Hello
Having some artifacts on the top left corner on the screen. They are only visible on white background and high brightness.
This photo was taken with another camera. Screen shot didnt show it so I'm guessing it's a screen issue.
Any ideas if there is anything I can do to repair this before I spend an arm and a leg for the repairs?
Photo attached.

Seems like burned-in symbols
Yep burn in. Try to lower the brightness when using a Nav app to reduce burn in.

This is what happened with LED over time?
Yes. If you have the same non uniform content on screen and high brightness over a long time, it burns in. The LEDs degrade in a non uniform manner.
I had it on the S1, after two or three years the space where the statusbar is was a bit more blue than the rest of the screen, while watching a fullscreen white. My statusbar was black. Seemed on that device the blue LEDs fatigue more than red and green. This refers to AMOLED.
If you have a panel with white LED-backlight this should not happen, as all LEDs always have the same brightness. Only a bit of brightness-loss or colour-shift will happen over time, but should be nearly uniform over the whole screen

Hi,
today I want a black picture on lock screen, but all picture black or with black background, show spots on the display: "fortunately" happen only with black picture(s). But, if I view the same image with the Android gallery or another image viewer, the spots are not present. It seem a manufacturing defect, but not, because the image(s) are "clean", without spots.
In these pictures the lighting it is at max value. However, that spots are visible at low lighting too, a bit less, but are visible.
Someone already knew this anomaly?

Ops!! I had turned off the drag setting but not the ripple setting ...
However, I want the ripple effect, so it is bad ...
Thank you corrsea, apology for the mistake
Best Regards
It only seems to effect black backgrounds. If you go to a slightly grey background it is much less noticeable.

There is an LED at the bottom of the phone, but there is a dearth of photos showing how bright it is or whether it can emit various colors. Any other comments out there?
Wow if there was led notifications it would be the perfect phone.

I'm really interested about this feature ! If anyone have an information tell us!
Pretty sure it's a similar RBG LED as the Galaxy Nexus, you can see it's at the bottom of the phone below the screen. At the vert least we know it's there as the manual says it is!

Take it for what it's worth.
I think the GNex set the standard on this one, the ED will be a part of the bottom bezel.

2nd paragraph neat the bottom they state its RGB but I will look more.

Bummer. I wish more people would center the FFC. Or at least angle the camera so you don't have to offset the phone while video chatting or taking pictures. The FFC on the Nexus 4 is all the way on the right.
I received my Nexus 4 in the mail today. Opened it, set it up, noticed immediately in the Google Now app that the whites were yellow compared to my AT&T LG Optimus G (E-970). Since LG seems to manufacturer both screens (though I can't confirm that), why is the Nexus 4's screen so much more yellow? This is before the 4.2 software update, by the way:

I know camera white balance can throw images like these off, but they appear to my eyes exactly like they do here.
My LGOG was never like this out of the box, as I would have noticed it for sure (since the LG's white is the same as my computer screen's.)
Any thoughts? Are all Nexus 4s affected by this 'warmer' screen tint?
That's just how my new replacement n4 is. Has an ugly yellow tint over the entire screen. My original had a yellow bar along the bottom of the screen... Which was annoying but the complete yellow tint is worse yet!

Not at all, are you using a custom launcher with a desktop shadowing? Maybe just return it for a new one.

yep mine is the like that..
in settings menu you can actually see that the top is darker "blue" and the bottom is much brighter "blue" tone...
the same problem was on the Note 3 just not so visible because the menues was black toned
Mines similar too. Brighter on left hand side in portrait mode.

I don't see a reason to return it for a new one, because it on all Galaxy amoled devices.. S4, Note 3 and S5... I've had 4 Note 3 not because of faults and the all had this problem some more and some less... but it was there...
In the store I work I've seen it on all Galaxy S4 and note 3 devices... it's especially easy to see on a grey color..
on the S5 its a bit easier to se because of the color they choose for the background color in settings menu, you can actually see that on all the S5 devices I've handled including my ovn. the settings background is darker in the top and brighter at the bottom.. they all had a bit of variation..
Using the dead pixels test app, mine is evenly shaded
However, on the settings menu, the top does seem darker than the bottom. It seems samsung intended it to shade it that way

Tap it fast and gently on the 'smudge' for a minute or so. If there is any improvement, keep doing it till it disappears. If not, get a new screen.

Thanks for the tip but It doesn't seem to change anything.
If it doesn't spread I might keep it that way because changing the screen would cost me near what I paid for the phone!

could be delimitation, which means you need a new screen.
However try a screen calibration app first.
2nd a factory reset (this calibrates the screen on newer versions of Android)
if that doesn't work you probably need a new screen
The same issue arised for my screen, but it is fainter, think it is screen issue because when I was tapping screen during restart that part had a strange response. It appeared almost suddenly for me, any fix?
