Market links to the two test apps:

Try playing Pew Pew, it's free on the market. Play for a few minutes. Specifically see if you have issues firing to the lower right on the right stick, WHILE also moving with the left stick. If you have this issue, you'll find that the right stick often goes "dead" while using the left stick, rendering the game hardly playable. If you have this issue, quit out, then try a MultiTouch tester app like this,and see if you have the issue I showed. The issue should remain until you power the screen off and back on again. Post in the thread linked in the description and in the comments if you have this problem!

There seems to be an issue with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus registering multi-touch input while the phone is in landscape held vertically. The problem goes away when you rotate to other positions. It also goes away if you turn the screen off and back on again, until you play another multi touch game.

@protonus Did Samsung ever get back at you? I thought you spoke to them. I'm passed the return date so I'm stuck with this phone now. Everything about it is perfect except THIS yet for me at least its a big part. I have a lot of time in between classes and I like play games to kill time, but i don't anymore because NONE OF MY GAMES WORK. Would rooting my phone fix this?

@Ku5hFi3nd They haven't gotten back to me yet I'm afraid. I followed up last week and the engineers were still looking into it they said. The holidays and being so close to launch date, isn't helping matters I'm sure. I will follow up again next week. I'm afraid rooting your phone, or updating to 4.0.3, will not fix this. We will need a new ROM with new drivers in it from Samsung I am quite certain to fix this.

@protonus My bad. With the 90k views i thought you were one of those people with everything that shows off video after video. I was really only joking in the first place. Even if you were rich i would still have sympathy. Good luck merry christmas.

@simonviegas Why would I even bother faking this? In what strange universe do you reside? I'm sure I'm faking the other people having this issue too right? Either way, I'm going with: Your comment is fake. There is no way your comment is real. It's a photoshop, I know 'shops - I can see the issue in the pixels. FAKE.

@SirRoadHazard I've heard people saying 4.0.4 fixes this, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm at least waiting for 4.0.4 to be released via AOSP before trying it myself.

[SirRoadHazard]

@SirRoadHazard Oh, apparantly this has been fixed in the 4.0.4 update. Just gonna have to wait for that then!

I just downloaded and tried playing PewPew on my new Galaxy Nexus (international GSM version), and immediately noticed this issue. Googled it, and found this video. Thought my phone had a bad digitizer at first, but since it can be temporarily fixed it seems more likely it's a driver issue.

Not all Galaxy Nexus has the same problem, few might have.

@CommonSenceMafia You also spelled "you're" as "your" so I didn't figure spelling was high on your skill list. I don't think spelling has anything to do with common sense. Arrow to the knee jokes are funny when used well, and I used it well as a reply. Which is why I have a top ranked comment on my own video because others agreed. If you don't like it, hit the thumbs down and move on with your life - it's common "sence" you're not going to out troll a troll at trolling.

[CommonSenceMafia]

@protonus Its called Irony. fun fact, the channels name was spelled that way on purpose. and to answer your question im insulting you because arrow to the knee jokes are fucking stupid

[protonus]

@CommonSenceMafia At least I can spell "Sense". LMFAO. Any particular reason for insulting me, or should I just assume you're an angst filled 11 year old who can't spell?

@dannyfarley21 For the billionth time, you must play a multi touch game FIRST before trying the testing app or you won't see the issue. And you musn't turn the screen off between switching between the game and the test app. Then you will see it.
