Hi, I am on my second Epic and I have a distinct black line of the right side of my screen....it seems as though it is a line of stuck pixels and it is quite annoying. I am considering bringing it back to radioshack. I would post pics but idk if they would turn out...its really bugging me...the line wasnt there last night either.
Apparently Radioshack are being total dicks, they were nice before about it and they arent willing to let me trade my Epic back in.
Nobody? Well Radioshack basically said I was lying and that I had dropped it and or put pressure on it...
I have a 1 pixel wide green line going down the right side of my Epic. It's only SLIGHTLY noticeable against a white screen like in the browser. In other screens I'm sure it's not there at all. Those few pixels just have a problem showing white I guess.

You're not being picky, it's a defective phone. Exchange it.

Just love smart people, that become members "yesterday".
It is HW fault, but is it LCD or graphic processor?
Maybe someone have similar problem...

black screen green lines
resonse to igord:
my N1 experienced this yesterday. It will power on and off but the screen has only horizontal green lines. The previous day I experienced a garbled voice on outgoing calls. Until 2 days ago it had worked flawlessly.
Google/HTC support said it may be software issue. I've requested a "swap" for a replacement phone. This "swap" option requires giving them a credit card number for them to charge for a new phone. Once I receive the new phone and return the malfunctioning phone they will credit the cc for the amount charged.

Got my SGSII yesterday only to realize that there is a circle on the downleft of screen. It's very annoying. Went to Telenor today but they had no phones left. Only thing to do now is wait 4 weeks for a new one.
Any idé on what this is? Have you checked your own ones?
imgur.com/a/pLZC5#3guAm
More people have this. I don't know if it went away with anyone? Some say it should go away and the production process causing it.
I see you also have the 1/3 yellowish/darker screen. I am wondering if there is someone who doesn't have this.
Sorry didn't want you to focuss on it, guess you didn't saw yet. but a lot have this(if not everybody).

Haha now when you say it. I was so blind cause of that circle that I didn't notice the yellow/dark thing! Haha!
Do you have a link to any other source that say that they have gotten rid of the circle thing? I searched alot before posting but couldn't find anythin.

wow almost looks like you kept your phone in your pocket with some coin for too long
dial *#0*# to see the menu for individual color display, or use some app like Dead Pixel Detect , to do more tests.
lol it's funny
Dont have any problems with my screen. Tried setting higher and lower brightness on different background and saw nothing. Are display problems really that common?

No blue coating when tilting the phone?

I wouldn't be amused having to wait 4 weeks to get that fixed.

I took some more pictures on different backgrounds and it seems like it is only visible on grey. Ar almost.
Only thing to do is send it in?
this phone has so many faults.
all you can do is send it back and get another one... and hope that there isnt something wrong with that.
Am I lucky? My one has no problem. Did you do special things? Or the circle point was pressed? I am worry about possible problem on my sgs2.

Didn't do anything. Opened it, charged it and booted it. Tested it out and rolled down statusbar, noticed directly and all my happyness for my new phone dissappeared.
I guess its the kind of person who owns the phone..
I myself am almost a perfectionist.. well.. atleast when i buy new things.. why would i want a new product with some minor/ major problems on it?
hardware problems.. not software.. since software can be fixed.
I had the circle on mine, top right of the screen. Made a thread about it last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078058
Noticed it shortly after taking delivery of the box when I was viewing some photos. It's not visible on pixels where full brightness is used (no matter if it's R, G, or B), but on anything between black and full white it's visible. Sent mine back yesterday for replacement, but I was told by an Expansys-USA rep that they won't have any in stock till the 30th.
Supposedly it's from the suction cup used on the assembly line and that it's technically supposed to go away over time. Expansys only gives a small window of time for returns, and my circle wasn't showing signs of disappearing. Might wanna have yours swapped out, too.
Thanks, was looking for someone else having this problem.
I live in Sweden and ordered from operator Telenor.
They only have a 7 day DOA, so I called them and because all phones were out both in physical store and on the web, they was going to send me a servicebox that I will pack everything and then send it. Hopefully I will get a new one in a few weeks. They say that it can take up to a month though.
Hey there,
I got the exact same thing, but on the right side of the display. I got this thing just yesterday, I live in Germany.
I really do not want to send it back, especially since it seems display problems are pretty common with this phone and there is no guarantee I'll get another one without it.
Anyone knows if this might go away? I have 4 weeks until I have to send it back.
No idea if it will go away, but if you've got 4 weeks, maybe you can see if it does fade over time? I had a really short period of time to report any problems with the phone to Expansys (48 hours), so I couldn't wait.
Man... 4 weeks..! That seems like such a luxurious amount of time to check for problems with the phone.
I can't see anything like this on my phone...
How can I see/make it:-??
Has anyone noticed that the is a few small black lives it something when the screen is dark. I've noticed this on two different devices already.

Or exchange it...it is very common on GS2's and Galaxy Nexus...I've seen people post, they bought a Nexus from Google and they have gone through like 5 getting one that doesn't have the dark blotch problem. Some GS3's have it too, mainly international versions. If you got a bad one, take it back...run LCD Test and show it to them, they have to exchange it.
It's something with the glue not drying inside the digitizer/glass assembly
one of the reason why I have not bought a galaxy s3. I don't want to play the exchange game.

im like that too.... but this defect doesn't bother me as much since it is on ALL phones..regardless if people say they don't have it...they are lying or not testing it properly
it's almost like a guy who says he never masturbates....yea right! :laugh:
Oh crap.. i was thinking of exchanging my unit because it came from factory with a small hairline nick/scratch on the area above the line sensor. Everything else is mint except this part and it annoys the hell out of me. However, I don't have any small black marks nor blotches on my screen. I just tested with LCD Test and it is perfect. Now I don't know if I should exchange it now for risk of getting a bad lcd :/
Would you guys exchange it if you were in my position?

You have to use lcd test on black with maximum brightness, you have to be in nearly complete dark, and you have to let your eyes adjust to darkness. Otherwise, you won't see them. Even the capacitive key lights are bright enough to wipe them out.
It's really a nonissue, unless your phone is defective. Some people's phones are really defective, and they are even able to take photographs of those.
Normally, there's no way to see them in any real world use.
Is anyone's screen slightly raised up a bit near the volume and power buttons? Like maybe a few mm or less? This is my 2nd replacement, which also has this issue. I'm not sure if I should RMA again if others will end up like this. Is it normal, I would like to hear from others who have the 6P? If it won't fall off over time, I think I can live with it lol
Mine is not

Yes, i can see that at the top of the device glass is flush with metal rim, and on the side i raised 1mm, maybe less. But if you don't like it try to contact google and get new one again...

Considering my first unit was like this, I doubt the next one will be much dramatically better. I can live with it, but I am worried that it might get worse over time.

Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?
Anyone?
Can you show us a picture.

Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

so, ppl are telling you it's normal, but you're still asking ppl to tell you it's normal?

I might be a little OCD ambout my phone. The reason i am a little worried is because I do not remember my first unit having this. But on the first one I had a bad pinkish display....on this one the display is good...but i noticed today the different colors.

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P
