I rotate the phone 180 degrees to let you see another side
How do you judge it? I think mine isn't that bad.

you need to put on something that is black background to see it. i can see it across the top and bottom , i can also see it very similair on my tv if i look at it the same way looking up into it. its there adn you can see it but its not that noticable unless your looking for it on mine. the pics the other poster showed were definaltey worse than mine. This does not make me regret the purchase at all.
i cant really see it at all when its the standard white bar across the top on froyo.

How about this one? Get "draw!" from market.
I have to put a dot at the center in order to take picture.
Added a pic of MT4 under similar situation (using draw!), but since the screen is less sensitive, I have to draw a small circle instead of the dot.

If you have to ask if it's bad....it's not bad.

[Q] Icons on the top of the homepage

I tried to search but without any useful information. I can tell some of the icons: bluetooth, mobile carrier, battery, time, but one icon: inclined rectangle. Where can i have the information? Is there a user manual for nexus 5? Thanks.

Are you referring to the Google search widget on top of the home screen? Or 3 rectangles stacked on each other on the quick settings menu?
The top right?

Do you mean the vibrate symbol maybe? Turn the volume up, does it disappear?

It might be the search widget. Here is the picture and the icons are on top right in each screen.

Ahh that diagonal rectangle is showing that your phone is in vibrate mode. Use volume up to fix that.
Bluetooth, vibrate, service, battery, time.

I should add, there is a user manual on Play Books. It's free

Simplified settings menu on Verizon S8+

For those like myself who don't care for Verizon's "butchered" settings menu, press the 3 for menu in settings and select "view as simplified list".

Been doing this with every phone since lollipop. Just easier to find things in my opinion since Android's settings have looked that way since I can remember.

Samsung Cloud?
Is Samsung Cloud available or did Verizon remove that also, like they did with Note 7?

I actually really like settings the other way, and the unlocked rom and a fresh verizon rom install do not have the option. Any idea how I can put it back?

See not there

I too have no three dot button to change back to the normal settings. If anyone knows of a way to get it back I would love to hear it. For some stupid reason the unlocked firmware doesn't give you the option

This is what you have to enter to bring three dots back. As I can see it is carrier-dependent feature.

Very weird problem about the emergency button in lock screen

Hi everyone,
The wired problem is every time I press that button, it won't show my emergency info but reboot my phone signal(signal bar will be empty with a "x" then come back automatically). It worked before, and I think this happened after I rooted my phone with Magisk.

Any ideas about this? Thanks in advance.
Basic phone info: stock Rom 8.1, stock kernel
Solved: Because of a misconfigured theme file.

I think the phone changes (or resets?) some network configs as part of enhanced emergency services in preparation for you to dial 911. I just checked and mine does it too although I don't know about previous phones or android versions. I'm inclined to think it's more of a feature than is apparent.

Might be, but when it was working, it would show my emergency contact info. Right now nothing happened only got this problem (and just found the left up corner also said no service no sim card), and also no dial panel to dial 911

Question Power button level - hardware issue "in the future"?

Hello friends,
I have a hardware related question to ask.
Is this a faulty power button??
I bought 3 of this phone, so I can compare between them.
One of them had the power button slightly sinking into the phone body.
(# 3 is the one with the lower level of the power button)

}
All 3 of them are functional "NOW", but I'm worried if the #3 button will further sink into the machine "in the future", and at that time the warrant might have expired, so I will have to pay for the "wear and tear".
If this is likely a possibility in the future, gonna request a new one exchange.
Thanks
#1 : blue
#2 : bronze
#3 : black

Mine is almost completely flat too, pretty much like your #3. Nothing to worry about I hope
