Hi all!
I just got my Desire yesterday and haven't had the time to root it yet.
When mocking around with the camera i noticed that on the screen there was a red line fairly centered. My initial thoughts was that this was like a center measuring point or something, but it turns out is sticks on the actual photos taken, like on the attached pictures (that are _completely_ untouched).
It's a bit transparent, so it's almost as if it's a line drawn by a red very thin marker.
It still shows after flipping the back cover off, and I can't see a drawn line on the actual optic (just tried with a regular magnifying glass ... nothing fancier than that).
Anyone had this same problem?
I'm thinking of sending it back since it seems to be a HW-defect, but just wanted to check in with you guys first
So I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this on their device, or if I'm just going crazy. The metallic frame/band that runs along the outside of the phone appears to be raised slightly higher in relation to the glass on the right side of the phone (facing you) than on the left. If I run my finger over the screen and the edge there is a noticeable difference between the screen and the frame on the right side of the screen but not on the left, top, or bottom. I don't know if this is just some sort of imperfection, like the glass is recessed on that side or if it's just how the phone is. Anyone see something similar on their device?
I notcied it on mine too.. Just slightly though.. Not enough to notice until I pick it out. Thought I was the only one with eyesight going bad.

You are not the first person iv heard of with a problem like this so i would have it checked out by the people you got it from and get an exchange if possible..
I have noticed this too. I have a Verizon S4 and have been looking for anyone else with this problem. I don't know about you but it is driving me nuts having the unevenness feeling when I hold the phone. Please update if you try to get a replacement.
I've heard about the purple tint, scratches and so on, but couldn't find any other examples of the weird artefact my M8 started to display on the bottom-left part of the photos a few weeks ago. It wasn't dropped or anything - this has just suddenly appeared one day.
Has anyone encountered stuff like this?

Isn't that just a sticker? Reset your camera to default settings

It's no sticker. The camera has been reset, cache has been cleared, the artefact is there. It disappears from view when I zoom in, and changes shape when I use filters. Don't think it's software.

If you're sure it's hardware, can't do anything else except having it repaired, right?

You're being a bit condescending. I have recognized that I'm not an expert by coming here and asking a question, no need to drive this point further. That said, it's not as simple as "hardware issue = send for repairs". Stuck pixels on LCD monitors sometimes can be fixed. Camera sensors can sometimes be told to disregard faulty data. I'm looking for knowledge, not snark.
To me, looks like some sort of debris, possibly caught between the outer camera "glass" (probably plastic, based on how easily a lot of folks have scratched it) and the actual lens of the sensor itself. I can see a couple specks of dust caught like this on my phone when it was brand new (out of the box), but fortunately in my case they do not appear in photos. You would think the assembly of these devices would happen in some type of dust-free environment. But unfortunately, this is obviously not the case.
If I am correct (that its some kind of dust/debris), I don't think there is much you can do about it without taking the phone apart, or at least the outer lens (if that even comes out by itself).
My screen seems to be showing a bit of warping right at the bottom of the screen near the back and home buttons, right on the edge of the screen. Not so much that you notice but it warps the light if you use the screen to reflect the world, and only in that spot. Bit disappointed considering its a totally flat piece of glass!
Anyone else got this issue? Might get onto three about it. I'll see if it's widespread first.
I'll try get a picture later, or video if I can.
Warped like raised wavy or warped like wrapped screen that goes downwards into it at the edge? If either of those makes sense..
I saw that when in 120hz mode, but it looked more like an intended effect to me. It wasn't unpleasant in my eyes.
Also seemed to only happen on long scrolling windows. Short scrolling I could not see it.
I would say it's a pinch under the glass, but the glass looks fine, just reflections of the surroundings in the glass so right where the back button is. It's definitely not lifting and looks flat, but the light dances and create an almost m shape. It's far from anything serious, as you need to look for it, but just something to keep an eye on for early adopters.
I don't think the screen refresh affects it, as I can recreate with screen off.
Got pics from the screen, using my **** ipad camera. But you can see the warp. The white shelf is flat, being a shelf, so you can see it shows as straight up the screen then at the bottom forms an m shape.

Huh, i can see what your on about.
Mine doesnt have that, so maybe your device has a defect.
I'm a bit concerned as my bottom camera lens is sitting off centre to its enclosure. See attached image. From what I understand there is some movement of the lenses for stabilisation, but I thought that was just the top and middle, and they revert back when the camera app is opened. However, the bottom one constantly sits to the bottom right, even after launching camera app. Is this bad workmanship or completely normal? Anyone else's the same?
Try rotating the phone and keep watching the lenses. See what happens.

Bottom lens stays still - the others move. The actual enclosure doesn't seem in line with the other lenses.
none of the three lenses should move. return it.

They actually do move as they're equipped with Optical Image Stabilisers. https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/note9-camera-not-centered/
I'm just wondering about the housing and whether others who have this phone have an off centre enclosure on the bottom lens. Anyone else? Yes or nos accepted as responses... Am considering returning it. Not sure it's a big issue but a bit annoying if it's dodgy build quality.

You're absolutely right - I stand corrected - my apologies. I just assumed that's why the other two were off centre. Will take it to exchange. Hoepfully they're not all like this. Thanks!
