there are dound to have dead pix on a LCD... its like lottery u will never know u will get it.... and i think if u need them to ship the device to u then for sure they will like to have a deposit, in case u decide to keep both the devices...

I didnt have any when I got it, now about 20 days into ownership I have a black pixel right slap bang in the middle of the screen! but it isnt really visible when on red for some reason, but all other colours it sticks out!

i have a green one i can only see on blacks. its quite annoying.

green one is just a bad pixel bro..you can push that are where the bad pixel is..
deadpixel is must be grey colour.but i am sorry,you can not solve this problem with the same solution..

Do you know if there is a way to fix it? i really dont want to get it replaced.. i just came from the mytouch 4g and it already had enough problems >_< and do you know if it will get worse.

You can go to youtube.com/watch?v=liMySLZkF5o and watch the video on your phone. It should help you with the bad pixel situation...
No guarantees though, but I guess its better than nothing. Some people in the comments for the video said pushing on the bad pixel helped too
Also watch out if your epileptic lol

another one popped up you have got to be kidding me. HTC is REALLY ticking me off. their screens are SH!T. screen was defect on mytouch 4g, screen sucked on mytouch slide, screen is getting stuck/dead pixels on HD7 now.
Im tempted to just get a focus, even though i love this phone..
Yeah, i have tried putting preasure on it, but its hard since the screen is glass lol.

[Q] "Broken" NCs on eBay?

Hey guys,
Thinking about pulling the trigger on a NC, but I don't want to pay $200-$300 as I already have a Nexus S and a Nexus 1. The NC is planned to be used for light Internet browsing. I found two "broken" NCs on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/160605400390 (Edit: Description for this one says "Lines on screen")
http://cgi.ebay.com/160605383436
The listing are ending soon, but I'm afraid to pull the trigger. I dunno what could cause these units to be broken besides:
1) Battery drain/issues
2) Water damage
3) Main component damage
3.1) Video issues (added)
The XDA part of my brain is telling me that the guy is selling it because of a bad flash but...if he's smart enough to flash, he's smart enough to read XDA and fix it. Plus, I hear NCs are pretty much unbrickable.
So, what do you think? Has anyone encountered things like this before? Should I pull the trigger?
Thanks!

Why don't you ask him what is not working? NC is unbrickable (software talking) but probably they have hardware problems.

I shot the seller a question before I posted this topic, but the NCs don't look damaged. (from the outside anyway) Just figured I'd poke my head in and ask around. I'll await a response and let you all know.

See edit above on the OP.

Have you ever bought a broken used car? And the guys says "O.. only this and that is broken" then you find out its even worse then what he said. And your no mechanic. Just my two cents I've made those kind of mistakes before... its not worth it. Especially if your no "mechanic".

The seller didn't respond to my question so I didn't bid. I wasn't planning on bidding until s/he answered my question.

I bought a broken one off eBay for a project that didn't really need the screen to work. Outside of the fact that it looked like a wolverine went crazy on the back and corners, the screen looked ok when turned off. But when you turn it on, the screen goes all white except for a few lines across the middle that appear to be displaying the UI.
Not a problem for me, but you might want to pass on these.

2nd Nexus returned....refund time.

I'm sorry to say my second Nexus 7 despite initially looking good has now popped the left side of its glass and displayed a stuck green sub-pixel. I'm really disappointed as I think its a fantastic device apart from the poor QC. I may try and buy later if I see on this forum that ASUS have got there act together.
Good luck to all who are trying to get a decent unit.

Poor QC, overinflated expectations for a entry level device, or a newly registered shill poster.

I replaced mine through the play store and its perfect. Maybe I just got lucky.

Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all... just some aren't prepped quite as safe as some of the others

Here is a thought... A crazy one I know but here you go....
Instead of constantly replacing a newly released device because of minor screen lift that does not effect normal use how about taking a chill pill, breathing in and out and relaxing?
Mine has screen lift and it still works great! Me? I will wait a few months and replace it once the flaw is fixed in manufacturing and there has been enough time to filter out all the flawed still in stock versions...

