I just got the screen replaced on my Honor Play and now the speaker seems to be distorting when I'm playing audio. I can also see a very small amount of light peeking through where the screen is affixed to the body. I have a 30 day warranty on the screen replacement. I'm worried that they'll refuse to do any further repairs for me. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and should it be an easy fix for them to do?
Thanks.

I think the Nexus 4 is an awesome device, but I have a few issues with it that I haven't seen mentioned.
Screen artefacts: On a grey background if I turn the brightness up to maximum I have two strips running vertically down the screen. They are barely visible unless at full brightness, even then you can hardly see them. The best place to see them is in the notification area, I can see them best in a dark room.
Audio (this one is by far the most annoying): If I plug in head phones and listen to music there is a very slight hiss sound, when the music is quiet or at a silent interval. What's strange is if I pause the music the hiss sound is there for like 5 seconds then disappears. It happens with every track, including YouTube and it happens on different pairs of headphones. The hiss sound only appears if I play music, and as I said it's still there when I stop the track for a few seconds.
Image retention: If I'm on Chrome browsing the web, after about 5 minutes, if I swipe the tab away revealing the grey page with the Chrome logo, and then turn the brightness up fully the URL bar and the URL itself are often visible and even readable. It goes away after like 2 minutes but I'm worried it will eventually remain.
Could anyone try out those steps and see if they also have any similar issues? I don't think I would mind if everyone else had them, but I would be disappointed if mine was a lemon.
Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Sorry I should have made the poll multiple choice lol, I voted for the headphone hiss since it was the most annoying.
Concerning "screen artefacts": I got these, but I'm afraid they're worse, because I can barely see them at the minimum brightness when in a dark room (my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052338).
Audio: don't worry about that because I've heard that on many devices (like mp3's or my previous LG Swift); the hiss just stops after few seconds from stopping playback. Maybe it's worse than I imagine that...
To respond to the Chrome issue (ghosting): I haven't seen anything like this so far... maybe my eyes are just not as sensitive as yours

Thanks very much for your reply!
I looked at the picture you posted, and yeah that's exactly like mine I double checked and if I look really carefully I actually can see them at minima brightness, though it's definitely more visible at higher brightness.
Do you have the hiss on your device?
Have the lines, so faint I couldn't careless about them. No hiss or ghosting on mine. I think this is a case of if you want a problem with the device you will find one. Everyone has such high standards lol.

I know, I don't really mind about the lines that much (it's not that bad compared to the artefacts on an AMOLED), the image retention is a little worrying though, but the headphone hiss is just plain annoying.
I see a few people have the hiss, how bad is it? Did your other devices have it?
I have the hiss and lines.

Are you going to RMA it? Or does it not bother you that much? This is the first device I've owned that has the hiss. The sound quality is better than my S2, but that fuzzy hiss sound is annoying.
I switched from a purple tint HTC one to this new HTC butterfly s. Here are hardware problems I've encountered.
- purple tint is present 15% of the time in low light conditions especially when the phone is hot .
- when in dark areas, you can see the capacitive touch buttons illuminating the bottom of the screen before the screen turns on.
Anybody else experienced these things? I love the look and speed of HTC products compared to Samsung. But I think theyre not consistent with hardware production

sadly these problems are quite common
1.Yes I get purple tint on my camera but it's just zebra stripes in EXTREMELY low light after prolonged use of the phone. The camera naturally prefers a slight purple tint auto white-balance in some light, this is not that unusual because my camcorder do this as well. Under lowlight with HDR video, unfortunately, the purple tint is totally obvious through the whole image, not just stripes.
2. That's also quite normal.
Additional problems I've had:
1. audio clipping at high volumes with heavy bass (it seems users of the M8 are also reporting this)
2. Touch screen responsiveness with keyboard. (sometimes it lags or "sticks" a bit if you type too fast)

Touch screen don't lag or stick for me it's jus too fast

It's because I have sweaty hands and a screen protector.
I also noticed some stuck pixels on my unit, but it's too late to replace it now.
Don't use screen protector it causes problems when typing

I had serious purple tint, HTC replace the cam and now it had zero purple tint. Quite sure it is a hardware fault at least in my case

Is this a normal hardware problem or physical damage?
Fresh out of the box, headphone jack seemed to make a crackling when a headphone plug is spun around but that went away pretty quickly. Now, after months of use, the headphone jack seems to be going too deep for some headphones, causing this buzz sound and left channel to be cut off, unless the plug is in the right place, but it buzzes/cuts off when the headphone plug is touched slightly. It's especially bad with headphones that have an inline mic/remote. It also seems to have become rather loose now...
Has anyone else experienced this?

