Bought nexus 4 last month it was 301k then found its volume down button doesnt work so called Google managed to get replacement so Today I received my replacement phone which surprisingly 301k but after playing with it whole day I've found many difference between my new one and the faulty one.
The screen is much brighter in the faulty one, white looks very bright which looks very good but screen is kinda yellowish on the new one. I've installed pa ROM on both phone because its colour calibration is much better than stock, however blue colour looks natural on my new phone that's probably because of yellowish screen but on the other it hurts my eyes as its screen is bright.
Vibration is little bit strong on the new phone.
Sound through earpiece was louder on the faulty one but not that loud on my new phone but I still think its loud.
Phone gets warm quickly on the new one. Therefore faulty one has best benchmark score.
Camera is good on the both but on the new one camera lens placed very accurately.
Battery life is same but new phone charges quicker than the faulty one. Left them on charge today new phone was full charged after approx. 2.15 hr and faulty one was full charged after 2.35 hr.
Pressing buttons experience good on new phone but on the faulty one buttons are hard to press.
That's all I have found sending my phone back to Google tomorrow but I liked the faulty one screen looks very vibrant and bright if I could fix the volume button I would have kept it. By the way has anyone else noticed any difference on their replacement phone. I could make a video but don't have any camera but managed to take a photo of both phone.

I don't believe the revision changed anything of this nature. Spreading these types of rumors are what makes all the dummies go and rma when they're is nothing wrong with the current phone..
To the op... You are saying that both phones are turned all the way low with brightness? Your old one hurts your eyes when turned down?
I think every phone will look a little different but it could be due to using different versions of the rom and Kernal you are using. To compare you should bring them both to stock and make sure they are using the same versions.

Not all phones are exactly the same. I would suggest find a ROM/kernel / and color preset found in XDA That makes your phone to your liking. Unless you feel like u have a serious issue then get another replacement.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Well neither I'm saying something wrong with my new phone nor saying I'm gonna RMA my device. Just feeling but wired that new one has different things than old one. yes I've installed same ROM on both and same brightness level but the display is just a bit yellowish believe me or not on stock you can see the difference.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I noticed similar differences. I have had my rev10 for 2.5 months now and just bought a rev11 this week and definitely noticed a little more of a yellowish coloring on the new one. I also did notice the 11 did have a stronger vibrate than my 10 did. I did not however notice any differences in the earpiece quality.

Screen being a bit yellowish is a good thing cause less chance to get yellow spot which I had on my first nexus from first batch. This is my third nexus by the way and I have to say I have had different experience with three of these phone

Give the screen some time to cure. The yellow will go away. The glue needs to dry

Well sort of. My phone has a really really blue tint to it. I'm not sure what it is but no reds nor yellow colors can't be seen. The yellow looks really green. As for the red it looks really dark red somewhat blackish. Tried replacing the amoled 3 times. Still same.

I know I ordered my 4th amoled display hopefully it works!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You ordered a 4th screen? It's obviously not the screen. But the controller or something else wrong with the hardware or just the connection to the screen itself.
The chances of the first replacement having the exact same problem is pretty low, but 3 screens all acting the exact same means the screen is working perfectly. Replacing it again will not fix it.
My original amoled display ribbon ripped so I ordered another from China. That's when it was blue. maybe its not original although it states it is

So my girl's droid 3 has been acting up and want to try and get a replacement but she spilled cooking oil on screen and has a dark spot on LCD which happened early March. That did not effect the performance at all but lately its been going nuts. My question is can I get a replacement and not be charged for the the LCD problem even though it didn't effect the performance? Just want to know if anybody here has had the same incident or something similar or even your input would be nice. Thanks In Advance
Sent from my Paranoid JellyBeen Nexus using XDA Premium App
How dark is the spot you are talking about? Are the performance issues now related to the screen response? Because it kind of sounds like now there are issues with the screen because of the oil incident.. ;]
I had to warranty my D2G awhile back. I declared a few somewhat major cosmetic problems to them as I was a jeweler at the time and had probably damaged it in some way during the course of my work. The problem with my phone had ended up being hardware related and had nothing to do with the damage and so my phone was replaced.
Here's pics of the screen and the problems happened months after the oil spill

But no the problem is that is gets hot and randomly reboots all day everyday the screen works perfectly except for the dark spot on screen

make the background pure black, avoid putting light apps where the dark spot is, and then i would bring it in lol
maybe turn the brightness down a bit also
Well if I turn the light down its too dark and can't see anything where the dark spot is at. But that's not the problem I want to know can i get a replacement to fix the over heating problem and the random reboots that happens frequently. I have no problem with the dark spot on screen

Well if you bring it in and tell them about the spill, they will probably tell you the overheating & rebooting is from that and im pretty sure spills are not covered by the 1 year warranty. And the spill would void the warranty im pretty sure also.
If you have insurance they will replace it though.
You could always go to the store and see if the rep will let you exchange it. You might get a nice one. It's unlikely but withholding info I think is fraud.

Looks like that dark spot is over the cpu... I'd try saying the dark spot was caused by the heating issue and maybe not mention the cooking oil...
^^^^^^^
I second that. Tell them that one day the phone got really hot in her pocket and then this screen dark spot appeared. She had been dealing with it 'til now, but she's finally sick of it since these new issues arose.
I could also try that to just don't want to send the phone in and they open it and see oil inside and they charge me for a whole new device even though it happened months ago. Does anybody know where the water censors are or the only one is in back of phone?

