This is my burning Red Laser, made with a Sony 20x DVD Diode, and a flashlight. it burns everything, seriously, I haven't run into anything that it cant burn yet.
youtube comments are apprecieted.
needled 24/7.
that thing is sick how did u do that?
Harvest the Diode from a DVD player, put it in a flashlight that you prefer... here's a guide on youtube that explains all the steps:

seriously - it's kind of cool, but messing with it carries a significant risk of blinding you and people around you. in an unpredictable, "but i just shone it over there and didn't realise there were some slightly shiny surfaces, officer" type of way. instant retina damage...

yea this thing is no toy, more of a weapon I'd say. i ordered some shades. when i first got this laser i didnt think i would need them, but i found out how bright this really was, this video doesnt not show how bright it is at all, you just have to see for yourself. looking at the dot is like looking at the sun, it gives you a huge blind spot like the sun does.
on my laser forum people say not to wear sunglasses while using lasers, as it's even worse. aparently it doesnt filter thru the light so its just as using the laser without the sunglasses, but to make things worse, since the sunglasses are dark your eye tries to take in even more light, therefor taking in even more red light! so wearing sunglasses are just worse.
It looks quite powerful,I just bought a 400mw green laser pointer

ugh.. I'd never pay that much for a red, considering that now you can buy a high powered 20x diode for under $20. Then put it in a module ($3), put that in a heatsink ($20), put the heatsink in any style case you want (lets just say a $10 case). Buy a Driver (anywhere from $10 - 20 depending on the driver). And Last but not least, batteries ($4).
That's a total of $57 - $67
Again, here is a list of the items needed to build a laser:
Diode - $20
Module - $3
Heatsink - $20
Driver - 10 - 20$
host (flashlight case) - $10 - xx
Batteries - $4
You decide which is better, paying the extra "buisness costs", a total of $240.00 just for 150mW... or building one yourself for only $70 - $80..which btw can easily (AND SAFELY) reach 210mW - 250mW. PM me if you wanna learn more about building a laser.
The nice thing about building lasers is once you've already bought everything up above, (usually) the only thing that can die is the Diode, and a replacement is cheap. I believe one of the most recent prices I saw on a Red Diode was $17.50. BluRay diodes are getting cheaper as well, about $11.50 for 100mW of blu ray!

the DX laser is good for it's price. And since it's a Red there is really no way they can mess it up (DX can be known for it's poor quality, as well as outstanding quality lol).
I've seen some mods done to this laser where they replaced the diode with a more powerful one and it was much more powerful!

There are a few companies that sell safety glasses that have some filtering capabilities. Now, this doesn't mean that you can look at the damn thing directly, but they might save you from blinding yourself. Really cool stuff though.

actually... (this may sound stupid.. so be prepared!) you can look directly into it while wearing the safety goggles. It blocks ALL of the light (unless of course you have a multi Watt laser. If you're actually wearing the shades and you point the dot at the wall all you will see is a tiny yellowish looking dot.
Hmm, I'd be careful if I were you.

screen edge bleed. How many of you have light bleed from around the display area when viewed at an angle? I've gone in to try 3 different phones from 3 diff deliveries and they ALL do it. Even the 3 display model do it. It's driving me nuts. Show of hands to say I'm not crazy and there is still hope to find a good one...
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
No, they do that, trust me. It's the way they are assembled. I noticed it as soon as I got the phone, but it doesn't bother me because I know a lot of HTCs are like this. It isn't a defect in quality; rather, a result of the design. Unless your screen is leaking and letting in dust, don't worry about it. It might be annoying at first but you get past it. My Vivid does this and so have the other three HTCs I've had in the past.
Agree completely. I'm on my second Vivid, and both had/have light bleed, especially noticeable when looking at the phone flat towards the top of the phone. I'm a first-time HTC guy so I initially thought the same...that it was an issue with my phone. However, trips to see Vivids at multiple AT&T retail stores, and my second phone, made me comfortable that it was not just "my phone".
That it is endemic to every phone you see means HTC cant build a damn phone properly. Ive never had this issue with my Tytn, Tytn II, EVO, EVO 3D, Inspire. Meaning they can do it right, it is NOT an acceptable result for this phone. The rezound doesnt do it, nor does the sensation. Im going back and if this last shipment doesnt have it fixed its bye bye. God HTC used to be such high quality, now they are turning into metal bodied samsungs...

God damn, calm down. That the light bleeds doesn't necessarily mean the design is wrong or of poor quality. That's just the design. It doesn't affect the way the phone works or how tough it is, it's JUST designed like that. Go ahead and exchange it, your new Vivid will have the same problem and you'll probably just be more bitter about it. Just because one or two phones from a company aren't designed as well as you'd want them to be, doesn't mean the whole company is junk. If you want, go exchange it for a Skyrocket and wince at the ****ty resolution, ghost lines running down the screen and cheap plastic. But none of that should matter because the screen won't bleed.
I have a car from 1991 with 221,000 miles on it. Not that much for that car in particular. I also have a car of the same make from 2000. And while there are definitely differences in build quality and material, the newer car has 322,000 miles on it. Both are running beautifully. Original engines and transmissions, starters, alternators, AC compressors, and basically everything else. But eh, the one from '00 has slightly harder dashboard material, so it's crap and that company can't build cars right.
But you know what, to each his own. *Just my opinion.

Uhm light bleeding out the edges of the display is not a 'designed that way' type issue. Its a 'we have no quality control' issue. Next youll say that the screen coming unglued from the incredible/evo a while ago was a design aspect. Come on man. To those of us who actually design and build such products, its a manufacturing issue, not design. NO ONE designs them this ****ty.

I build engines and work on cars for a living. I do know where you're coming from. So it wasn't designed with as tight tolerances as it could have been or other phones are. But that does not necessarily mean it is of poor quality. They could (and yeah they really should) have built the phone a bit differently so as to avoid that light bleed. It isn't pretty especially with devices that do it more than others.
But you know, I still have my Incredible. It drowned in a river once, fell from the roof of my house (yeah...), has been dropped numerous times, and was submerged into a toilet by a 2-year old at one point. nasty **** man.. but I still have it. I use it as a "micro" tablet around my house. And I've never had a single problem with it.
Now that may just be my luck with my device but in all honesty, I have no problems believing it to be reliable. Others may not be so lucky. But in the case of the Vivid, I agree with you one hundred percent - the light bleed is something that definitely should not be present. But I don't really think it's that big of a problem in terms of actual quality. In manufacturing or in design, it isn't the best. But the device as a whole is solid and sturdy. With my first Vivid, after I bricked it (well not really bricked but gave up on it), I knew I was to exchange it. So I tried gauging the durability of the thing by twisting it, hit it on the table a couple of times and stuff. It was still fine.
Oh and I had a Captivate since new. The GPS never worked no matter what tweaks I did to it, the loudspeaker took a dump two months in, the volume rocker is so soft you don't feel a click, and it overheats while charging, even when it's off. Otherwise it was a great phone.. but eh. Too many bad experiences with Samsung in the past.
I don't know. I do respect your opinion man and don't underestimate your knowledge. Simply expressing my own.
I noticed this on my vivid a few days after I got it but didn't post about it because it doesn't really bother me. You can only see it if you tilt the phone forward and look into the housing and how many of us are going to do that other to look at the "defect." As long as it doesn't effect me using the phone then I'm good.

I read in bed at night and in the morning, so the display is dimmed down, but the light bleed stays nearly the same brightness.... its very distracting.
Where Does All That Light Go?
If your phone bleeds light around the edges (of the screen?), where does it go? Will the vivid eventually run out of light when it all bleeds out?
Seriously, I took the case off my Vivid, took it into a dark room, and turned it on. No light coming around the edges of the screen. Of course, even if the screen was not seated properly and some light leaked out around the edge, I wouldn't see it because of the case. I guess I got a phone from a better batch.
None here...
I have absolutely no light bleed on my phone, and even if it was there its a phone not a pace maker , I've seen the Vivids with the bleed at the store and it still wasn't that bad. Someone is being overly dramatic.

Im not talking about light coming out AROUND the glass. Im talking about where the bezel meets the actual display area.
Is this light underneath the glass and visible through it? Is it leaking from where the plastic sides of the phone meet the glass, or what. If you could show pictures or actually clarify further, it'd be easier to understand. Now I don't think we are all imagining the same kind of light bleed you are seeing.
The gap around the glass and the gap where the bezel meets the display are the same thing..
In the case of what brucegil is referring to, no light is bleeding on my Vivid. Nor did it bleed on my last one or my past HTC devices. What I and I believe everyone else thinks you're referring to is the light you can see around the edges of the screen when the phone is viewed at an angle. That light is underneath the glass.
I just returned my black vivid for a white vivid today and my black one had a lot of light leak but this white one doesn't have any

Has anyone tried a bike-mount that is waterproof?
I am interested in this since I dont want to pay 250+USD for an expensive bike-computer with GPS.
Here is two I found that seemed interesting, but unfortunally hasn't any reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/Cycle-Bicycle-Waterproof-Phone-Mount/dp/B00FS9MXR6
http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Cycle-Handlebar-Mount-Smartphone/dp/B00FXSXIW6
Both look like the exact same thing?
Anyway, that would probably suffice for a light rain, but I'd be pretty scared if I was actually riding in the rain with that, as IPX4 is basically resistant to "light splashes".
I have the same issue, I'd love to see a good solution. My previous solution sucks, but it works. An otterbox mounted to the bars. I can't operate the phone, but it's crash and water proof.
I forgot to mention that I bike mostly on a bit rough terrain, which makes me wonder if its worth taking the chance with a weakish bike-mount. I have already cracked the screen once.
I think I will just get a cheap bike computer that measure speed. And keep my phone as a tracker in my backpack or under the bike saddle.

Mine does the same thing. Serms there is a hollow spot with something like tape or maybe a buffer of some kind. Anyway it sort of bugs me. Anyone break one of these down or know why it does this?
That's probably what it is. They put tape inside to reduce creaking and make it feel a little more solid. Original Moto X had a blue silicon pad inside with adhesive on both sides.
This is ridiculous, why would you even press on the screen that hard?!
My G3 or Note 3 don't do that. I can press as hard as I want and the display will crack before it bends. Is the glass bending? I am looking to get a Z3 but I would like to know what is actually moving.
I lightly press my screen and get the same result...it's not pressing hard at all.

my wife's phone pops when you are looking for it and press alot more than you would ever do during normal use. Not really an issue on this particular phone.
If it would pop just during normal operation I would consider it a problem though.
In this German test the glass back display cracked spontaniously:
http://www.areamobile.de/handys/4275-sony-xperia-z3-compact/testbericht
I tried to test the glass panels in the shop the other day by pressing it with my thumb a bit and I noticed that the front display could be pressed in quite easy, changing the colours on the display. Seems like pretty thin glass, hence the many reports of broken panels I guess.
It reminds me of the old cheap watches you got as as a kid that went all black when you press on the screen. Man i lobe everything else about the phone., well mostly, the other issue i have is terrible speaker phone quality when people are talking on their end. It sounds low and very crackely. Cant have that with my business. Anyone else have the speaker problem? Sigh i was so happy to get this thing and the smooth and fast feel is the best.

Try setting your front facing camera to record video; you can get some pretty neat results with the spinning!

I don't spin it mostly because I'm afraid to knock over my beer!
Get a tpu case.
I've been spinning mine since I got it in February. It replaced me spinning my N5 in my fingers .
Haha, I do this too. It spins great, yeah.

So I tried this app which is likely not very accurate at high speeds since it's designed for record players, however I appear to be in the 300RPM region with a somewhat casual spin:

Difficult to put the N6 in the right position on the QI-pad for wireless charging.
Two small rubber strips prevent spinning on the QI-pad, but than other (flat) devices will not charge.
Using the M-charger than the cable prevents spinning.
After your post I leave it uncharged just for the spinning. But I got complains. Some people cannot phone me. Had to stop the spinning and use it again as phone.
Greeting all! I've had my Asus Rog 2 for a little over a month I'd say. I have the proper Republic of Gamers version. I've noticed on the left side, where the attachment port is. An amount of flex in the screen along the seal. It's probably only a millimetre or so. But it flexes up and down when pressed, seeable from a side on view. The other side where the volume and power buttons are does not that this flex. There is also a light difference to sound when tapping that side of the phone while typing. Which I can only put down to the slight screen compressing on the left. I'm not sure how I can to notice it. Some people have said it might be an intentional aspect of the phone to give a small amount of flex/shock absorption but I can't find anything online mentioning it. I'm more leaning towards it being a fault in my phone. It's not once been dropped always been in a case. So yeah. Anyone able to shed light on this?

Finally. Someone with class and crazy sharp senses. I myself have severe OCD. I used to be very verbal about this kind of stuff on the AC forums xD. But on XDA i toned myself down.
First of all. Asus has crap for Quality Control. I had 2 ROGPHONE 2s with different power button height. And in between the lcd and bezel i could see glue. But okay nevermind.
As for the screen lifting near the accessory port, i do not seem to have it. Did you happen to sit on it? Or put the phone in the back pocket? Remembering that this is a tall phone.

Nope! I don't even take the phone to work with me. I swap to my previous phone.
I'm pretty sure it's a fault. It hasn't caused any issues apart from some annoyance to my OCD. As long as it doesn't worsen it's not something I can't live with.

It will worsen. You should get it replaced. Im sure it will eventually become wider from the flexing. Btw do you use the accessory port often? And do you have a tempered glass applied?

I wouldn't have a clue how. I'm in Australia and I purchased the phone via eBay.
I've used the accessory port once, just to check it out. Used the fan for maybe 15 minutes. Other than that I've never removed the piece of rubber there.
And yes, I have a tempered glass protector applied.

