I was doing fine on ParanoidAndroid 4.2, then I flashed over to 4.3. Soon after, I found that the center row of my screen isn't registering touch. Also, I noticed that sometimes I get occasional phantom touches and times where the touchscreen isn't working at all until I turn the phone off and back on.
I read that this was a pretty big issue with nexus 7 users(something to do with 4.3 changes with touch response), so I was wondering who all has been affected.

nope....im alright.
Have you tried flashing 4.2 again ? If nothing helps, you might want to replace your digitizer...
I've been reading up on digitizer issues and I haven't ruled it out. I haven't flashed back due to time constraints, and also the sheer fact I'd hate to.
I do think it's funny that I'm having the same kind of issues that N7 users are having though. Thanks for the reply anyway ^_^

Few days ago I reported this issue, with my very bottom screen not responding, and in my case it was a hardware issue, some of the squarish like things that you can see under the light are broken on the bottom of my screen, and hence I lost touch sensitivity at that area. Hope yours is just a software thing

Hey guys i thought i would share a simple fix for the touchscreen problems that people are having. I used to have some problems with my touchscreen on stock, basically sometimes the right side of my touchscreen would be difficult and unresponsive. Im not sure what happened, it seems that after i flashed the Codenamesammy ROM it started to have these problems. I though my first tablet was just faulty so i returned and recieved a new one. I flashed the same rom on it then went back to stock and was having similar problems. I thought to myself that it was a software problem, so here is how i solved it.
Fix
Unlock and root your tablet if have not yet. Flash This using TWRP or CWM.
How it works - Im not entirely sure why this worked even though i was in stock and it had stock drivers. Anyways it replaces the current drivers with the one in the build it has posted.
Credits - I give complete credit to the one who extracted these drivers and posted them.
Thought i might help some of you out with your problems before deciding to RMA it. If this does not work for you then it might be the actual hardware.
Is it still working?
Has anyone tried this fix and can confirm if it has worked for them?

Looks like a grounding problem to me, don't think that can be fixed in software.
Thats deff a screen issue hardware related.
For me, this problem is solved : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArlV8jTdkRM

People shouldn't really have to repair their nexus tablets on their own and run the risk of voiding the warranty. You should all have it under warranty.
For me I would keep returning it until I receive one that no longer has any defects, even if it means returning 10 of em. This way Google would see a high amount of returns and hopefully do something about it.

I don't have the issue, but I'm on franco.Kernel + Team EOS Stable ROM + JRO03R Binaries. I thought I noticed the issue on stock though, but I could be wrong.
I have same this issue especially when the device is heated .. the touch unresponsive in the center..
But I return my N7 to the warranty before i see this topic..
Thank you

I was having dead spot issues. The screen not reading my touch, but now after update i could have sworn i saw a horizontal line flash across the screen. Never seen it before I've only noticed it once though.

Didn't fix mine... when i touch either side of my screen it thinks i'm touching both sides. Gonna have to RMA T_T
This unfortunately didn't resolve my issues, as can be seen here. Is there any other attempted fixes for this issue? If I reboot my device it seems to work dine for a while, but after several hours of being on, it experiences these problems.

Yes, I have. Those videos I took where after I had flashed the new drivers.
Still getting touchscreen issues after flashing over cm10. In fact it may now be worse. Now I get ghost taps and swipes, apps have a mind of their own. Fortunately turning the screen off and back on seems to clear it up though.

So I was wondering if between the different variations 16GB/32GB and 32+mobile if the same issues were showing up or if the new ones have quietly addressed the issues.
So far these are the main issues
Screen flicker
Difficulty when waking from sleep
Unresponsive power button to power on after powered off
Any others please add and respond to above question thanks all

Nexus 7 32Gb WiFi only CAO. Three points of minor light bleed at top. Bad flicker on auto no matter WiFi signal strength. Have to be at least 28% brightness to go away. No screen lift. I may exchange this one but expect chances are I will get a replacement with similar issues. I just have to find in myself if it is worth it.
I have a 16Gb C9O that doesn't have these issues at all and tint isn't quite as yellow either though I fix that with Filter My Screen app. I prefer that app over Screen Adjuster because it doesnt cause a performance hit.

As of this week, there's a creaking sound on my upper left side (of course, where else..)
Anyone else had similar luck? Was pretty happy with it up till now, well actually I'm mostly still happy with it.
I just assume I need to buy a new screen protector now if I RMA it right? Or do they give the same device back?
And does anyone know how the RMA process works if you bought from an Australian retailer?

They send the same device back if it is fixable but it might have a new screen on it

But flawless apart from the screen issue, I've never had a problem with much flicker or speaker issues, only on 4.1, but 4.1.2 fixed for me.

