Aiming for that 3500mAh, thinking that I could get a monster battery life out of it, and.... I am being stupid by getting the phone on eBay.
Well, let's say that the screen is fine when the brightness is above 80%. However as soon as the brightness is lower than that, the upper right hand corner of the screen with a radius of 3cm, and partially the whole right side of the screen appears to be blueish. Closer look reveals that the blue pixels are brighter than the rest.
Questions: any solution to that? I found the app "Filter Your Screen" may be helpful, but I only want that part of the screen to be filtered.
I recognize the noisy "filter" of the OLED display, so don't start that on me, I am only looking for a solution or "fix" for that blueish color.
Keep the brightness at 80%?

At the expense of the battery life? It's like taking the material from the east side of your house then fix the west side of the house.

I keep my brightness maxed 90% of the time and I would consider myself a power user. Flex battery life is phenomenal. One of the reasons is because of the screen.

It's long lasting, but I reckon if the brightness can be lower without compromising the battery life AND without the discoloring, that would be better.
I have a Droid Maxx on my way, should be here tomorrow. I shall donate the device to a dev or sell it at a super low price to help the G Flex community.
That's way cool. You could try one if the dead pixel repairs apps though. Maybe they'll shock it into working right

I am trying that software right now. Wow that is making me trippin'
Due to the nature of the new flexible screen tech used in the G Flex, there is always going to be some discoloration, graininess, and image persistence. Think back to the first AMOLED screens in the original Galaxy S. Its the price we pay for walking around with a mass produced engineering concept.

It didn't really work. I was talking to the seller and he agreed to refund 70 bucks to settle the screen problem. Oh well.

Try a screen trainer (or whatever they're called) to see if it's stuck pixels before you return it. But yeah, I totally understand. I can't stand them once I've spotted them; it looks like you got a few of them too.

This isn't going in a dark room and turning up the brightness to look for light bleed; dead pixels really are an annoyance, especially when you've got four or five.
Dead pixels drive me crazy... I've always been anal about my screens. I would still try a screen fix app though before I would exchange.

I've counted five problem pixels on mine. You can only notice it on a black screen. They have a very tiny whiteness to them. I think I can live with it though.
I too have a few bright pixels. I also of a dark spot under the glass between the screen... guess I will be exchanging mine as well

What can be seen cannot be unseen
I had mine delivered about 2 hours ago and right up until now I haven't noticed anything.
After seeing this thread I thought I'd check and whilst I only have one stuck pixel (white colour) and it's not in a particularly noticeable location, it's all I can see!
I guess I'll RMA it and I'm glad I can wait until the new one gets to me before sending this one away. Especially after the 3 week wait for it.
I was nervous this would happen with mine but my screen is pretty much fine. Had a little bit of the screen lift but I loosened all the screws and then tightened them and now it seems fine.

Mine's worse.
I have at least 40, and some of them are really bad. My first one had a defective battery. Quality control, what's that?
you've had 40 Nexus 7s?!
Have any of you gone to a different model of phone then come back to the D3 and realized the screen colors on this Pentile display just suck? It really jumped out to me when using the Handcent Emoji Plugin and when viewing from an angle. Here's a side-by-side comparison with my DX. Both photos were taken with the phones at max brightness with no screen protector on either. D3 has consistent color when viewing from an angle whereas the DX doesn't, but the DX's LCD does have a hairline crack underneath and used to have a flickering dot whenever touched. It's since gone away, but the screen has been damaged from pressure.
DX on left and D3 on right.

In the second picture, the one on the left seems to have weird wavy lines in the white section, and honestly, neither one of their colors look too hot at that angle anyway. Yes, the Pentile is somewhat less vibrant than a Super AMOLED screen, but it's not that big a deal to me; I'm not color-sensitive designing digital art or using Photoshop on the thing, just surfing and texting, with a little gaming. The biggest factor for me is that the Droid X doesn't have a keyboard, which means it's not even in the cards for me. A close second is that, since I live in Hawaii, good visibility in bright sunlight (all year around lol) is fairly inportant.

Turn off all the lights in your house make it as dark as possible. Then ring your phone and look for the flash when it lights up. If it doesn't work go to another room and try again. This is always my last resort strategy before messing up the house looking for it. It's normally in my pants or shirt pocket.

Here's a new scenario. How much battery did it have when you lost it x hours ago? May be dead and that means you'll have to find it the old fashioned way.

Interesting touch, and very smart actually given how many people had their backs crack just from temperature variations on whatever surface they put their Nexus 4 down on. Hopefully that lifts the glass off any surface a bit. Flip side is that looks like it'd be a fitment problem for most cases on the market already.
It's not to cool down the glass, is to keep free the sound from the speaker that was getting blocked when you had the device on a flat surface.

They probably have a whole variety of reasons. IMO raising the speaker off flat surfaces would be a perfectly good reason because it's completely muffled when you put the phone down on its back. They wouldn't change the hardware just for that, but it'd certainly help.

Torx screw you mean.
And going back on topic, if the phone is flat on the table the gap could increase air flow for better cooling and increase the volume too.
Its REV 11, Production date 02/2013 made in Korea. i'm in the US and It still fits perfectly fine in the LG Bumper. The photo is little confusing it was taken with my original N4 with a macro lens. the hole is the torx screw on the bottom.
Awesome! I ordered an RMA last night, should be receiving it sometime this week.
My Nexus 4 died on me Sunday night. Red light of death
Watch as dozens of people cry about their phones not having this, and then come up with excuses why they need to rma their device.
So I just noticed with my phone on a flat table...my phone is warped, like two diagonal corners touch the table and the opposite diagonal corners are raised. I tried it on multiple level tables and even looking at it by my eyeballs without the case on it looks warped like a piece of hot metal!
I don't know how or when it happened...the screen isn't cracked or anything, nothing looks or acts strange even.
Check you phone...is it warped?
Are you sure it's not the camera?
