Alright, noticed that a few days ago - bottom part of screen, a navigation bar, is burned out, and that's kinda sucks!!! I can clearly see it in full screen mode (YouTube, games etc). Looks like a burned out old ass crt monitor lol.
So, if anyone having the same problem? Is this a reason to RMA? (Bought my phone through Google, December 2015)
Upd: top of the screen is the same, just not that noticeable than bottom(...

Show some picture of it so that we can clearly judge what it is...

It can also be just an after image, not sure how its called exactly, but long story short if you leave screen on with white red green etc colors on for some hours it will go away. There are apps designed to do that
This has happened to some extent on all my amoled phones. It's the compromise you make for such amazing blacks.

I have had my Nexus 7 for around 3 weeks, it was perfect, I was so happy with it and I had no problems with the screen lift/bleed like many other people. I knew it was risky to buy the first batch after all of the problems reported on these forums, but now my Nexus 7 has the blue and red stuck pixels that are only visible on a black background with the brightness turned up, I can also see them when I boot the tablet. I have added pictures below, although it makes it look like the screen is bleeding, it is not, it is just the way the photo was taken. I bought it from Tesco Direct so I have a week left to return it, should I or is it risky because I could get a device with even more faults?
Thanks
From those photos it looks like there is no problem at all. Where are we supposed to be looking? Are they in the middle of the screen?
The judgement call is yours. Can you live with the fault? If you can't take it back. The chances of repeatedly getting a dud are slim.

Yes. It is the purple streak, sorry for being unclear, this is my first post on this forum, I guess I should have circled it in red.
You could try one of the many dead pixel apps from google play

I got my Nexus 4 yesterday, and just today I've noticed that when in dark screen (locked, or simply the settings page) and outside of the house I see kind of weird black lines on the whole display screen, going form top to bottom making some 3 small square shapes after the others all over the display, can be obviously seen when display facing bright sky outside in almost any angel, but in room light barely can see them with certain angels.
will make a photo of it asap.
p.s. I've never seen a notification light yet on the middle bottom of my device.
Anyone same "problem" with display?
Its the digitizer.

Could you link an example image from goolge or something to make sure it is what I mean? can't seem to find something alike..is this normal?
I can confirm that its the digitizer I too have found that with this phone it is very easy to see even with weak light I see it when I get the right angle. It looks like you described but the vertical lines look more like dots arranged neatly than lines on mine.

Just noticed the same thing on my device. Thought I was tripping out maaaaaaan

Its the digitizer, its normal. I think its because of the "zero gap" technology thing ; the display and the digitizer are right below the glass.
As for the notification light, download Lightflow from the Play Store. Works great.

For the notification LED, make sure you enable the " Pulse notification light" option in Settings->Display. Using Lightflow on top will give you lots of customisation options though.

I am now noticing the same issue in my nexus 4. If it is because of zero gap technology then why it is not there in iPhone 5 and other phones which use this technology?
I also notice that my brother who got the phone some time in November 2012 is not having this issue. I got the phone in Jan 2013...is it issue with only the new lots?
What google and LG are doing to address this issue?

Its the digitizer. I mean seriously why are y'all complaining about that, its normal.

Do you buys have light bleed from the top right of your screen? The way I see it clean as day is when my brightness is on full blast and a black screen. If you download the app screen test and test the colors what do u guys see?

every nexus 4 i saw so far had light bleed from the top of the screen closer to the right edge. cant do much about it...
OK just making sure I'm not the only one. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yup me too. Glad to see im not alone. :good:
My first one didn't have it, but my RMA has one. Try the Paranoid Android rom. The color preferences in the new build are helpful in decreasing the bleed. Also Try themes which don't use black color bar like Lunar UI and Popstyle.
I tried to RMA the RMA but when I called the call center and said that I had a "light bleed" they din't understand a thing and I had to explain it myself. The reason I didn't RMA the phone because the employ pissed me off saying "have you tried to reboot the phone once again while charging it?"
Yes I noticed that right when I turned on the phone but those little thing doesn't really bother me.. I'm happy to own a nexus for just 400 bucks it saved me a couple hundred bucks which I used to pay my bills

Mine has it too mate! There's enough of us that have it to say its deliberate!

I have 2 Nexus 4 (one for sister and one for girlfriend), which were both purchased last week and arrived this week. Both their serial number starts with 301K.
Here is the weird part: for one of the phone, it is very easy to see under the glass. When there is adequate lighting and the display is off, it is very easy to the see the circuit-like component just under the glass. This is not true for the other phone. The display also has a more of a yellow tint than the normal one. Otherwise, the display looks and works fine.
Anyone else also experiencing this, or know what's the cause of this issue?
Thanks!
This is how the pattern looks like under the screen:

It's because the touch screen sensor (I don't know the correct term) is closer. Basically it isn't an issue, it's a design. Nothing to worry about.

But it's not nearly as visible on the other Nexus 4 that I have
I received my brand new N4 from Google on Wednesday, and pretty quickly I noticed that all across the left hand side of the screen it is lighter than the rest. In certain lighting and on grey backgrounds it's more noticeable. At first the discoloration looked more defined and I thought it was maybe the area the screen was glued down, but now it seems to be spreading. Is this a known issue? Is Google suppose to replace this kind of thing, or do I need to go to LG for my warranty?

If your not happy with your purchase return to Google for refund within 14 days.

Mine was doing that too a while after I replaced my screen. It turned out that my battery had swelled because I pierced the casing when I removed it. Replaced it and all is well. But if it's new? Have them exchange it.
I had the same issue my screen ways super discolorated but after 3 days it went away.

Yeah I'm just going to get it replaced, it's still spreading. Thank guys.
