Hello!
Week ago i sold S3 and bought N4. I'm happy right now, especially from screen (PenTile < IPS ) but...
When turn on white image and look from left side i see two, dark stripes.
Also i have 4 overheated (super bright) pixels, and (I'm not sure here) some dead ones.
I don't know what to do. It's a good point to sent phone on warranty and exchange it to newest revision by the way? (RMA)
And yes... I have blue and orange tilt too.
I saturated photos for better look at my problem.
Bump. (can I?)
Aww thats bad luck...issues like yours are very rare... I suggest you RMA it mate... mostly i accuse people for RMA'ing devices without any good reason but your screen is in pretty bad condition...overheated pixels ? Nahh it seems more like the screen already came defective with some dead pixels included. I've got my Nexus 4 about 2 weeks ago aswell but mine neigher has any dead pixels nor any dark stripes...my tip is just RMA it to google and get a replacement.
Goodluck with it.
Respect
Thanks for advice, but I just realized, that I can't send my Nexus for exchange, because I'm from Poland, so I just have to give it on warranty. Shame.
Hi everyone, I have had my Nexus 4 for about a month now. When I was using it, I noticed a strange pattern on the screen. I looked into it and found out that it was the digitizer. After doing some research, I learned that seeing this was normal. Except, on my phone you can see the digitizer very clearly in sunlight even with the screen brightness all the way up. It also is visible when using the phone indoors with auto brightness. Is this normal? If not, does LG offer warranty for this issue?

My friend recently dropped his nexus 4 and apart form there being massive cracks on the screen, the touchscreen wouldn't work because of the broken digitizer. He did not want to send it off to LG because of the high costs and the long waiting time. We went to a local phone repair shop and were assured an original LG screen would be fitted.
So, the next day we go to collect the phone and here are a few differences between my nexus 4 (untouched) and my friends newly repaired one:
- When screen is off there is a blueish tint to his screen.
- Vertical and horizontal lines are visible when staring at it with in a bright environment.
- The digitizer would not respond at one point and we had to hold the power key until it rebooted.
Now, I'm assuming that this is not the original screen for this phone and is probably a copy. what i am looking for is a screen testing application that i can install and run on both of the nexus devices that can give me figures which i can use to compare both of the screens side by side to see how much of a difference there really is.
Thanks in advance.
There are always differences between original lcds. Some Chinese lcds are even better than originals. If there is no problem when the screen is on and all colors appear OK with no strange tints of any color, I think your friend's lcd is fine. There are some hardware testing applications (or you can just use a painting application as well), with which you just draw thin lines so that you can see if there are any dead areas on the digitizer.
Are you sure the screen was changed and not only the digitizer? If only the digitizer is changed I don't believe they put this loca glue between the new digitizer and the lcd. That can cause some touch issues on the n4, but usually everything works well. Sorry for my English.

The whole front side was changed including the LCD and the digitizer, even the notification light is different. The screen is fine although i can see that the colours are much cooler and have a blueish tint. I need an application to test if the screen has the the same PPI and responsiveness. As you said above, hardware testing applications.

There are a lot of lcd and hardware testing applications but i dont think you ll find one that does what you want. I may be wrong though. Usually they just show all the colours so you can check if all of them appear correctly and identify any dead or stuck pixels. Also the touch response and the multi touch. Thats it. I dont think you ll get any more info for any screen from an app. This is a good example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.harvestcellular.lcdscreentester&hl=en
As i said @ my first post, you can find big colour differences even between original nexus 4s. You can always root and flash a kernel with which you can "play" with the colour profiles. I have changed lcd's for the n4 and had this kinda blue/cool/washed out colours tint. It was solved with the colour profile obsanity amoled, while didn't like the same colour profile on lcd's that i changed without any kind of tint. Search here for n4 colour profiles. There are a lot of apps on play store with which you can control colours. My best experience is ak kernel with synapse apk.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely try the colour profile.
I just changed a cracked display using a new one I bought on ebay. Everything went smoothly, but the new screen has all these stripes, mainly on black or dark colors. Whites are fine.
It also has low resolution, or atleast I think it does. Haven't been using my Nexus 4 for ages, but decided to try to fix it up.
The feel of the screen isn't all that great, and I'm guessing it's some chinese knock-off. The seller on ebay seemed fin though.
Is there anything I can do or is it busted? I'm posting a link to a guy with the same problem.

So if you think the problem is fake screen that selling on ebuy, i think best work is at last send them an email and report!

HI Guys
My nexus 7 digitizer is now broken , the screen is ok but only with a fine crack but the touch is completely busted
anyway the repair shop offered me a replacement for both screen and digitizer but unfortunately i lookied it up and the brand was ( CHUNGHWA) the original is (HYDIS) and i could not find that hydis anywhere
my question is , did anyone replace the screen with that CHUNGHWA and found any difference regarding color depth and quality , resolution ...etcc...? because one of the main reasons i like my nexus is the screen
i was also offered another generic screen replacement from another guy that told me that it was a copycat for original for a mch lower price but i am not sure
PS , i also found a digitizer online but i am not sure if the digitizer onl ycan be replace
thanks a lot guys
