My new refurb from tmo

So I had to get a refurb do to a spill accident I had with my original phone. My original phone was great, no complaints and the screen bleed was barely noticeable. Now with the new one its worse but still not really noticeable during normal use. How ever I figured I would take some pics of it to see how it compares to others on here before I go and try out another refurb. What do you guys think, is this the normal bleed everyone has or is this pretty bad?

That kind of looks like my first g2x. I will be getting my refurb one a bit later today from asurion, I just hope its not any worse than what I had before.

Doesn't look bad to me either. I just recently replaced my G2x and the screen on mines has very little to no screen bleed at all even in complete darkness my screen is perfect. I received this phone 2 days ago (July 12). I'll take some pictures when I get home.

I would say keep it, it doesn't look too bad, and it doesn't really get in the way unless you watch a lot of movies. I received my refurb today and it is worse than what I had. This one has noticeable white spots on both upper corners instead of one like my original.

Got the nexus. And one dead pixel.

First one. White 32gb. And I have one dead pixel.everything else is great. Its not too noticeable and I'm sure there are people out there with worse that do not know.
My question is would you send it back over one if everything else is good and you're happy? To possibly get a worse device?
And if I kept it. My one year warranty can't I send it back and rma on the 11th month if I really wanted?

Hell yea I would send a new device back over a dead pixel, you shouldn't have dead pixel.
Contact google about RMA asap, don't compromise about the level of quality of your device.

With the amount of pixels in these phones its very likely you will get at least one dead pixel. If it really bothers you that much then go ahead and RMA it. Most likely though you will get another device with 1 or more dead or stuck pixels.

..so you send it back over and over until you get a perfect one. You aren't paying for a defective phone.

well you paid for a 100% perfect device
surely go for RMA

This is something you could do of course. I would keep it if it werent near the middle of the screen myself but I would also factor in things such as CPU binning, as well as any other defects like the vibration motor. Don't know how common that is since I haven't visited that thread for a while but if I had a near perfect device with a high CPU binning and the pixel wasn't very noticeable I would accept it. If i had a cruddy CPU binning in i would certainly send it in hoping for a perfect screen and high binning. Its a surprise Google RMAs devices with 1 dead pixel. Most displays have a certain threshold that must be reached and its usually higher than 3.

Same here. I had one dead pixel...so of course did a RMA. I was like you and contemplated dealing with it, but then I realized I didn't get a discount for the dead pixel So the phone should be perfect.
My RMA replacement shipped today.

All depends on what you're willing to live with. There are 2,073,559 other pixels that are working, so, me, I would live with it. Beats going without the Nexus 5 for an unknown period of time.

You would keep your nexus til your new one arrives, so your never without a phone. Plus my RMA took about 5 days to get me a new phone, including a weekend.

Why? If you can get a free replacement with minimal effort on your part, why not?

I have 3 that I can see that are brighter. Look like stuck BUT even though I know where they are, I just can't see them at normal brightness levels. The density is tight enough that dust looks bigger. I am not bothering with RMAs. I guess I am not that picky.

got one dead pixel
got one dead pixel on the nav bar to the left of recent button.
going to replace it today itself.
got it yesterday.!

I have bought several devices with LCD's over the last couple years and no dead pixels. We are no longer in 2005.
Send it back OP.

I bought today 16 GB black.. I have one dead pixel but its not noticeable in 0% brightness.. Its hard to notice on 100% brightness.
Should I replace mine?

Does it bother you? If so, then yes. I think you should either way, because even if it doesn't bother you yet, it will play on your mind. You didn't pay for a broken one, even if the defect seems slight!

I don't quite get how spending $400+ and expecting something to be exactly what you paid for is classified as "picky". Maybe you were raised with a silver spoon or something, but this isn't a $10 eBay purchase.
I wasn't "bothered" at all with a simple phone call to Google for my free replacement.
To each his own though.

[Q] Nexus 5 to OnePlus One

planning to replace my N5 with an OPO, worth it or not?

Is it worth it to you?
Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk

Make your own decision

I did the same thing, now my wife has OPO and I'm back to Nexus 5.
I'm rather picky about display, and OPO has this yellow gradient discoloration at the bottom of the display. That is caused by the hardware design, so it is mabe by manufacturer (JDI) intentionaly (forget about that it will go away after some time or that it is caused by the glue or that UV will make it disappear).
JDI display manufacturer made LCD backlight diffuser semi-opaque at thar area to minimise light leakage but side effect is that yellow diacoloration (piss effect).
It bothers me, but my wife cant even notice it, so if you don't mind this go for it.
And OPO camera has rather slow shutter speed (if you capture moving object you will have ghosting wich you can't avoid (never PERIOD))...
Take this in consideration and make the choice...
For any further info (both devices in the reach of my hands) I'm available...cheers...

Realy...noooo...you think...so wise...

"Any day now..."

Was in an AT&T store today and met a rep from LG there. I asked him about the V10, and he said that the Marshmallow update should be coming any day now. I want to exchange my 6S+ for an LG V10, but oh man that Note 5 in gold was stunning (as well as the screen)! But would take the LG because of SD card and removable battery.

