Question about notification light area - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The google play store sent me another galaxy nexus. I have seen the phone in person at two verizon stores and i have seen the original nexus the google play store sent me. With this new one i have you can see where the notification light bulb is, the circle and bulb while it's turned off and not in use. All the other ones i have seen it is invisible and you can't see it at all. has anyone else seen a phone like this?
this is what the new one looks like

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.

I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.

another defect i suppose

I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I realize its different but if it works fine then is it really a "defect"?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!

BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

Can you attach the image? Does it look too yellow on the phone's screen or on a computer screen, or both?
mmm i see let chek
Looks normal to me on a calibrated monitor. Whites are white in the second image; in the first image, the White Balance just might be off a little. And it's out of focus.
to yellow the pics or not ?
i think my camera it's bad
anyone please
Youre not alone. I have the same yellowish tint on mine. Happens in low light/ indoors only

This probably is a software issue. Hope it gets fix in future updates

Yeah the zero shutter lag is pretty useless as it misses focus most of the time.

Sure its not the flash causing it? Most of my pictures look fine and I have beige carpet.

does the GN have white balance categories like cm7?
like auto, incandescent, daylight etc?
I agree with the person who posted earlier - is does seem to be something that only affects it indoors. It does come with different "scenes," but I haven't experimented with that yet.

lmao. dude. there seems to be a bit of yellow in your house. it called ambient light or reflections. everything seems to be normal. should definitely check the pictures on a better screen and not on the nexus to verify. people with blue ceilings, wal: and carpets can get a bluish effect or whatever is your situation.
Yeah, it's just an incorrect Auto White Balance. Just change the White Balance in settings. There's nothing faulty here.
User error.
Discuss.
I don't think its user error. My sgs2 doesnt have this yellow effect when set on auto.

I understand what she's trying to tell you, but, what does it mean when one shakes their first at something? I don't think I've seen that
Maybe it's because I've just woken up and it hasn't hit me yet... lol

Yep! It's just the stock phone, but I am strongly leaning towards Ghost Armour (gunmetal grey carbon fiber).

Hmm.. this makes me sad face too as I used to call my ex (Randa) panda.. memories
It's funny how popular the nickname Panda is. I never realized.
We all got new devices recently, wife has a tablet also so she has not been on my case lately but Im still using a SGS.
Take it from a guy married for several years. Set up a date night really soon and dont touch your phone the whole time. Big time points to be earned!
Was it you or her that put the phone screen side down?

Day one with my S3

I've never loved a device so much. I think...I think i'm in love. From the gorgeous screen, to the amazing NFC...to the fact that google just randomly gave me 10$...to the ease of use of the toolkit in the dev section, the simplicity of rooting...the BUTTER smooth interface...its just...its just...ITS JUST TOO MUCH!
cool story bro.

You need a pic with that comment.
did you have to add a prepaid card to get the $10 or just activating activating google wallet?
Yeah, I loved it when google gave me $10 free for google wallet. I got like 6 sodas from a paypass enabled vending machine after that lol.

i mean, i guess my point is...Out of all the android phones i've upgraded to, this one seems the farthest in terms of difference from one to the next. Its just so much better in so many little ways.

I'm coming from the Evo 3d. The S2 came out a little while after the 3d did so i was already stuck. I wasn't disappointed because i loved my 3vo. It was a great phone. Dual core and all. The screen on this new phone is just insane though. Watching 1080p movies and the way the colors just pop is unlike any mobile screen i've seen. I love the NFC too and how you can link nfc stickers to tasker profiles. i know you could do this with the s2 as well but its new to me. Theres just a bunch of little things ya know?

[Q] Color Control for Note 2?

Hi,
I would like to know if it will be possible to implement Color Control (as used in many Galaxy Nexus custom kernels) in custom kernel for Galaxy Note 2?
Here's a link (it worked wonders on my old Galaxy Nexus!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
My Note 2 has a heavy green/yellowish tinted screen. The problem is much more pronounced than on my old Galaxy S3, which actually was quite bad, too...
Otherwise I have to return my Galaxy Note 2
This is a comparison between my calibrated LCD and my Note 2:

I got my replacement today. Still the same problem (at leaster better build quality). I've compared mine to other Galaxy Note 2, every single device I have seen had the same issue. So I guess there are many GN2 with that issue out there.
This is a screen shot from my note 2. Is there something I'm not seeing? What's the problem?

Do you have power saving mode on? There is a screen setting in the power save menu that tints the browser. Also try to use the "dynamic" screen setting instead of natural or the others. That fixed my tint.

One thing you are not seeing is that a screenshot can never represent a displays color reproduction. As you are eliminating the actual display and only looking at the image as it was rendered in the software. All screenshots from all devices will appear the same, however photos of the actual rendered image on screen will show variations. Using a calibrated display as a reference is the only way to have a solid comparison, just like the OP did. If you want to contribute, do the same.

Anyone find the camera lacking sharpness compared to the s4 in low light or with flas

I love my s4 camera and thought moving to note 3 would give me the same experience but it's not. It seems in low light or at night when I use flash the pictures are not as sharp. On my s4 I can see good details when I zoom in like being able to read small texts or pattern on a fabric.

I dont have an s4 to compare to but I agree that the photos are not coming in that sharp... I wonder if we have defective devices? my note 2 takes better shots.

Just noticed it mentioned on some reviews. I think the problem is so minor to samsung that they won't bother doing anything about it.

It seems that most models are missing a night mode. I can't find it anywhere on the T-Mobile one, so I assume that it's missing on here too. That would likely help quite a bit.

Samsung removed the separate toggle for it on the note 3 and implemented it into the "auto stabilization". But that doesn't help my issue unfortunately.

Here's a sample. You can see that on the note 3 it can't pick up the surface details on the plastic bezel compared to the s4. This is a zoomed in portion of the actual image.
