're telling me two separate times you were returned a defective tablet? Did you ask for a new or refurbished replacement? I would not be satisfied.

So 4.3 works for you with no issues? It's made no difference on mine.

If it was my primary device I probably would have been angry too but I doing some minor development for Ainol Tablets, so I had like 3 or 4 other 7" ones and a 10" one at the time. I've owned 10 tablets, mostly Ainol, a Cube Mini and 2 HP Touchpads and they all had multi touch issues, so that didn't bother me as much. A couple of the Ainol Tabs also had ghost touch issues. None of them had the grounding issue though. When you get a device, especially one from ASUS and Google, it definitely should work very well out of the box.

Yes, two times I was sent back the same tablet with old firmware installed on it. The second time I did ask for a new tablet or refurbished tablet and they just sent mine back saying there was nothing wrong with it. I am not satisfied at all and although it probably won't make a huge difference, I've written a bunch of bad reviews about their service department and written them several times to complain.

Then I came back to this thread, installed ts11 and everything has been perfect for months now. No problems at all and 4.3 does work. I ended up flashing CyanogenMod and everything works great there as well. I'm now very happy with the tablet and if it worked like this right out of the box it would have been a much different experience.

fixed with GND fix

I There , guys i've been fighting a lot with this tablet , because of beeing very inresponsive with the latest update , i work with electronics but more into laptop area , i fix most of laptops i receive in my shop , and i have been studying a bit about the ground issues on the nexus 7 so i opened up mine , and made a few test with a anti static bracelet connected to ground of my lab , tablet simply work perfect , so after cheking schematics and pinnout on touchscreen , i arrive to a conclusion that fixed mine without having more hangs or stupid bad movements on the tablet ,

i will post pictures more later for you can see what was done .

the ribbon cable take comes from the digitizer , if you notice on the side edges you notice to small round , on the top and also on the bottom , the bottom one , touch a bit on the ground trace of the motherboard , but barely , i changed the 2 under screws , by one with a bigger "head"just big enough to the riboon ttouchs does screw on the little _GND holes on the riboon cable . on the top one , soldered one microwire on each GND dot , and soldered to the little clamps all over the motherboard (clamps that will touch the back case to help with the GND issue , so i lifted also all does little clamps for they can be a bit more up and make more pressure onto this back cover , and the wires that i soldered to does DOT's on the ribbon on the touchpad i soldered them to does clamps , after cleaning well all contact on the back cover , closed my tablet , and i can garante you something , my tablet changed is behavior frmo the night to the day , now i can play and make all multitouch issues without problem , even having 5 fingers on the tablet , recognizing them all all following my fingers position , is now working like this for 2 days now , before , when i start the tablet after like 20 min , i was allready driving nuts with this , but now , well happy for having back my nexus 7 like he was when i bought it :D

for does who dont have a steady hand and pratice on soldering , i advise to take it to somebody with competence to do that work .later i'll post the fotos for you can chek what was done .

No phantom touches since I flashed ts11. Hope it stays like this!

Never had multi touch issues, just phantom touches and unresponsive touches(?). Got really pissed off when Google now was constantly popping up even if I wasn't swiping up from the bottom or even close to the bottom :)

Thanks a bunch!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
I had a feeling they would try some shady stuff like that. I just really am nervous. Seeing as how I pay for phone insurance I'm able to mod my phone as I please. Tablet, not so much.

I guess the price I paid isn't that much to risk damaging it.

I shouldve gotten an extended warranty from another company. I am going to staples tomorrow. If they have a Nexus 7 2013 in that works perfectly I might buy it.

Then what do you think would happen if I tried returning my defective unit pretending it's the new one? I know Asus knows I'm registered to a specific serial number.

I mean honestly the problem only bothers me 50% of the time when I'm typing. But now that my job is BYOD I kinda need to type on forms part of the day.

This is effing BS. They need to replace all these defective units immediately with either new or refurbished tablets. Sigh.

I sent my n7 to Asus for touch issues. They lost it for 3 weeks, took 2 weeks to "fix" it. It came back with the same issues. I just flashed ts10. Seems OK now. Need more time to test it. My issue was it wasn't registering a lot of touches while the tab was laying down(or just not being held) very strange issue because as soon as I picked it up it worked just fine. Turning the screen off and back on fixed it temporarily. A reboot worked for a little while too. I am now totally turned off of Asus products.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fuser-invent:
I felt the same way for a while after dealing with the service center but the I realized how many ASUS products I have that work great. All monitors or computer hardware though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Harmtan2:
Thank you so much for your effort! absolutely phenomenal results using the ts11, I can't thank you enough for what you've done man.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] gr8twhite:
Was using ts-10 on jellybean for months no issues.

