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.

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.

Hi guys, hope you can help me. I recently discovered a problem with my note. There is no touchscreen response at the lowermost right edge of the phone. I discovered it while i was drawing in smemo. I was surprised when i couldnt put color at the edge of the screen. The area with no response is about 2mm in length and width.
Is this normal? Should i return my note?

This idea came about after my brother was held up at knife point for his Note II. He was just commuting home at night but thankfully nothing really bad happened to him.
I commute and I hate the idea of losing my new Note II. So, I modified my old wood covered planner by cutting out the paper layers to form a niche for the Galaxy Note II. I considered including the silicone casing to tighten secure the device into place.
I control the device with a smart watch like the old Sony Ericsson LiveView and my wireless stereo remote earphones. My main line is another common smartphone. The Note serves as my secondary line. I can quickly make calls, read & reply sms (pre composed) via the smart watch.
You just need to use the Note in safer places and not flaunt by using it while in the mod planner for long periods of time. It would also help that you install a screen dimmerv app so as the light will not to give away that you have the Note in it and keep your phone in discreet mode with just vibration alerts.
While most are flaunting this great device, it's less likely that the would-be robber will suspect that the Note is in the planner. The secondary phone is your "smoke-screen" device you will surrender.
In this way, there's no need to do any struggle especially when he has a gun pointed at you.

Would have been great if he had one of the security apps that take a picture and send it to your email - like lookout and avast... Could have gotten a pic of the thief!

The previuous post are shots after I managed to cut the inside of the planner. It took me 2 hours to cut and an overnight of drying out the Elmer's glue with a small paint brush on the interior side of the cut out edges.
Choose a planner/notebook that has flexi-band to keep it closed.

Wouldn't the light from the screen give it away?

Oh, I check the forum and we are all talking about gun control?
Sigh. Ok, back on topic - the screen light would give it away at night. I imply the screen filter to dim it down at 20%. I recommend that you put your browsers at negative or dark backgrounds. I guess you have a settings when you have it in there. It isn't going to be 100% elimination of light bouncing off the opposite page.
The point of going through this trouble is concealment of your device while you travel or commute. It's about an extra layer of precaution. Keeping it out of sight will somehow lessen the provocation of a hold-up. And in the event of a hold-up, be it with whatever threat of life, just give your cheap secondary phone.
There is no point of dying for something you can replace.

Of course not in the dark. I meant at night in a lit place. The point is - concealment; stealth; secret; not obvious; discreet; hidden; disguised...
I put the Note II in the planner when I am traveling or commuting to another place. I remove the Note entirely from the planner without showing that I have taken it out for long use in a cafe, or safe public places. You can conceal this process of taking it out or putting it back in inside your bag.
When you do need to do something with the Note's UI, it should be brief enough and unnoticeable. Backing up to a wall is one way. With the first S Pen on a holder accessory, you would look like you're jotting down something.
Other than concealment, the planner keeps the Note damage safe from drops.

Mxyzptlk, yes, the reading light is plausible. I have one, but that would be attracting attention more. But I certainly can see the long time usage of this deception. Yes, I can do this too.

I was really thinking of using it only in situations where your handset's light would otherwise ruin the effect. But I can see the reading light drawing attention too. I guess it's use would have to be occasional and with a judgement call.

My further development for the planner is to use a page and cut it exactly the Note II's screen profile and to cover the rest. I seem to be able to trigger the back and option capacitive buttons through the paper. The front paper can be held in place by using Blutack.
I still have 2 extra planners to experiment on, probably integrating the first S Pen with the holder accessory into the niche. Any further suggestions are appreciated.

Damn, that's really unfortunate. My friend had his iPhone taken in the middle of the day. The guy asked if he could make a call, then walked out of the store, and when my friend followed him, he said he had a knife and to walk the other way.
I understand where you're coming from with this mod, but in all honesty, the best way to prevent getting into a situation like this is to be smart. Of course I don't know the full story, but my advice to anyone is keep your phone concealed whenever you can and be mindful of your surroundings. May seem paranoid (Hey, I'm kinda tall for my age but I'm also pretty skinny), but I'm always watching around me for anything/one suspicious - especially when walking down a dark/sketchy side street.
Glad your brothers safe though. Situations like this can turn ugly fast.
I still have my old HTC Amaze 4G, so I'm working on finding a VNC server app for my Note II and a client for my Amaze, and then simply tethering my Amaze to my Note. Then I can leave the Note in my pocket connected to my headphones, and control it with my Amaze.
Allan, what does VNC stand for? I was thinking about doing some remote interface contro

Chris82o, even first world countries aren't immune to robberies. I opt to be safer and without fear of losing an expensive device.

SwiftLegend, thanks. I do the same defensive precautions. This concealment is another layer. I wish for an E-ink version to kill off the strong light.
Anyway, i got some new ideas for the 2 extra planners I have. I will post them soon.

If you are looking at an extreme angle to the right side of the screen you may see a bright line. This is not light leakage. The light is not leaking out.

When I look at the top right corner at just the right angle there is a white dot. Any other angle and it disappears. Thought it could be a stuck pixel, but now I'm not sure.
First HTC One I got had a light leak in lower right corner. Turn phone to the side with screen on, and there was a small rectangularish light spot that shown through the glass edge. It was maybe a couple millimeters wide. Not a big deal.
Got a replacement phone (long story, involves a drop and insurance), and there's no light leak that I saw. Wish I had the old phone for proof.
Whatever the case, with the first phone I could live with it. Wasn't a big deal to me. There's some really minor build quality issues, like my replacement phone (which was a brand new phone, not a refurbish) has a hairline gap between the top metal and the white plastic. Again, nothing really bothersome. It's trivial, and certainly not wide enough to fit anything other than a really thin hair through. So you could take your chances for a replacement, or live with it.
Hi, I have two notes, I Just sold one a litlle time ago, and I have noticed that the Screen looks dirty in some parts of the Screen, like sand color and is more look in White colors like Facebook app, in one of my Galaxy this covered only half Screen and I could See like a smiley in a corner, in the other this color cover almost 90% of the Screen, something know about this? I have to say that mi phones have been of second hand.

Look up the "burn in" / screen burn in thread. I believe this is your issue. If that is your problem, it is not fixable. All the knowledge you desire is in that thread. Read the first few pages and then skip to the last few pages.
