Odd lock screen issue/glitch (white line across screen)

Just noticed an odd glitch on my Nexus7. When I press the lock screen button I notice a 1px heigh white line that varies in length, but normally about half the width of the screen and can be seen about half and inch up from the very button of the screen.. The line is visible approx 9 time out of 10 when locking the screen.
Has anybody else noticed this? I'm currently undecided if I should return due to a slight screen flicker in gmaps but if this is a real fault I guess this will help me make my mind up.

Does it show then go away with in a few of milliseconds? Mine does that very rarely

Yes that's it... To be honest I wouldn't normally see it as I rarely lock the screen manually, but I did this morning and noticed it. Think I may just leave it then.

I think I have a different issue from you guys and was wondering if you ever experienced this. Occasionally I get a vertical white line across the screen for a couple millisecond after I wake the device from sleep into the lockscreen.

I get the exact same thing on mine. I thought I was imagining it at first as it happens so fast. I would be interested to find out what it is.

Do you get a vertical white line or horizontal?

I'm glad I'm not the only one.. Mine is only horizontal and stays the exact distance up from the bottom of the screen each time. I'm guessing its not a major problem and I'm quite happy to live with it. Just hope I haven't stumbled upon another Nexus7 issue.

I think my dogotizer is going bad...

A while ago I came across a YouTube video of a guy poopooing the Nexus 7 because while he liked the device he's had two have screens that suddenly went haywire. I fear my device is beginning to suffer the same fate.
Its a 32gb that I picked up from staples on day one of their release. Basically what happens is increasingly my swipes (long swipes... Not flicks) register as taps and sometimes don't pick up at all. Also from time to time the screen will behave randomly as if I'm seiping or tapping even when I'm not even holding the device. Normally turning the screen off will fix it but its gotten to the point that I'm now resetting the device a couple of times a day.
Basically I want to know what the best option is. Take it back to staples even though its been well beyond 30 days? Call Google support? Is there a known fix? Thanks folks.

For those who are having phantom touches on their Nexus 7's

Hello, reader! If you are thinking that I made this story up: You are wrong. This is a very real and indeed VERY FRUSTRATING issue.
You can look it up on YouTube by typing "nexus 7 phantom touches". I am NOT here to post crap and lies. I am here to help. So please, if you are out of hope, tried EVERY SINGLE possible solution that was out there: RMA your device as soon as possible.
Hello, fellow Nexus 7 users!
Please read Edit #2 and Edit #4 after reading the story and a possible solution.
I was one of those who had a "phantom touch" problem on their Nexus 7 devices. Things like automatic typing and unresponsive screen are good examples.
I bought my Nexus 7 three weeks ago, and right off the bat it turned out that the screen has popped out from the left side of the screen. The screen was slightly lifted up over the bezel and creating a cracking sound when pressure was applied to it. I read about this problem on the Internet on how to fix it manually, but I didn't want to void the warranty, so I returned the device back to the shop for service. Two weeks passed, and I got my Nexus 7 back, with the screen fixed. That was the point where "phantom touches" started. Note: I updated my device from 4.1 Jelly Bean to 4.2 as soon as I bought the device and brought it home. I am a fairly new Android user, but I figured out things pretty fast. I am pretty sure it's a hardware failure, but magically somehow, reflashing to 4.1.2 eliminated the problem.
Now, how I fixed the problem (this may not be an ultimate solution, but it worked for me):
WARNING: Here you have to be very careful, because doing this might void your warranty AND if you royally screw up, you might have some problems. This is pretty easy, but just a note to everybody who will be attempting this.
You can also find in-depth tutorials elsewhere. I'm just telling here what I did.
1. I simply installed Asus Google Nexus 7 Toolkit v.4.0.0 to my computer and installed ADB and fastboot drivers. All these drivers can be installed via the Nexus 7 Toolkit, so no additional downloads are required.
2. Downloaded 4.1.2 Nexus 7 firmware. NOTE: Remember to choose 4.1.2, because the problems disappeared with the older firmware.
3. Unlocked BootLoader (this is the step which voids warranty, but can be easily masked up by locking BootLoader back to default.)
4. Flashed the firmware from 4.2.1 to 4.1.2
5. Locked BootLoader back.
6. Voila!
TLDR: The "phantom touches" caused on my device was Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean firmware's fault AFTER I serviced my Nexus 7. Read Edit #2 and #4
I hope I helped somebody who is just as frustrated as I was!
EDIT: You must enter fastboot mode in order to unlock and flash firmware. To enter fastboot mode: power on device while holding both volume buttons until Google logo disappears and fastboot mode turns on.
EDIT 2 (IMPORTANT): Confirmed that this is not a software issue. The reason for phantom typing is that my screen isn't properly aligned with the rest of the device (motherboard), so the screen is slightly bent, creating this particular problem. This can be TEMPORARILY fixed by removing the certain screws from the left side of the screen. The problems will eventually float up again.
EDIT 3: Finally found confidence to RMA my device. Asus agreed to replace the device, but instead they gave me my money back. Bought an iPad mini 16GB instead. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Android devices, but all this Nexus 7 mess got me all frustrated and I finally gave up. Asus customer support also told me that most of the early Nexus 7's are defect models with improperly aligned screens, causing this problem. And sadly, I had an early model.
EDIT 4 (IMPORTANT): Nexus 7 models starting with early serial numbers (Thanks to user Fotogravin for info) are possibly defect models. If there are no flaws, DO NOT RMA IT, but if there is, I suggest you RMA it as soon as possible.
Feel free to post on this thread. I'm actively following this thread to help out other people.

