So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

that happened to me when I charged the phone using my wife's blackberry charger...
This kinda sucks because I have a feeling it's a hardware issue, I'm over my 14 days and I'm scared that I might get a phone with LOS. Damn I thought I almost got away with a problem free epic.......

Is the power button hard to press for anyone else? I have to press it kind of hard and to get the correct angle at it when compared to my 2012 N7
I'm finding that to be the case as well. I'm thinking we'll get used to it as we start using the devices more.

I find that it helps if you "pinch" the side of the tablet with your thumb and forefinger. Since the button is angled back at 45 degrees, it needs to be pushed both forward (toward you) and left. Bracing your thumb on the front of the device (bezel) will help your index finger pull at this angle. But yeah even then it is finicky. Helps to make sure you push the button in the center exactly. A little too high or low and it doesn't click as well.

Yes, I don't like the power button either

The only reliable way I've found to turn it on is to turn it face down and then press the button. I only seem to have problems when starting from a shutdown, not when just waking it up.
yeah, same. i wish it were more like the old nexus 7

Same here. I put my thumb on the side of the display and my index finger on the power button and kinda push them together.
Definitely could have made it easier to press. Hate having to think about turning on my device. Oh well small issue for a great tablet.

If you hold it in landscape mode and turn it on, it seems fine. Maybe google wants people to use it in landcape (the sideways nexus logo). I have this problem too. Once kernels with double tap to wake and slide to wake, I don't think I'll ever use the power button.
Yep this is the first thing I noticed.

Pretty sure the new Nexus 7 is extremely hyped up, so a lot of people care.
what? I love my Nexus, but the power button on the old nexus was more clicky and easier

Personally, I don't find it hard to press, it's just 5mm back of where i 'expected' it to be on the vertex. More usage will fix that.
I don't have a problem pressing it. Honestly, I think it fixes all the accidental times I pressed it on my first gen.

Yes, so wait for the next batch...
I feel its positioned at weird angle .
On my s4 you have to press from side at 90 degree ' where as on nexus 7 its kind of at 45 degree may be that's why it little weird . but its not a big deal , it will take few days to get use to it .

I'm surprised there is so little complaints of this design. It is one of my biggest issues with the new N7 - you pretty much have to pickup the tablet to press the volume or power buttons when it is laying on the table.
I recently purchased a 32GB N7 and I love it.... but.... the buttons have me wondering if I should exchange it. The problem: power button requires a couple of pushes to actually trigger the function, and the volume down is nearly flush with the frame. Volume up is perfect.
Thoughts?
How are yours?

I would take back.
I don't have those issues with mine. So you should return it since it isn't normal.

Hi, I bought my nexus 5x (32gb black) 4 days ago. Since the first time I got the impression that the touchscreen was not as good as the g4's one.
For example, on the nexus I do a lot of mistakes while typing with any keyboard app (stock and swiftkey): it seems that the touchscreen is not accurate.
Yesterday I played with "Yet Another Multitouch Tester" app and I found out that every time I had two touches very close the phone recognizes a non-existent touch positioned between the existing two.
I had a 1+1 some months back with the touchscreen grounding issue and I could say that it was worse than this nexus 5x's issue, but at the se time I think that in not a normal behavior.
This is a screen record of the problem:

I had got a detective unit?
What do you advise me to do?
I'm in time to ask the RMA.

Hi, I tested mine and I don't have this issue. So I guess you have a defective device. You should send it back. Good luck.

I tested again, and now I do have this issue! Perhaps it's just like that.

My retardedly expensive S7 has an issue (if you want to try and call it that) where when my fingers get about 2.5mm apart the touch combines into a single event. Is it an issue? No. Never in actual usage do I operate my phone like that. Same with my 5X. If my fingers are really close the screen acts retarded. Is there ever a situation where it would cause a problem? Not a chance. No one can type that fast. You have to want this to happen to get it to happen. My guess is you are simply struggling to type on a smaller screen.

In my case the issue appear when the two touches are at 100dpi of distance. It's something like 1cm that is a HUGE distance compared to 2.5mm

It can be replicated on my end but I really need to be pushing my thumbs together pretty hard to do that. That being said, it's not like I actually type like that and I never really have issues with typos with either SwiftKey or Google Keyboard.

If I cover the proximity sensor and try to turn the screen on, I'm successful. That's with both power button and fingerprint sensor. It didn't do this on the most recent 7.0, has anyone else had this problem? Androsensor shows the proximity sensor is working.

Do you mean while in a phone call? I'm running NBD90W 7.0 and the proximity sensor doesn't prevent me from turning the display on while not in a call.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
No, I mean while the phone's not being used. I used to be able to set my phone face down, touch the sensor, then it'd vibrate like it accepted the fingerprint, but the screen would stay off.

Interesting because I don't think that was ever supposed to be the case. I've never read that being a feature on the 5X nor Nexus 6P. Are you certain it wasn't just auto brightness? Cuz on mine, with auto brightness enabled, I can reproduce the scenario you are referring to. The phone does look "off" but it's just extremely dim due to the sensor being covered. Happens all the time when I'm in my car since I leave my phone in the cup holder.

I just checked my wife's phone, and you're right, her screen comes on. She's on NBD90W. Maybe it was on MM? Anyway, it's super annoying because my screen will turn on in my pocket and the emergency dialer will get hit. Then it's just pushing buttons for over an hour. (While at work, phone in front pocket)
Edit: I just remembered that this is a replacement device, received about a week ago. Maybe the old device was actually glitching in a good way? I just figured it was NPF10C because I've only really noticed it since I installed that version.

This sounds like Ambient Display is turned on?

No, I've turned ambient display and the similar new motion in the Moves menu.

I'm trying the app, Pocket Screen Lock to see if it helps. It could be that my power button keeps getting hit, but I don't know how. I do move around a lot at work, though.

I'm not sure else it would be. I'm leaning towards the device possibly having a defect. Have you tried going back to 7.0 and resetting it there? I can't try 7.1.1 until it's official so I'm limited in what I can suggest.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
No, I haven't. At this point, I'm going to stick with the pocket screen lock app, because I'm hoping to avoid wiping the device. Thanks for the help, even though you were mostly just a sounding board. It really did help out.
