I received mine in the mail yesterday and wanted to give my mini review.
I currently have or had:
G1
G2
G2x
Sensation
Hercules
The reason I mention this is because this phone is not much nicer then the G2, G2x or the sensation but this phone is still solid.
I paid the outright price and coming from these phones I just cant see the difference for me to spend $560. This is just based on the feature and feel of the phone vs what I already own. If you were coming from a old phone by all means this is slightly better then the rest I mentioned but not $560 better.
Pros:
No pentile
No screen door effect (spaced pixels)
No Yellow Tint
No over colored greens and oranges
Fast web browser alive, I mean WOW! Flash sites run very well
NFC
Decent processor
Fastest download speed from Tmobile device yet
Very light
Nice feel in hand
Cons:
Defective screen (I had the pixelated, washed out /brushed steel stripes) the artifacts stay in the same place and is noticeable when I pull down the notification bar.
DPI is way to HIGH for such a resolution - Not bad but should be a option
Stutters 10% of the time
Car audio does not have the Voodoo punch from stock, not sure about later development or if a compatible chip is in there.
This phone did not blow me away but will offer it to my girlfriend over the sensation for the only reason being the GPS is terrible int he sensation and we use the navigation a lot and wanted to smash the sensation many times.
This phone is very close to being sent back but even if keeping this is being exchanged for a different screen.
Does any that bought from Tmobile have a perfect/good screen? If so please post pics.

This seems to be a pretty common, but then again we typically only hear from people who have this issue. I'm planning on heading back to the T-mobile store and compare my unit to their display models. Hopefully there will be a difference and convince an exchange.

Do you think it's a qc issue? Or is it a hardware (LCD or another issue that they all will have?) flaw?

This is my first Super AMOLED device so I'm not sure what to expect. I came from MyTouch4G before this and an SE x10i before that, and both fo them had LCD's iirc.
My friend has a Sprint GS2 and I got to compare them side by side. I noticed it's much less apparent on the Sprint one (Had to get up really close and carefully stare at it) so you almost cant tell, and when the brightness is up to about 30% it's just gone completely.
I tried to show him the lines I was talking about but he couldn't see them at all, and ended up calling me insane. So it's also the eye of the beholder.. so to speak. I don't have much evidence to go on other than what I'm seeing, and am fairly convinced it's hardware issue. I remember the MT4G had 2 different batch of screens where the viewing angles and vibrance was substantially different. This might be the same case, though I would expect more from "Super AMOLED Plus".

Based on the pictures someone posted, I find it unnerving that it's only one the right side of the screen.
It's almost as though it's hardware related in the sense that it has something to do with whatever is right beneath that part of the screen. Could it be heat related? The CPU being there? etc.
I don't remember seeing this on European GS2 when I played with it.
This is why even if the prime wasn't coming, I'd be hesitant to pick up the GS2 as the screen itself is a new line of manufacturing....and I'd rather let the first adopters deal with the imperfections while they work the kinks out in their manufacturing process.
I'm on my second SGS2 in two days. The first one was bad. Very bad. Defective screen: grey stripes, washed out colors. Extreme stuttering. Ok. Recieved my second one 3 hours ago. Great screen. Practically no stuttering.... until the first hard reboot. Bam! As bad as the first one except the screen. Laggy, choppy. Impossible to enjoy. Wtf????

I've noticed stuttering with the screen animations on. Once I turned them off, no problems. I've got the grey stripes, as well. If I keep my brightness around 50%, more or less, I don't really notice them. Debating on whether an exchange is in order.

just to be fair
Launcher Pro hasn't been performing well since Nexus S came out, and all the newer devices that came after it, like the original SGS2.
many other launchers are working way better/faster than Launcher Pro now
in other words Launcher Pro is kinda old school now, it needs to adapt to the new devices
Go Launcher EX. Same thing. Jumpy/choppy/laggy.

Launcher pro runs like crap on every phone.
That launcher has and will be the worst launcher I've ever tried to date. My gs2 flies with the stock launcher and launcher 7. I haven't tried adw as I kinda like touch wiz.

I posted this in the other vertical lines thread, but I'll post it here as well:
dksxmks said:
I just came back from the T-mobile store and I'm happy to say that the exchanged device is much better in terms of the vertical lines. I'm fairly convinced that it's the nature of these AMOLED displays, only some seem to be worse than others. My old device was at ~40% brightness and it's still pretty clearly visible. Now with this new one, I can go down to ~20% without even noticing it unless I reeeeaaaally stare into it.
Make sure you test it beforehand though. I checked 2 of their display models and they both had that problem. I lucked out with the new one they handed me at random.

