When I am on the home screen using the analog stick it will randomly jump up,down,left or right 1-2 spaces when I move it, it happens sometimes more often than other and only happens in menu-screens, when i go in game in COD or Nintendo Land ( like moving around and actually playing the game) but always happens on anything besides that, i tested it out and moved the analog stick in COD like how I would browse through the menu and had no problems has anyone else had this problem?

Maybe you were drunk XD nah just joking... post a video on youtube of it and send the link to nintendo through an email so they can tell you what's wrong etc. Try calibrating it?

you can't calibrate the analog stick, it really isnt that much of a problem since it works fine when im actually playing, if it gets worse im going to contact nintendo, it almost seems like a software bug since it only happens outside of actual gameplay, and only happened after the day 1 update

Hmm... maybe the next system update will fix it? Why are so many Wii U's having problems? Luckily the worst I had was three freezes... or was it four?

Yea you can.
its in the manual. Turn off the system and spin them around and then turn it on once you let go.
Had a ps3 controller get stuck with the left stick up.
Was wondering why my guy was slowly moving forward when i wasnt pressing the stick.

The problem is the analog sticks are actually too precise and sensitive. Things like switching through menus and simple controls will be affected because there is no room for error. But playing a game like Black Ops 2 on the Wii U with a Wii U GamePad will probably feel better then playing it on a 360 with a 360 controller which has great analog sticks that aren't over-precise or over-sensitive. They feel just right for everything. Of course this is a matter of opinion and taste. Most people want more precision in a game like Black Ops 2. You want room for error when navigating menus. You simply can't have both. One or the other. Very unlikely that it will be fixed, that is the way it is. You'll probably just have to get used to it. Or use the touchscreen to select items. The D-Pad is also very accurate without being over-precise. Thats a good option for the menu screens.

If something is legitimately wrong with your GamePad, the only way to know wether your gamepad needs repair/replacement or not. Is to try another gamepad and see if it is the same way. If it is. All those gamepads are alike. You just aren't a fan of it. If yours gives you trouble, but the other gamepad is fine. Then maybe your gamepad has a problem. But I have the same thing, where if I try navigating through menus with the analog stick. It goes all over the place...too sensitive. I just use the D-Pad or touchscreen.
Not to mention the human factor, some people's hands are steady, others are shaky or jerky. That'll effect it too. Some people right now may be reading this right now and say, I think it feels fine, I have no problem with it. They may be very accurate with their handling of the analog sticks. Everyone is a little different in how they operate things and also what they consider acceptable and what they consider to be a problem.
