I guess I've been lucky but my black One is amazing. I have no problems. Excellent build quality and a real head turner. Its the best phone I've owned even besting my iPhone 5.

I have to say, I've been delightfully impressed by HTC this time around. Not only did they make a great piece of hardware, they also didn't make it too much of a pain to customize it software size it. Between HTC Dev and not having to manually flash a boot.img through fastboot, I'm definitely pleased with my phone. The ONLY let down I have is a couple of dead pixels on my rear camera. Then again, I'm not one to take many pictures!

Dead pixels on your rear camera? How does that look like? I've never heard or such a thing.

Here's a picture of a white bed sheet. Notice the small black dot. That is the cluster if dead pixels. It isn't too noticeable, but it drives my OCD crazy. The ONLY reason I don't return it for a replacement is that I'll most likely end up with an even more faulty device than the one I currently have.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I've had mine since launch (in the States) and I'm absolutely in love with it. In fact, this week I'm finally pulling the trigger on selling my iPhone 5 64GB - I'm now 100% sure I won't be going back (but lets not make this an Apple bashing thread lol)!
I'll also add, I've always had black phones (see my signature) and I'm incredibly pleased I did something different this time around and went with Silver/White. Such a beautiful device.

This is really strange. I've also never heard of this. Some DSLR's can have "stuck" pixels in their sensor. Most Canon's have what they call a "Manual Sensor Cleaning" in their menu options to help alleviate that issue.
I would imagine it's simply a defect in the sensor itself - thus not being able to capture that group of pixels. In all honesty, I would send it back. But that's just me, I wouldn't be able to live with that.
My device battery went faulty right in the middle of my vacation, but I don't think I will change to SG4 for any reason. This phone rocks.

That looks more like a spec of dust than a dead or stuck pixel. Some might have gotten in the lens while in production.

Why? Why take the chance of returning it and receiving a device in worst conditions just because of a nano spec on the lens or screen? You can't even see it unless you search for it. That would be ridiculous. He's device is in great conditions besides that one spec that you cant even see.

I see your point of view and I understand. However, I guess some of us just don't want to settle for something that does have a flaw... even if it is that small.
Granted, I will admit some of these guys around here get a little carried away... like the guy that returned his device 8 times. I would have given up after 3 personally.
I paid $650 for my One. And replaced iPhone 5. For that kind of money I'd expect everything to work and be pristine. That's from my point of view.

Hooray. Until today I thought everything was ok with my new tablet, but then suddently I used it a little with brightness maxed out and I noticed that I have a stuck pixel. Initially it was white, then, after running some random "stuck pixel fixer" app (the ones flashing your screen with different colours) it turned to green. So now I have a nice green pixel showing off on every blackish page. When the screen is very dim I can't really see it (that's why I didn't notice it at first), but when brightness is maxed out it's very noticeable.
I already had similar issues on my laptop, with a couple of white pixels appearing after a while I had it (not presumably out of the box, like with this one), and those luckily went away after a few days. I heard that in these cases there's not much to do about it, and I also guess that most of the tricks used with with regular LCD panels (pressing it, shooting it with pressured air, tapping it and all the funny stuff) don't apply here, since the panel is under a slab of glass. Some say that stuck pixels will eventually start working back again after some time, but I really don't know what to think.
Sending the device for repair it's not an option because 1) It's not worth it IMHO 2) I guess they won't replace a screen with a SINGLE defective pixel 3) I got it off ebay so things may get more complicated and I don't wanna stay without my tablet for the rest of my vacation.
Have your ever had similar issues on your devices? Please share yours, that will eventually make me feel a little better
Also, if you have some tricks to get rid of this stupid pixel feel free to share as well.
Damn this is driving me crazy, I'd try to ignore it but I literally can't! I keep turning on the device just in order to look at it and cringe, I think I'm going insane.
Btw, I attached a super zoomed, super blurry macro of the pixel, it's shot with my Lumia at a very close distance, sorry about the horrible quality. It should give you the idea tho...
Well, I had a dead pixel back in the day when I had PSP. It was almost in the middle of the screen and I can tell you, it was driving me insane .... but give it a week or two and you will get used to it
Now on my TF300, I have some tiny piece of dust under the screen and it kinda looks like dead pixel. Havent figured out a way to get rid of it but I dont care much about it.
I know its not much help, but theres not much you can do about it.

