Screen problem?

Hello, I have seen that my htc one screen have a light leak on the op of the screen, I thought that is a problem of my HTC One, but I have seen in internet that many Ones have this problem, so Can you see that your one have this problem?
Images:
PD: It is visible only in light colors or white.
Thanks and sorry for my english.

According to you (and maybe the other ONE user) I think I'm lucky because my screen doesn't have this issue..
but I got two deadpixels in less then a month since I bought it

it's called backlight bleeding, i have that too, there is nothing you can do about it..

I have spoken with HTC Chat and they say me that I can send the One to the SAT, but I am worried because I have seen another One in a shop of my city which has the same problem.
Thanks

Anyone has this problem too?

Idon't have this issue. Good luck

I have that too, it looks the same, even the same pattern (two gaps where the sensors and camera is).
But to be honest, it is not noticeable at all, only when looking at bright colors from a high angle. Maybe the level of bleed varies from unit to unit, and if it's bothering you very much then RMA it.
Don't get me wrong, I am very picky about this kind of stuff, If I found a single badpixel I would go bonkers over it. However looking at what kind of issues people are having with their Ones I wouldn't complain at something like this.

Reported here as well, but my One is fine

I'm the OP of the linked thread. Wanted to return it, but my shop didn't think it was a good enough reason for an exchange.
Here's a recent pic of my right side attached.

You are looking at a shallow angle at the edge of the screen.... do you see this when you look at the screen straight on..... if not then there's no problem.

Nexus 5 power button rattle fix....

Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.

nice? possible to change into a higher mah battery?

The battery seems easy enough to remove, so if there were one available I suppose it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to change

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Fair enough I guess.

I did the very same with my Nexus 4. Using tiny bits of tissue. Dunno why everyone is crying about it, its a very simple fix!

Thanks mate
I'm getting my N5 tomorrow, and living in a country not supported by Google Play Devices, it's nice to know that I can fix stuff like that myself

Stick it in a case, that should do it.

I have a case for it that I got off ebay, a clear tpu gel one. It muffles the sound but it is still there, plus I really like the feel of the phone and in the case you lose that.

not concerned, thanks for the head up tho OP! :good:

The more Im reading, the creepier it gets for me Only because I'm gonna make someone buy the phone for me and send it, so there would be no chance of return if I saw any kind of defects. Just why all these reports of rattles, dead pixels, after vibration weird sound...ughhhh! Was planning to buy it from Carphone Warehouse...

Hi guys i just bought a g flex today and first and foremost it is an amazing phone. There is a couple of things that i have noticed which would help me if anyome would know how to sort them.
1. There is a hravy screen burn. I know this is a common thing but wondered if anything can sort it.
2. No update for 4.4 i know this phone is a little old but you would still ecpect an update of sorts but nothing since the release.
2. The blacks on this phone just are ent black they have a grey hue and whites do too. And there are very small dots all over the screen. Now i came from a nexus 5 which had a FHD display and this doesnt but come on it shouldnt be that noticable to see eaxh pixel.
If there are any solutions to any of these problems they would be highly appreciated.

1. Do you have permanent burn-in or suffer temporary burn-in?
2. It is possible to flash 4.4 yourself if you are feeling a little adventurous and can find files. There are guides on the forum.
3. It's not even black in a dark room? Or are you talking about the reflections making the blacks appear grey? Amoled white won't be as white as on LCD.
Regarding the pixels/noise/grain that you see, it seems to float around different revisions of the screen. I've seen two Flexes. Mine and another. Mine does not suffer from it. I can hardly see it even if I look up close. While on the other one it was VERY visible and the only thing I could see all the time. This screen also heavily suffered from temporary image retention which mine does not.

You probably have the first model which was as grainy as the other one I saw myself. It was seriously grainy and unbearable.
Try dialing 3845#*955# (replace 955 with your model number). Then "settings/version info/HW Version". Do you see rev1.0 somewhere?

Hmm same as mine then. But the screen must be different. I've seen how grainy it is and the one I have now I barly can see the grain even if I look close for it. So it's a none issue on my phone.

I was in the shop today and they had three all revision+?
1 but i guess you have to be lucky becuase all three had thr issue. I toon the first one back because of the burn in issue but the econd one seems to be free of that now also the 4.4.2 update helped. Is there any way of improving it. Any mods of drivers i can install.

No. No other than software updates from the manufacturer. Hmm maybe I was really lucky with mine. Would like to look at more physically. But they are hard to come by just like that no stores have them in my area.

Problem with camera focusing

Hi just got a my phone and when i open the camera it has problems focusing sometimes i have to place my hand in front of it to help (i have it on auto mode) any thoughts?

