Hey. I got my tab from the USA and it works great. After two days, I noticed little dirt under the glass. I thougt its a stuck pixel but it is not. I can see it when the screen is black. It doesnt bother be and it is very hard to see, but how a small dirt got there?

Did you buy the tab new? If not, it might have had its screen or it's glass replaced. If the previous owner did it themselves and wasn't in a relatively dust-free environment, that could cause it. If the tab was new, it could mean that part of the screen isn't glued down as well as it should be. (You can test for this by pressing around the edges of the glass.) It could also mean that some dust got in there during assembly. (If the tab is new.) If it isn't bothering you, you can leave it. I don't really think it's worth sending away to Samsung. Apart from that, if it is a US tab, and you are outside of the US, you would have to ship it back to the US since the warranty is not global, but applies only for the country in which it was purchased. (This is tied to the serial number, so the US serial qualifies it for US warranty and disqualifies it for any other warranty.) Hope this helps.
I have the exact same thing. It's like a pixel sized dust. You can see it when tab is off under bright light. Noticed it 3 weeks after I got the tab. It is right below , left of the stereo input.
It looks like the dust is in between the protective layer and actual display. I did not know if these two layers are seperable. Not a big deal but would like to know if there is any fix.
My tab is brand new. I dont have warrenty in Israel but I can fix it here. Is the tab 100 percent dust sealed? I guess that dust and small dirt can enter any device...

I noticed it after 2 days. However, I can live with it. Most of the people wont even notice it.
Could it be the same as this

No. It is a pixel size dirt. Otherwize, this tablet is perfect.

I have another case of this. Perfect screen with one tiny spec. Hard to see it, but once you notice it... You notice it. I'm curious of possible fixes too.

I think you have to remove the glass and clean it... Anyway, its like to repaint your car when you a tiny scratch on it. For now I will leave it as it is.

The frame of my Tab wasn't fully glued when I got it. At least it felt like that, after a while of pushing it down from time to time it was fine. Maybe some dust got in there when the frame was coming out.
I had the same thing from the refurbished one I bought from Newegg. I called them instead of Newco and they told me to send it to them and they will replace it. So now the wait. I will keep you guys posted on what they do for me.
FWIW, it is not as simple as just removing the glass/digitizer from the display and cleaning it off. The digitizer (the glass on the front of the tab) is held in place by adhesive tape. The adhesive is about the width of the black border all the way around the screen, so about 1/2" or 50mm, the adhesive is also very, very strong. I'm sure you could get it off without damaging the digitizer, but it would be a long tedious process risking both the LCD and the digitizer itself. If you do manage to remove it without destroying it, then you clean it, and have to apply new adhesive, and replace it, and hope you didn't miss any dust.
Heat will help release the adhesive, but IMO there is still more risk than reward in doing this to a tab with a good digitizer. I have replaced the digitizer on my tab when it was broken, and I have got to say that it is a tedious process. In the end, I had everything as clean as possible outside a cleanroom, and I ended up with some dust specs under the digitizer. If it is under warranty, and you can utilize said warranty, that is definitely the way to go.
Also, the back side of the tab is not sealed at all. The glass should be sealed to the LCD, not the entire tab sealed in the back case. If anything, I could believe that dust could enter between the digitizer and LCD where the FPC cable exits the digitizer, there is a very narrow band of adhesive tape in this location. If it was going to fail, and let stuff in after manufacturer, I would guess it would be here.
Good luck,
Jason
Hope my experience can help someone!
Just bought G Note and a flip cover (not original one) in order to protect it as much as possible!
After some usage, i noticed circular area of the screen where S-Pen was not working! Started in reading about calibration issues, but nothing solved my problem...I therefore decided to wait until official ICS and, if problem still existing, to send phone to repair center
Searching every day on internet, I finally found the reason of my issue.....the magnetic closing clip of the cover (5-6 mm of diameter!)
It seems also clearly stated into Samsung's user manual....
Immediately removed the cover and after 5min..NO PROBLEM ANYMORE AT ALL...
These the very good point....actually the magnetic cover for all type of phone is not recommended!! It will effected our phone....

Thanks for the Info Mate!
It must be a particularly strong magnet on your case. I've been using mine trouble free as well.
How you determine if the case you are looking at has a strong magnet or not is another question...
Zuber
...attached you can find the incriminated cover (color is because Note is from my girlfriend ....even if I have G-Note too!!)
As you can see the magnet (I have removed it from the cover) is not big (thickness is something like 1mm). Approaching it to steel, it starts in exercising force at approximately 0.5cm!
As additional info, no problems were existing by writing with fingers! The issue is with S-Pen because the magnet interfere with it!
Here also the link where I could find my way out!....
....sorry..it seems it is forbidden to post external links!.....
I'm attaching an additional picture from this site with issue similar to my one, but bigger area (mine was something like 1.5 cm and located exactly on top of the clip)
I would definitely agree with that! I bought a quite expensive ZENUS cover purposely because it has a button on the front and not a magnet. Unfortunately there's a magnet at the back which is used to keep the stand at its place. 2 days after starting to use this cover I got s-pen problems presented exactly at the same screen area where the magnet was located. Lines got thinner and deviated at this area, so I had to rip off the magnet and replace it with Velcro. All problems are gone now.
have a Zenus too
Hi,
I bought a Zenus too, and I'm using it since February.
The magnet is quite small, never had any issues.
Can't post pictures, but its a kaki coloured brown, fake leather, and some stripes.

