LOL Google is crashing and burning hard on this phone. Not even to mention there was a shipment sent and there was no phone in the box lol. Ey yi yi... Google QC is non-existent on this launch.

I wonder if this really is Google's fault. Yes they have a responsibility to quality controll their devices. But as it is HTC and LG who are producing these phones, installing them and so on? (dont know if that really is the case, but guessing it is) arent really they to blame for it? Google giving them the design, LG and HTC produce the phone, installing the tweaked software from google, and shipping them to the google stores, finnished in the packages. In my head, LG and HTC shoud be held responsible for this, not google.
But yeah, this is a tragic chapter in a wonderfull company's history

While you're not really wrong... Do we blame Apple or Foxcon for iPhone QC issues? Apple gets the blame. The Pixels aren't like the Nexus phones that are advertised as being LG or HTC made... These are advertised as made by Google. LG and HTC are Foxcon in this case. Or at least that's how I see it..... Foxcon probably builds these too lol

These phones are apparently showing up with "slightly" different OS problems. A friend of mine opened his yesterday and it boots straight to recovery I think (haven't seen it in person yet). It has a message like "Can't load Android System" and the only options are "Try again" and "Factory Reset". Neither of which does anything except return to the same screen. He was going to try flashing the phone with the stock image, but these don't come with a USB C to USB cable, and he didn't have a USB to USB (non mini) at home to use the adapter. He's already returning it for a refund, but may get a cable and try again tonight just to see if it will come up. This is a bad picture. I'll try to get a better at lunch today.

I would bet anything this has happened with every brand. I've seen every issue the pixel has on other brands here and there. Everything has a defect rate some worse than others.

I'm considering buying the phone because i loved the phone's light weight and crisp display. But, a reviewer(for pocketnow) said that the VZ Navigator always crashes and makes the phone almost unusable until he reboot it. So, I wanna ask if this problem occurs in every Lg Spectrums...

So just uninstall VZ Navigator? I mean, I don't know why all these carriers slap their own navigation on top of the G-Maps one.
Well.... Maybe I should.
But I don't like installing a custom launcher or jailbreaking the phone.
I received an message from a reviewer works for Wirefly, saying that his LG runs VZ navigator smoothly. So, maybe that's just his issue.

I don't mean any offense by this at all, but if you're not going to root (jailbreak) your phone, you're pretty much on the wrong forum. That's all we do around here.
I have a reason for that;
after i use the phone for a month, i will bring this back to korea, where LG provides excellent customer service. But they don't take care of handsets bricked by rooting. So, I want to root it at least 1 years after I bought the phone.
Before you do anything to your phone, would you please make a screenshot of Settings -> About phone (scroll to the bottom)
I'd like to make sure our unbricked phones have the same data there.
Screenshot can be taken by pressing at the same time power button and home button, the images stored in /sdcard/Captured Images/
(first time I see a linux with spaces in the filenames..go figure)
This is mine:

One California man is thanking his lucky stars that he decided to buy an HTC Evo 3D. Yesterday morning the phone stopped a bullet that would otherwise have hit him in the chest.
It’s a scene right out of an old Western flick, except that the pocket-sized Bible has been replaced by a 4.3-inch Android smartphone. A look at the back of the Evo reveals that its most volatile components (the battery) played an important role in stopping the slug.
Obviously the victim will be in the market for a new phone now. If HTC’s marketing department has an ounce of common sense, they’ll leap at the chance to work this into their Iron Man campaign and get a brand new phone into this guy’s hands as quickly as possible.
This isn’t the first time an HTC phone has stopped a bullet, either. You may recall an eerily similar incident that occurred back in 2011, where an Atlanta nightclub valet’s life was saved by an Evo 4G. Yes, that’s another Sprint variant.
Is it possible that the Sprint/HTC collaboration is yielding some breed of superphones? Clearly one other thing Droid does is stand up to small caliber rounds.
Unapologetically plastic? That’s a slogan that works for some. Others might prefer the sound of something a bit more dramatic, and if HTC can’t find a way to capitalize on a second live-saving, bullet-stopping phone then the company deserves to be absorbed by a competitor and fade into oblivion.

That's like the best kind of marketing...
yeah, HTC dould use it efficiently...

haha, yeah...It's true, HTC could replace the mobile and use it for marketing... It is definitely the best build in the android mobile market...
They should really use that for marketing, would catch the attention of people with cracked phones!
New business opportunities for HTC. Manufacturing of body armour.

