Screen defect.. Is this hardware or software?

Hey guys
I sold my nexus 4 previously but just re purchased one because nothing out there matches the smoothness of this beauty..
But anyway I've noticed some weird screen bugs happening now and again and wanted to know if its hardware or software?
I'm running PA with Franco. I'm guessing I need a replacement but just thought id get another opinion first
Thanks

Since it's visible in screenshots, it's 100% software. Flash the stock images and see if that helps

Thanks ill give that a go.. i did find it a little weird that it showed on screenshots too

Still doing it after flashing factory image... no apps installed or anything custom... its so strange

I had a HTC sensation 3g that did this I ended up having to get a hardware replacement to fix it. I never had that problem before or after that phone

Odd S View ghosting issue

Hi all,
I've been having a problem with S View over the past few days. When ever the screen changes (like when trying to unlock the phone in S View), it gives this weird ghosting effect, like in the picture below:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Has anyone else got this issue, and/or has anyone fixed it?

On 4.3 yes I experienced it.
Since upgrade to 4.4.2, the issue has gone.

SafetyNet failing

So I went to setup Android Pay and got this message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wiped Android Pay's app data and same results. So I ran a SafetyNet test and it failed.
I'm obviously not rooted or bootloader unlocked. I remember it working before. Any ideas why it won't? Anybody else on G935TUVU2APC have this issue? I'm hoping I don't have to wipe my device via Odin and start over...
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. APPARENTLY USING THE CONDENSED DPI OPTION BREAKS IT. SWITCHING BACK TO STANDARD VIEW FIXES IT.

Did you happen to change your dpi?

Just through the Samsung hidden settings. Could that be it?

Wow, thanks, that was it. Lmao sucks but I guess if I use Android Pay I'll revert to the standard DPI. Good to know.

Mine is doing this too. The button is not a button that can by pushed or dragged, it doesn't seem to do anything.

It's weird, I haven't knowingly changed anything either. Just started doing this.

The Verizon rep fixed it it was something called integrated messaging on the account that had to be removed it's apparently a known bug that they're working on

to theprfct10..do you know what the verizon tech did to integrated messaging to fix the bs headache ?

this is known bug that they're working on. just need to wait for update

I don't know of a permanent solution, but if you go into setting and reset network it gets rid of it til the next system update.

Camera Fatal Error Stock Android 9

Have you tried updating the software?

Yeah the software was up to date I even reflashed the factory image. Good news is I exchanged it at Best Buy last night and the new one is working great
