Touch screen

Is anyone else having problems with the touch screen? I don't want to interrupt this thread for my issue if not.

All of the sudden, yesterday, my screen stopped responding to touches. If I turn the screen off then on again it will work again. But then the problem happens again shortly later. Then last night it started to register phantom touches (I turned on "Show Touches" in the developer options)- I was reading in different apps and the screen registered a touch on the the home or back button- obviously interrupting what U was doing.

Thanks.

EDIT

I've of course been searching Google and XDA about this issue. I've found a few videos and some posts. And it appears that this was an issue when the N7 was first launched. It's strange that I'm only now seeing this after 3 years of use. I'm trying this solution. I'll post a brief update in a day with results.

I initially posted on this thread because I found some posts discussing the possibility of it being a Rom issue. Apparently not. I'd still be interested to hear if others have faced this and how they solved it. So as to not take this thread off track, if you'd like to share your experience with, would you mind sending me a PM?

Thanks again!

Edit #2

This seems to have solved most of the issue. The screen is responding to all of my touches now. No need to cycle the screen on and off. However, two issues still remain. I get double taps in the lower left of the screen in the navigation bar, on the back button. And it is impossible to slide on the keyboard due to phantom touches there as well. But single key typing is working.

Looks like nobody has listened, I have reported back about ghost touch a while back.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] canodroid15:
I've heard of the ghost touch issue on grouper several times over the years. Some get it some don't. I personally have yet to see it on mine (knocking on wood) only issue I have with mine is the USB port is super loose & its hard to charge it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cameraddict:
My girlfriends n7 has a loose USB port as well. I thought about replacing the port, but instead glued a small piece of thin carboard in the bottom of the port and wrapped it around the outdside and bottom of the table (so the plug slides in smoothly). It made the usb connection very snug. Now her's charges normally again.

Yeah, My N7 JUST developed this. I'm rather upset by it. OCTOS had made the tablet usable again. Now I can only consume media on it. I can't write anything.. I used to write on it all the time.

As a further bit of info. It is indeed a hardware issue. The problem on mine is only affecting a 1/4" wide vertical section of screen that is just to the left of center. The problem presnets itself as two touches 1/4" apart from each other when I'm only using one finger. It makes it almost inpossible to reliably press the C or R keys. And it IS impossible to slide a word out. Also, I can no longer use TWRP becuase the screen stops sliding at this spot. So I can't backup, wipe, install... nadda.

I've had it since about July 2013. I guess three years ain't so bad. But, it's time to look for a new device.

I may lurk around these parts for a while longer, as I probably won't replace it until mid-summer.

Thanks for all your teams hard work!

Peace.

I figured out the issue with my touch screen...... Sigh

I damaged the ribbon cable running from the touch screen to the motherboard when I opened the case last week. DOH! I have a temporary fix for the moment. But I think I'm eventually headed to the arms of a used Samsung Tab Pro 8.4.

Just thought I'd pass along my discovery. So the lesson here is: Don't open the case unless you absolutely have to. And if you do, be very careful around the middle third of the left side of the case (left with screen facing you). This is where the insanely delicate cable is located.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cjkacz:
Guys grouper has been giving us some issues and we have yet to figure out the problem. Hence, no weekly posted. Dont worry we aren't giving up in this old girl just yet!

How can I dirty flash this? Every time I flash it, my gapps go away then I flash gaps o get force closes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cjkacz:
You shouldn't dirty flash. Clean is always the best. BUT If you insist on attempting it I would do as follows. Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache, flash rom, flash gapps and reboot. But rememebr , if you have issues even after that do not report them. Try a clean flash instead

Hi, I've just clean installed the latest weekly ROM and Pico GAPPS (since the Nano GAPPS come up with the error that there's no room) and I'm missing the app drawer icon in the dock. I've been through the settings in the launcher and haven't found anywhere to re-enable it. I've also tried clearing the launcher data to set it back to default, still nothing. In the launcher settings there is a Drawer section but nowhere can I find a spot to enable the app drawer icon. I noticed something odd when I first installed the ROM (and cleared the data) though. There are two Contacts icons in the dock. Anyone else having this issue? Before anyone recommends installing a launcher, I know I can install a different launcher but that's not the fix I'm looking for.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nycelitemaster:
I had the same issue, but I installed Nova, and it came back. Set the launcher as default from setting > home. I believe that fixes it. If not install Nova
[Nexus 7 Android Development] canodroid15:
What happens exactly? You'll have to provide a log or logs for anyone to be able to help you. I suggest sys log from the play store. Power off tab, wait a few mins. Turn it back on & reproduce your issue. Then open up sys log & take logs. It'll automatically give you options to send them. E-mail the logs to teamoctos@gmail.com.

We are getting reports that this week's builds are having issues with the home button not working properly. We are looking into it. ﻿
[Nexus 7 Android Development] That Guy In The Corner:
I'm having a few problems on my Nexus 7 (2012)

My home screen does not have an 'app drawer' button, so I am having to use a third party home.

I'm also having the issue where the home button doesn't function at all, but that was already reported.

But strangest of all, every video thumbnail is corrupt, showing all purple and green. The videos themselves work fine.

This is both in the gallery and file managers.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cjkacz:
Home button fixed in upcoming weekly
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cjkacz:
FYI we are in the process of slimming down grouper. We realize that the system size is significantly limiting the size of the gapps that can be flashed. One thing we will have to remove is Gello browser. It takes up 48 MBs of space as opposed to the stock browser which is like 2.5. Sorry for the inconveniences but those who enjoy use of the apk can install it manually as I am sure there are stand alone offerings within xda
[Nexus 7 Android Development] abhifx:
Thats good to hear.. but i guess grouper people already prefer minimal gapps package. Still a very considerate move. :)

So... Its been awhile. Our final Marshmallow release build is now available on our website!

OCT-M R3 final release https://www.teamoctos.com/release-builds/

Going forward we'll be working on Oct-N. I know a lot of you are still on M & curious about N & when your device will see it.With Oct-N we've moved back to an AOSP base. We're working on getting an AOSP-CAF branch so that we can bring our legacy devices up to N. This will take some time & some devices may not make the cut. We appreciate your patience as we work on bringing Oct-N to as many legacy devices as possible. Thank you all for your support, Stay tuned! ??

Hello everyone,

I just installed the most recent version R3, but I can not install a nano Gapps of 02/11/2016, it marks me "insufficient space", how to install Gapps?

thank you in advance

edit :

Problem solved, take the Gapps PICO;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Was it a Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP - Manually Wipe System - Data and Caches? If you didn't... You definitely should.

Nano will never work - it's just too big.

Deleting some pictures / music may help.
