Nexus 4 screen dots

Hi, I have noticed that when I have blocked my Nexus and I put it reflecting the sun light, I can see a grid of points, I don't know how to explain, but I have recorded my smartphone to show you what I'm talking about.

I know that is not bad, but I only wanna know what is that...
Thank you...

Thats normal its your touchpanel sensors i believe ive seen it on every touch phone i have had.

Didn't see it on my 2 Samsung Super AMOLED screens but it was also visible on my old Xperia X10. Probably depends on the screen technology.

I've also noticed that. It's not bothering though as it can be seen only when the screen is off. I know that Galaxy Nexus didn't had it. But I think it's kinda nice looking.

As it has already been said, it's the touch panel. Whether you can see it or not depends on the used touch panel. On some phones you can see it, on some you can't.
It's nothing to worry about.

Same here!

Nexus 4 has a pattern on the display.

This phone destroys the Nexus 7

I got a nexus 7 for Christmas and don't even use it because of my nexus 4. I mean sure it has a bigger screen but it's slower and with the latest Paranoid Android update the screen on my nexus 4 is better as well!
I have a top of the line laptop and top of the line smartphone. Where does a dated tablet belong in this scenario? Maybe I could use it to watch Dragon Ball Z at the gym. Or load it up with porn and use it as a mobile fap station.
I think I'm just going to sell it, what do you guys think I could get for it? It's a mint 32gb wifi model.
Thanks a ton XDA!

Well, I'd advise not to use it for porn, if you don't like it, sell it

You can't compare a phone with a tablet, but still I understand what you mean. The Nexus 7 is a value for money tablet with feature pack functionalities, but the screen is not up to par.

Why not use it for porn? Sounds fine to me. 7 inches is a usable size for anything sex-related (badum-tish)

the nexus 7 is much better for gaming(especially tegra optimized games) then the nexus 4.

dont think theres anything right now the adreno 320 can't handle. i mean come on, the unreal engine demo (epic citadel) ran on 60 fps on the N4. so it doesn't really make any difference. and the screen on the nexus 4 is significantly better than on the nexus 7.

My mate ran the spiderman man game on his nexus 7 and it lagged slightly, yet on my nexus 4 smooth as butter, yet it lags with vice city maxed out, not hard lag but in high intensity areas

But a lot of games are optimized for tegra and have added effects and graphics. I don't think he meant that it can't handle it, the nexus 4 is way more powerful. But games look better on the nexus 7.

Maybe wait for 4.2.2, because 4.2 runs like crap on Nexus 7.

I've noticed too that I'm not using my N7 much since I got the N4. For me though, it's more of a convenience thing. I kept close tabs on where the tablet was before I got the N4, but now I'm not caring as much where my wife leaves it.

Good decision. If not using it, sell it.
However, I use n7 more than n4 at home. I love my n7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I absolutely despised the N7. Hated the screen, headphone out sound quality, and the build quality. I bought an iPad for my tablet needs. Most of the time you get what you pay for with the Nexus 4 being an exception. It's a sweet piece of hardware that's definitely under priced.

The Adreno 320 is way faster than Tegra 3, that's not the point. Gaming is still better on a tablet than a phone. Unless you have to tilt the device a lot .

"Washed out" colors have been fixed

So I just got a second nexus 4 in the mail today...but this one came from T-Mobile ...got it for free with the special they had...
But the first thing I noticed when I turned it on ...the colors were very nice. They are no where near as bad as when i got my first nexus 4 directly from Google...
And another surprise to me was there was no T-Mobile crap loaded on it even tho one of the reps told me there was going to be ...

I just got my N4, the colors are vibrant and beautiful. You might think that I just don't know what I'm talking about, and but I own devices with washed out displays. My Nexus 7 is one of them.

Got mine today and it looks really good. Almost no bleed at full brightness all black.

could someone type this in the terminal on the n4 -> su (press enter) -> dmesg | grep lcd
but you must reboot before doing this.
it should put out a line where it says lcd_id: primary or so. could someone post whats stays there like primary?

