Edge Part of Phone has Faint Lines Down Screen - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Idk if this is 0art of the glass being edged like that, but when I display something white on my s6 edge I notice the kinda rainbow looking colored lines on edges. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it supposed to be like that? Note that it is hardly visible unless you focus on it. Thanks in advance!!!

Bump is a random thing to say.
To get back on topic, I do not have that issue, however, I did see something similar on mine when I applied a screen protector incorrectly..
It sounds like something that could be a defect assuming it was not caused by something you did..
If you get no good answers here I would recomend you contact an expert.

Mine seems good too. You may want to get it exchanged.

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.

Top left light under screen

Hey Guys,
I was just curious if anyone else happens to be experiencing this before I take my phone back into AT&T. When my phone is lying flat and I look across the screen I can see a strange light under the top left part of the screen. I cannot see said light when looking at the screen regularly, only when I look across the phone long ways. The screen has a black rim around the phone that causes you not to see it, so you would have to look at an angel.
I don't know what this light is, but my concern is that it would spread, which I'd rather get taken care of now rather than later if there is a defect in the screen.
Thanks,
RPelham
Bump. Can someone please look at their device and confirm whether this is the case for them? Thanks!

I have the tmo version but I don't see anything unusual.

If anyone has this issue in the future, it was due to a large gap between the LCD3 screen and the gorilla glass. It caused me to see some of the backlight coming through the edge of the screen. Returned it to ATT today and got a phone which so far is completely flawless.

Speaker has weird smudge around it.

So after I got my s5 from att I immediately realized a weird smudge on the left and right side of my front ear speaker. If I clean it with a cloth it disappears and reappears after some light use. Now I am assuming this may be some way the phone protects the speaker from water. However I don't know if other s5 have this as well. It can only be seen on angles while in a good lit room. Looks like finger smudges but doesn't change shape or form only disappears and reappears from wiping it away. Anyone else noticing this or know what it is?

Nothing like that on mine.
That's weird.... I would go back to AT&T and have them replace it, if it bothers you.
I had never noticed, but just looking up at it now I saw them and wiped them away. I guess I'll see if they come back.

Not really a bother to me. You definitely notice it more if you dab a drop of water near it. Other than that it's too high up to notice much.

Yeah, you were probably right, something to do with the water protection. Oh well, if it doesn't bother you, then good.

You guys can try this also. Huff onto the phone. Like breathe hot air onto it to make it foggy near speaker you will notice it for sure if your phone has this weird area too

My original release day S5 had exactly what you are describing. I returned it since it bothered me and this one hasn't had the issue.
I would get a replacement if it bothers you.

Just tried that, nothing showed up.
If it makes a difference, I have a White S5.
I'm pretty sure ATT won't do anything for something that doesn't affect the device use. It has been more than 30 days. And there are minor scuffs on the stupid chrome bezel

Nexus 6 screen wake issue

Hey guys,
I did a search but haven't found any specific reference to this problem so hopefully someone can help.
I've noticed when I'm finishing a call on my nexus 6 and I take it away from my face, the screen doesn't turn back on and it won't respond to the hardware buttons. I have to wait till the other person hangs up before my screen comes back on. Its intermittent but it's really annoying. Anyone else noticed this problem?

Are u using any screen protector? it might cause some issue, u might need to cut off the part that covers the ambient sensor
Hey, I am using a screen protector, the toughened glass ones but I've disabled the ambient mode anyway. The sensor itself is unhindered and it'll work sometimes but it's just failing too often and it's getting really annoying.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Is the protector I bet
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Yeah mine is doing this too. It's annoying as hell. Does anyone have suggestions and how to cut off that part of the screen protector safely to expose the sensors?
It's possible indeed. Gonna order another protector before I peel this off and test. Positioning them on the Nexus 6 is a bit of a pain with the rounded edges on the glass.

Uneven light AFTER screen replacement.

Hi all.
This is a followup to the thread with clear cover cause scratch. Seems like many of us (if not all) have uneven capacitive buttons (brightness), see my photo. How is this possible? Mine was ok before, and my girlfriends untouched S6 is equally bright.
What shall we do about it? If there are many, we must do something. I thought it was just me, a bad screen or something. Seems to be bigger than that..
So please fill in IF you have this issue after replacement of screen. Pic is great, if samsung is reading

My boyfriends untouched gold edge is the same the buttons are holographic. We don't have one button brighter than the other so I think you need to take yours back:banghead:

I don't use the lights under the button's on my edge because I think the phone looks much better without. But I've just switched mine on to test and there both the same brightness. I've not yet had my phone replaced or reared for that matter... so if I have to go down the repair route I'm telling them before they start...make damn sure my buttons light the same or they do it again...
Check before leaving with the handset repaired.
