hey guys i have this tablet since mid October and in the begining it worked perfectly fine and then i updated to latest 4.3 (via the official files from google) and then some multi touch issues came up and then i restarted it and everything worked flawlessly but then i installed this DOUBLE TAP to wake mod from here and saw that multitouch came back and then i cleaned it and then i updated it to 4.4.2 and now i have the MULTI-TOUCH issue and also the GHOST TOUCH issue and it's fraustating i know it is not the hardware problem cause i worked with it for a month in 4.3 without any issue!

so my problem is that should i install these and are they compatible with 4.4.2 and wha are the odds that it may broke it or fix it?!

any help would be appreciated !

It is the third time I send my nexus 7 for service. This time asus even says there are no multi touch issues, which can actually be easily detected! And that really pisses me off. So that's how a company manages to deal with problems: if you cannot solve it, you ignore it, or refuse to admit it, and then problem solved. I was so stupid that I still had hope for any fix from asus. I can bear those issues, but never ever accept how badly they treat their customers. Well done! now go fxxk yourself, asus! I'm done with you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zainadeel:
Thank you so much!!!

I recently rooted my tablet and just remembered this thread. When i bought my tablet the first thing i did was run a touchscreen test app to see if it had any multitouch problems. And it had none! i was really happy. Its perfect. No speaker buzz no nothing. Just a single stuck pixel but nothing else.

When Kitkat came out it ruined my touchscreen!!!.. the response was better but only when i was holding it. When i put it down it would register only 50% of the touches.

So i recently remembered this thread and thought of giving it a try. As my tablet is from the first few batches i tried ts10 first and guess what?

IT HAS TOTALLY FIXED THE TOUCHSCREEN!. multi touch triple touch single touch. on the bed. on the desk. in my hand! ITS PERFECT!! just like it was on 4.3 when i got it!!!!! :D :D :D

You have no idea how much this means to me! thank you so so so so much!!! I seriously LOVE U FOR THIS! U have no idea! THANK U SO MUCH! ..

and i registered just to say this! :)

Forgive a newbie

I have a 2013 Nexus 7 that is running ASOP 4.4 TWRP recovery but is missing alot of touches. I downloaded the fix and extracted the files and started TWRP. when I try to flash the files I can not see the files in TWRP. I must be doung something wrong. can I please get a dumved down version of the instructions. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your hard work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mdamaged:
Use the method in the OP, you need to use adb and fastboot. The img file(s) should be in the same directory as adb.exe and fastboot.exe for simplicity.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Pandae:
ts10 fixed my Nexus 7's touch sensitivity problems, but lately I've been having touch problems generated by an app. After playing Doodle Army (fun game) for a while, the controls will get unresponsive. After exiting, YAMTT shows that there are suddenly dead spots on the screen, and more than two touches don't register well. It's all cured with a reboot, after which YAMTT confirms that everything is fine again. If I start Doodle Army, the touch problems eventually return.

The game is probably just fine with most Nexus 7s, just like most Nexus 7s are fine. My unit is affected probably for the same reason that the other relative few have/had general touch problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] karandevilocs:
somebody please answer me?! i need to fix it ASAP!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes they are compatible with 4.4.2 and there is a pretty high chance that one of these files will fix your screen issues. Start with the main files (ts10,20,30). If none of those completely fix your issues then take the best out of the main 3 and try the experimental files close to it one by one. Make sure after you flash the file that you reboot a few times and let the file work out any kinks over some usage.

Hello.

So after reading almost 80 pages of this thread, i've tested with YAMTT and Multi-touch test my nexus 7 and a nexus 4. From I observed when testing, my nexus 4 has the same touch problems like the N7 (sticky touches, when touching the display with three fingers in a right angle it detects only 2 touches, when touching the display with four fingers in a rectangular shape it detects only 3 or 2 touches).

In regular use I did't observe any problems with the display, maybe when playing Fifa 14 but I think it was my fault not touching the onscreen buttons correctly :).

In conclusion I don't think just using these kind of programs is a relevant way to see if the touchscreen has a problem.

Problem with boot after flashing ts-unlock in kitkat

Does "ts-unlock" work with n7 2013 with kitkat new touch dirvers?

I used ts30, but i tried to return to default drivers (on kitkat 4.4.2 with elementalX kernel) and after boot I have only "google screen" with open bootloader symbol:D

Of course i tried boot several times, with the same result. Now I'm going to flash ts30 again, but what about return to stock touch driver in 4.4.2?.

EDIT:

Flashing ts30 made my device proper booting, but after second try with ts-unlock I have again google screen.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] astuermer:
Any help on this?

I rebooted several times, tried ts10/20/30, ... Every time I see only bouncing balls.

Only reflashing stock 4.4.2 kernel fixes this issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MrDuese:
Heyho,

i'm new to this Thread cause i am planning to buy an N7 (2013)

I am very confused if i should buy it or not, Touchscreen Problems seem to be a big problem but i just found out that its not just the new N7 which is affectet by this special problem.

A few minutes ago I tested the N7 2012 of my Girlfriend with yamtt and it shows similar reactions.

If held in hand no issues occur, even if the usb port is touched very slightly everything seems to be alright but in the moment it is lying on the bed or similar surface it starts to go crazy. 2 finger touch with a third "ghost"- touch, crossing axis (vertical and horizontal) without noticing any touch at all...

N7 (2012) is running KitKat 4.4.2, dont know if problems were present in the past but seems to be an overall problem with Tablets (maybe just Asus?)

In everyday use there was never ever a situation where i noticed this problem but yamtt shows it cleary !

