Got a replacement camera for my cracked bezel recently and I just realized the camera doesn't seem to work right. When I take a picture with the flash on, the picture comes out looking like nothing but a big white light. Anyone else have this issue or maybe a fix?

So you got your camera replaced not a replacement phone?
I meant replacement phone... Lol

You probably got a bad phone and need to do a replacement again. Keep in mind I'm not trying to be rude with this next comment. This is why you don't exchange a perfectly working phone just because it has a crack. Chances are the refurbished phone you get in return is going to suck a$$.

I just picked up this phone from a guy through local classifieds and I've noticed that it has a really noticeable yellow tint to it when I look at it straight on.
If I hold it at any angle it looks fine. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do about it?
As far as I heard it's an issue with the oled screens in general. Something about the organic compound or what not. But your not alone a good amount of people get it. Maybe do what the quote below is suggesting.

My E4GT has a bit of a blue tint. Downloaded an app called "Screen Adjuster". It's basically a RGB adjuster just like on your LCD tvs. You can even widget it to have a quick on/off feature from your home page.

Thanks, but that app doesn't help at all. :-(

Take it in to a Sprint store. At worst it will cost you 35$ to get it fixed.
It could be burn in, or a bad oled.

I thought they didn't fix screens anymore. I'll call them in a bit and ask... will report back.

They can't fix a shattered screen. But if its just a problem with the oled screen they might be able to do it, or at least set you up with a replacement. They don't do shattered screens because it can cut the techs.

I'll call them in a few minutes and let you know what I find out.
I just got back from the sprint corporate store and they told me that there was nothing they would do for me.
they told me that every phone does it. That is a complete lie. Even their f****** displays did not do this.
they told me that it does not affect the functionality of the phone so they would not replace it or even work on it.
I can't even really describe how pissed off I am right now
Put out the word to anyone with a working E4GT who only uses it to dev and see if they'll swap it out. Can't hurt to ask.
I just got off the phone with Sprint (*2) and told them what the little prick was saying to me at the store and they put in a work order so I can take it to a different store and most likely get a replacement. I won't be able to go up there until tomorrow so we shall see what happens.
I wound up selling it and going back to the GNex... where I'm suffering with battery life problems.
I have honestly not been satisfied with any Android phone except the EVO and the Nexus One :-(
There's this weird flower type of a thing on the top left screen on the phone that wont come off at all. At first it was small and didnt know what or how it got there and now it got a little longer and it is very weird. Its hard to distinguish what it exactly it is. Could it possibly be a defective sign because it is still smooth and its not sign of a scratch more so internally. Its kind of hard to actually take a picture to show the weird design in good quality but im worried that it can keep getting longer. What should i do?

Could it possibly be the digitizer separating from the LCD? Weird looking nonetheless.

How does that happen & can Tmobile replace this for free since i never dropped it or anything and its basically internal.
Looks like the digitizer or something in the screen is detaching. I'd ask for a new phone.

If you bought it within the past 30 days, you can get a replacement through buyers remorse. If its after 30 days, you will have to do a warranty replacement and then you would get a factory refurbished device.

Hi, so I dropped my One X on the road and before I noticed it, I stepped on it.. It's the first time my phone is damaged after more than a year of using it. Aside from having scars all over it's white body, nothing much happened to the camera, audio, etc.
The bit that I cannot live with is a small burn line that appears yellow and red/pinkish on the center right edge on the screen, it appears more on white backgrounds i.e. browsers, etc.. It's really annoying, I have no warranty nor insurance, and I have no clue on what it actually is.
Can anyone give me a clue on what exactly is it, how to fix it, and how much would it cost? Thanks.

Ah, bad... I think that you damaged screen, so it's hardware and only fix is screen replacement...

Oh noes, I was planning to sell it and get a Nexus 5 after a couple of weeks, but looks like I'm never gonna be able to sell it now.
Any idea how much will a screen replacement cost me?

here you are man there is even the back cover if u want
One X replacement
I think the colouration is due to permanent pressure applied on that part of the screen. Perhaps when you stepped on it you caused some internal component to shift and apply pressure on the screen from inside. I suggest getting a replacement back cover (pretty cheap), open the device, unscrew the motherboard and rescrew see if the pressure point is relieved. Then go ahead and replace the cover and theres a good chance all will be back to normal.
There's a ton of disassembly videos on YouTube. It's pretty easy - I just did it for the first time this week to swap a damaged battery.

I ordered my Nexus 5X from bhphotovideo, shipping to Mexico. Sadly, I got a defective camera and bhphotovideo doesn't want to comply with customs here in Mexico so if I exchange my item I'll have to pay import taxes again (about 147 usd(even with this the phone was cheaper than buying it here in Mexico)).
I think the best option for me would be to replace the camera (it looks really easy) but I haven't been able to find a replacement camera module at a decent price.
Do you guys know a page where I could buy this? Or does someone knows when they might become available?
contact Google for a replacement/repair. they are usually better at customer service than LG. Ultimately call LG for a repair quote. It shouldn't be much.
what's wrong with it?

I think I'll try LG since they have offices here in Mexico, let's hope they help even though it was bought in the us
mate that looks more like dust between the lens and the back cover... i've seen this happen in a dslr where dust goes between the lens and the image sensor
if LG fails to repair your device (i say they will fix it) then you can always open it to clear the dust out.

I think that the spot might be in the sensor itself but it is worth a try
Will removing the back cover void the warranty?
Well I tried opening an though I couldn't remove the black spot it moved to another place... so I'm guessing it some dust really really stuck to the inner lens?
Any ideas of what I can use to clean it?

they sell cans that contain compressed air.. specially used for electronics.. you could try that if there's any opening around the lens.. but i doubt there will be any opening. to prevent dust going in, in the first place.
http://gokimco.com/blog/using-compressed-air-dusters-to-clean-electronic-circuit-boards
here's what it looks like
the first thing i'd do is try to figure out where the dust is sitting. most likely its just between the lens and the back cover lens which would make it really easy to fix
Today while sleeping I dropped my pillow on the charger of the nexus... and it fell to the floor
When I used the camera again the spot was gone and the camera is now working correctly D:
I got lucky I guess <3
My pixel 2 XL has a small bump by the top of the LCD.
It doesn't affect the screen at all but I'm just wondering if I'm the only one. I'll try and get a picture of it. Only visible when screen is off. I noticed it today and my OCD went off. Maybe in the only one. Do any of you guys have it? It's right under the earpiece speaker. Top center of the LCD.
Why is this not posted on the QA section ?
Not seeing one, post a picture if possible when thread is moved...

That is not normal at all. I would contact Google about it right away.

RMA it ASAP
From what I see, RMA it...
Already RMA'd the device.
Advanced RMA. So they're charging my credit card and sending a whole nother unit. Once I get it, I send my faulty device back and get credited back . I hope I'm the only one. I had no blue tint too. Sucks. With my luck I'll get a blue tint screen lol

Got my new device today. All is good now.
My buddy had the same issue as me, so it's more than likely not an isolated issue. Anyone else here with this problem?
Not sure how you got one with a LCD. It's supposed to have an OLED.
Was that reply necessary? Jesus.
