spot all around the fingerprint - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hi, I just purchased the dark grey version and I noticed a dark spot all the way around the fingerprint scanner as it if we're moist. I tried to clean it, but it seems to be permanent.
Does anyone here with this version has the same issue?

Yes, purchased from Amazon, who, no doubt got it for cheap because of the cosmetic flaw. Sold to me without mentioning it was a flawed case. Just another example of Bezoz's crimes !

Buying a Nexus 7 soon.

I'm planning on buying the N7 soon, as I played with it in a store today and it's definitely everything I want in a tablet.
That aside, I did hear about a lot of issues with hardware when it first came out.
You think any widespread production issues would be solved by now so my chances of buying a non-defective device would be better?
Buying from Walmart most likely since they have layaway,
Thanks.

Its likely that the newer batch of the Nexus 7 device may not have those screen issues, but again, that doesn't mean you should not buy and wait few more months... i bet in 3 months there will be new device coming out and that will create same dilemma. Bottom line -you can always return it and get a new one.

To be honest mate, I think Asus were rushing to get it out, so the QC wasn't as good as it should be.
I got a N7 last month, C80 version. I have to say absolutely flawless. No issues what so ever (touch wood)
Just get it out of the box in store, pus from the top right and bottom left side of the screen, check for any screen flex's.
If no screen flex's your good to go, take it home and have a little while testing it to see if you can find any other issues, such as Speaker crackle or light bleed.
If no issues here your good to go.
Good luck with this amazing device ! Have fun, hope I helped.
Put a N7 on layaway today, anymore insight?

Hey friend haha.
Well, I'm going to run the thing into the ground the first few days I have it to make sure there's no issues.

What I would look for.
Dead pixels (use an app)
Low brightness flicker. Open maps or some other white screen app at 0% see if it flickers.
Test screen responsiveness when its hot. Try playing a graphics intensive touch screen game for a while and see if it stops responding at any point or fails to recognize touch input.
Try using the keyboard as well this also triggers it.
Look at the screen at the store. Ask them to open the box (most will allow you) and look at the screen behind a black background. If you can see the gray part above the screen on both sides your good. Also test with your finger nail glide your nail from the screen to the gray edge. It should hit contact with the gray part not fall off the glass then hit.
Test the speaker at high levels. Make sure there is no whispers or that it sounds like its blown.

He is saying the glass should be slightly recessed, so you should feel a small edge. The way I see it is if you buy it from a store you will be able to return it, so don't be too worried. Also, its been a few months now, I wonder if the issues have slowed down some.
I got mine last night and so far its been great. I love it.
I wouldn't worry about issues, it's a vocal minority.. We have 5 here, all of them are perfect.

Xmas gift love it - need some suggestions

So my GF got me the 9 for my xmas gift (I got her an apple store card to outright buy the new 6, opposites and all)
Anyway I am having trouble finding a decent affordable case and glass protector for it. Im all over amazon with no luck. All the case seem like garbage and the reviews of the screen protectors say they arent real tempered glass and break easily.
Anyone bought a case they like yet. She got me a gift card to amazon with it to buy a case and I hate using my devices (all nexus) without cases on them. Wish spigen made a 9 case.
I bought this one it works great (so far) only had it for a day.

Let me know how it turns out. I figure it was on sale, so if it eventually gives out I'm not out much. ( it may always be on sale though so who knows).
There are so many cases on amazon it was hard to decide... I'm still waiting for mine to arrive but I went with this one.

Bumper goes around the entire tablet. The magnet is really strong, and no metal clips or stylus holders. It's a very clean case.

I think that I had either that case exactly, or something very similar to it, for my nexus 7, and the feature where you could make it stand up by itself was nearly useless, because it constantly fell down. it forced the tablet to stand at a nearly vertical angle, and it would just fall flat on it's face. Granted, I don't remember which brand, but I do know that I preferred to not use it.

