Have you tried a different launcher? Or do they all do that?
I,ve tried few launchers and it didn't help

Same problem with my n7 pure stock and default launcher.

Its a software problem. A launcher won't do much if anything. There is a rumoured 4.2.2 update being pushed in the U.S. fingers crossed it will fix the. Problem. You can star the issue on Google but I'm sure I saw a thread opened for it already with looooooads of complaints...so Google is aware of it.

Hi everyone,
It's the famous bounce back issue that kills everybody's touch experience. There is a google issue thread about it. I Tried several launchers but only Apex Launcher Fixed it.
Install Apex Launcher and get relax. I hope they fix it with 4.2.2
Well guys, it seems like 4.2.2 has fixed the swiping bounceback issue for me. I've been plagued by it in the past but ever since flashing the OTA this morning I can't replicate a single instance of it no matter how hard I try.
Thanks Google!

Unfortunately, 4.2.2 did not fix it for me, I can still reproduce it with the launcher, settings pull down and browser and see it with "Pointer Location" turned on in the developer options. It still makes an L gesture at the end of quick swipes.

Here's the issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39892
And, here's the change of interest in 4.2.2. I don't have the update yet, so can't confirm if it fixes both the homescreen swiping and the notification pull-down bounceback...

Reduce false swipe-closed gestures in status bar panels.
VelocityTracker is a powerful tool---too powerful, in this
case, because many devices (I'm looking at you, Nexus 7)
have touchscreens that report total garbage on takeoff and
landing.
PanelView now uses its own incredibly crude velocity tracker
called FlingTracker, which implements a short sliding window
of the last 8 motion events (7 intervals) over which touch
velocity is averaged. There's also a little bias toward more
recent touch events so that the overall velocity of small
circular gestures will tend to favor the exit tangent.
The end result is a primitive low-pass filter on touch
velocity that should help us avoid situations where one (or
even two!) stray MotionEvents at the end of a gesture won't
invalidate the overall thrust.

Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).
Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).
When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.
When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.
I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.

So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.
Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?

Yes, the lines appear without charging.

Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.
On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.
Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care.
Here here!!
Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.

I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.
As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.
Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.
So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? just messing.

Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.

A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.

Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.
i have this as well, a dark horizontal line appears in a flash of second at random time and place, i thot it is the flicker issue ppl talked about?
but i dont have the whole screen flicker tho i have tried google map zooming or panning with gps on and weak wifi signal and auto brightness off and 15%

I have a Nexus 7 and I am very happy with it. Currently running CM10.1 nightlies.
A few days ago a friend of mine wanted me to root his kindle fire (first generation) and install a custom Android 4.2.1 build. After doing that, I played around with it for a while (the Kindle Fire, no dirty thoughts!) and realised even the slightest movement of fingers resulted in more "estate" covered on the screen. In the standard Webkit browser, when scrolling down on a webpage, the experience was much better than on my much more powerful Nexus 7.
I wonder:
- Can I adjust how my Nexus 7 respons to my fingers movement - kinda like mouse sensitivity?
- Perhaps this has something to do with the lower resolution on the Kindle?
Its most likely a hardware thing.
I don't notice the difference between my kindle and my nexus

Sorry for being daft: you say it is most likely a hardware thing, yet your experience on these devices is similar? I reckon you mean a software thing, from the custom ROM i am trying out?
FYI this is the ROM I installed. I don't see any mentions of customised sensitivity.
Anyone got any input on my other Q regarding ability to adjust sensitivity? I'd like to make my Nexus 7's react with bigger movement when i scroll in the browser etc.
Hi guys,
I've been reading up on some nexus 7 stuff but I'm pretty new to it and was running 4.1.2 until recently, I see 4.2.2 was released but couldn't see any concrete feedback on how it compares to say custom roms like smoothrom based on 4.2.1. Do you guys find it better than say smooth rom in UI performance and battery? I'm not sure if I should change to 4.2.2 or stick with 4.2.1 custom roms with performance/smoothness tweaks for now.
Thanks
Smoother here.
I found my N7 sped up with 4.2.1 anyway when I cleared up some space. Havn't loaded it down since, so that may be the reason.
The main reason I want back to 4.1, was the broken Bluetooth Audio, but that also seems to be much improved in 4.2.
Will give rooted 4.2.2 stock a shot then, thanks
I've been on 4.2.2 for a few hours and I must say the wireless appears to be erratic! I'm sitting between 2 APs with same SSID so I don't know if the roaming settings are too aggresive...but seems worse than 4.2 was :thumbdown:
I'm hoping Bluetooth is better than it was as my creative headset would constantly go out of sync on 4.2!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm running the latest Paranoid Android 4.2.2 nightly and it's running perfect. The Bluetooth works with the flashable zip fix just fine. I use my sixaxis controller with it and it's flawless. Benchmarks are about the same as before, but I don't really pay attention to them. I would recommend updating, I regret not doing it sooner.

