Hi Guys
So I was looking at my tab during a lecture and for some reason I noticed something odd. I looked closer and it seemed to me as if the lines on the screen, which we were supposed to be straight...weren't so straight after all :silly:. At first I thought it as my imagination or that my sinus was affecting my sight...but it turns out I was right. My Nexus 7 screen is just about a millimetre off and now that I'm conscious of it, everything feels off. I even had @MattDN93 confirm it.:highfive:
I scanned my actual device to show anyone who's interested. (I didn't trust myself with the right camera angles to capture the problem)
What should I do about this? Would this count as a hardware defect for me to claim the warranty?

Wow, thanks...... Now you've convinced my brain that mine is crooked too. :|
Totally off topic but why does scanning a color screen produce a black and white image?

Perhaps because the scanner was set to scan in grayscale mode?

No that's not it. I just tried with a handheld scanning wand on my computer monitor and got a b&w image also. It was set in color mode.

Well a scanner shines white light at the pixels maybe they reflect white back if they're on with any colour and black if off?

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??
I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.
This video shows this cool new feature to aid one handed use:
http://youtu.be/S2Yr7PvgKQw?t=33s
I was surprised to see however that the background color of the unused screen area is blue instead of black - which would make much more sense on AMOLED.
Can that color be configured? Or maybe it's a safety measure against screen burn-in? Also, the border of the box could be a darker color...

Sounds like a cool feature, but I will never use it. It's why I bought a screen that size and not a screen size that it shrinks down to lol. Can be useful to some, but honestly defeats the purpose of the note haha. As for the colors, I have no idea...

I agree. I have big hands and could reach all points of note 2 so I'm not worried about it but nice for some people

I'm sure that color can be changed (at least I THINK I saw black in another video). As for the burn-in, blue IS what causes the burn in. So blue would actually make it much worse.
they probably made it blue so it's easy to see, so when you move it back to original you can place it exactly in place, instead of black where you might find it hard to put back.
unless of course there is a reset....
Hi!
I heard about vertical lines visible on G2 but on mine I have them visible not only sunlight but also indoor when I'm browsing web. Especially on one color surfaces (google results white, google play background&green bar at top).
Really I'm guessing it's digitizer (line every each 1mm).
It annoying me because the're pretty visible. It is common? Please check in your devices at full brightness.

I think that's normal. I can also see them when I go outside and the lines reflect with outside light.

Ok but I can see them not only in sunlight, but in typical using. And they're not doted. Maybe that's not digitizer lines?
I can see them on my D803 in any lighting just by tilting the screen a little. Not dotted. Make the screen look like old-school graphing paper from high school. Never bothered me, though.
The extremely high reflectivity of the screen annoys me more. It's basically a mirror under fluorescent lights.

mine are horizzontal is that normal?
Hi there!
i recently bought an N4 and i love it but i was wondering why my rear flash is like the way it is (see pictures). I bought it completely new, or supposedly new, on ebay for around $200... i actually couldnt believe the price haha
any comments as to how to replace it? due to the flash lens/ring it allowed dust in the rear camera which is so annoying.
thanks!
I dont know, but my flash looks completely different. You sure that is a nexus 4 and not some fake stuff?

haha yeah it works perfectly fine though
another thing i noticed was this... i dont know if it's normal either
there's vertical lines when the screen is off and noticeable when caught in the light at certain angles........
i'm starting to think this was a broken phone but refurbished after
the rear flash ring is normal but the bars on the screen is a new one, i have never seen that, its usually a clear screen and you can see the dots from the digitizer from different angles.
maybe the screen has been replaced?

Wow, I've never seen such vertical lines on my n4 before. That is really strange, mate.
Although there are horizontal lines/patterns on the screen. They are conduction medium for the touch screen, but no..never seen such vertical ones...
My 9T display when there is low light, the brightness is set to low and the image I see on the display is darkish I can see a vertical line at the right side of the display, is this normal or should I return It?
multiple users reported similar issues with low brightness, some said it's a rom issue but to be sure, post a screenshot or something and wait for others to respond.

Exactly in the same place, I think it's a recurring problem on this model.

Replaced the phone and there is no line in the new one, you should return It.
I don't have something like that on mine. Looks like banding to me, like on TVs. It can happen, it's probably not important. Screens aren't perfectly uniform.
