Another exchanged Nexus with problems

[MBeattie]

I am now on Nexus #4, serious issues with first 3. So #4 looks totally different. The colors are washed out and the UI seems weird. Such as when hitting the bottom of s scrollable screen, the yellow highlights aren't smooth but sorta jagged at the top. The icons at the top of the display (wifi icon, 4g icon, etc) are green. I'm almost positive the first 3 had white highlight not green. The stock nexus wallpaper also seems a bit weird up in yhr right corner. I'm running 2.3.4 but I'm almost certain so were the others since they were all purchased with s week. Please leave me some feedback guys, I'm begging ya. I can't see myself walking into the store to exchange yet again.

The icons up top are green when connected to the network, and yes it should be on 2.3.4 atleast mine was, other than that I cant comment on the other issues, as I don't have any.

I know you'll assume I'm one of those people who have nothing better to do but let me say this, with each exchange I had to purchase s new $30 zagg so I've already spent well over $100 on screen protectors. The $30 protector is reason along to deal with normal bugs, I'm having major issues that even the store has been super cool with the exchanges cuz there fairly serious in nature

could it be that its zagg causing this? thats the only common factor between all the phones. remove it and try using it. I know that zagg protectors need time to dry and they usually get better in about 48 hours. But do try it without zagg. Besides zagg is not the best screen protector out there.

Btw here is a tip for u to save u money. U don't need to buy new ones. You can contact zagg and they will replace it with new version for just shipping cost. They have lifetime warranty

I guess I'm over the top but I won't turn a new device on without having a screen protector installed so waiting to send them out is not an option for me. I've Bern reading horror stories about the 2.3.3 update and the color issues it has brought but I'm running 2.3.4 and I'm pretty sure the 3 others I had were too. I also noticed the 6 screws on the back of the phone are all accessible, usually 1 will have a little sticker that shows you've tried to open the phone. I'm pissed most of all because this time my zagg came out flawless lol.

Mine also has 6 exposed screws

You are reading about GSM models that were updated to 2.3.3. Our phones came with 2.3.4 preloaded

Well that confirms the issue.I just can't imagine 4 defects being possible.

Oh, it's definitely possible. Just not probable!
I have had no issues with mine and only went back to the store to ask about visual vm and facebook integration, which I was told that they were not available. Oddly enough, the person I actually bought it from in the same store, and *2 both told me they were. No biggie, got google voice and I'm happy.

Other than that, I have noticed the different colors on the 3G/4G signal strengths. Meaning, sometimes they're white, sometimes green. It looks as though the green means stronger signal. At least that's how it is acting in my case.
A friend of mine noticed a blue-ish hue to my screen, which I then did too. However, seems to be just an angle issue because when I look at the screen head on, nothing. . .

Must say, this is the first phone I've ever gotten that didn't give me a legit reason to want to take it back. I went threw a few Pres and even my last one had issues, but I too was sick of having the screens replaced and wasting time at the Sprint store exchanging things. . .

Oh, and if you go to an InvisiShield cart at your local mall, they will replace your shield for free!!! No mail in nothing!!!
