So there's a strip going across my screen right where you would press to unlock it or where the middle row of keys is on the keyboard where the touch recognition has just stopped working...
The rest of the screen and phone work absolutely perfect except for this thin strip on the screen.
Any one ever seen this before where a certain point of the screen stops working ?
I take great care of my phone and I had used it to txt literally a minute earlier put it on the table and when a reply text came through I picked the phone up and this problem was there.
Factory reset didn't solve the issue so it's gotta be hardware. It's on its way for repair now.

Factory reset only resets your settings, if part of your Kernel or ROM corrupted itself then a factory reset would do nothing to fix the issue, try re-flashing stock or whatever you use.
I am afraid you're going to rma. Seems like mulfuctioning digitizer.

Notice how the sticker on the bottom back is on? Was that supposed to be on? Because I removed it, and it came off really easily.
Nothing major, just curious.

Mine is still there, just too lazy to remove
No one can force you to have it there for eternity.
I guess it's important to have the CE label etc on the device when shipping to inform the user...

Its probably there as a requirement for shipping. On your phone you will see those standards,most likely under the battery cover, but you can't access that on the nexus 7 so instead of ruining the aesthetic having them permanently printed, its nicer to just have a sticker.
Mine is gone gone gone too..
Just like the tags on the back of my tops.. and Top of my skirts that tend to stick out..
As well as the tags on my mattress we bought not so long ago.. Its a ffc requirement by manufacture to put them there. If it were to be non removable it would have been like the STUPID ASUS LOGO ..
NOW MY Question is can someone get that off and PUT A Real pc manufacturer name there . Asus used to be the best out there . I really thought google would have enough control over the nexus to make it better then standard asus devices. Now they are no doubt a last ranking provider .. what a shame...
Mine either never had one or came off accidentally when I was unwrapping it.

Lol You're fingernail at the time you were using your s3 must have been short, thus allowing your finger as well to touch the screen without you noticing it. And now that you use your nexus 4, you're fingernail is long again..

I never said the screen sucks. I said the touch sensitivity does. And I was using my nail as a comparison between the s3 and n4 screen touch sensitivity.

Really? What are you touching then when you're testing the sensitivity? Do you even understand how capacitive screens work?
The sensitivity mod allows you to tap with the back of fingernail (i know i tried lol). It uses the earlier touch driver, but it does have the side affect of making the phone stall for a minute or more when first booted up; but if used with the supplied modded stock kernel you only have this happen once, also 'Matr1x' kernel also has this feature.

Everything and anything on my phone.
Even if I put my finger on the screen slowly without adding too much pressure it will not recognize the touch...try it.
I guess I'm just used to the s3 really sensitive touch screen.

Can you scroll on your home screen or click on apps with your finger nail?
Can you tap on an app with your finger ever so slightly, but definitely make contact with the glass, on an app icon or keyboard, and no action happens? Meaning the app doesn't open or the letter pressed isn't typed in...

I can scroll with the back of my fingernail, and can open apps with a very small amount of pressure. I don't see why I would use my fingernail anyway

I can't do either. My sensitivity is really bad. It's really annoying when I'm typing so fast and half the letters pressed don't register.

Wow most of you are assholes.. I stopped reading after the 3rd negative response. Does anyone know what an example is? That is what the OP was saying when they said they could select things with their fingernail. It does not mean that they want it to do that but only showing an example of its sensitivity that their other phone had and I can tell you that you CANNOT do this on the Nexus 4 unless you push somewhat. My GS2 would scroll with no issues by grazing the screen I actually have to push before doing the mod.
There is a temp fix and it works fairly well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289

I just find it odd that its only one specific section dead without any obvious damage... Something similar happened to my old Atrix, dead section of the screen. My dad dropped it in a cup of water and then gave me the phone . I guess you could give that a shot, although I think if a connector was loose it would have more issues than that little spot. Next step after that is RMA I guess.

It may not be a power button hardware problem. A few members, including me have experienced bad power button behavior ever since the 4.3 update. At times mine seems unresponsive, or acts as if I press it twice. Like if I push it once to lock my phone it'll quickly go off and back on as if I pressed it twice. Also when pushing it to wake the screen it doesn't seem to respond at times and have to push it again. It happens very randomly. I'd say about 2 out of 10 times or so. I even flashed back to 4.2.2 for a few days and I had no issues whatsoever.

I have the EXACT same behaviour!!
I didnt notice if it was because of android 4.3 but I have read about others saying the same thing.
Im about to leave the house to go the service centre and I found this
Im taking it anyway. Lets see what they say.
But its not 2 out of 10 for me. More like 7 out of 10
Really doubt that is the OS it had to be the power button get it replaced from the service centre that should solve the problem.
Facing the same problem but the service centre in my area does not have the power button in stock had asked me to wait for a week so that they can arrange it.

Screen went all wonky and virtually unusable. Rebooted it a few times and it never got better. I was going to factory reset it but this is what the factory recovery looks like which makes me think it is hardware related. Its been in an otterbox defender since purchase and I haven't had time to do anything that would brick it. I had installed nova launcher, widget locker, and my regular loadout of apps but nothing too fancy yet.
Just pulled it out of pocket and saw static. I guess its going back to Verizon tomorrow.
