Light leak on new HTC One X

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.

Can you take a picture of it so we know what to look for?

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?

Yup. Well, in my case, it is the black housing. I can see it in a dark room or outside at night, about an inch long.

I have the same problem and I have two specs of dust under my screen. Hopefully I can get it exchanged on Sunday.

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

I would imagine its pretty hard to get a pic of it, but just go into a completely dark room and turn your screen on, you will notice a very thin lit area of light coming from near the screen and case on the side, I don't think its any major concern, it doesn't really bother me at all, but I would like to see these dead pixels that some people find

[Q] Which Camera Sensor Version ISOCELL/SONY?

Which version of the the Camera sensor is used on the VZW S6/S6 Edge?

Use an exif viewer to get the unique id of a photo. You can see in mine where is says LS. That means it's a Sony. If it says LL then it's an isocell.

My Verizon Galaxy S6 32GB Black shows LS with ExifViewer thank goodness, if it was Samsung sensor ISOCELL this phone would be back on Swappa. Clearly Sony IMX 214 sensor is better from all those comparison photos.

Still bummed that mine is isocell.

Verizon Galaxy S6 64 GB Black shows LS.
Thanks for the tip on how to check.

isocell on mine, works fine, really don't see what the big deal is. Not like most users are professional photographers. Many don't even know basic photography framing and shot selection.
The camera is better than any other camera I've had on a smart phone hands down. Refreshing to take a picture and the phone actually takes the picture rather than waiting for a while to make up its mind doing it.

**** mine is ISOCELL. gay! @MKBHD shoulda gave us a heads up what to look for! i got this phone cuz of his review!

Kinda dumb comment. Most likely didn't know at the time of his review that there were different types. Full research of the phone is your responsibility before you buy. Why didn't you know what to look for assuming it really matters.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the isocell. I owned both and they take some of the best photos I have seen from a smartphone. I recently tried multiple DSLR's and could not justify keeping any on them after comparing hundreds of photos. This is just one of many I have. There is no need to get bummed out because you don't have the Sony, it's pretty much a ego thing the way I see it. I am speaking of my former thoughts on the different sensors before the ego thing gets misinterpreted. Take a look and be happy....

Eh looking at the picture comaprisons I can't really see that big of a difference. I guess it's just knowing that Samsung pulled a bait and switch move is what pisses me off.

Keep in mind the photos I linked are the Canon Rebel Sl1 and the S6.

Here is another way to check what sensor you have without installing a EXIF viewer. Upload the pic to your computer, right click it, click on properties and then the detail tab. It will be under image ID.

Ultra bright white clusters on screen while viewing white background

Got my XZP a few days ago. unboxed today and powered on and while booting up with the white screen and logo I found some clusters of ultra white pixels on screen.. I have since returned the phone for replacement, but I do suggest you check yours.. I had a similar issue with my Z3.. Thought Sony overcame these issues of the past.. seems not

Light Bleed on Front Camera on Galaxy S8

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!

well true i will get a warranty with it but i am also paying 200$ bucks for it and if it is the same thing then I would be very very disappointed.
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.
Check yours again in a dark environment and let me know

Blury note 20 ultra photos??

My phone is 3 days old… im noticing blury pictures mostly in backround.* Some with dead on images.* Seems like its not focusing.* Took a picture of my truck amd sent it to my email where i first noticed it on the computer.* Was 108mp picture and the backround looked blury or washed out.* *I also tried my sisters fresh out the box note 20 ultra and same issue.*I was setting her phone up. S10 plus didnt have the issue of same photos.* Used sisterd old phone to compare. 1 picture.

I'm blown away with the camera. I never really care, not really much of a picture taker, but a few I've taken so far are quite impressive.

I am having the same issue as well. I have noticed that the camera blurs the back and even some parts that it is trying to focus on. I might just contact Samsung and see what is up, but you ain't alone here.

I'm on my 6th Note (the 9 & 10+ are with family members for comparison) and I'm having blurry photo issues too, getting worried.
Also the battery life is nothing short of crap... hoping it's still learning.
Not happy so far.
In the last 2 months I've had an Oppo Find X2 Pro and then a Huawei P40 Pro + and the cameras on both were better

I thought it was just me or my phone. You can see the image i took of my sisters s10 plus with her gallery showing with my note 20 ultra. Its very badly blurred or washed out. So i took my sisters fresh out the box note 20 ultra which i was setting up for her and it had the same exact results. I made sure the camera settings was the same on both to compare pictures. Then i pulled up my gallery on my note 20 ultra… and took a picture with the s10 plus. It was a world of difference. There was no blury or washed out colors or words. I asked my girlfriend who also just got the note 20 ultra if she noticed anything blury with her phone and she replied yes and sent me a picyure she took of her daughter eating. The backround was very blury or again washed out with color. I confirmed issues with 3 people that i know personally that have the note 20 ultra.
I cantacted samsung thru Samaung Members chat. I got the typical replies that will all result in a hard reset. Im not trying to do that after i just took an entire day setting up my phone to yield the same results that im getting on 3 different phones. Im afraid unless many more people start seeing this ill have to get another note 20 ultra and fear itll be the same.

Ive been in the note and galaxy family since the s3. I am seeing little hiccuos here and there with the phone. My battety life has been pretty good tho. I see a almost like a glitch every now and then here and there. Cant explain it. Im sure that in time will be fixed with updates. The other thing that is driving me crazy is i use Single tap to swipe feature which allows you to answer the phone by tapping the answer button rather then swiping. But when i activate it… .it brings up a perminant accessories menu on your screen that floats on any screen your seeing. With my old s10 plus it did this to but you can comoletly remove the menu and hid it. On the note 20 ultra you cant. There is an option to hide it on the edge panel but it still gets in the way and i accidentally touch it and i see it on all my screens.

Fix from Samsung
I spoke with Samsung and they said I can file a warranty claim, free of charge, and some expert will take a look at the issue. You can take it locally or have it shipped out.
I will wait and see what fixes arise, if nothing shows up in a month then I will get it sent to Samsung.

Aren't the backgrounds supposed to naturally blur a bit? I remember reviews talking about the "natural bokeh" effect.

Hey I have the same issue. It blurs the surrounding focus. I also checked my s10 and did not have the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? Its weird bc this is supposed to be the best camera out there.

Yeah, I am having the same issue as well. I don't mind it that much right now since I do not take a lot of pictures or videos, but I do want it fixed soon.

The background blur is because of the sensor size.
If the thing you want to be in focus, is in focus, everything should be ok.
