Nexus 7 Screen turns off when pressure applied while holding

When holding the Nexus 7 (portrait mode) and applying slight pressure on each side, the screen turns off and only returns when I remove the pressure. Am I the only one experiencing this?
I've uploaded a quick video demonstrating this:

P.S. it's not the screen issue that everyone else is talking about, is it?

Take off the back and try reseating any loose cables.

What would be the best tool to open it with? I don't have a flat screwdriver thin enough to open it up.

The first time I opened my Nexus, I used an insurance card. The second and subsequent times, I actually used a NYC metrocard.

I reported this problem to Google and they sent me a replacement which worked perfectly - however when I put it in my wallet it had the same problem. The original Nexus also worked perfectly out of the wallet. I determined that the problem was the autosleep sensor which is triggered by the magnet in the wallet cover when it is closed. However if the wallet cover is opened and folded flat behind the Nexus the magnet is close to the sensor but at the back of the Nexus; since the magnet is still pretty close to the sensor it is triggered when the lower left of the screen is pressed (where the sensor is).
The solution for my wallet was to fold the cover into a triangle using the folds - this also makes the wallet easier to hold.
I still very occasionally get the problem when I move the magnet so I think that the sensor is a bit too sensitive.

You're exactly right!
I noticed just minutes ago the screen turning off immediately after I put down the device. It did this several times w/o a "problem", so I became worried and looked for the answer to this problem online. When I saw your post and read the word "magnet" a little light went on in my head -- I was placing the device on the loudspeaker! Apparently, the sensor in the back was picking the magnetism from within the loudspeaker enclosure (i.e. from the tweeter driver magnet)
Phew! First screen glass going loose, now this with screen going off -- I was getting real worried these Nexuses were cursed

Heh same thing started happening to me, thought the onboard graphics was faulty until I found this thread. Turns out it was the magnet on my case causing it, and getting a bit worn in that it's touching the back of my nexus now!

Same happens to me, I'm just about to exchange it, not sure if i should anymore.

Same happens to me this evening for the first time in 3 days

Happened when I got a new case, I just fold it so its not close to the sensor. I will exchanged my first nexus because of dead pixels and my new one does the same thing. I'm using the Hip street rotating case.

keep an eye on this thread

You put leather in your title, it's PU not actually leather just to avoid possible confusion.

I, and many XDA members bought exactly this case....
here's my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823702

i would've definitely bought that if i saw it earlier. i just bought this one instead because Amazon was having a prime free trial and shipping was 2 days for technically $1.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D2POAS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
i love the color options and its simplicity.

I bought one of these about a month ago. I like it except for one issue I only recently noticed.
At times my screen goes black for no apparent reason. The power button will get me the swipe display, but the swipe just goes back to a black screen. The only way to recover seemed to be a reboot.
However, this always happens when I have the front cover of the case folded behind the tablet. I found that if I closed the cover and reopened it, the tablet went back to normal. Apparently the magnet in the cover which normally shuts down the display when its closed was also shutting down the display at times from behind the tablet.
I don't know why this only started happening recently. Perhaps I'm just using it in the folded position more. It's pretty inconvenient since I like folding the cover out of the way when in use.

Screen protector does not work :(

Hey guys, I have a problem. I use on Gear screen protector from one of my previous phone One X (nilkin). I cut small square for the gear but after one hour I find out that the screen protector is no there .
So, I was thinking that the screen protector is maybe old and does not work, so yesterday I damaged my second original Samsung Galaxy Note3 screen protector and everything looks okay. But today the screen saver is not there anymore
Any solution? These screensaver should be really good, on my phone always work very well. I am really dissapointed because screen protector from Samsung was not cheap.

I also had the same problem, first I cut one from my old S2, shifted past a few hours. So I order two from a german suplier on ebay specific to the gear, and the same problem past few hours.
The problem is in the glass of the Gear being curved.

So are you without screen protector like me?

For now yes, but I think I will give a try to liquid-kristal, tks for sharing Thelestat . Should give some extra protection, with the advantage of being completely invisible.
I've heard some reports of gear's whith Glass scratched on the wrist. Must be due to some clothes we wear.

Dry screen protectors will fall off. It s meant for straight flush glass only. I just cut out any wet screen Protector and it works well for the glass and metal. Xtremeguard has 80% off their website.

I purchased screen savers for my Gear from a company selling on Amazon.de. I have had no end of problems trying to convince this company that though the quality of the screen saver is great the point is it will not remain on the Gear, as people above have already mentioned, the body and glass are curved. What happens is the stiffness of the saver results in both ends of the saver sticking up, getting caught on clothes and coming away.
The only solution I can think of is for a manufacturer to produce a thinner protector that will bend to shape and remain stuck to the screen?
The company I purchased from requested photos and goodness knows what. I just filled a claim with Amazon.de and got my money back. I am not going to do the R&D for the company! I bought three of them as in general screen savers can, on times, be a devil to fit.
The glass will and does scratch so take care.
Kind regards.

