Hey people, this morning my phone fell off the bed,
After that,
My display has got small black dots like 20-30 and they all are at one place, please, any idea of getting rid of them ? Please help

Try that freezer method: take out all internal components like battery, sim, memory card, wrap in plastic bag and put in freezer. Keep for ~12 hours and take out device, waiting for any condensate to vaporise. It may get fixed by that

Sorry couldn't find info via google.
I've been having random reboots, but have discovered its when I put my phone down onto my desk or put it in my pocket. It seems to restart whenever it gets banged (even quite light taps)... Any idea what this could be and how to fix? Loose battery maybe?
Thanks in advance.
Yes sounds like a loose battery

put a piece of paper between battery and back cover

Thanks yeah. Lol, a bit of a business card on top of the battery seems to have solved it.
Hello,
Does anybody know what this can be?Little black dots on screen, not everywhere only in the middle of the screen.Any suggestions?Please!!!
Those are dead pixels, there are many tricks including putting your phone in a freezer(I'm serious) as well as pixel "repair"apps from the market that try to force stick pixels to work again by flashing the screen several times.

Is this the way the phone is supposed to be? There's a small gap between the top part of the bezel where it meets the glass. I try to keep my phone clean all the time but there are quite a few lint pieces and grime stuck in that gap. The bottom of the phone is tight. Never dropped it. It is an RMA

I think you can snap it back. Press it gently and it'll close.

As you can see the bottom is tight with no gap. The top has a big enough gap for dirt and debris and no way to get it out.

Definitely not normal, you should probably RMA again if you can't fix it by simple means like the one posted above

I have no gap on the top or bottom, and neither do any of the 5 others I know with N4s so yeah, RMA.
send that gaping gap back, son!
...before you get tiny creature eggs in them
Called google play customer service and started the RMA process. Thanks guys
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not going well with my RMA. This was customer service response :
"Thanks for contacting Google. The*specialists*has informed me that the*gaps are to allow for expansion of the glass due to varying temperature and is an intended part of the design.
If you have any*further*questions please feel free to*respond*to this email."
Can some of you guys take some photos of your phones so I can send this robot? Any other suggestions?

Dude, I think even with photos, you would be hard pressed to change their mind. Cosmetic faults are always put down as subjective and not worthy of replacement. You should have told them that you were experiencing some technical fault i.e. frequent dropped calls.
If you aren't successful this time round, RMA it again with such an excuse...

I have the same issue but my gaps are much bigger and go throughout the whole screen. Dust and stuff goes in it. The front camera has a dark overlay whenever i use it due to all the dust that has gotten in there. I would RMA it but i bought it off a friend and im not sure if they want to accept it.
Here is a picture of a white door that i took outside using the front camera.

I just find it odd that its only one specific section dead without any obvious damage... Something similar happened to my old Atrix, dead section of the screen. My dad dropped it in a cup of water and then gave me the phone . I guess you could give that a shot, although I think if a connector was loose it would have more issues than that little spot. Next step after that is RMA I guess.

I beat the living heck outta my note3, nuts and bolts often in my pockets, (I'm a mechanic), sometimes keys when I forget. Laying it down in unfavorable areas like a work bench on top of tools etc. bottle caps sometimes.
