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.

^ same here :s
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.

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.

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 have had my Nexus 7 for around 3 weeks, it was perfect, I was so happy with it and I had no problems with the screen lift/bleed like many other people. I knew it was risky to buy the first batch after all of the problems reported on these forums, but now my Nexus 7 has the blue and red stuck pixels that are only visible on a black background with the brightness turned up, I can also see them when I boot the tablet. I have added pictures below, although it makes it look like the screen is bleeding, it is not, it is just the way the photo was taken. I bought it from Tesco Direct so I have a week left to return it, should I or is it risky because I could get a device with even more faults?
Thanks
From those photos it looks like there is no problem at all. Where are we supposed to be looking? Are they in the middle of the screen?
The judgement call is yours. Can you live with the fault? If you can't take it back. The chances of repeatedly getting a dud are slim.

Yes. It is the purple streak, sorry for being unclear, this is my first post on this forum, I guess I should have circled it in red.
You could try one of the many dead pixel apps from google play

Do you buys have light bleed from the top right of your screen? The way I see it clean as day is when my brightness is on full blast and a black screen. If you download the app screen test and test the colors what do u guys see?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
every nexus 4 i saw so far had light bleed from the top of the screen closer to the right edge. cant do much about it...
OK just making sure I'm not the only one. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yup me too. Glad to see im not alone. :good:
My first one didn't have it, but my RMA has one. Try the Paranoid Android rom. The color preferences in the new build are helpful in decreasing the bleed. Also Try themes which don't use black color bar like Lunar UI and Popstyle.
I tried to RMA the RMA but when I called the call center and said that I had a "light bleed" they din't understand a thing and I had to explain it myself. The reason I didn't RMA the phone because the employ pissed me off saying "have you tried to reboot the phone once again while charging it?"
Yes I noticed that right when I turned on the phone but those little thing doesn't really bother me.. I'm happy to own a nexus for just 400 bucks it saved me a couple hundred bucks which I used to pay my bills

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...

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.