Does it look bright on a dark screen, like eg the app drawer? Also, a dead pixel will always be black, even on a white screen, what I have is a stuck pixel, and by stuck I mean it's stuck on a single colour regardless what the screen is showing...a dead pixel can't be fixed in any way, while a stuck one may eventually be fixed using some tricks or simply fix itself with time. If the dot isn't bright nor black then it's probably a simple speck of dust underneath the screen.

I heard directly from Asus today. They told me that for tablets and phones a single defective pixel is enough to be eligible for warranty purpose. However they told me to contact the vendor first, because the item is still under their responsibility (I bought it a week ago). The vendor told me to send them an email with a copy of the warranty certificate/product code and report of the issue, possibly with a picture. If Asus validates the instance they'll send me a courier. However I guess I'll have to wait for a while before I hear from them, because next week everything is frozen due to holidays here in Italy. Oh well, no big deal. I'll just go on and use my "flawed" device while I wait
Edit: hmm, now that I think about it...my boot loader is unlocked right now. I know that this is supposed to void my warranty, but I've already heard of people succeeding in their claim when the fault of the product was obviously hardware. This should be the case as well...what should I do about it? The Asus guy checked my serial and didn't mention anything about my bootloader apparently, so I could be fine...

I would try and send it in anyway. The 'worst' case would be they send it back without repair/replacement, but I think there's a good chance that will not happen, because the error is hardware-related as you said.

hello,
I have a stuck pixel on my padfone 2 tabstation
I still can return it within 10 days, no questions asked.
According to your experience with asus do you think i should just return it to the shop without mentionning the pixel, or try to have a replacement with a warranty (that may not apply)
My wife got me a TF300T off Craigslist for Christmas with a similar problem, I have a group of bright pixels, it is with a white background. I'm going to try and contact the seller and see if I can get info on where he bought it and see what Asus will do.
I have noticed a lack of contrast on the screen, but I'm comparing it to a DROID CHARGE witch has way to much saturation on its screen.
Ive gone thought 2 RMAs and ive phoned Google for the 3 one.
- 1 device: All the device made noise, cracking all the time.
- 2 device: Horrible screen bleeding and noise on the speaker
-3 device: A black line from top to bottom of the device. Can be seen on white screens.
Im actually thinking on asking a refund and getting other phone. I love N4 but all come with some sort of problem.
What has been your experience?

I'll disagree only because people have suggested the same thing to me. I'm waiting for my 3rd device to ship. My first one has a bright spot you see in the middle whenever the phone is held from an angle, like a cluster of stuck pixels. The second had a bad yellow tint and black dust under the screen.
In the past 2 years I've bought 2 Lenovo laptops, an Asus Zenbook, a PSVita, an iPod Touch, a Samsung TV, Nexus One/S/Galaxy, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, a Xoom and a Galaxy Tab 10.1.
At NO point have I had to return or exchange a single one of these devices.
I otherwise love the device, but I have no doubt that corners were cut in the manufacturing process to attain the low price.
You are lucky your rma is shipping. This is my first rma with the n4 and they're not even shipping it to me. It's been almost 2 weeks too.
I ordered 4 originally (not for selling, for friends). Mine was the only one with problem (overheating, screen flicker, bad MicroUSB port). The RMA'd device was awesome in every way, but had no functioning Magnometer (so no orientation sensing or compass functionality). Still waiting for the second RMA to get here. Other than that, amazing phone.
My first device had the yellow spot syndrome so I RMA'ed it. Was disappointed to find the replacement had a yellow tint on the display. Was planning on RMAing that too until I found out it could be fixed with software. So I'm now happy with my 2nd n4.

Flashing the Jellytime kernel did it for me. There's also the Nexus 4 Display control that allows you to adjust it without changing kernels (I myself haven't used this but it looks promising).
I'm not sure if either would work if you have a stripe down the side, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks for the suggestions! Did you flash the jellytime kernel itself in the ROM thread, or did you flash the whole ROM along with the kernel? I don't know if there is a difference between the two besides the lack of OC. The kernel didn't fix the issues with me :c I might try the display control.

RMA's are now back ordered as well. Mine just changed to pre-ordered, and the CSR says they are now completely out of devices. I'm gonna say, crap like this contributes, as well as people that fry their phone OCing. OP absolutely has the right to a high quality device. But given the obvious supply issues Google has been having, I don't think it would have hurt to just deal with it for a couple weeks, none of those are deadline issues, and you have a full year to RMA for a manufacturer defect. I have a 3/4 inch tall strip across the center of my screen with no touch response, damn near cripples the device's usability.
Oh well, I guess that just means I get a phone from the third batch, that much less likely to have defects I hope. Or maybe I'll get the OP's refurb'd 1st device, cause I'm not that damned picky.
Again, OP does have the right to a high quality device, but now this kinda crap is screwing over user's with deadline issues.
my RMA was very fast (australia) shipped within 24hours of calling to setup the RMA
My phones earpiece cut out randomly so often i couldn't hear people when they called. the new one is perfect tho.
My old phone rattled and buzzed real loud and the replacement fixed that but it has a yellow tinted screen with clear spots.

Well the picture is showed by that thread that i provided on another site but okay I guess.
As you can see you saw the dots but they aren't different colors and don't sparkle. The second picture is in the sunlight.
I have the same "issue" as TC, it doesn't sparkle like in the videos or pictures I've seen. The effect is very weak but perhaps it does require strong light like sun rays.

That does seem rather dull imo. Have you contacted service about the matter?
It does require strong light at the right angles to "sparkle." I'm sure still having the glass protection on doesn't help either.

contacted google services and i got a replacement device and now i have a question
is the plastic that i ripped off of the charger cable and the traveler output thing going to cost me money? :/
that's the only thing I changed on the phone since I've received it and I really don't want to pay for this.

You sure this is not because you still have the factory plastic on the back?

..why would they charge you for removing the plastic?

No, it's a good thing you posted pictures. It is definitely because you still have the factory plastic on the back. It really, really dulls the effect. I had the same disappointment when I first got my N4. I was actually going to post a topic about it but then my full body protector arrived and I peeled off the factory protector and applied the new one and now it sparkles beautifully. Peel that plastic off and then report back.
LOL he got a replacement phone anyway? you can just keep your charger, then you have 2! 2 usb cables are nice for a usb car charger or something
anyway, if your phone is flawless, you might be better off cancelling that replacement because what if your new phone has issues? You are unable to send the new phone back because then you will be charged again. Always that fear... then you'll have to deal with another RMA but this time you have a faulty phone in your hands.
also remove that plastic on the back as suggested.

This is probably the single most ridiculously stupid "issue" I have seen yet.
It should definitely look nicer than in those pics. I would be extremely unhappy.. first time I've heard of this defect.

I wasn't being serious, wanted to hop on the bandwagon. I have the sparkle but only when there's light available.z

My note has a loose speaker grill on the right. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue or others.
The only questionable thing I have, which may be normal, is the infrared port. It protrudes about a millimeter or so from the top edge. Is this normal?

The grills on both sides should be steady without any movement possible. Well i don't have a loose right speaker grill nor any other flaws on the device

It shouldn't, but this is Samsung we're talking about. A number of users already confirmed that they're having the same issue on multiple threads. I'm guessing this is happening because of the S Pen slot. It shouldn't be doing that, but we're used to Samsung doing this.
Yes. Fixed it right up with some silicone sealant.

Good news Bad news
The Bad news is I am not the only one that has a tablet with this issue. The Good news is there are PERKS to be gained if you have you to exchange. If you know what I mean :laugh:
Samsung, like any manufacturer has issues, I think you will find the QC at Samsung is among the best. I wonder too, is the first thing some people do when getting something is look for defects? I mean, yeah, if they pop up while using it, then you go from there, but I like to actually use and enjoy my device first
As for the issue, my right speaker grille does have a VERY TINY bit of play if you tap it, it's not noticeable in normal use and will NOT affect anything important. A user fixed it easily, so if it is bothersome, you can always do what he did.

I dont have patience for QC issues, if I spend my hard earned money I want it close to perfect or its going back. There is no way I would ever fix their mistakes.

You will never find perfection, not in anything made my the hands of man anyway. There is not one company out there that puts out 100% perfect products, not one.
It's the price of being an early adopter Computer manufacturers make all kinds of revisions, heck the early LCDs had ghosting. These days though almost everything feels like beta.

Exchanged my note for a new one. This one has no build issues and i get some more galaxy perks.
Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?
Anyone?
Can you show us a picture.

Did you checked the photos I provided? Are you sure this is normal? I did not see this on my first model
Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

so, ppl are telling you it's normal, but you're still asking ppl to tell you it's normal?

Delete the pics with your iMEI and S/N number sticker displaying. That is not something you share with anyone except your carrier.

its normal. you also have to consider they are different materials which will affect the color a little. I have aluminum and its the same. scanner and bottom are different shades. nothing to worry about

I might be a little OCD ambout my phone. The reason i am a little worried is because I do not remember my first unit having this. But on the first one I had a bad pinkish display....on this one the display is good...but i noticed today the different colors.

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P
