[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rmn6:
I have owned an original Nexus 7 since its inception. I have recommended it to everyone and I am responsible for several people purchasing them. However, when it comes to the 2013 model I have recommended to everyone NOT to purchase one for the obvious reasons.

It is difficult to understand why a company like Nexus is so reluctant to correct a known

problem with an otherwise fantastic product. A few people here have done all the work for Nexus and gone to the trouble of diagnosing the problem (grounding) and even correcting it on there devices, yet Nexus won't even admit there is a problem. I'm sure someone from Nexus monitors this site (or anywhere on the Internet for that matter) and they are completely aware of the problem. Why does a company go out of there way to create a device that appeals to people who love to work on them but when they receive valid feedback they ignore it.

For the individuals who believe there is nothing wrong you should be aware your screen should perform flawlessly (at least as well as the original 7) whether it is plugged in or not. You are doing a real dis-service when you say "sure it misses a few touches or has a few phantom touches its still better then most other devices". This might be true. But, would you accept a great car that occasionally when you turn the steering wheel it didn't respond or it randomly turned on its own.

The bottom line is the screen interface is DEFECTIVE. I wanted so badly to purchase a new one but, after 3 units all with the defect I'm not willing to void the warranty and fix it myself especially on a device that that the manufacturer won't even admit when there is a defect.

Nexus does not exist as a company.. They are licensed by Google and built by Asus.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Shrek77:
That is exactly how I feel. I have told people on here, Google, Youtube, and other sites who asked about the issues to get there money back. I personally had 2 that had each major issues. I loved it but it's issues made me very disappointed. I showed the associates each time I returned them what was wrong and they had no idea they had problems. You could tell by them trying it themselves they truly had no idea. How many owners except it, don't realize there is issues like children using them. It is such a shame that a company can make a product that honestly needs to be recalled but it just gets swept under a rug. I will not buy another one and I will never buy an ASUS product again. I am getting the hp slate 7 extreme and will be happy with the slightly lower resolution screen but the screen actually working as it should automatically makes it superior to the N713.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] z0phi3l:
I would have no issue recommending the current model to people, just because a vocal minority ate having issues does not mean the device is flawed, mine is perfect, bought the first weekend of availability, and used daily, so hard in that it's a perfect device, bit I would not actually day that
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mdamaged:
Perfect...except for that keyboard.

It's what I get for trying to post between calls at work, sue me
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Shrek77:
You say vocal minority. When in fact if you google it there are over 28 million results of screen touch issues. That is no minority. You say yours is perfect then download the screen test apps an run the tests and post videos of the results both in your hands and propped up in a case or laying flat on a couch cushion. If you get phantom touches or missed touches anywhere at anytime it is a defect. It would be exactly the same as going to buy a new car that wont go into drive once in a while. If yours has no issues then consider yourself a lottery winner!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Pandae:
Do you understand how search engines work? You simply cannot infer anything from such a search, which can bring up the same individual's multiple complaints across multiple forums, forum posts with "blank" instead of "problem" (because Google thinks it's a similar enough word), the same forum thread in regular as well as printer-friendly versions, and people saying, "no problem with this device."

A Google search for "Nexus 7 2013 screen problems" yields "About 96,100,000 results" for me. So what is that, 961,000 people complaining 100 times each? It surely isn't 9.61 million complaining 10 times each. This isn't to say there aren't units with problems, but do a Google search for your least-favorite politician's name along with "pedophile" and see what happens. Again, you simply cannot infer anything from such a search.

I've run test apps on mine, before and after. Initially my unit had poor sensitivity, alleviated by the ts10 file from this popular fix. Yes, I had to take a few minutes to do things that Google should have done, but in the end it can take less effort to make a quick fix yourself instead of waiting for someone else.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lionelia:
I do not have problem with normal use but when I display the test pattern I can see ghost touches or erratic touches.

I fact I think that is hardware problem, it look's like the digitiser A/D converter DC supply noisy (to low decoupling capacitors) or shielding/grounding issue.

The problem is that I was not abble to find any schematics to investigate more.

To be continued...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] datallboy:
The touch test in the play store is bogus. I bought my device the day it came out and have never had any touch problems. Only with the app, it starts jumping, and that app is the only time its showed something. Take a screenshot of any pattern, try it with the screenshot. Nothing happens.

I'm not saying that some devices don't have issues, but the numbers not as much as some claim. If you have problems, use the ts10 fix.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] AarSyl:
Try going to the Developer Options, and enable "Show Touches." That would show you if there are phantom touches or not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] datallboy:
I do have it enabled. The apps the only thing that produces phantom touches.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] AarSyl:
Have you tried this one? This is the one that I use, and I know that it isn't bogus.

