I didnt notice it until I fired up an episode of Lost, but one of the corners is yellow. It's a gift for my dad who will mostly be using it for night time reading and it's gonna be glaringly noticeable there. Anyone else got this? Wondering if I should wait before hitting up customer support or do it now.
Ive seen this before on a few other devices when they are brand new. Its something to do with the adhesive not being completly set and it should go away.

leave the screen on for awhile then?
Not sure if that helps. For me it just went away after a few days.
If you dont hear of anyone else having this issue i would return it. Ill check mine when I get it tomorrow.

Mine literally was just delivered to my office not 10 minutes ago and I have it charging away. I don't see anything like this that your describing on mine right now but I have also not done anything with mine other than plug it in.
Mine looks fine. I would wait a week and see if it goes away.

One for my wife showed up and I played with it for an hour or so while she was out setting it up and checking it out. I thought it was decent for what it is.
No issues with the screen. For what she is looking for... it is great so far.
Contact Amazon 8663218851 for a replacement.
yeah they're sending me a new one. It's for a christmas present for my dad so I'm not worried.
If anyone was wondering you can totally sideload ADW and have it work.
Mine's fine. no tint issues.

Im under my 30 days so I've takin my phone back twice already for a new one. The first on was a 0004 the second was a 0003 and now I have a 0004 again. It seems like the 0004s are a little snappier when launching apps and navigating through the general UI itself. Or am I just hallucinating. I'll tell you something else! When you first get the phone its set to vibrate when you touch the soft keys and the keyboard. The 0003 vibrated a lot more when you hit the keys which I didn't like. The 0004 is more faint vibration. I'll be trading thus guy in for a new one again this week because the screen is lifting already straight out of the box

WoW! So many in 30 days, what do they say when you take it in? I have one thats under the 30 and has one stuck pixel, I had decided to just keep it (0003) but if its really that easy, why now, lol. Do you get a fresh set of 30 days when you get the new one???
No my 30 days is up the 25th

When I push down on the bottom .left corner of the screen I can watch it pill back up. From what I've read around the internet it only gets worse and to take it back if you can. Maybe radio shack is getting crap phones who knows. All I know is that I'm under my thirty days and its worth another try to get one that is exceptible in my eyes. It's not exceptible for a screen to be separating from the phone itself right outta the box. There are standards to be upheld.

I agree, I would not settle for a screen separating at all! I am gonna keep my phone with the one stuck pixel though. To much to do, setting phone up and all for just one pixel. My luck the replacement would have 2 stuck pixels! lol
Good Luck

I took my first one back right after my 30 days because the usb port was falling apart. Two weeks later, I took the second one back because the software was bugging out & the phone wouldn't boot. Neither were rooted & I have insurance, so it was super easy and free. I got this one, rooted it, and that was in December & I've had no problems.
I agree about the haptic feedback on the 003s. I hate it, it feels like a toy or something. I dial it down to barely noticeable in CM Settings, but the 004s still feel smother.
Does anybody else have this problem? If I run my fingers along the edge of the screen it is flat and slightly below the bevel which is normal. When I get to the left side about a half way down, the screen bulges out a little bit and sits flush with the bevel instead of being a little recessed. I feel like it's gotten worse since i've got the Kindle, mb like the battery is pushing out the screen?
I don't know if I'm accurately describing it. For example, if I run my fingernail from the center of the screen out to the edge, the bevel catches my fingernail except for at that part where the screen is bulging outwards on the left side middle ways down.
Mine does the same thing. I think that the adhesive is malfunctioning. I'm taking mine back to Target on Friday.

I never noticed it before but if I feel for it it's there. You can see it if you sight down the left edge with one eye. Very minor but I wonder if we are all going to start experience the "fire swell" in the future
Dammit!!! Mine does it too. Wasn't a problem until I looked for it!
I noticed mine like a month ago. It has slowly been getting worse. I bought the day it was released. I wonder if this is an issue with just the first released Fires or not. For those of you that just noticed, when did you purchase your KF?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Yeah, my kindle fire faces the same error.
Mine has it too, but doesn't seem like something to worry about.
The screen doesn't get hot in that area so I don't think it will eventually break out or something. It's a manufacturing defect.
Ok so I'm not alone. I wonder if I should get an exchange, I have a lot of dust on the top left hand corner too probably getting in from the speaker.
none here, got my kf for christmas from someone who probably bought it in early-mid december from amazon.com.

