Does that mean you got a brand new one or they just repaired it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raptir:
They gave me a new one. I was still within the return period with Google, but Google had Samsung handle the exchange for whatever reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FingerMove:
Hmm... Probably won't count for me, since I unfortunately bought one off from somebody for 250€, at least I have the bill for a repair.

Thanks for the answers!

Got my nexus yesterday, right away noticed the coloring, the irritating purple hue. As well as some "banding", vertical lines through the length of the screen. I put some example photos of my phone, for defected screen reference. Just sent it back for a refund.. hope they acknowledge the issue, and hopefully send a good one back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
great for you! :) could you please edit the your message and remove all the images? it's been posted on the page one and no need to reload it again in the posting, reloading the images on your message consumed lots of bandwidth quota here just to read your message. *no offense :D

you could try to replace the whole phone from the store, or if that doesn't work, you could get a screen replacement from samsung service center, just make sure the replacement screen is tested well by their technician before replacing onto your phone. i get better screen after replaced it last september. :)

Flickering on Galaxy Nexus

Running JB 4.1.2 stock on GNex, been using it for 3 weeks now. However i was doing video chat on Gtalk and wifi was on, battery was only at 4%. It suddenly starts flickering violently and goes off, then i Immediately put it on charge and restart it (flickering persists). Only after 1-2 minutes of charging, normalcy resumes and it is fine since then.

Does this warrant a change of the set? Is it a problem or how phones behave under heavy battery consumption in the last bit of juice?

Kindly advice

Regards

Charan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
when it shutted off by itself, please charge it immediately and avoid to use the phone until it's up more than 14%. you might make the battery works harder when charging from 0% and keep using it all the time, decrease battery capacity or even worse. you could read some useful information from battery university.

there's no need for replacing the phone nor the screen. but if you often get flickering when the battery is full or half full then there might be something wrong.

i never have problems with the screen when it reaches 0%, but i seldom use the phone that way, only do once a month to calibrate with watching videos until the phone shuts off.

hope this helps.

Bright bars on the screen

I have bright bars on my screen and I think it's not normal. I haven't seen this kind of defect on other pictures of gnex. Should I try to get better GNex than this?

My GNex also has quite annoying banding on lower brightness levels :/ Display's quality is really poor compared to S3's display...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
charging li-ion is way too easy and no need high maintenance. instead of discharging it too much, the battery will work harder if you charge it from way low to full high (last 300 to 500 cycles only). considered a 40-80% charging range will do no harm on your battery (expected to last 1500 cycles). calibrate it once a month or three months.:)

take a look at the amazing article here on battery university and lifehacker.

tottally agree, just ask for a screen replacement from samsung service center dude. :)

well you could try solid black wallpaper and see it for yourself. :)

Just noticed the black spots on my new galaxy nexus screen while using it in low light with black background. :(

But after reading few threads including this also it is now clear to me that it is just a sAMOLED manufacturing process's byproduct. :sly:

But now my question is that does these black spots will get worse over time or not ?? :confused:

just told 'em that it's not normal to having two white lines top and bottom which looks like a white leak. :)

i'm curious, do you use stock jelly bean? and what build is it?

using jelly bean 4.1.2 takju build didn't have that kind of white leaks. if you happen already unlocked the bootloader try it to flash it with efrant guide to convert to yakju/takju, flash all images from google factory reset for galaxy nexus but skip the userdata.img to keep your data.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

and now i updated to 4.1.2 stock JB..Damn those lines are still there..please help.how to remove them?only way is changing the screen/phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
I guess you have faulty screen. I knew a bunch of people in local forum had this issues with white stripes and after flashing the factory image to 4.1.1 the screens were back to normal back then.

I wonder why you flashed to 4.0.4 and updated to 4.1.2 instead of flashing directly to 4.1.2?

You should backup all your data first and try to clean install uaing efrant tips, try to flash all the six images (bootloader, radio, system, userdata, boot, and recovery). Note that ny doing this will wipe all of your data, make sure you back it up first on PC.

If that fails then ask for phone/screen replacement. Hehe

just make sure they have tested it rigorously well before replacing your screen to avoid getting worse screen than you are having right now. good luck to you, dude! :)

think applying trinity colors and so on can cause burn in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
I'm not sure for the long run. Just don't set the red green blue too high. :D

I think people misinform regarding burn in instead of burn out. Blue diode on oled display tend to deteriote faster than red and green, thus making the screen looks like a burn in. Constant displaying static images deteriotes the diode. It's wise not to use high brightness in a long run.