Focusing this camera on auto does it when you take the pic. If you wanna force the focus touch and hold the screen till it focuses but when u take pic it will focus again either way.

I've seen s5 people with the problem and the fix seems to be to clear the data and cache for the camera app.

Tap and hold on area of screen you want to have focus and exposure set or use another camera app what allow to set different focus modes. I personally like "Snap camera"

I know this may sound dumb...but, shake the phone when this happens. It might have something to do with the OIS. It works for me.

my note 4 n910t did that at first now it wont focus unless i hit the camera then it starts auto-focusing..

Mine started to have this issue too. Shaking it makes it focus again but I shouldn't have to do that.
If I hand the phone over to someone to take a pic I can't expect them to shake the phone first.

Same thing is happening to my friend, will using a new camera app fix it?

This is a hardware problem and is apparently common thing. Unlike other phones out there, this camera has moving parts since its an optical image stabalizer (OID), could have been sticking from transport. Slapping the phone will help it focus. You can do a warranty claim or if its still new, just exchange it.

i think its a hardware . i was thinking bout having it replace but im over to 14days period. i hate the fact that we bought it brand new and they will replace it with a refurb one and loose the resale value (imei will not match the box) there's a shop here in chicago that charging me 50usd i might go with that. i wonder what fix will they do. i hope they replace the module.

BAD ASS NOTE 4

i might do it just worried what will they be doing to fix it. i hope they change the camera modules itself. this issue really frustating.

Well the module is only 19-30 so I think they would change it. Tell them u want it changed and want the old one back.

I actually just bought a new camera module off eBay lol

S10 rattling

This is gonna be a bit long, so please bare with me.
So, I have an S10 that I bought a day or two after christmas. I got mine at an equivalent Big W or Walmart for about 45% off the launching price. It was the first batch of the S10 to be made btw. It was flawless up until today I guess. I noticed that something was rattling. Only when I shake it back and forth, side to side still rattles, but not much. I covered the buttons with my fingers and shook it just to make sure it wasnt the buttons, it wasnt. So I took out the sim tray, and noticed the noise got louder. After not knowing what it is, I googled it up, and found many threads pointing towards it could be the cameras a.k.a the OIS. So I opened the camera app with the main lens and shook it again, it got quieter, only by a hair. Literally, it was barely any quieter, I switched to the tele lens and found the same results, it only got quieter by a hair. Switching to the ultrawide and the noise became normal, normal as in the noise didnt soften as the other 2 lens. Ive also looked online that Samsung would refuse a replacement. But heres the thing, it also affects video and audio recording, granted I doubt that anyone would shake their phones while recording lol. The point is, it affects the user experience. If it didnt, Id try to get over it. The warranty policy for the place where I got is a bit more strict than other vendors. The policy is if you buy a discounted phone with them, the device will not be eligible for a replacement, if anything goes wrong. The device will only be eligible for repairs under warranty. Which is my case. I looked for videos online, and they have similar problems. However, mine seems quite louder than the ones on Youtube. This really bugs me. Im the type of person that if I find a defect or imperfection, I couldnt get over it. (-_-) Any suggestions on what I should do? The current situation prevents me from going outside my house :/ Ill attach a couple of clips below. One is showing the phone, the other one while recording.
Oh, and yesterday I left my phone on my wireless charger and when I checked again, it wont charge. The phone says its charging, but the number wasnt going up. It was really hot too for some reason (45c). So I tried the wired method, using the stock charger. Again, it wouldnt charge, it got hot also. Ive done a restart before I tried charging with the cable. So I shut it down, and let charge using the cable. The next day it was fine. Ive installed One UI 2.1 the hour it got released, so I doubt its a software issue. Im pointing this out because we know that the S10 lineup has a non-replaceable charging port. This is where my warranty policy comes into play again. -_-
Thanks if you read it all through, and (if) replying. Im torn at this point..

The rattle is normal. That's indeed just the OIS you are hearing rattle. Every phone I had with OIS did this

It's normal don't worry about it. In order for your camera to take steady videos while recording your camera moves in accordance to your movement so the image on your screen is not shaky. The noise you hear is actually the camera moving when you shake it. Also who the f shakes their phone? Leave it well and truly alone this is the way the phone is designed. If you still don't understand it take the phone back and get something else. But then again a lot of new phones have this now.

Hey its the back camera sensor, which offers variable focus aperture(I think), there is a mechanical part, you can also hear a mechanical sound when u open camera app, or switch (f1.8-2.4 in pro mode.

I can hear the aperture change I'm aware of that. It's just the OIS just rattled out of the blue.

Just checked and indeed, mine does exactly the same. My old S9+ also did this, however I only noticed after it broke (random boot loops every few weeks after a reset).
Appears from what people are saying, this is normal, so don't worry
