My screen separation fix

as it turned out that the plastic cover is the one who is the main factor for holding the left screen that we are all having issues.
check out what i found. at the pics locate the one that has hole. you need to push that away using your fingernail. then line and latch the cover. snap-in first the left side and you should be able to hear a click sound. then you can all the way close the cover. your screen now should be flat with the silver frame.
good luck!

Can anyone else confirm this? Sounds very interesting but I don't want to risk damaging anything as my local store have said they will replace mine when they get stock back. Would save me some hassle if this solves it.

I think I see. Any chance of a better picture?

Keeping the black clean

I didn't believe those that said smudges would be problem on this phone, but it definitely is. To top it off, grit is stuck in some of my speaker holes and I've no idea of how to get it out. It sticks out like a sore thumb when the phone is clean...

Damn that sucks mine has stayed clean for the most part, I don't know what I would do either if mine got like that..The speaker holes are sooo tiny very difficult to get clean..

I find the black quite hard to keep clean aswell I use alcohol and a cloth to combat the grease but I'm a little OCD

I have a xtreme full body kit on mine. Completely clear and has 100% clarity. You can't tell there is anything on the front or back. Takes a simple wipe of the phone with a cloth and it shines like new. No case needed.

I just installed xtremegaurd front and back. U can definately tell it's there(as far as the feel). I'm thinking about taking the screen protector off. The back I will leave because I am waiting on my atmosphere case which has a clear back to it so I still can see the back and not worry about debris getting behind and rubbing on the anodization.

moisture on screen

Hi guys, i got a nexus 7 around september last year..everything was great until i started getting ghost touches here and there...the tablet would start acting on it's own, swiping around home screens, randomly opening apps and stuff.. so i rang up Asus and ask for a replacement unit...the new unit seems to be fine but yesterday there ghost touches were back again.. then i noticed that the moisture on the screen is actually the one causing the random touches... i downloaded multitouch test from the play store, and put a few small drops of water on a certain part of the screen, and the app actually detects touches on that part of the screen... i think somehow the drops of water are putting pressure on the screen and causing the screen to detect the pressure as touches? is this a manufacture flaw by Asus? it's really bugging me and i hope I'm not the only one experiencing this...

Its not pressure, nor is it a defect. It happens on all capacitive screens like the N7. What is water? It's is a great conductor. Your fingers do the same thing.

May due to a better digitizer on the gnex as the Nexus 7 came with a lower cost.
In digitizer there is something like a noise management system and seem like the higher cost products has a better management for example I has never has a problem with a moisture on the iPad screen but I do has with my N7.

the weird thing is that ever time i won't face this problem for the first few months..but once i encountered it the first time, i keep getting the ghost touches almost everyday...seems like the digitizer is getting worst day by day...

Distilled water is a bad conductor. But tap water and non-distilled bottled water are great conductors.

Yes, I know this. It's not the water itself that is conductive, it's the minerals and stuff in the water.

i may be missing something here......dont put water on your nexus?

Putting drops of water on the screen won't hurt the unit. Well... As long as you don't let it into the bezel.

Noise management has an important software/microcode component. I do not see the N7 as being low quality but input and signal management are far from optimal - IMHO.

It's a conspiracy. The NSA is remote-controlling your Nexus devices.
Be warned, and be careful.

How did you get asus to give you a new unit? I still can't get them to remove a scratch on the screen.

I'm admittedly not fully convinced it's not an environmental problem on your end. It gets pretty humid over here, but moving in and out of climate-controlled conditions has yet to cause moisture to appear on my screen. Are you sure you don't have any dust/grit etc. on your screen? That can help water coalesce/probably improves conductivity of any moisture that does appear.

Unless you documented that the scratch was there as soon as it came out of the box, I can't see any customer service department making it easy to exchange a device for a scratch (because no offense, but it's almost always the user's fault, so they're going ot be pretty skeptical no matter what you say).

Any scratches or chips yet?

Hate to say it but today I dropped my one chipped the two top corners but only the metal. It really was my fault for taking the case off but was surprised to see it didn't take much damage. But anyways how is your HTC one doing condition wise?

The first mark is always the worst. I have yet to do any damage to my phone.... fingers crossed

I agree, the first damage will be the worst, but you won't mind 'em after that.
I think, after a little while, all the tiny chips and nicks and stains and scratches will give the phone a badass, battle-scarred look, because it's aluminum and all. That's just my opinion though.

As nice as the phone looks I put it in a case the day I got it knowing that I'm prone to dropping it

Mine slid off my lap onto my parents driveway during a bbq. A few scuffs on the back that really bug me. It's now in a commuter case which hides and protects it so the marks are hidden... But I know they are there

I actually have the tiniest of dents in the aluminium on the back. Not sure when it happened. Its barely noticable but can be felt distinctly with a finger. Sad day

Welp broke the screen on my second phone now. Man if you drop these phones on the corner, the screen Is guaranteed to break. Anyone else have a similar experience? I do have a case on these phones by the way.

ive been lucky, dropped mine a few times and its still good, case is pretty beat up but rather it be beat up than the phone.

That sucks man! I guess I have a good case, I've dropped mine a bunch.....first few times I kinda freaked, now nothing happens, and I pick it up! Sorry for your loss.

actually no not at all.. dropped this guy many many times and have a couple chips in the metal but the screen is fine. Even the other day im running on a tredmill and flap my headphone wire with my arms as im running.. it fell on the belt i kicked it and it still was fine.
hahah

I have a Otterbox Commuter on mine, and it has seen the concrete floor at work several times without consequence. Invest in a better case.

I spilled bong water on mines and my girl scratched it a little with my keys over top speaker other than that no drop damage and trust it's seen it's fair share. #TOUGH

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.

I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone
