seriously?

 

When you pull the menu bar down, the OS puts a partially transparent overlay over the active screen and yes, it does change the color tone of the keys on my phone to a purpleish color. I could not care less, really.

 

No purple here...

 

okay so i see what you mean but what are you expecting to see? All black or shaded...?

One thing i noticed when the notification menu overlayed on the settings menu was that when i have the brightness mid to all up you can see shaded rows. Purple than gray/black than purple etc. ...

One odd thing i notice was when brightness is up the row that is about one inch up appears to blink.

Imo its a bug in the ui not the hardware.

 

Is your concern that there is a hardware problem or ui?
Im able to replicate both scenaios. I still believe its a ui thing and not hardware. In other words theres no need to return your device.
Consider opening up a usability enhancement issue with google.

 

OP, I must respectfully submit that it's totally unreasonable to force customer service to provide so many replacements for such a minor imperfection. VZW should have cut you off after three units, which they now cannot sell as new. You're costing them $$$, and they've already gone way beyond what good service calls for.

The Nexus is not the phone for you. Maybe no phone is, because they all have flaws, most wayyyy worse than the one described. Either live with it or give the phone back, but please don't ask them for another Nexus.

Offense not intended, but a reality check certainly is.

 

Then why'd you return the first one?

This is pathetic. Get another phone or stop complaining.

 

I see what you're talking about but it is definitely software not hardware causing the issue. Exchange as many as you want and they will all have it. I know its software because one of the purplish bands on mine flickered purplish then back to grey. Certaonly doesn't affect usability, especially since i don't view the settings menu through the pulldown shade.

 

When I saw the title I thought it was about the banding issue that I have.

I would say you're issue is not an issue.

 

WOW this is just insane. 5 phones for this, not an issue, why the heck would you care what the keyboard looks like when you pull down the notification menu. Seriously? do you actually watch a movie with notification menu down? or type text with it down. This is just truly insane, lol.

 

The people at Verizon are not the only ones that thinks you're crazy

 

You're an idiot.

 

I'm not trying to be mean but have you thought that maybe you are slightly color blind? Again I'm not trying to be mean at all and I'm quite serious.

I looked it up and I don't think you do so I'm not sure how you're seeing purple.

Here's a test tho that seems helpful maybe?
Color Blindness Tests and Facts

 

I just don't see purple. I tried really hard to duplicate it but it's not purple.

 

What the hell do you want it to be, pitch black? You are a lunatic, who they hell even focuses on this, it's a phone. I actually own stock in Verizon, please go to another carrier.

 

Think the people at VZW are correct. Here's what I would tell you, "Quit going in to dark rooms w/ the brightness turned down to look for purple tints and turn the lights on before you pull the notification bar down." See? It's an easy fix. Go back and read what you wrote here. Slowly.

It's asinine..................Oh, no offense. If you look for something hard enough, you're bound to find it.

I tried ur tests. My keyboard turned purple with low brightness and the bar pulled down over it. At higher brightness, it stayed grey. Every other test u had, no purple.

But mine is nowhere even close to what was going on in the thread i linked to above.
