FFFFFUUUUU!

Another one bites the dust. :mad:

After me thinking mine was perfect, it's got a screen fault. Weird one, only happens in landscape mode and doesn't occur in every app. Basically when I grip the tab with my left thumb in an area just below the bottom left hand corner of the screen, it disables touch input to the screen. Great. And the buyer of ecstasy where I bought it isn't expecting delivery until 10th August.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahahahahaahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

OWNED! :D That's for mocking me. :p

But that does suck, their seems to be a lot of touchscreen issues. :(

I got one of the first units & mine is A1 - So not all, as you state.

I'd recommend anyone who's got one of these to download Multitouch Test and make sure they don't have the same problem I do. Not apparent in Chrome which is probably why I never picked it up immediately, if indeed the fault has not developed since initial purchase.
 
I've no idea, it would depend on the cause of it and either way, I am not sure I particularly wish to wait on a software fix that may or may not solve the issue at some point in the undefined future.

True that.

I may decide to hold out... again. :D

Someone from XDA Forums.

Nexus 7 #1 (8GB) Play Store - 4 dead pixles (3 on upper right and 1 center)

Nexus 7 #2 (8GB) Play Store - loose screen glass on bottom left and right

Nexus 7 #3 (16GB) Sam's Club - straight line of dead pixels from left to right

Nexus 7 #4 (16GB) Sam's Club - spongy screen glass sticking up 1mm

Nexus 7 #5 (16GB) Game Stop - broken USB connector, can't be charged

(all of the above five were returned for refund)

Nexus 7 #6 (16GB) Play Store - very slight spongy glass, but I'm giving up and accepting it as it

Couldn't that be corrected with a software fix though?

When I briefly had a HTC One X (of the 6 I went through, I noticed it on two of them), it too suffered from screen flickering issues, and if I remember correctly it was down to Tegra drivers not being properly optimised or something. I'm not sure if it ever got sorted, but I imagine it would have done.

Lmao what an absolute sham.
 
Overall mine has been great except this weird bug i get where the screen seems to go black ingame after a while. It was doing it in "shoot the apple" yesterday and was very annoying :p it only does it ingame, not even in the menu's :mad:

Then i loaded it up a few hours later and it was fine but eventually it did it again. Might be a problem with that specific game..

I had an issue with mine from Tesco. Had the screen washout, almost like the contrast had been truned up and ghosting.

Finally got hold of them yesterdya having ordered it thursday, got a replacement coming tommorow.
The contrast things happened to me once or twice, but its more like some setting that applies in 3d apps and it doesn't return to normal straight away, but does after loading another app. I'm assuming its a software fault tbh...
 
Am I missing something with the multitouch?
Everyone reports multi touch problems with every device within a week of launch.
My old desire had the issue, but it never impacted anything I did on it....are people just being pedantic?
