Hi
I just got my nexus 7, and after few hour of using it I have noticed a yellow spot or tint in my screen at the bottom left corner.
its visible on white backgrounds.
im gonna go to store tomorrow and see if I can get a new unit.
UPDATE: I uploaded a pic of it
does anyone have the same issue?
What store did you buy it from? I seen a lot of complaints about this from folks who purchased at retail stores. Mine was purchase from Google and still waiting on it.

Got it from Sam's club.
I only have the problem when I use the device for long time. I was charging it for couple hours then when I turned it on the screen was fine but after 15 minutes of reading the spots came back.

I got two from sams in IL. Didn't notice any problems on either of em. At least not yet
can you post a picture?
I also got mine from Sams last Friday (Mckinney, Texas) and its perfect with no issues or blemishes. Well, except for having to find a work around for Flash, but that goes without saying. Lol A little fiddling around fixed that though.
These are the pics
U can see the tint on the bottom left also on the whole left edge of the screen.

I went back to Sam's club and they looked at the device and saw the yellow spots on the screen. It took me 15 minutes to walk out of the door with a new unit.
Let's hope this doesn't happen to anyone.

Weird. Did it get smashed or overheated?

Not at all!!
The tint appeared after about one hour of using it, and it gets worse when you use it more than that!!!

This was the first thing i noticed when using my Nexus 7 for a couple of hours. Two spots in two corners, very noticeble with white background.
However I remember hearing about other devices with LCD screens having the same problem initially (iphone 4 one of the devices if I remember) but would dissapear over time. So I thought I would give it some time.
The next day I couldn't see any of the spots and I've not seen it since. This was two weeks ago.

Mine seem to get worse the longer I use the device. I called support and they are issuing me an RMA for "yellowing", but the cart-link system was down and I was instructed to call again tomorrow.

I received my shipment today.
The very first thing I did after signing in was update the system to 4.1.1.
After playing for a few minutes I noticed a dead or stuck pixel on the right side of the screen. I ran the display test app and found another dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
I tried the camera with Google hangouts and Skype and all I get is garbled green signal. Using the nexus 7 camera launched yielded the same result.
Doing a full factory reset did not fix the problems.
Needless to say this going back. I'm disappointed that this excellent device is having these quality issues.
I have a single dead pixel on the very edge. It's only visible on a completely black screen so I'm gonna live with it.
Good luck with your return.

I would recommend you get it exchanged. At the end of the day its still a defect. Maybe wait a little while so they have more stock to ship another one.

I got mine from staples so I'll have to deal with them. I'll wait until they have stock.

They have a little thing in the booklet. I think its referring to dead pixels. It was kind of confusing tho

I saw another post from gamestop but I received mine from play store. And mine seems to be an extreamly bad case: see the picture. Barely useable since its so white. Anyone seen this problem / have any ideas? Also, has anyone had to get a replacement from the play store and have any information about it? Do you get a brand new one?

That is probably just from the camera moving while taking the picture. I've seen at least one other user with a screen that bad. So it may be real.
Mine was looked white and faded at first, however nothing remotely that bad. After about 3 days it seemed to get better. Though it seems most times when I play a video it gets white and faded again, but goes away a few seconds after leaving the video app.
But something that bad, I'm not sure if that'll look normal after a few days or not.

Screen is good compared to what? My screen has awful gamma

I really dont know why the screen doesnt line up, maybe i was holding it at an angle or something, but its legit just watch the vid
I wonder what would happen if you play a video, like the Transformers movie. My screen gets worse after playing videos, but then clears up (though never really looks completely good).

Same thing happens regardless of what im doing. After like 5 minutes of staying on it will only half as bad, but whenever i turn the screen off for more than 2 minutes it goes back to this
So same thing just started affecting me today. First let me start out that I've had 0 issues until today. Went to try one of the root kits and got my N7 rooted updated SU and restarted now its washed out just like whats shown by OP. Could be coincidence who knows. Is this a common defect that takes time to occur?
I bought mine on Monday from office depot. It was great until Thursday morning when it started this exact problem. I'm going back to office depot to exchange it tomorrow. My mom bought one from the Google play store and she hasn't had any of these problems.

