Yellowing on Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quite recently it's becoming more and more noticeable on white backgrounds that my nexus is growing on 'yellow spots'.
Has anyone had this issue? Did a replacement resolve it?
Thanks

If you search, there's plenty of thread about this yellow screen and yellow spot, they are both different problem. I have a yellow spot when the phone warms up, my wife phone have a yellow tint screen while my is a cool white screen. Nothing much you can do about the yellow spot if you have it, people will say it will go away when the glue dry, but that's just bull****. deal with it or rma to see if you get a better phone.

White spots on the bottom

New Nexus 7 tonight, I notice white spots on the bottom (right side of screen), see picture.
Confirmed with another nexus 7 owner they didn't have those spots...
Is this normal or should I RMA it?
that is called "light bleed". I don't know the extend of damage that it will do if you keep this nexus 7..
but if I were you..I will just return and get another nexus 7 with no light bleed .....
almost all tablets have had this problem...including the ipads....

Yes... not normal light bleed. Looks like they didn't align something right.

Nexus 7 Defects (Software or Hardware)

Well as many of you posted you had flawless Nexus I pulled the trigger but for my horror I got a Lemon.
First I thought I had only the screen lift but after two weeks It have started to develop Screen Flicker and the slightest screen bleed in the right corner... a black pixel line when I open a hard task or its charging something.... the screen not responding and the ghosting :banghead: to my other horror I can't return it cause my father bought it to me and I'm in Mexico so no return but I wanted to know what are Software related and what are hardware related

So the Screen Separation is Hardware as the Screen Bleed
But the flicker, the sudden line that I just see like one a day and the ghosting that goes away with a reboot are all hardware?! The HTC titan had the ghosting too and with an update it went away

Well actually the screen flicker can be fixed by running a script. Look for the thread that says screen washout out fix. It will disable the nvidia smart dimmer. And the screen lift can be fixed' Google it . And not sure what the this "ghosting" is.

Well first I don't know if when going from homescreen to homescreen and seeing the icons going from side to side it looks like it leaves a trace behind that disappears after a couple of milliseconds and I don't know if its just an animation or ghosting.....and second is after being in my social homescreen the white parts stay onscreen in the background until I reboot but that only happened once and never again

IIRC you used the clamp and heat method to try and reactivate the glue. Best of luck, but that approach has been temporary for most users.
And you telling him to Google it would almost certainly lead to him fiddling with the screws, which is even less effective than the clamping.
Here is the only fix known to work. It's a delicate procedure and I wouldn't recommend it unless your lift is severe, GalaxyDev.
Sorry for your troubles, but hopefully you can see past these flaws and enjoy the tablet as is. I'm sure this device is a rare sight in Mexico.
The only reason why I considered that is because my screen lift is so minor, its like a hair lifted so my guess is the adhesive needs rebonding.

Yellow spots when warm

Hi guys has anyone experienced yellow marks on the screen after a bit of usage? Specifically, mine appear just above the soft keys.
Any clue as to whether these will fade after time ala iPhone? My first one x had them in places and they wouldn't disappear.

[Q] Nexus 4 weird display issue

I got my Nexus 4 yesterday, and just today I've noticed that when in dark screen (locked, or simply the settings page) and outside of the house I see kind of weird black lines on the whole display screen, going form top to bottom making some 3 small square shapes after the others all over the display, can be obviously seen when display facing bright sky outside in almost any angel, but in room light barely can see them with certain angels.
will make a photo of it asap.
p.s. I've never seen a notification light yet on the middle bottom of my device.
Anyone same "problem" with display?
Its the digitizer.

Could you link an example image from goolge or something to make sure it is what I mean? can't seem to find something alike..is this normal?
I can confirm that its the digitizer I too have found that with this phone it is very easy to see even with weak light I see it when I get the right angle. It looks like you described but the vertical lines look more like dots arranged neatly than lines on mine.

Just noticed the same thing on my device. Thought I was tripping out maaaaaaan

Its the digitizer, its normal. I think its because of the "zero gap" technology thing ; the display and the digitizer are right below the glass.
As for the notification light, download Lightflow from the Play Store. Works great.

For the notification LED, make sure you enable the " Pulse notification light" option in Settings->Display. Using Lightflow on top will give you lots of customisation options though.

I am now noticing the same issue in my nexus 4. If it is because of zero gap technology then why it is not there in iPhone 5 and other phones which use this technology?
I also notice that my brother who got the phone some time in November 2012 is not having this issue. I got the phone in Jan 2013...is it issue with only the new lots?
What google and LG are doing to address this issue?

Its the digitizer. I mean seriously why are y'all complaining about that, its normal.

Phone Screen

I recently had my nexus 4 screen repaired on the replacement part there is a 90 day warranty that is still going on. However I have started to see small white dots that appear when the screen shows lighter colors. I did not see this before it was repaired. I brought it back and they said that it wasn't a problem with the LCD and didn't replace the piece. But it seems to have gotten worse and there are these dots in other places. Does anybody have any idea how this could be fixed or what the problem is? Thank you.

Take a picture. There are some dots that create a pattern and can be seen when there screen is off but that's normal
