Alright guys and girls here is the problem....
On my gnex basically the three on screen buttons are purple when I press them. The home button...the multi tasking and the back button. It isn't just the buttons but the whole little strip of screen where the on screen buttons are located turn purple. I don't know what has caused this...I have had this phone for about eight months now and I have been using the phone a daily basis everyday.
Now recently I had downloaded this game called "shadow gun: deadzone" and I have noticed that after a few minutes of playing the game the device gets really hot... Especially the screen... I'm having a feeling the over use of the phones digitizer is causing the discoloration of the lower part of the screen. Any ideas will be of great help, thanks.

Alright I figured out that after a while of just using the gnex, the screen just starts overheating and miscolors in places... This usually happens when playing a lot of high-pixilated games. If anyone else has similar problems please report.

If any of the devs feel like doing it, sure lol. I could see some battery drain issues though because that means the front buttons would have to be polling still when the screen is off.
I'm usually all for extra possibilities, but this one is kinda meh.
Why would anyone ever prefer sliding over pushing a hardware button once?
This would be great to extending the life of the phone's natural power button...but I'd be on to a different phone long before this button mechanism on my phone have a chance to think of failing. Maybe good for people who keeps there phone for over 2 years?
Palm pre wants its life back....

Might open in your pocket too against your leg. looks neat though
This would be faster. I hope someone ports the mod.

How would it be faster to swipe across all 4 capacitive buttons than press the power button? Pressing the power button takes literally a split second. Keep in mind this mod doesn't unlock the phone, it just turns the screen on. You still have to unlock from the lock screen like you normally would. I agree it would likely drain the battery because the phone could never fully sleep if it's constantly looking for input from the capacitive buttons.

Anything to make the power button last longer I'm for..
I could see the phone getting unlocked constantly in your pocket.
My screen times out often, especially while reading... I hate reaching for the power button. To me this would be easier. However 2 things will keep me away:
1. Battery Life concern
2. Unlock in the pocket
I would definitely try it
i have beenw anting this since the og evo...i dont have the biggest hands and loved how all the older android phones had hard buttons at the bottomt hat made it wake
PLEASE PORT THIS SOMONE PLEASEEEEEEEE
This port would be nice.
Hi guys,
I've had my G-Nex for a few days, and mostly love it - but on two occasions now, the touchscreen has acted up. I'd put the phone down, and for a few minutes, it'd randomly select things on the screen with me nowhere near ( the other day it kept opening the People app). But a minute later, it'll be fine. Touch inputs are flawless when I'm actually using the phone. It's totally random.
Anyone else with such an issue?

I never had any problem like that. It's just a thought but do you put your phone where there might be magnetic interference nearby, like another electronic device? I'm not sure if this can happen with phones but some types of touch input can go crazy because of that.

If you are telling me next that it only happens while 2G is being used..
I had the same thought, but both times the phone was on WiFi, in my house. I've not once had the volume problem, and am also on Orange (1800mhz)...which, so far, seems unaffected by the volume ghost.

I don't want people to think that i am a general moaner, but it did happen to me the first day i got it whilst i was viewing cached apps is the settings menu. Its like your finger is still on the screen. I haven't experienced it since though.
Something like this happened to me with the Nook Color. As far as I know, it's not a known issue for that device so I'm guessing there was some interference I was not aware of. UFO's maybe.
My Palm Pre+ is doing this constantly. I will be pretty upset if I get the Galaxy Nexus and it does the same.
I'm so sick of this phone. I'm on my 8th one and they have all had the same problem. I'll be playing some angry birds (or any other game, cause that's all this phone is for), and my screen goes blank. I have tracked it down to the button on the top right hand side. It seems that a side effect to hitting this button is it kills the screen. It's like it turns the lights of it something. I know I can't be the only one with this problem, and I just ordered my 9th phone (hoping this on doesn't have the problem). If this one does it, off to the iPhone I go. Anyone else have this problem? How do you deal with it? I have found the only way to get the screen you come back on, I'd to pull the battery and put it back in. Thanks for any input, and please don't troll me.

