has anyone who has had the tablet for a while NEVER seen the blue line? I wonder if this is a problem with 100% of the units.

Thin Blue Line

I have the same problem with the thin blue line.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkLI88:
I tried two from Best Buy the 2nd also had the blue line also after about 20 minutes of use. I also wonder if they all have this issue? I only notice it on mine when I play a movie with the video player app.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalagas:
Hello guys...

I did some tests and I have also the blue line thing after 23 minutes watching full HD video from YouTube.

Then something else came in my mind. A simple but hard to think, to take a screenshot at the time was playing the video in portrait mode.

And guess what. The blue line doesn't appear in the screenshot (try it for yourself by taking a screenshot at the time you notice the blue line, transfer the screenshot to your pc and zoom in as much as you want - the blue line isn't there). This prooves to me that the problem of the blue line is just OUTSIDE the screen and NOT on the screen.

So if something happens it happens at point the display ends and OUTSIDE of it.

I don't know if this issue will cause problems in screen itself in the near future, but I think is a step now we know the blue screen isn't on the screen.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russellmania:
lol this just goes to show how much LG cares about this device. Sounds like every unit has this issue with the screen and they say it's "not a known issue". Sounds like people with the G Pad either need to live with the blue line or take it back b/c I doubt they can fix it. I know the line itself is really thin and hard to see, but I wouldn't be able to live with it and it also makes me concerned that there could be other issues related to heat over time.

@up

I'm going to buy G Pad but this issue (blue line) is worrying for me. Do you have any feedback from the LG support team?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caudex:
Its most likely a design issue. Which I don't think they can fix it without recalling every LG G Pad.

Its not REALLY that bad, slightly noticeable when watching a video in letter box (when the background is black), but it isn't super bright so it won't really annoy you.

If you play games most of the time, you won't even notice it because as long as there is some color going through those pixels, you don't see the blue line.

The blue line is super thin, its like a line of pixels at around 1 inch long. And since this screen is super high res, the line is super thin.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkLI88:
I don't know what you mean by one inch long mine runs the whole length of the screen when it happens. As long as it does not get worse I can live with it I really don't even notice it anymore.

Guys i took the black version after DOA (the white one)..The problem is worse! The blue line is across the whole screen even if my tablet is cold...If i push it the blue line becomes brighter and guess what...I cannt put the brightness at 100% bacause "the device is overheated"...I have to get this for DOA again cause today is the last day of 7...

Lg hellas told me to get it for DOA but they didnt have ane other issue like this before..I send them the pictures and they couldn't believe their eyes..:P

Anyway, sorry for my bad english..i hope LG will do something asap..and for me?? I ia gonna try to take refund and not another pad again..When the new revision come out i see what i'll do because this tablet is the best VFM out there...High end with mid end price. :) :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalagas:
Guys if you remember the heating problem is Qualcomm 600's issue. F.e. galaxy s4 also had it and it fixed through software update.

Mine doesn't overheated at all after 40 minutes watching full HD mkv movie, or after 1 hour browsing. But I also have the blue line. I have the blue line without freaking any heat in back. So I think blue line thing is in all devices, but some users just haven't noticed.

The overheating think, I believe it's only in some devices and not to all.

This is my experience as well mine does not get hot at all but I do get the blue line.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony Tan:
Hello,

Since the receiver in the Nexus 5 is supposed to be able to support "all cellular modes and 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE frequency bands and band combinations that are either deployed or in commercial planning globally" (according to: http://www.qualcomm.com/chipsets/gobi/rf-solutions/rf-transceivers), is it possible to flash the radio firmware so that the American version (D820) can support the other LTE frequencies (such as LTE B3 1800), and the international version (D821) to support the American frequencies?

(References: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/170166-nexus-5-excellent-global-coverage-perplexing-lte-support

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/170166-nexus-5-excellent-global-coverage-perplexing-lte-support

and remember, it's just the transceiver. other components must support the bands as well (antenna, modem chip (inside the Snapdragon 800 SoC) itself, power amplifier...)

// would also like to know the (physical) differences, eg chip vs software/baseband/firmware differences? so far on google, people just say "D820 v D821 = here is a list of LTE bands they each support"
[Asus Transformer TF700] yugendreams:
Which do you prefer and why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] redheadplantguy:
I have actually never ran anything except Cromi since 2.something. Always been happy with it
[Asus Transformer TF700] yugendreams:
One thing that has turned me off is that it's not running 4.3 and therefore doesn't have the quick settings pulldown like in CM 10.2.