Updated to kit Kat and phantom touch started back up again.

Reflashed ts-10, no joy. Ts-11, no joy.

Flashed ts-20 and all good again. Been a week now with no reoccurrence. Touch function seems a little "deader" though. Almost like it needs a firmer touch/press sometimes. Still much less aggravating than ghost touches.

Many thanks to the developer.

:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] WheresTrent:
Mine has been getting worse - up until now, it was random unresponsiveness, usually fixed by a reboot. This afternoon, it randomly started registering many phantom touches, so it took me a minute or two to actually get the tablet to power off.

I won mine through the KitKat contest, so my warranty is good, but reading everyone's stories about their warranty service has me thinking I may need to finally crack and root my device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dimcreed22:
i sended mine like a week ago and they said they gonna change the motherboard and i wait it to be fixed. I Had the grounded issue ,it was kinda fixed with TS11 but i had warranty for 1 year and i thought its ASUS fault in first place so they need to fixed it not me
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Cuzz1369:
RMA from the play store is great. Don't send it to Asus though. Google should just send you a new one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Alright. Sorry for all the constant complaining. This isn't really a thread for complaints so I apologize for that. I went ahead and unlocked and rooted. I tried ts10. No change. Ts11 on the other hand is much better. This was very simple to do.

Now my question to everyone is, those of you that have "cured" this issue with the TS fix, if you download Nexus 7 Tester, do you still have issues with multitouch?

Anyway, google maps is so much better. I can zoom in and out now. I haven't had a chance to do much typing, so I will report back with that later.

Who do we donate to for this fix?

I was nervous at first but really the process is so easy! And it works! I tried ts10 and saw no difference. And after reading all the remarks I just downloaded all of them. Even the experimental. And low and behold, my tablet is awesome!

I fixed mine with TS10 since first released and I just wonder if I update newer bootloader, Fix still work or I have to flash it again?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mdamaged:
No, you do not need to flash it again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The Gingerbread Man:
Just to clarify, I read someome said this wiped their device when changing the touch screen drivers. Presumably they didn't already unlock the boot loader already. On a rooted and unlocked device flashing these packages shouldn't wipe anything?

My only issue is sometimes on doomGLES (classic doom FPS) I find the left side of the screen (responsible for movement) will behave oddly making me face completely different than I expect to be. Its only this one app that behaves odd and iv not heard of single apps which make the screen have or weird touch screen issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] niscrulez:
After few reboots, touchscreens became much better. No more ghost touches but it gets unresponsive some times. Should I try TS20 or TS11?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Ts11!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mdamaged:
Yeah, I had luck with ts20, but everyone might be different, so it can be trial and error.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
Does the new GPU drivers found in a new thread in the general section improve the touchscreen problem?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] abemore:
OMG... ts10 made such a difference! It's like night and day! Finally, the touchscreen that's been driving me crazy is fixed and perfect!

I cant click the Thanks button hard enough. THANKS sfhub!!!

Edit: On second thought, I think the drastic change was due to the reboot. The touchscreen always behaves better after a reboot. It may have also been due to holding the tablet in my hand after updating and not holding it in my hand before updating. Holding it tends to fix it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pamdemonia:
First, I unlocked my bootloader. Besides the inevitable melancholy that comes from a freshly reset device, it went well. Except that now my screen was an absolute nightmare of ghost touches, etc. Time to reboot into the boot loader and apply the fix.

And hey presto, I'm up a creek! Basically, none of the USB cables I have seem to be working at all. I send the proper command to my tablet, and nothing happens. I let it sit for a while, then unplug the USB cable and eventually have to shut down adb with ctrl-c, while restarting my n7 by holding down the power button for forever. So I try many variations on a theme, but suffice to say never get further than the initial boot loader screen.

BUT, even though I haven't used your fix, my multi touch is about 896% better. Weird, no?

Thanks (I think),

Pam

Total unresponsive touchscreen

Recently bought my n7 during the Christmas holidays and all was working at first. A month after the touchscreen screen issues arose where I would get ghost touches and the what not. I did the ts fixes (ts 10, 20, 30 and all the experimental ones) and had an improvement but still not the way it was when I bought the tablet. I even went back to the stock driver but still no good. One day, while messing with the touch screen, all seemed to be working. I could swipe and zoom in and out without any problems. Unfortunately, this lasted for almost a week when the problems occurred again. I did a hard reset of the tablet to see if it would fix anything.