The touches that are registered reflect the behavior of the tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tweaked:
Posting here does nothing for you. XDA isnt google. XDA isn't Asus. if you have a problem contact Asus and or google.. All this /waaa in a thread on a dev site is nothing but wasted kb.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] datallboy:
Nice app, no phantom touches.

People are being fooled with the Nexus 7 II Tester app in the play store. It has patterns which generate fake touches.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kingston73:
I agree. Also OP, if you really want a manufacturer to take you seriously you should probably do a bit more research before sending them a letter, you didn't even come close to getting the company's name correct as has already been said. Either google or asus, or both, but not 'nexus'.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Pandae:
Asus or Google wouldn't release any kind of schematics for their proprietary electronics. Try the fix in the thread I linked to. It seems there are hardware variances among new N7s, for which the right software patch can compensate.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] CrashTestDroid:
so true, this thread is a good laugh :)

I do hope OP posts his reply from the "Nexus" corporation when/if it ever happens lololol :D Posting with abysmal ignorance yet expecting to be taken seriously? Priceless. Or a troll. Hard to figure out which.

HMM... This is the first I have heard of any issues with the touch screen. Decided to root the fiance's Nexus so I can use a battery optimized kernel, looked around and seen these threads.

I wonder if that app truly is bogus... will it run on other devices? If so, lets try. Though it might do a device check to prevent trickery.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] David44010:
I am fairly new to the Android scene, and even newer to the rooting scene as well.

I am a A+ computer tech, that said I know nothing about Android, rooting or customizing the interface and am learning daily, I have been told by associates that the xda forums are the best resource for finding stable usable custom ROMs and information,

so I enrolled to pick some brains and hopefully learn a few things.

now since my ability to search forums has always has always been "top notch", (Pinocchio's nose got nothing on me by that statement), I'm sure I'll be asking questions that have been asked a bunch of times, I respectfully ask that in stead of flaming me, please just post a link to the proper forum post and I will be greatly appreciative.

question 1.

where do I find a rom install guide for idiots, primarily for a galaxy player 5.0 YP-G70

question 2.

what is the most stable and fully functional ROM for my YP-G70, when I say fully functional I mean camera and all, as I have been reading there are issues with newer ROMs with the back facing camera, and I need the camera to be fully functional as I use it almost daily at work for lables and assembly/disassemby pictures., I've heard that Cyanogenmod is one of the best out there, is there a fully functional and stable version that will work with my YP-G70?

question 3.

an idiots guide for what can be accomplished by rooting and how to do it, such as turning off adds, removing or moving stock programs and settings etc.

there will always be more questions but I won't push the noob envelope to much, these three are my most pressing

Reboot in recovery mode.

Delete data/cache

Choose install zip from sdcard.

Reboot.

I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2 (4.3.1) and I'm able to use the back camera via High-Speed Camera (there are probably other apps, but this is the one I'm using). I don't know if it works with the other ROMs (and I don't see why it wouldn't), so someone else will have to get back to you w/that one.

If you want to remove stock apps, then you can download Titanium Backup (or an app that's similar) and uninstall them that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
The short answer here is stick with stock. The rear facing camera has been a problem on every ROM, except stock based roms. There are some workarounds but If you need good quality photos from rear cam then stock based is your only solution...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] David44010:
Thank you both for the info and direction.

I know to keep something stock is to keep it original.... but what do you mean stock based? an original ROM that has been stripped but the core and drivers are the same?

and what stock based ROM would you recommend for my GP5.0 yp-g70 that might give me a little better performance and nice appearance?

also I haven't had a chance to explore all the information yet, but can someone give me a link to a good source of direction on how to use titanium backup, or some other app to back up my device, OS and apps so if I should get something not to my likeing I can revert back to original.

and thanks again for no flaming

Scroll down to "5.0 (stock based)"

"Stock based" simply means a modified stock ROM. "stock" sort of meaning; a ROM from the manufacturer. I haven't personally tried any of the stock based ROMS. They may have issues. Im only saying that it is the stock and stock based ROMS that have the potential to have a fully working rear cam. You have to read in each post to find out if there are issues.:)

So I noticed that there are some oem app differences between the two devices, mainly missing is the htc flashlight. I know there are other options but just wondering if anyone had ported this out other missing apps into one of their roms?