Thanks for this. Could you let us know when you went through the downgrade and how long you have been without phantom touches? After a factory reset, mine was fine for two days on 4.21.. Not questioning the fix, but just want to make sure before I do yet another wipe
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

I immediately updated to 4.2.1 when I received my Nexus 7 two weeks ago. I only began to have the phantom touch issues when I put SmoothROM on my Nexus 7 two days ago. I'm currently in the process of restoring back to the stock ROM. I'll report back if I still have it.

I've been without the problem for at least 2 days now. Not entirely sure that the firmware downgrade helped, as I am pretty convinced that this is a hardware failure. We'll see.

I think it's hardware too. I've been getting the problem intermittently since I got the tablet and it was on 4.1 back then.
Tried returning it but it chose not to flake out while I was in store.

I've had this problem, but I've figured out that its not software at all.
Ive realised it actually seems to be from moisture. For example, if its a very humid day and my hands are a bit sticky, or say I've just got out of the shower or something, the small bits of ,moisture on the screen seem to confuse it, turn off the screen, wipe it with a dry cloth, and its fixed.

I was having the EXACT same problem as shown in the video with my N7. I have no clue how this disappeared with the reflash, as this is clearly a hardware problem. Been issue-free since wednesday.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Reflash fixed mine for about 2 days.. Saying that the issue is intermittent so possibly never fixed! I have just completed RMA form, Asus have advised its likely a hardware issue, a little frustrating as my previous device was a transformer prime which was plagued with hardware issues / design flaws. I thought being a nexus, I would be all good but nope , shouldn't moan.. However seems crazy that out of the dozens of android devices I have owned, the 2 I've had issues with have both been Asus. I know this isn't a major failure which makes going through the RMA process that little bit more annoying. I'm only doing it because I don't want the issue getting any worse.

This is nonsense. The model name of ALL nexus 7 models is ME-370T. To decide whether your tablet is an early model you need to look at the serial number, not at the model number which is the same for each and every nexus 7

I'm on 4.2.2 and I've never had any phantom touches. You guys who are sticking with stock should venture out and try new ROMs and kernels. Only time I've ever had a phantom touch was when on stock, but after switching to Slimbean + Franco I've never had a problem since, and I've been running slimbean for as long as it has been on the N7.

My device suffered the phantom touch issue for a period of time. Only happened when I was in India with work and moved from an air conditioned room to outdoors ie balcony or similar. Has been fine in UK weather.

Mine fixed itself instantly after removing the screen protector

Agreed. My model was one of the first and I never had any issues.
I think these phantom touches are crap. The screen is sensitive so if your finger gets to close then you have a touch.. That is different from a "phantom" touch.
I never had any issues with either of my nexus 7's..I had 2. If the screen is lifted that is something different and most likely a random production thing. I'm sure people will read this crap though about early models and go and rma if possible.
I know some had three lifting issue but I stunt think it is as big of a problem as it seems. I mean people are not generally posting if they don't have an issue.

It's actually a real issue, I've got it on video - recorded a few days ago - but it hasn't happened since removing the screen protector, which makes me think the display technology used (can't remember the name, uses less layers to minimise thickness) being too sensitive is the culprit. Drove me nuts though...

