hey guys i was very upset that i had to turn my Wifi calling in order to check my email, call or even text someone at home. i was looking on what could be blocking the antenna so i decided to take of my body glove, then i removed the back cover, then on the bottom by the speakers i noticed a piece of "tape". (mine was blue and my co workers was black) i removed it and turn my phone off and guess what, im writting this without using my wifi and my text messages are going through fine since i texted my co worker to remove his "tape/sticker"......can anyone else try this....ill try to post some pic tomorrow of what "tape/sticker" im reffering to even tho it should not be too hard.
I noticed that too, already partially damaged from the cover being removed before I even got the phone. It is indeed safe to remove?
i just send a lg rep what i noticed, so far i have had no issues, my co worker keeps texting to test and so far we have noticed a improvement.
Huh, interesting just removed mine as well. It is the really thin plastic that is used to protect something before it is sent to consumer, like what you would find on a tv or kitchen appliance. Guess they forgot to take it off or expected us to do it. I get signal at home so I am gonna report back once I go too school bc reception is there is awful and I am finally getting a bar when I normally didn't.
Nice post!!!!
Ok mine was black tape... i just popped the cover off pealed it off and laying in the exact same spot it was when i read this post i went from 2bars to 3bars.
Coincidence? Hmmmmmm
Thanks though, never noticed the damn tape....thinking maybe it did help... normally where i sit and lay my phone on my desk here at home i float between 1-2 bars, same place it has 3 now...
Wow thanks for the info! I too was curious as to the purpose of it, but feared if I removed it there would be consequences lol
i see it but im not touching it. just gives tmobile another reason to screw you over.
no, you still have a 14 day trial. is like taking of the screen protector that comes with the phone and have tmobile not taking it back because of it. besides a close source says it should be okay.
Really? TMo will voide warranty for a piece of plastic tape that doesn't say "void warranty if removed" just peel it off.... lol

General consensus was any benefit was "placebo effect." I left it on my phone for a day and then took it off and didn't notice any difference.

Some damn good placebo then cuz i can assure you around all these servers etc here i've never gotten better than 2 bars... hmmmmm
thats it, i'm putting it back on and off and on and off and on and off and... ok i'm confused now...
idk, i have never seen another "plastic/sticker/tape" on another tmobile phone (i have 25). i mean i really relied on wi fi calling to do anything on my phone at home on my g2x. is been two hours now. if this has nothing to do then im wrong but in the meantime my text are not delayed.

Just noticed yer in houston... i'm in mcallen area... so guess this tape thing working for us must be a Texas thing lol
lol hahaha, i guess we will find out once everyone wakes up and try this......i have another friend that we will try to test again ill try to update with pics before and after
It seems odd that a thin plastic tape would affect signal, but I saw a solid 1 bar increase as well. It appears the tape is directly over the antenna.

Yep as did I! Phone seems better now signal wise, and true, data / sms / mms is behaving now? I dunno... maybe it's us wishing for better signal by removing tape so hard that it actually affected the earths EM field allowing for one more bar of signal.
and people with iphone thought the death grip wasnt real until they got a free case from AtTT.
While making/receiving/in call....there is a flashing red light. Did anyone else notice this besides me? It's towards the bottom left of the FC.
Is there a purpose for this?
Haha yeah dude that's the proximity sensor that cuts the screen off when you put it to your face. I noticed that last night. Pretty funny that you can actually see it.

Take any camera and film your different remotes while you press their buttons and the camera will upconvert the infrared spectrum into the visible spectrum.
But I have never heard of any human able to actually see the infrared spectrum although there exists animals that can detect it.

Indeed. My first thought when I saw it was "why am I seeing infrared light....what the hell?????". But anyways, no biggie. Can't really see it unless you're looking for it in the dark or something. Certainly isn't an issue or problem.
i too can see it
does that mean we are superhuman ?
Im off to try and blow stuff up with my mind. Ill report back later

OK I thought REALLY hard and was able to levitate the One S. I'll see what else we can do with it. I think the next step is using it as a heat ray weapon.
Lol, pmsl!

