Light bleed !!

Im very picky so first I notice a tiny chip in the surrounding metal and I can feel it by hand, but I thought oh well this is ok if the screen is perfect. but then when I turned the brightness to max, I noticed light bleed at the upper corner. It's also noticeable at 50%. RMA asap.. shame I just got it today, the replacement could take up to 3-5 weeks. Actually I ordered this for my bro who is oversea so I need to get the replacement before the last week of january for my uncle to bring it oversea to him, and this makes me worried if it takes till february. I don't wanna send a defected one to my bro and he's really looking forward to this.

This is the extent of my light bleed (pic below).
I've decided to keep it regardless; I don't invest much time looking at a blank screen when using my phone but if your brother does, godspeed and good luck.

I have 3 noticeable light bleeds all on top. Nothing like the poster above me. But I'm definitely keeping mine.

Turn any LCD to full brightness and you get it, the only reason you don't see it from the media is they all have auto brightness on which solely exists to hide this IMO..
If it bothers you then use OLED.
The so called amazing Retina screens Apple have used have the same issue when you turn it up full brightness....

Wao... actually mine is better than this (only 1 at the top right corner). But consider this is a phone ..light bleed is not acceptable whatsoever. On a tablet it might be ok. I can keep this N4 till I het the replacement. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

You might be right... I have a S3 and there's zero light bleed on every unit ive seen (3 total) since its amoled. Ive never owned a lcd phone so I dont know. But if this is a common issue for lcd screen then im ok with that. I just dont wanna buy a defected one.

Auto brightness exists to save battery and increase brightness only when necessary, not hide light bleed

I find auto brightness to be perfectly acceptable on my nexus 4 (way better than gnex) and notice no light bleed . only time I notice it is on the boot screen

I have similar light bleed on my screen but I never have my phone on full brightness and at auto I notice no light bleed so I am content with that. No other issues with the phone so will not be RMA it just incase I get a phone back with other problems.

lol.. will lg ever learn? this happened on the g2x (but worse).

I have a little on the top right of my screen. I do notice it, especially since I'm coming from an AMOLED screen. This phone is easy better, and I don't want to RMA it and chance getting one with a big problem. But my Nexus 7 uses an LCD a well, and there is absolutely no light bleed. My HTC ReZound had no light bleed, and neither did my LG Spectrum... both of which use 720p LCD panels, though slightly smaller ones. So, I'm a little frustrated. But, it's still the best phone I've ever used

any amoled cannot have light bleeding because the technology works differently.
LCD screens have a light behind a liquid display the display cannot emit light and requires an alternative light source to be behind it to shine through so think of it as a sandwich (backlight) / LCD / (glass)
ideally there should be material that prevents most of the light from escaping around the LCD itself however its not a 100% seal hence you get light on the edges; small devices like phones its more noticeable cause the light does not need to travel as far making the issue seem worse. generally this is a normal part of LCD technology however if it is EXTREME you should RMA some light bleeding is normal extreme light bleed is not.
AMOLED Does not have a back light so there is no external light source that can leak out around the screen itself instead the individual pixels emit the light hence AMOLED will never have light bleeding.
so if you have a little light bleed dont RMA you might get something worse and yours is most likely fine; your just complaining about a normal and acceptable flaw in LCD tech.

I've owned 3 different n4's and they all had light bleed. Noticed all had them in the right top corner, with one unit having more bleed at the bottom left. Don't rma it unless it's pretty bad

[Q] HTC ONE Light Bleed

I bought htc one of phones4u and i notice when watching videos or something with a dark background, light bleeds from the home button on to the screen. The light bleed comes from the bottom right hand corner of screen, looks like there is missing a bit of seal from the screen so the light comes through, so i arranged for an exchange as i wanted it perfect and it was annoying, anyway just received my second handset and guess what still the same problem, It is not the same phone if any of you guys thinking this!! As the problem with this new phone is the light is bit more on the side and worse. So two phones both with the same problem.
Have any of you guys had this problem?? as i have scanned the internet and i cannot see anything about this issue. Surely i can't be the only one!!
I will be sending this back for a third time if it happens again will probably be getting the s4.

I have not had this problem nor heard anyone else with it. Can you get a picture?

I just tried this. I found I could see a tiny bit of leakage from the back button. But only if I went into the room with no windows, all lights off, and gave my eyes about 20 seconds to adjust....then I could "just" see it. I would never ever have noticed this in normal usage and I imagine some will not be able to see it on my phone at all.

The time i finish work it is pretty dark, so this is why i notice it. Mine is def worse than yours you can clearly see it best way to do it is to be in a dark room and put brightness right down on htc one, i will try and take a photo later for you guys to see.

I have light leaking where the screen meets the body. Is this common?

My first one had this issue, just like in photo above.
The replacement is perfect light bleeding wise..

I also have this issue like the photo above in the exact same spot. Mine is only a pin hole tho.

Was really surprised to see this topic. My HTC One has easily been the most flawless screen I've ever owned. I've had some light bleeding, even if barely noticeable to anyone who doesn't have severe OCD, on almost every LED-backlist display I've used...until this phone. Even my new Nexus 10, which I settled on after many exchanges, has minor light bleeding.

Just checked my phone, don't have this issue. If possible, I'd contact the seller you purchased it from or get in contact from HTC to check out the warranty.

