After tinkering with the nexus 4 wih custom roms, kernals, tweaks. I have yet to find a solution to fix the responsiveness of the screen. I have gone theough 3 nexus devices so far. The first nexus had issues with speaker producing static sounds, second device had a malfunctioming screen , third drvice has 2 dead pixels. Okay, so I guess LG has serious quality control issues. But the responsiveness of the screen has been terrible on all the nexus devices I have had, even with the roll back screen driver available. Just a simple comparison to the galaxy s3 shows how weak the responsiveness on the nexus 4 really is.
How is the screen responsiveness on your nexus 4? And what had you done to improve it?

It was good, but after upgrading to a 4.3 custom rom it has hugely improved. Sad for you having this problem.
4.3 ROMs are much snappier and the screen is just too good.
I've always disliked the lack of responsiveness of the touchscreen on this phone. Every time I use my girlfriend's Galaxy Nexus it feels significantly better. I do have to admit that I missed that screen. The transition from gnex to n4 was weird in terms of color and touch

My nexus 4 has no touch responsivness issues neither on 4.2 nor 4.3.
As for my old galaxy nexus, there is a whole thread about touch sensitivity droping, and only fix was turning screen OFF then back ON. My gnex suffered from that and it was really annoying especially when typing

When I got my nexus4 it a sort of downgrade in touch respond. And I came from a Galaxy s. Im used to it now and 4.3 is better but gnex just feels better

I found that the upgrade to 4.3 caused a big improvement in touch responsiveness.
I'm pretty surprised they have built the screen in this manner. Try using a stylus on the the nexus 4, it doesn't even register until you press it down. Even my old nexus s had a much more responsive screen. Its pretty dissapointing , good overall phone bottlenecked by a weak display.

After using the new SGTab 2 7" I have experiencing the touchscreen is unresponsive in some occasions.
For example closing the tabs in the brrowser on the X mark is very hard, both in the stock browser and Chrome.
When I try to clear my mssage in the bottom right corner, it also doesn't recognize my touch on various occasions.
It seems to me that along the edges of the screen, the touches are harder to recognize. Have any of you recognized this problem aswell?
After reading a review on Techradar.com, this passage stood out for me:
''Disappointingly, we found the touchscreen experience to be a little sub-par. The sensitivity of the display was lower than we expected, and we found it hard to register presses on small parts of the browser, such as links, and the close tab button.''

I encountered the same fault/defect on my Tab2 10.1
especially on small objects,
but it seems not to be constant.
meaning it generally works, but sometime i have to press multiple times to activate the selected button or object.
I found that fingerprints really lower the sensitivity of the screen. If you wipe off the screen after prolonged use, the touch experience will be much better. I verified this using a touch recognition program.

Got mine today. And ive been fine, then again i have a crappy screen protector lol.
After rooting and flash a custom rom on p5100, everything is OK. Become responsive. So I believe Samsung touchwiz on ics might be the cause of the problem.
Yeah me too not satisfied with the samsung touch wiz...but I don't think I am having problem with touch screen...though it is not as smooth as with iPhone 4...

Do you have a screen protector on? Mine was crappy with it on, so i removed it.

Had this problem when I was on Stock. Not dead touch points but it was more like an inability to sense my touch due to lag due to touchwiz. Changing to nova launcher helped... And then.... Tried CM9 rom and all is well. Not sure if you wanna take that route but for me... It worked. I am a happy camper!

Is there a way to calibrate the screen on the T2 10.1?
After 10 minutes of reckless racing 2, the screen gets unresponsive, i think it might be something to do with the battery or cpu getting hot, I am using the stock modified rom from metallice
Why or why not, please explain.
Go!

I like this phone more than my gnex except for not having a removable battery. It's much faster than both of my last 2 phones.

Yeah, I am perfectly happy with the Nexus 4 as well.
Initially didnt intend to upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus, but then that one died a painful, painful death on a Bar Counter.
Couldn't be happier, it feels extremely solid and is fast as hell. With the custom kernels out there you get the battery to get you through the day, I dont need anything else.
I have had the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and now the N4. Hands down it is a better device. It feels like a premium device, rock solid with no squeaks etc.
You can keep holding out for better devices, but then you will never buy one! Bigger and better phones are always around the corner.
Besides, the differences now are so small, it really doesn't make sense to wait.

yeah definetely.
had the Galaxy Nexus, and altough I really liked, it doesnt feel like the N4.. and once you have the N4. the GN with that plastic back starts to look like a cheap cell
Im using my gnex while my N4 is charging and yes the N4 feels superior than my gnex, way faster too... The N4 is the best Nexus to date!

I miss the curved screen on my GNex. Otherwise I'm very happy to have made the upgrade. There isn't anything I have thrown at this phone which it can't handle.

I ask because this is the only nexus I've owned and I think I'll only replace it with another nexus. I came from a galaxy s 4g so yes my nexus is much faster, I like the feel of the custom roms the utility of the phone.

