I received my Nexus 4 in the mail today. Opened it, set it up, noticed immediately in the Google Now app that the whites were yellow compared to my AT&T LG Optimus G (E-970). Since LG seems to manufacturer both screens (though I can't confirm that), why is the Nexus 4's screen so much more yellow? This is before the 4.2 software update, by the way:

I know camera white balance can throw images like these off, but they appear to my eyes exactly like they do here.
My LGOG was never like this out of the box, as I would have noticed it for sure (since the LG's white is the same as my computer screen's.)
Any thoughts? Are all Nexus 4s affected by this 'warmer' screen tint?
That's just how my new replacement n4 is. Has an ugly yellow tint over the entire screen. My original had a yellow bar along the bottom of the screen... Which was annoying but the complete yellow tint is worse yet!

I was just wondering if any other owners noticed that the Nexus S has considerable more vertical banding than their previous handset.
My previous phone was a Vibrant and the Nexus seems much worse? Like when you pull the notification bar down you can see the vertical bands against the dark background or if you look at the background of the Gallery. It's very noticeable so I'm wondering if my phone is the only one like this or if it is a common issue with this phone?
Errr take a picture :S
Sounds like stuff related to pentile, and Nexus S not having the mDNIe part of the Super AMOLED screen, compared to other Galaxy S phones.
I saw the same thing...but its the touchwiz gallery has inhancements that make it look better.....watch on your vibrant pic an image side by side with your nexus....watch how when you click on the image it looks just like the nexus dose then it inhaces it where the ribbons dissopear....I've done it so I know...try it out

Noticed the same thing on my Samsung Focus.
It may just be the image quality of your picture, but mine is not nearly as bad as that. In fact mine is hardly even noticeable.
I exchanged mine with another one. The banding on my first one was more noticeable than the picture in this thread. The new has it a little bit but it is much clearer.
I just got my nexus few days ago from my friend who just came from America. I am happy with it. Today I installed an app to check dead pixel and what I found was yellow spot around the corners, it seems like the screws are too tight causing the yellow spot. What I mean by yellow spot is something that happens when you press the screen with force.

(it can be clearly seen on bottom left corner)
I tried to open the cover and loosen the screws but it didn't help.
Does anyone here have the same problem and have the fix for it?
It's really annoying to see those yellow spots.
I guess no one has this problem.
And I have no way to return this nexus :crying

I have the same issue, but for now is only visible in high brightness level. I can live with it.
Exactly, and it is only visible when the background is black.
For now I can live with that but I am afraid it will get worse, do you think it will?

looks like really bad light bleed, bleed is when you can see uneven lighting along the edge of the display when looking at a dark image, if loosening the screws didn't help and you cant live with it gonna have to exchange or RMA..
I have no way no return my nexus 7, and I am not currently living in states. I got this nexus 7 from my friend. Well, I guess I have to live with it, until someone finds a proper fix.

In my Nexus 7 (C7O 8GB from playstore) appeared after 3 days of usage, and although it seems to be worse, I think it's not as bad as other issues seen here.
Sorry for my bad English.
Looking at the pictures on Google Play the bezel seems black now, not silver. Or is this just the lighting?
All the I/O units were black around the edge. The images on the play store are obviously not photographs so it may be an oversight, but in this rendering it still looks silver to my eye:

Pulling my own box, I can confirm this.
Nice catch.
Didn't cought my eye and "eye" love facts like that.
Might even have been the better choice, because I already have a few scratches around the edges of my Nexus7.
Should have been black all along !
It may have been a last minute decision to colour it silver, the corners of mine have rubbed and it is black underneath. Perhaps the plastic had some visual imperfections that were easier to 'fix' with a coat of silver?
I'm not sure but I think the ones with white back cover have a black frame. I've never seen a white one with silver frame anyway.
Hi All,
Been a while since I've visited since purchasing a Nexus 4.
Anyway, my Defy had a cracked screen so I got a new touch screen digitizer to put in it so my daughter could use it.
Got it installed just fine, without any issues.
However, shortly after installing it I noticed this odd grid showing up on the screen. It's only visible when the phone screen is dark colored.
You can see a photo of the grid in this post on Google+. EDIT: Also attached the image to this post.

Anyone have any ideas why that grid is showing? It's not a big deal, as my 3 year old daughter hasn't even noticed it. But if I were still using that phone it's something that would drive me insane. I'm mostly just curious as to why it's there.
Thanks!
I can't be certain but I also had the digitizer replaced and right away I noticed the grid. From what I understand each square is point to recognize touch. From looking at your pictures I would say that mine is not as prominent and I only see mine in lighter screens. I'm going to say its because it's not an original motorola defy replacement because when I compare with my other one (yes I have 2) there is no grid at all and the capacitive buttons are very different looking on the new one. I'm still trying to decide if I can live with it or not cause sometimes it does bug me.

Anyone having this problem with one side of the screen being brighter? Very noticeable on Grey's and some blues.

Not at all, are you using a custom launcher with a desktop shadowing? Maybe just return it for a new one.

yep mine is the like that..
in settings menu you can actually see that the top is darker "blue" and the bottom is much brighter "blue" tone...
the same problem was on the Note 3 just not so visible because the menues was black toned
Mines similar too. Brighter on left hand side in portrait mode.

I don't see a reason to return it for a new one, because it on all Galaxy amoled devices.. S4, Note 3 and S5... I've had 4 Note 3 not because of faults and the all had this problem some more and some less... but it was there...
In the store I work I've seen it on all Galaxy S4 and note 3 devices... it's especially easy to see on a grey color..
on the S5 its a bit easier to se because of the color they choose for the background color in settings menu, you can actually see that on all the S5 devices I've handled including my ovn. the settings background is darker in the top and brighter at the bottom.. they all had a bit of variation..
Using the dead pixels test app, mine is evenly shaded
However, on the settings menu, the top does seem darker than the bottom. It seems samsung intended it to shade it that way
