[Q] White and color vertical lines on screen. Hardware or software issue? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello. I recently purchased a Nexus 7 2013 model. For the first couple of days, it worked flawlessly. However, while it was charging today while on, I attempted to use it and experienced white vertical lines on the screen. After powering down and restarting, the lines disappeared. However, the vertical lines reappeared after a couple of minutes.
I have attached pictures for reference.
Is this normal? Or is this a hardware defect? Your thoughts are most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Maybe its not hardware problem - some more advanced user should look into this problem...

That's most likely a hardware defect, assuming it has warranty you should be able to replace it.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I will return it to the seller.
Actually, the lines are colored as well. Photos attached to OP. If anyone believes it is a software issue, please let me know. I already tried a factory reset.
Thanks!

That looks like hardware problem. Could be as simple as loose cable.

Thanks for the reply. Decided to just return it. I don't know why, but I have a lot of pairs with the Asus items I have purchased. ?

this weird spot appeared on my screen yesterday, and I have no idea why... How do I get rid of it?
Looks like the start of somthing nasty like a newton ring.... do you have an amoled or lcd screen?

it seems that you have pressed the digitizer against something or left it sowhere hot. but i have seen this again and it went away on its own. if it does not you must send it to htc for repair.

It's SLCD. Also, I didn't pressure it, and it was in the cold when this happened, about -12 C
digitizer+touch sensitive part, not the lcd. anyhow. try to leave it in room temp and see what will happen.

Well, I'm still going to take it to HTC Care. I already unrooted, so there's nothing to lose. I hope I'll get a replacement though...
Sorry for the bump, just wanted to post that I got the phone back 2 days ago.. 58 days in service.

OMG My phone was on repair with cracked inside AMOLED screen(not the digitizer) for a week only. Did you actually got new phone or the same? and did you get it fixed? did you pay for it or was it in warranty?

Is this thing in my screen normal?

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus phone yesterday, and last night I noticed this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you see, the screen looks a bit more reddish on a side and a little more greenish on the other. It's more noticeable with low brightness levels, especially when displaying white backgrounds.
Is this normal on these phones? Should I get a refund and / or replacement?
Thanks!
These screens have some issues at lower brightness levels.. that's just the screen though. In your case I guess it would come down to how much it bothers you really

Well, it does. I know these screen have some other issues, such as some noise and granularity, but as far as I've read this is not a common issue. Hence the question, do you guys have it too?

Hallo my friend, seems like we are in the same boat. We have a screen issue thread over 60+ pages in galaxy note Q & A.
check this thread out
The issue u see are definitely associated with these Amoled screens, but the biggest problem of all is the ignorance from everybody thinking it is NORMAL.
Where i say its NOT NORMAL
And still everybody thinks is NORMAL & continue to think they hv the best Super Amoled screen in the world.
I m getting frustrated...
I'd assume that's not normal and it would bother the crap out of me. Try getting a replacement?
try Franco Kernel as it fixes the color... if you buy his app you will be able to control the color to your liking.
but this is definitely not normal

Er, well. If you agree that it's not the way the screen should look, I think I'll get a replacement rather than mess with the kernel. I'll let you know how it went, thanks guys.

[Q] Anyone else have a gap like this?

There is a small gap between the face and the body on my watch. Does anyone else have this as well?

Wow that's weird. Return that one! Definitely not ip67
Mine doesn't do this, but the two I have show stuck pixels. The quality control (if there is any) on these things is really disheartening. Dead pixels and now things like this start showing up?!? They hyped the watch for months, you'd think they could figure out how to make it correctly?

I talked with Moto support and they escalated it saying they hadn't seen that issue before. Since I bought it from Best Buy just 2 days prior they recommended I take it back and get another.
Well of course they are out so I just got a refund. Back to the waiting game again. :crying:

just checked mine, doesnt have it.
Went back to BB today and they had a silver. No gap, no stuck pixels, and it's charging as we speak. Since I used it for a few days before having to return it, I really missed some of the functionality. Will be nice to have one again. :victory:
Nope. Mine just had a gap like this on the left but not the right

Defective Touchscreen?

Since a few days my touchscreen is unresponsive on a ~ 1cm wide stripe on the left side of the screen. In a touchscreen tester app it looks like this:

I am pretty positive it is a hardware problem. Has anybody else experienced something similar and was able to fix it without HTC-Repair? Would hate to stock and relock and un-soff it .
Hi! Never experienced spmething like this on any device of mine, but i fear it's an hardware problem... Did you do any software change? Firmware update or similar? Have you tried another rom? Is your firmware up-to-date?

It's in repair center atm. HTC acknowledged that it is a hardware defect.

Touch screen issues

Im in need of major help, i tried looking on the forums everywhere else but the questions were similar, but had different answers.
anyways my problem is that was looking around in the hidden menu on my LG G3 (AT&T)(D850) and things were going pretty well, ran some test, all passed, but then i got to the "Update touch firmware" option. and naturally (since i like to be up to date) i clicked on it, it froze then said wait 10 sec, so i did and nothing happened, in-fact the message never went away until after some time, then the screen turns off and i tried to unlock my phone using my pin and long and behold, touch input would not work... so it has to be something with what i did, because it worked fine before. what can i do about this or is all hope lost and should i just live in a cave? :crying:
UPDATE
touch input still works, but with a large amount of delay, i have to hold down the button for it to register.... maybe it has something to do with sensitivity ?

no, but you do have a dead area on your screen, usually its related to hardware and can sometimes be fixed, all be it a barbaric method, other times it software related, but from the looks of the pic, it seems hardware related, so you might be at a loss, now im not expert, but that's what i read around here on the forums while trying to find a fix for my phone.
ill put a link for a possible method that could work, its worth a try at least.

GL :fingers-crossed:
hey, i got the same problem a week ago. i had a dead zone on my g3 d855.
i tried the method above, smartphone was fixed for couple of hours, but it came back.
So i sent in my g3 to repair service and they changed the LCD. Today it came back and everything seems fixed now.
I don`t know, there was a report paper and there they said, the "fail" was initiated by the battery.....
