Hi all,
I received my Nexus 7 from eBuyer (UK) yesterday, and last night noticed that there's two dead pixels. They're both located towards the top left corner of the screen. I've tried running a dead pixel app that can clear them, but it didn't help in my case.
Is it worth trying to get it replaced?

If it bothers you, yes. If it doesn't bother you, no.
Not worth...
Use a few days. Don't think about.
this is just a tablet gadget which will be obsolete in 1year.
My old nexus has a dead pixel in the middle and I don't see it...
go get a job instead.!

Found a dead pixel on my gnex. Its a tiny green dot near the top left of my screen. Guess the red and blue parts of the pentile pixel stopped working making it show only green.
Does anyone have this?

I'm on my 3rd GNex. The first 2 had a stuck pixel. I just got a brand new replacement and it has a dead pixel! The dead pixel shows up on 5 different colours. I am so frustrated. I called Samsung and they told me to return it because the dead pixel can make the screen worse. She told me to wait until the second batch comes out but couldn't give me a date as to when they will be out. I have read many threads on here regarding dead pixels and grainy screens. What happened to the quality of Samsung screens? They are known for their screens. I am very disappointed in the GNex. I don't know whether I should exchange it for yet another GN or just get a full refund and wait. What do you guys think?
I had a whole vertical line of red dead pixels on the far right side of my screen. It was actually the ideal place to have such a line, since it was out of the way of pretty much everything.
But still, when I pay $450 for something new I'm not going to put up with such a flaw, so I got a replacement which is pretty perfect. Third time was the charm for me. If I had needed a 4th phone I would've called it quits and gotten a refund.
Looks like I'm calling it quits since this will be my 4th GNex. Even Samsung told me to return it and wait for the second batch to come out. They have no clue when the second batch will be out. But all this going back and forth is too much in just 2 weeks!
Edit, if my posts showed up 3X, I'm sorry. I have no idea why it did.
Afaik dead pixels are black... if it is a colour then the pixel is stuck... just Google how to fix stuck pixels.
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.
This weekend I was playing Goat Simulator. Yes, I laughed my ass off with this game.
But... My tablet got very hot, on the top next to the camera.
After a few minutes of playing the Nexus crashed and gave purple stripes on the screen. Nexus tried to reboot but failed a few times.
After 5 minuten of rebooting and resetting the tablet came back to life. After some browsing and another game of Goat Simulator the tablet broke down on me.
Screen went off and the Nexus cannot be started anymore. The battery was half full (55%).
Probably the Graphics chip or processor that melted down...
This is the 2nd time my Nexus need to go for a repair in half a year. Got my Nexus 2014-11-03.
First time I had red dots in my screen and they replaced the screen for me.
Do you guys have such problems with the Nexus of is it just me?

Are you overclocking or something?
Nope, I have kids that use mine and abuse it. They leave like 10 games on in the background and play games all the time..never any over heating.
Mine is all stock.

Hmmmm, maybe you should talk to Google about that kind of stuff(Or Asus), Probably just a manufacturing defect. I know mine didn't have any problems in the first place and most people I know with a nexus 7 don't have this kind of trouble, so just see what the big guy's will do about it. If they can't do anything, you can decide from there
No OC'ing here.
Using CleanRom which is Stock Rom with some (minor) improvements for stability.
The Nexus 7 has been sent to Asus repair again.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Thanks for the replies guys!
Maybe you should try factory reset and stock rom.