Not a bad case- fairly priced, considering how much they want you to pay if you are considering what best buy and radio shack wants you to pay for things like that (From Belkin, etc).
However there are NO review.... always a little sign to be cautious.

its a cookie cutter case, meaning poetic has the same thing but with less designs. I'm holding it right now, yes the magnets are strong and it is a very nice slim case. the bumper goes all the way around with openings for the hard to find buttons , and the USB port and lower mic. with tiny opening for the upper microphone hole (both of them, yes the N9 records stereo vids)

screen protector is good quality. its a VERY thick dense acrylic urethane. Not glass like I want but I cant seem to find a glass one yet. Most say they arent in the reviews. For now for the price this is a really good one for the money.

Love this case. Just like the one I Have on my nexus 7 thats been on since 2012 and kept it new looking.
Fully protected, not heavy at all, and the stand is great. For 12$ its well worth it. love clam shell cases on my tabs so I get the comfort of know the screen is covered when I carry it. This is def a good case.

2nd Nexus 6p and unsure what to do

As the title says, I'm on my 2nd 32gb aluminum 6p and unsure of what to do next.
The first had numerous problems, random reboots, crashes and NFC issues too. NFC would only work intermittently and only in contact with whatever it was exchanging info with. Other NFC devices just had to be close.
The replacement came yesterday but the screen is so yellow and still NFC issues.
I know where to place the phone for NFC and have no troubles with my N4 or N6 but as I say, it works intermittently only and only then when moved around.
I really like the phone, camera, fingerprint reader etc but after 2 models with issues I'm not sure whether I should try a third.

I would definitely try a third. Third time lucky....
If it was me the yellow tint would bug me way too much and would always play on the back of my mind.

Thanks - the yellow is too off putting, its really strong. The NFC is really bothering me, is it weak in this phone? I've found others with similar issues on the net. If I could have a 6p with fully working NFC, no lags, reboots or holdups, and no tinted screen, I'd be very happy.
Just RMA it: I am on my third one because of the yellow/pink screen issue and the new replacement has it. This one probably will go back and then I am done with it and will wait till next year's model. Still loving my N6 though, despite weaker camera and lack of fingerprint scanner and slightly wider form factor.
In regards to your NFC issue. Do you try putting the visor near to the NFC device? I get better results that way.

My position too, I'm even using the N6 now and it's the new camera and fingerprint sensor from the 6p I'm missing most. As stupid as it sounds, I'm considering a different size or colour 6p. OK, that itself won't solve anything, but kind of going off the aluminium one now!

Yep, tried all areas of the visor plus the exact spot mentioned on the instructions - which seems to work the least best of all. That's concerning, having nfc problems with both devices. I've eeven tried my own NFC tags at home. N6 and N4, no problems, both reliable and work 100%. N6P, both models, a few times at best.
These aren't cheap phones. If you're not 100% happy, return it.
Thanks - I've had another chat with Google, they've said that the colour is a known issue and to give it two weeks to resolve itself which im not entirely happy about to be honest.

BTW get the 64gb model if you can. For only $50 you double the storage space which you can definitely use in this phone.

Nexus 6P Graphite. Fingerprint scanner is a different color?

Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?
Anyone?

Did you checked the photos I provided? Are you sure this is normal? I did not see this on my first model
Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P

Is it glass paint coming off?

Have any of you noticed the dots on the back of the phone? I have midnight black variant, and it's in the case since day one, but I lately took the case off and noticed few shiny dots on the phone. Is it paint coming off? I don't get it. Tried to clean it but didn't help. Please inspect your phones under good light and check if you have dots too. I've read it happened on 6 and 5t too... It's a shame, I have this in case all the time to protect it from damage, not to cause it...

The glass is likely frosted, not painted. Over time dust and debris will get into the case and cause minor marks and scratches. It's happened to me on a couple of phones. The case is meant to protect from major scratches and breakage. Only solution is to remove the case regularly and clean it.
Just get a skin on it and be happy!

But your phone bill every month is still many times more than a cheap skin still your argument is invalid and almost certainly false.

Jesus Christ, why the offtop so much? If you don't have to say anything in the topic - don't spam.
And my phone bill is 4 dollars.
Even if I was billionaire, the skin has nothing to do with thread topic so just stop.

As told to you in a previous post, what is happening is likely debris under your case acting as an abrasive and wearing the glass off similar to sandpaper. The discussion of skins is because they protect the phone from this damage, hence why they are popular even among people who keep the phone in a case at all times.
