Guys. When I use a pure dark picture in a dark room. There's numerous dark dot that seem to be non working. I'd say around a total of 40 on top and 40 spread around the screen. Should I get the replacement, or is there a possibility it could get even worse? Could find a way to take pics of it. Will update if I could

I have the same issue. However, it is more on the order of 8-10.

Got it off this dude on kijiji. Traded my lumia 800 for it. Guess I'll see if telus all fix it for me. They fix. They don't replace right?
PS and my phone with a black pic in a 100% dark room is not black at all. Still partially grayish with all the black dots super visible.

Install dead pixel detect and check the black color. If you see these dots there then replace it. Mine looks like its completely off on the black color.
DOnt freak out ...try few things

It doesn't effect the screen and how often do you honestly look at black on black in a dark room?

I have the same problem. More than 40 for me. It's noticeable when watching Netflix in a dark room. I won't lie that it is driving me nuts. Deep black pixel groups on a not-completely-black screen.
I've had this on my Galaxy S2 and I also do get it on my Galaxy Nexus. I always thought it's due to the way the LCD particle is laminated into the digitizer.
I won't lie, it bugs me, but i am certain that if i take it back (it's the 3rd time i return my phone for screen replacement, had all sort of yellow tints) they won't be able to see it, and i'll just be stuck with no phone for a week, and nothing will be achieved in the long run.

telus wont exchange or repair the phone for you if you bought it from kijiji. you are going to have to send it back to samsung for repairs but maybe telus will send it out for you. keep us updated if you end up sending it to samsung.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I am still really tempted to switch. I just have to wait like one more week to see what this S3 buzz is all about then I have to sit and wait for those bugs to arise. Either way I dont think you can go wrong with either the Nexus, Evo 4G LTE, or S3. I just want a strong radio and decent battery life. Any of these phones including the E4GT has enough processing power to accommodate my needs. I dont understand why people are so spec happy when they arent even going to be using the phone to its fullest potential most likely. Just wastes battery IMO

I have had three over the air updates since I took my Nexus out of the box. I am finding out that there is a better OTA for people that live in LTE areas. Like LG8 or LG9?
Is this true? How can I update my phone now? I don't won't to root I just want apply the factory update like via zip file or something.
My phone keeps picking 3G over 4G. For instance when I go upstairs its 4G but when I go downstairs its 3G. This is so frustrating because I know the 4G signal is still good enough to stay on.
Does anyone know of a way to force LTE only on the Nexus or how to get the MLS Code without rooting? I might be able to adjust it from the inner settings.
Guys I really need some help here because this LTE experience I am having really blows.

You are confusing the L710VPLG8 update that Sprint is rolling out for the Galaxy S 3, a completely different device, with whatever the latest update is for the Galaxy Nexus. (I am no expert on the Gnex, but I was the one who advised you about that firmware version over in the Sprint GS3 General Forum. You posted your question in the wrong forum since it turns out that you actually have a Galaxy Nexus.)
Where the f is your brain... its not even even the same model number. The gnex is the SPH-L700 not 710.... and the latest update is FG01.
Sent From My Toro+ via RED Tapatalk
I wasn't asking for that exact rom I was meaning where is my equivalent fix because the FG01 is a piece of s***.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it jack a**.
I can be in the same house and get full 4G bars and full 3G bars and I can see the phone fighting to figure out which one and guess what it chooses f-ing 3G.
There must be a sophisticated fix to this.

I've had both since an s3.The nexus 4 great phone ,real sleek and feels good in the hand and very fast, but I feel like the camera for some reason is not as good as the s3, and when I played youtube videos on HQ, it really didn't. It really didn't look so clear. Then i got the note 2 and was amazed great phone fast! The multi window feature and the S-pen features is good too, but just little to big for me. Well back to the s3, just great phone to me! Now I'm not here putting either phones down because they were both great phones but my opinion the s3 just right for me.

I was a true flash addict. Hell I could barely enjoy my phone as a phone since I was always flashing.
I was on CM10 for a while and flashing a nightly every night and searching for mods was a daily fix for me.
Ive since went Frosty JB and I love it. Of course I still do small mods. Got wind of the Moto Droid M launcher with its flipping circle clock widget and I love it.

I was on CM10 for a while and flashing a nightly every night and searching for mods was a daily fix for me.
Ive since went Frosty JB and I love it. Of course I still do small mods. Got wind of the Moto Droid M launcher with its flipping circle clock widget and I love it.

Waste of time and money if you ask me. The Note 2 is just a bigger version on the S3 with a pen and the N4 is a step down from the S3 if you are used to having a bunch of your music and pictures on your phone, especially for off line use in bad data areas, while in other countries, and on flights. 12GB or 5GB of usable storage and a nonremovable battery just doesn't cut it for many of us who use our phones all day long for everything. If you are a hardcore developer and don't need the storage space and don't need to stash extra batteries around by all means jump to the N4.

Bingo. I wouldn't even consider switching fir exactly these reasons. Same with some of the HTC One's. I looked at them before buying my GS3 but it had those same issues and really made my decision easy.

