Screen has got a yellow tint after warming

[agabe]

finally I got my nexus 4 :good:
It looks very good:

The browsing is good and fast, the pages looks really good, and I like the chrome browser

The colours are pretty good, especially the white:

But!!
after some browsing, or benchmark (when the phone is warming a bit)

It gets yellow tint the left side on the screen (maybe not only there, but there is the most recognisable):

I don't find this is a good product from LG.
I hope this is not usual...but personally I'm disappointed :crying:

Looks like the glue spot issues the One X had/still has...

It's to do with how the screen is glued to the LCD.

I really cba going through issues similar to the One X's launch again, that device had a horrendous hardware launch.

Are you in Europe and did you buy this from an EU carrier? If so, it would seem that LG diverted units from Google to go to other vendors. Google actually had to cancel announced plans to sell the Nexus 4 via Playstore in the Netherlands and Belgium at the very last minute because LG couldn't deliver units. I suspect LG's reputation isn't going to be helped by the disastrous launch of this phone. Google deserves to share the criticism too. (There's a rumor that LG delivered only 5,000 units to Google, but then rumors aren't substantiated and it may well be false. However, the UK Playstore sold out in under an hour and the US Playstore was sold out in under a half and hour so it sounds like there weren't a lot of phones available.)

Yeah this definitely looks like the issue that one x had with their launch. Not good!

Christ almighty, this phone is Frankenstein resurrected. How many things went wrong/are wrong again!? I can't keep track anymore. Worst f-cking phone EVER. Sucks it looks so good though.

didn't the iphone 5 have the same issue and stated for users to wait untill the glue cures completely and the yellow tint should go ?

I'm really curious what will expect me when I open the packaging of this phone...

Had that on my Nexus S i9023. It's the glue. When heated it turns yellow.

I´m curious because none of the reviewer phones had this problem and they benchmarked the phone a lot etc..

If you press down on the screen (on the yellow patch as if reviving a dead pixel), does the yellow patch disfigure? Could be some glue that hasn't set in properly yet...leave it overnight and see if it disappears

Well, if it's after the benchmarks, it means it either got so hot that physically damaged lcd, or just helped glue to evaporate faster than it should. I suggest not pushing it for the first few days cpu wise, let everything dry out as much as possible naturally.

indeed, I wonder if the networks (O2..etc got a bad batch of phones...). I bought mine from Google Play earlier today and now I'm scared for my life and hoping that LG didn't screw mass production of this amazing phone up...

On the section 3.5 of Screen section of the French review from frandroid.com here :

You can see photos of the yellow tint. The text translated from French :
"After some testing, we noticed a weird behavior of the screen on a white background. A blue light escapes from the top of the screen. Moreover, a yellow spot appears. It's sometimes difficult to notice at first sight. Knowing the hardware we have is final, this is very worrisome."

I think it's the same like sony xperia-s screen.

I live in the UK and what worries my is, where do I have to post my N4 if I have issues?
This could get expensive if I have to keep posting it back to the US.

Don't be silly, it will be dealt with locally

Just call Google support.