The Cover which is used with the pad seems to function like a hand cause in the case everything is fine too.

Did someone notice this too ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] HoRRo:
Bone stock Nexus7 2013 here, I had touch issues after 4.4.2 update. Followed instructions to unlock bootloader and flash ts10. Flash behaviour appears to be perfect just on ts10, so I'm sticking with that one. Thank you OP!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zilliman:
Aha! Success at last. I followed the instructions above and have managed to reproduce the problem. At 90 degrees it fails to detect the third touch. But the tablet must be laid on the table or on the couch, if you are holding it in your hand then it works OK.

So there is a problem with my tablet too, which is still wrapped in its original cover! Time to go back to the shop for a full refund I hope.

It does not even do what I originally bought it for, ie to be able to make phone calls and use it as my phone + tablet in one.

I do not understand why so many people bought the Nexus 7. The only advantage that it might have would be the ability to make phone calls, because there are no other 7 inch tablets out there that can make calls + hi res screen + 4G.

But the LTE version which I have, does not make calls, at least not out of the box. So what is the point? It seems it is a badly made product that has multiple quality issues, the biggest being the screen.

On Amazon people also talk about the screen developing hair line cracks, almost invisible, but these cracks stop large sections of the screen from detecting touches, if not the whole screen and the only solution there is to replace the screen which costs more than the tablet!

No issues with touchscreen on 4.3

With 4.4.2 touchscreen issues galore.

ts10 has fixed the problem.

here's another happy feedback:

after buying a case for my N7-2 it suffered from the grounding bug, that made the touchscreen partly unresposive. ts10 solved the issues so far. thanks a thousand times!!!

the patch saved me from sending the N7 in and getting a worse one back ;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] suspktu:
I think you didn't read my post very carrefully. I said that those kind of problems (like when touching the display with 3 fingers in a right angle) occurs in other devices too, so they are not relevant when you say that your device has a touchscreen problem. If you have other problems like ghost touches or areas of the screen where the touch doesn't work's at all then, yes you have a N7 with problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Zilliman:
This morning I found out that I cannot type on it unless it is connected to the USB and/or am holding it. I was in bed and the tablet was next to me, I tried to reply to a post and realised I had to press the letters two/three times before it would work!

Here is the grounding issue again. These problems do not happen on other tablets, stop trying to make it seem as if all tablets are just as defective. I have a galaxy tab 10.1, a cheap chinese pipo m7n pro, two iphones 4, a samsung galaxy S3 and other smartphones - none, and I mean none suffer from any such kind of screen issues or other such serious issues.

The nexus 7 tablets are problematic end of story. Good luck with putting up with all the **** of the Nexus... Mine is already in the box and is going back to the shop for full refund.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm not sure exactly why you would think this but I've owned many many phones and tablets and they have never has multi touch issues. Bottom line is the n7 2013 is flawed and you equating that with"normal" is just plain wrong. Luckily we have amazing Devs and sfhub was able to find a way to fix the variances in the touchscreen. BTW not even all n7 2013 have this issue as I've had 3 and the first two had issues and now my third one has none.

Hey guys today morning I faced a weird touch screen issue scrolling on Facebook and other apps was so sluggish and touch screen was losing my touches many times.

After a reboot everything works fine.

Was this the sign that I have a problematic device or just a software glitch?

How can I check my device for being faulty?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] suspktu:
I'm not trying to start a dispute here about how good or bad is the display of N7 2013, I believe that many units have problems. But, like I said a couple of posts ago, I tested a N4 and a N7 with YAMTT and Multi-touch test, and both behave the same when I touch the display with 3 fingers in a right angle for example.

Beside that strange behaviour when testing with the two apps mentioned, I did't observed, by now, any problems with my N7. I don't know, maybe I was lucky and got a good unit or maybe in the future my touch will start to have problems too.

Mines the same way I have to connect through PTP not MTP lol. It's been this way on all my nexus devices. I have seen a fix around xda somewhere for that But never done it as I PTP works fine for what I need. Cheers and I'm glad you got it sorted out.

To get developer settings on your phone go to settings/about phone/tap on build number till it says you are now a developer/go back to settings and look for developer settings and check android debbuging. If u have any other questions u can pm me for help if u need it.

You need to place sfhubs files in the same folder as u have adb/fastboot in to get the command prompt to work.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Matrix_19:
You don't need to root ... Just unlock the device.

And no one can tell you if it's going to work because there are many patterns causing this issue ( and it is why there are many TS files variations available for testing)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fantasySensei:
where is the command prompt?

cant find the command prompt in boot-ts folder
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] animania260:
The command prompt is part of Windows, an internal DOS like prompt for manually entering commands. You won't find it in the boot-ts folder..

Hold Shift, then Right-Click in the unzipped boot-ts directory.

You will see "open command prompt here". Click that then follow the instructions in the OP, step-by-step, be careful and make sure you enter every command exactly as it shows in the OP.

If you flash the boot-ts files to system or other it won't be pretty.

-ts14 better then ts10 (i use now ts14)

all ts i tryed has been on device for 3-5 days !

ts14 first day it went crazy ,reboot and work fine last 4 days no ghost nothing .

i stil think is something with magnet(on the back and cover sleep magnet ) or static el. this thing remind me of iphone antenagate "you're holding the phone the wrong way"

for me ts14 is best ,

Good job, I have to say I'm very disappointed in how Google have handled this, but no worries.

I can't say I'll be using this, as my touchscreen problems are VERY occasional, like, once a day at most, usually not for a few days, and I'm quite happy to just restart my tablet to fix it each time.