I came across the same issue. Anybody knows what's the cause of the issue? and how to repair it!
i'd appreciate it!

[Q] Blacklight visible from screen edges

Anyone else experiencing visible blacklight from the screen edges? I have a very pronounced strip of blacklight coming from my right hand side when viewing bright content from a slight angle. Compared to the other side, it looks like a defect.

Pictures below

It`s totally normal the led`s are not on the back, but on the side of the screen and a light guide channels the light across the screen, this is what happens on every lcd screen, the word back-light is an misnomer.
EDIT: so the white led`s are at the right side of the screen and light goes across the screen to the left side, that is why the light does not show on the left side as much.
But the light should not be excessive., if it is get it replaced.
John.

Yeah. I know that this is how edge led lit LCD's work. But does every H1 owner have this clearly visible strip along one edge?
I can see it to a much lesser extent on my father's H1.
My old HOX does not have this at all. The HOX screen even looks better as it seems like it is floating on the glass surface!

I have check my One five times for dead pixels and for backlight leakage and i saw nothing.
I just checked for backlight leakage again using lcdtest at full brightness though all the colors, and mine is very very slight, really nothing at all
Yours is quite bad, if it`s bothering you get an exchange, but you dont know what you will get.
EDIT : I had a HOX and the display was perfect, but after 2-3 days i had a yellow patch show up, and i returned it and got an S3 instead.

Thanks. Anyone else care to check their screens? I have the opportunity to send it in for a repair, but unsure if I want to be phoneless the next few weeks...

Green tint when N6 is tilted

Guys I'm noticing this green tint on the glass/screen when the phone is tilted. Its green from all the angles, only when you look at the screen head on you see white. So all whites appear to be green when phone is tilted. This thing is screwing with my eye when I shift from PC to N6 or TV to N6.
Only at extreme angle the camera that I have is able to capture that green tint but to the eye it is visible at the slightest tilt.
Wanted to ask you if you'll are noticing similar issue? Can you please check, post pics from diff angle or even upload a video. It would be very helpful as I can go ahead and consider a replacement if the unit is defective.
Video (sorry about the quality)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFXjRy2sDUk&feature=youtu.be

The verge review mentioned this, mine have it but less noticeable, also didn't bother me at all, I never look the phone at that angles.

this is just a normal amoled thing i believe, my device has it too

Normal for AMOLED displays.

So what do you'll think? Should I ask for a replacement as it is more noticeable then the rest? When I'm on the PC and the phone is sitting on the desk right below the monitor from this angle the top half of the screen is green and the lower half is whitish. Is it normal in the case of amoled displays? Again this is my first device which has an amoled display, never used one before so my eyes may take time adjusting to it. I'm just worried about the unit being defective.

Check the screen for pink and yellow tint, there is a forum about it. The green/blue shift is normal as the nexus 6 uses last generation amoled screens like the ones found on the note 3 and galaxy s4

Is this the yellow pink tint you speaking about? Didn't notice this thing until you mentioned. I think a replacement is needed ...what do you say?
First pic is at max brightness adaptive display setting turned off.
Second pic is the wallpaper I used
Third has brightness at 50% adaptive display setting turned off.

My Nexus has a pink patch on the screen so I'm going to get it replaced but people are saying that it is a lottery and you might get a worse device.
Give it a try, you've paid for the device and it is your right to receive a device without flaws

[Q]Auto Brightness problem

Is anyone having issue for the auto brightness?
The screen brightness adjust automatically, but is too dim in a dark environment.
Wanna know if anyone have this issue? Or my Z3+ have problem with the sensor.

Does it get bright enough under direct sunlight? If so, the sensor is probably good. Now in my case, it does get quite dim in a completely dark room. It's a good thing. I wish it could get dimmer!
You could also run a service test on the 'ambient light sensor' by dialing #*#*SERVICE*#*#. In a fully dark room, mine reads 0 as it should.

Yes. Bright enough under direct sunlight, and 'ambient light sensor' also reads 0 in a dark room now (not fully dark, with PC monitor screen on).
I think mine is too sensitive at the dark environment. I was on the street around sunset yesterday, and the screen go very dim.
I will test the 'ambient light sensor' tomorrow around sunset time again.

Did you remove the screen plastic. Sounds silly but I didn't for a few days. I didn't realize it was there and i can now reduce my brightness level a lot which will also help with battery.
There are 2 covers one you remove and one that stays, I think

That's good to know. I thought the second one (factory screen protector) might come off with the Sony logo like it did on Xperia Z
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/03/2...-the-xperia-z-screen-protector-sony-logo-too/
Btw, did you try to slide up the 'Brightness Level' under display setting even though the 'Adaptive brightness' is on? It should set the minimum brightness level higher. It's more like semi-auto brightness on the recent Android version. So try it out when it feels dim to you next time in order to find a suitable 'brightness level'

Do you know if the original screen protector is also shatterproof? or is it just some cheap crappy one?

It does not bright enough under direct sun.

Seems it is a cheap crappy one.
BTW FYR I only removed the upper one.

The upper one with texture should be removed the second might as well be left in place until it gets scratched, its pretty okay and does the work. As for the back I taped on the texture one until I get a back protector. Kinda silly to not include one from Sony's side
