Android - Bug [Nexus 7 2013] Flippers become non-responsive in portrait mode

[netizen]

The Galaxy Tab 2 has a built in task/ram manager :/ are not using the default OS package?

Press the arrow looking symbol in the task/tool bar, you know where home and back is, it's off to the side looks like ^. A secondary bar of quick apps will pop up including Task Manager, Calculator, World Clock etc. It's a set of Samsung tools, this isn't a regular Android thing AFAIK.
In the Task Manager you can stop individual or all apps, and in the ram manager see resources used, and free up memory.

With the Tab 2 I find that clearing the memory before playing TPA is a usually a good preventive maintenance, and that's about all I ever have to to. ICS has relatively good app/resource management.

I suppose it does, but while I know Windows quite intimately (having built desktops since Windows for WorkGroups was new and exciting), I am not as familiar with Android.

What are you not sure about?

You can unlock, then relock the boot loader without affecting your warranty. Particularly if you get mkskip's nexus 7 toolkit.

Not so sure about the fix, cause i've read a lot of post and there are quite a few who report even after doing all the steps the problem is not solved, and some say that it was reduced but not eliminated. I wnat a full fix not just half, and not just a maybe...

My Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 has this problem as well. But statistically it's rare. Maybe 1 out of 1000 hits and 1 of 100 balls. It affects mostly the newer multiball tables. Last time it happened during TOTAN with 2 lost balls and TOM with 1 ball. During multiball it's not such a matter and there is often a ball saver. There are good and bad days and it helps to shutdown the device for 10 minutes.
