Would you return your Nexus for one dead pixel?

Just curious.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Yes for me.
Envoyé depuis ma Nexus 7.

yes. Google's RMA is fast and painless.

Yes I would.

Themes and apps isn't really the right section for this.
It would depend where the pixel is for me.

just noticed I posted in wrong forum. I was using the Tapatalk app and forot which section I was in

If I just bought it, yes. If I've owned it for several months and a single pixel went out I probably would not exchange it for the lottery reburb I would get (assuming they would even warranty it...I don't know what their pixel policy is).

I did, what sucks is that it was clear until I did the update about an hour after turning it on, rebooted...and there it was, laughing in my face. Got my replacement and the only issue I have now is very slightly raised screen, no problem though, I see there are fixes for that if I really feel like it.

Yep, specially because you just bought it, btw, there is a few free apps to cure dead pixels.
After 1 year in my hd2 I got one, the app cure it, but it was coming back every month or so and the I had to cure it again.

I find myself in the same situation.
I ordered online from Futureshop.ca (Canada)
I am about 6 days out of the 14 day exchange policy as I went on vacation and am just now getting to play with the tablet.
I have 1 dead pixel, now that I know it's there it is buging me, I also have screen flicker with low wifi issue, no lifting though.
Called Google, told me to call Asus.
Called Asus and got an RMA but I have to pay for shipping to Asus, I am worried I will get back a tablet with screen lifting!
Going to take my changes and send it in I guess.

No. I have one white pixel but you only notice it if you are actively search for it and only on a complete black screen. Doesn't bother me at all.

I thought I have just one dead pixel, but I found others, on different colors.
I am not able to return my Nexus 7, but I would do it if I could.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yep. Why anyone wouldn't is beyond me. Not doing so is basically encouraging less QC to be needed (if your bugging ASUS about RMA's they'll probably learn to make their devices better; whereas not bothering ASUS about issues will probably allow them to lack more and more on QC).

Is the 8gb model faster?

So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.
Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

I think that you might be feeling the placebo effect.

I know if there was a difference it could not be major but maybe storage is a different make or something. I want to find out what is the best test that could determine this.

You keep ordering replacements to keep them?? What are you doing with all that nexus 4? You only have 4 pockets

And people wonder why they are still waiting. I'm no stick up the @$$ but 8 come on dude I can see 1 or 2 but its obvious you are just buying them to jack up the price at the expense of others who need their device or really need an RMA.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

It sounds like you're suggesting the nand chip is faster in the 8gb. We would need people to do file storage benchmark to confirm your claim.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I had a play with both model, and to me they felt the same...

The only way I can describe it is on the 16 once in a while it will lag for a second or two but on the 8gb I never get it.

wow
You found a way to screw a system that was meant to help people, for your own gain. That's what makes you the d-bag.
Anyways, not certain of any correlation. As another guy said, it may just be the placebo effect.

Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.
Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.
Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.

No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.
My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.
Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

and the douche-baggery continues!!!!!! although now i'm thinking its more cheapness than douche-baggery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trying to cash in at the expense of others...
& to the question of 8 vs 16 gig performance... figure that out yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're not worth the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.
All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

Moto x or Note 2 for upgrade

Hi Note 2 users. My upgrade is coming in about 3 months. What would you think would be a better upgrade for the next 2 years, moto x or note 2. I currently have the nexus s 4g so I am on sprint for fyi. I like the s-pen and the size of the note but I like some of the features of the moto x. Please help me decide. Thank you.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Well I guess it depends if you want a bigger screen, a bigger processor, a bigger battery, upgradeable memory and an s pen?
If you do then it's the note 2 looks a bit of a no brainer to me?

Note 3

How long does the note 2 battery usually last for? And I can't afford the note 3.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

5-6 hours screen on time with 90-120 mins voice call on mixture of 2G + 3G + Wifi Connectivity. No other smart phone with so many features can beat that.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I get about 2-3 hours of screen on time (due to signal strength), with a good amount of calls and always syncing data. Battery life on the Note 2 is still going to be better though.
The Moto X is newer, and although it's dual core processing, it's got a very good processor so I'd say it's more or less the same as the note 2 in processing power. But take that with a grain of salt as I haven't had the chance to play with the Moto X. The S-Pen is very useful. The Moto X for me is too small. But the ergonomics look great! Samsung has been updating their older phones for a while (even though slowly) so that's a point in their favor. Who knows how long Motorola will update the X, probably a while since they're market is the USA and raving about how great it is and how it's made there.
I can go on and on... but ... In the end, it's up to you! Which do you like more? I love my Note 2, and I'll upgrade to either the Note 3 or the Z1. I can't consider the Moto X due to the screen size. But they're both VERY capable phones and very good phones!

With all I have heard so far. I think I'm sold on the note 2. It has great battery and I like the size more than the moto x even though my phone right now is only 4inches.

I get a day of heavy use. My old phones, evo3d and hd2, would last about 4 hours with the same usage.
Price dependant I don't think you can beat the note 2. Once you've bought it post back with your thoughts

i just fixed the problem today. But still, my note 2 lasts an entire day with at least3:30 hours of screen on time on hdspa+ all day.

Found a COOL option on developer settings.

Do you prefer warmer or cooler screen?

I always keep this option on.

It's been available for while.

I've only had it for 2 months so I must have scrolled past it this whole time. . .
Good stuff.

Warm all the way. The IPS screen on the 5x is calibrated to a near perfect 6500k.
It's nice to have the option though, especially for those who might have yellowed screens.

I'm waiting on the laser cutter update I heard about coming on 7.1.3. ;p
