Ah crap. Black dots under screen.

Didn't notice it until I turned up the brightness (I just bragged about having a flawless device less than a minute ago) and I noticed dark spots in the screen.
I'm going to call them up and see what they say. Sucks. It doesn't look like much, but it's very obvious when scrolling since it doesn't move with the rest of the screen. Only the circled area is affected. It looks like a dead pixel at first, but it's much bigger and has a "blur" around it.

Pics?

None here....

I'm on hold waiting for them to answer, I'll post a pic of it in a few minutes. It's right in the middle of the screen too.

added pic. It's much bigger than the picture lets on, and has a liquid looking blur around it.

No black dots on mine. 16GB received today. Strangely enough, mine had no plastic covering on the bezel, while my friend's 8GB model did (4 small strips, one for each side).

Mine didn't have them either. I was wondering about that when I opened it.
I've been on hold for 30 minutes already.

Got the RMA, I get to keep my phone until the new one arrives, so I am happy. Turnaround should be less than a week to receive the replacement. I wonder if it's going to be backordered...lol

Through Google directly. They are handling the devices themselves for the time being. Not like with the SGN and Nexus 7 devices, where you had to go through Samsung or Asus directly.

Google is probably handling RMA's for now, but later on it will be handed over to LG With crappy support, and they will ask you to pay shipping.

I thought RMA's for Nexus devices were always done by Google?

My 16 gig had plastic strips all around the sides and top of the phone.

The RMA process with Google is very good. I had to send two Nexus 7s back and it was an easy process. The only issue I had was that I didn't receive a TNT shipping label with my first replacement so I actually had 3 devices for 2 days while I waited for the shipping label.

Damn. I got the shipping labels before I even hung up. He said it would take up to a day, and it had me slightly worried...lol At least I have a phone I can beat the hell up with no regrets. Only thing that sucks is that I need to leave the phone stock for now.

i wouldn't go that far. If it has noticeable damage they will charge you for the device.

Exact opposite
You need to return it in "good" condition (scratches are fine, but no cracks). Software wise, mess with it all you want, then
Code:
fastboot -w update "Devices Image from Google"
fastboot oem lock

I don't mean to be an ass but Google better get all those backordered phones out to us before sending out your (or anyone else's) RMA'd phones.

What about the much bigger blurry spot to the right of your circle? Closer to the right edge of the picture. That looks considerably worse to me.

Hope the dude with the spots who said he didn't notice until he turned the brightness up tried cleaning his screen...

last years screen shot from carphone had nexus 4 white in stock so i wouldnt put to much faith into them...

Right, I just phoned Gary at CW.
He didn't have any in stock straight away, but when i told him to search LGNEXUS5WHIT he saw it on the screen,....he was pretty shocked that I knew what he should search.
Anyway, he said they are in stock but there's nothing he can do about reserving it etc.
he game me his number and name and said he'd be happy to keep checking. I told him he'll probably be inundated with calls tonight enquiring anyway.

I think I remember that as well
I'm going to go ahead and get excited about this anyways :highfive:

Ok so starting to get a little worried here.
They show 2 versions available (Black and Black & White) but are both 16GB versions? I mean what are the chances Google will launch 4 different versions of this phone in both colors and both in 16 & 32 GB versions?

New Nexus On The Horizon?

I don't know if this has been posted before, I searched around but couldn't find anything on it. I don't know if this is a sign of a new nexus coming soon, but I just had to do a RMA on my nexus 5 because the screen is turning white at the top, and when i asked if i would be getting a refurb phone as a replacement, he said that 2 weeks ago google switched to using nothing but refurb phones as replacements for the nexus 5 because it is now classified as "out of production" in their internal systems. It sounds to me like they are ramping down production in preparation for something new, but it might also just be their excuse for going to using refurb phones as replacements lol.

well, expect a new nexus in october/november, and its not that far away..

Yeah that's when one is expected, I just thought it was a interesting piece of info with all talk floating around about the nexus line being fazed out, they woulding be putting it as "out of production" unless something was taking it's place soon.

[Q] ATT Boot Animation/Logo?

Hello guys and gals!!
Is theres any way to remove the annoying ATT&T Boot Animation/Logo? I hate it so much!

I'm with you there. I took back a note 4 just because of that. I believe there is a spot that Motorola has for vendors to put in their own boot animation. I remember there was a post for it on the general Nexus 6 area, but not 100% on that, maybe in the AT&T Nexus 6 thread. It would be a great place to start searching though.

Fake original plastic screen on this galaxy note 4 SM-n910t T-mobile version?

This is a picture of the phone. I have never seen this original screen protector on this phone before. Usually its the one with the white pen pointing straight upward. Can anyone tell me if this is real?

I just checked out a video and it seems like this front original sticker is the exact same sticker used for the galaxy note 3 but they replaced the 3 with a 4 for this one. Its fake! There is a video of a guy unboxing a known galaxy note 4 clone and it has this exact same sticker.

If you look closely, the ambient light and proximity sensors are a bit under the front speaker, while an original note has its sensors a bit over it. So it's a replica.

Best bet would be call Samsung. The made it in 2 different plants and are packaged different. Even different boxes
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S

Looks very fishy to me.
Where do you get this phone from?

Any pictures of the actually phone? Been seeing some Note 3 stuffed into note 4 boxes.

It was a craigslist deal. Now I haven't actually bought it yet. I decided not to. Its too risky. Thanks for your reply

I recommend to download and leave the apk on a removable media so you can test if original or fake https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Try the following Youtube links for spotting fake note 4's. Very helpful.

Meet up at a T-Mobile store; or buy direct from a reliable source. I really hate the "opportunist" ways of some people in society.
I used Craigslist to buy/sell my devices all the time up until say two years ago.
So sad people always trying to get over. It's not worth it to get ripped off anymore people are so evil and try to insult your intelligence.
