The display and digitizer are two different things.

Well I cracked my screen again thus is my second one but my screen turns on but when I touch it to unlock it nothing happens. Any thoughts?

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!

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.

+1 for the commando part. I've been using my nexus the last 6 months bare naked, and I love it

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

Installed it straight out of the box... turned it on minutes after installing it. I would give it at least an 8.

I've only had the device about a week... And no, it's not noticeably thick. You can tell it's there, but it's very smooth; I personally almost prefer using my screen with this rather than with just the bare glass.
I have the invisi-shield extreme and I like it... it's not really thick or anything and it's like a insurance in protecting your phone... the only thing I had a problem with is... there is this spot on the phone that arches over the home button and there is a small space between the button and the shield.... well it just so happened I was getting out the car heading in to work was getting all my stuff together and I dropped my keys which had a small lock on it for my backpack... and it hit perfectly on that spot and shattered my screen from that point and cracking lines went up the screen... I was irritated at first.... but got my replacement with my insurance policy and got my extreme shield transferred over to that one... but other than that little weak spot it's a really good protector and doesn't affect the screen touch at all... hope this helps your decision

I took my screen protector because its got scratches so I'm using my phone without one for a few days without one, and I get these ghost touch holds where the screen thinks I'm still touching it, even when I'm not. I've tried a re-flash of my firmware though Update Service but the problem is still there,