Yeah, it's 100% the screen. You can see the black edge of the screen move up and down from the dark drownish side of the phone. I'll just have to keep an eye on it I suppose. Bit annoying though. Pay almost $1,700 for one of the best phones on the market thinking you're going to get something issue free. Ha.

In Indonesia. Samsung has the best QC. I only had 1 issue with Samsung. Which was dust under the S7 Edge screen. But other than that they're very good. But Asus Indonesia is a joke. Its like we get a refurbished phone. I bought 2 rogphone 2s and each had their own defect. First had glue in between the screen and bezel, and my current unit has different volume/power button height.

Which is why I didn't want to buy the Tencent version. Plus it wouldn't work here correctly without getting into the firmware. I just figured I'd spend the money. Get the good one that'll have no issues. I asked the seller if they had warranty which the answer was no. They referred me to a few companies that do insurance on phones.
I've never bought a real expensive phone before, and my previous phone was 4 or 5 years old. It was an S5.
So it is annoying. But other than that I don't have any complaints about it.

Or you could use it until it shows signs of damage defect. Or bring it to an authorized repair shop. Im guessing lack of glue.

Lack of glue probably is the issue. I might see if there are any places around that can do it. Doubtful there would be around me. Best luck is probably Sydney. Which is a few hours away.

If you like DIY stuff. Try using LOCO glue. They helped me seal my Note 8 when it had cracks.

You seriously dont know how comfortable your comment has made me after reading it. I have always had this habit of checking my belongings (from my phone to my own body and muscles) to make absolutely sure there isnt a single even slighgest problem with it and guess what, there always is something to notice for me!
One of the reasons why I had never opted for an oled phone knowing I will notice the burn-ins one day when there isnt any other person who notices them.
Now I finally decided to go for this phone with the assumption that asus knows how to make gaming stuff, but now I can see several issues already, from the obvious red tint to the screen having lots of bandings and horizontal lines on lower brightness on gray color.
Now I can also feel the volume buttons not needing the same pressure and of of them being softer and also the rgb light on the back being poorly so when the light turns on there are some dots around it that also light up(i know that its only a white paper behind the back glass so if there are any print issues they will also light up)
Althought I dont have any serious issues(yet), im definitely not buying another phone from asus or any other not that famous brands for that matter. My last device was a sony x compact which I had for 3 years from when it came out and I still regret selling it, it was so damn perfect.
Btw, thanks for lettin me know that there is a disorder named OCD, I dont know why I hadnt searched about it already.

Hi, well thats quite a positive feedback. I had quite a backlash at AC forums. I've had people say that I'm making AC look like a Mental Issue Forum and some user even boasted how happy his credit card is if he buys a new phone when the old 1 is damaged.(credit card lol) Btw, i wouldn't say its a disorder. Different people have different standards. For me the Mercedes Benz S Klasse might be perfect, but for you it might not be.
And my OCD is definitely worse than yours. My phone can only be touched by me, and me myself dont touch the physical buttons(I'm afraid that it will be damaged).
And never feel alone about something. There will always be somebody out there having the same issue but not posting on the forums xD.

Not a fan of DIY.
So I stopped by a phone repair should this Arvo. The guy said to him it looks as though the battery is swelling. He said thats the side the battery is on so that is the most likely reason for it. He asked if the battery life was alright still.
Hard for me to really notice. I only use the phone on weekends and in the afternoons while home. I generally only charge it every second day, and I unplug the charger once it's at 100%. He said it isn't serious at the moment but if I notice battery charge fading fast, or if it swells a lot more to bring it back and he'll be able to put a new one in.
Just my ****ing luck to get shoddy battery, if that's the issue.

Hahahaha battery swell. I wonder what battery Asus uses... Btw, did he open the phone to confirm?

No they didn't. But it's their job so I'd say they can make a pretty fair guess.
I might go back there Monday, as I need my phone this weekend. On Monday I'll go back and tell them to do what needs to be done to fix it.
The battery is on the opposit side from the vent that would be on the left side of the vent, didnt you say that the problem was on the left side of your screen meaning its on the right side of the back??!

Is it? I haven't even checked that. I'll look that up. But yes, it is opposite to the vent.
You're right it is. Interesting. Awesome. Now I'm back to annoyed and confused. Haha.

Yeah trust me the customer services' first guess is battery swell which basicly doesnt happen soon unless you are always charging your phone while playing and overnight and draining it to the last percentage. But is can happen as a result of physical impact or damage, and when it happens you will most probably notice the shortened battery life so I would say it's not a battery problem unless of course proven otherwise.