I really wish someone could post and show the lines you guys are seeing. I dont' see this on my screen at all. The little stuttering is very very little and I only see it slightly when pinch zooming on the homescreen. The HTC phones do the same exact thing. Nothing I would return over.

hello, my fellow pure-google lovers...
I got my Galaxy Nexus like 2 months ago, and I was in love with the phone, until I saw what the pictures show. tbh I'm very disapintted in phone quality I guess the screen is really delicate after all. I don't even know what to do, has anyone around here have heard of similar stories and how they went. some advice and sleeping peels may make me feel better.
best regards!
Look on the playstore for "screen test" app, or dead pixel detect...not always it's a matter of dead pixels, sometimes a pixel gets stuck, and can be fixed, anyways, there are several other apps, check them out and do the necessary tests, and hopefully u'll be able to sleep without sleeping PILLS*

Thanks for your quick reply I run many test and I can see the black pixel in pretty much all the colors except for black :S
There is an app called Pixel Fixer or something... have you given that a whirl?
-Sent via XDA Premium-
Yes
Yeah they are all the same, they show different colors on the screen I can see the dot with all of them except for black
Hey all,
I got a brand new Galaxy Nexus today, but after browsing the very white Play Store, I noticed a pixel that shows like the rainbow, a whole bunch of colors.
EDIT: I think it's a "hot spot"?
I'm thinking stuck pixel, but can anyone tell me more about it, I know there are existing threads, but I would appreciate refreshed opinions and information.
Just as well, is there anything I can do about it, other than send it in to Samsung and wait close to a month/ go to Verizon and get a CPO-POS replacement?
EDIT: As in, anyone have personal experience with RMA for their Galaxy Nexus?
that means you have dead pixel on your screen. if your within your 14 days I would recommend returning and swapping it with another brand new nexus. else get a certified handset from Verizon.

Dead, not stuck? Bleh, just my luck, happened to the last new electronic with a screen I bought too...is it normal?
I bought it NIB on eBay, I hear Google ships ya a replacement for free, but then isn't Samsung the one to go to? Wouldn't they want me to send it in and "repair" it for a week?

No it is stuck if lit. A dead pixel would be black and never able to emit light. There is some apps that will flash diff colors that may unstick it and sometimes even massaging it with a little pressure will get the out. Best bet is to get a replacment though...at least try a stuck pixel app first, free, fast and may work...

"massaging" it won't work as it has a glass digitizer over it. People only put pressure on it if it's a monitor or TV.
Thanks for the replies, guys. I had this with an HP laptop recently, but I wasn't sure it was a stuck pixel since it looks so weird-looks like someone stabbed that one particular spot with a pencil, only the spot looks like exactly one pixel, it has that same rainbow-y effect as water on the screen.
We're sure it's a stuck pixel?
And again, based on reading about other GalNexes, Samsung support likes to "repair" your phone while Google will ship out a new one ASAP.... Google Support sounds better to me, any reinforcement to that? Thanks again all!

I kind of want to bump this....
Can anyone confirm that it is a hot/stuck pixel, and not like impact damage?
It doesn't seem worth it to send it back and look for another one on eBay, but if it's damage....

I had a stuck pixel on my last Nexus that was just blue. Verizon swapped it out for another one. Your problem sounds a little different. If you have insurance I would see about getting a clnr from Verizon. I'm not sure if they will cover a phone purchased elsewhere but it's worth a shot at least to find out.

I'm exchanging it for another "new" one from the eBay seller, they've agreed to it but I;m not sure where this replacement Nexus is coming from.... Anyway, the more I look at it, the less it looks like a stuck pixel and the more it looks like impact damage, it's not like it's red, blue or green, it's like that rainbowy color you get when the screen is like...damaged, or there's lint on it, but it's not lint.
Just a background info: I have a young family member that needs phone and I have bought her at first a "cheap" Android phone from Virgin Mobile and that was a disaster (slow, froze all the time, etc.). I replaced that with a supposedly powerful phone - Virgin Mobile Motorola Triumph. That is another disaster, as the phone was launched half-baked. If you Google this phone, there are issues from the phone ringing only once to running out of storage because the phone keep generating large alogxx files.
Anyways, she is getting tired with these issues (and so am I!!) and I want to get her a pure Google phone - the Nexus. But before I jump in and buy this, is there any issues with this phone that I need to be aware of? Keep in mind the issues I mentioned above, which made the using an Android phone really painful for her.
Thanks!
Pure Google =No Issues. It's kind of understood around here, not that I expect everyone who posts here to know that.
I would venture to say it's as good as it gets, the Galaxy S III has better specs, but a few issues and hey, you can't beat Pure Google, we'll be first to Android 4.2, whatever it's called.

nah, just don't go anal on the screen.
AMOLED screens get burn in from images that don't change over long periods of time (nav bar), but that's... eh no big deal otherwise Samsung wouldn't use AMOLED, also found in S III BTW...
You'll see a lot of threads about weird charging behavior, that's this phone's main issue. Every phone has its issues and this one is rather menial, not like a power button that tends to break...
I haven't updated my profile for the new GalNex....

