Since day one, I've had touchscreen issues. When the charger is plugged in, the keyboard is unusable. One touch triggers keys all over the place faster than I could ever touch the screen. Unplugging the charger fixes that issue.
After a while, phantom presses start happening. If an app supports multitouch zoom, it becomes impossible to scroll instead of zooming. Keeping the screen clean seems to delay the problem from happening. If the problem presents, just cleaning the screen won't help. I have to turn the display off and back on for any effect. I've heard putting on a screen protector helps with this issue, but I haven't had a chance get one. If the screen protector just masks the issue, that doesn't seem like a good fix.
Should I try to get a replacement Nook Color now that doesn't have these issues or should I wait until the last month of my warranty to see if I can get more developed hardware? There doesn't seem to be a consensus if these issues are hardware or software.

That must be frustrating. Mine does not behave this way at all (though I've only had it for 4 days). If you bought it in the store, I'd exchange it. If you bought it via the BN ebay store, I'd try the screen protector first as I hear it's quite an ordeal returning it via ebay.
This us a very common issue. It has something to do with sensitivity of the screen increasing greatly when the unitbis charging or the screen brightness is way up. I just chage mine at night and don't worry about it.
I was having a lot of problems with phantom touches -- I even replaced my 2nd NC just to get another one that had the same issue. I ended up putting on a B&N anti-glare screen protector and haven't witnessed any phantom touches since then.
Edit: I actually meant to post this in the other phantom touches thread. ;/
Happens a lot to me even while unplugged. Known issue. Until I pick up a B&N screen protector I find locking the device and a quick wiping of the screen with a microfiber or any soft cloth (my shirt works in a pinch) removes moisture and oil build-up that is causing the uber-sensitive digitizer to register phantom touches.

Just posting my personal success story with fixing creakyness when pressing the edges of the screen, no idea if this is the common issue that most people are having. I looked through a few pages of posts and haven't seen anyone else post about this fix - apologies if I missed it.
I don't personally have any screen separation so that's likely something different entirely, and seem to have a fix already anyways. My creaking was also mostly localized to the upper right by the hardware buttons.
My issue was specifically with the BATTERY I tried tightening screws and it seems to go away temporarily but would come back after some hours. Taking out the battery and re-seating seems to have stopped all creaking entirely. What seems to be happening is the adhesive (applied to the top and bottom of the battery/frame) is so strong that it's actually putting force on the metal frame it's attached to and warping it, and said warping of the frame is what causes the creaking sound when depressed.
Not sure if this is just an issue with the way it was assembled, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the adhesive might melt under heat when playing games or charging and perhaps cause the frame to expand slightly - not sure if that would be enough to actually make this problem re-surface. I'll have to give it some time and a few charges to know for sure.
As of right now this thing feels rock solid. If the problem does come back I feel like cleaning off the original adhesive and re-applying your own in a smarter location should do the trick.
Instructions for how to remove the back cover and battery here can by found by googling "ifixit nexus 7", it's on the first page. Pry it off, pop it back on, no creaks.
I'll try this. Tightening the screws didn't fix the creakiness on my tablet either.
I have a Brand New Kindle Fire HD 7. I have it Rooted with Apex Launcher. From Time to time the display just shuts off on its own. I have Screen Timeout set to never, but it still continues to do this. Does anyone know how to make this stop? Maybe through the build.prop or another way. If anyone needs more info just let me know.
Mine was driving me crazy with that, but I finally figured out the problem; It was the magnetic closure on my case setting off the dim command. Apparently Amazon has a case that wakes up/sleeps the HD automatically. I just flipped my case around, so that now it opens the opposite direction of a book and it solved the problem.
Holy testicles I have a case with a magnetic latch too that has to be it!
Mine was opening with the charger ports close to the magnet latch. I'm not using an hd case on for some other tab it's a little small for mine but it works and its real leather. I just flipped it around so the ports are further from the ports hopefully this solves it. Thanks button hit!
After 24 hours of testing this problem is fixed it was the magnet on my case Thanks!
Anyone else seem to have a problem with the ambient light/proximity sensor on their N6? I've noticed that a lot of times when i make calls, the screen won't shut off when i put the phone to my head... often with that resulting in my cheek touching something, and the person on the other end not being able to hear me. If i leave the phone at an angle against my ear so my cheek doesn't touch the screen, eventually the screen will shut off, but won't come on when i take the phone away from my ear, resulting in me having to press the power button to turn the screen back on.
Had that happen to me yesterday ... Rebooted and it hasn't happened today.

