small black dot on GNex screen? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I woke up this morning and noticed what seems to be a dead or stuck pixel on my screen.
It's on the left side of the screen (center).
What do?

you can try one of the dead pixel remover apps on google play. if they dont work then you might be able to get a replacement via warranty

Pics?

I know cameras seem antiquated with all this technology these days but its still the only way to take a picture.

EDIT: You can do it the hard way. Open Camera app, select front camera, hold up to mirror, take picture.

I was just busting your balls, no offence. Try placing the phone on a white background with the brightness set low (on the phone) and use manual focus and manual exposure settings.

So Page Buddy works with custom launchers like Nova? I thought Page Buddy was part of the Touch Wiz launcher.
As long as touch wiz frame work is there it works. I am not sure custom roms would work. I tried it and played w the s pen before I replied to the previous question.

Doesn't the Galaxy S III use the exact same sensor as the GN2? Should be able to look at plenty examples from that.

Took this earlier today in a dark room. Mind you, the sheet that it was resting on is actually a dark blue... my GS2 was better at color representation w/ flash.

Multiview files found in verizon stock image!

There is a system image for the verizon galaxy note 2 that has been posted and is available for download. Users that have downloaded the system image have reported finding multiview files inside the package. Maybe when our stock image is released and available for download we will have the multiview files as well. This could be a good thing for the developers.
The article is on droid-life.com and is titled
"Software image for verizons samsung galaxy note 2 available for download"
Check it out!

Nice. So the VZW Note 2 has an image out for an unreleased phone, while we wait with phones being sold.

I've heard AT&T, Sprint & Verizon are working on multiview so is T-Mobile also working on it?
What about the screen recorder function?
Excellent news. To me this means that if Verizon's GN2s have it then maybe the official OTA is around the corner?

Ok well while I was drawing there is a small red "record" button at the top and wheb I finished drawing I pressed it again and it saved to clipboard....then when I went back into snote there was a file that looked like any other snite file...ckicked it and it replayed the whole act of drawing all the scribbles like I drew.
Is that what screen record is?
However I donot have multiview thats for sure

HDR in 4.2?

Anyone notice the absence of HDR in the camera from the new OTA update?
What's up with that?

That's a Nexus 4 feature not a 4.2 feature

True that
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
thats crap......HDR is 100% software. I have faith in the devs to bring it to custom ROM's.
I wouldn't really use it...its not new technology any more. but it would still be nice to have.
Would be awesome to have single shot HDR capability

I hear people says that a file called libmmcamera_hdr_lib.so is needed is order to enable the HDR feature.
I wish I could help, but I've got a nexus 4 now and the option is right there.

Yeah, adding the lib won't enable hdr tho.
Lucky guy, but Nexus 4 is not my kind, so I will not buy that phone only for a single exclusive feature.

Won't happen.
You need at least 3 shots to make a HDR image and they usually look like a vomit of colours.
The more shots of different exposures the better of course.
Guys, I hear a person in Android Central saying that we can decompile the GalleryGoogle.apk, find res/values/strings.xml and change
<string name="pref_camera_hdr_default">@string/setting_off_value</string> to
<string name="pref_camera_hdr_default">@string/setting_on_value</string> to enable the HDR, I try it, but I can not recompile it back so I can't see if this works.

Why it I'd so hard to just simply enable a function in an app. I know my hardware is OK.

I just bought this phone and I was wondering the same thing, it shouldn't be that difficult. There are third party apps that already do this in every phone so it must be a software thing. I have no idea of developing so this is just my opinion based on common sense and complete ignorance of the matter.

Photosphere not working

Is anyone else having problems with photosphere not working? It won't get past the calibration part.

Seems to be on the same angle as the OP's
According to the sticker on the box, mine was manufactured China 2013.07
Same problem for me too. Completely stock.
Tried it today:
No probs on mine . . .
Batch 2013-08 China, bought in Germany
Just wondering, particularly if photo sphere isn't working on your nexus 7 2013, if you install AccelermoterTest does the ball move to the bottom left corner - even when the device is on flat ground? Mine does... maybe hardware fault?

Will the 5x take burst photos?

It says the 5x doesn't have 'Smart burst' but will it still take photos in burst?
I haven't seen anyone else mention this at all but in seems like an obvious question!
I would assume yes,but it would be nice to know for sure!
Probably not with the stock camera app.