Just go in and they should replace it their if they have any in stock. Or they might offer you a different device.
It doesnt matter if it happened months ago, technically this would VOID your warranty. Like said above your best chance is to bring it in and say the it kept overheating in your pocket since a few months back and started noticing that dark spot.. If they did check the water sensors and they WERE TRIPPED then they wouldnt replace it, because that would void your warranty.
Hi guys, after having so much trouble last year with screen lift issue I quit on nexus 7,
So 2 days ago still wanting a nexus I just gave a second chance and got a new 32gb. Looks like the screen lift is no more here but now I notice a very different hue tint on screen, is very pink/yellowish in compare to my iPad, and my kid nabi 2, I went to store and compared with an open one they have and is obvious mine was very pink/yellowish, I also notice that mine was extremely more bright at full brightness and colors looks good just whites are out of balance, but since I use to read books on white background and browsing the web I hate the pinkish on white background.
I got a replacement one and looks exactly like the returned one. So what you think guys/? Did the newest batch of nexus are all like this, did Asus are using a different screen to solve the screen lift issue?
Should I keep this one. ?
Another thing I notice shadows on left an right side when in portrait mode. Whites looks like an old pirate map.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Might be tech ocd might also just be a very slight tint. I have a brand new 32gb model and I am very impressed with the screen this device packs. Asus might have changed something regarding display in the newer models. Not to sure though.
Edit: this is my 3rd nexus 7. The other two were faulty. (Coaster rings in middle of display + clicking sound due to faulty back cover)

You can't even swap it for a different one? Even though you purchase with a gift card it still represents a value (in your case apparently the exact value of one Nexus 7) which should function as it should. Let the shop return the faulty one themselves.
Yap, I did swaped once the very next day, just to get a second nexus exactly identical, but from a different location.. I have 30 days so I maybe wait for the next batch. Maybe I'm lucky and grab a rumored nexus 7 2nd gen

hello everyone. had the one for 3 weeks now. I just noticed a very small blue dot almost at the center of my screen when taking pics or recording videos. I could only see it on camera mode though. on home screen it does not appear. ran dead pixel test and did not find anything. I been searching forums and found nothing similiar . I'm debating on returning it or is there a fix for this. I'm completely stock, unrooted for now.
Is it in your photos?
Yes. I just tried it.

At this stage, you likely won't get a refurb.
That said, it looks like your camera actually has a dead sensor. Not sure what, if anything, you can do to try to clear it up short of taking in the phone.
It obviously isn't the screen.
Ya, I am no genius on this subject by no means but that pixel would be considered stuck instead of a dead pixel. If it is on the software end of things then going through the various colorize settings in that particular camera mode and taking snapshots may release it. Maybe even a factory reset may release it back to normal.
Then again it may be a warning sign that that pixel is about to go dead too I guess. I really hope you get this cleared up for sure and I for one would be very curious as to just what is going on here. Thanks.
Edit: referring to the camera may have a dead sensor as said above, I would have thought that it would have shown that way with recording too. Maybe not though...
Thanks guys I'll try to take it back as soon as I can
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
My HTC One has the exact same issue but it's on the very edge of the screen so much less offensive then where yours is.
It's a hot pixel on the camera sensor that only shows up when the ISO is cranked up. For DSLR's, software (at the factory or even on camera) is used to "map out" these hot pixels. Perhaps we have something similar on our phones that can be accessed.. have you tried a hard reset?
Blue dot
Yeah I recently purchased mine but unlocked and I have the same problem, seems to happen when it is on high ISO. I was reading into the hot pixel thing which happens in other cameras, but they say they go away but can persist. I am debating to wait or exchange it, but these phones are back-ordered :/
Considering that your hot pixel is near the center of the screen, I would consider exchanging it (if possible). While it's true that they can sometimes go away on their own, my experience (with DSLR's at least) has led me to not rely on this happening (I have a few hot pixels on my DSLR that have appeared and NOT gone away in the last few years).
I have a similar problem I have a little green dot on the corner of my screen

I`am super happy with the One running ARHD 12.1 and stock kernel. Ruuning smoothly and fast, good batterylife and great radio reception. Maybe you have a somehow faulty device.
I think he's just trying to stir up trouble, as it would be extremely unlikely for all of these things to happen, no way would his battery be draining that badly, and he keeps mentioning the S4, so just leave him to it

2- in my findings phone A is not more likely to scratch then phone B. Its all based on time, use, situation and pressure. If your Optimus was in the situation the One was in then it would have scratched as well.
3- this is a network issue. Me and a friend with an iPhone were in a low signal room. She has AT&T I have T-Mobile. I started receiving double texts from a friend she didn't. A few minutes later she started receiving them as well from different people. Its a network issue plain and simple. Likewise with your second post I would get a new SIM it sounds like it may be detective.
4- if its really broken (only use the official HTC charger and cord to test) contact seller/HTC for a replacement.
1- being an all metal device the One has higher standards then a plastic device. The 'defects' the One has such as gap are still well below the tolerances used for plastic devices. Even with all that the build quality is still leaps and bounds better than 99% of android devices. I think your feeling is based on your other perceived issues.

First off all
I always had a good signal never problems somehow now he even doesnot wanna connect I putted my SIM card I'm my other phone and it worked so that's number one.
About my usage I'm really secure and look after how I'm using them my optimus black has fallen 3 times really bad but not scratshes with no gorrila glass so thats just weird for me.
About charging I always use the one of htc.
And my battery life is no 4 hours my bad sorry it's 8 but it's still lower than first (ididnot upgrade to 4.2.2)
And first I could minimum 14 hours
At least Idunno if the black one is better build maybe I could change it to that version.
And just about HTC one people Iknow face problems to it's just I don't wanna buy a phone For 550 euros what has this problems it's just not acceptable that's my opinion because idont wanna send my phone back to a service center and wait 3 weeks or a month For a new one or fixed .
