I recently had my nexus 4 screen repaired on the replacement part there is a 90 day warranty that is still going on. However I have started to see small white dots that appear when the screen shows lighter colors. I did not see this before it was repaired. I brought it back and they said that it wasn't a problem with the LCD and didn't replace the piece. But it seems to have gotten worse and there are these dots in other places. Does anybody have any idea how this could be fixed or what the problem is? Thank you.

I got my Nexus 4 yesterday, and just today I've noticed that when in dark screen (locked, or simply the settings page) and outside of the house I see kind of weird black lines on the whole display screen, going form top to bottom making some 3 small square shapes after the others all over the display, can be obviously seen when display facing bright sky outside in almost any angel, but in room light barely can see them with certain angels.
will make a photo of it asap.
p.s. I've never seen a notification light yet on the middle bottom of my device.
Anyone same "problem" with display?
Its the digitizer.

Could you link an example image from goolge or something to make sure it is what I mean? can't seem to find something alike..is this normal?
I can confirm that its the digitizer I too have found that with this phone it is very easy to see even with weak light I see it when I get the right angle. It looks like you described but the vertical lines look more like dots arranged neatly than lines on mine.

Its the digitizer, its normal. I think its because of the "zero gap" technology thing ; the display and the digitizer are right below the glass.
As for the notification light, download Lightflow from the Play Store. Works great.

For the notification LED, make sure you enable the " Pulse notification light" option in Settings->Display. Using Lightflow on top will give you lots of customisation options though.

I am now noticing the same issue in my nexus 4. If it is because of zero gap technology then why it is not there in iPhone 5 and other phones which use this technology?
I also notice that my brother who got the phone some time in November 2012 is not having this issue. I got the phone in Jan 2013...is it issue with only the new lots?
What google and LG are doing to address this issue?

I received my brand new N4 from Google on Wednesday, and pretty quickly I noticed that all across the left hand side of the screen it is lighter than the rest. In certain lighting and on grey backgrounds it's more noticeable. At first the discoloration looked more defined and I thought it was maybe the area the screen was glued down, but now it seems to be spreading. Is this a known issue? Is Google suppose to replace this kind of thing, or do I need to go to LG for my warranty?

Mine was doing that too a while after I replaced my screen. It turned out that my battery had swelled because I pierced the casing when I removed it. Replaced it and all is well. But if it's new? Have them exchange it.
I had the same issue my screen ways super discolorated but after 3 days it went away.

Yeah I'm just going to get it replaced, it's still spreading. Thank guys.

When my phone is off and i look at it from the an angle i can see a pattern on the screen like scare boxes also when i look at it on the sun i can see little dots going from the top to the bottom of my screen. I just got the phone and i am worried the screen is defect or what not. I was wondering if this happen to any of you guys. I will upload picture when i get home from work.

Its fine thats the digitizer
I replaced my screen. And now I am experiencing problems with battery life, and in need of an RMA. My question is how closely does Google look at the device that are shipped back, will they notice that the screen was replaced? I also forgot to put back the blue tab that was connecting the battery and holding the antenna down in place. Will they take the phone apart and find out I had disasebmled it? Also there is a small gap at the bottom between the bezel and the left screw. I think its due to one of the clips not connecting correctly. I could probably fix all those things but I lost my T6 screw driver, so should I worry about any of those things?

Not sure how picky Google is, but I sent a MyTouch slide into T-Mobile with the screen replaced, they noticed. I have no idea how, I put it all back together. I also recently sent my Nexus 4 in to Asurion for a replacement, the screen went wacky and I opened it to see if it was a loose connection. They didn't notice that.
Honestly you won't know until you try.

Take it back to where you got it from.....
It's the only thing you can do.
I contacted samsung and they told me that they won't replace it cause they don't see it as a problem?! I spent 1000euros on note 3 and galaxy gear ... so dissapointed... Also just noticed that my home button is moving a bit when pressing and makes loud sound... Will contact samsung again tomorrow...They built note 3 badly (home button isnt good,dust gets between bezel and sreen...) Any suggestions on what should I do?

Con you have a double check using the diagnostics of the phone. .
Press *#0*# in the phone dialer pad . And check the screen in all colors..
I hope it is a software issue .. just a hope. .
I feel for you.. We spent so much money on these devices and all we get from Samsung is a cold answer ..

Don't call Samsung, visit a Samsung Service Centre yourself, show them that screen test with the dead pixels, and you'll get a replacement.
If they try to persuade you state your rights, you have the complete right to get a replacement, you have a (very) faulty unit, if it has all these problems together (home button issue, dust issue and dead pixels).
Don't hesitate to be stubborn and very defensive.
If it goes down to this, if your country has a customer protection hotline, call them there and they'll help.
Thanks will try Hope that I get a replacment
