Ooooo you're smooth ;) Haaahaaa.... good one! He'd probably say, in an accent of course, " sweet?? She gonna kill me! She crazy! Feedin the donuts to da birds! Crazy girl"!
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Well, Uncle DH is right. How dare you feed a sweet buttery french cruller to the birds? You dirty hamster!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Birds gotta eat too! It's winter!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Ok, need help guys. This RMA vs original is driving me crazy. I know I've asked before, but I'm asking again. I'm not saying which is the rma and which is the original...they both have the brightness all the way down. One has super bright whites, while the other has darker blacks. One looks much clearer, one looks like it has a gray film over it. Debating if maybe it's the factory plastic that's causing one to look so much "foggier", for lack of a better word. Ok, ready, set, go! Left or right?
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Both stock kernel? Some of the devs uses their own "color" thing to tweak..

[Nexus 4 General] kcls:
I like the one on the right better.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I'd go with the right. The phone on the left looks too bright and washed out, especially since you said it was set to a low brightness.

BTW, if Uncle DH can make this, I will move up there immediately.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
They are both set to 0 brightness.

And that is the nastiest looking thing I think I've ever seen. You would eat that? For real? Like I'm being serious, really? You'd eat that?

Yes, both are on the exact same thing, same kernel/rom/theme/brightness, everything.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Ok, Andrea... the one on the right is darker of course but ALSO, the factory film SUCKS. It's dingy, it's not nearly as optically clear as a real screen protector. I noticed this right away. Keep that damn RMA! :)

Oh, so my phone is an old rev10. Don't care about that as much as the fact that the volume rocker has a scuff looking line on it, not a scratch... unlike the last replacement. Also a black dot on the bezel that is of course another finish imperfection. The coupe de grace is that after I take off the really dusty looking factory film, I have a dot of a screen chip in it. It's very shallow, almost like a pin of a scratch. But guess what... I'm keeping the damn thing. Otherwise it seems nice, bins fast, can actually do a damn run of antutu and benches fine. Not quite charging yet to 100 percent, but its about the same in screen quality. I'm convinced that every one of these has what I would define as light bleed. Both of the last two replacements have the same amount of light bleed, and an amount that I would consider to be less than my original and that don't bleed past the status bar, even in 100% brightness. In normal light I can't see it. Good enough for me. My standards have been lowered. I think I'm not going nuts becuase the screen spot isn't caused by me and it is a dot, not a scratch and is not visible under the screen protector I just applied. I care more about function now. I rationalize all this by the amount of time I waste worrying about my orders going through and dealing with google. If the screen takes a dump, or the speaker dies, or I have another problem, I will LG warranty the damn thing.

I probably should have just kept the original phone, but the half yellow screen was very dull when the yellow went away... the top remained sharp. Both the phones I'm holding on to look fine. The last replacement's yellow went away, and I'm sure this one will too in a week or two. I know even after all this grief I'll be there at opening bell ordering off the play store to get the next nexus that comes out. I also know that if I have a little advanced notice, that I'll get probably 250-300 for this thing and that I'll only be paying 50-100 more for a brand new nexus from whatever manufacturer they choose the next time around. Time to actually get to use this phone. Only thing left I'm waiting for is my BSE case fit screen protectors. I love this bumper, but I want the option of using other cases. If seidio comes out with their case without the kick stand, I'll get one of those and a holster... as this is the first phone I've owned from google that isn't a "curved" screen. Seidio makes great soft-touch hard cases that interlock as long as the phone doesn't have a curve to the screen.

Again, keep your new phone. Warranty for the zigs if they bother you but don't keep the original as the new one has better blacks, less bleed, better colors, a speaker that works, and a better battery!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Even with it not having whites as white as the other? If that made sense... Lol

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Jayrod, do you know which one is the RMA in the picture?

You just described both phones.... Better black's is the original, better colors is the RMA. Less bleed is the original, I think... Speaker of course is the RMA. I'm gonna kill you!!!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] legend618:
I swear google should never use LG again...:(
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I think jayrod will disagree with me, but I concur! I knew better than to get another lg phone after owning the g2x. People would say " that was software, they are just building the nexus 4". Hogwash! Never again will I get an lg. This time I mean it.

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

And I need to add that my RMA when on silent does the most aggravating clicking sound, like some sort of noise is trying to come through. Hate it. It really bothers me. More than the zig zag in the rubber and line in the bezel.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Ok then Andrea... return the RMA, keep the original and send it into LG for repair. Problem solved... but for heaven's sake, don't do what I did and go through another RMA. You will have your old phone back probably faster than a replacement would come in and your speaker would be replaced. Problem solved! You could also complain about the light bleed and batter being hot or something like that and they would replace that too. That a better answer for you? If you are going to be driven crazy I think this would be the best solution. I found another thing wrong as well with the replacement that is going back. On a black screen the thing has a dark band! That's right... like on SAMOLED screens. In pure black backgrounds with a little bit of light, the right side of the screen has an 1/8th of an inch band that's darker that runs down the entire screen. That plus the pixelation and reboots and lack of ability to undervolt or run bench marks is enough for me to say screw it with the minor exterior blemishes and keep the 4th phone. Since it is a revision 10, I REALLY am wondering whether this is really a refurb. It said new on the order but who knows really how LG works.

