I think I saw last time I saw this come up the general consensus was that this is just ordinary lens flare. Its a reflection of the light on the lens. Its annoying but completely normal.

Probably yeah, the sun was really bright but i never thought this would happen..
It's plausible that it could be the situation here lol
I'm not used to have such a good phone and think everything it's a problem [emoji23]
I wanted know if other people experienced the same and it was not a camera problem for the good of my heart lool

I understand. The phone is a huge investment for a lot of people so they tend panic at anything that they perceive to be "not quite right".
I wouldn't worry to much about it though mate. These phones are made to ridiculously stringent standards so the likelihood of there being something legitimately wrong with your phone is slim unless you're insanely unlucky.
You'll see a few complaints here and there about any phone online but you have to remember that for every person who writes about a complaint or issue, there are tens of thousands of others out there with a fully functioning device who are never going to post about their positive experience.

Can you replace the screen and front plate?
Ouch
Had this once with my universal, had to pay 170 ,- € to fix that.
My wife could´nt understand why i had to repair it instead of buying a new phone.
They will never understand our addicting hobby! Hobby? Passion! Destiny!
Dang that hurts me looking at it. Is there a writeup on screen replacement on this yet?
here is the service manual:
http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-raphaeltouch-pro-service-manual.html
whoa! thats bad ...
its touch pro breaking season or something, how did this happen?
My condolences.
I have a busted Touch Pro that with a good screen...the phone was run over by a car. Kind of mangled but powers on, cant make calls, everything else works but stuck in landscape. Funny thing is that the screen is flawless while everything else is about shot
same here man, got ran over by a car, everything worked except the lcd panel, i swear those Digitizers are strong or something cause they dont seem to crack or stop functioning easily
damn!! feel sorry for you man. claim your insurance... if you had any that is in the 1st place!
Yep, it's gone for insurance-repair.
How this happend? Just took it out of my pocket when I was in a bar and noticed the screen was cracked. It still could be an assasination

Unexplainable things happen to me when I'm in a pub too!
How is that funny? Unless it's not yours?
I'm a bit surprised some TP's survived car run-overs. I think it's worth the fix if it costs $150+ to fix when a new one is over twice as much.
oh jeez, do you keep the screen facing towards your leg when it's in your pocket? i usually keep it faced towards my leg now because my old phone cracked after hitting the edge of a table.
I don't really pay attention to which way it is facing, specially when i'm in a bar, being a bit intoxicated
I had the same porblem except my screen was not cracked. I had the same lines even though they were not so bright. So i sent my phone intor HTC for warranty repair and suprisingly they fixed it for free and sent it back to me just 3 days ago.

Moto Droid 2 Explodes in user ear. Is this really possible?

I'm not sure how many of you have heard it but a user was on a call and his droid 2 exploded and some of the glass cut his ear causing a hospital visit and 4 stitches. As a Electronics Engineer I doubt anything except the battery could cause such a explosion. But I'm not very knowledgeable on the LCD etc and to what the potential danger is for explosion.
I'm sure this will hit main stream media by tomorrow and if it is proven to be accurate and true, this is going to be a big hit for Moto and maybe cause for concern of others using the same possibly defective hardware.
Here is a video of a news clip. http://www.the33tv.com/videobeta/919e261e-2d3d-422a-bc61-f3c62612039c/News/12-02-10-Cell-Phone-Explodes

After some more investigating on Google I think this will turn out to be a fraud or scam. I can't see how the explosion could have came from the inside of the phone with enough force to crack the screen and the phone is still working. Most of these rare instances are related to the battery exploding. If this was the case the device would not function at all.
I suspect this guy damaged the device put it up to his ear and made it cut himself and try to make people believe it exploded.
We will see???
...I dont know what to make of that story. It seems to me that the screen is intact making and "explosion" kinda not possible. It sucks that this day and age we cant just take someones word on what happened but face it, the worlds full of people trying to get rich quick. Cant say that this is what this couple is doing...but looking at the phone, seems more like he dropped it and now wants a new phone for free.
I dont know..I suppose Verizon can release to Motorola his call records under a courts order and that would be the first step..see if he actually placed a call at around that time.
The other thing, If I was in my driveway and my phone explodes on the side of my head I am not going to leave my house and travel to my wife for her to tell me what happened lol, I am going to go inside my house and look in the mirror to see what the hell just happened to my head..thats just me though I guess?
He had to have smashed it in his pocket and answered a call thereby cutting himself on the glass.
considering that the Moto Droid line uses Gorilla Glass it really makes me wonder how the hell that happened without destroying the phone. one of my buddies who drives for another company accidentally ran his D2 over and the only thing that was still good was the screen. my guess is this dude is pissed about Verizion dropping the D2 and releasing the D2 Global with better specs and is trying to get out of his 2 year contract and get a payday on top of it.
he must've been overclocking the sh!t out of that droid2 3.0ghz maybe seriously who do you sue verizon or google whoever it is i'll say thanks for the riches ya dig.

