I just got mine today it is a great phone but then I noticed when I'm on a white screen I see a dark blotch or blur in the center of the screen..i call it a fish eye about the size of a pencil eraser.
Has anyone else seen this ? I'm returning it as soon as my replacement comes hope this isn't a common issue with the nexus and don't want to go through 10 returns before I get a good one.

Don't know if you'll be able to see it from this screen shot.
When you look at it close it looks just like a dimple in the screen behind the glass.

You probably have warped glass from the installation of the panel to the digitizer. One of mine had a bright yellow glue ring about 60-70% down the screen in the middle. Try angling the screen in different lights and see if you notice any wavering... Like a very faint ding on a car. I think whatever machine presses the screens down does it too hard.

You need to post a real pic. Screenshots won't show a physical defect.

Also got one in the top left of the screen (aftewr having the phone for only 2 weeks!). Will be taking it in for exchange or repair shortly. It's so small the service center might have trouble seeing it but I know it is there and I find it very annoying! This is not a cheap phone and I expect it to be perfect as I plan to be using it for the next year or 2.

Agree completely, Ive owned like 10 phones this year and this is my first dead pixel. Bad luck.
I have also one stuck white pixel visible only on grey background on close inspection.

Had one dead pixel as well. Just beleow the clock in the status bar(top right). It was visible only on dark-ish backgrounds. Have given the phone for replacement, hope the new one i get will have a perfect screen :\
Mine has two dead spots , one in the middle one around second row of keyboard.but I guessI am keeping my own as I barely feel them,I don't know even next would be perfect but anyways still this is the best gadget I ever owned.
Btw mine is Polish too.
None here, my screen doesn't seem to have any issues that are hardware related
I posted last night that there is this really small white dot on my screen. It only visible on light colors like white . But its not visible if the color is really dark. Like on you tube where the search option is it not visible but when i go to Facebook i can see right next to my notification but its small. Anyways is there a way for it to go away? This phone is only like a day old :/ & it was bigger last night but it got smaller because i played a video that repeated blue red and green fast because i heard it make stuck pixel go back to normal.
Also is it a dead pixel or stuck?
Return the phone if you can't live with it.

BDW, OP can u please post the picture of your white case on N4? Or u can PM me the link if u upload elsewhere.
I'd RMA it, pretty sure they'll replace it free of charge. Although it's just a pixel, stuck and/or dead pixels annoy the crap out of me because once you notice them, you can't stop looking at them every damn time!

Depends on Google/LG's interpretation - Samsung don't except anything under 5 pixels as faulty

I just saw a white pixel on the middle of the screen but I can only appreciate it at dark, when screen is black and brightness set to maximum (which I never have on dark environment). Was that an issue for you? I really have to look for it for a while in any other case. Pixels are sooo small. Don't even bother to rma. No other issue with the phone.
I'm thinking it's just a pixel stuck in a grey colour because it so difficult to see.

tonight or tomorrox I'm gonna command a new one, I already called google.

I have the same issue but luckily it's right at the top under the notification bar so only see it very occasionally when I turn to landscape in Gmail or something.
One thing that annoying me on my nexus 4. You can see on the left of my screen, straight dark line from top to bottom. I haven't drop my nexus before. It appeared on dark colours especially grey colours. For your info its start to appeared when 10 minutes screen on after about 20 minutes screen off. Is it normal? Anyone here have the same problem?

Holy damn. I was just about to make a thread. But mine can't be screenshot. Its seen just like you said and I can flick the different home screens and it stays in the left I've flashed back to stock and still there. Been a week. It got less noticeable when used less. I'm wondering if its because I'm near a big subwoofer in my living room. I know TV used to do this like a bleed line. Have you heard any data yet??? I will send mine back. Please let me know...

Hi guys... I just noticed that in the top left corner of my Nexus 4 where the light sensors are...it looks like a bit foggy ...and that area isn't that black like the rest of the screen is. Is this a sign of screan coating peeling off? foggy steam that zips underneath the screen? or just a defect? I always wipe my screen and it's not noticable at first glance. But if you glare it with some light u can see " a smudge like foggyness..that no matter how you wipe it it doesn't come off. Can I still return this for defects? or how much does it cost to get it repaired? pls. thank you.
I posted a picture take a look -_-
Dude I have the same thing! Except its on the bottom left corner. If I wipe it with a microfiber cloth it seems to go away but comes back soon after using it. On a side note I noticed two scratches one horizontal and one vertical near the middle right its annoying the crap out of me now. Are there any products I could use to minimize the scratch without using a screen protector?

I'm not sure aoubt your issue but mine if i sitck it out in the sunlight i can see 2 shades on the area with and without the screen. Not sure if its the same as yours though.

how do i return it and get a replacement? It has 1 year warranty right? I just have to relock the boot loader and unroot it?
It will keep happening eventually, I believe they sell a kit to re coat it

Not really you only see it when you wipe the screen as the oil sticks to that part more, once cleaned you don't see it.

Relock your bootloader & unroot it before sending it back.
You have to ring them up tell them your problem they sort out the RMA from there.
hey so i just got my nexus 7 2nd gen and it is somehow lightleeding red?? Anyways i attached some pics, should i return it? It only happens when the screen is black
Nah just let it be.....even if it starts to talk or do jumping jacks.
We must learn to let our tablets be themselves. If it wants to bleed red light dont judge it embrace it and support it.
If it wants to randomly shut off and crack its own screen let it be.
Off course return it lol!!
lol yeah i guess i should but some reported the next one they got was even worse lol. Also i bought from ncix, anyone know if they would take returns from light bleeding?

Just curious, can you show a picture of the normal screen not black but with something displaying?
Is the brightness all the way up?
Is it red looking just from the side? How does it look when using normally? I would return it if it looks messed up under normal use.

Well i think im not gonna return it. Only can be seen on the side and only when its a black screen. After using it for today i did not notice at all when using it. Probably wont be staring at a black screen a lot so i think i should be okay.
That's good news. I'm glad it will be ok for you.
I've never tested mine for lightbleed.