Go to YouTube, type in "nexus 7 phantom touches" and see for yourself.
This is a very real and frustrating issue. I'm not here to post crap and lies, I'm here to give people information that phantom touches are most of the time, 80% hardware failure. I'm not asking anyone to RMA their devices right away. I give people time to think, maybe figure out their own solution.
It's good that you are not having any problems with your Nexus 7. You should be happy and not saying that this issue is "fake". None of it is fake. Not a single bit. This is a real issue.
I hope you understand.

I've actually taken my Nexus 7 to a professional. He tried many different ROMs and Kernels but it to no avail. We tried to lower and raise the CPU clock to see if it would help: it didn't. In my case, it was a 100% hardware/mechanical failure. I didn't have any screen protectors or fancy cases for the device. It was just Luck of the Draw, that turned away from me.

Are you guys saying your fingers were no where near the screen and it was getting touches? Wow.. that is strange.
I know it is a very sensitive screen and if your fingers are very close it can sometimes trigger a touch but I don't think is what you guys mean because I dont think that is a phantom touch.
Why don't you just rma for this? It isn't normal.. I have had 2 nex 7 and have bout experienced these issues.

I just RMA'd my Asus Transformer TF700T for this problem. I got a notice yesterday that it has been repaired and shipped so I'll find out soon if it is truly fixed. I assume they replaced the digitizer.

Nexus 4 screen issue ( Not a troubleshooting topic)

Hi everyone, i would like to share a experience i've had with both of my nexus 4 ordered from the google play with you other n4 possessors.
This is not a troubleshooting topic it's just a kind of survey i'm doing.
I've received my nexus 4 in december, and i noticed there was something going on with the display, some horizontal lines stayed on the screen while i was swiping the homescreen or changing image/scrolling webpages. Then after a while i noticed there was a dark horizontal line on the left side of the screen.This line doesn't appear on white images, it can be seen more on grey or dark backgrounds, e.g. put the 4th default wallpaper and scroll all the way to the left and you should be able to see it. Also, this line became more and more marked on the screen depending on the temperature of the battery, e.g. while charging or playing heavy games or flash player. I called google play ordered a replacement and i got it the day after, turn it on, install all my apps, and the line was STILL there, also on the new device.
My question is, am I so unlucky that i've received 2 faulted devices from google or everyone has this problem? can anyone please check?
P.s. put brightness to the maximum when checking.

where is this line appearing i cant understand

On the left of the screen, horizontal dark line, it can be seen better on a gray or dark image, such as the wallpaper i suggested

The line actually appears when I'm swiping away recent apps..hadn't noticed until now. It could probably be fixed with switching roms though. I'm on JD's perfect android right now. This is my 3rd nexus device, no problems on it, 303k.

Thanks for checking justin, can you also check it again when the battery gets warmer? like just play a heavy 3d game or charge the phone. it should be more marked, sometimes i can even see it over my power control widget :crying:

Yeah my line is different I believe, I put the phone to charge and put on grand theft auto. Nothing really appeared.

Anyone else willing to check their displays and help me out?

Are you sure you don't mean vertical line? on the left side.
If so then yes mine has it.

I can't see any line on my display

oh god guys i meant Vertical..meangreenie is right.. sorry everyone, i mean vertical line on the left of the screen!

I've got 2 vertical lines on both sides of the screen (left and right) and they're not that much visible but they're always there. IT just looks as if those sides were a little bit dimmer than the rest of the screen.

I have same problem on my n4,there's grey line on left screen which more visible when the device getting heat..is it possible to disappear by itself after few time?or should i claim my warranty?thx before and sorry for my bad english

Guys I'm having the same issue. Should I claim my warranty? Or any solution to make it disappear? For me this is a very costly phone and I don't wanna take any risks. I can see the line in most apps even in chrome while typing in address bar the window greys out. At that time its perfectly visible. Its jus 1 month old n now I'm **** scared

Guys please help

I'm glad I caught this thread. I bought a refurbished Nokia wireless charging plate. I didn't have the good sense to check XDA first, and sure enough the thing has compatibility issues. I thought I'd just leave it on the plate overnight to settle in as some people have suggested, and after about an hour my screen was violently flashing on and off with pronounced vertical lines over the screen (discoloration, not a line of pixels). After a while the lines mostly faded, but I can still see them just as described in this thread when I pull down the notification tray or open any app with a grey background (like the gallery).
I just got an RMA today. I'm wondering whether we've all experienced power issues or if I just didn't notice the lines until I was looking for them.

I'm not so sure that this is even a problem that an RMA is going to fix. Like I said, I only noticed it when I was looking for it. Might just be a charactaristic of a batch of panels, more like a light leak than damage.
However, if it is damage there is no way you're fixing it without an RMA. It's clearly not a software level issue.

I thought I was the only one. Mine has it but I barely notice it anymore.

hi...

Half of screen not working

I've had a strange bug since I got the phone that I'm wondering if anyone else has seen (don't think it is hardware).
I can reproduce it every morning after I wake up. Conditions are as follows:
Phone is on the clock daydream while charging. I use Sleep As Android as my alarm. Every morning when my alarm is going off and I reach for my phone half of the screen is not working and or black.
I just had a recurrence of this in the xda app after I lost wifi connection and was exciting a thread (pressing the back button) during the handoff to LTE. Easy fix is to just hit the power button to turn the screen off then turn it back on. Works right away.
Anyone seen or read about anything similar?
Thanks!

I made a post earlier about screen touch issues and this is one of mine as well. I can't reproduce it like you can but the right half of the screen just drops off to touch.

Have you seen the half (or third) of the screen go completely black? Seriously Wtf. I've only had it happen probably 4 times.... Comes back on immediately and worms as expected if I press the power button twice.

Picked it up from tmobile on Wed morning.
Also, those issues seem different from what I read.. Screen is *completely* black and they get stuck. Mine works fine 100% except when I wake up with the prior conditions (over night, phone is on clock daydream, dimmed and I am woke up with Sleep As Android alarm). It has only happened once in any other circumstance. Also, my phone updated to LRX21O upon first boot.
At this point I can't tell if it is software or hardware... Not sure how tmobile handles this as I bought directly from them (no insurance as of yet) or if I go straight to Motorola?
I just wish I could conclusively rule out a hardware issue.

I'm having a similar issue. It seems to definitely be intermittent though. Also, I've only experienced it when my phone is in landscape mode. It goes back to normal when I flip it to portrait mode.
Did you ever find anything else out about the issue OP?

Nothing other than what is in here. Still happens to me, though much less frequently. Hoping the 5.1 update rumored for Feb solves some of the quirks.

I honestly think this is a hardware issue of some sort. I had my original Nexus 6 for weeks and throughout heavy usage, I never had any issues. The first day I received a replacement device from Google, half of my screen would freeze/go black when in landscape watching videos, playing games, and sometimes even browsing the web. This was with 100% stock ROM and kernel without root (which rules out that being an issue). I tried reflashing the stock image and the issue still persists.
I contacted the GPS customer service last night and ordered another replacement device. This is issue is certainly specific to this phone, my first device was used heavily and this never happened even once.

I am convinced it is hardware as well.
I am experiencing the same issue with my phone and opened a ticket with Google yesterday and I want mine replaced. It's not just the Nexus 6 that's suffering from this as some Droid Turbo users are experiencing it as well.

Same thing here. Tmobile 64 GB nexus 6. Bought mine from T Mobile, but they don't have a replacement to send me, so I contacted Motorola, and they sent me a new one that arrives tomorrow. I hope the same thing doesn't happen with this one.

Look on the positive side of things, 50% less battery drain due to screen usage...

I still think this is, in my case, specifically software. Other people have reported different issues that are most likely hardware, don't think mine is. Also it has only happened two or three times in the past month, seems to with screen on and rotation occurring at the same time, though I can't confirm or repro reliably.

Well, just had my replacement processed over the phone. Only potential issue is that they said it may be a refurbished device. Anyone know how/if there is a way to tell??

I am not sure if this is somehow related-but my first Nexus 6 I got from t-mobile was working fine and on the second day of owning it the touch screen stopped working! I mean it won't register any touch whatsoever! The phone was just charging and I just used it like 30min ago....tried rebooting, resetting-nothing helped-went to a t-mobile store and replaced with a new one. The second one works...for now. The strange part is that they were no issues-it worked flawlessly and all of a sudden just stopped responding to touch.
I have never experienced issues like this with any smartphone in my life-I have owned android smartphones ever since the G1 was released...

But a better way to check is to boot into the bootloader/fastboot hit valume down until you see barcode then push power.
For me the date it shows is 1 day before the date on the box. The box says 2014-11-16 bootloader says 2014-11-15.