Got mine mid to late January @ BB. What it's the warranty on this thing?
Hello , I've had my Nexus 4 for about two weeks now. Tonight I was looking at an app that had a solid white background and I noticed in the upper right portion of my display a small anomaly. It's hard to see it directly in front of you. But if you look at it at an angle from the bottom ( I was laying in bed looking upwards towards the phone) you an kinda see it. It's almost like a line in the screen. Where you can almost see light behind it. It's about a 1/8 inch. It's brighter towards the screen but fades out more in the middle of the screen and doesn't go all the way across. Anyone know anything about this? If I have to send this back for warranty do I need to flash back to stock? Is Google like everyone else or are they cool with the flashing.. I would like to get this fixed. It's small but now I can really notice it... Anyone else got an opinion or thought?

The rule is if you're not happy, get it exchanged. Mine has really barely visible lines on white screens, but I don't really notice it. But I still might give google a call...I have had it since November though...

Called Google last night and ordered a replacement. Is it necessary to return everything to stock? Will they try to give me a hassle over warranty replacement with a custom rom? Yeah now that I've seen it it's driving me crazy lol...

For some reason my screen has a bunch of little squares and lines when my screen is turned off. Seems a little odd but don't know if this is normal? Maybe just how the display is?

Had the same problem. Looked like a crack under the glass. Got a replacement that is much better. I reflashed Mine to stock before sending back though not sure if it's necessary.
DO reflash & relock bootloader.
The rule is if you're not happy, get it exchanged.

Just started using my GS4 to watch Netflix and areas of the screen were completely dark red. The picture wasn't pixilated at all, but there we clumps of this red mess here and there in every frame. So it's not that the video wasn't loading correctly.
Is anyone else having this issue? What could this be?
Also, this is already a replacement device but I am still in my 14 day return period. Will I have any luck with AT&T giving me a second replacement since, yet again, I got a shotty device?
I left Samsung behind after having problems with the Infuse... Came back to them for the S4 thinking I was going to get top of the line. Seems like there QC dropped the ball though.

What's the condition you got your tablet in? Were there any defects?
Prostrate. Definitely prostrate. Tablet was perfect though. Mods - humor can only be suppressed so far.

Factory sealed.
Why do you ask?
Are people getting used, physically damaged ones?
Odd question. Regardless, my 32 gig unit from Memory Express in Calgary, Alberta was perfect, the box was in great shape, fully sealed and not damaged. The tablet had it's plastic protector wrapped around it, all accessories also as expected.

Maybe they're asking if it arrived without any defects?
IDK....
Mine was Ø defects.
I don't know exactly if this is suppose to be like this...But I've noticed that my N7 Gen2 arrived with these strange little "knicks", "dings" or indents...Whatever you wanna call them....Right between where the edge of my device is and where the screen starts.
It's a very minor defect if it is one...So I won't be returning it as everything else is perfect on it, and isn't exactly worth the hassle.
Like others, mine was factory sealed, the battery had about a 40% charge (I picked it up at a local Staples store).
My n7 came factory sealed but it has an oil slick on the back around the nexus label. In addition, I have noticed some of the reported problems with the gps and momentary freezing when I'm using a browser. Otherwise, I am quite happy with my n7.

Hmm...I tried taking pictures...But they're pretty small, and I don't exactly have a super good camera (N4). The pictures I tried taking, just had light reflecting in the area I'm talking about.
Here is what I got:
!NOTE!: The very bright part at the top isn't what im talking about..Thats just light reflecting...But you can sort've make out in the very corner, the "dings" I was talking about. This is all around the device in the crack between where the screen (glass/whatever) and the device edge. As I said...Its minor for me, and not really worth taking back.

The tablet was used! Smudges all over the place! In fact, someone had already downloaded and installed angry birds!
I specifically remember asking Best Buy to ship me a brand new model!

Kidding. Thread seems oddly worded. Sounds like 'did the tablet arrive in new condition or used', rather than, 'did your tablet have any defects'?

Odd, I thought I was the only one. Picked mine up at a local Wal-Mart on a whim and was expecting a pristine N7 like my first four 2012 N7s. Checked the seals on the box just in case and they were all good, but was surprised to see what looked like a smudge/fingerprint on the screen after taking off the plastic (not mine, obviously) as well as little nicks on the top left edge right in between the screen and the back. Almost looks like as if someone tried to pry the thing open... the device itself works perfectly with no issues so I'm still trying to decide if it's worth taking a gamble and exchanging it for a new one.
Brand new. Still sealed. No issues or problems so far. 32GB Model Nexus 7

Picked first at Staples had been opened (seal on white box ropes) and plastic taken off abs it was already on. The screen was just off. In fact I looked at battery stats and it showed the tablet on just for a sec and not awake until 7 days later when I got it. I returned BC it had a dead pixel. Second was sealed and all however I am having multi touch issues. Just my luck.

Mine also had a similar situation around the edge and I also have a small spec of im assuming dust under the screen but it doesn't bother me too much so i wont return it.