Also I have purchased a theme I really like for CM 10.2 and I don't know if Cromi has themes. Basically I know a bit about CM because I use it on my phone but I know next to nothing about Cromi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
CROMi-X now comes with xposed framework and gravity box - you can customize the quick settings pulldown any which way (if you choose the 4.2 launcher style - you can still choose the 4.1 launcher if you prefer). CROMi-X now also comes with ROM2SD = dual boot capability (run the 2nd rom on your microSD - which is actually faster than the slow internal memory). Doesn't work with CM as the 2nd rom yet - but the devs are getting closer :D

But I haven't run a CM ROM in a year - so what do I know? :cool:

It comes down to personal preference.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Why doesn't it work for you? CM was my first test ROM for ROM2SD...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not like Bernd to fall behind :)

Yes can confirm CM can be run fine as rom2sd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
LOL, I am even further behind because I don't have a chance to run the Rom2sd....:silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
True! But it is damn hard to keep up with you guys! LOL

I'm in freaking Dallas for the week and I didn't get the card I ordered in time. I never got the Scandisk Extreme to work with ROM2SD :(

I just hope it was the card and not my inability to use Gparted correctly! That would be embarrassing! :blush:

But I tell you, I am sitting on the edge of my seat here and experiencing serious withdrawal because I can't wait to play with ROM2SD! :gnashingmyteeth:

So some days ago I noticed that I had no Internet outdoors..

Even a reboot, switching to flight mode and back, clearing cache didn't solve it.

So I switched from 4.2.2 to 4.3 (Hellybean - which is awesome <3).

But my problem persists. It refuses to make a data connection.

What I did so far:

-enable all roaming options

-click almost every button in the *#*#4636#*#*

-delete APN settings and enter it manually

-delete APNs and request the from my provider (config sms)

-switch to 2G

Here's a relevant log:

*REMOVED*

Please tell me, somebody has got an idea on how to fix it. I don't think I can afford a new phone atm...

Thanks in advance <3

UPDATE:

It works with my other SIM (different carrier)....

SOLVED

It was my carrier...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ustaadx:
Hey everyone!

I got my Nexus 5 last week and I feel that one of the features that is often overlooked in most of the reviews and forums is the "Tap & Pay" feature using NFC. I didn't try it out myself till a few days ago and it has turned out to be one of my top reasons to love the Nexus 5.

After you link the google wallet app to Tap & Pay and setup a pin, you are able to use your phone to make payment at PoS devices that support this feature. Now, a lot of people say this is very limited but I live and work in Jersey/NYC and a lot of major retailers have this option. ShopRite/ Walmart/ NYC cabs/ Pharmacies etc.

The best part is the look on people's faces when i whip out my Nexus 5, complete my transaction with a light tap and answer their questions with "It's the new Nexus 5 !! " Even my friends who have HTC One/S4/iPhone can't compete with that because they can't have google wallet due to stupid carrier/bank restrictions. Their version of google wallet, Isis, is nowhere as good and iBeacon (ios) isn't releasing anytime soon.

If you live in a major city, then there are bound to be a lot of places where this will come in handy. Anyone else have any experiences with Tap & Pay?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onmike:
Definitely a cool feature. I tried this out last week for the first time ever. I have to see how many stores have this feature in Miami / ft Lauderdale. Coming from ios this say never possible.

Will be in NY next week
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mevensen:
Definitely a cool feature, but not limited to N5. I love the reaction I get when I use my phone for payment. Just today, at Sports Authority, I used Tap and a Pay, the cashier was definitely surprised, she asked about it and was so disappointed to hear that iPhones can't do the same thing. :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawalty:
The REAL and the only reason why I returned my Note3 back to T-Mobile, is for this tap-&-pay service through Google Wallet.

I really really do enjoy Google wallet with my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjoebob:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I'm so desperate to have this in the UK as well! Does anyone have it working here?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
You'd have to get the cards into google wallet, which it won't let you here.

OTOH since most of the functionality is now in the OS, it's entirely possible someone could write a tap & pay app using that framework that worked in the UK.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BiznessMan:
Since I live in Salt Lake City, I was in the test market for Isis. I must say it was pretty neat to be able to use my Note 2 to tap and pay to get on the transit system. The bad thing was, half way through my ride back home my phone died. The police on the transit system have NFC scanners that they use to verify if you actually paid with that device or not so having a dead phone wouldn't prove that you made a payment. In that case they either give you a ticket for a first offense or fine you and kick you off at the next stop. Thankfully they didn't check in time for me to get off at my stop.

I only used Google Wallet twice and it worked just as well as Isis, if not a bit faster.

I will say though, its either really cool when it works but its also really embarrassing when it doesn't. A few times I tried tapping the phone and nothing happened. Pretty awkward situation :(

How do you know if a register is NFC enabled? Is there a sign or something where you would normally swipe a card or something that says tap here?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDBearCT:
I've been using NFC payment on my N4, and before that on a rooted S3 with the Xposed patch for Google Wallet. It always surprises people when I pay with my phone, and one woman (who runs a Pho restaurant near my offices) has to show everyone when I come in and pay with my phone.

I find a few things humorous about ISIS:

- ISIS is not available on the Nexus series of phones, even though they have the hardware and software to support it.

- ISIS SIMs are not available locally through the carrier, even after launch.

I hope ISIS succeeds, but if it doesn't I hope that Google will buy the consortium out and integrate them into Wallet.

Look for either the NFC, Mastercard PayPass, Google Wallet, or Isis logos. Lot of the registers here in SLC has the Isis and Paypass logos.

These Utah cops don't play around. I'm not quite sure how the scanner actually determines whether or not you paid though. Maybe the device stores an ID in the system or something. They've been using the technology for years since University Students get an NFC card that grants them free rides.