That's the one I got. Unfortunately I did't take screenshots of the display issue but it was located at the lower left part of the screen - just where the magnet sits at the back. The defect: nothing when trying to draw something over or fusiform deviation of the lines drawn in this area (when pressing harder) - just like the shape of a magnetic field...
p.s. as popo72 said - no problems when drawing with fingers.
could these cases hardbrick our note!?!? XD

Id say get another cover, the one i bought seems to have a weak magnet, just enough to hold it in place when closing. no problems whatsoever. you can get it for around 15 euros on the net if its to your liking.
here are the available colours:
Even a weak magnet will throw the compass off
I was using one until now.... thanks

ditch the flip cases... the note is beautiful as it is... bare naked
as for the fear of scratching the screen... i for one had doubts when i first got my note but i've had mine for 2 months now without a screen protector and not a single scratch...
i don't take special care with my note and i treat it as i would any other phones i've had... it goes in my pocket with keys and coins but so far no scratches.. makes me wonder other posts which says they scratched their screens so easily...
i'm happy with with my gorilla glass...

Depends on what you consider 'screen separation'
I've never... ever... in ALL the Nexus 7's i've seen/touched... i've never seen one where the left side of the screen was as perfectly level with the bezel as the right.
Not once (that wasn't modified after).
Do some people claim to have such a mystical device? Yes. But I've never witnessed one.
If the entire screen is like coming up by a noticeable amount, then by all means return it... but I'm pretty happy with my 32gb N7, even with the minor screen lift (which gives the left side a VERY minor spongy feeling) and a very very very small amount of lightbleed that's barely noticeable (on the top, full brightness, below the camera.. pitch black screen)
I DO have a 2yr SquareTrade warranty with ADH coverage, so if it cracks on my or something because of screen flex (you can see ripples on the left side with pressure).. I'm covered... but here's how I look at it; In 5-6 months when something might happen, there will be new Nexus 7's out with numerous build/design improvements, so I feel i'm better off waiting until I have to utilize the warranty (if I need to) instead of just trading it in constantly.. leaving me without a device.. hoping to win the N7 lottery. Did you guys know they changed the Power Management chip on the September and later models? All 32gb have the updated power management chip... it actually makes them incompatible with older roms.. I had no idea!
Screen lift sounds like a better description if I'm honest. You can't see it without really looking hard but I was just thinking if it maybe gets worse.

Take it back and ask for a refund. Then get a 32gb one for the same money.
No brainer really.
Having the glass not seated properly and having the edge of the glass exposed is just not smart engineering, it's going to make the glass more prone to breakage from minor falls. This is what makes me resistant towards buying one of these.. the bezels should protect and enclose the edge of the glass and the glass should be seated evenly when it's thin.. I've seen too many reports of people breaking the glass because of pressure from their thumb, or small drops. Maybe I just need to buy one and not be paranoid, but I'm not going to buy a product that doesn't encase the edges of the glass within the bezel securely. Make it thicker if there's not enough room and the screen is lifting inside the product. I'm not going to encourage bad engineering just so they can claim it's 1/16 of an inch thinner or a few grams lighter.
Oh well just before I decided to take it back, the company I purchased it from has gone into administration (comet here in uk) website is down and all looks bad.
Where do I stand now for my guarantee?

Hi everyone,
So the question is pretty clear I think, I want to know if the Nexus comes with its own screen protector from LG/Google?
Thanks!
Sort of. It has one front and back. It looks like it's not intended to be kept on there, because there is a tiny tab to remove it, but mine seems perfect so I still have it on after several weeks!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes and they are perfectly cut but the front one has volume and power button symbols on it though but work very well still got my back one on.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, the Nexus 4 comes with front and back ones. They are pretty high quality too-nothing like those 5-for-a-dollar ones you get on eBay or the one that comes on Samsung devices. Like somebody else said, there are pictures on the front of the power and two volume buttons. They aren't that annoying though. I took off the factory screen protector and put on my Skinomi a few weeks ago because I got it for that reason lol. I still have the back protector on.

Thanks everyone,
does the device arrive with the protectors on it or are they separate?
Why am I asking? Assuming they come on the device, I don't want to think that I haven't received the protectors.
Typically those are the shipping protectors, they should be on the device. They really aren't met to be left on but to protect the glass in the box during shipping from scuffs and dirt.

Yes and no.
You are for the most part right, but since they have cut outs for camera and proximity/light sensor, it's pretty clear they expected people to leave them on.
I received my Nexus 4 in the mail yesterday and have left the screen protector on it's actually better than most screen protectors that are pre-installed on devices. I also think the volume and power indicators are actually quite useful. I'm still getting used to the location of the power button (coming from an HTC Sensation where it was on top). Like someone mentioned the indicators aren't too distracting either.

No it does not. It comes with a film that is static applied as part of the manufacturing process but they are not meant to be used as screen protectors.
they're screen protectors in a sense that its to protect it while it ships to you, but not meant for long term use. it doesn't have a good glide for your finger.
the front screen is rather tough. I've had mine naked for 2 months and not a single scratch. you may want to leave the back one on until you find a more permanent solution if you really want a screen protector.
Did anyone here ever use the Wrapsol screen protector? I want to buy it (and the back protector of course) but I heard it has the orange peel effect - can anyone confirm/disprove this claim?

There are a lot of discussions about specific screen protectors in the Accessories forum
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I looks like one of the shiny things behind the rear glass have cracked.It's on the bottomleft, near the screw. I've had a xtremeguard screne protector on for a long time - I always thought it was an air bubble. Now that I removed the screen protector, I can see its under the screen.
Would google rma this? Or does it count as a "broken glass" ?
Pssh. That's not even close to minor damage. I wouldn't even consider that broken. It's not going to affect the phone's internal guts. Common sense my brotha.

I just hope it doesn't develop further
Personally I wouldn't worry about it. Not if Google would RMA the phone. I've read people RMA their phone for less.
