Hey,
Well this is the case many times, you did not crack your screen because it would not be working if you did. What you did was crack the digitizer, and those are very sensitive if you crack it it may work, but if it is cracked the right way it will not. its just luck of the draw kind of thing!
You might be wanting one of these

The display and digitizer are two different things.

[Q] Can you fix a stuck pixel on AMOLED screen?

Just noticed on my phone earlier when i unlocked it that i hat a red dot near the bottom. Ran a pixel test i found on the market and it shows up on any background and my brightness setting doesn't affect it. Is there any way i can fix this?

Press hard on the screen where the stuck pixel is so the screen distorts in that area and hold for 10 or so seconds. Thats how ive done it for my lcd monitors and its worked.

That wouldn't work anyways cause the screen it under a hard glass cover. Also its not a true lcd screen its an oled screen

Maybe an app could be developed that uses the device gpu/cpu to mimic the effects of Pixel Tuneup?
I can't link because i'm new, but it's pixeltuneup[dot]com.
Just a thought. If this turns out to be a widespread issue, a simple app might be something people would pay a buck or two for. From what I understand, PT just puts out a calibrated video signal that is good at fixing pixel issues.
Ill have to give that a look and maybe contact the developer. Its not that bad of a problem but i always find myself staring at it lol

So does anyone else have a possible idea? I've looked all over Google recently and can't find much about fixing oled screens.

I supposed you've tried the screen calibrators that flash a whole bunch of colors. Thats would really be my only advice. If it doesn't work out a warranty replacement would be my last resort

Yea I've tried a few if those already and left each one run for about an hour. As for a replacement i wouldn't be able to do since i just got this one after my last one broke. Also I've have this phone for a little over one month or so :/

So why can't you get a replacement ? The phone is to be free of defects for a year, even if you already replaced it. Stuck pixels are a manufacturing defect which is covered under the warranty. If you got it in store, go back to the store. If you got it from 611 or online call the 1800 number and tell them.
Ah ok i see what you mean now. My next issue would be to find a stock 2.3.6 Rom

Hmm not experiencing that. Its just as responsive when I'm not holding it.

Maybe when you are holding your phone or putting it down, different parts of your fingers are touching the screen, and the sensor responds differently to them.

Don't know but I can for sure feel the difference... sometimes I need to press 4 or 5 times before the phone recognizes the input

Same here except mines doesn't matter how it's being held. I also have to apply force on the bottom section of my screen all the Damn time to apply a touch.

Do you guys have screen protectors applied? There was one brand in particular where the screen protector would cause the screen to become quite unresponsive especially at the bottom of the screen. If that's the case you might want to change screen protectors or just go commando.

going without screen protector too scared of scratches on the screen

I have had my gnex since release day with no screen protector and not a single scratch to this day. As long as you are somewhat careful as to how you handle your phone you will be fine. To me the screen protectors on the galaxy nexus seem awful and huge finger print magnets from the pics I have seen, and that would drive me nuts.

The nexus one had an issue with this and it had to do with grounding when the device was held which would allow the touchscreen to work well. As soon as your not holding it touch response goes to s***

I don't think a phone with an all-plastic body like a Galaxy Nexus would have a problem with grounding?

When the screen protector was off, did you try using the phone and see if the sensitivity improved? If it didn't at least you could rule out that the screen protector is the problem.

I've known a few good people with this problem, but most of them have hands that become moist easily. Perhaps this is causing it, no?
I have the same problem. When I put it on the holder at my work and start watching YouTube my back button I have to press 100 times it losses sensitivity

I don't get that at all. I have ****e reception here, so when I text and stuff I put my phone down on the speaker by the window. It always seems to work just fine with me pecking away.
now i'm starting to have issue were screen is totally unresponsive and battery pull is the solution
this is not normal

[Q] Cracked screen finally went black, what now?

So my screen has been cracked for a while now, and I just found out from asurion that I cannot make another claim for like 8 months
I have been using it up until last night when the screen stopped working all together. The soft keys light up, but the screen remains black. Phone still makes noises from notifications and the led lights up as well. Does anyone have a phone that is dead that possibly I could take the digitizer from and try to make mine work? They are expensive as hell on ebay, as they all seem to work still, just cracked. What should I do? Any info would really be appreciated. Thanks guys
The digitizer has nothing to do with the screen turning black. Your actual lcd/screen is gone bro.

Replacement glass touches digitizer

I had my glass replaced and now if I press hard enough then the glass touches the digitizer and locks up the screen until the powered button is pressed and screen turned back on. Is there a step I am missing on the new glass install?

You have to get the locus glue to put between the screen and the glass.

The adhesive should cover the entire glass plate...Not just the edges. ..
The issue you are having is the result of air space between the plate and digitizer. ..
You may want to have it done again. ..using the proper adhesive. ..
And although changing broken glass is a doable project. ..it really should be done by a professional if possible. ..imho...g

I have the same issue. I just got my glass replaced by a repair shop and it touches right in the middle of the screen if I push more than gently. It was really apparent initially, but after a few hours it stopped, even if I pushed harder than normal (not more than would be expected by average use though). However, once I put it back in my jeans pocket this morning it started touching over a larger area, and still hasn't gone away. I told the shop I'd like to bring it back in once they have more screens in stock (I got the last one).
They said they'd done two Note 2s earlier that day, so I assume they know what they're doing. Is it possible to cause permanent damage if I use my phone like this for the next few days?

I don't know. What should they have used? I'll ask what they used when I go back in to get it fixed. Do you know why/how it's happening?
I just replaced the glass on a note 2 and the soft keys and home button arent working, do they have to be stuck to the glass? Everything else is working great like i said its just the bottom keys. Thats guys for any help!
