Screen defect.. Is this hardware or software? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I sold my nexus 4 previously but just re purchased one because nothing out there matches the smoothness of this beauty..
But anyway I've noticed some weird screen bugs happening now and again and wanted to know if its hardware or software?
I'm running PA with Franco. I'm guessing I need a replacement but just thought id get another opinion first
Thanks

Since it's visible in screenshots, it's 100% software. Flash the stock images and see if that helps

Thanks ill give that a go.. i did find it a little weird that it showed on screenshots too

Still doing it after flashing factory image... no apps installed or anything custom... its so strange

I had a HTC sensation 3g that did this I ended up having to get a hardware replacement to fix it. I never had that problem before or after that phone

Weird lines on screen

Well, it started yesterday and it keeps driving me nuts. It's present both in the system as well as 4ext or even the splash screen so it is definitely a hardware issue. Is there any way to get rid of them because my contract ends in november but I was going to stay with my DHD and get myself a PS3 (very nice offer from my carrier)
It looks like that, it's not a screenshot but it looks exactly like that:

what seems to be an officer problem?
the faint horizontal lines on the screen. That is only a picture but live they also flicker.
You could try replacing the screen yourself, but it could happen that the gpu is the problem, in which case you can't do anything on your own...

I remember having the same issue right after I bought my DHD and I remember rooting and reflashing it helped I recently changed my Radio software, you think it might have anything to do?
It's not hardware. I get it on the current versions of the 3 kernel. Synergy said it was to do with fb (not sure what it is) and he's working on it.

I can't answer as to what caused this, but I had this happen on a kindle fire before. If you are running a ROM, then reflash gapps, and you should be fine. If you are running stock, I don't know what to do.

That's the problem, I forgot to mention that; everywhere on the internet the say that i should reflash Gapps, but i'm running stock ...
You could try to flash the gapps over stock; they are the same apps... But I don't know of anything else that you could do. Sorry

Nexus 7 deepsleeping while charging?

As the title says I'm a little confused about the way how nexus 7 acts when charging. I have never even noticed this thing before but it seems that my nexus 7 is sleeping while it charges. I have tried many combinations like stock ROM+stock kernel , cm11+cm kernel, cm11+ franco and cm11+M-kernel. Every time I check cpu spy I see that device has been almost all time deepsleeping. I'm using the stock charger.
Here's example screenshot (sort period yes, but there you can see it):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've read many forums and I have experiences with other devices that deepsleep shouldn't be there during charging due charging process. Device works otherwise fine and it charges normally but I'm just wondering if something is wrong on the hardware side. Some information and experiences with other nexus 7 devices would be highly appreciated! I know this is almost meaningless thing, but I'm just curious to know if this is some kind of feature of nexus 7 or if I just have sleepy unit
Thank you!

Do you use snapchat? I had this issue occasionally happen to my GS4 when I had switched from snapchat camera to another app or the home screen and then to the stock samsung camera.
I solved it by closing both apps and restarting the one that I needed. I haven't experienced this issue with my GS5 yet, but I've been using it for less than 24 hours.
Yep. Returned mine yesterday for a replacement yesterday. Factory reset 3 times and even had the Samsung rep wipe it from scratch with Samsung image. No dice. Said it was a hardware failure. Get it returned soon.

No, just using stock apps. Thanks for the advice, heading in now to get replaced!
Just replaced it with new..
Facing the same Issue on T-mobile SM G900T.
Talked to Samsng support online, but they say that replacements aren't a part of Samsung's policy. Bull****. Should've got myself a M8 :/

Camera Fatal Error Stock Android 9

Just bought the phone brand new yesterday and the camera doesn't open YouTube won't load at all either. Very annoying to say the least may exchange today at Best Buy or switch to something else entirely.

Have you tried updating the software?
Yeah the software was up to date I even reflashed the factory image. Good news is I exchanged it at Best Buy last night and the new one is working great