I'm having a issue now. Phone call comes in and screen stays on. I did a reboot, factory reset even installed custom ROM. It was working the other day. Anyway to calibrate this thing? Or do we have a bad sensor.
Also now my phone won't rotate screen.

Do any of you happen to have a screen protector on? As there have been some users that have been reporting issues with certain screen protectors. I believe most are tempered glass protectors that are the cause of the problems.
I took mine off and still nothing.

Did you try going to settings , accessibility , power button ends call, toggle that on and off.
We own two new Nexus 6 devices that are rooted and decrypted. We have the same issue where the phone screen stays on during a call. Rebooting fixes for a short period (hours or so) but the problem comes back. Other threads show this to be an issue with other phones (nexus 5) with Lollipop. Not sure of a fix. These devices are only a few weeks old so it is not a dust issue.
Having the same issue that just suddenly started. Rebooting does not seem to help.
Happening here too. Frustrating.
My screen turns off when taking the phone to the ear but it doesn't turn on again after i take it away from my ear.
It's pretty bad on my phone. The screen turns on when I am on a call making the notification bar drop down. Also, the phone doesn't wake up when I pull the phone away from my fasce 80% of the time. When I am on a call the phone randomly vibrates like I am getting a notification and when I look I have nothing. With all of this going on, making phone calls on this device is a nightmare.
Restore clean wipe did nothing.

The below mentioned fix is for brand new Nexus 6.
Did you try going to settings , accessibility , power button ends call, toggle that on and off.
After completing the above mentioned step. Reboot your phone and try making a call. I hope the issue get resolved.
I tried this step on an unrooted phone, which was recieved just yesterday.
I got this fix from some other thread.

What app
Orzly works fine... It doesn't cover the sensor. The Slimwrap orange vinyl (leather) face was a problem for me, had to enlarge the cutout to get suitable performance. I believe the sensor is longer than it is wide, the opposite of the factory cutout? It frames the face of the phone nicely with this screen protector on and I didn't want to take it off. The 24mm added height changes the profile of the phone alot, it no longer rests on the speaker bars/guards. This must also have effected placing the wrap on as well. The larger cutout box for the sesnor is a detractor, but the sensor works 100%. This is good , as it is my intention to run nekid with this phone but its size precludes using a case with any of the pockets I currently own.

Thanks I was just having a crazy time trying to install the front, similar case (glass protector in front) and ended up cutting a hole for the proximity sensor about 2 times the factory height, everything (seems) normal now. I used this program to help make the minimum cut, and align correctly. Did you run into any issues with the thin left & right vertical part of the front cover? Mine seems to "wrap" around the glass protector, not sure if it will stay there though
Just got a N6. I love the phone and updated to 6.0.1 but havea few weird things happen that has never happened on my N5.
Sometimes when I pull my phone from my pant pockets I will feel the phone vibrate and the camera is turned on. I have a Spigen case with kickstand on it. I was wondering if there might be some shortcut by pressing some buttons to get the camera activated that I may accidentally be doing.
I know from lock screen I can access camera by swelling at bottom from right to left.
Any suggestions what night be causing this?
Also another word thing that will happen is Google now will get activated while I am using my speakerphone. I am playing baby lullabies to put my baby to sleep and sometimes the Google now listening nice will get activated. I can't figure it why.
Thanks
Perhaps double tapping the power button is causing the camera.
Exactly my thought.

That was it. I guess this is a new feature of the 6.0.1 and didn't see it.