I noticed stuck pixels (whenever I'm on a black screen i see two colors red and blue) on my NX 7 only hours after purchasing it, which was the 21'st of December. Due to Best Buy being crowded during this time of the year i tried to ignore it, and I hoped it went away. I tried the apps that were supposed to fix stuck pixels, but they didn't make anything better. On Thursday or Friday I'm exchanging it, for another. I've unlocked and rooted it, but I'm going to flash it back to stock. Do you think they will give me a replacement, if not what should i say because i really don't want to deal with the stuck pixels?
Should I just keep because i may get one that's worse?
What should i expect?
Thanks for viewing.

Best Buy didn't give me any grief when I had the same. I wiped and flashed the stock ROM and recovery, and on the initial setup screen, the rep could clearly see the dead black pixel.
You should have no qualms about exchanging for another. If the next one also has any bad pixels, exchange it too. You're not paying the most money in the world, but enough that you should get a properly working device.

Yup, they said it was defective and they gave me another. Thanks.
The replacement has light bleed, YAY.
Best buy will eventually black ball you for returns as they did with me. Return it and get your money then buy it somewhere else.

I had the same problem, and actually made them open 3 new units in store before I found a perfect one. The manager was getting a little annoyed with me, but I'm not going to accept anything less than perfect. In the end I got what I wanted.
Hi,
I had some trouble with this phone. Long story short, I worked in US and my job take a open me a plan with at&t so I can use the phone back in canada with rogers.
Since the Gpro is only available in US, I thought it was a great idea to have a ''unique'' phone.
It worked fine for 2 weeks ( led notification stop working). UNDER light use.
Then after some time, the LCD ips backlight stop working. With a flashlight I was able so see the screen but it wasn't clever.
I asked LG several time, but the moment I told them the phone is in canada, they wont help me, even if I paid with us money on us territory.
Like if I live on the moon, it took 40 minutes to get to the border....
They finally admit that some of the first batch got problem with the screen, but still wont exchange it.
F*ck them, I tried to repair it myself.
#1 - Clean the contacts with 70% alcohol. No luck
#2 - Buy a new IPS LCD on ebay . No luck.
#3 - Clean the whole device with contact cleaner. No luck

#4- Then I do remember some HP laptop and Xbox 1st gen got soldering problem, so you put it in the oven and they work again.
So nothing to loose, I put the MOBO in the oven, convection bake, 375*´F for 10 minutes. Smell of plastic and the mobo bent (use aluminium support to avoid that)
YES! It worked. But since I use the contact cleaner, my screen was blurry.
So after 2 months of testing, I bought a second screen plus the home button assembly to get my LED notification back .
But the LED notification never come back
I found a app called buttonLED, so the back and menu button flash when I got a call/sms.
In conclusion, I had 2 LG , E980 and someone give the 3D (thrill), and both got problem, software AND hardware.
I'm on xda since I have the motorolla milestone (one of the first android device) and the Desire Z. Those 2 devices still working fine, the HTC desire Z 2010 to 2014!!! Still in good shape.
LG device are poorly craft from what I saw and what I can read on xda.
I repair a lot of devices, but nothing like this one. It was clearly a soldering problem.
For all of you who can have this kind of problem, use this method on LAST resort. It may not work for you, but did the trick for me.
Last week I got my battery replace by HTC HK, the receipt clearly said it only replace the battery, after I get back my phone I found the upper part of the screen sometime will be non responsive, today I call HTC HK again and they say according to their computer record my screen module also got replaced, what the.... the worst is they don't have parts in stock for replacement, I need to wait at least 2~3 week just for the parts.
My screen is fine before replace the battery, I don't know why HTC replace it secretly.

I don't think they have the technology to suck the battery out of the USB port just yet.

and I don't think they allow to replace my working screen with a bad one without my permission and not notify me.
anyway, I just get a confirmation from local consumer council which said it is HTC fault to replace my screen without my permission and not notify me, HTC may break the law in here due to they replace my parts without my permission and not notify me at all.
as the case now go through the consumer council and they may forward to other government department about the legal issue, I cannot comment on this topics anymore.

Some youtube guys called the 10 the medusa of all phones to repair. So its hardly possible to remove the battery without damaging the screen because there is glue everywhere.