Did you apply to the gear camera and the metal frame as well?

I did apply to the camera, did not think to do the metal frame.

If your cutting it out of another type, I found you need to round the edges. the corners that lift up, if the are sharp, will get caught on everything

Any difference to the pictures? as in blurr or smoky? Cos the lens is plastic...not sure if it makes a difference.
I figured i'll be using the Liquid Kristall for the gear.
Since after applying you can't see a layer on the screen....makes one wonder if there is actually any protection on the screen

DIY smart case possible for Moto G 2?

I was wondering why official case of moto G is at 1700 Rs. I though it is only brand and may be better build quality.
So, I just went with some local case with around 400 Rs.
Later I came to know two features of official moto G.
1. It has hall effect sensor. What it does, when case is open, it switch on display and when case is closed, it switch off. How it does it, there is small magnet in case. When case is closed, magnetic field detected by hall effect sensor which switch off display. When open, magnetic field removed and display on.
2. It has magnetic snap. So, magnet in case stick to mobile to keep it close.
I bought small magnet half the size of button. I checked the phone reacting when magnet is placed near phone for both the effect. But what I found, there are two locations for each effect.
I have attached snap for that.
Can anybody using offcial case confirm that my observation and marked location is correct?
If so, I may try to make my cheap cover acting like official smart cover with small magnets I have.

Ok...I am lost a bit.
Can anybody say what that shiny square at back is exactly and what role does it play?
and @TouGHBoY17, can you tell where is the exact location of magnet in cover by placing small pin near it?

It think it is not an easy DIY for making this cover because when I Remove the flip cover and put the front cover on the screen and remove it from the screen it lights up automatically even if have not fitted the cover. If I place the front side of the cover vertically upside down on the phone and then remove it there is no change

What you are telling makes the task easy.
That means it has nothing to do with back cover.
There shall be some magnetic media in front cover at right side middle which enables hall effect sensor. See my snap in OP.
I have tested it with small magnet and it does work.
Just want to confirm if same thing happen in original moto cover also.
So, I asked to check that magnetic field with small pin in front cover.

Ok I found the location is in eight down side easiest way to find that lactation is look at the right back side of your phone you can see the pattern to hold the cover near the screw at back edge side it is that location where the magnet is placed on the phone flip cover and the magnet is very strong

Official LED Flip cover not working anymore | NFC & Payment Settings FC

So I seem to have a 2-fer issue going on, first I noticed that my Flip Case stopped showing the LED lights. In reading, people have mentioned that the case uses/connects via NFC. So I went to "Settings" and clicked on "NFC & Payment" and that's when that force closed. Looks like NFC is not working on my phone. Anyone else noticing issues?

My case is working without NFC turned on in settings. But it lags and get bugged sometimes. Maybe software issue, or the case is damaged.

So Idk what did it. I attempted about 3reboots, took off the case numerous times, and finally went about to start disabling any "changes" I had in place and left the case off for an extended period.
Using package Disabler, I reenabled everything though bloatware has been disabled since I got the phone.
I switched Home back to Samsung's default. Some people have reported issues with Nova prime, though i don't have prime.
Then did one more reboot and reattached my case. Now the case works and NFC doesn't force close.
So for me, the connection is strong between the NFC settings and the case not working.
Re disabled all packages and back to using Nova....case still working and NFC settings still works. So issue is resolved, but the cause is still unknown.

I just noticed the same thing happened to me. This is not cool, to say the least.

I called samsung today and they are replacing it. They emailed me a shopping label while on the phone with them. *They have no issue replacing the cover. Just have your receipt and the cover of course ..called them and let them send a shopping label for ups. I was informed that it will take a total of 9-11 days from sending to receiving a new cover back.

Problem solve for me
I have been having issue with LED flip cover as well. Through searching internet someone has posted that the LED work fine when the flip cover is on metal surface. So I try put the led flip cover on my ipad front and back, it seems to fine on the front (screen side better). I assume that it need something to bounce or block signal on some particular area of the phone back side.
I end up using kitchen type aluminum foil approx. 0.5- 1" width and lenght equal to the width of my S7 edge place just below the camera between the glass back and flip cover. With this aluminum foil everything work perfect. Led always show when close the flip, swipe work when phone ring or alarm on everytime, press power switch always turn on led now.
Note that since I never use NFC, interference to these function is unknown. Wireless charging is fine.
Just happy that now my LED works everytime instead of sometime. Hope this help some of you who may encounter and have been annoying with this LED flip cover from Samsung.
