Does anybody else have a weird black line going horizontally in the camera mode towards the bottom, and a white line going vertically? This is bothering me alottttttttttttt.

does this happen when you are outside or inside?
FLUORESCENT loghts tend to do ths effect.
both. its as if its scratched but its not. I havnt abused the phone. flashed it a billion times. is there a new camera driver out. could that have something to do with it
Hey guys, I'm wondering something here.
First of all, check out the attached image to understand fully.
Now, my desire leaks light and sent to repair couple of times.
So please ignore the leak from underside of the brown "frame" since that part is now fixed.
However, the light leak from "HAL2000 eye" is NOT fixed at all, so I'm wondering,
Is this light leak normal? As in you guys got same kind of light leak from the side of the "HAL2000 eye" or is it faulty.
It's quite annoying when operating desire in the dark tbh.
Appreciate answers! Cheers.
Noticed a tiny part doing that but I don't notice it in day to day use - just happened to be clearing dust and saw it...
i don't know whether its normal but i've got a bit of light leaking on the left side of the optical eye and a little bit in the frame above the search button. But its not too noticeable to be honest. Yours seems to be leaking a bit more than mine.
@EddyOS
care to shoot some pics so I have something to compare?
@alio993
I reckon your frame is somewhat skewed/warped.
I was afraid it was entry way for dust to enter behind the screen meself.
Maybe you should get it fixed as well?
Got a silver Desire here and zero light leaking from the HAL button so it's not standard that it does, or im just lucky
There will be variation between all hansets to some degree due to manufacturing tolerances. Nothing is perfect!
True, but I think that's just bad QC if you ask me...
I have no light leaks, except out of the headphone port... And it looks like my trackball is much more accurately seated than the OP's... There's no visible gap anywhere around it, and its at pretty much the same level as the rest of the chin.

I have exactly the same. Left side of the optical ball and above the search. What are the odds?
Isn't it great that after a couple of updates, some tweaking and advice from the forums, silly non issue stuff like this is all we have left to moan about?
Great phone.

Yeah, I remember when some models had serious issues with creaking, dust and so on.. A bit of light leakage of nothing.
Mine has a bit to the left of the HAL. Not noticeable in normal use unless you turn of to the side and look closely.
Non issue? Think again.
If that light leak on the frame eventually become the entry point for the dust, The sensitivity for the screen can be compromised in the shorter span than 2 years.
Reduced sensitivity, maybe even dead 1/3 of the screen.
Do you really think it's non issue yet?

From the picture you've shown and the light leakage I'm seeing on mine, which I've never even noticed until actually looking for it, it would take an almost microscopic particle of dust to get in there. Not criticising you but I'm saying, it's not air tight. The holes for the speaker and the mic are several times larger than the pinholes of light you're talking about. Are you going to tape over the 3.5mm headphone jack?
Well, I noticed them the same evening I got Desire myself (without looking for them that is)
True, it's far from air tight, but I'm seriously hoping that HTC thought about those glaring openings (speaker et al)
But I doubt they thought about unintentional opening(s) caused by warped frame.
I noticed this too on my previous Desire and a colleagues one.
The new replacement I got has the same thing too and the same light pinkish tint on the lowest brightness setting (which is why I requested a replacement).
It's just a matter of luck frankly and it's why I've stopped caring anymore about these things.

Yes. I have the exact same 2 light leaks where you have them.
They dont bother me as I have a silicone fully body case and the buttons and the frames are covered now.
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.
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 have a strange issue, I think. I was taking some notes with SNote when I noticed in the top right hand corner what looked like a very faint pink trashcan icon. Upon further inspection, it appears to be a circuit board outline. There are also two very pink 1/2" squares along the right hand edge near the bottom of the phone. There are also three equal size and spaced dots on the bottom right hand corner. Very faint, but noticeable on the white backgrounds.
There are there no matter what app is running.
Has anyone had this issue? What causes it? It happened nearly instantaniously while I was simply using it in my hand.
I just went to ATT. They say it is screen burnout. Turns out it is an app that I always have open. Under warranty, I just have to call Samsung