It booted up and greeted me with the welcome screen but the touch screen does not react AT ALL to my touches. I rebooted many times but the touch screen was still unresponsive. I've tried many fixes (including opening and checking if the touchscreen cable was connected properly). I then decided to send it to an ASUS service center for any solutions. They had my tablet for about 3 weeks when they've decided that the didn't know what the problem was and said they would not be offering to fix anything under the warranty. They've since sent it back with the touch screen still unresponsive.

This Nexus 7 2013 is my first Android device and i really like it. I really don't know what to do and I'm hoping if anyone can offer any solutions. :crying:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Factory reset it and sell it on swappa.com or eBay. Wash your hands of the situation.

Or, keep calling and calling until they agree to replace it.

Look for Asus corporate email and explain the story to them.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mdamaged:
Right. These should not in any way wipe your device. If someone reported that it did, they must have done it themselves, either by oem unlock, or there is a language issue, and they actually FLASHED these instead of booting them and bootlooped their device, and had to start fresh.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Urukusaki:
I've actually sent them to repair my tablet twice, and it's been the same response. They don't know what the problem is and says that more than likely it's the fault of the user. They have refused to replace the tablet.

Anyways, I did the factory reset once more the other day (seems like the guys at the service center installed a custom rom for whatever reason). Rebooted and got some slight response whenever trying to work with the touchscreen. Minutes after, it was completely unresponsive again. The next day, I installed ts11 using the adb tool on the tablet and after a couple of reboots, it started to responded again. It's been working like how it's supposed to be working :D

UPDATE: After 2 days, the touchscreen has become glitchy again. Don't know what is the issue at the heart of this, but I'm going to try and experiment again with the other ts drivers and see if it fixes anything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jfriend33:
Could you please go to settings, about, and take a screen shot. I'm curious to see what software they have running on your tablet.

I have read very few cases where the fix didn't hold. Maybe a different computer and try making sure you're on the same build as me would make a difference.

Again, I think if after you've tried that, and it still goes back to having issues, get it listed to sell and cut your losses. If you feel you have given it your best shot with customer service that is. Try social networking. I always see comcast and Motorola reaching out to users with issues offering extra support.

I know when I called support they acted like they could see my tablet was not yet rooted. And they were sometimes very difficult to understand.

Good luck.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Red_81:
The reason it gets glitchy again is because of built up static charge. Try popping it on the charger for a few minutes. You should see it improve again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Urukusaki:
Yeah I popped in the charger, and it started to respond again. However, it's become completely unresponsive again. Tried flashing ts10, ts20 and ts30 and the original driver again, but still nothing.

[MENTION=3028512]jfriend33[/MENTION] I can't take a screenshot of the settings screen since I can no longer get into the tablet. I don't know which version they had on it but I completely wiped/flashed it some days ago to get it running back on stock Kitkat. Your suggestion of selling it could be a last resort. If so, where do you suggest are the best places to sell it? On ebay perhaps? Would anyone want to buy a malfunctioning tablet? And if, how much could I sell it for. My N7 2013 is fairly new.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ddurandd:
I tried all variants of the boot-ts fix but unfortunately had no luck. I keep getting the ghost touches. I called ASUS yesterday and got an RMA and shipped it off. I'm not optimistic based on other posts, but don't know what else to try. :(

Where is my rope again?

[QU[*]boot-ts10-lock.img

[*]boot-ts20-lock.img

[*]boot-ts30-lock.img

[*]boot-ts-unlock.img

[/LIST]

the ts10, ts20, and ts30 packages handle 3 variances on the touchscreen

You basically try each one to see which works best for your particular touchscreen.

Once you find one (and hopefully you do) then it is locked in place so future updates won't mess up your touchscreen again. No more OTA performance anxiety.

Now let's say there is an update in the future which has touchscreen fixes you want to use, that is where the 4th package comes into play. Once you use the ts-unlock image, you will once again be using touchscreen updates from the manufacturer. If that update doesn't work out, you can go back and use the ts10/20/30 package that was working for you.

Ok, so how does all this work?

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone with these issues have screen proctors on the device? Or in a case with magnetic closure? Also if I wipe down my screen( (like with my forearm up n down). Or is this device driving me insane?) strangely enough it makes it work better sometimes. I don't have a screen protector and was wondering if there is any benefit to operation with it in place.. Over sensitivity?

Oh and what's with not having any arrows. I kinda hate it already.