The Nexus cannot be turned on anymore.
It's dead. Attaching it to the computer does not give any sign of life at all.
The tablet is at Asus repair now.
i saw a lot of people who use Asus Nexus 7 2013 have problems with their tab.
Hope Google will cooperate with better manufactures , such as Samsung, Lg, HTC., Sony ...
My Nexus 7 2014 is first batch and more than one year old.
NOT a tiny tiny problem.
In this case, should I say Asus has the best build quality, According to the previous of the thread do?
I had HTC one yellow screen, send back to repaired.
Lg optimus g speaker problem, rma,
Galaxy s4 bad gps, sent back to factory and exchanged.....
Come on people. Issues happens. Manufacturers make millions of phone /tablet everyday. Even 99.99%of them are good, there are hundreds of bad ones. And don't forget to blame yourself. We already see lots of guys break their phones glass.
Be cool and get RMA.
It is not anyone 's role to judge build quality for just one or two tabs. Not you. Not me.

My first 2013 nexus died after a few months. Google has an amazing warranty process though and they replaced it in days.
I've had the replacement for many months and it is perfect so far. I don't have any issues with build quality.

I'm not judging the quality. I was just asking around if there are more people with the same problems.
It's being repaired as we speak so hopefully I will get it back soon. :d
I hear ya mate. My first one did die on me after a few months. So far no problems with this one.

Gonna RMA my tablet I guess this should still be covered in warranty, I'm really happy that the LCD didn't crack so I can use my tablet until Asus comes to pick it up
EDIT1: after a day i saw some black dots appear (it seems like the pixels are fixing themselves)

So after 7 replacements all for various different issues listed here on XDA I have decided to return the phone instead of getting an 8th replacement. I am going to try my luck with a Oneplus 5t.
Any-who my question is this...
Has anyone returned there phone after getting a credit for selling the OG Pixel to Google? Did you get a full refund of the original selling price or the difference?
I hear 8th time's a charm. You gave up too early.
You should probably just keep replacing them until the 3rd pixel comes out, then repeat the process in perpetuity.
7 replacements?
lol
you just didnt like the phone. its ok
not all phones are for everyone. good luck with your 1080p screen

Took me 5 I think lol or 6 I lost count but finally got a good one. It's too bad Google's quality control is that bad!! Should be way better imo

Could you list the reasons why you returned each one? I mean.. 7! My first one came with 2 dead pixels on the screen but my second one has been fine for other a month now. I know it has a blue tint thing going on but that's just AMOLED technology and you will find that on every OLED phone.
What is exactly wrong with these phones you guys are returning? I don't really get it. Mine works and looks fine.
I'm ok with mine and the first reason for me not buying 5t is its 1080p screen.

I loved the phone or I would have giving up after the 2nd one. I really tried to make it work. And I know a 1080p display isn't ideal but it is only temporary until the next flagship phone is released.

This is to the best of my knowledge.
1. Blue tint was horrible
2. Brown lines going across the center of the display
3. Dead pixels
4. Dead pixels
5. Phone kept rebooting
6. Phone kept rebooting
7. The display randomly turns on for 1ms and flashes. Happens several times per min.
I might have these in the wrong order but it's close enough.
#7 was the best phone I had received and was perfect up until a few days ago. When I called Google about it they said it was a know issue and they are working on it.

Almost sounds like they kept returning the same phone to you. What a Charlie Foxtrot of epic proportions. Sorry man
I'm on my 4th... first one was a bad battery drain even in safe mode, 2nd and 3rd I had bad burn in and now the 4th wont take the January update. Been waiting a week for them to figure out whats wrong. Just says installation problem between steps 1 and 2, I enrolled in the beta to see if that helps and now phone says its up to date in the Dec 5th patch so no idea whats going on with it.

Google will only issue you Google Store credit for your trade in. I went through 5 before I called it quits.

I already received my refund for my trade in months ago. I just want to make sure I was going to receive a full refund for the phone. Google's answer wasn't 100% clear.

You will receive a credit for the actual amount that was charged to your card.
I guess it's just luck
My manufacturers or build or what it is called date is of 14 oct or so and except that blue tint which is evident and it's slow charging about 2h 45min fro 10 to full i had no complaints
2nd day got the swift black theme and gone the blue tint to an extent lol
Still coping up with slow charging as i was spoiled by dash charge
Cheers ?
