Black T-mobile USA, Different hardware?

I just recently got my second defy after my first one died from water damage. I bought it BNIB off craigslist and when I opened it with the guy, I noticed it was black. I was a little thrown off by the new color, and I made sure IMEI's matched the box and that everything was untouched, still in packaging. Everything checked out clear. The only time I had seen a black defy was in Germany. I looked at the camera lense, and I couldent 100% tell if it was the green or red. In the sun, it had almost an orange tint. Now that i am inside my home, It seems to have both red and green tints. I remember when this lense debate came up, I could clearly identify my old defy as a green lense. While im not claiming that that the black defy has different camera hardware, ive just noticed a slight difference. If anyone knows any difference besides the color, id love to know.

afaik there's no difference. the color of the lens depends on production date, not device color

The only date I found on the box was 4/26/11, which seems very recent.
The phone came with 2.2.1. The major differences are that the new front half of the phone is a smooth glossy black vs the previously matte rubberized black. Also, the back half of the chassis is black instead of white. I compared the two lenses side by side and they are clearly different. one is obviously green while my new one has a tint of red. However, any reflection of light on the lens looks green. strange.
Does anyone else on this forum have a black defy? Are the front half of black defy's usually glossy?

I've a black one bought in france in november. Glossy front, green lense. Came with 2.21 originally.

How long have you guys in europe had 2.2 for? I though 2.2 sbf's started leaking earlier this year and updates started rolling in a while after.

Mine was bought SIM free in the UK back in early March, i also cant really tell what lens is on the camera and it is glossy black

i've a black one, bought in march in hungary. it came with 2.1 (we still don't have an official 2.2 ), green lens, back half black, glossy front. btw if you can't tell whether you have red or green lens, you probably have a red one, because green is very obviously green and where exactly did you find that date, i can't find any on the box my defy came in?

Capacitive Home Button - Light Leak

Hi,
I've recently bought an HTC One V and I noticed that the LED light below the capacitive home button is leaking, even when viewed on a normal angle.
The other capacitive buttons does this as well but only at an extreme angle.
Any of you experiencing this?
TIA!

unit replaced

I just had my unit replaced. No more light leak below the capacitive home button.
I wanted to post images of it, but I need 8 posts to be able to do so.
Anyhow, buyers might want to check the unit first by covering the light sensor on top (to make the capacitive buttons glow).
Thanks for the views XDA people.

I want to make the capacitive lights bright in daylight also, how do I do that?

hey!
guess what? i had the same EXACT problem, except the leak under my multitask button was visible at even normal view. hopefully i'll get my device replaced by a new one tomorrow too.
what did the guys say to you btw? like what all did they ask? just keen to know!
thanks!

I just showed them the unit. They really didn't say anything nor did they argue. Although I did struggle as the store's lights were very bright, so I had to go under a desk just to be able to show it to them (a bit awkward I have to say).
We had to compare with a new unit and it didn't have the light leak below the home button; but when I got home I noticed that it had the leak somewhere else (it looks like a hot pixel, but when you look at it, it's not really part of the screen but in between the glass and the LCD, which is weird). Will go back tomorrow for another replacement.
I guess if you're getting a replacement, try it immediately at a dark place / room to check for light leaks.

i got my unit replaced today!
no more defects anymore, i checked everything before getting home..
how bout you?

The store only had three units on stock.
First and second one both have light leaks, and the third one had yellow spots on the upper left part of the screen + a silvery dot inside the screen sandwiched between the glass also on the upper left corner.
I cancelled my purchase and decided to just buy again when they have sufficient stock of units without defects, or maybe once screen protectors and cases become readily available from retailers.

sir can I know where did you buy One V? I'll buy one this May..just in case..don't end up there

is the attached screenshot below a white leak??
the white leak is very visible on a black background at the bottom of the screen, also the top of the screen has little white leak too.
should i replace this one to the store?

I can find the light leak on mine (in the USB port) in the dark if I'm looking at the phone from beneath it. I suppose some people use their phones that way a lot!

That's so the dust can get in. I think its normal. I have light leak as well in the same spots.

Faulty pixel on brand new HOX - but what's wrong with it?

Hi,
I unpacked my new HTC One X grey yesterday and quickly noticed a little dodgy pixel down at the bottom left corner. It isn't a dead pixel, but it doesn't seem to be a stuck pixel either.
What I noticed was that when using an app which has the little black menu bar down the bottom one pixel was always shining white.
But when I used the 'Colours Dead Pixel Detect and Fix It' app I discovered that this little pixel can be any colour, including black -- but that it just doesn't take the colour its supposed to - the detect and fix app has a black menu bar down the bottom so the pixel should always be black, but the pixel takes on the colour which is flashing on the rest of the screen. When the screen is blue the pixel is blue, when the screen is white the pixel is white, when the screen is black the pixel is black. But it should be black all the time with that app.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Is it a software problem? I tried restarting the phone with no luck.
Thanks!

get a replacement, it's a hardware problem properly.

I also have one pixel like this.. thought about replacing the phone but my unit doesn't have other problems so i decided to live with it for now.. gonna send it to repair some day.

if its only a pixel i wouldnt worry about it, your eyes and brain will get used to it, however if you can return it still then go return it otherwise if you are out of return period then just keep it if everything else ok

thanks
What do you think it is though? So I can tell them when I call to have it replaced. It's not a dead pixel as they're just dark, and stuck pixels are just a single colour... ?
Thanks!

white pixel? visible at bright area and angles?
probably hot pixel

It's not just white though - it seems to take on the colour of whatever is brightest near it - so if the bulk of the screen is red then it's red, if the bulk of the screen is green then it's green. But if the rest of the screen is black then it's black. If it were a hot pixel wouldn't it always be white even if the bulk of the screen were black?
Thanks!

yup this is what im talking about, i returned my second HOX for this reason
its either a hot pixel or spec of dust under the glass

I've left it flashing with that stuck pixel fixing app in the probably vain hope that it will work - really don't want to have to wait for a replacement!

sorry bro don't bother pixel fixer wont help with it
its not a dead pixel

had the same and returned phone. for me, the pixel was always black.
where exactly was it located at yours? mine was in the left corner as well. more exactly: when you are in the homescreen and have the google play icon in the down left corner, the pixel was in the word "play" under the icon.

Mine's in the black menu bar at the bottom - on the home screen just to the right of the green mouthpiece on the telephone icon.

It doesn't sound like a faulty pixel in the typical sense, more the pixel connection has become coupled to another one, sort of a short circuit somewhere. This could be a fault in the LCD screen, the ribbon connection, or the LSI driving the display.
Either way just call it a dead pixel, as long as you describe how they will see it so they confirm it isn't right it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. They're sending a replacement on Tuesday. let's hope this one is flawless!

Which colour do u prefere black(titan) or white?

Which colour device do you prefere?
My first lg g3 was black(titan) and i did want white but they didnt have any then i had to get a replacment and even tho at that time they had white they would not let me have 1 so had to have black (titan). Well that phone was faulty it had bad pixels so today i took it back and they offered me a white 1. Now im not sure if i prefere the black as i think the black looks more premuim. Maybe this white 1 will grow on me. What colour have you got or prefere?

Obviously, it's a personal preference, but I've heard the backplate of the white doesn't look as good as the Titan coloured one. I'm not a fan of gold so "black" was the easy choice, though it's not really black, which is kind of nice as it provides a bit of a change from my black G2.
