Screen defect? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just noticed this on my screen....it looks like some sort of discoloration. I'm running nova launcher and I'm stock, not rooted. It only appears on any grey popup dialog like the one below. Anyone know what it could be? It looks to me kinda like a background mess up on googles part on the grey popups but I could be wrong.

If it was a screen defect, it wouldn't show up in a screenshot now would it? Definitely software.

Can you guys please reply to my issue I've posted and spread the word as much as you can? We're no devs, but the best we can do is to raise awareness, because this is an issue that is unacceptable in final build stable software across multiple devices.

Good bye Kindle Fire.

Hey guys. Ahh the Kindle Fire. My first android tablet and obviously not my last it did me so good but now I'm gonna have to give it to my dad I just bought myself a nexus 7. I have to admit you guys made that old piece of s*** amazon firmware into something I never thought could work. you made that kindle into something that I never thought it could be but still I have to admit the nexus 7 is just so much better and I'll probably still be here but I'm gonna be over the nexus seven forums more. Thank you guys so much you have helped show me just why android triumphs over iOS.
ANDROID ON!!!

If you dove into the Google/Android world and ended up mad because you were the product then you must have had your eyes closed.

People are just too paranoid about this kind of crap. So they collect information and target ads based on your interests. Would you prefer blind random ads?
I'll have to give Google a call tomorrow so I know where to send the tin foil hat I just made for you.

If you are truly paranoid...you would not be on this board. I love my KF...and Android....and Google. Does @pple offer anything open source? You have to sign up for EVERYTHING nowadays, so how does one omit themselves from the data collection? Get off everything and live off the grid. I'd rather mull around and see what trouble I can cause, and devices I can root. I'm getting the N7 too...but my KF still has years of use in my household. All I have to do is leave it in plain sight, and people gravitate like monkies to bananers.

There's no way to avoid it man. Almost everything you do with technology can be traced.

Uhhh.... Apple tracking fiasco? Are you talking about the one where Google circumvented Safari's privacy settings and was subsequently fined 4 million for?
Google is doing some scary stuff if u want to look at the privacy settings for Chrome extensions made by Google. I completely understand the viewpoint of wanting nothing to do with Google. I no longer use Gmail or Google Docs for this reason.
I'm willing to take some privacy risks because Android is better than iOS.

Talk about thread jacked...wow?! To the OP...nice gesture giving the Kindle to your Pop...got mine that way and it's a great gift. It's so true how all the Dev's have made this a fun device to own and have fun with that N7. I see the development going very well...I'm thinking about making the same move soon!
Google knows you....very well.....

Flash on nexus 7...really annoying i when I can't view websites

So is there a way I can have flash on the nexus 7?
Is dissapointing that can't watch some web pages..I bought this not to turn on my PC and I still need to go to my pc, so what's the point of this piece of crap?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There are several guides on how to this on here.
Load an alternate browser like Firefox or the AOSP browser (look in themes and apps section) and side load the Flash apk ..which has been posted multiple times shouldn't be hard at all to find it.

Exactly.
Did you not read anything about the device before or after you bought it. Everyone knew flash wasn't available for jellybean before. And there are workarounds found after.

But before you return it, check it for screen lift, dead pixels, etc. and then if it's in perfect shape, go ahead and post where you are returning it to, so people who are hunting for their own N7 can actually get one
Dont get me wrong, I love my nexus, no way I am giving it back !!!
Is just that when my wife is using it, she comes across some flash sites, and she says " this doesn't work, I don't know why you expend $200 on this"

Be a man and tell her that she should be more interested in making you a sandwich than watching a flash video

[Q]Screen like Surface tablet

Hey everyone I really like the Surface tablet lockscreen I believe it is. I was wondering if a lockscreen app like that is available or how to make a regular screen like that. To include email notifs and calendar like it does. Its a rather simple looking one : [http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/windows-8-lock-screenrtm-1344973244.jpg].

Not possible. 4.2 and higher is/will be just completely incompatible with the nexus 7, no matter what. Google decided they didnt like the nexus 7 anymore

He's being facetious, since this is an asinine thread. Remember the adage- ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer? The OP is deserving of a facepalm, so it seems his naivety was played upon.

It has been proven, "facetious" and "satire" don't work on public forums.
Forums only activate the lowest 10 percent of available brain cells.
Only thing lower would be Yahoo news report reader comments.

The Question is Do you need Root Today.\?
You do not have to ask permission to root or not..With this being a nexus and knowing you made backups(well even if you did not) you can very easily go back to Stock or near stock.
I think google is going to skip the 42 update . They are may be afraid someone will have a heart attack caused by over excitment for the push of the file.. They will delay it to a less enthusiastic time...

(Q) Where did the AXI0M thread go?

I just woke up, and now I can't find the AXI0M ROM thread. What happened?
Edit: After having a nasty surprise, it turns out he posted pictures of his c**k on the forums.

The ROM has been removed from XDA, so no reason to continue to discuss it.
