I have a B70. No light bleed, creaks or dust under the screen.
Got mine yesterday and have no issues with it. No dust, no cracking, not seen screen bleeding. B70 seems to be fine.

Who the hell are you? He is here reporting information that is useful to others and you tell him the leave?
Many people, including myself happen to be a bit more of a perfectionist than you. I like my things that are brand new, to look brand new. I know, call me crazy. Just because you are happy with your imperfections, doesn't mean other people are.
When I spend several hundred dollars on something, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it leaving the factory. Period. If you are OK with it, great, but not everyone is.
I see posts like these on XDA all the time lately and it is just ridiculous. Why can't this place just be about helping people and making our devices the best they can be?

I just got my B70 unit now. No issues till now (A little light bleed only).
My B50 had bad light bleed, bad on/off, volume buttons and creaks. Let's hope most of us get lucky with the B70 revision
Now i gotta check if i have an Elite Tegra. Lol...

Because whining about imperfections that generally no one gets or cares about is annoying, especially when he already made a thread on the subject and decided to make a new thread just to QQ anyways.
For you perfectionists pricks: it's plastic, it's gonna creak, deal with it.
Dust and **** is fun stuff and all but we already know about all these issues since they have been posted about into oblivion already. If your smarmy self-righteous self wants to walk in here and say the exact same thing as every god damn other person before you, stating the obvious over and over again, then maybe it is you that has bigger issues than dust under the screen that you should be worrying about.

Look, we all want things to be perfect. But let's be realistic here. This is not the most expensive tablet on the market. There's going to be some flaws here. Some people can't see them but I bet there's an issue with every single one, even if the screen is off by a millimeter.
Instead of exchanging the tablets 4-5 different times, the smarter thing to do would be to get something else, maybe a G-tab or gasp, an iPad 2 (with fewer quality control issues). All you're doing is putting yourself through frustration, and really, no one can help you with that one besides yourself.
I cant believe there is ANOTHER one of these threads open. If you think the transformer sucks so bad go buy an ipad I love my transformer
B50
I've a B50 16GB model only and a little bit of light-bleed and a little bit of cracking...I decided it is not enough to have them exchanged.
A tablet that is for 95% good is quite good

Sure. You don't have to accept anything you don't like. The problem is you keep going back to the same product and assuming it will magically get better is unrealistic. One or two exchanges? Sure. But FIFTH? and made a thread about whining about it? Please turn on your TV and watch some news to see some real problems out there.
I've had my B1 for a couple of months, with absolutely no problems, but I'm puzzled about what the "B50" and "B70" references in this thread mean, related to the TF. I can't recall ever seeing them before.

I know you all are gonna hate me for starting another thread about gs4 "problems" so far I've had almost nothing related to others besides some small lag that hasn't bothered me much. I've been paranoid looking my phone over up and down for any problems before my 14 day period is up. The only real problem I've had is call quality.. I've had 2 dropped calls in a week and a ton of "what can you repeat that" " I can't hear you" in both speaker mode and normal talking. I'm guessing this is just AT&T so I'm not too concerned. Could someone give me a decent list off problems to check off from to be sure my phone is solid and I have no need to exchange it. Thanks and I'm reading for the flaming incoming. I have been reading these forums everyday since release so don't think I'm just coming in here blind to be lazy. Just wanna make sure my 600+ investment is gonna be worth my money after the 12th day

I am really thinking of selling this thing. I put it up at Craigslist just to see what kind of bites I get on it. I'm just having a hard time with some stuff:
Proximity sensor is weird, at times the screen doesn't turn on when I put the phone down when calling someone, and other times when calling someone and I put it up to my ear the phone seems to go to sleep and the call is disconnected. Sometimes when the phone doesn't turn on again the knock on sensor doesn't work and I have to use the power button.
Knock on doesn't work half the time. I've tried every variation of fast, slow, and keeping my finger in the middle. Sometimes it works beautifully , others times it takes 4 or 5 tries.
Random battery drain, seems it's that CIQ GPS issue, but it just randomly pops up and if the phone is in my pocket drains half of it in an hour or 2.
Rear buttons are getting annoying. They are sensitive, if it's in my pocket and I'm listening to music even a light tap of my pocket and the volume is affected. I can't really get used to them.
Speaker is TERRIBLE. I did the audio hack on here and raised it to 68, I also tried the Viper4android app, neither of them made much difference. Even if they did, it's still mono so doesn't make for a great emergency boombox. I can be in a quiet room and it's bordering on useless.
Even with CleanROM installed I still get occasional lag, it's only minor, but it just bums me out with such powerful hardware.
The rest of my complaints are with Android and things that are just not polished or ready for prime time, but that should be another subject.
Pluses:
The screen is insane, and it's VERY easy to read in sunlight.
The battery life (when not bugged) is pretty insane as well.
Android is cool to tinker with.
Who else is on the fence?
Err no

Sure you just didnt get a monday-version of the phone?
I mean.. I have had a BLAST with the G2 so far.
I wouldnt sell it if I got the double for what I paid.
Well.. I would.. and I would buy another one !
But on my G2 I have no issues whatsoever. Not rooted or anything yet though.
O.P, you have a defect.
My phone definitely doesn't act like that. I'd try exchanging first before selling it altogether
Why did you wait till after the return window was closed? I'm afraid Craigslist would only net you some low ballers.
I'm not sure which carrier version you have but if it's a Verizon version expect nothing but low ball offers.

