Does anyone else have this same problem?
My Pixel (Silver) has a black border around the display which is normal to see on white-faced phones, but the black border is thicker on the left side of the display than on the right, top, and bottom.
It's not a big deal, I just want to know if this is normal. The picture is attached.
Thanks!

I can post more pictures for you guys if you want me to.
But if you look close enough at the picture above, you'll see that the left border is more noticeable than the right, top, and bottom.
Here are more pictures of the uneven black border around the display.
Haha, you're more OCD than me! I'm looking hard and can barely tell.

Fair enough. It's just a minor annoyance. You can tell in the post with the 2 pictures that there's a bigger border. But I'm sure I'll get over it haha

Yeah I could tell once I looked at the top border by comparison. Top = right, top =/= left. You're correct!

Really haha? That's good to know though, because it might just be the way the phone is. Can you snap a pic of it?
I could but loading up a screen with a white background it looks identical to what you posted. The display seems to be shifted slightly to the right. I'm curious if it's a quality control thing that was missed.

Yeah that's certainly possible. I don't find it that big of a deal though. Especially now that I know it's not just one device. The fact that you have it, assures me it's a widespread issue.
I think it's because they tried to slim down the black border as much as they could that little defects will pop up more frequently. Just a guess though

How about the other 2 pictures I posted after the original, does your phone look like that when you look close?
Try going on the Messenger app. It's more noticeable with the blue color at the top.
Yep, like I said. Identical to what you posted. I'm not concerned with it. Most of my apps and such run a dark theme anyway so it is definitely not noticable unless I "look" for it.

Hi Guys,
I had the atrix last week and I was going to paint the back cover (professionally). But I now have the galaxy s 4g, so I want to paint these instead.
I would like to know what colors do YOU think our phones would look great in?
I don't want to do 2 tones because the price would be higher.
I'm going to try to charge $18.00 for the labor with paint and clear coats and shipping included.
I'm thinking if I get enough interest I'm going to buy some covers ahead of time. This was you can just tell me the color you want and either pay for the cover or send your own.
If you decide you want to keep the cover, I will charge you for the cover than refund you the money once I have received your cover.
For now I just want to see which is the most popular color. Than I ill paint mine and post pictures.
Hope to hear from you guys.
Btw, the clear coat I will be using is TOP notch quality. It's really thick and shines very nice!
It will help hold the phone better as it wont be as slippery. And with a different color, the phone will look really nice.
I hope you get a bunch of people interested. . .
I would like to see a gloss white. I have always wanted a white phone but noone makes any good ones. (iphone's suck)

+1 for glossy white
I had a fluorescent green cover ever since I got the phone. Today my black cover arrived and I'm super impressed how nice this color looks
on my phone. All the colors suddenly are pooping out of the screen even more.

Today I noticed that my warm or yellow screen has gotten whiter..not bluer but just whiter! Freakin awesome. Plus I got my ballistics case and it fits perfect.

My One X is one of the few (two) I've seen that wasn't yellowish, but has a small amount of backlight bleed at the bottom right. I wasn't sure about exchanging it in fear of getting a one with a yellowish screen but you're the second person I've read saying this so maybe there is just some run in time. Considering almost every display I've seen has been warm, I'm guessing most in this forum have one like this. Is the the op's experience that of others as well?

Nice. Can't wait to get my case, just got my shipping notice
I've heard the yellowish screen (in general, not just One X) is from the adhesive they use to hold the screen and the glass together, and it just needs time before the yellow tint goes away.
Im noticing the same thing. Screen is looking better and better. Im keeping it full brightness for a while to speed things up since its a bit hotter

When you guys talk about the yellow screen, was the whole screen yellow or just some spots? On mine the bottom right corner its like this spot about the size of a 1 inch semi circle it seems to have a yellower tint then the rest of the screen. It's noticeable on white app screens.
I'm not sure if I should return the phone. Just got it today. Or wait it out and hope I have your guys' luck.
Thanks.
just giving this a quick little bump. It dropped to page two already.

That's exactly where mine is yellowish also. I guess I'll hold out a while. I have 30 days. One quick question. When you say it looks better, does that spot still look a little different from the rest of the display or has it cleared up to where you don't notice it at all?

I KEPT TELLING PEOPLE IT WAS THE DAMN ADHESIVE AND NO ONE LISTENED!!!!!! UGH! Rant over.
The white screens didn't come with enough glue, hence screen bleed, now the yellow screens have cured and look fine. GAH
Sorry... I ate pizza, and that makes me gassy, so I get explosive.
EDIT: Some screens out there really do have issues though, so everyone's experience will be different.

There was definitely something wrong with mine. I decided to go into AT&T today just to take a look at the One X's there and compare mine and out of the three on display there, and the two I saw yesterday at a different store where I bought mine, none had any yellow "spots". Now just so you know, my screen didn't have a "warm" display with a yellowish tint. Most of the display was bright white except for a small spot on the bottom right. It reminded me of the pictures of the iPhones that had the adhesive problem where there were noticeable "spots". I talked to the rep and was gonna wait to see if it would dry and go away since I only just bought the phone yesterday, but he said he would go to the back and get another white one and open it up to see if it was any better. The screen on that was perfect. A noticeable difference from the one with the "yellow spot". So, long story short, he swapped out my phone.
P.S. I understand what you are saying. The "warmer" looking screens are starting to get "cooler", but I honestly think my original one wasn't in that category per se. It was nice of the rep to let me swap it out. Depends on who you get I guess.
It's been out for other phones but I haven't heard much about it on the One x.
Anyway it's $16 on Amazon for the black and white cases. It looks about perfect for what I want, a thin, slim case which a clear back that shows off the phone while still offering protection. Apparently it covers the camera lens and has a lip on the front. So any word on these two case? Also I was wondering if the white one will look good on the black phone. I've seen a bunch of good cases for the white one. There's not as many for the black

Other than this, I may try out the Diztronic TPU cases. Again the question will be black on black, or white on black for that .
I have the black one. It's pretty slick but it's a b!tch to get on and off. Also, it was made for the international version so the cutouts don't quite line up. I got it off ebay for like $4. It's not branded by boxwave but it is the identical case, surely from the same manufacturer that boxwave gets it from.

Ok thanks I'll look into that. I mean I don't mind that much about the on and off. It's not like there's expandable memory or a battery that needs to be removed lol. As long as it looks good and offer good protection I'm fine and this one seems to do it.
Also how far off are the cutouts? I don't want to lose my headphone jack or anything lol.

It's just the camera and speaker cutouts that are ever so slightly off, like every other international case. Everything else is fine.

Ok as long as it doesn't obscure the camera and recording n block the speaker then I guess I'm fine with that. Last question tho, is your phone black or white? I'm leaning black on my black phone but was wondering if white looks good on the black phone.
thats too bad it doesnt fit... if they made a high quality case with that style, it would be very nice.

Ah.. I've wondered about that. Well you can blame ATT for the confusions. It's alll black and white to them. No shades of grey
Got mine in the mail yesterday, been using it since for 6 hours playing youtube videos and texting/calling im at 86%. Just tried to the sbeam NFC transfer and it doesn't seem to work which is a major let down, will probably be returning it or maybe keeping as a travel battery.
Phone weighs significantly more but that's expected, it feels almost sturdier but i wonder how that extra weight will do in a fall without a case. It'll probably be hard to find a case that fits it i hadn't seen one when i ordered it.