If still have your warranty, the best way is to replace with newer screen. :)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitalsunshine:
thx, actually it ghosted right after I start google play from my homescreen. the background wallpaper will stick like a shadow while the google play is loading for like 20 seconds. is it bad? or is it because I use low brightness? other apps never had shadows like that. and the stripes (mostly red stripes) gets worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Low brightness is the only way to know if your LCD has defect.. 20 seconds that's too long for the ghosting to appear.. mine can only last for 7 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esterra:
I have those black dots, on black backgrund.:/ Some time ago there were less, but they are getting more after time.

And, i have a black wallpaper, with a halfmoon . When i go to sms, i can see the moon shape on the sms app white background.:rolleyes:

It`s getting very annoying.

My nexus is about 2 weeks old.:/

Maybe go to warranty, to change the screen.? Maybe there will be a fresher screen? I have readed that the first batch of nexuses, have noticable more screen defects, than the newer ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitalsunshine:
me too! but my wallpaper is stormtrooper helmet. so it's less annoying... maybe I was exaggerating about that 20 second, but as long as the google play is loading on gray screen it's there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FingerMove:
Hey Guys,

I just want to tell you how my story went down and is still going on like forever. First of all, my Galaxy Nexus had image retention issues, color banding and some really bright line at the top of the screen. On October 26th I sent my Galaxy Nexus to a service called "dat repair", as suggested by the Samsung Online-Repairservice. Of course with a detailed report on what's wrong and what should be done, as stated in the sending instructions. The package arrived on October 27th at "dat repair", so I was sure I'd get my Nexus back, while still had holidays (here in Germany).

On November 1st the package came back and I was a bit shocked, because the original phone package wasn't protected at all, no air buffers, nothing. So I unboxed it to see if its at least okay and repaired.

Guess what? It was okay, but there still were scratches on the screen and ALL of the problems were still there!

Some random and probably incompetent guy just flashed my Galaxy Nexus from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4? What the?! I was so disappointed at this moment, that I can't put it into words. I waited over a week just for this?

My Dad was also really angry and called them up, but they said like "You could send it back and we'll fix it properly". While I don't know why they didn't do it in the first place, my Dad recommented to visit the store where I bought this phone. After like 1 hour we arrived there and those guys direcly spotted the problems. They said they will send it to their own repair service and it normally takes up to 5-10 days, depending on if they have a new screen or not. I gave them my number, so they can call me up when it arrives.

Today, 8 days later, I'm dying of waiting for their call. If they don't call me by monday I'll ask for it by myself, because I want it back already. My suggestion is to not send your Galaxy Nexus to the service called "dat repair", trust me, they are so incompetent that you'll regret your lost time. It sounds like a first world problem, but believe me, if you're using the Galaxy Nexus and then you have to go back to an old Galaxy S, waiting every day for them to call up is a pain in the ass. The next time I'm having such issues I'll probably say "**** it, just **** it!".

Threre are 2 things you should do, if you have such issues:

1. Search up the Samsung Store next to you.

2. Live with it like a man and don't waste your time.

I've learned my lesson and it's a shame that this so called "dat repair" wrote on their site "Customer satisfaction is our number one priority" (Well, just a quick translation, it probably says something like "We write customer satisfaction big").

Thanks for reading, I hope this is not too off topic. I'll get back here once my Galaxy Nexus is repaired.

See you guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Not sure if this is the right topic but my GN seems to have a screen issue as well. Amoled is famous for its true black pixels but mine clearly aren't completely black when they actually should be. I made a background that is pure black for about 90% but when the screen is on I can clearly distinguish between the bezel and the actual screen. Also after the screen off animation I can see the pixels being turned off. It only takes a fraction of a second but I notice a difference between a switched on screen with all black pixels and the screen turned off. It's not much and it takes a completely dark area to actually see it but it kind of defies the purpose of having a screen that is supposed to have a low power consumption with dark/black themes.

