So, I got my brand new Z3C from Newegg last night. Came out of the box on 23.4.A.0.546, seemed to be working fine. Only thing is, about 30 minutes ago the front camera started flashing purple lines and boxes. I've attached a few examples. Happens in pictures and video, happens in both the default camera app and Snapchat. Only on the front camera, rear camera is fine.

I guess all I'm looking for is confirmation that it's not something I can fix. Did some searches, can't find anyone else reporting a similar issue. Definitely seems like faulty hardware to me, but I'd really rather not go without a phone for the week or whatever it'll take them to ship me a replacement.
Thanks in advance. Really wish this had cropped up before I transferred my number over.
So, uh, minor update: it only happens on LTE.
I swear to god. It's the weirdest thing. Turn on LTE, camera starts glitching out. Switch back to WiFi, after a minute the camera is fine. So either it's some really weird one-off manufacturing defect, or a really weird one-off software glitch.

I just flashed a at&t Tilt with the original HTC ROM :
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship
I am seeing a wierd thin orange line (vertical) across the camera screen. This also shows in the pics. Has anyone faced this problem ?
Mine has had this problem for about 2 months now, I have a vertical orange and horizontal gray line messing my pics up.. I guess the only way to fix it is through warranty, tho atm I can't afford to lose my Kaiser for a month.
Funny thing is that the first time it happened, it went away after 2 days, and then came back on in a week, never to go away again
Several radios, roms etc tested, it's an internal problem, since it's not the lens either
i've the same problem... sometimes the lines go away, but I think I'll need to get it repaired....
Just so everyone knows what we're talking about:
(Sorry for breaking the forum structure)

I get the same issue, always 2 lines - one vertical, one horizontal. Soft reset sometimes fixes the problem, sometimes it doesn't. It comes and goes. Very strange!
I just got a replacement N7 since my first one stopped turning on or charging and this replacement one seems iffy. This little spot on the screen is always there, and is only not visible on black screens.
Any thoughts on what it is?
Attached is the best pic I could get of it...

Hi, lostchopstik...
Could be 'stuck' pixels....
I assume you've tried rotating the tab to see if it would move/go away?
Try installing one of the many SCREEN TEST apps from PlayStore.... you can scroll through various test screens.
If the 'artifact' refuses to disappear, and if it's something that's too much of an irritant to live with...
...get another replacement...
It's just not worth the hassle of being bugged by some screen defect... if that's ALL you're going to be looking for, EVERY time you turn on your tab.
Rgrds,
Ged.

There are two thereads for this already, one here in Q&A, another one in the general section (low light camera issues).
Summary of both: its a heat related hardware issue and the only known solutions is get your camera (and the shielding around) replaced. Mine had the same stripes, sending to a repair center solved the problem.
Ive started to use the s pen more and ive noticed the right side of the screen has a section which wo t detect my stylus pen. Its like anti pen, the pointer goes around that spot. Anyone else have this? Im running dark stalker + dpi adjusted.

Should i flash to stock and go to t mobile?
Go back to stock and test the s pen again. Make a backup of your ROM.
If it's the same in Stock, then you need to get the phone replaced.
I had the same issue when i got the phone. I had to have it returned for a brand new one due to this. Sometimes the screens pressure sense fails. On my replacement, there were points where i would pull out pen and try to screen shot and the screen would flash as if capturing a screenshot and then no options provided. I thought i was going to have to return another one but then the new update fixed the issue. I dont know why lol. But my second device seems to be working right now. Call tmo and tell them whats going on. If its within the 14 days, request a brand new one.
Overall I'm really impressed with the build quality, but I have one annoying issue. Somehow dust comes in through the back and now I have massive amounts of dust in front of my camera, and all pictures I take look horrible.
I checked with warranty, and I have to pay €8 to ship the phone, and then probably wait 2 weeks to get is back, so I am considering to clean it myself, it seems like a 10 minute job.
Has anyone here removed the back of their P7? Does the adhesive still work well when assembling the back again?
see 0:46 and 11:15

i do that change my self
and all works good
Hey, me too. No problems so far, all went fine. Good luck!
That wasn't hard indeed. 2 minutes with the hairdryer, some breadclips/tooth picks/guitar picks and you're in.
I did notice that there was barely any adhesive near the camera and the bottom of the back cover doesn't stick very well any more.
Is there some suitable glue to improve the cover fastening, that also melts when heated?
A friend told me that the clue which is used for car-windows has the same characteristics, but I didn't try actually.. So, I'm quite not sure if that works also.
