Has anyone noticed their NC is very sensitive to water on the screen? I find even if the tiniest few drops of misty rain land on it, it's fine for a few seconds and then once I try touching it, the screen totally glitches out and starts detecting spurious touches. If I sleep the screen and turn it back on, that usually fixes it.
In a city like Vancouver this could end up being a deal breaker ;-) I don't expect a water proof tablet but my touch phones like the Milestone and Nexus One have typically withstood little bits of moisture on the screen without impairing usability.
Repeatable test: Open MultiTouch Tester, wet your finger. Swipe it around the perimeter of the screen a few times. Wait a few seconds. Repeat. Wait a few seconds. At some point when you aren't touching the screen, you'll start to see spurious touches appearing on the screen. If you wait even longer for those touches to stop, then the screen will become totally insensitive to all input. Sleep and back on fixes it.
Theyre called screen protectors.. use em.

Can someone confirm if the same behaviour persists with a screen protector?
I don't own a screen protector but I tried putting a piece of plastic wrap over top to test the behaviour. I wet my finger and trace a few circles on the screen through the wrap. I still get the spurious touches even though the water never contacts the screen. The moment I lift up the wrap, the spurious touches stop but the screen is again unresponsive. I have to sleep it off and on before it works again.
Since all screen protectors are some type of plastic or other, I have a feeling this problem would still happen with a protector.
And here is my video showing the "experiment" (no protector/wrap).

Again, same results with plastic in between the water and the screen.

Had the same problems but putting on a screen protector fixed it. No random touches. No need to turn the screen off/on. So much better.
Using this one.
confirmed. it still does it will screen protector. tested with ipad and itouch too see if this was a capacitive screen issue. water had no effect on those too devices. Doesn't really matter because I don't plan using this device outside in the rain.
Well I wouldn't take it out in a torrential storm, but sometimes it's just "spitting" out as it often is in the Pacific northwest, and I'm reading a book or article at the bus stop. And then suddenly it's flipping random pages or launching unwanted apps.

This is probably related to the common phantom touches people get. I know my nook some times register random touches from hovering fingers up to an inch from the screen.
Too much dirt/grease on the screen will also do it. The screen on the NC is (by default) very sensitive.. There are a few methods to "calibrate it", some of which say if you're touching it while calibrating the sensitivity goes down.
I've seen this several times myself, and yeah it's annoying because it goes NUTS. One time I had it remove an app from my launcher, launch another app, then change some settings. I was like wtff gaaahhhhh
No screen protector on mine.. I usually do on devices, just haven't on this one yet.
It's a capacitive screen. A drop of water can make the screen behave strangely because the capacitance of the screen changes where the water is. Multiple drops of water will drive the screen nuts. This isn't new. If you hands are too dry the screen won't register the touch.
It is how they work.......
BN brand matte (anti-glare) screen protector has completely, I mean 100% no lie, fixed this problem for me. In addition, the screen loses it's "tackiness". It's a pleasure using the screen now.
I've seen some threads about this on other tabs, like the Galaxy Tab 10.1, but not on the Asus tablets yet. On my TF701T, I noticed over the past month that when I take it out of the case I have for it (a neoprene case with a zipper), it has a spot in the middle about the size of two quarters that looks like moisture under the glass.
Within a few seconds of turning it on (and sometimes not even turning it on), it disappears by quickly getting smaller and smaller into the center.
All of this, not a big deal.
However, last night I saw something even more odd....the spot disappeared with the exception of a ring of moisture (instead of a full circle) that stayed and wouldn't go away (again, slightly larger than a quarter). Touching parts of the screen would jiggle the ring. It seems like something was happening in the LCD display.
In the past when it went away, I assumed the screen was warming up and causing it to go away. However since it didn't this time, I thought something was damaged.
I saw a bizarre thread somewhere that suggested to put it in the fridge or freezer for a short time and the cooling would make it go away....if I remember correctly, it may have implied that the LCD and digitizer where touching or stuck together. I figured, what the heck, I stuck it in the freezer for a few minutes. When I got it out, it was nice an cold, and the spot was gone.
Has anyone seen this? Anyone know anything about what this would occur and why the cold would fix it?
Thanks,
chris
I had exactly the same issue you described. The moisture spot would always go away eventually. However, one day, while in use, the screen suddenly died. The tablet was still working fine (confirmed with an hdmi cable). I was unlocked, so the tablet became useless. I have no idea if the moisture and screen failures were related or not, but if you are not unlocked, I'd probably try to get it repaired.
I suspect that what you and I have is a gap between the LCD and the digitizer. We have (3) tf701t's in our house now and no moisture spots yet on any of them.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, good to know. I am unfortunately already rooted and running sbdags rom. It is interesting that it only happens when I have had it in the case for a little while. Hadn't happened again for about a week, but started happened again last night. Fortunately, it went away on its own again very quickly. Oh well, it is what it is.

I have also noticed the same spot after pulling my tablet out of the neoprene case. I have been getting itchy to root but now I will hold off. Maybe I should try the freezer fix?
Thanks for post!
ASUS Tf701 moisture ring center of glass
I had this happen in the past, but it always went away when I turned the tablet on. I always store it in a leather case, the screen never touches anything. It recently came back and will not go away. I've been reading threads about putting it in the freezer for a short time....my question is, how long have people left it in there, 2 minutes, 5 minutes? The spot is driving me crazy since it now won't go away.
Thanks for your assistance!