LG will release it then At&t will have to get their grubby little hands on it... I'm not expecting it until Jan/Feb at the earliest. I'd love to be wrong though....

Maybe root will be possible with Marshmallow.

Someday more likely, and if AT&T gets their hands on it..... It will probably be a cut, botched, and locked down version.

The Note 5 also has complete fail memory management (I own one). You're much better off with just about any other phone, unless you like having every single app reload every time you multitask back to it. LG has always done really well with the memory management.

Hoping it will come soon. Funny thing - if I still had my G3 I would have marshmallow already...

Samsung's screens sucks. Every Samsung phones I've seen at any stores have burnt in from that stupid demo loop.

If you want to trade that iPhone hit me up

That only happens to display models. No one is going to keep their screen on 24/7 with the same static images coming on repetitively. Samsung screens are great once you change the default screen setting to a more natural setting.

I see S5s with screen burn all the time...

Funny how all iphones, LG and MS Lumia phones have similar demo modes with screen on the same duration as Samsungs and none of them have screen burn ins like Samsung.

Then you should look at some LG G Flex's. There's plenty of them with screen burn in. Happens to all oled/amoled screens even those not on Samsung products. I never had screen burn in and I had every galaxy phone since the first S1.. It's a trade off almost, you're trading ok lcd quality for superior image/refresh rate at the risk of some burn in which usually takes about two years of normal use to develop and by then you've moved on to another device so chances of it happening are rare. Unless you're buying the display model, I really don't see how this is even a debate.

Gonna need a spare battery cuz the battery life sucks on this phone. The back buttons are a pain as well. Everything else about the phone is amazing.

Yeah, I can't make it close to a full day without recharging. And, I missed the free battery and charger by a month. I think they knew the battery life sucked and that's why they offered a free spare to "early adopters" SMH

I can go for about 15hr that's when I get back to my hotel from work and still have 40%. That's using my phone for videos on a bus for a hour each way to the plant. Videos at lunch and Facebook,Pandora, Bluetooth ( watch and headphones). Battery life is great for me

A big battery eater can be disabled. Under About Phone, you can uncheck Activity Logs. Got noticeable battery improvements after disabling this. Hope this helps :good:

And stillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll waiting.
What in the world is going on, and why do the G3 & G4 get it before the V10?

Looks like it's getting pushed out on the international V10s.

I'm so annoyed with the lack of support on this phone going to the S7 edge. I had more high hopes for the second screen and the fingerprint scanner. I still have issues with it unlocking frequently. And this whole not getting an update when it was supposed to get it back in December... Meh

Did anyone else G5 come with scuffs under the tray that hold the sd and sim card? Should I try and get it swapped out through t-mobile?

I honestly don't even see any scuffs
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk

Don't see anything either. Better pictures maybe?

I thought I did but they were clear stickers really.

Sorry I already exchanged the phone, but the dent is in the middle under the tray that holds the sim and micro sd card.

It looks fine!

I haven't examined mine. The reason I haven't, is that I'm OCD and will most definitely find SOMETHING on any phone I get. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've actually worked on this with my therapist, lol. All I did was check it for dead pixels. I'm putting it in a case tomorrow and am going to try my hardest to not check for defects.

I went to a tmobile store see how it looks and the store model had the bottom part way off, it had a few centimeters off, it wasn't flushed to the metal, i said for showing what will happen to thia phone if i would purchase it, very bad store display to show of the new phone, i said i will probably get the nexus 6p, he said we don't carry that, i said i would get a unlocked version with 64gb at Google or newegg.
Ive been a sammy guy since the htc m7, and i had the htc smartphone with windows htc tmobile dash,, then htc touch then touchpro then evo, from the 1st htc, then i went to samsung galaxy s2, s3, note 2, 3, 4.. now gonna see, i hate crapple, but maybe will see the apple 7 plus..

LOL @ OCD.
Well, for all us OCD folks, I highly recommend the Otterbox Defender. We got them for free (normally $50 each) from a TMobile rep hook up via telephone sales. They also gave us Puregear Extreme Impact custom fit screen protectors too ($25), free, in case we did want to use the Otterbox (which also has a screen protector anyway).

Does anybody else have a small gap at the bottom? I mean where the module pops out.

I have a tiny gap. I can only see it if I shine a light behind it and look directly at it but it is there.
I really love the phone so not sure if I should care or not.

For me, it's not a problem about what will happen to the phone if I drop it or anything, it's more about obsessing over there being a problem with it right after opening it up. Screen coloration issues, scratches, etc. And the worst part is having that thought that, "Well I could exchange it and get a perfect one. There's always that chance." That's never worked out. I've returned and exchanged so many phones just from obsessing. The solution is to just use the phone. Not matter what. The 4th R: (read the book Brain Lock for info on the 4 R's). Do what you would be doing if you weren't having this obsession.
Easier said than done lol.