Best for me and I always prefer the latest Nexus!
I have actually owned the original Nexus One, Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus, and now the Nexus 4.
My top 2 choices would have to be the HTC One, but the N4 is the best with the Nexus S being 4th place.
I've had every nexus phone and it's my personal favorite and objectively the best all around Nexus device.
I do miss the car dock for the Nexus One though, who do we have to kill to get an inductive charging bluetooth car dock for the N4?
I've owned the nexus one, galaxy nexus and now the N4.
N4 gives me the same feel as the nexus one did when I first go it. Mainly "WOW. THIS IS AMAZING." Something that the GN couldn't do. Perhaps it's my samsung hatred.
But yeah, the N4 is by far the best nexus i've ever had.
Yeah it is. But Nexus One blew my mind when it came out. So to me its the best
This being my 3rd Nexus of course it is :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Dropping Sprint (have given them 3yrs to "fix" coverage in my area) and my Note 2. Going to T-Mobile and a Nexus 4. Anyone gone from a note 2 to a nexus 4?
I've went from a N4 to a note 2 and then back to my N4 . Both great devices the note is just to big
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I did the same as the guy above. I bought it about a month ago and really didn't like how AMOLED displayed whites. When comparing displays, I thought the nexus was much better.
Also, I didn't find the spen to be all that useful, although came in handy once or twice. The phones are pretty equal in terms of speed. Battery life is much better on the note, camera is much better on the note, and the display size didn't make it stand out IMO. They have the same resolution so it displayed the same amount of stuff.
I figured the note would be out dated around August when the note 3 comes out and the nexus will continue to be updated for a while.

Agree, for flashing hoolic like me, I prefer Nexxus 4 the awesome device ..
I just feel its so much more comfortable to use. I used the note 2 for a week straight to see if I could get used to it but it just didn't feel right . To me the only thing that's great on the note is the battery life.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I have nevered used a Note before but I'd like to try it. The batter battery life and camera are huge attractions to me. It's just the size that I feel will be too big for me as I have a Nexus 7 already.

Once you go Note, you can't go back. I miss the size of the Note 1's screen and still not used to the Nexus 4 (had it since Dec). The Note 2 basically fixes all the problems of the Note 1, but costs $700. I didn't want to spend that much so I "settled" for a Nexus 4. For the price, the Nexus 4 is worth it, but I would have bought a Note for the same price.
I have had both. I don't understand how someone can say the note 2 has a better camera.
Only pros of note 2 : better battery. S-pen , Case options . Bigger screen & features 'if' that is for you.
Other than that, that's it.

Nothing quite like some guy with an otterbox defender on a note 2, holding the phone to his ear. It's one of the most ridiculous things to witness. It's kinda like me holding my N7 to my face like I'm making a call. Hilarious.
I used Note 2 for six months and I loved it then sold it and got N4. I miss the Note 2's camera and big screen but N4 is much better looking phone with much professional built quality. I will keep N4 for a while.
I went from a note 1 to an n4 after 3 months. Just couldn't get used to the size of the note. The n4 works much better for me.

My GNexus died. It was great device, i mean it provided great user experience in spite of really average specs (like very poor GPU). I think optimization in case of ti-omap was relatively more advanced than it is in case of snaprdagon s4 pro maybe due to ti's more open policy. Gnex cannot measure up hardwarewise to N4. It can hardly handle more demanding live wallpapers without lag. Its screen is the biggest flaw -grainy, horrible horizontal banding. But still touch responsiveness and scrolling experience is very smooth. To be honest I preferred stock browser experience on my gnex than the one provided with n4 and chrome. Just pinch to zoom and scroll. Literally, heaven and earth difference. But that's the end of gnex's advantages over n4 I noticed so far. I completely disagree with those criticising our lcd-ips screen. It's awesome! I really don't feel the need for 1080p screen. And... 2 GB of ram + 1,5 GHz x4 krait. Why would I downgrade to Gnex? N4 is all I need

Was watching a review of 4.3 and the reviewer stated this version of Android seemed to really improve the colors/calibration of the N4 screen...
Anyone else notice this as well?...

Yes its a known change that happened in 4.3 where they adjusted the colors.
I still prefer custom colors but it is definitely a improvement from 4.2.
Yeah I feel it's ok in my eye and I dont calibrate it

Same, they look mostly the same to me. Not great anyway, even if there is an improvement.
Look somewhat better...
I was taking some pictures yesterday and then held up my phone showing the picture I just took side by side with the real scene, the colours were very close.
I'm guessing a new thread is required for every single detail about 4.3 then?
I mean, it's not like there is a DISCUSSION thread for 4.3 out there already.
Oh, wait, there is? Hehe, silly me, right?
Looks better for me, screen is brighter also.

Wouldnt matter to me as i always flash franco anyway
Colors are the same for me as they were on 4.2.2, I don't see any difference.
N4, stock 4.3 + franco
I counted 7!! 7 threads about the same topic= OS 4.3!! Just, why would you do that?
same colors for me. no difference.
Placebo??
It's like a common syndrome in the iOS/Apple community. Every time after an update, people will tell you that "safari feels snappier"
I compared cloros on a device with 4.3 and 4.2.2 side by side. With same pictures displayed. I didn't notice any changes. The only changes I've noticed was by update from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2.
I don't know of its because I'm using to using franco.Kernel with custom colour settings, but when I briefly used 4.3 I couldn't see any difference.
