Anyone else get a phone with dead pixel(s)? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA!
My Nexus 4 arrived, but it came with a fairly noticeable dead pixel in the center.
I got it RMA'd, but I'm just wondering if this is a widespread issue. Has anyone else gotten dead pixels on theirs too?

Lol yes. The software keeps track of each individual pixels working status and if ones dead it will not show in output. Just like if you have your laptop plugged into a projector and smash the screen in the projector will display the same damage.

RMA it if you can't stand it. Looks like you got a bad one. No issues here on dead pixels.

I had a dead pixel in mine that I got yesterday so I took it back today and they gave me a new one on the spot no hassles

oh and just so you know here in NZ stock is low but you can still get them easily enough. It's officially stocked by one of our carriers (not modified). The shop I got mine from had 5 in stock.

My 16gb Nexus 4 was all ok until a vertical line of dead pixels appeared few days back. It is only visible on White/Blue background...looks like the pixels are unable to generate Blue.
Will get it RMA'd.

Some how crack my screen with out cracking glass?

Hey guys so my 2 year old loves this tablet and uses it more than me. But to learn sign language and of course angry birds
Can I fix it is my question?
It looks fine no cracks in screen at all look at the photo showing the damage under the glass. I think his little foot put just enough pressure on it to break it..

That looks gnarly Dinc
Best bet, look on e-bay or maybe somebody has parted theirs out. You can change it, but maybe it's time to upgrade?

That sucks. You could always get a new one.
Next time don't let a 2 y/o play with such a delicate "toy".

There is a link for part numbers. It was under something like "making the 500 a 501" or something like that. I really can't remember. But I managed to do searches and find it awhile back.
Somebody played with the idea of making an a500 into an a501.
But you'll have to search. It's there.
As far as a web site with acer parts, I know of none.

[Q] Nexus 4 dreams.

Any one else had a Nexus 4 dream yet?
I was in a hotel room in my dream with the Nexus 4 charging on the nightstand. I woke up and the battery had expanded so large inside that the back glass was shattered in half. The phone was bulging and hot. Luckily I woke up to find my phone OK, but it was under the pillow next to me. Screen on. And very warm. Was the NFC calling out to me to unplug it???

Maybe it was the ghost of the missing LTE antennas?
Have you had any other telephonic paranormal experiences?

Over the next few months your going to gather more, why so worried? Just enjoy the damn device. I'm loving mine.

Unless you put it in a case. But I'd say if you have that big of a problem with it, take it to the store and exchange it.

Worried because I thought I may have bought one that was returned or the factory workers played football with it
If it's the norm, I don't care

Nexus 7 LTE is appeared, some online store send a LTE version wrongly to a customer

It is very interesting.
According to a Chinese forum, one customer supposed to received a 32GB WIFI version,
But when he received it, he is shocked by seeing a signal icon on the back of the out case.

}
And he is confirmed, it is a cellular version,
According to his description, he bought it from taobao (which is equal to ebay in the US), and the seller said the device is bought from the US, so
maybe some stores like bestbuy, staples or amazon wrongly sent a LTE version. That means the LTE version maybe is already in their warehouse, what they wait is Google's permission to release it.
This remind me that, on July 26th, when I went to Bestbuy to in-store pickup the New Nexus 7 16GB WIFI, they gave me a 32GB version, but I told them the truth....:good:
If you found it is interesting please thanks me......

Referrer check, the xda apps might not send correct referrers to sites.
Wonder what the initial rom was on it.

Best Buy has a test to check your touchscreen!!

Download the Geeksquad app. I watched him run the test in front of me.
It showed a horizontal dead spot one the upper portion of my screen.
I hate to say this guys, but the employees were aware of the problem and told me that they believe it is a hardware problem.
Don't shoot the messenger - It's what I was told.
They took it back outside of the 15 day return window and issued me a full store credit.
I'll wait and see how people like the new LG G Pad.
Good luck!!
Is this the app being referenced?

For those in other countries, here is the apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ufx4z87z5l2ecq8/com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one-1.apk
Thanks for the apk. I just ran the test and all it let's me do is test 5 areas of the screen and multi touch in top third. Am I missing something because I don't see a full screen test.
Same here.

Sorry guys, been at work.
Turn the tablet horizontal and try to drag the screen all the way to the right upwards.....Mine did nothing...
The manager even came and checked it out.....then gave me the nod - YES!!!
I have just completed the touch screen fix and it worked! I also could not complete the Greek squad test holding it horizontally. I had ghost touches, dragging issues and now my touch screen works flawlessly.

Maybe it is software..... I have no idea, just the opinion of Best Buy employees.
I hope they fix it, I'll still never buy anything from Google or ASUS - terrible service.
They ran from the problem.
If you don't have any daily issues I recommend to not try this app, I don't have any issues overall with my n7 and don't want them either.
Don't look for the issues

Totally agree. I haven't noticed any issues with my N7 and don't want to, haha.
I'm not sure what I'm missing but the app doesn't do anything different when being held horizontally....
