I'm not even touching the screen an its opening apps and locking up. I've already put into recovery mode and did a hard reset & wiped cache. And no luck it's still acting up what do I do???

AW: Nexus 7 Screen Going Crazy Help!!!w
Do you have touch-recovery.If so is it doing the same thing in recovery?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I would return the unit if that is possible.
I don't know if touch threshold sensitivity can even be adjusted - but it should not be your responsibility to have to fiddle with it.
Just curious though (without changing my opinion about a return) - does the problem happen randomly, or only in specific circumstances e.g. plugged into a charger, with the unit sitting on specific surfaces, or when the humidity is low?
It just started doing this yesterday.

No on touch recovery its not rooted! I used stock recovery..

same problem here...i sent it to repair once but after a few months the problem came back again...
I'd say warranty that thing, sounds like a hardware problem

For some reason my phone froze awake at the home screen last night while charging and now my home screen is permanently etched in. When I restart my phone, as soon as the screen lights up I can see my home screen while it boots and continually afterwards. Is there any way to fix this?

If you have warranty you can give that a check see if samsung/att will help you out. Super AMOLED screens have a expected 2 year after that screens start to burn in (usually blue is the first to burn).
So my girl's droid 3 has been acting up and want to try and get a replacement but she spilled cooking oil on screen and has a dark spot on LCD which happened early March. That did not effect the performance at all but lately its been going nuts. My question is can I get a replacement and not be charged for the the LCD problem even though it didn't effect the performance? Just want to know if anybody here has had the same incident or something similar or even your input would be nice. Thanks In Advance

How dark is the spot you are talking about? Are the performance issues now related to the screen response? Because it kind of sounds like now there are issues with the screen because of the oil incident.. ;]
I had to warranty my D2G awhile back. I declared a few somewhat major cosmetic problems to them as I was a jeweler at the time and had probably damaged it in some way during the course of my work. The problem with my phone had ended up being hardware related and had nothing to do with the damage and so my phone was replaced.
Here's pics of the screen and the problems happened months after the oil spill

But no the problem is that is gets hot and randomly reboots all day everyday the screen works perfectly except for the dark spot on screen

make the background pure black, avoid putting light apps where the dark spot is, and then i would bring it in lol
maybe turn the brightness down a bit also
Well if I turn the light down its too dark and can't see anything where the dark spot is at. But that's not the problem I want to know can i get a replacement to fix the over heating problem and the random reboots that happens frequently. I have no problem with the dark spot on screen

Well if you bring it in and tell them about the spill, they will probably tell you the overheating & rebooting is from that and im pretty sure spills are not covered by the 1 year warranty. And the spill would void the warranty im pretty sure also.
If you have insurance they will replace it though.
You could always go to the store and see if the rep will let you exchange it. You might get a nice one. It's unlikely but withholding info I think is fraud.

Looks like that dark spot is over the cpu... I'd try saying the dark spot was caused by the heating issue and maybe not mention the cooking oil...
^^^^^^^
I second that. Tell them that one day the phone got really hot in her pocket and then this screen dark spot appeared. She had been dealing with it 'til now, but she's finally sick of it since these new issues arose.
I could also try that to just don't want to send the phone in and they open it and see oil inside and they charge me for a whole new device even though it happened months ago. Does anybody know where the water censors are or the only one is in back of phone?

Just go in and they should replace it their if they have any in stock. Or they might offer you a different device.
It doesnt matter if it happened months ago, technically this would VOID your warranty. Like said above your best chance is to bring it in and say the it kept overheating in your pocket since a few months back and started noticing that dark spot.. If they did check the water sensors and they WERE TRIPPED then they wouldnt replace it, because that would void your warranty.
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.

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.

this is actually my second unit..i send to Asus for a replacement unit like 2 or 3 months ago because of the same problem..everything was fine with the new unit until now..Asus really need to work on their quality control..

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).
I replaced the screen on a Verizon droid 4 and when booted, only the middle of the screen responds to any type of touch, capacitive buttons don't work, and the screen selects randomly in the middle by itself.
I've taken it apart and put everything back together 3 times checking connections and same results occur.
Am I missing something or is the replacement a dead one?

Edit: fixed the issues. It was a bad screen. Ordered from a company rather than eBay. Guess that's what I get for trying to save a couple bucks. 2 replacement worked great.

The title explains it all, this just started happening this morning. I even booted into recovery and can see it not it bootloader. There was a couple sense 5.5 roms I flashed before that had this but now its on CM 10.1. And its very annoying I haven't dropped my phone or applied any type of pressure to the screen. Wondering if anyone has solution or any knowledge if why this happens.

I hope you realize that there isn't anything on these screenshots. Most likely your problem is hardware related not software related, that's why it doesn't show up in the screenshots

Just a heads up, don't get excited. This is most likely a hardware problem.
Try putting it in the freezer overnight, it has solved many of these issues(not kidding). Just make sure you wrap it with a plastic bag

I decided not to run an ruu. I just held my power button for two minutes. Everything is back to normal.
