Help Touch screen input is hosebagged - anyone else having this issue?

[Samdog]

Greetings friends,

I just received a Galaxy Nexus at Google IO a few days ago and I'm running Jellybean. All was well until yesterday when the touch screen seems to have gone haywire. It will randomly (more often than not) have a complete dead zone in the bottom center of the screen (home button can't be pressed, etc)

I turned on the developer mode tool to see a visualization of touch inputs, and occasionally it will just go haywire and register multiple touches all over the left side of the screen without me putting my finger on it.

Anyone else had this issue or a similar issue to this before?

I have tried the following to no avail:
- Rebooting the phone
- Locking/unlocking the screen
- Pulling the battery
- Factory data reset

:dancing:

My tablet PC did the exact same thing (random input all over the screen and random times). Turns out the digitizer went on the fritz and had to be replaced. So apparently it was a hardware issue. Hopefully that isn't the case with yours because that would really suck.

i had that on my OG Droid and had to have the digitizer replaced, fortunately under warranty
