I have read other threads about users noting that the "glow" around the four buttons along the bottom of the screen is excessive but likely normal. My new white gs2 also has a couple little "lines" or bands of light when the keys are lit between the outer bezel and the screen. They're only a millimeter long or so but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and could, perhaps, post a pic of their white gs2 in the dark with the touch buttons illuminated.
Thanks

I wanted to know if anybody else has experienced this or if perhaps my screen is defective. I have been using swype for some time now. I noticed that if I hold my phone at an angle to the light with the screen turned off I can see what appears to be 2 smudge lines across the screen near the bottom where I have been swyping. I thought okay I need to clean the screen. I cleaned the screen and it is still there. I had a screen protector on and removed it because I thought it was problem but it is the actual screen.
Hi,
My physical buttons were barely working, so after I done a little searching, I used a flex remover on them. The buttons are now fixed, however I forgot my common sense and didn't cover the screen. Now I have a white band on the lower part of the screen. It's like a transparent shape, and it's only observable on bright colors. Any suggestions on how could I fix it?
Hi all
My HOX has even capacitive button lights, and after much research , I know the lights comes from leds and directed over the back of the buttons with light conductive paths.
So I opened up my hox and saw that two of the buttons in question has very dirty/unclear light paths which may be the reason why my buttons are uneven.
Does anyone know if these can be taken out and replaced? I found some light conductive paths online for the evo 4G, was hoping someone who replaced or done something similar before can share some knowledge.
If not then I will try do this myself and post the results.
There is a blue tinted 'smear' in the left center of my phone. I removed my screen protector and realized it wasn't a smudge. It's the screen itself. It doesn't appear in screen shots either. It's apparent with white background.
I also noticed increasingly more dark shadows in my screen when pitch black screens or loading screens show up. They're hard to describe. It's like seeing a lcd with bleeding light but in various smears or shapes.
I've had this since I got the phone on launch day but since then I've noticed the number increase.
I thought maybe I've banged it too much or pressure in my pocket. But I never keep anything in my pocket with my phone besides my leather wallet occasionally. I also had a flip cover too which makes it weirder.
This is a samsung screen thing...most amoled screens have this... I belive its the glue or somthing...if u turn ur screen all the way down and use a screen filter to lower the brightness even more.. it should show up on blacks...there is a thread somewhere buried in qna with same issue.

Hi
Please can anyone tell me which bit of the inside of the phone (or the back cover?) relates to the capacative button brightness?
I changed my back cover from black to white and after doing so the middle button of the three is VERY dim. It looks like it's not lit at all but if I look at it in the dark it is actually still lit but extremely dimly. I was really careful when taking the phone apart but I must have disturbed something that controls these buttons. The two on either side are nice and bright as normal. I have no idea which bit I should be looking at to try to fix it.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Regards x

FIXED
In case anyone stumbles upon this in the future with the same problem the fix was really simple. I located the flex with the lights attached at the bottom, lifted it up and there was a thin black sticky band underneath which I assume was used to hold the flex cable down. Part of the black tape had covered the light, therefore making it less bright. I used tweezers to pull it away and lay it flat and all my lights were of equal brightness again. Simples!
