White pixel.

I posted last night that there is this really small white dot on my screen. It only visible on light colors like white . But its not visible if the color is really dark. Like on you tube where the search option is it not visible but when i go to Facebook i can see right next to my notification but its small. Anyways is there a way for it to go away? This phone is only like a day old :/ & it was bigger last night but it got smaller because i played a video that repeated blue red and green fast because i heard it make stuck pixel go back to normal.
Also is it a dead pixel or stuck?

Return the phone if you can't live with it.

^ same here :s
BDW, OP can u please post the picture of your white case on N4? Or u can PM me the link if u upload elsewhere.

I'd RMA it, pretty sure they'll replace it free of charge. Although it's just a pixel, stuck and/or dead pixels annoy the crap out of me because once you notice them, you can't stop looking at them every damn time!

Depends on Google/LG's interpretation - Samsung don't except anything under 5 pixels as faulty

Its really small i sent a picture to the rep that i was speaking too he said its small but we will still replace it . But im worried that when they inspect it they wont see it & they will charge me :/. It only like 2 days old now.
Also i told the rep that i been have some random reboots.

I just saw a white pixel on the middle of the screen but I can only appreciate it at dark, when screen is black and brightness set to maximum (which I never have on dark environment). Was that an issue for you? I really have to look for it for a while in any other case. Pixels are sooo small. Don't even bother to rma. No other issue with the phone.
I'm thinking it's just a pixel stuck in a grey colour because it so difficult to see.

I have the same issue but luckily it's right at the top under the notification bar so only see it very occasionally when I turn to landscape in Gmail or something.

Nexus 6P box arrived without a phone inside

Has anyone else had this happen? I'm on the phone with Google now attempting to explain this issue.
I received the white cardboard box that had an intact seal around it. I opened the box, found a charger, 2 cables and instruction booklet.
Has anyone experienced this?

Wow that's weird. Where did you order from?

They can solve this by checking the weight of the package as of shipping.

They could - but that depends if they actually weighed the box, and didn't use that pre-informed label Google sends saying it weighs 2 pounds.
I personally haven't seen that happen.
I'd challenge them additionally to check your phone activations on your account and a 6P not being one of them.

Wow, speaking of Houdini! Bummer

Won't Google just wipe the phone using the serial or imei number ,I've heard of this with the iPhone and ipad, they just shut it down so its only any good as a paper weight

If we were Google, then yes I would very much think this, but he has zero to gain by posting on this forum asking us if it ever happened to us as well.

Dead camera pixel

Are these dead pixels? I have found 13 on my SGS7E
Can anything be done other than an RMA?
Thanks

Not sure but I was on APF2 and now on APFG and I have never seen this hot pixel again. And from what I saw people who reported this problem are all on APEQ firmware. So I assume it's the problem.

think that its software problem but not sure (APEQ). Samsung France said I should give my device to the nearest repair center cause of the possibility that will be the hardware problem. I didnt give it for now... Anyone try with stock firmware?

I am shure You shut the pic in HDR on mode. And when you take several pictures the hot pixels apear in the same Position,that why i think it is hardware related isue.Also it show that only the Samsung Sensor ist affected.

Samsung insisted my phone needed to be repaired for this. Just got it back and the problem remains! do they not even check before they ship them back!?

I also sent my phone to repair. There are 2 hot pixel at the center of the sensor, only appears in HDR mode.
Firmware info: 2016-09-08, Spain, G935FXXU1BPHJ
If they don't fixit, I'll insist until the problem be solved

Finally, customer service repaired mine, changed the camera module. Now I don't have any hot pixel even in HDR mode. :victory: :good:
Fast service, I thought that this task would take more time

Microphone Echo for Other Party

I had a Nexus 6P for about a year and experienced this issue where if I was on the phone and had it on speaker, the other person could hear their Echo. I now have a OnePlus 3 and am longing for the Nexus again. The only thing holding me back is this issue. Does this issue still persist?

The only reason I wouldn't want to is because the OnePlus 3 is selling for more on eBay than the Nexus is, otherwise I'd be for it.

OK. Let me know if you change your mind.

This exact problem happened to me ..... I reached out to Google support and they sent me a replacement phone that no longer has that issue that I was dealing with for so long .... I think if you bought a brand new phone from Google you wouldn't even have the issue anymore . Just my opinion.

I found this fix earlier. I don't have the issue but people say that this fixes it. Just change this line in the build.prop

It's a hardware problem. Exchange it.

While I'm greatly disappointed that soli is not working... I've read somewhere a patch in January will address the issue.
Aside Form that, I'm quite happy to use the phone as is for now. Form factor + stock android is very important to me.