That is defective. Exchange it.
Same problem here. It was fine since I got it and now the screen is all washed out.
search for the thread of "screen burn in + washed out", you will find more information on RMA there. I had the same issue and received my replacement in 4 days. the left side of the screen is still a bit lifted on the new one, but that is nothing compared to white out screen.

Hello xda I'm wondering who else has screen lift.
I got my nexus about 5 days ago and my friend right when got it checked for screen lift. It was fine then but I recently noticed it keeps getting worse on my right side!! I'm afraid that it is going to get a lot worse and I don't know what to do? Is there anything that I can do to prevent screen lift?

Just look through the nexus 7 general fourm and the QA forum. There is already a ton of threads about this.

I bought mine with the htc deal a few weekends ago. Ive had it for a while now, and there are two things i have noticed. The area of the back button bends ina littlw if i push on it, it will go in and bend a little and it is very disturbing to me.
On the bottom right of the screen, there is a small streak of light, probably from the home button or something, undwr the screen and it goes a good inch and a half in the screen, on an angle. I think it may have gotten bigger since I have had the phone.
Does anyone else have either of these problems, and what shod I do? I bought it at newegg wireless, not the official sprint store.

take it back, it's defective
Unfortunately i cant provide pictures because the back button thing is not really detectable in a picture, and neither is the white streak of light, i tried. But i bought mine at the newegg wireless store online and it was more than 14 days ago so is there any way of them replacing it?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
contact with HTC, say there's some hardware issues for your mobile phone,maybe they will provide a new one to replace it
Brought my phone in for the dreaded purple hue in low light camera situations. Left it there and went to do some errands while they inspected it. Long story short I go back and he claims that corrosion in the headphone jack caused it. Then says he fixed it by blowing air in there and factory resetting it (I had run the ruu prior to bringing it in.) I grab the phone and go into camera and hold my hand up to the lens and bam still there. He then says "oh. That was the problem with the camera?" To which I responded with yes. And confirms that his claim of supposed corrosion is not the cause.
My question is this: did this tech flag the phone as internally damaged on my account and now I'm f'd and have to pay deductible for an obvious warranty issue or should I definitely take it to a different store?
Thanks
He could have flagged it but the flag is only good for 30 days if he did flag it. The system they use is called eticket. Without know the ticket number it would be very difficult for us to look past 30 days. So if you want it replaced them have the same store do it since they know what they did. If you don't want to deal with their dumbasses again then wait 30 days and go to another store. If you are still having issues then don't go to corporate stores. From my experience your chances of getting a complete **** are a lot higher at corporate locations.

He could not have used eticket if it had corrosion. If it had corrosion, he would have told you to go through asurion because of water damage. He probably didn't even put a ticket through. Call CS and see if there's any notes.

Went to a different store today after work. Replaced phone. Same issue on new one so they are ordering another. Crossing fingers that one is good. They told me its software. Yeah OK.
I've gone through 7 HTC ones. And every single one of them had the camera blue/purple tent during low light situations. I just deal with it. I dont think I've ever seen a one not give that effect..

Haha interesting. I have the red model but haven't tested out the cam yet. Just traded it in the other day so it would match the HTC flip cover. I don't have the purple/blue effect anymore wow this is the first I've seen

Dang, you're One unlucky person. Pun intended. In all seriousness the tint on my HTC One is only around the edges. When it is practically pitch black it will cover the whole screen. So, there re some good ones out there.

How did you go about trading it in?
When the red one came out HTC championship website was giving them away for people that wanted to trade in their current phone. My coworker had a gs3. They gave full trade value. She didn't want the red one but got it for me. I gave her my black One.

My first One didn't have the tint, but something got behind the lens and ruined every picture. It took Sprint 6 hours to determine that it in fact wasn't a scratch on the lens. My refurbished One has the tint but I don't really give a ****. Low light pictures on a smartphone typically ain't gonna be good anyway.
Well damn this thread is totally misleading based on the title ....geez ..
Haha Naw but yeah mine has that bloody low light issue but I made my peace ...if I can put up with the first evo camera ,I can put up with this anyday ..so ..bring it on HTC ..BRINGITON!!!
