Ok so I got my prime when it was first released and had an issue with the touch screen selecting multiple numbers when using the SwiftKey app but I though that it was just the app. I started playing great big war game and noticed that I couldn't get any of the guys I would select that were in the middle of the screen to recognized my touch again I thought it the app. It wasn't really until tonight that I noticed using a third app that the middle of my screen seems to have a dead space. I turned on the debugging mode option to show taps and low and behold right In the middle of the screen is a dead spot. If I slide my finger from one side to the other hand slowly at the middle of the screen I get two dots on either side of my finger as if I'm touching those two spots at the same time but my finger is really in the middle of the two. That's the only place that it does it. Does anyone else have this issue? I took a screen shot of the two spots so you can see.
Suggestions? Similar issues?

I just got my Gtab about a week ago, put some vegan on it and I'm loving it. I just have one issue, and I'm wondering if I got a defective one.
For the most part touch sensitivity is great and I don't mind only having two touch points, but occasionally (30-40% of the time) when I try to pinch and zoom, it doesn't respond at all. I tried the multitouch tester, and it looks like anytime two fingers touch at the same time it struggles to recognize both touches. This is anywhere on the screen, not just two fingers close together. I've tried using the touchscreen fix app but its always the same.
Is my unit bad, or is this how the Gtablet always behaves? If it is, its not the end of the world, but I'd like to know before my exchange period is over.
I have found that if you are going perfectly horizontal in landscape mode, or vertical in portrait mode, the device struggles to pick up the multi-touch, however it works great in any other angle. discovered it playing sliceit
Mine doesn't seem to be affected by the angle. As far as I can tell it's a total crap shoot.
Have you tried pressing one finger first then resting the other on the screen a small amount of time later and then continuing with the pinch zoom maneuver? I found that this trick gets it working every time. Oh and don't have your fingers yo close together; half inch or so.

Additionally the cleaner the screen the more responsive the multi-touch, single touch. a few smudges, and its a crap shoot. I keep a oakley glass cleaner in the case, and am constantly buffing the glass.
Not sure how to explain the problem and if I had a better camera I would take a picture to illustrate.
I've had my TF700 for about 3 days now and just noticed a 1 pixel wide line that is about 1.5 inches long, running horizontally about 1/3 of the way down from the top when holding the tablet with the ASUS logo on the top and is right smack-dab in the center. The line appears on every application so I'm guessing it is a hardware issue. The line is most noticeable when the screen is displaying a white background. Yet, all the colors are displayed correctly. I can even see the line when the power is off and I'm holding the screen at the right angle in the light. I do have a Zagg screen protector on the tablet but I don't want to take it off to see if that is problem.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem and should I get the tablet replaced?
Ok there are some pictures that I took hopefully the line is apparent on them.
Anyone else experiencing this? (note the redbox is not the problem, but where the problem is located.)
That would drive me crazy - I would definitely return for a new one or RMA (depending on how long ago you purchased it)... That is *not* normal....

I've JUST got this, down the left side on my 2 day old tab. I believe it is because my screen is seated badly and probably has been the insides somehow. Contacted amazon.de they will replace it as they have stock now.

As I examine the screen closer, I'm seeing a bunch of these lines. Sucks big time. Well it's going back.
I notice a small (3mm x 3mm ) spotty blemish (four tiny dots arranged like the new windows icon) on the screen, probably in the actual LCD (cannot touch it).
It is only visible when the screen displays white.
I suppose this is a manufacturing defection. Anything else about the screen seems fine. quite solid build, except for negligible 0.5mm give on the left edge.
Anything else I should particularly check for? Shall I exchange it at bb?
There is really no anything else as big and as light as tf700, right?
Thanks.
Hello.
Not sure if we talking about same issue but I also have this white dot, almost like a dead pixel but it isn't. Its possible to be seen only when white background and easier to spot when viewing from side, not straight ahead.
I believe this is what is called hot pixel.
Bad thing about this is that I first had 1, then 2. Then I returned it. Asus said no problems. Now I have 4 and I am seriously considering to returing this. Just that I need my tablet for work and I know for Asus it takes over 2 weeks to consider what they would do.
Probably when not so hectic at work I will go and try returning again.
I have on right hand side some loosening. If I press the screen where is the volume buttons I can feel it moves. It is the only place of the tablet where this kind of movement can be spotted.
Yet 3 of the hot pixels are on the left side of the tablet. The newest one is close to middle but a bit more to right side.
I'll definitely return mine to Best Buy, but a bit debating whether I shall stick with tf700t after all.
Any clue whether there is any systematic difference between retailers / batches of s/n's ?

So I have 4 p925s that I have bought to repair. I decided to update 3 of them to the latest 4.0.4. Everything went smoothly except I noticed 2 of them the touch screen no longer responded after the update. When I touch the screen the soft keys light up as if it recognizes that I am touching it but it does not respond otherwise. One of the phones I had previously had the "show touches" in the developer options and I noticed that if I touched with one finger it would not show up but it 2 fingers it responded however it was chaotic and not as it should (I touch left of screen it shows touch on right. I move fingers up it goes left or down)
after swapping hardware around I noticed that the screens worked on the phone I did not update perfectly and the screen that worked on the 3rd updated phone worked on all three so I know its not the screens. What I figured out is the the screens that didn't work on the updated phones were replacement screens (ebay bought) and the only screens that did work were original screens that were oem.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue other then the obvious "buy oem glass and digitizer"

Hello all,
Recently i dropped my phone probably around 20 times in a single day. the glass got cracked deeply in the bottom right corner, only the grey portion were it has the lg logo is affected, its not even close to the actual lcd screen.
so, while the display and the touch both work absolutely fine, there is a box that takes up about 1/16th of the screen, which displays the entire screen in the same scale. if i rotate the phone sideways, then the box flips sideways. i can also drag the box to any part of the screen i like. i would post a screenshot, however it appears that i "cannot take screenshots".
I'm assuming this has to be a feature to help people who's phones have cracked screens, but i cannot find any information about it at all.
Is anyone familiar with this?

Your phone does not know if it's screen is cracked or not ;p.
It's a setting that's been enabled which is for accessibility , one handed mode, or something to that effect

yeah i've checked both of them but there's nothing in accessibility or one handed mode about this feature. i might be able to post a picture of this in an hour or two.

It's called mini view. It's when you scroll across back, home, recent.

This seems close, however still not the same feature, I tried using mini view and nothing happened.
Here are some visuals

bumping for more help,
small update, if i double tap the box and drag to the top left i can make it a little bit smaller, opposite direction makes it larger.

Just perform a factory reset if it goes away then it was definitely something that got enabled in settings or an app running.
You can enable a simulated secondary display in Developer Options. Check to see if another box is ticked instead of the "None" option