OP is alone on this one. So far it's been the best phone I've owned. The screen and battery kill all.
I tend to wonder if people start threads like this in the forum of the phone they are selling just to get attention. Just sell it and move away quietly. No one really cares.

I originally bought it off CL for $400, maybe that's why they sold it, lol. I already got 2 offers for $400 so should at least break even. Maybe I have a defective one, but don't feel like going thru LG warranty.

I don't think so. The phone just came out so the warranty is still good provided there's no water damage or anything major.

I haven't sold my phone. I will probably send it in to LG to see what they think, I just was hesitant to do that in case they can't replicate the problems. I didn't feel like waiting a month just to have them send it back and say it's fine. Seems they are intermittent. Most of the time the phone functions well, other than a slight lag. The proximity sensor issues are fairly occasional, but I haven't had the phone in a while. The knock on sensor is about 1/3 the time, but anecdotally I've read lots of other users having the same issue so that may be a universal problem with maybe a batch of them. The battery drain issue is also a well known bug with CIQ which some experience.

2 months in, and tmobile is already taking $120 off the retail price. sales must be horrendous
I bought my G4 about 1 month ago and mention this discount to a representative who credited my EIP $60 as as courtesy.
Through my trials and tribulations with the G4 I was able to submit three different rebates for both the extra battery and the 128 SD card and sold them all on eBay for an additional $270 minus fees... So all in all I'm in the G4 for dirt cheap but I'm still not satisfied with this piece of crap phone.

This root less phone is just not worth anything.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & LG G4
every day I use the phone I find more bugs. I can no longer type fast because it misses so many taps. My phone is froze every morning from the wireless charger, so is my girlfriends. half the time double tapping the volume down won't open the camera. if I get a text my screen will turn on and stay on. it will never turn off until I read the text message. If I have an app up that keeps the screen on and I hit the power button, when I turn the screen back on to check the time it will stay on and never go off, even though still at lock screen. I could go on forever. I bet root would fix 98% of this. I think the worst problem, missed taps, is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed with software or root. I'm afraid the phone is complete ****.
I think everyone that has issues should try one factory reset. I feel like that solved all of my problems. Root would be very nice but not a deal breaker like it used to be for me. Now that I have kids the number one priority for me is the camera, and this is about the best there is.

Root isn't gonna fix any of it. It's not some magic thing that does anything really but make your system partition writable. If you're having all of those issues (and the same to the other people having issues) you've probably just got a bad phone from a bad batch of them. I had to RMA my first one, no further issues. Rather than continuously dump on the phone (which, by the way, I don't particularly care for either, and won't have another LG phone in the future, but my issues aren't with bad hardware/software, mostly company dynamics), try and get it fixed/replaced. Your issues will probably be largely fixed.
The factory reset is also a good idea, and will tend to fix most issues...but in the event it doesn't, simply get it replaced. But honestly the hollering about how bad the phone is...? Overall it's a decent piece of hardware. Not the best, but not the worst by any means. Take matters into your own hands and get the thing fixed/replaced.
I have has two G4 devices, and both have been flawless. I have no tap issues and I'm a fast typer. Then there are the people that have been talking about other bugs. I'm just so happy with my G4. Of course every aspect could be bettered, but that's true with every device. I love the G4 and here in Europe the prices drop on every device sooner or later. Especially in down times where people aren't buying phones. Everyone here is getting ready to go on vacation ...

root will fix most of it what are you talking about. xposed framework will fix almost everything. And I don't continuously dump on the phone, this is a thread about the phone not being that great. If you love it and have no issues go find a new thread. I don't particularly care for your opinion either. I have already had it replaced once. I have every intention on changing it out again, but I'll wait a month or so for them to fix the bugs vs getting another **** phone. I might add that when I spoke to LG they said the Verizon ones are having the most trouble.....and that the only difference was software....so once again I believe root will help.

Was considering on the 6p or z5 but I'm not liking the fact that on the Sony phones when it get to a certain temp it won't let you operate the camera,it'll either shut down on you while using it or won't let you open the camera app. So now I'm thinking of getting the nexus 6p.

It was a honest question. Hope you get answers you are looking for.
So far for me, the only thing I don't like is not being able to tweak the way Ambient display works. It's only on or off. But I'm nitpicking here and it isn't really even a con, and certainly not a hardware thing.
Otherwise, I've been loving it! I don't believe you'd regret your decision if you choose the 6P.
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------
*Additional notes:
- For video: I have taken a few videos with my 6P, and they haven't been jittery and look smooth for a phone camera.
- For battery: I don't know what you classify my daily usage as, but so far, starting with a full charge in the morning, I have not had to charge my phone before bed even once. Most of the time, I have around 50% left when getting ready for bed. If it's more heavy usage, it'll be lower, but still not close to dying. It's a fwiw kind of thing.
- Build quality: No issues here for me so far, although I am using a case. Someone who rolls with a naked 6P could probably give you more pertinent information on that.

You really have nothing to lose. Why don't you just buy it and give it a try? If you don't like it, return it. I think my advise is the best. You can get everyone's response but in the end...your feelings about the phone will determine if you keep it or not.

This is very true. The things one person likes/dislikes about a phone, you may feel differently about. I gave some of my impressions above, but you'll ultimately have to get some hands-on time with it to know for sure.
Yep, buy it, try it, then make your own decision...
Thank you guys for the feedback. I will be purchasing the phone

Cool! Welcome aboard.
If there is one thing, I really change on the phone is the buttons placement for power and volume. Other than that, this is a solid phone. Yes it does have its own fare share of issues, but most of them will/can be fixed with a software update from google.
