Ok. I noticed something today that I have never thought to look for on a cell phone today. I was in the process of taking a picture, and I got a notification right before I snapped the picture. I noticed that my picture screen got super wavy. I then had the bright idea to call myself with my camera app open. The results are less than stellar. I cant describe it accurately, so try it for yourselves. Open your camera app like you are going to take a pic, then leave it open and call yourself, or have someone call you....ill wait..
....
... Did you see it? Is thT normal?or doni have a bad phone ?

Mine didn't get "wavey" it did get blurry because of the vibrate that was happening and kept losing focus every time the phone vibrated
Nope. Just drop down menu notifying me of call.
T Mobile reps tried to tell me it was a new notification method lg came up with . mine was more than blurt. It look like the flashback fade in Wayne's world lol

I have had my phone for about a month now and about 6 days ago I realised that it is now taking really blurry pics, so blurry you can barely see peoples faces without getting an inch from their face. My phones been dropped twice so there is a few dings on the edges. I wanna bring it in for warranty exchange, do you think they will just see the dings and assume the issue is because I dropped it? The camera issue didnt even start till atleast a week after the last time it got dropped. Or is the camera thing a known issue with this phone?
Thanks for any help or info.
Did you try cleaning the lens with some type of cleaner

When I was talking to the them they said its wasn't one of their "known" problems but it obviously is. But I just found out that the speaker for your ear doesn't work. I have to use speaker phone to make/receive any calls.

Turn the iso from auto to I think 600 I think it'll be a bit more grainy but the blur will be less

Well for some reason, at random times, when I press on my screen the notification bar will drop down. This gets annoying because It won't allow me to do anything. For example, if I were to bring up google and type something, each letter I try to type the notification bar will drop! ugh.. what could be causing this problem? is it the screen needed to be replace? any advice?
also I have to hold the phone in a upright angle in order for it to work properly. If I leave it,for example, flat on the table it won't really pick up anything I push. But as soon as I lift it up and tilt it, works fine.
I kinda have the same prob but mine will type different letters then i push and will even take overat times but I think mine has to do with the bad seal I got cause I have one of the first model's

Screen covers often times will cause this. Happened to me every few days when I had one. And fyi, I'm a mechanic, not had a screen protector in months, and no scratches. This screen is pretty resilient.

know of a step by step how to fix it? but before I do anything like that, how can I tell if I'm still under the 1 year manufacture warranty, I got this phone from private seller at a low price.

Call sprint

Mine did this over time eventually my touch screen just gave out and i had to go get a refurbished one
I am having the same issue with Sprint Hero CDMA. I tried clearing all factory settings, delvick cache, and anything else I could find to clear in recovery. I then used a RUU to clear it completely back to factory, still no luck. I noticed that what it is actually doing is for some reason it is sensing the touch only at the top. I figured this out while playing 'alchemy classic'. If i tried to touch any of the top icons, (for those that do not play it, these are in the same are of the notification bar) it wouldn't work. When it stopped letting me move the elements around, if i clicked anywhere below one of the top icons, it would select the icon above it, regardless of how far down on the screen I touched. I will be going to the sprint store to have them look at it, hopefully they will have decent news.
Hello everyone.
I have notice a problem with my nexus 4.
It's like it's a dent under the screen that's only visible when light is reflected on it. And it's only visible from the side.
I'm really confused because its not really affecting the screen when it's on and dosent seem to cause any problems.
I've found a video on YouTube were a guy filmed how nexus to show how it looks.
He has he's phone up side down sp you have to look at the top off his screen on the video. It's most visible at the end of the video.
Can you guys please look at the video and after at your phones and look if you have the same problem.

Even if you don't see it, please write and let me know.
Replacement
I don't see the problem, but I'd definitely call Google and explain what's going on. I bet they will send you a replacement.

Okay. But I live in Sweden so I can't really call Google. But I will try to go to the store where I bought the phone to get a new phone.
But the thing is that I do think that many people have this but haven't noticed it. I mean, it's really hard to see. But now that I know it's there. I see it all the time when the screen is off and when the light hits the screen.

I don't know. I guess it bothers me that the screen is dented.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I have this too, top left corner, you can only see it when the light hits it at a certain angle. The thing is the screen is unaffected by it so i'm tempted just to ignore it as the rest of the phone is perfect :good:
Okay. It seems like I'm not alone at least. You haven't noticed any trouble with the phone?
I've been using the spectacular camera on this phone and I just started noticing that it's leaving a green line in all my pictures. Anyone have any ideas as to what's causing it? There's no line on the screen using the front facing camera or on the screen at any other time. I have attached a couple pictures so you can see what I'm talking about. In both instances they are on the left side of the picture.
I'm no expert but if this is showing up on every picture you take, then I suspect it is a faulty camera sensor. Does it do this in video mode? Different camera resolutions and modes? I'd take it back for a replacement.
Yeah, definitely sounds like some sort of hardware failure.
Yeah it shows up in video mode as well. I was afraid it was a hardware issue. Looks like I'll have to unroot it and have it replaced. Thanks for the replies!!
You don't have to unroot to get it replaced. If you wait about a week the store should be able to harvest another camera from a return or something. They just have to wait 60 days from the launch before they can open them. Also if they give you any crap about it being rooted tell them to check for m and p on it. It's states that software mods don't void sprints warrenty.

I unrooted it anyway and had them send me a new one. Hopefully the camera holds up this time, but that's good to know for future reference. :good:

I took it into Sprint and they told me that it was definitely a defective camera. Take it in, have it diagnosed, and they'll have it replaced...hopefully. The manager at my Sprint store was all about helping me out.
CRAP! Now I've got some dead pixels in my camera. Was messing with the voice controls & noticed 2 black dots during the preview when I voice opened the camera. They're in the picture when I took it. The phone was already going to be replaced on WED, so now it's just another reason . . .
My front camera is blurry, can't focus properly. Anyone else with this problem?
Does the camera look sharp when using the viewfinder, but blurry when actually taking a photo? Because that's the problem I'm having...
Try cleaning the lense. Would be great if you post a picture to see what you mean.

The cleaning of the len is the first thing I tried. But thanks. Here is a photo. As you can see is blurry around the hand, face or anything that I take a picture of. The back camera is perfect, it is just the front one.
Seems out of focus.

Yes that the problem even if I touch the screen to try to make it focus. I guess I got a defective unit if no one is having the same problem. I will have to return it.

*yikes* sorry to hear that. Did you order your phone from Google or Huawei? I saw someone else had a defective phone from Huawei and he reached out to Google. Google shipped out a new phone right away with 3 days shipping process. If I were you I would reach out to Google asap.

Yep he called huawei and was told he would get a call back which never happened. Then he called Google and they sort out his issue right away. I am getting mine from huawei so I will make sure to ring Google first in case of any defective.

The front camera does not have autofocus. They're usually adjusted to a set focal point at the factory. When you tap the screen when you're using the front facing camera, all that's doing is adjusting the exposure (shutter speed). Unfortunately, yours seems to be mis-adjusted.*

Thanks for the information.