So ... I pulled a stupid today. I had downloaded a rom for the wrong phone. So then I download the rom for the correct phone. When in recovery I accidently clicked the wrong rom and full blown bricked the crap out of my phone. Phone is completely non responsive do you think Sprint will give me a had time when going to replace it ... can they tell its been flashed if it wont power on?

If you can't get into Download or Recovery like the guy above me said go to a Sprint store and play dumb. I've seen a couple of these threads and that's always the solution. I ALMOST flashed a wrong ROM once and I've been scared ever since. I check the file about 10 times before I flash it. Haha. I hope they will replace it.
Honestly should have known better and deleted the file before ever booting into recovery ... nope no download or recovery. Ill be taking it in tomorrow most likely.

I really do appreciate all the responses XDA has the best users on Android Central all they did is lecture me about throwing around the word bricked. They actually only linked me to another thread about how people shouldn't throw around the word bricked because it gives the rooting community a bad name and makes people concerned about rooting. Unfortunately they weren't aware that I know what I'm talking about and that it's not just soft bricked. Also I've never had to go through anything like this and wasn't sure how Sprint would handle it so I really do appreciate everyone's responses and not just giving me crap.

I just took my phone into Sprint ... they are replacing it at no cost. I just told them it would turn on ... they couldnt get the phone to do anything. The tech said he hadn't seen one like this before ... the charge light wouldn't even come on when plugged into the wall ... lol.

I figured they would just replace it being that the phone was non responsive so no way to confirm root ... like they would even check.

I wouldn't go as far to say that, The Policy, the Black and white of it is this. Sprints Technical Support Policy for techs working on Rooted/Altered software devices can still be services and the tech must attempt to resolve issue by re-flashing back to OEM specs with OEM flashing tools installed on the triage laptops that they have. Once it is determine that the device cannot be flashed for what ever the reason may be ( Will not cover water/physical damage) they will and again "will" make the attempt to resolve the issue....Hence even if the resolution is to replace the phone which is called "DHRP".Device Handset Replacement Program. I would be careful not to use these terms with them as it will surely make you look like your doing fraud, if that happens-Cancel your acct, They will flag that acct so fast in red bold notes that no one will help you.

Did you make sure to keep the battery out while you did this?
Its important to NOT place the battery back into the phone when attempting to go to download mode...
Also install kies as it will install the drivers when you connect it to the pc

Not that I care about you personal rants, I am somewhat curious as to how you would think (wrongly) about this infornation being fraud?
For one, it is the policy that they follow for these exact cases.
Two, the person attempted to root their device, if they pay insurance then ther are covered under sprints terms for instore repair.
I would like to also remind you about car insurance, lets say for example that a person was at fault for crashing there own car, filed a claim with full coverage on the vehicle. By your statement, this is fraud?
Its the internet and sometimes you forget this, but what you would jot say to a person to there face dont say it at all. But hey thats your problem and hence why I dont contribute free information. May you find peace within in you.

Yes! Finally someone with the same issue. I recorded my n5x while taking a video using my n5 and I'm going to see if I can upload it.
You'll be surprised at what the flash looks like. The first initial flash is fine but the second one is at like 1/4 the brightness and doesn't seem timed right. I called Google and they said to factory reset the phone and if it still occurs they'll send me a new one.
Like I really have time to backup everything and reset and send out the phone and get another.
As far as I'm concerned it's a problem with the software. I'm 100% on stock, not rooted and nothing helps. It does randomly work maybe 20% of the time. And it has nothing to do with rebooting.
I can't upload a video but I did attach a similar pic i took using the flash.

I'm just wondering if this is a fault that's developed after one of the marshmallow updates or one that's been there since I got the phone.
Unfortunately I don't think I've used the flash untill now.
Just glad I'm not the only one with the issue.
Unfortunately I did not purchase my phone from the playstore but brand new and unopened from eBay for £205
I have registered with LG for manufacturers warranty. I will ask them if it's a software or hardware fault

Unfortunately, the camera flash still didn't work immediately and up until now after the factory reset.
I fell asleep for a little bit and just woke up and tried again, and it works.
Exact behavior as prior to the reset.
A little off topic but I also did the reset to see if my Bluetooth connectivity issue gets resolved. The headset just stops receiving any stream of music while about 5 second in. And then randomly works.
This problem also continued afterwards. Very disappointing night but now I know it's time to use the warranty and call Google again.
Oh well. Just wanted to kick start this to try to help. Hoping to see if anyone else finds a solution.

Thanks mate for testing it out. The flash on mines is becoming intermittent. Does fail a lot more than it works though.
Seems to be more likely to work on a full charge but as battery depletes the flash begins to fail.
Other issues I have are laggy scrolling, terrible lag especially on the keyboard whilst charging the phone.
None of these issues I experienced with my Nexus 5.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I haven't thought of checking where the battery percentage is. Good idea.
But yeah those other problems are really annoying. Looks like it's only you and me on this thread so it must be a glitch in our phones.
Also it has the camera problem way more often than not.

I just took some pics at 83% battery and the flash worked.
I'll keep taking them as the battery drains and see if there's a point where the flash gets dim.
Try this on your end as well.
