If its a dead pixel just reboot your phone it goes away

Change the background and see if it goes away... if not, rma it

I've rebooted and changed the background. Still there. How long does it normally take to RMA the device knowing there out of stock?

One dead pixel won't get an RMA.

if it is near the middle he might get it..
try pressing on it with pressure

Use pixel fixer from Google play and fix it that way.

Um no , I really thought it was a theme or the wallpaper

RMA for 1 dead pixel?

[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.

[Q] Dark line on my screen.

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...

Those little spots are normal as well.. My nexus 7 has that and most phones do
As for the first pic.. That is the IPS touch sensor

I believe that is what LG calls "Zero Gap Technology". Its not a defect.
