[Q] Display Problems "Bright Spots" - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my Z3C a while ago
it was fine and works great
till I noticed there was a bright spot near the bottom of the display
and another bright line that goes along the vertical plane of the screen
these whitish discolorations can be seen best when displaying white color
what's your opinions on this?

Question regarding the backlight of my Xperia X1i

Hello,
if I use my X1 in a dark ambience with a dark background on the telephone, I can see that some areas of the display are brighter than others (particularly the top right and left side of the display).
Its only visible in dark areas with a dark picture on the telephone (e.g. the Sony Ericsson start up screen). If I have a colured picture or white picture and if the ambience is bright I cant see the brighter areas anymore.
Is this phenomenon ok or is my X1 damaged?
I think its normal (whether that's OK for you or me is a different question)
There were 2 or 3 threads on this a couple of months back -try searching for "light bleeding" or "screen fade" or "light leakage" and you should find them
Thank you for the post!
Seems that everyone has this problem so it wouldnt be helpful to return it, right?
How do you mean i don't get it.
i don't have any problems with the backlight
Than you are a lucky man

Thnx, I hope i don't get any problems with my backlight or else i would be very upset
My X1 doesn't seem to have this issue
But maybe I should try with something darker than this...
You need to photograph your display while having a dark picture on it. The failure is a physical one, that is why you cant save it with a screenshot.
Another question:
Varies the intensity of the bleeding problem from phone to phone or has the problem everytime the same intensity on every phone in case that the problem occurs?

The top left/right corners are a bit "yellow" for me, I guess that's just normal.
It really isn't noticable most of the time though, so I don't care about it .
Yes you are absolutely right, they are a bit yellow!
And only visible with a black backround, right?
Probably heat related.
Check it with the X1 stone cold, check it when it's been in use for a while.
Sorry but what is the X1 stone cold?

Oops sorry, regional thing I guess.
I mean when it's cold as in hasn't been turned on for a while, hasn't been on charger for a while (and is as cold as a stone )
Hmh as far as I can see is the problem everytime the same. It doesnt matter if the telephone is hot or not.
Old thread, but actual situation...
I have the same problem: on the top right corner (and just a bit on the top left corner) when the display is on and black (start up, panel manager etc.), i see a yellow light...
Should i return it?

screen edge light bleed

Today I've noticed that there is a light bleed on edge of my screen when I look at it with angle. I do not know if it was there before or it is new,but I've noticed when I was trying to root my 2.3.4 update!
any idea? should I take my phone to guarantee service?
Thanks!
Check your phone with the (uhh..) key combination
It's 3845#*970# in my country,don't know if yours the same
do some search
But if it's clearly a screen bleed, take it to the center

I noticed too that the bottom end of the screen, shows some "bleeding" when in total black.
I carefully watched though, that, it's not color bleeding or LCD issue, it's the capacitive buttons back-light which glares from the inside of the screen film.
I turned off the back-light of the capacitive buttons and my screen was plain black.
Give it a try for yourself mate, if it's not plain smooth black, then it's indeed an LCD issue and you have to take it on a service center.
Thank you for replies!
as you see in below images the light is only visible in close angles.
Does anybody have the same problem?
I've tried 3845#*970# and no problem found.
Thanks!
the left one ? the strip of light ?
i think it's just the led

[Q] Does your camera LED flash sit off centre?

Hi guys,
I've just noticed on my Xperia Z that the flash module (the square thing) sits off centre to the top left when looking through the circle window.So basically i cant see the full LED light because the top left of it is covered.
http://i.imgur.com/ZQhQDye.png - You can see the yellow LED square is NOT centered and off to the left.
Does anyone else have this?

Same here

Same here, i think its because the LED should shine in the middle of the phone.
The camera isnt in the centre too
shoot...
thought you said the light shine off centered
so look at the light up LED....:silly:
now have blind spots every where....
I managed to take a picture of this:

Also reports on Whirlpool (australian forum) suggest the same - everyone has this?

I have the same. However I think we are all confused a small bit by what exactly emits the light. If you look closely its a large white square that appears off center as discussed, but within that there is a small yellow square. (The diffuser does make it hard to see, but that's the point of a diffuser, to spread the light evenly) The yellow square sits in the middle of the circle but is at the edge of the white square. The actual light source is the yellow square, the white part is only the mounting for the LED.
BTW. Your port door isn't closed. No Water test till its closed!!

LCD quality question + pic of issue

I know its difficult to see on the picture but my replacement black One on the right is darker at full brightness than my white one on the left.. I know they use different lcd's due to quality issues now and the white one has a stuck pixel so at least the black one is free from that it just doesnt look right and is annoying me.. and input?
Click here for screen shot
PS: when using the camera app the black one seems to always be focusing!! they are on the same settings, software and same looking at the same image, really strange
You are aware that you don't have the brightness turned fully up on the right device aren't you?

LOLOLOLOL that's an epic fail ... OP, surely you can see that in the pic! ... I have the black one and it only focuses when I touch to focus.
Yeah mines the same, works perfectly fine regarding that.
I have sorted the focus issue out with a hard reset they now both perform the same, the brightness is turned down slightly to show the blue colour better..

IR Sensors?

Am I right in saying that there are four IR sensors on this device? I thought I saw one in each corner but lately, whenever I wave my hand over the bottom half of the phone, the screen does not light up.
Yes, if you want to see if they're all working, video record it with another phone or camera, you should see the IR sensors shining.

I tried with an iPhone and nothing came up...
Where is the fourth? Mine only has 3. Bottom two corners and upper right. Mine also does not light up if I wave over the bottom, but I can see the sensors firing, they give off a bit of red light. It's pretty easy to see in the dark, even with a naked eye.
There is only 3 and they are visible with the naked eye. Top right, and bottom corners.

I seem to remember mine working when I passed over the bottom, but now it is not. I can also see them glow red, but they don't seem to work anymore. Did yours ever work?
They never go right. The actual light is invisible to our eyes. You see the red dots when you catch it in certain light. But that's the sensor itself not the light its producing
Yeah my bottoms aren't working either, also if u go into attentive display, it doesn't work for me, the picture never pops up. Anyone care to give it a try, I haven't took the update, didn't know if that was anything for it.

Yup. Maybe an update broke it? I know it worked when I first got the phone then I turned it off.
Edit: they do turn on when I approach the phone. So I know they work.
I hadn't took the update so that's weird, idk hopefully it will be figured out. I see the sensors light up so their working I just can't figure out what's going on, glad its just not my phone.

The red dots go on and off when you move across the bottom of the screen. It's definitely not the sensor itself, because if you hold it in the same angle, the light also goes off.
As far as the bottom of the screen, mine has never lit up my screen by reaching across the bottom. I think the bottom sensors work in conjunction with the gyro, so that when you pick it up it turns on, but the sensors themselves never turn on my phone. If I wave across the upper right one it will though. It's been this way on all 3 Turbos I've had.
The 4th is near the middle on top. You can see them in this video.

The bottom sensors only work in a dark room for me. When the turn on they go bright then dim, and then they will sense my hand. Try it.