Yeah, make a call in a dark room, you'll see it. But its def. the prox. sensor.
smart butts!!!
Lol, sorry I didn't mean to put inferred, I put inferred because it was red. But you guys knew what was getting at.
Thanks for the answer nickmv.
I just tested it myself and what do you know... the LED has a dim glowing red... very faint but it's there... so no... it's not really in the infrared spectrum but quite close to it nonetheless... but then again it could be a dual colored LED; one with the infrared light and one with the visible light... I don't know...
It is so freaky! But true. Only visible in a dark environment for me.
I was killing time with my one s camera and my remote control, never know u can see the inferred light from a camera, Feels like science class
It's the proximity sensor...you know, the thing that turns your screen on and off when you put the phone to your face during a phone call then move it away from your face...

Well I'm stock T-Mobile us and the light is on when I am using Bluetooth is that suppose to happen?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
darn this thread got me excited, thought maybe the One s had another notification light that we could use for stuff! I really hate the placement of the LED on this phone, but I guess its good enough that it even has one. I wish it would glow at least, not just flash. would be a lot more noticable
I noticed it today in bright sunlight. And there is another thingy next to it. Nevertheless I find that red flickering light pretty annoying. It makes me nervous, it flickers like a ethernet status LED. Hope theres a way to turn it off...

Did anyone solve this?
I have a problem with the sensor; If i use my headset, it won't stop blinking after I make a call. If I make a new call and immediately end the call, the sensor stops blinking.
I contacted HTC and they told me that I should send it for repairs...

I remember this red glow of the LED from the good old IRDA transmitters that we had in phones and laptops years ago.
If you look at the light spectrum you'll notice that Infrared is very close to red

+1... I noticed the same "effect" on my phone last night - H/W malfunction? Does it drain a little bit a battery by "sensing" continuously? Or just a "cosmetic" matter?...
Any feedback from HTC or another source? Any way to disable it?
EDIT : "I contacted HTC and they told me that I should send it for repairs..." <- I hope it could be solved without that option ...
Just spent the whole night setting up my AT&T HOX, got into bed and turned off the lights and noticed there is a noticeable light leak on the bottom of the display (by the capacitive buttons)! 1. Does anyone know if at&t will replace it on the spot and 2. If they do, is there any way for me to NOT have to setup the new device from scratch!? I know my google account will add my apps but I'm talking about settings, content, etc. Thanks for the help.

1.) I would guess so, but I really think its going to be somewhat of a common problem since it is an LCD (and needs a backlight).
2.) I know a few third party places have a computer that transfers all the data over, but I don't know if ATT does.

AT&T can transfer contacts and photos.
And your contacts are probably synced with google.
So you'll have to set it up again.
most of my calendar and contacts was saved on google servers on my iphone, so i just synced it to the one x! boom i was set, Just gotta get my apps set up etc like i had it on my gs2
I started a similar thread a few days ago. Doesnt bother me that much, still a great phone.
Mine has the light leak on the right bottom edge... the glass also seems to be sticking up about 0.5mm higher as well. :/
is it a gap between the white housing and the digitizer glass?

Light leak for me between digitizer and the outside edge. Less then a millimeter though, and can only be seen at an angle, and I just got a case and now you can't see it.
Hmmm, I have this almost along the entire left side of the phone, it looks to be a bit higher than the right side, I wonder should I return it or not

Hey Guys I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 Orchid Grey.
It has only been a day and I love the phone but I was so disappointed to see that the phone suffers from light leak.
There is light bleeding from the bezel between the front camera as shown in this picture.
Is this normal and accepted? I saw some phones at a demo shop and the black ones didnt have this while the others did.
Do you guys have the same and if so does it affect water resistance?
Shall I keep it or exchange it and get a new one I got to pay 200$ for it.
Have attached pictures of my phone along with a reference picture of better quality.
please do let me know what you think
i had ordered my phone off amazon and noticed the light bleed. searched around and it didn't really find a clear answer to say if its a defect or just something that the phone has. i sent it back to amazon, thinking it was bad, and picked one up from best buy, they were the same price, so no big deal. opened up the new one and was met with disappointment, it looks like its a typical thing for the phones. guess its up to you if you want to just go with it or try again with another one. i did take the one from amazon to a shop to see whats up, they suggested to just return it. if they were to try and fix the gap, the water proofing would have failed. best of luck with it, seems like a good phone so far