When I picked up my first one and it had screen lift, I was disappointed and angry. When I exchanged for a second one and it had screen lift and a non-functioning touch screen, I was just angry. When I picked up my third one with screen lift I just shrugged. Yesterday I picked up my fourth one with screen lift and a loudly popping speaker and I just laughed :silly:

There must be bad lots or something?
On my first unit I bought at staples and everyone I know local has no issues and no replacements. I have been and will keep looking for issues on them but so far so good.

Yeah, what is up with people, expecting a product without defects? That is just weird.
Hopefully those people get filtered out of the gene pool and we can live in a peaceful future were defects are accepted as normal.

I'll bet that what actually happens is you'll send yours in, and you'll receive a refurb with EXACTLY the same problem. But you're so Zen-like about the whole thing, you'll just smile and go through the process over and over and never lose your cool. I envy your calm.
Of course, you'll have to hope the defect is obvious immediately, because every time you connect a new device to your Google account (and granted, one should put a hard limit on how many defects one accepts before considering the product to be junk) you'll use up a Google Music activation. And we can only deactivate 10 devices in a year. A big deal? Maybe, if you go through freaking defective products like this trying to get one that works decently.
Oh, and that will be another device that shows up in your list in Google Play that you can't delete. You'll remove it from the menu, but it'll be sitting there, taunting you.
Oh, and maybe you open an ebook on the defective that's limited to 3 devices, and then you can't open the book on your new one. And maybe the "remove from device" option isn't there, so you have to go through Google to get things fixed. But hey, relax, right?
If you're happy to sit on a defective device for months with the hope that it'll be better fixed later, knock yourself out. For some of us, the Nexus 7 is a special device, being the only Nexus tablet, and we just want one without defects. This whole preachy routine really does get a bit old.

Here is a rational thought.
How about a device should not have a so called minor screen lift issue. That moves around when you touch you the screen. That when you pick up the device and hold it the damn thing feels like it is falling apart and about to simply break.
Only a fool would accept that and keep the device. It doesn't affect normal use? What are you smoking? A touch screen device with a defective screen doesn't effect normal use? So you're going to keep a bad crappy device for a couple of months because hell I don't know why. So everybody else should keep their as well.
These devices currently have a ton of QC issues. Fact. People will report and discuss them. The only trolls are the people that keep saying people reporting issues etc must be trolling.

Guess how many devices I have linked to my account? lol
Seven GNex phones and two N7s. I've returned 4 N7s but one of them had a broken touch screen so I couldn't actually set it up and on the other the screen lift was so bad that I didn't bother powering it up. Crazy stuff. I honestly don't know why I keep coming back to the Nexus brand after my recent experiences.

Here's an actual rational though.
Only a fool would fail to read and call someone out for something opposite of what they said.
CHILL OUT, COUNT TO 10 before you make yourself look like an idiot again. He never suggested you accept a flaw, he said that repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different result is not the best idea. Obviously you want the device, but instead of complaining about it here, which will do absolutely freaking nothing, why not take a breath and waiting a week? Rapid fire returns sure haven't worked for you yet.

Yawn....
Every device has growing pains the the N7 is no different... Google botched the pre-orders and they have a manufacturing issue to correct...
I will TRY and make this simple...
Let say Google had 10 million produced before they correct the manufacturing process / defect.. Now lets say they sold 5 million... That leaves 5 million defective units still on shelves / in stock...
You can continue to exchange it until the cows come home and guess what? Your replacement is going to come from the defective (read: in stock) pile until the defect is corrected and the originally shipped (read: defective) units have been depleted...
Save yourself the headache, stress, tantrums and wait a few months for the issue to be resolved and the fixed units to become the in stock norm...
If the unit has an issue that prevents it from functioning then that's another matter... Slight screen raise is not one of those... Keep on replacing it and keep getting the same (read: originally manufactured defect) unit in the mail... It's your headache not mine and I'm not the one throwing a tantrum in an online forum..
I will wait a few months and exchange mine once Google has resolved the issue and the in stock tablets are that of the fixed variety...

[VIDEO] Pressing the screen in a certain spot makes an audible clicking noise

Pressing on a certain spot of the screen (about 1/3 of the way from the top) makes an audible click and I can kind of feel it under my thumb too. I've had the phone for less than a week and it seems to work fine otherwise. I'll bring it into the Sony store on Monday to see what they say.
What could it be? Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's worth getting fixed?

