Has anyone experienced the screen washing out on one side? It started two days ago. The left side is fine, but the right side is only showing blues, yellows and grays.
I'm trying to post a photo of it but no luck.

My N7 16gb (ssn: C70K) has a similar issue with the screen being perfect on the left side (bright whites and colors) but slightly grey-ish on the right side.
You should return/exchange that unit if you can. Remember screen problems almost always worsen with time. If its annoying you now, six months from now it will be a nightmare.
I sent them an email and got their generic message back. Hopefully I get something with an RMA number tomorrow.
Just out of curiosity, did you try to charge your unit with anything other than the cable and charger it came with?

Yeah the right side of my screen is a lot warmer/ more orange looking.
It drives me nuts on white backgrounds since the left side looks white and brighter.
I'm beyond the Staples return period so I might call Asus, I don't know.

Nope. Only charged with stock charger connected directly to a wall outlet. Also, only charged the unit to 100% one time so far.

That's a relief. I was worried that my issues were due to using an different cable and charger.

Hey guys,
I bought my nexus 7 a few days ago and noticed a very minor screen lift on the left center side.
After examining it again today, I think I might have an extension of the screen lift.
Is anybody else experiencing the same problem?
Yep...

yep, dont even bother sending it in..it'll come in worse shape(ive sent it in twice, first time the glass came back pretty much separated, second time they fixed the separation, but killed 30% of the touch response)
I've a case that closes kinda tight (blue-rex slim case)
My screen separation has been better since I first got it.
If it's the glue getting warm, then the case is holding it flat until it cools?
Mine started with a lift on the left side. Today I'm getting creaking noises on both sides if I apply light pressure.

Mine has stayed the same. Not horrible but there in the same place as yours.

Yup, gets consistently worse. My one now has so much give on the left hand side that the plastic creaks and clacks together as I hold it.
I'll be RMA-ing this thing every few weeks for the life of the warranty I think.
I just got a c8 a few days ago.. haven't noticed screen lift as of yet. Should I try to exchange it for a c9 while I still can?

So you're saying that every n7 with screen lift has it out of the box, and it doesn't happen after using it for a little while?

Ah, ok. I was under the assumption that it was a gradual issue. I do get a line that flashes through the screen periodically. Is that the screen flicker on this tablet? On my s2 it doesn't look like that. I just want to make sure I have a good device. Every time I buy something I always find out later on that it's the one with the bad screen, bad emmc, or bad whatever else lol

Same as I.
Mine had a bit of screen lift but I put a case on it that hides it and it hasn't bothered me since...

I've had screen lift since day 1 when I got mine from the preorder and mine hasn't gotten any worse. I haven't tried any of the fixes for the separation for fear of stressing the glass. But I am tempted to glue it.
Where's everyone getting their C9 from? I only see C8 everywhere I go.
i sent mine back as soon as i noticed it, new one is fine
Yep, I woke up to a completely unresponsive nexus 4. Tried charging it and nothing happens. Also tried holding the power button, using the bootloader, but nothing will make this phone turn on.
Noticed just a little while ago that the lense for the camera and flash have collected moisture inside. Could running the phone on battery until it ran out of power create moisture in the phone?
Sounds kinda crazy, but it's the only thing I can think of. There is no other reason why the phone would have moisture on the inside. It wasn't raining, nothing in my apartment is wet, and neither is the outside of the phone.
Was using stock rooted with matrix 2.0 kernel.
Update:
The moisture inside dried out so I tried powering the phone on and again it did nothing. Then I plugged it in and the led indicator turned solid red.
I didn't know what that meant so I called tech support and that guy was even more clueless than I was. He hasn't even heard of the blinking red led that some people from this forum got after running antutu overclocked, but at least they can return to stock and relock the bootloader.
He said I could get it replaced, but idk if they're gonna give me grief over being unlocked and rooted.
Update 2:
Now the red led no longer lights up when charging. The phone powers on and everything functions except the screen. Even the buzzing from the ear speaker is there like it was when the screen functioned.
I powered it down now in hope that it will work later tonight.
Does anyone have an idea of what could have caused this?