Bought nexus 4 last month it was 301k then found its volume down button doesnt work so called Google managed to get replacement so Today I received my replacement phone which surprisingly 301k but after playing with it whole day I've found many difference between my new one and the faulty one.
The screen is much brighter in the faulty one, white looks very bright which looks very good but screen is kinda yellowish on the new one. I've installed pa ROM on both phone because its colour calibration is much better than stock, however blue colour looks natural on my new phone that's probably because of yellowish screen but on the other it hurts my eyes as its screen is bright.
Vibration is little bit strong on the new phone.
Sound through earpiece was louder on the faulty one but not that loud on my new phone but I still think its loud.
Phone gets warm quickly on the new one. Therefore faulty one has best benchmark score.
Camera is good on the both but on the new one camera lens placed very accurately.
Battery life is same but new phone charges quicker than the faulty one. Left them on charge today new phone was full charged after approx. 2.15 hr and faulty one was full charged after 2.35 hr.
Pressing buttons experience good on new phone but on the faulty one buttons are hard to press.
That's all I have found sending my phone back to Google tomorrow but I liked the faulty one screen looks very vibrant and bright if I could fix the volume button I would have kept it. By the way has anyone else noticed any difference on their replacement phone. I could make a video but don't have any camera but managed to take a photo of both phone.

I don't believe the revision changed anything of this nature. Spreading these types of rumors are what makes all the dummies go and rma when they're is nothing wrong with the current phone..
To the op... You are saying that both phones are turned all the way low with brightness? Your old one hurts your eyes when turned down?
I think every phone will look a little different but it could be due to using different versions of the rom and Kernal you are using. To compare you should bring them both to stock and make sure they are using the same versions.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Not all phones are exactly the same. I would suggest find a ROM/kernel / and color preset found in XDA That makes your phone to your liking. Unless you feel like u have a serious issue then get another replacement.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Well neither I'm saying something wrong with my new phone nor saying I'm gonna RMA my device. Just feeling but wired that new one has different things than old one. yes I've installed same ROM on both and same brightness level but the display is just a bit yellowish believe me or not on stock you can see the difference.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I noticed similar differences. I have had my rev10 for 2.5 months now and just bought a rev11 this week and definitely noticed a little more of a yellowish coloring on the new one. I also did notice the 11 did have a stronger vibrate than my 10 did. I did not however notice any differences in the earpiece quality.

Screen being a bit yellowish is a good thing cause less chance to get yellow spot which I had on my first nexus from first batch. This is my third nexus by the way and I have to say I have had different experience with three of these phone

Give the screen some time to cure. The yellow will go away. The glue needs to dry

I'm wondering if I've got a faulty device or if it's maybe a software bug. I know there's a topic in the troubleshooting but id like a simple yes or no and if you're using a screen protector or not.
So, do your back & home button stop working randomly for about 10 seconds?

I do not have phone, but as I read not only in this forum but others, use screen protector will cause problem for these button.
If you arwe in same situation better to remove protector and see is it still there.
Yes I had the same problem and it now seems to be fixed after removing the screen protector. It's a bumber as I never use a phone without protecting the screen !!!

Not willing to take off the screen protector, but the intermittent nature of the issue suggests it us not an issue with the screen protector.

If the problem happen with any kind screen protector then it is serious.

It's happened to me on many occasions and I've not got a screen protector on. But it works normally most of the time. When it doesn't I just lock and unlock the phone and the buttons start to work again. I'm unsure if it's faulty or not.

According to htc's customer service rep it's a known issue with the sensitivity of the buttons that will be fixed in a coming update.

I am also not using protector and have the issue
Not only button but some time the other part of screen also daily to response
E.g. I notice when I call using Skype it takes 2 to 3 second for call to start after I press the screen
I hope it is not hardware issue and they release an urgent fix or update.
Thanks
Contact them on twitter, they generally get back to you within a day, see what they say.

Also that sounds more like an issue with the app, I had similar problems with some apps on my galaxy s2, as well as on my One. Could be wrong though. If you do contact them please report back to here, id like to know if its a hardware or software problem too.
Unfortunately having the same problem and the phone store and htc are acting like it's my unlocking of the bootloader fault.
Can we say for certain it's a software issue?
I am kind of stressing out over here :-\

Get my new one today, people go on about the build quality, it's been overheating, dead pixels, flickering of the screen on the keypad, poor home buttons, scuffs and sharp corners from the metal overhang for me.
If this one sucks I'm just gonna exchange for a GS4 upgrade instead.

I am also on sense 1.28 actually 1.28.401.7 to be exact.
It doesn't happen often and if it's only software then I couldn't give a crappie but I am a but worried that it's a hardware issue.
Edit:
It's back again after sometime. So, raised RMA. Let me see how it goes.
Seems after disabling power saver & enabling haptic feedback, the back button issue hadn't come yet. Just coincidence or fact I'll update after testing further
