Lol you already have 5 threads opened about defects. None of them didn't indicate issues about color? Doesn't wear off, don't worry.

Samsung Galaxy S Screen Problem

Hi, does anyone else has a big C like a water mark on your phones?
The app is wifi Analyzer.
that looks like a burned in
try running a pure white screen
then a pure black screen
see if you can still spot that C
That is a burn in. No doubts, you should run some app that does what Allgamer said, and if possible even with RGB colors as well.
That looks suspiciously like the shape of the coloured print on the protective sheet that a brand new galaxy s was shipped with.
Yeap it's the marked burn of the C from the protective cover... Gonna bring it back...

I have a similar circle like yours in my screen in the right-center of the screen...
I see it only when there is a grey screen or brown screen...
What is this????
I have verified that isn't the protective cover....
Can anyone help me???

can you post some screenshot?
Could it be that the phones have been in the sun with the protective film on?
I remember AMOLED screens being sensitive to light, that light being th ereason for wear. but external sunlight MIGHT also have that effect. When it is the sun with that cover for a few weeks...
possible?

I don't why, but this is NOT screenburning.
I have seen two types screen watermark C and L. These screens are little blueish.
Maybe screen type sign, you are not alone.

seems that you've got yourself a showmodel, it's the excact location(just checked with one that's still in the box) of the foil with the huge C in the middle, they prolly kept him several weeks in the light/sun?

Agreed.
I see three options:
1. Leave your phone in the sun for an extended period of time so that it hopefully evens out the mark. Problem is you would purposely be wearing down the phone so the mark isn't as visible.
2. Use your phone normally and over time it should go away.
3. Return your phone and get a non-defective one. If they give you a hard time (and you aren't past the 14days/30minutes) just say you'll return it and get a new one if they don't give you what you want (reps. can be pricks sometimes).

Quite a few people reported dead pixels on their screen, fortunately I'm not one of them, so it's always good to check. To test, just set full screen wallpapers in 100% black, white, blue, red and green and inspect the screen with full brightness.
For the rest in hardware, play music, make a call, find a touchscreen test app, connect WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.

Nexus 6P Graphite. Fingerprint scanner is a different color?

Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?
Anyone?
Can you show us a picture.

Did you checked the photos I provided? Are you sure this is normal? I did not see this on my first model
Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

so, ppl are telling you it's normal, but you're still asking ppl to tell you it's normal?

its normal. you also have to consider they are different materials which will affect the color a little. I have aluminum and its the same. scanner and bottom are different shades. nothing to worry about

I might be a little OCD ambout my phone. The reason i am a little worried is because I do not remember my first unit having this. But on the first one I had a bad pinkish display....on this one the display is good...but i noticed today the different colors.

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P

Phone came with a scratch.

Hi.
Just wondering if this happened to anybody.
I just got a brand new phone and when I cleaned the screen to put a new protector I realized there is a hairline scratch that is seen only when passing the light over it.
Nothing is seen with the protector but I think I should replace it anyway.
What do u think?
Thanks.
I would replace the phone. Who can tell if you really see a "scratch" only or if the glass was stressed during the assembly? What if your screen cracks out of nowhere and you cannot get a refund because Google / Huawei thinks that it´s been your fault?
Yea. Your right.
God dammit. Waited for a week to get this phone and now I have to wait another two weeks for it to be sent back and forth.
Take a picture of the device.
Send it back.

Did you purchase directly from Google? They'll send you an advance replacement unit, then you send the faulty unit back, so you won't be without a phone. I had to go through this process eight times.

Yeah, I've received units all with faulty displays (tinting), a couple with faulty power buttons, and one with a funky CPU. This unit has tinting too but I've realised that I'm not going to get one without it (it's due to the manufacturing process with AMOLED displays), this one isn't quite as bad as the others so I'm not going to take my chances on getting a worse replacement.

Tinting is when the colour is uneven across the display. So when viewing whites or greys you'll have yellow sections/stripes/blotches.

Didn't have that with my screen. Had a scratch though.
I have a few dents around the plastic part at the bottom of the back of the phone and I just kept it even though I also have display issues. I've had the phone for 2 months now, so it's too late to swap anyway

Is it glass paint coming off?

Have any of you noticed the dots on the back of the phone? I have midnight black variant, and it's in the case since day one, but I lately took the case off and noticed few shiny dots on the phone. Is it paint coming off? I don't get it. Tried to clean it but didn't help. Please inspect your phones under good light and check if you have dots too. I've read it happened on 6 and 5t too... It's a shame, I have this in case all the time to protect it from damage, not to cause it...

The glass is likely frosted, not painted. Over time dust and debris will get into the case and cause minor marks and scratches. It's happened to me on a couple of phones. The case is meant to protect from major scratches and breakage. Only solution is to remove the case regularly and clean it.

As told to you in a previous post, what is happening is likely debris under your case acting as an abrasive and wearing the glass off similar to sandpaper. The discussion of skins is because they protect the phone from this damage, hence why they are popular even among people who keep the phone in a case at all times.