Another question is that I am wondering if anyone has tried using this on t mobile yet? I have the smaller htc one as well on tmo but want to swap my Verizon one max to it, however I was thinking that a tmo based rom port from the htc one would be ideal with tmo apps as well. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

Did anyone else just receive update notifications for more apps. Hp printing...?
[Moto X General] gtg465x:
HP Print Service Plugin has nothing to do with Verizon. HP partnered with Google to bundle their print plugin with Android to show off Android 4.4's new printing support. Even Nexus phones come with that.
[Moto X General] balleron24z:
I mean, if you want to classify something non-Verizon as bloatware, be my guest. But HP printing was included on 4.4 and above (as per previous poster says) and is not reliant on Verizon. Not being a ****, but it obviously doesn't say Verizon on it anywhere. If it were VZ Tones or "My Verizon" I'd understand frustration, but use your noggin' please......

And you can disable this and other bloat apps in the stock app settings without being rooted. They won't update anymore, either.

It looks like you may have a firmware problem as your bootloader and Radio are unknown from the device info you posted.

so suggest you safe everything (backup) on the phone, revert to gingerbread stock ROM to check camera , you can follow

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarige:
I haven't had a lot of time to do this lately, so I postponed it. I do have the time this weekend though. What if I create some kind of a complete rom backup (is Nandroid the right term for this?), then go back to stock to get the camera to work, then restore from the backup. Would that work? Or would that break the camera again?

And is there no tool to flash the camera firmware from a custom rom? Seems kinda weird that something like that doesn't exist :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
I'm no expert in reading and analysing logcats and knowing how camera firmwares work, but I don't think a Nandroid backup will fix it. Reason being is that a Nandroid backs up everything in the system as well as user data. So if the corrupt bootloader and radio are backed up and then restored, chances are it'll break the camera again.

But I don't know too much about this, so please correct me if I'm wrong :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Yes, the rule of the thump is , you should make backups, nandroid as well as with specific backup apps ( contacts, sms efs etc available in play store) as well as copy your entire SD card to PC, for salvaging.

When ever you have a problem, ( immaterial what it may be) best not to restore system, and data to a certain extent only, so salvaging is the best thing to do. you can even salvage from a nandroid backup with Nandroid browser & Nandroid manager apps . Including google backup and restore .

So make it as clean as possible, preferably format your SD card too ( move contents to PC First) than copy back music , images etc. by doing this you have a clean environment.

Better to start anew and copy back the needed data only.

If you want try camera fixes, yes just search XDA and you will find varying methods and information about it like this

I did now, I flashed the camera_fix.zip using CWM and then tried whether it worked. It didn't, so I did another firmware phone to cam write and reboot, and it still gives me the black screen. I've searched for hours to try different firmware .bin files and I haven't found any firmware which works.

What changed, however, is that before flashing the camera_fix.zip firmware to the cam I could check the firmware version and now when I try to do that it crashes. "process com.sec.android.app.camerafirmware" is the process that crashes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Basically a factory reset would normally solve this, from what you are conveying it looks like you may have a hardware issue, as a full ROM flash is unable to solve it. Cameras are pretty cheap in ebay, but do exhaust all other options, till you are sure about it.,

Thanks dude, I think I'll just give up and flash cm11 m3 now. I'm tired of spending hours of work into this. I'll consider buying a new camera on ebay. Not sure whether that's worth it though, I'll just see. Not like I use my camera often anyway. Thanks for the kindness, I appreciate the help :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platypoid:
ymporitoffice

I had a problem with my camera using CM11 After a lot of messing around I discovered that what caused it was having the Power Shutter option checked. But I could not even open the camera - it would crash every time. I was able to get the camera working again by using Titanium backup and then going to the camera app and deleting data . Then the camera would open up and work okay. I tested it by turning the Power Shutter back on and it made the camera crash. Deleted the data on Titanium and it worked again.

So not sure if this will help you - but if you do load CM11 avoid the Power Shutter option ! I would report this on their thread but I don't have enough posts yet.

Hope you get it figured out - I know I pulled my hair out trying to figure out how to fix mine .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarige:
Thanks for the input, it doesn't help me though. I was using CM10.2 and I'm only using CM11 as of last Sunday. This might help someone else though, so it's good that you mention it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
I have had exactly the same problems which you describe. I've gone back to stock (tried eclair and Gingerbread), I've tried flashing different camera firmwares, and I've bought a new camera module from ebay. Nothing worked. Gave up. :(

Front cam works fine, but main cam just FC's the gallery app.

Interestingly though I can pinpoint exactly when it happened. Phone was stock, I'd just been given it from a friend. Checked camera and it was working fine. Thought I'd factory reset the phone to remove my friends email accounts and any personal information so I did that... Rebooted phone and immediately noticed that the camera wasn't working, and since that moment never has...

So it seems to me that it must be a corrupt or deleted file (driver, etc)