The screen is an issue look at the sticky on the top of the Q&A section.
After updating to JB, the sound is ridiculously low. Volume+ is the solution for ICS but not working on JB. That is the main issue of this phone.
Don't want to put you off but I have had issues with the hardware. The USB port is dodgy and known to fail, with lots of strange charging behavior as already mentioned in this thread. Also they are prone to dieing and you have to plug it into a USB port with no battery to revive it. Maybe I was unlucky with early versions, or have they still not fixed it?

Not us...people who want to get one, they should hold off. It cant be worse than the current one...that would suck. (not saying its a bad phone...just saying that they new one shouldn't be worse than the old one) :fingers-crossed:
Aside from the screen burn-ins and discoloration in low brightness, the phone is actually fantastic.
Even the relatively outdated 5MP camera is actually pretty good. Although it has less MP, the quality of the sensor is actually great.
Also, just give your daughter the pure Google experience. It's almost flawless in terms of software (IMO), so it'll be a welcome change from her previous two phones. Just treat her well with the G'nex before she gets iPoisoned and we lose another poor soul to the dark side:crying:

EXACTLY!! She has been eyeing the iPhone 5!
But honestly, she was getting tired with the Android "experience", especially with the last 2 phones. The Motorola Triumph was $299 and it was piece of crap! This gives Android a bad name. This 3rd phone, the Nexus, HAVE to be the right one... seeing it's Google who sells them, not Virgin Mobile or some other carrier.

Uh oh... not nit-picking here but its must be pretty bad that flashing a custom ROM is needed to increase the volume size... Hmmm.. I wish the Nexus is sold in a retail store so I can try it out! I believe Google charges 15% restocking fee for returning a phone?
One person complains about volume, no need to call off the bets.
I admit I have to turn it up more than my Thunderbolt, but it's always loud enough without closing in on the right side of the volume bar.

Hey there guys.
I picked my Verizion LG G3 a couple days ago. Overall I really like the phone. Love the camera, the design, screen size, ect.
There is however one thing that is driving me NUTS... The effing screen. The one main selling point of the phone seems to be its main downfall. Yes, the Quad HD resolution looks sharp sometimes. There is very aggressive screen sharpening going on with the display though. It is especially noticible in Black test with "off white" backgrounds. Its easy to notice in the Play Store looking at the text and then pulling down the notification shade slightly. That darkens the background a little and brings out the sharpening a whole lot.
I know this issue has been touched on before in other posts, but I've yet to find some particular information...
I've yet to see if anyone has noticed weather this is something affecting ALL G3 models... Because i have seen posts where people are claiming to not see this effect at all.. and then others that do. I'm curious if there is some correlation between the types of G3's that seem to be affected by this, or if it is just on all G3's and people that cant see it just have bad vision to begin with.
Also, has anyone been able to get any sort of response to LG about this yet? I've emailed them, live chatted, and phoned them with no luck. The live chat rep was the most useful and told me that he would try to get the information as far up the ladder as he could and would reach out to me when he hears back.
This is so frustrating to me. It's like buying a brand new Ferrari and having a big scratch on the door. The phone is so great, but this text sharpening is making me really dislike reading on the device, and just looking at the screen in general. I know others have already returned their devices because of this, but i'm really hoping LG would be able to come out with some sort of software update to be able to turn it off. Thats the shred of hope i'm holding on to at this point.
Does anyone have any further information about this yet?

PREACH! It only happens on some items. Its like things are compressed oddly. Anyone know if its software or a screen thing?
It has to be software. Just has to. But it's most noticible with black text on an "off white" background. The black letters have a white glow to them. Like I said above if you look at text in the play store and then start to pull down the notification shade slowly, you can really notice it then.

My play store looks atrocious!!!
For the more technologically sound people on here, what is it that's enabling the text sharpening? Is it kernel stuff or could it be fixed with an xposed module or just an app? In other words, why has no one addressed this yet? There's G3 Tweaks Box but nothing in there regarding the sharpening.
From the research I've been doing on the issue it appears it's kernel level stuff. I am by no means an expert on it. What pisses me off about this is why more people aren't complaining and getting LG to do something about it. At least respond to their customers about an issue with their product.
But if we can't get LG to acknowledge the problem or address it, then we need to start getting people to make some ROMS and address it in our own way.

Verizon VS985 here and this issue bugs the crap out of me. Some web-pages the entirety of the text is "sharpened" but I do agree, it mostly happens with black text on an off-white background.
Testing using the PlayStore and the Notification shade shows it off but not quite to the degree that I've seen on some pages.

You need recovery and a unlocked boatloader for that and it could be a while....Sprint doesn't even have root yet

Let's hope it's not THAT long. I only have a 45 day return policy. Lol

Yeah. It's quite irritating. You gonna return it? Or just live with it?

I just wait for the community support, i think a modded kernel will fix that...
I have this phone for over 2 weeks now and i can barely notice this problem compared to the first time with the phone...

Yeah. I hear ya. Still bothers me and I've had it for about 4 days now. I wish I knew how to do that stuff with kernels and all that. I'd be working on a fix right this second.