Hey thanks for the reply.
So the one you got from best buy does it have the same problem?
Does light reflect and if so where?
This is what samsung chat told me
yes, the best buy model has the same problem in the same area. the light shows at the front facing camera and the iris scanner. i talked to a rep myself and he had suggested that i take it to a repair center.
*the person you talked to could be right, maybe it is just the lens or something.
Go for replacement. Practice the warranty thingy.

I dont have warranty since I purchased it out of the country. The only option i have is that i spoke to a shop seller who is ready to exchanged it for a new phone with warranty and i have to pay 200$. So i am wondering if the new phone i get also has the same issue.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it is normal or not. I'm hoping it is normal, I'm keeping the one I bought from Best buy. I guess in your case it may be worth it to get the exchange, since you'll get a warranty with it. Best of luck with everything!

Do you know anyone else who has a S8 or Note 8 and suffers from the same?
Also where does the light bleed occur on your phone exactly?

No, I don't know anyone with the same phone. The light comes directly above the front facing camera and the Iris scanner.
I do not have this issue here, so I would say its a manufacturing defect, and they are aware about it, and they actually try to make it look like its normal.

You must having it increase your brightness to max and keep a white background/wallpaper and then check.
I just went to a Samsung Service Center and first he told me that it was normal and not an issue then i insisted on showing me another phone so he showed me a device whose repairs he had just concluded with a brand new screen and that phone had the same issue! not an issue its just reflection apparently.

Just noticed that my camera lens glass has fallen off, check the picture, looks like the glue has just given up!
This together with my other issue of a wonky gyroscope calibration (separate post on this!) gives me real doubts about build quality and QA.
Otherwise i love the handset, really disappointed, anyone else had this ?
What case do you have? MNML frost white?

That device is not a Pixel 3. Do you really think Google will replace whatever device this is with that damage on the corner? You're trying to get something else because of the gyroscope issue but it seems obvious that you messed up the device by bouncing it off the floor. The glue just doesn't "give up". You basically broke the phone and if you don't have insurance then you are probably out a bunch of money.
Which device is that anyway?

It's a pixel 3. You need to look again. I thought the same as you when I first saw it. The picture is deceiving. That damaged corner is the upper left corner of the back of the phone. Look at it that way and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Lol. You're still going to have a hard time getting a replacement with that ding i believe. But good luck. You think you could have thrown the gyroscope off kilter along with the camera lens? You'll know soon enough if they replace it for free.

The Gyroscope issue was reported the day after i got the phone (30 days ago) when i noticed the pictures looked wonky. The Lens issue i noticed when resetting the phone to send back for the RMA google agreed for the Gyroscope issue.
I updated the original ticket to say that the lens was now missing and it happened way after the initial issue and they now won't RMA until they've investigated the lens issue....
Fortunately when i logged the Gyroscope issue i sent across a video and pictures of the phone to demonstrate that it was in pristine condition.
You are right though they are now going to link the two in there own heads even though they had agreed to an RMA !
I've got insurance but i'm loathed to use it when the phone has the underlying gyroscope issue straight out of the box.

The insurance is the $200 deductible one? I have that too and it seems like a lot to pay for a refurb. At this point it might be your best option, unfortunately. I don't think I'd use it unless the phone got destroyed, lost or unusable but it's still a lot of money to shell out. You could tell them that the gyroscope issue caused you dizziness and then you banged the phone trying to get oriented. haha j/k naturally but good luck nonetheless. Update when this is resolved. I still have that cool program you used. Just checked and I'm at 0.1 pitch and roll average.
