Hi all,
I just noticed a dark mark behind the phone right beside the NFC logo and it's quite obvious from certain angles.
I don't use the phone extensively - messaging, twitter, instagram, non graphic intensive games.
Anyone know what caused the mark? I suspect its the processor or graphic chip.
Do you think it's a valid reason to head down to the repair centre and is it covered under warranty?
Thanks.

Looks like you have a screen protector... maybe it's that?
There's a blue z1???
It's more obvious in the 2nd and 3rd photos.
It's a dark square right beside the nfc logo and it's quite difficult to show with a camera
I'm posting to see if I am the other one or if there's others like me too.
I have a white Z1 and I can't see anything below or around the nfc icon

I have a white one also and I can see a sort of "halo" around the NFC from certain angles with certain lights, but nothing worth saying!
EDIT: Now I see, looks like it's about 1"x1" darker spot on the left? Seems rather weird indeed, do you have a protector on this side? You can look at a disassembly video to see if it's close to a processor... Surely is weird!
I can see the square from your pictures and I can say this, back cover is in glass and there is not way that any chip or whatever can do such a thing. Only 2 things can be, 1- the paint of the back cover (which I suppose is not on the glass but is under), 2-Back Plastic protector. I will suggest to take off first the plastic back protector and check if the square still there.
Hi all,
Thanks for your help.
I removed the protector but the mark is still there, so it's on the phone itself.
I'm thinking if the mark got to do with the chip heating up the paint or back panel thus causing the dark mark?

This protector behind is in case you break the glass to not hurt you...and i think it's impossible to heat sufficiently to make a dark mark like that.

It's your Z1 come out from box with the back protector? Because far as I know they don't...and mine didn't have it.

The glass has a sticker protector, all Z1 have it in both side.
If you watch this YouTube clip. There is actually a square heatshield for a chip in that region behind the back cover. Maybe that would cause it. I don't know if my eyes tricked me but it looked like his back cover also had that square.

I have one of the original N4's when they were released, yellow screen and defective charger. I got an RMA N4 and it looks like they added little nubs to the bottom. Just an FYI

What hardware revision? Boot in bootloader mode and give us the infoz!
It's nothing major. But the back plate can somewhat be more easier to remove.
And which country?

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.

It is completely normal, it's part of the touchscreen digitizer. It's visible on almost all phones under strong light. I could see it on my S, Arc (S) and Neo too.

LOL!!! Indeed it's the touch censor, that's how capacitive screens works! Don't freak out, every Xperia has it!
Today, I saw this under the touchscreen. It looks like some dust or air bubbles, which are under the touch area, situated directly above the Tegra 3 CPU so can it have something to do with the heat, which come from the cpu? The phone is 1 month old (bought 21/3/2013). I'm sending the phone to reclamation (and want new piece), but I'm afraid that this can happen again.
Have anyone same problem?

i have the same issue, but only one bubble, and it was there the day i bought it. i was too lazy to wait for a replacer, so i just stuck with mine, since it's only visible if you're really looking for it.

I don't think they would have noticed if I had been a bit more careful. They use Philips head screws and no "VOID" stickers.
I actually kinda scratched the glass on the inside

Wow thats sucks guys, if any has or is gonna send it in with an unlocked bootloader i wonder if they will fix it. If any of these manufacturers would honor their warranties for non-software related issues with unlocked bootloaders id stick with them regardless.

So you removed everything what can obstruct the camera. Right? ... the lens are perfectly clean, no screen protector or something like that and you try again to do some pictures and they still bad?

the original back protector is removed but i think there is one thin layer which is attached originally by Sony to protect surface of back side of it and it is hardly removable
the place of the lens is cut in circle ,
what you think?
i will make more picture and inform you

On mine there is not any thin layer on the lens, just a round silver aluminum frame and glass, you should easily recognize a glass from any kind of plastic protector and probably there is not any, it can't be.
Anyway try testing, because the camera can't have any plastic protector on it to working properly.
If you do not find any solution go to the store and ask for a replacement via warranty.
EDIT: Ok, I finded what you said, is kind of shatter resistant screen protector but is not on the lens because they cut it out properely, so if there is not anything which obstruct the camera you definitely should go via warranty for a replacement.

Hello, did you managed to solve this issue? Did it start happening right away or did it happen after doing something specific? I hadn't noticed this until today and I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but today I tested the water proofness of the phone.
Have ordered 2 tempered screen protectors off eBay and both don't fit properly at all(people just capitalize on new products to make a quick buck). Can anyone link me to a screen protector that actually covers entire screen and doesn't mess up sound or functionality of phone, thanks
I read somewhere in the forums that this one covers the full area -> HERE
My still has not arrived, but I am optimistic about it.

I owned the one by local seller which linked above. I've never seen such a terrible screen protector ever. The black frames of the protector are wider than device's so it decreases the screen visibility in very tiny amount. It's material is horrible, decreases the screen visibility under the sunlight(Reflections). Although it's perfectly applied, 2 days later a rainbow lake is appeared on the bottom which really sucks. One last thing, there are little dots all around which makes TFT display effect or something, im using it just because i couldn't any other. This also sucks but better than the second protector below in attachment.

Hi again. I got the protector. I am attaching some pictures with it, and also some extra shots with the iMatch case for the Mix.
The protector fits perfectly compared to others I have, I am really satisfied. It is a bit strange, because it basically sticks only on the sides(the darker parts on the pics) and not the whole area like the other protectors, but it does not make any difference to me since there are no disatvantages from this for now. Another thing to mention is that it is a fingerprint magnet, which is a minus.
For the case - i am posting it in case anyone is interested in it also.
P.S. @Konsstantine34 have some point in his comments. I thing the main advantage of it is indeed that it is the most "fullscreen" I could find and that it sticks right on this curved screen. My previous one started to unstick on the edges just like Konsstantine's.