Would you replace your phone for this?

Look at the white line infer the 4 right on the edge of the adverscreen.. Would you exchange it?
Definately. It's not a pristine product, right!?
Without
an
ounce
of
hesitation
That's bad, replace it asap.
I don't even own your phone and I want to punch it.
Take it back.
these stories scare me
I keep using the pixel test app to make sure I got a good one lol

This can happen to any phone.
To the OP: YES!
I would definitely exchange it!
Go for it!
Consider this: the fact that you had to ask at all may indicate that the problem is not so severe as to warrant an immediate YES! from yourself. You needed group consensus to push you toward a decision that obviously didn't bother you terribly.
There are two paths, padawan. Accept that nothing is perfect, and that what you have is completely bearable and won't affect the quality of your life one way or the other. Or continue forth and
Keep
Passing
Your
Costs
On To
The Rest
Of Us
At least the YES! men above will bear the costs of your transactions as well.
I believe the fact that T-mo and friends have such a lenient return policy hurts all of us in the long run.

Its a defective product, most likely a crack in the LCD itself. How can you even tell him to keep it, god knows the underlying causes to such an obvious problem.
This is not a dead pixel, its a crack on his LCD.
Why would you tell him to keep a defective product is way beyond me, but I have a solution to your TMO cost problems, how about YOU buy from them the defective crap that is send back to them, its a win/win

Sensation - Back cover poor quality, tarnish

Hi folks,
I've had my Sensation for 3 days tops and something has happened to the back cover. It doesn't wipe off, have absolutely no idea what caused this.
Pretty poor considering it's two days old and treated with kid gloves, couldn't have looked after this phone more if I tried. Crazy.
My GS2 is still prestine, not a mark or scuff anywhere.

ffs... you had to send the entire phone back?
I've changed roms and allsorts already.
Yeah I'd ask HTC to supply you a new one, not acceptable really. Probably only a minor problem on a select new units because the build quality is usually top notch.
I've emailed HTC via the customer service channels on their site and attached a pic. See how it goes. Sending the entire phone back would be ridiculous. Cost them more in shipping, hassle and man hours.
I had a similar issue I think with my original cover. I had it less than 10 days, always on micro cloth etc. and I had a spot in the back cover. Of course everyone here will tell you it is something you are doing wrong but I handle my phones with the greatest care and always get top dollar for resale.
In the End HTC sent me a new cover and I have not had anymore problems so far, knock on wood..
T-Mobile have said I would need to replace the whole handset if I go through them. I hope HTC have a better answer, got it setup how I like, the battery is warmed up and broken in nicely too.

Pixel 3 Fingerprint Scanner misalignment

Hello guys,
I noticed a slight misalignment with my fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 3 White 128 GB. I'm not sure if this is a singular issue or if it affects all other Pixel 3 phones / only this charge. I'm not sure if I should return it / get a new one (bought it today).

Are you sure? I decided to take a magnifying lens. I also heard about this "issue" in a Youtube video about the Pixel 3. It's just a slight line, maybe less than a mm, but it's stil there - on a thousand dollar product.
Or maybe I am wrong. This is something difficult to notice. And only from a certain angle. Maybe you guys can try to reproduce it on your devices?
Maybe only the Clearly White 128 GB charge of the small Pixel 3 is affected. Who knows.
Looks a bit misaligned to me. Mine isn't off center like that, so they're not all that way. Question is if it works ok how OCD are you? Only other thought is if it's not sealed well enough it might allow moisture to get in, but that's the only possible risk I can see if it works well.
I have the same issue on my 128gb white one
same issue on my 64GB not pink @@

Its an optical illusion, as you are looking at shadows through glass. You can see in your second photo, if you remove the "depth" of the shadow layer, the fingerprint sensor sits right in the middle.
Look at the back of your pixel and hold it upside down. Look more normal? Now turn your pixel to the side..any difference?
You can also try looking at it in a semi-dark room. You wont see any shadows, it should look normal.
same issue on my white 64. at first i thought it was just the back glass etching. but it is slightly off center.
Just got my pixel 3 white 64gb and mine is off to the left. Can't un-see now... hopefully the iprating isn't compromised
Just got mine today and same thing, the google expert said nothing wrong. I sent pictures. Same thread on reddit, but i pushed the sensor and it does shift to cover the space, for everyone saying its an optical illusion.
Somewhat related to this, Got a Pixel 3 that had sealing adhesive coming out from top right of the phone. There was not a lot of goo coming out but definitely not acceptable for a $800 phone. It seems the tolerances on Pixel 3 to push them out to market are not great.
