This guy broke his screen and there was a discussion that mentioned the touchscreen technology being closer to the glass that might make the Nexus 4 problematic with a broken screen.

I've dropped my Lumia three times, not a single scratch. To bad Nokia doesn't build Android phones.

That'll be down to the in-cell touch technology they use in the Nexus 4's screen. It's also used on the iPhone 5.

Hi, I had the exact same problem with my brand new LG nexus. Is there any way I can make the touch screen work again? How did you solve the issue? Thanks

Yes you can fix it, by replacing the screen.

Do you know where I can find the replacement glass? I am having the exact same problem with mine. I dropped mine on old wood floors and it cracked all the way down. Also, how difficult would it be to repair it myself?

Bump.

Because the phone is still new on the market, it might be difficult to find screen replacements on ebay or tutorials on youtube on how to repair it yourself. I would recommend sending it to Google/LG, even if you have to pay more.