Is there a quick fix? I don't want to root but if it's necessary I am willing to give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
Newest batch production of samoled display tends not to turning off the pixel completely. Reading some info here and there regarding OLED display make me concludes that it is intentional to not turn off all the pixel when displaying true black in order to avoid faster deteriorate on particular diode of either blue, red, or green ones which makes the screen looks like it gets a burn out effect. By turning on all the diodes even it's only displaying black color, all diodes deteriorate the same, thus avoid the burn out effect. I might be wrong here, that is what i can get from my learning about oled technology. :)

If that is true at least it's good for something. It's still a pity though that the real black story doesn't hold up entirely anymore for amoled. I also wonder what it does to overall energy consumption. Perhaps I just buy a phone with LCD again next time..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Thanks for the link. :thumbup: It still doesn't say anything about power consumption of "dark dark gray" pixels. Someone should compare a phone with true black pixels and the same model but a later build with dark gray pixels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
actually the test did say that even when displaying pure black colors, the screen still consumed power but much much less than white/bright one. so it means that the pixels were not turned off completely using 0 power consumption. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
That's right pixels never turn off completely not just amoled but also IPS and LCD. You just think its turned off coz its in all black but its not..

I have those horizontal (when holding the phone in portrait mode) lines, especially for red to yellow colors - look for a while, you'll see them. See images attached. Is this normal or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
No its not normal but since almost all of us have gnexus have this horizontal lines it just became normal meaning we just have to live with it. What's not normal is when you have vertical lines.if that's the case I suggest you go ask for replacement either your phone if its still under warranty for phone replacement or LCD replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
I have a VERY slight bluish tint on the top of my galaxy nexus. Only shows up on white. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FingerMove:
I had that too, that's probably because the notification bar is always black and when it changes to a brighter color, for example white, it's having like a burn in or difference effect. My Nexus is still being repaired, so I can't tell you if it's the burn in/image retention issue or something normal...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inde87:
Thanks, has not bothered me yet, but I recognized it, didn't found proof for it being "normal" and just wanted to make sure I take action before it gets worse and warranty runs out. Thanks again :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
I would love to know, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Its obvious your lcd has defect.. tried mine in all birghtness percentage and i dont have those blueish color in my notification when I did the drop down or expand the notification bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
If all we want to know is the extra power consumption of very dark gray then the only valid comparison would be very dark gray and true black. That way all other aspects are kept identical and ruled out of the equation. Standard science. The question is: are there GN's out there with true black displays to make such a comparison possible? Could also very well be another phone model of course, as long as the display technology is identical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
Don't forget it has to be the same screen size too, but you could always turn your display off and compare it to your dark dark gray screen.:)

Brightness is your main enemy for battery consumption, just keep it low. I managed to pass 1d 8h battery life with 3.48h screen time on 2000mah battery while using 10% of brightness almost all of the time.

hi,

I am facing a strange issue with my display.

after I flashed paranoidandroid (2.5x) + franco kernel I can see a strange more bright line on top (about 2cm). It start from top for 2cm and then it shade less bright to the bottom (I think the brightness on bottom is the real brightness).

I noticed this issue only after flash and I have not tested with a clean 4.1.2 yet.

What do you suggest to me? My screen is broken? I don't want to take my Gnex to assistance, they will never recognize the screen problem (I've had already problems with assistance on others samsung smartphone).

edit: I noticed that only on white and gray color (red, blu, green are ok).

You should try the default stock factory image 4.2 takju first using efrant's guide.

I think I have the problem with the black dots on a dark screen. The only time when I notice it is when I watch YouTube-videos in bed and the video isn't loaded yet. Now I'm sitting behind my pc and I just googled a image of a solid black and then I don't see it only when sitting in a fully dark room. In the startpost it's said it's a common issue and a replacement will also have it, so is it worth the hassle of getting a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snoozii:
Hi everyone, so I've sent in my GNex twice already.. first time it was for the black dots on screen, nothing else(I really shouldn't have even sent it in for this..) and when it came back to me with a replaced LCD, there were less black dots on the screen(not as visible at all) but instead I started getting the weird blue tint on the top&bottom of the screen and bad grain in low brightness.

I sent it back again complaining about the new problems and they replaced the main board.. wait what? I clearly explained to them I did not have those problems before this LCD replacement, but I guess they didn't put it in their notes. I didn't even know about the advanced return so I've been using a spare this entire time.

Is there a chance they will allow me to send in my device and buy another(different) one from them for a discounted price or should I try asking them to repair it again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:

Samsung has a policy to any customers that's not satisfied with the product they purchase Samsung can offer to surrender your unit and they will pay the unit as what's the current value of the product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snoozii:
Thank you for the quick reply, I didn't know they had such a policy. Is there a specific department I need to call/ask for in order to get this handled? Or is regular CS the way to go?

They're service center handles that. They're the one will submit report to Samsung for that option
