The only way that I've read about involves actually opening up the phone and scraping off the grey paint on the buttons where the light shines through.

Light bleeding

Does anyone else have light bleeding on the edge of the bezel? Its only when the softkeys light up and its on the lower left hand side. Was just curious to see if im the only one. Its really noticeable at night.

I noticed that early on a lot of folks confused the poorly-conceived background on the rosie for light leakage but I haven't heard a lot about it since then and I don't have what you're describing either.

Its definitely light shinning through the edge of the bezel. Cause if the lights for the softkeys turn off its not there anymore.

Well i am now because my screen when it slides up is tearing up the black/silver finish next to the keyboard

They all have light leakage from the bottom where the glass meets the bezel. The light is coming from the soft-keys. I have seen several D3's and they all have this issue to varying degrees.
have it here too. nothing too noticeable, but i did see it. really though, other than that (and the questionable battery cover), this thing is built just as solid as the D2, if not better.
Here too
I have a very minute amount of light leakage too, on my D3, at the bottom edge of the screen. I had the same issue, actually a lot more noticeable, on my Thunderbolt. This is a common issue with all phones that use capacitive menu buttons at the bottom. It varies in degrees, but is there on almost every piece I have seen at the local Verizon store.
Mine definitely does it; but to be completely honest, I think it looks kinda neat, so I've got no complaints.

[Q] Will this LED Laptop be prone to screen burn?

I just bought an Asus G73SW-A1 and I found out that it has an LED screen, so does that mean it will be prone to screen burn?
I don't think so...

But anyway OP I don't think led lcds suffer much from burning in
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
OP is confusing LCD, LED and Plasma. Only Plasma suffers burn-in, and the 'LED' of your screen is simply the backlight that is used which is, sometimes, more uniform and energy efficient than the traditional CCF technology.
That is all.
I'm not confusing anything. I know that Plasmas and LEDs suffer screen burn and I could've sworn it didn't say LED backlit...I'll check again but I think it's an LED screen...

LED=Light Emitting Diode
Working at a computer repair shop and actually took out the LEDs out of a screen. They are just a series of LED lights for the backlight. The screen is still and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Are you sure this specific computer isn't an LED screen? They do make LED screens....
He is sure, its an led lcd,

I'm sure. It is impossible to create a screen just from light.How an LCD works is that it creates an image between two dark plates of glass, that heat the individual crystals making the image appear. But normally you can't see it, hence why you have the backlight. The newest way of lighting these LCD panels are LED lights. They are cheaper to produce, last longer, and have a better brightness. But that's about it.
If you want to do an experiment, open up the frame of your laptop screen, disconnect the inverter(which controls the backlight) turn on the computer and angle it at your room light, and you will see faint outlines of the system. But that only works with older laptops since the newer ones have the inverter built into the LCD and only use one cable that goes into the monitor, instead of 2, from the motherboard.
It's not impossible for only led, a car place in Paris had about a meter by a meter of red green and blue leds playing a video, looked awfule but was cool I guess

What about LED TVs? And what about LED variant phones (OLED, AMOLED, SUPER AMOLED)?

LED tv's = LED LCD
OLED and other variants afaik have no led back light and they can light up individually, which is why blacks are blacker as the pixel has virtually no power going to it
But Samsungs AMOLED and SAMOLED displays use Pentile arangment making thm not as clear as they share sub pixels, SAMOLED+ however uses RGB meaning its clearer The Nexus Galaxy uses Pentile to that amazing DPI comes up to actually be as clear / defined as the SGS2 , but more pixels too push so more battery eating and more gpu power neeed

You're talking about disparate technologies that have nothing to do with each other. LED displays do exist, but are usually only used as a cost effective way of creating massive outdoor displays. LED TV's are again, just LCD with an LED backlight.
Your laptop has an LCD screen. Be thankful!

Okay good to know then. I'm getting the sgs2 also. Will that have screen burn?

Simulate battery pull problem

Has anyone else had trouble doing simulated battery pull? Ive done it before but when I just went to try it, it gets to 1 sec and doesnt reboot. Even held 30 secs longer and nothing. Anyone have any idea why that is? Will it only allow simulated battery pull when phone freezes?

I had to have the sensor in front of my laptop when I was doing stuff in the dark.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Weird how the proximity sensor can effect the powering on/off of a device. Never had that probem before. Then again Ive only owned one other phone without a removable battery. Had the htc 4g lte for a short time before getting this htc one. Is this just a software "glitch" that could be fixed with an software update or something in the htc one hardware?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Sad part is, wasnt long ago I read somewhere on xda how someone was told to do the bright light when they couldnt get their phone to power on and it worked. Never dawned on me to try that to restart it..well simulate battery pull anyways. Never seems to restart (maybe Im just impatient lol) without pressing power to get it to boot back up.

Never own a phone with build n battery so this is new to me. But cool tip I will remember this.
You just aim the light sensor but the speak to a bright light and press n hold power?

Yep if you want to do a simulated battery pull or have trouble doing it or getting your phone to power on. Just hold phone (sensor part anyways) under bright light and it should work

Another noob question

I only got this phone yesterday and I was wondering if the 2 buttons with side of the HTC logo should light up?
Mine don't light up and there hard to see in the dark...
I tried finding a setting but I can't see anything.
Thanks for replies
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes they should light up when the phone is in use
They do light, but not at any time. I Guess it has something to do with the auto-brightness-sensor... So if it dark it'll turn on the button lights

Extra sensitive screen.

Has anyone else noticed how sensitive the screen is? I constantly find my phone has woke up because of a notification. Then my pocket does all kinds of random things. pockt dialing, pocket facebooking, pocket gaming and last but not least pocket txting lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using xda app-developers app
Yeah its meant to be. If you go to settings>control>auto-adjust screen sensitivity and uncheck the box it should help.

Oh I know about that. Thats for when you have gloves on. Its not checked. The screen is just sensitive. Its not bad just alot more sensitive than any of my other galaxy series of phones.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using xda app-developers app
Same issue and my friend has the same problem. If they'd get rid of the stupid screen on for notifications it would help but it's also not good that when squatting down its easy to press the home button in your pocket since it's not fully flush with the body. Thus allowing you to still accidentally unlock it the same way

I do enjoy the sensitivity for normal use. It's the abnormal things that get you lol.

Wait... your phone wakes up when you get a notification? Like the screen turns on when you receive an email or text? My phone stays locked and just flashes the LED light.

If you're rooted, you can make the home button not wake up the device with Wanam. I found that this caused a more problems than the brief wake on receiving text messages.
Not sure how to make it not wake the screen when you get a text message.
I've never seen it wake the screen for anything other than text and calls, though.