Oh man sorry to hear and see that. Maybe something burnt out inside and the smoke couldn't escape causing condensation? I dunno, but hope it gets sorted out..

There is a similar problem with nexus 7 running android 4.2 .. What that required for correction was holding the power button for 30 or more seconds .. I repeat 30 or more seconds and not mere 5 or 10 seconds . that trick worked for me .. Just give it a try
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I already tried that. For now I think I'll have to just let it dry.
I would still like to know why only the inside of the phone has moisture and nothing else.

Thanks for the wishful thinking, but I don't know how I'm gonna get it replaced if I can't return to stock and lock the bootloader.

If it isn't even turning on that might not even be a problem how would they know if rooted
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
True. I say you put it in an airtight container with some dessicant and see if that helps the moisture. If not, give it a shot and send it back. Sorry to see that happened to a brand new phone.

I don't think so, it's just me and my girlfriend here and we were both sleeping. I don't think that would harm the phone either. Anyway, the outside of the phone was completely dry the whole time. No other areas are affected.
The phone I'm using now is an lg thrill and it's been through rain, snow, left outside and it still works. I don't understand why the n4 would do this just by sitting next to my bed.

Santa Claus came early
In all seriousness, did you take it in a moist room like your bathroom? Or outside on a rainy day?
what about the bag o' rice trick?
Humidifier running? Was it on the night stand maybe next to a cold drink that could've had some condensation? Was the room exceptionally cold (maybe that combined with the warmth of the phone caused the condensation?)?
Really weird. Hope you get it sorted. Chances are though, if it shut off because of the condensation, it probably burnt something out. Generally, if it's off and gets wet, you have a better chance of it surviving than when it gets wet and shuts off.
Could it be a battery leak?

Nope, it was dry in my pocket all day. I even got good battery life at
4hr screen on and ~14hr total. I left it unplugged next to my bed with nothing next to it to see how much longer it would last.

I just wrapped it up and set it above a warm heater. Seems to have worked good.

It was on the night stand, but nothing liquid was nearby. And my room is always at a constant temperature. Neve had any problems b4 with condensation.
It did have a low battery when I went to sleep and I left it to see what kind of battery drain it would have by morning. I thought only the battery was dead at first, but it's been on the charger now for about 15 min now with the solid red led.

No screen protector or case, just the bare phone.

It would be my guess too that the battery is leaking and just RMA it. As it doesn't power up they will never know you rooted it and they will most likely just trash it.
OP updated.
The phone powers on now and everything functions except the screen.

I'm using stock charger
Just started noticing a couple days ago
There is wiggle when USB is connected
It doesn't charge, unless I have it just right
How annoying!! I really didn't want this to happen
Never had it before with One X or GS3
I'm afraid I'll have to over pay for a wireless charger but also :')
Sent from my Nexus 4
Try another wall charger
I had that issue on a gnex. Would only charge if positioned just right and would pop out if moved. I spoke with a Samsung rep that said inside the female end of the charging port something wore out and it would no longer hold the plug securely until I got the port replaced. I would see about an RMA if I were you because it becomes very annoying very quickly.

This is why a three pin charger rocks! Long Live the three pin system. Try using it on a power hub, horizontally.
I just called and filled for RMA.
Sucks they charge the account n hold.
How do I revert back to stock and lock?

Flash the factory images back to your phone and relock it. Fastboot is the "correct" way. Or use a toolkit.

Once I thought my N4 had a charging issue. Turns out pocket lint got stuck in there. pushed it out with a toothpick and all was good after.
362
My issue is a little different. The panel area between the left screw and micro usb port pops in and out if Press it. It feels like the power button popping in and out. Any solutions? BTW the phone is just three days old.
I noticed this morning something weird. I plug my phone to charge at night and leave it plugged in all night. I installed a glass screen protector, its not perfect but its ok. This morning when i unplugged it I noticed the middle had some rainbow action going but it didn't have that before. it has gone away and its back to normal.
My theory is the battery expanted pushing the screen up to touch the glass. My guess
Dont know if that is normal but it makes me think.
Ill see if it does it again
Thoughts?