All Nexus 4's will be pure Google phones. No aftermarket bloatware will be found in a N4 from Google or N4 from T-Mobile. :good:

Looks like you missed out typing 'su <enter>' before typing the dmesg command.

so apparently the terminal on my phone wasnt giving me root access... got it to work though

My nexus 7 looks amazing.. Not washed out at all.

A sudden fix is not likely but not impossible. Would one of you please go to
Settings/About Phone, scroll to the bottom and take a screenshot (power button and vol-)?
I'm interested in the Kernel Version and Build Date.
I wonder if they are different than the ones of the latest 4.2.2 release.

The highlight of my day was when my life long Apple user borrowed my phone to check a sports score and said man this this feels so sexy and is fast as hell. The screen is nice. In using trinity and custom gamma.

Hi
After going back to stock 4.2.2 using the factory images and clearing everything before installing the images I noticed the LCD colours have changed completely. The more washed out look I was used to is replaced by a much richer display, matching the HTC One X now, although not quite as overly saturated as the One X which is a bit too saturated.
My phone is from November and I was very familiar with the more washed out look, and I just assumed it was fixed in 4.2.2 that I see now.
Perhaps the new settings can only be picked by a complete wipe and install, hence phones shipping with 4.2.2 look better as they are a clean install, whereas maybe an OTA isn't changing the calibration settings.
Regards
Phil

Kind off topic , but im thinking about ourchasing from the play store and continuing using tmobile. Will the insurance and warranty work the same as if in had purchased from them directly? I jist dont want to overspend If I dont have to.

PHYSICAL Home button HW Quality

Just picked up the N3 yesterday - Nice device - But one thing that I notice - Is the Physical Home button doesn't seem as solid as the one on the N2 - It seems to always droop a little (very little) to one side (too much play in the housing?) - Anyone else notice this - or is it just my device?

Yea mine tilts a little. But still feels solid for now. I'm usually very picky about build quality, but everything else is great with my unit that I don't want to exchange and have a chance at getting a bad screen.

Well I guess that if it annoys enough people - maybe Samsung will manufacturer a collar to slip around it - to add more stability?
It's the only thing that I'm not impressed with - feels a little flimsy

What color is yours? I have the jet black and everything is solid. it even takes a fair amount of force to get the S-Pen in and out. Ive noticed with past Samsung phones white ones tend to have more build quality issues for some reason.

Jet Black here. Solid very firm... even more so than my Note 2 & S4

Mine is black - Spen is fine - just the home button - if you gently run the back of your nail against it from side to side - you can see it moves...
It's not like it's falling off or anything - just more movement than the home button on the N2.

That's great - but you will see in the AndroidPolice poll - that out of roughly 1,000 people who have a N3 and participated - ~60% have the sloppy home button & ~40% don't - You just happen to be one of the lucky minority

X-Ray Image Nexus 5

Hi,
I made a X-Ray image from my Google Nexus 5 @ 75kV. 8mA, three different contrast settings.
NFC, Qi charge coil, accu, cameras, speaker... readily identifiable.
Furthermore the high absorbtion of the ceramic power button and volume rocker.
Have fun!

Hmm, I'm thinking something different... I was looking for something suitable to use as a drive icon, for when the phone is plugged in to the computer. I think this might be it!

This is really cool - and yeah, some high-res images for wallpapers would be grand.
Even better, use it as a background for the N5 cropped to the right resolutions.

OK, CT scan next

I will check tomorrow if I it is possible to take a picture in higher resolution.

Hi Guys,
here an other one, combinated two pictures with a bit more sharpness.
A higher resolution is not possible with the hardware I get here, sorry for that! I think i could record a new image playing around with the camera frequency (=focus level) but i dont want to x-ray my phone 20 times to get an image which is a little bit less blurred.

Thx. Makes for a great background.
