Photosphere not working - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Is anyone else having problems with photosphere not working? It won't get past the calibration part.

I tried in portrait and mines didn't freeze then either. I'm stock out the box not rooted.

I have the same problem.....returning it tonight hoping the next one doesn't have any of the other issues

Just found out that mine doesn't pass through the aligning part either. I wonder how many more people have this issue..

Photosphere doesn't work on my Nexus either.

I have this same issue... And I am wondering if it's a bug or we are just doing something wrong? Mine didn't work completely stock and now it's not working on PA.
Any updates on this issue?

same problem here, i tried several accelerometers and gyroscopes tests and it seems to work well but when I try to take a photosphere it stays in calibrating.

It is really strange, it seems like a hardware issue but when I do the testing either gaming o with Z-device test app everything is working just like my Nexus 4 :S.

Alright I guess I'm taking mine back and asking for a replacement.

Took mine back got a new one. Issue resolved. It's a defect for sure

Same problem here too!
Edit: Here's a screenshot

Seems to be on the same angle as the OP's
According to the sticker on the box, mine was manufactured China 2013.07

Same problem for me too. Completely stock.

Tried it today:
No probs on mine . . .
Batch 2013-08 China, bought in Germany

Just wondering, particularly if photo sphere isn't working on your nexus 7 2013, if you install AccelermoterTest does the ball move to the bottom left corner - even when the device is on flat ground? Mine does... maybe hardware fault?

Be prepared to possibly get one with worse, or different problems.
I think I lucked out and got a pretty good one, first buy. But I have heard a lot of people saying it takes their 3rd or 4th phone before they get one that's just right.

It's really not a "defect", per se, it's just what these screens do. If you get a replacement, it's going to have the same problem eventually as well. Just kinda have to accept it for these types of displays.

If changing software doesn't fix an issue it's usually hardware which you can't change. If you're still under warranty then try to get it repaired/replaced.

[Q] Camera not working.

I bought this phone a few months ago and knew ahead of time the camera had previous issues. Thing is, it appears to be both hardware AND software related. The front camera works for face unlock in certain roms. The camera app on any rom results in it opening but when pressing anything in the camera I get a freeze and a force close. Same goes for any app that tries to use the led flash. Has anyone had something similar to this issue? Im curious what the cause is, also, has anyone tried physically swapping the part out and can give any tips?

Seems to be a hardware issue. Have you tried checking the connection on the motherboard? I have never had issues with software unless I forgot to check hardware connections.

Yeah I just ordered a tool kit with the screws required. Gonna take a look at it and hopefully If it works I can turn quite a profit. I bought this phone for 40 dollars.

Took the phone apart and checked the camera. I replugged it back in and it still did not work. Order a new camera for 10 dollars on ebay and will try again.

If that doesn't work, you should do a one click restore to stock. That could possibly fix it.

Update : Ordered a new camera, came about 10 minutes ago in the mail. I replaced it and everything is working fine. For future reference. I'd the back camera does not work, neither will the flash. My flash did not work until I replaced the faulty camera.

[ISSUE] Random Reboots

So, I've had my new N7 for a full day now and I have had about 5 random reboots that I have noticed. Anyone else getting this? Also my calendar app isn't syncing for some reason, get the sync error. Thinking a factory reset is already in order, but just wondering if I am the only one.

Mine kept doing this yesterday. Today, I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't boot up. Charging wouldn't even work! I didn't even unlock the bootloader or anything yet... Oh well, returned to Best Buy for now! At least they take it back NQA.
I've had one random reboot since I got it yesterday

I experienced about 3 random reboots within a 3 hour window yesterday but throughout today its fine(NO REBOOTS AT ALL)
UPDATE- Just had a reboot while watching Netflix. I think this is an issue with the android 4.3 on the nexus 7(2013) and not the actual tablet itself

Well i believe you jinxed me because shortly after reading this I had a hard reboot. I attempted to dump a last kmsg but it is not enabled in the stock kernel. I also saw that after reboot my SwiftKey was all messed up. I am rooted and unlocked. I am wondering if the way that SU is integrated into the system is what is causing these issues.

I don't think root is the cause of these reboots. My nexus 7 has rebooted twice already and it is completely stock as I have only used it for 2 hours so far. I installed both updates too.

Bought a 32gb and a 16gb on Friday. My 32 has been flawless. My wife's 16 has been getting reboots quite often. Will probably return it. Just wondering if this is a 16gb problem or is it affecting both current models?
My 32gig havnt gotten any rrs since allday yesterday to now running good

I don't think this is a widespread issue yet. Something software wise was wonky. Battery drain was crazy, screen wasn't even showing up in the battery stats. New one has been flawless though. Crazy good battery and no reboots * knock on wood*

Thanks for the reply. Ya I am getting about an hour of screen on time per 10% battery drain. Battery exceeds expectations since it is a higher resolution screen, and a smaller battery compared to the previous generation. We found a office Max with one so we are just going to exchange the 16gb model and hope we don't get another wonky one.

Have you tried resetting? If you have, does it still do it?
If so, maybe take it back and ask for an exchange. It shouldn't do what you're describing.
Good luck!
Nope I won't exchange this unlocked bad boy. Maybe a reset but it hadn't happened yet

No, you wouldn't. To lock, you do fastboot oem lock. Also, if he still has his unlock token, he can always re-unlock.

It has inadvertently turned off data use. Mine did the same thing. Flip it into airplane mode, flip it off. I hope the bugs I am finding get fixed along with signal and battery life.
I've unlocked mine and some icon's have randomly moved screens. Not sure whats up with that.
Also today on my drive home I got the wonderful Droid DNA faint ringing thing (Google it). I'm assuming it was a temp warning? as the phone was warm since I was using google maps, streaming pandora, and taking some pictures of the sights every once in a while, all while it was plugged into the car charger.
Annoying thing is it wasn't just out of the handset. the constant faint ringing goes through bluetooth audio also so my pandora and navigation CONSTANTLY has this stupid ringing going on.
I disabled fastboot and shut it down when I got on a road that I needed to stay one for 100+ miles to cool off, powered back on and didn't do as much at the same time (Switched to my iPad to stream pandora) and it seemed to work fine for the next 5 hours. still not doing it as of now.
Anyone have anymore info on that faint ringing?
Wondering if this is a bug or just not something the ONE is capable of.
Focusing well, especially in Macro Mode. My previous HTC phones focused as close as 2 or 3 inches. My ONE has to be at least 8+ to focus.
