Home button light leak - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey everyone,
Just received my note 2. I have noticed a light leak coming from the left side of the home button. It is visible only in the dark. Is it normal or do I have a defective device

ugg seen that before , it looks like button is unlevel
My second Sprint replacement had that going on, I never checked for light leak though.
Swap for another

Actually my home button is pretty much level. It's just this small dot of light that annoys mw. Its on my replacement as well. I just dont if it's normal.

I'm finding that hard to believe...lol
But it's not Google+'s problem.
Driver issues.
Have him take his phone back.
Well I don't see why he would lie.... but I'll suggest it to him.

Maybe he's not lying but doesn't know which way is up?
Some people are vertically challenged you know.
I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue. But thanks for trying.

Which phone did he have? I believe some phones have this problem when sending video through the ffc.

This. The HTC EVO had this problem running CM7
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
one of you is using a custom ROM that broke it. probably him.
I had an issue similar to this with Fring once. I as using an SGS running CM7 and my GF was on an X-Play with stock 2.3. I know it's not SGN related, but I've seen upside down video before. Never fixed it.
sorry for the off topic, but can we start a video chat from our phone only with g+? I never tried video chat of any kind and wanted to try it but have nobody else i know using g+...
Yes you can use g+ to video chat if Tue other person has g+.... I have a fully stock gnex and he has a 4g evo... I told him it was his phone and he kept blaming mine...either way just thought I would see if anyone else had this issue

I'm seeing the same results

My wife's phone and my phone have exactly the same issue you're describing.
I've logged the issue here:
productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-plus-discuss/1nCabs7zTns
Google+ Build version 3.0.1.32017166 running on Android 2.3.5. (4.67.651.3) (Sprint).
and Google+ Build version 3.0.1.32017166 running on Android 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod 7.2.0) also running on EVO via Sprint.
It could very well be an EVO issue.

Why does the camera randomly not work?

Sometimes when recording a video, there are vertical lines. And, sometimes when I initiate the camera app, there's just a black screen. Any of these issues fixable? Running stock 2.3.6

Does it do this with other camera apps?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
OP i have the same problem im sending it to samsung for repair
Haven't tried with other apps cause I actually love the stock camera.
I have an HTC Evo and an eee-pad docking station that's currently put for repair..... This issue isn't that much of a deal for me to send back. Guess I'll just deal with it.

Maybe you should try an ICS rom such as stock rooted fe22 and see if the camera still acts up?

Thb.... Kinda nervous to root cause this device could be hard bricked.... Lol. Would rather just wait for the official ics release

Light/proximity sensor question

Does anyone else's sensor glow red? I tried to take a pic using the front cam and a mirror. The glow is very exaggerated in the pic.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Nope. Mines not rooted though.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Note II.
Might want to get it checked out bc mine did that for a while and now my proximity sensor just doesnt work. Im bringing mine to the store to get it replaced
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
just looked at it again and now its off. guess i'll have to start reading up on the unroot how to threads lol.
Yes mine glows red. Even when it wasn't rooted. There are a number of threads about it. Unrooting won't have any effect. I've just gotten used to it.
Well if he brings it in he should unroot it to avoid any conflicts. I pretty much wasted my trip to the sprint store when I went to resolve this issue last week and they simply told me that since I was rooted there was nothing they could do. I knew I could argue but I did not want to waste anymore of my time. I simply unrooted and bringing it back today to another store that doesnt treat their customers like they are idiots.

I'm pretty sure it's because you have the Motion Settings on. Like quick glance etc. That sensor reads what you are doing.

Yep. Turn off Quick Glance and the light will turn off.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I've seen mine glow red a few times, rooted or unrooted. Frankly it doesn't affect anything so I never paid much mind to it.
Of course XDA members are known for OCD, so im sure we have some ready to TEP it cause of it.

S pen not working on edge of screen.

Is this normal? I used a s note and just drew lines to the outside of the screen and you can see where the spen stops responding. The right is worse than the left. Does anyone else get this?

Ok noticed you said replacement #4!! ouch that's bad you had to do it 4 times:banghead:. But anyhow you need to call in and let them know you'll like a new phone!!! Because of the time you have to waste waiting on a replacement!
And that all of the refurbish crappy ones they sent you were no good.. after so many refurbished phones have been sent out. They'll usually send the customer a brand spanking new 1. Ya may want to request it having so many PROBLEMS!!