How did you find out about this problem? Did you read about it somewhere and decided to try pressing your screen as well?
I'm pretty sure you'd never have found out about it during normal usage. Or did you randomly think to yourself "hey, I should really press my new phone's screen unusually hard and see if it make any noises" ?

I posted a thread about it a couple of days ago but should have mentionned it here as well that my phone wouldn't turn on after sleeping with it. I was checking for damage and I noticed this and assumed it was related. Though looking back, I'm pretty sure it was an unrelated software malfunction (kernel panic?), mainly because the battery kept draining during that time. It was at 60% when it was seemingly bricked (wouldn't even react to being plugged into multiple chargers and computers). then 24 hours later it magically let itself get charged, but for some reason was completely discharged at 0%. Everything worked normally from then on.

I'm a little worried about screen rigidity. After reading the other post about pressing the screen and seeing a rainbow and then seeing a YouTube video about a popping sound when you press on the screen. Hope Sony didn't go cheap here.

Thanks for the vid. Though in a similar spot, mine sounds clickier and high pitched, like a mouse click

I'd definitely send the phone for repair before the glass spontaneously cracks

As you know I had same problem as you re power button not working but my phone won't revive I've now sent it in for repair.
I tried you screen click thing and got no clicking

same problem here
I'm having the same problem. Could you please let me know if it's a manufacture problem or not. Thank you in advance. and hopefully it's not.

I think it is, it definitely shouldn't be doing that. But I've decided to leave it be. I've ordered some tempered glass screen protectors - should stiffen up the screen a bit among other benefits.

I've ordered a nillkin tempered glass + back screen protector as well. I'm waiting for it to be delivered in two weeks at most.
Anyways thanks for your answer. This problem, do you know if it happens to all device or just some? I have already tried putting it in water and it worked out just fine. Thanks again.

Seems like they all do this sound
I purchased my Z3 yesterday and I also noticed this weird sound while I was putting the case on. So today I went back to the store to see if it was just mine.
I tested 4 different Z3 with the dude a the sony store and they all seem to be doing the same sound at the same spot. However i still got mine replaced for one that seemed a little better than the others.
So yeah it looks like it's normal...

Guess what? I found the same issue somehow couple of weeks back and thought it was weird. I wasnt trying to test anything specifically and just clicking on phone for something at that time and heard the noise. So I did some more checks and saw it happening on the top half of the screen only.

Mind does the same thing. I bought it yesterday and noticed it this morning...hopefully it isn't something that I need to return it for.

They all do it, z3 and z3 compact. I tested 4 different z3 and 2 z3 compact at the sony store when I went to get an exchange for mine.
I took one which seemed a little less worst, but still do it.
I'm probably gonna buy a tempered glass, it might help lessen the default.

Having some tech issues, not sure if I should exchange phone (snapdragon,TMOBILE_US)

Hey guys,
I'm rocking a note9 128gb snapdragon tmobile us variant, and it's been great aside from the issue I will be sharing today.
When I either close an app and go to the home screen, switch apps or unlock the device sometimes it'll generate a blue bold line/or white thin line in between screens going either vertically or horizontally. It isn't much of an issue much more so ugly and I don't think it's normal cause it doesn't always happen and looks 'unprofessional' or unpolished. Yesterday however while watching a show on amazon prime app, i opened up a notification on my instagram app and clicked it and as my phone began switch to IG from the amazon prime app my note froze. It displayed a grey screen, and divided the screen into two large blue boxes. It looked like the phone had crashed, but then it loaded IG moments later. The grey screen /w two blue boxes lasted for a few seconds. THe boxes were just outlines, eg they weren't filled.
As I've had this phone for a little bit(about 3 weeks), I am wondering if this is a software issue I could fix with some settings or this is worthy or a replacement? Because I cant imagine that this is a normal feature...
Only 'mods' I have are install adhell 3 and using nova launcher. I have not rooted my device.
Thank you for reading.

have same phone on Tmobile and didn't notice nothing bad so far. Yours look like is defective and i would look for replacement/fix. This is not acceptable at this price range. You can always try factory reset and see if this is software issue but I doubt that or even try safe mode .
Other thing is I need easy way to install adhell I see u did it, i'd wish i could do too