And also, I don't disagree with your LG assumption... but I still believe it's google's nexus contract that is the real culprit. Plenty of HTC phones and Samsungs have their widespread problems, it just seems based on the amount of Nexus devices that I've owned that they cut corners on all of them to get cheap devices in the hands of people wishing a stock experience. Otherwise how could they account for the Galaxy Nexus problems (lowest amount of all of the play devices... but the phone wasn't originally a play store device), the VAST majority of N7's having screen lift and light bleed, the N10's horrible deformation and light bleed (the glass actually bows excessively with pressure, causing the light bleed and shell deformation), and the N4 having shoddy bezels, light bleed, exterior defects, etc. Every Nexus device I've owned, including the Nexus S (had SEVEN of those too) came dusty inside the box, etc. Google just has a method to these things and it's not the same treatment you would get for a phone that's more expensive. Hopefully they will change this in the future. If they make the Moto X line of phones as flagships that get updates straight from google, I guarantee you I will buy one of those. If it's just some Moto blur replacement that's a wannabe iPhone, I'll be back in line with the Play store yet again.

That a better answer for ya?

By the way, the one on the right looks better. Sure, it is a little dimmer, but the colors are more uniform. The one on the left looks like it has a yellow wash from the bottom left extending diagonally upward.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Haahaa....it's not that I want you to say to keep the original, I value your opinion, and when you described my original and rma it wasn't clear to me which you were saying to keep. I got confused. :D I really don't know which to keep, I change my mind everyday. That's why I ask you guys. May this be my only problem in life. *sigh*

I can't believe you're keeping the rma, but it becomes very tiring dealing with this. I won't go through another rma, no way!

Are you happy with it though? Nothing about it will bother you later on?

Maybe I should keep both phones. That'll fix the issue :D

The one on the right, is the original. Well, still going to test both thought the weekend and come Monday one is going back. Probably my rma. Which means I'll have to deal with google for a new form. Ugh.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Tempest790:
I definitely want to get the Lumia 920 AT&T cyan color. But, I do like the deep blue almost purple of the HTC 8X. I've been checking the new WP8 color palette and I think the cobalt blue is about as close as you can get without any hacking the colors. I know some people dye their plastics (key caps on keyboards are a good example of this) and was thinking maybe dyeing the cyan portion of the Lumia 920 shell using RIT dye. Using a color mixer, it appears that 60-80% magenta would bring about the desired result and would make the phone match the cobalt blue theme. Plus, it would make the phone color completely unique.

I'm going to order some cheap cyan colored plastic and try and see if I can get the desired result. I'll report back with pics when I get some samples if anyone else is interested in this. The possibilities are pretty limitless since we now have a white Lumia available too. Imagine taking the yellow Lumia and dyeing it to match the orange tiles, or a custom pink for the white Lumia.

This will be my first Lumia, so is it fairly easy to remove the shell?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldDogEyes:
Over the past week+, even before the latest update, Google Search has been acting wonky...

Note: I am often in an environment that isn't ideal for voice searches, so all my searching is initiated by tapping the search bar. I don't know if the problems that I am reporting occur with voice initiated searches...

Many times when I search no search results will come up... it will just sit there...

Clicking on images at the bottom always brings up results and then clicking back on web sometimes 'wakes up' search and produces search results.

Searching from within Chrome by typing a search on the URL bar always works and doesn't exhibit this problem...

What I have done to try to remedy it:

> Uninstalled Google Search updates and gone back to factory

> Force stopped three apps/services and cleared data: search, voice search and google services framework

> Removed and reinstalled my Google Account from the device

None of those steps fixed the problem...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Note: I am totally stock with an unlocked bootloader...

Thanks...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mallieman:
I've been scanning the site and seen many threads on bootloader unlocking on the atrix but I'm still not sure which method to use! I don't want to be bricking my phone in anyway and I understand about OTA updates from then on, sbf files and so forth. My understanding is that you can not flash a different sbf file to the one I already have! I might have that wrong though. My phones firmware is

System version: 45.31.0.MB860.ORANGE.EN.GB

Android version: 2.3.4

Using Giffgaff sim at min, phone is not locked to orange.

Any help with a direction to a good tut for unlocking my bootloader would be mint.

Head over to this page and get Android 4.2 camera AND gallery app working for ICS and JB! (Use the ZIP file link).

Tested working on CM 9.1 stable. Gallery FCs every once in a while when in "Edit" mode! However since LWW doesn't have a gyroscope, I can't really experience PhotoSphere. Try flashing on phones that do have one (like the Xperia S/P/T). Does it work for you?

For some 2011 MDPI devices,like mini or mini pro,CM10 uses the legacy camera as a workaround,so I think it couldn't work for the time being.

As for CM9,i.e. FXP's roms,the 4.2 camera works with a functional preview.But,of course,Photosphere can't work well due to lacking in Gyroscope.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinallen4325:
Its more about Verizon. I'm am att customer atm and was thinking about switching over to Verizon to get the galaxy note 2. Has anyone had experience with both providers? Amy thoughts on either?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Verizon does many things right, but also many things wrong.

They offer great coverage and speeds. Their plans are a bit pricey, but considering what you get it isn't to be unexpected. Many of us on VZW have unlimited data plans too, which you can no longer get, so it is irrelevant, but most don't want to leave to other carriers for these 3 reasons.

Here is downside about VZW, many people have had a bad experiences in terms of customer service. I've dealt with VZW many times, such as they convinced my sister to get off her unlimited data plan and wouldn't add on some features that my dad took off 5 minutes later by accident.

They get phones late relative to other carriers and they do things that most other carriers do not do (e.g. home button branding).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yyhd:
This really sums it up pretty well.

I've had (and still use for work) AT&T. My personal phone is Verizon.

From my experience and where I live, Verizon has much better reception and call clarity. I hate how AT&T claim they have a more robust LTE connection because they really do not.

But yes, Verizon CS sucks.
