Has anyone recently gotten a new Nexus without the problems with the screen such as the purple tint, banding, inaccurate colors and grainy whites? I just got an S3 and the screen is definitely better than that of my old Nexus but I'm thinking of going back to the Nexus but I prefer the phone with a better screen lol.

People who just got their Nexus immediately after the ban have been receiving theirs today and all of them had great screens, based on their feedback on the thread

My replacement phone from January is perfect. I am aware thats the luck of the draw though, considering my wife's phone is definitely NOT perfect.
My replacement Nexus (2 weeks old) is perfect. I can't believe I went that long with a bad nexus.

Lol funny guy
So basically the screens they are using in the recent Nexus phones are better? No purple tint? Banding? Grainy whites on low brightness?

Apparently if you get one with a serial number of C5 or higher there is a very good chance you will get one with a goof screen.

I just got mine yesterday and I have mad ghosting (usually from the keyboard). I was at the at&t store yesterday and the screen in the display GS3 looked nicer. I don't have any banding issues. The color temperature is closer to that of my Lumia 800 (slightly yellow whites, very vibrant blues) than my finally retired Nexus One (first gen AMOLED, very high K whites, almost blue, washed out reds).
Where can I check the serial number?

Hard to draw a conclusion
We have 4 Gnexes, and two of them have gone back to Samsung for new screens, so I guess we've had 6 screens all told. I don't think I can draw a conclusion based on build date...
My son has the oldest of the 4, and his screen is nice.
Mine is the next oldest, and the screen was good from day-1, and the newly installed (dropped it) screen is really good.
My daughter's is 2nd newest, and her screen is OK, but not as good as mine. Hers got a new screen before my wife got her phone, and that one is OK, too.
My wife's phone is the newest (march or April?) (with the exception of my replaced screen), and has looked dreadful the whole time, but she doesn't seem to mind it.
My phone is 3 weeks old now. I have no 'grainy' things going on. I do have banding with the color 'grey'. I tested it with the app called 'LCD TEST' free from Google Play. I tested every color and I only got banding with the color 'grey'. The rest looks ridicilously good!
I do have to say that my Old Omnia II with an Amoled screen was good. I could see the pixels easily. (3.7", 800x480)
I can also see the pixels on my Galaxy NEXUS with ease. But these pixels are way smaller but still noticeable. Because of that the screen does not look as sharp as I thought it'd be. But still it looks WAY better than my Omnia II's Amoled screen. Also blows the Galaxy S' screen away (which I've compared my Galaxy NEXUS to)
So it seems the screens issues are really just a hit and miss. I wish they would use the same screen tech they use in the S3 :/ I'm missing jelly bean but I don't want to go from a better screen to one with problems ...decisions decisions lol

I received my Nexus on July 6th from the playstore. The screen looks fantastic to me. Blacks are black, as for whites I'm not sure what grainy is really supposed to mean. I don't think there's any graininess.
I was playing with my friends gs3 today. And the colors look so much better. But after looking at specs on gsmarena.com and it shows the same screen technology. Is it just a color gamma setting that can be corrected or are they actually different screens ? I love my nexus and want to holds off until the next nexus bit the screen on that phone is amazing

Just like the title says. What are some things that are commonly wrong with the replacements?

Power button can become worn down rather quick, make sure if "clicks" and feels like the volume rocker.
Go into settings so you have a gray background then pull down the notification pane. Check for excessive purple on the gray colors.

I got a CLN replacement and minus a little purple tint which I can live with the device is flawless. The 4G radios have not locked up once in the one week I have had it! Good luck on yours.....
Get one of those dead pixel checking apps or use a all white screen and check for dead or stuck pixels.

I wouldn't check for dead pixels unless you're guaranteed 0 dead pixel.
Normally you wouldn't notice a few dead spots on the screen, but once you know where they are, they will become very noticeable.

I had a stuck blue pixel on my first replacement right in the upper center of the display. It was instantly visible on a white background.

I got one with a big scratch and crap radio and one that had animal hair stuck all over the sticky plastic wrap that wouldn't charge. So, op, be prepared for ANYTHING.

I really enjoy every aspect of this phone except for the colors of the display. I am very astonished and disappointed when I compare my Galaxy Nexus to it.
I hope someone can implement color control again. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my Galaxy S3

I use a screen protector on my galaxy nexus and have recently noticed that the app drawer icons still show for about the second after I've moved on. Could it be the screen protector?
If it isn't, how do I go about performing a degauss? I remember CRT had them.

Your brightness is too high. Turn on auto brightness and let the phone determine how high to set the screens brightness.

hit that thanks button if I helped you
The phone has been on auto brightness ever since I bought it in July

How much time do you spend un ultra bright conditions?

I'm mostly indoors; in the car or at work or at home and it's never very bright anywhere.
If I have to make an estimation of very bright screen usage, I'd say about five minutes a day.
Burn-in had to do with heat. Applying the screen protector does hold in more heat than it should. That got me thinking...

Hmm i too have experienced this .. im positive its not because of the screen protector
Any solution to the problem?