This sounds perfectly normal to me. I noticed this with most new audio jacks, be it new earphones or new phone or laptop or whatever. It's perfectly reasonable, though – when a new jack comes fresh out of factory, its surface is not perfectly smooth and by twisting it around, the resistance in the contact changes a bit, resulting in crackling. After a while, the surface gets smoothed out a bit by friction and the effect disappears.

This, on the other hand, really appears to be a mechanical failure.
yeah =/ I'm not sure if it would be under warranty either because it might have resulted me from accidentally pulling out the headphones a few times (happens when I'm commuting and need to make a run). It also depends heavily on the kind of headphones I use. Just bought a new pair of (cheap) earphones today and the plug went too deep causing the left channel to be cut off. A more "sturdy" plug does not do this although it may still buzz if pressed hard into the headphone jack.
I can also see something greyish and red at the bottom - only visible when a light is shined through. It might be dust and paint.
I've seen some reports that this is reported on HTC One M7 and some other phones, with one mod being to put a layer of tape on top of the headphone jack so the plug doesn't go in as deep or attaching rings to the bottom of the headphone plug.
I got my crystal pro on Sunday, overall really happy with it (will be even happier when I get .124 and the improved AOD!) but am noticing a very slight rattle when tapping on certain parts of the screen.
It only happens when I tap the top right part of the screen, it is very minor but is certainly not consistent with the rest of the display. It is the part of the screen that will be sitting adjacent to the rear cameras so maybe it is the camera mechanism? Probably normal but I am kind of OCD about this kind of stuff.
Anybody else noticing this on their pro?
Same here next to the cameras. I thought it's the OIS but my first p30 pro (display issues) didn't do that or i never noticed it!

I can confirm that it is there, and if you tap and listen closely, the sound is originating from the back, so it's most likely the OIS in the cameras.
But it isn't an issue for me, as you have to use some force while tapping it to hear that rattle, using the phone normally with slight taps like I use every other touchscreen device, I can't hear any rattling sound whatsoever.
Hello,
There's a strange rattling noise when I move the phone back and forth like something is loose inside the phone near the camera module. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is this related to the gimbal/OIS or a defect? I don't remember if I had this from day one, just noticed it a couple of days back.
Regards.
I have the same thing, Chinese version. Noticed from day 1, no issues with camera. I'm assuming it's the gimbal
Having something similar when i play games and there is vibration, only noticeable at night when there is absolute silence. I suppose its the gimbal, no problems whatsoever, and only noticeable on no noise at night.
Yes, it is the Camera stabilization system and it is natural.
Dear all,
I had problems with my Note 10 virtual proximity sensor over the last months and it went worse from day to day.
Reading details in how the sensor works, I tried to figure out what might cause it not working properly.
The sensor seems to use the top ear phone speaker to broadcast ultrasonic sound and detecting whether it reflects.
So this lead me to the assumption, that a dirty speaker might cause trouble.
Now that speaker is so small that cleaning it is difficult.
This is what I tried:
I took a very small needle and rubbed it from left to right and back and forth on that speaker. I tried to get off as much dirt and dust as possible from it very small holes.
Difficult approach, but you might try that a well. A needle, some cleaning liquid, something to blue away that dust.
After I tried I first noticeably that the ear phone speaker was much louder again and testing with a WhatsApp voice message and with the CIA test menu, the sensor reacted much much better.
I'll give it some more days of testing but wanted to share those thoughts with you!
Let me know if you also have success
Best regards,
Christian
is there any fixed or module?
Promoting my app that blocks screen during phone calls.
It will help to minimize effects from non-reliable ultrasonic proximity sensor.
So even if screen suddenly turns on you'll not press something by ear or cheek.