Why does it have to be an iPhone?
But 8 have had the issue, and you think a 9th will fix it? Hopeful thinking.

Yeah, what's up with that power button? How can I disable that little bastard?

There is a mod you can do to fix it. In the middle of a reflash unplug the phone and rip out the battery. You'll never have problems with that button again.
Also, it turns the phone into a great paperweight.
Good luck!

I know right...I rotated the phone 180' and thought I was smart...and now the music just keeps getting louder whenever I hit the little bump there
This one is off the charts!

I'm seriously confused... are you talking about the power button? There's only three physical buttons on the device, the power, volume down and volume up...

Be patient. My 26th Nexus was nearly perfect. But I'm going to sell it for the galaxy s2. When the galaxy s3 comes out I'll sell my s2 and buy that. Then I'll come back here and by my 27th nexus, but only if it's GSM. I heard the CDMA version isn't supported by the googlesphere.

Try restarting yourself.

Heads up op, I've heard the most recent ios update has had similar hardware issues come with it. Jitterbug is definitely the way to go. Maybe a pager.

Well it has been observed in some cases that it actually causes it.
On the top of my screen I've noticed that the the status bar has been burnt in and I was wondering if I could get a replacement from T-Mobile.

Searched and found this. Wanted to bring this up because I too now have screen burns. Specifically the notification bar and a little bit from the dock. I just started noticing it maybe the past month or two. Not sure if it will get worse. But to describe it, it's a light blueish tint, more noticeable on white. Really noticeable when the brightness is turned down, hardly noticeable when the brightness is cranked up. I got my phone in the middle of April of 2012.
Kinda sucks, but I've gotten used to it and come to terms that it will probably happen again if I replace it. Never replaced a phone before, but I just don't want to end up getting a refurbished phone if that's the case. Phone works great and I can deal with the screen unless it becomes super dark blue.
Just wanting to know if any of yall have any indications of screen burn or at least heard any other stories. Thanks!
To all this happen to a previous vibrant I owned and its from you charging your phone often with the display on to high and not in sleep mode while charging make sure your screen is off on phone because the hotter the phone gets the more likely u get the burn :thumbup:

For those who have the issue, can you try the Display Tester app on the Play store and let us know if it works? Apparently, it can repair burn in... it would be good to find out if it's a possible fix in the event someone else were to get screen burn.
hey
my touchscreen is gone crazy..
i am on SPEEDroid rom ..
n the lower section of touchscreen stimulates TWO touches by it self..
n then i went to settings and developers options then i ticked the SHOW VISUAL TOUCH FEEDBACKS and POINTER LOCATION.. n on the bottom of my screnn i can see two DOTS (touches which inturn is genereating the pointer location and the visual touch feed back)
any sugesstions??
is it hardware problem or software problem
??
Had a similar problem with my old HTC Hero back in the day, the difference though was the the bottom of the digitizer (the part that registers the touch) didn't work at all, it happened slowly but in the end it was like that, it began by simulating touches and at last stopped working all together.
I fixed it by replacing the digitizer that I bought off ebay for a few dollars, I have no idea if that is possible on your device, but it sure sounds like it is a hardware problem.
Best of luck

Im having a similar problem, whenever I put pressure on the bottom right side of the phone (opposite of charger slot) it make my screen do the same thing, except it always happens at the very bottom right of the screen and it messes everything up, and it also messes up the soft keys, like I try an load an app an it starts spamming the back/search button and trolls me everytime its EXTREMELY annoying to do anything, thank god mx player has a screen lock otherwise streaming videos would be near impossible, I tried putting tape in the same spot it happens under the hard case and it's actually pretty effective it only ever happens now unless I really grip the thing.
I have similar problem....sometimes phone generates random touches even if I am not holding it...but fortunately only sometimes