I have the same problem with my TF701T. But I noticed it isn't moisture between the screen but digitizer and the LCD screen touching eachother? If you bend the tablet really slightly towards you, you'll see the "moisture" go away. Don't have to apply too much force. Might be just design flaw IMO.
Anyone else seem to have a problem with the ambient light/proximity sensor on their N6? I've noticed that a lot of times when i make calls, the screen won't shut off when i put the phone to my head... often with that resulting in my cheek touching something, and the person on the other end not being able to hear me. If i leave the phone at an angle against my ear so my cheek doesn't touch the screen, eventually the screen will shut off, but won't come on when i take the phone away from my ear, resulting in me having to press the power button to turn the screen back on.
Had that happen to me yesterday ... Rebooted and it hasn't happened today.

I'm having a issue now. Phone call comes in and screen stays on. I did a reboot, factory reset even installed custom ROM. It was working the other day. Anyway to calibrate this thing? Or do we have a bad sensor.
Also now my phone won't rotate screen.

Do any of you happen to have a screen protector on? As there have been some users that have been reporting issues with certain screen protectors. I believe most are tempered glass protectors that are the cause of the problems.
I took mine off and still nothing.

Did you try going to settings , accessibility , power button ends call, toggle that on and off.
We own two new Nexus 6 devices that are rooted and decrypted. We have the same issue where the phone screen stays on during a call. Rebooting fixes for a short period (hours or so) but the problem comes back. Other threads show this to be an issue with other phones (nexus 5) with Lollipop. Not sure of a fix. These devices are only a few weeks old so it is not a dust issue.
Having the same issue that just suddenly started. Rebooting does not seem to help.
Happening here too. Frustrating.
My screen turns off when taking the phone to the ear but it doesn't turn on again after i take it away from my ear.
It's pretty bad on my phone. The screen turns on when I am on a call making the notification bar drop down. Also, the phone doesn't wake up when I pull the phone away from my fasce 80% of the time. When I am on a call the phone randomly vibrates like I am getting a notification and when I look I have nothing. With all of this going on, making phone calls on this device is a nightmare.
Restore clean wipe did nothing.

The below mentioned fix is for brand new Nexus 6.

After completing the above mentioned step. Reboot your phone and try making a call. I hope the issue get resolved.
I tried this step on an unrooted phone, which was recieved just yesterday.
I got this fix from some other thread.

What app
Orzly works fine... It doesn't cover the sensor. The Slimwrap orange vinyl (leather) face was a problem for me, had to enlarge the cutout to get suitable performance. I believe the sensor is longer than it is wide, the opposite of the factory cutout? It frames the face of the phone nicely with this screen protector on and I didn't want to take it off. The 24mm added height changes the profile of the phone alot, it no longer rests on the speaker bars/guards. This must also have effected placing the wrap on as well. The larger cutout box for the sesnor is a detractor, but the sensor works 100%. This is good , as it is my intention to run nekid with this phone but its size precludes using a case with any of the pockets I currently own.

Thanks I was just having a crazy time trying to install the front, similar case (glass protector in front) and ended up cutting a hole for the proximity sensor about 2 times the factory height, everything (seems) normal now. I used this program to help make the minimum cut, and align correctly. Did you run into any issues with the thin left & right vertical part of the front cover? Mine seems to "wrap" around the glass protector, not sure if it will stay there though
Distance of 10 cm from the phone fell to the ground from the top left corner of contact with the ground, and then found the phone's gravity sensor failure, and in the upper and lower unresponsive, about normal use, in addition there is the screen of the camera upside down, pictures are reversed, other each sensor can work, I have been reluctant to believe that this is a hardware problem, it encountered?

Most likely a hardware issue. I read somewhere a long time ago that this happened to another person. He said he fixed it by hitting it again and the sensor started working again. Although I can't recommend hitting your phone.

haha yes i do my friends is but i don't think that will be better

I have friends, is one such issue, but also gravity sensor, and fell once, an unexpected result normal

This happened to me when I dropped my phone. Result, wouldn't switch to landscape mode. Got home and dropped it on the table a few times (Have an otterbox on it) and it unstuck the sensor. Phone works fine now. This is a pretty common occurrence with 'dropped' phones..
Hi everyone. I got my new Moto X 2014 (XT1092) just a few days ago, and I managed to drop it already. It fell upright, from abou 20-30cm height, and hit with the bottom on the floor. No signs, cracks or anything.
After a while I relaised that the camera was upside down (both moto app and google) an couldn't turn in landscape mode. I read about it in several forums, so i hit it on me knee, relatively hard, and it was indeed fine after that. Everything works as expected now.
I play some games and I played one game which made problems with my phone's glass - Petroleum Tycoon.
So I was playing it couple hrs a day non-stop because I played with my friend. After couple of minutes (5-10) non-stopping I could feel hotness in that particular place where I swipe. I played it maybe 1-2 weeks. After these weeks I saw that in my swiping area there was a visible mark which does not prevent from working but when turning screen off and pointing screen to light or sunlight you can see it. Is there any magical cure which will remove that mark back?
I tried to clean the screen but after I touch it all over the screen it's visible again.
Sorry for poor quality photo because I don't have a camera or phone with good camera(And I don't have my tablet)

There are liquids to clean screen, if it doesn't work you can try a little isoprpyl alcohol. If it does not work, the glass coating was removed, maybe a screen protector (plastic or glass) can make it less visible.