I am actually noticing better WiFi performance with 4.2.2. I don't have to use better WiFi anymore, it switches seamlessly between my 2 routers with the same ssid. 4.2.2 made my nexus 7 run a lot smoother and faster, all around it was a good decision to upgrade.

Bluetooth was pretty much screwed on all devices by 4.2.x. I have a Nexus 7 and a HTC One XL, which I used to tether via bluetooth. This worked perfectly when both devices were on 4.1.2. Now the devices pair and the Nexus 7 claims to be using the One XL for internet connectivity, but it doesn't work and says network unreachable when I ping from terminal.
I never use bluetooth audio on my Nexus, but I do use it on my One XL. That's pretty much screwed since 4.2.x as well, with poor quality and crackling. There's a massive google bug report thread on it, which actually looks like I've not got it as bad as a lot of people!
Where do you find the flashable bluetooth fix? Is it just for Nexus 7?

Hi there,
I use stock 4.2.2 with apex launcher and its the most fluent and rapid thing. Scrolling feels so good. I am new to nexus 7 and JB, but from what i have seen so far im loving it.
In terms of web browsing and performance in general its quite good. I had galaxy tab 2 7" before nexus and it just not match the smotherness and performance of the N7. Its impressive.

Hi everyone, got a Note, installed Omni KitKat nightly and I'm as happy as a puppy. Only grief is that I'm missing all the spen candy. I know it needs the touchwiz framework and strongly doubt if Samsung is ever gonna grant us with a KitKat ROM for note 1, so here's the question: Is there any work in progress or any workaround to regain some spen functionality in KitKat? We could start by replacing that ugly cursor with something more phablet friendly.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
Hmm seems nobody is using their spens anymore...
I like the way kitkat is going but if any dev is reading this id like to know what to expect concerning these missing features:
1 - spen specific functions and airview like option. It could be implemented from when samsung update the note 3 to 4.4
2 - video calling over 3g (i.e. over regular phone)
3 - multiwindow, though i think its already in the works
4 - handwriting recognition
Mind you this is not a request for an ETA, just if these features will be available on the note1 under kitkat.
Thanks in advance and if you have other features in mind please share. :-
Sent from my TouchPad using Tapatalk 4
Also, what about hdmi via mhl? Again, no request for eta, just enquiring if these features will ever be available on kitkat. Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
This thread reminds me of my days in solitary confinement. Always talking to myself... Anyway, i think the feature i miss the most is actually video calls over 3g. Wonder if it's dialer app specific or there is more to it. I'll try different dialers and let - myself- know
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4
Most of the features you are taking about are Samsung implemented features.
- Calls over 3G can be done using any 3rd party app.
- even mhl is proprietary to Samsung.
- If air view and all were to be implemented on AOSP&CM based roms, wouldn't it have been already done as it was there in Samsung 4.1.2. So why to wait for 4.4? Most of these roms are not specifically made for stylus phones.
- Multi-window does work. Still under development. Although there are a lot of floating MW options.
- About handwriting recognition, it's used in Samsung keyboard. Again Samsung.. If you just want recognition, there are apps to do that.
You say it's not a ETA thread but keep updating it with your own posts every day. If you asked this to any Dev, why not wait for one to read and answer?
Made some progress with spen on kitkat. Fortunately that ugly cursor was ditched in the latest nightly and with gmd gestures app and gnote (from the forums) the spen is almost useful again. Also i find the swype like feature in SwiftKey much more convenient than handwriting recognition. Keep you updated with my progress. @nokiamodeln91 3rd party dialers offer video over data connection. I need the umts/3g implementation of video calling. Thanks for your input though.

I just installed KitKat Verizon Note2. I bought my Galaxy Nexusin '11 only to be dumped by Google, now with my Note2 that I really love, hear that I have to wait until next year sometime, if even then. I would really like some love for the Note2 SPen functions in the KitKat build.
Thanks to everyone working on these builds.

The implementation is basic right now, swiping left right up and down plus double tap can be assigned to apps or soft keys. It's still to be developed, for now I'm using GMD spen control which is much more flexible. The rom is omni kitkat nightly 12/12. Take the time to read the OP on how to install the rom.

I'm using GMD as well, and Handwrite too. I would like to see the whole Note 3 SPen functions brought to the KitKat. There is a lot of cool stuff there. Some of the MotoX functions as well. My friend just received his Moto, and rubbing it in my face with all the hands free functions, talking to his phone while it is just sitting on the desk idle, screen off. That is cool. If I had any idea on how to program, I would try to figure this out.
Being over 50 now, and trying to learn all the new programming the young guys are doing, I'm impressed. Kudos to all of you out there tackling this. :beer:
