I got my Nexus 7 three days ago. It seems like sometimes when it's charging and I pick it up, the screen turns itself on. But I can't seem to purposely reproduce this behavior and I'm wondering if maybe I'm just hitting the power button without realizing it. Likewise, once or twice it seems to have put itself into sleep when I set it down. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Mine has done this with me as well. There was one guy who posted that it had happened to him, but it was to do with a magnetic case. I've not got round to getting a case for mine yet, and there have been times where I've picked it up, 100% sure i haven't hit the power button, and the screen has come on....

This has happened with me too, turns out it was coming on when I left it charging on top of a speaker... Sometimes the screen wasn't coming on at all even if I pressed the power button numerous times.

Funny...come to think of it, the auto-off happened when I set it on my iPad, which is in a magnetic case.
P.S. - Am I allowed to say "iPad" in this forum?

Well when my n7 was switching itself on, it was sitting on a pillow on my bed, nowhere near any magnets. And when it happened I manually switched the screen off, put it back down again, and was able to repeat it again and again. So unless my pillows are magnetic...

Have you tried talking to her about Android development? A lengthy treatise on the pros and cons of HTML5 vs. native should scare her off!

That's actually a very good idea, something along those lines, I'd need to bore her with a subject that won't immediately let her know that I'm taking the p155, but having just got my n7, I could maybe just start talking to her all the time about it and nothing else lol
Who would have thought you'd even get relationship (avoidance) advice here on XDA
Thanks!!!

My be your bed company is "magnetic"? kidding!
I got twice this effect when at bed. And I found it perfect to wake the device in the dark because the start button is not so easy to get and very often is opposite to your available finger!
I had that before, but not since I upgraded to 4.2 I think.
It's a really cool feature, I hope Google add it.
I had this happen a few times as well. Try putting your device to sleep and wiggling the USB cable where it plugs into the N7. If you plug the charger in while the screen is off, the screen will turn on. I know mine doesn't have a real solid connection and if I pick it up while it's charging, it will sometimes cause the cable to lose its connection for a second or so and then move back into position, causing the N7 to essentially think you're plugging the charger in. You might see if that's what's happening with yours as well. I figured I was the only one and it wasn't a big deal so I've just been careful about picking it up while charging or transferring data.

When it happened to me there was no cable plugged in, and I was able to switch the screen back off, put it down again, and pick it up and make the screen come on again. Definitely never pressed any buttons or had it near any magnets.
I think it was before I had upgraded though. Some people say this would actually be a nice feature, and until you remember that everywhere you take your n7 away from home its gonna be switching on and of all the time in your pocket/car etc it would be....

I fully agree, but this feature will and must only be for in "home" use. So not active when lock screen is enabled.
When I'm at home is the main time that I do need the screen lock lol, if I'm out it's usually in my pocket.. The auto screen on would be a good feature at home though, I'm just not sure how it could be implemented.
Oh, wait, I just thought of something It's entirely possible right now. I could use my nice new app called Tasker, and set it up to tell the screen to come on when it feels movement. What's more, if I want it to only happen at home, I can tell it to only work when GPS says I'm home, or simpler, tell it to only do it when I'm connected to my home WiFi network. Tasker is a cool app.

Is it possible for the proximity sensor to go bad? When I was using my vivid, I had an otterbox on it, and I thought that was what was causing the issue. My wife wanted wifi tethering so when I got my Nexus 4, I wiped it, left wcx experience on it, and gave it to her. Now she's having issues with it too. Known fix?
Really how does a proximity sensor go bad, there's no moving parts!

I know it has only an on-off function it doesnt detect the distance so try putting your finger right on it in a call does it work?
I'll give that a try. It still works somewhat, I know the buttons will light up if you cover it for a couple seconds, just sometimes it'll shut off the screen during a call, sometimes not so much. I wonder if it's a rom issue

Use power button to end call in access ability settings.

I thought before that when I used the speakerphone on my One that it would come from both the bottom and top speakers, but right now it's only coming from the bottom one. Am I crazy, or was it not coming from both before?
Yea man both of mine work when on speakerphone but I am running the 4.2 beta so idk if it's different .....does music play from both?

Bone stock and both of mine are playing while on a call and speaker phone enabled.

Hey guys. My screen remains dark and locked while phone calls are coming through. The phone rings, but I have to unlock it to see whom is calling. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
That's not normal, you most likely have a application or toggled something on to prevent your screen from turning on

I don't think so. I've discovered the issue is not just limited to my device. On the Nexus forums people are having the same issues. This doesn't happen 100% of the time either.
2 weeks and it's a paperweight. Touch screen wouldn't respond to any touches, although the s pen still worked and could work the phone.
Waiting on ATT to send me a replacement next week.

what happened?
The touchscreen just stopped responding. Wouldn't work for almost 2 hours. Shut it off and let it sit and it eventually starting working, but it's sporadic, as some times I have to press the screen 3 or more times to do anything.

Nothing worked except using the s pen. It's like it over heated and shut the touchscreen down. Either way, I'm getting a replacement. I'm really kinda pissed about this.

Test Touch Screen by dialing *#0*# play game to warm it up and then try to test it
:good:
Like I said, I woke up after 12 hours without being touched and it wouldn't work. When it does work, it registers touches instead of swipes, and is almost impossible to do anything.
