Best Buy has a test to check your touchscreen!! - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Download the Geeksquad app. I watched him run the test in front of me.
It showed a horizontal dead spot one the upper portion of my screen.
I hate to say this guys, but the employees were aware of the problem and told me that they believe it is a hardware problem.
Don't shoot the messenger - It's what I was told.
They took it back outside of the 15 day return window and issued me a full store credit.
I'll wait and see how people like the new LG G Pad.
Good luck!!

Is this the app being referenced?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one

Could someone please post the apk, its not available in my country

For those in other countries, here is the apk:

Thanks for the apk. I just ran the test and all it let's me do is test 5 areas of the screen and multi touch in top third. Am I missing something because I don't see a full screen test.

Same here.

Sorry guys, been at work.
Turn the tablet horizontal and try to drag the screen all the way to the right upwards.....Mine did nothing...
The manager even came and checked it out.....then gave me the nod - YES!!!

I have just completed the touch screen fix and it worked! I also could not complete the Greek squad test holding it horizontally. I had ghost touches, dragging issues and now my touch screen works flawlessly.

Maybe it is software..... I have no idea, just the opinion of Best Buy employees.
I hope they fix it, I'll still never buy anything from Google or ASUS - terrible service.
They ran from the problem.

If you don't have any daily issues I recommend to not try this app, I don't have any issues overall with my n7 and don't want them either.
Don't look for the issues

Totally agree. I haven't noticed any issues with my N7 and don't want to, haha.

I'm not sure what I'm missing but the app doesn't do anything different when being held horizontally....

Is that a live camera image or just your wallpaper?
Kinda sucks that its not tilted towards the driver.
No build thread? How did you get it installed? Integrate it into the speakers? Is that camera live? Did you leave the factory unit behind the Transformer?
Not a back up cam, if they make it, it will be on it soon.
Its not facing the driver, just in case there are 5 other people in the truck, but I almost did that!
Head unit is above it, the A/C controls were moved below cup holder... will post picks of the whole build once I
get home...
Galaxy tab used to be intalled before and a 10",7" screens before that, so is has been a long going project...

Clean install, major props.
Actually you don't need to turn it towards the driver because the viewing angle is so good on this thing.
looks great.
to tilt maybe something like a tv mount with an arm that ca be extended out..?
(not sure if those exists for something like a tablet)
This looks awesome..
Tilt mount sounds good, I'll try to fabricate a smaller version n see how it works!

[Q] Has anyone else found that Google wallet works on N7?!

Just for fun I decided to try to sign into Wallet. I didn't have any faith that it works since it doesn't work on my Evo LTE. Not only did it activate, it showed $10 in my account. What was interesting was that the $20 I loaded onto the phone does not show on the tablet. Obviously, it's device dependent.

it was all over the web several days ago
I can't wait to look so cool at Starbucks by swiping my tablet to pay.
I read about the update but I missed the part where someone said it works. I have it on my phone and it doesn't work, despite being one of the features that was played up.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
It should work. It was pushed out and can make payments without being connected to the internet.
As a matter of fact, I activated it on my gnex and I got the ten dollar credit. I used it with no problem. Today I got my Nexus 7 and set it up, and got another ten dollar credit. The gnex shows balance zero, the 7 says ten dollars. For what it's worth, if you set up wallet on a rooted device, there is a warning art the top of every screen that the device is not supported for security reasons. Everything still works fine though!

Some how crack my screen with out cracking glass?

Hey guys so my 2 year old loves this tablet and uses it more than me. But to learn sign language and of course angry birds
Can I fix it is my question?
It looks fine no cracks in screen at all look at the photo showing the damage under the glass. I think his little foot put just enough pressure on it to break it..

There is a link for part numbers. It was under something like "making the 500 a 501" or something like that. I really can't remember. But I managed to do searches and find it awhile back.
Somebody played with the idea of making an a500 into an a501.
But you'll have to search. It's there.
As far as a web site with acer parts, I know of none.

App Drawer Messed Up By Aliens

As you can clearly see, the first page in my app drawer is not even filled. There are two more pages in the drawer (clearly needed since I have more apps than shown, and they all only fill up that far. I'm going to reboot to see if that fixes it, but I wanted to share this odd occurrence before doing so and to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
FYI, I am unrooted running 4.2.1. I had just bought the thunderstorm live wallpaper and had the free version installed, when it gave me an error about already being installed. I ignored it, set up the wallpaper the way I wanted it and then opened the app drawer to this. I have no apps disabled. LOL.
I'm not saying it's aliens... But it's aliens.
You're using the stock launcher?

That would be my first question as well. Holo hd would sometimes sort of switch to horizontal when I use vertical continuous and it would be stuck on the first screen. Switching to the home screen and back would fix it.

Yeah sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using the stock launcher. I rebooted, and sure enough it went back to normal, but it was weird while it lasted.

Unless you put it in a case. But I'd say if you have that big of a problem with it, take it to the store and exchange it.

Worried because I thought I may have bought one that was returned or the factory workers played football with it
If it's the norm, I don't care
