Screen 'color spill/leak' issue. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm not sure what to call this issue and I haven't seen it before, please point me in the right direction if it's elsewhere, I honestly am not sure what to search for.
I noticed today that I suddenly have this odd "leak" of color in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Sort of a small patch of orange. Tried to take a photo with my Nexus 4 but it's quite hard to make out on camera. Any idea what this is? Is it definitely hardware? Reckon it can be returned? I haven't done anything to cause the issue.

They seem like semi stuck pixels.. try a pixel fixer from the market and see what happens.

Thanks for that, forgot to reply at the time but it seemed to help/fix it but it's returned now and doesn't seem to be helping.
I'll leave it a while see what happens before flashing new stuff, it it's still there I guess I'll try return it.

so many stuck pixels.. i really like this tab butt....

I got mine today and i like this tab, its a nice one! Only when i rebooted into recovery i was a little shocked about the stuck pixels i have. More then 10.... Am i the only one ? and if not can this be fixed ?
If they're just stuck, you can try downloading a stuck pixel fixer app (sorry, don't know an exact name of one offhand, lol). I've had moderate success using them in the past. I currently have one stuck pixel that I know of, but it's in the corner and usually hidden so it hasn't made me go crazy yet.

10 stuck pixels or even more than that? Definitely goes to warranty. I myself have only 1 stuck pixel and it's almost all the way to the side so it doesn't bother me in the least. I've seen plenty of people having exactly that: 1 or 2 stuck/dead pixels, and atleast to my eye that isn't much. You're the first one I see who is having way more than that, though, so I don't think it's too common.
Yeah 1 pixel i can handle but ten... it's just a little bit too much.
Well actually there are 13...

Screen problem

OK, I've only noticed this now, but as you can see by the image, the right side of the screen seems like, well I dont how to explain it. Anyone know what it is, possibly how to fix it?

I think the word your looking for is normal.
Lol
But seriously i dont see anything wrong
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
I don't see anything wrong either. Is there something physically wrong with the screen? Screenshots won't show that obviously.
Unless you mean that the screen is shifted to the right, then the screen is fine. If it is because of shifting to the right, it might be more of an app issue not hardware.

I've got this issue, seems to be software related for me. It renders parts of the screen (ONLY grey area in settings, only place where I can get this colour atm). I will try re-flashing stock roms and trying different things to see if this issue can be fixed.
It's the background gradient in the settings. A solution would be to find the image and replace it. You'll have to dig through some apks though.

Stop... MUFFIN TIME!!!
Its a Google software issue.. Alot of people have the same problem even if they don't realize it

If you look closely its on every Nexus 7, it's just Google being weird with the gradients.

[Q] Keyboard bug?

Hello every one. This bug has been present since my phone did its first boot. Apparently, when my keyboard retracts or disappears after I'm done typing, it leaves a big white block behind it for a few seconds. You can try using the Facebook app. Search up a name, but don't click on any one. Then hit the back/down key. (Software buttons). If you guys don't have any problems, what are your suggestions? I tried asking this on the "help" thread, but no one would answer me. Thanks!
Bump! Am I the only one with this!!?
It looks like this....
I have honestly never seen this

Yea I get that, lasts for maybe half a second for me. How long is yours? I don't think I'd be able to take a screenshot of mine its too fast.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Mine lasts for 3 seconds at the most took me a while to finally take a picture of that white block lol.I just got lucky perhaps. Its odd this happens though.
Try updating to 4.2.2 if u haven't already? Or try a keyboard from the market and see if its still present on that?

Yup! already had the OTA update. Its still present. I also tried swiftkey 3. It didint fix it. I may have to end the keyboard process to reset it, but apperently I cant because its in use in the backround .
DO you think I just have to live with it then ?

[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...

Display of black weird

Anybody an idea whether this is a display damage? Black appears not normal.

Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.
Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.
I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.
I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.
Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.
I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see
Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.
