Light leak? A little.. - EVO 4G General

Hi everyone so I've had my evo for about 2 weeks now I slightly see some light were some people have had real big issues should I be worried...i mean you really have to be looking for it..i didn't even know wheee thee light was coming through.also at the bottom of the screen if you tilt the phone I can see the light from the menu buttons is this normal?

I think its normal, mine does it. I watched unboxing and reviews of EVOs on YouTube and it was pointed on on them too. I have a rubber around mine so the light leak is covered. I can also see the light leds if I turn the phone and look down from the screen. Its an obvious design flaw, im surprised they let it go like that.

Normal.
I was about to go to sprint store for a exchange and also saw YouTube ones shown had same problems. I guess It's normal for HTC products...
Just hope dust going into it end up inside the lcd.

Doesn't bother me...

Yep I have some light leakage too on the bottom. It's normal...

Line on display

I noticed today that on the display there's a really really thin green line on the left side of the screen, its hardly noticeable but on white it more noticeable. Is this how the AMOLED displays are or is there something wrong with my Vibrant? I think I had noticed this on a N1 before when I had that. Is anyone else seeing this as well? Thanks in advance.
mine has that too. didn't notice it til you pointed it out. Very, very thin line on the edge of the screen. probably normal.

i see it too. it's SUPER fine ALL the way to the left. so yea i would assume it's what throws the pixels across the display. i'm sure if we wikipedia AMOLED we'll get answers for the green..

I see it too. It looks like the left edge of the screen isn't as cleanly truncated as the rest of the edges and we're seeing green spectrum pixels shining against the dark interior of the phone.
I seen No Green Line ,,, sorry kats ,,
I can really only see it when the screen is a light neutral color, other than that I never really noticed it.

Red laser bad for our Epic screens?

Since our Epics have Super AMOLED screen being organic in nature I know certian lasers will mess up the screen. The blue one being the worst but what about the red ones like a store's scanner?
Here is a news article about Starbuck's idea of paying coffee with your phone:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/26/BU9J1K0BND.DTL
Will it mess up our phone's screen?
Darkk
No it will not. you'd need like a week of nonstop laser being directed at the screen. Besides, the Sun is far more powerful.
If they are going to have a barcode reader it will most likely be a camera and not a lazer...I dont think lazers can even read off a screen...your screen emits light...you cant pick that up with a red lazer...

Actually, you kinda are being a ****, and saying that you aren't doesn't magically negate that fact. Also, the black on our screens is NOT a complete absence of light - turn your phone off (shut down, not screen lock) in a completely dark room to see just how much light comes from the screen (you can try loading an all-black image file as well). And I don't want to get all physics on you, but the screen would refract the laser, which may or may not cause problems. But any scratch on the screen would interfere, and Starbucks can't predict where or how people will scratch their phones, or what type of screen protector they might use, so that method would be too unreliable to work with the general public

Just for the point of clarity, an AMOLED screen does indeed use NO light to represent black. AMOLED displays do not use a backlight so black is "rendered" by simply not turning on any color for the pixel.

Wow. Way to troll my post. I'm sorry but that was completely unnecessary.
Indeed the glass and scratches can present refraction problems, but that is why it must be done nearly face on, and why barcodes are so tall, because physical scratches on a barcode can have the same consequence of a failure to read.
Also...I never argued it was perfect. In fact, I agree that the glass alone presents an issue in reliability.
But I never mentioned the glass, because that was not the point I was making. If you read my post, and use some basic intuition, you'll see that I was merely pointing out that it is incorrect to think that light emitting from my screen is different than light reflecting off your bar code. He had, in effect, argued the opposite previously.
And you really mistook the voice of my post. My preamble was cautionary because I didn't want to sound like a, well, ****. And my conclusion was simply reaffirming that. If you reread my post with a more hesitant voice you'll understand how I wanted it to sound.
Then again, it's not like we're talking face-to-face. I can't really blame you for misinterpreting like that, because automatically placing an insulting voice in there would be your problem, not mine.

LOL.... Plus one for that joke!
Reading through the posts some interesting points. However, this isn't about scanner NOT being able to read the bar codes on our Epic screens. It's about the possible damage caused by a narrow beam of light enegry for any length of time.
I know regular LCD screens aren't affected by this but AMOLED is sensitive to UV light such as the sun.
Here is something I saw on Wiki:
"UV sensitivity: OLED displays can be damaged by prolonged exposure to UV light. The most pronounced example of this can be seen with a near UV laser (such as a Bluray pointer) and can damage the display almost instantly with more than 20 mW leading to dim or dead spots where the beam is focused. This is usually avoided by installing a UV blocking filter over the panel and this can easily be seen as a clear plastic layer on the glass. Removal of this filter can lead to severe damage and an unusable display after only a few months of room light exposure."
I have to wonder just how strong can the UV fliter on our phones protect the display? So far my normal usage on the phone the display looks fine. Then again I made sure it wasn't left in the sun too long, maybe like a few seconds.

Then how do you explain the noticable glow to the screen for about 30 seconds while the phone is shutting down? Seems like it would be completely dark if there was an absence of light, but there is clearly SOME light

Bonus Look or Design Flaw with WHITE GS3:-)

Hi guys, when my notification light blinks blue at night, if I am in a dark room the whole entire face lights up. It has a skeletal look to it. I like it though
Too bad I can't capture this feature/flaw using my wife's phone camera.
Does anyone else with the white .GS3 have the same thing happening to theirs?
Press thanks if I helped you!!!!

I haven't heard of this, but if you can graphically document this, then by all means! That sounds really cool, blue-skeletal look!
Yeah, it's called light spreading
tapatalked from galaxy s3
It does the same thing with the menu/back lights as well, personally I think its awesome
Also noticed how the LED light never flashes while the display is on, Samsung discovered that having both on at once will mean the LED washing over the display?
yup does it with my white S3 , and yeah i actually like it too

Pink tint area in the display

I love everything about this phone except...pinky tint at the bottom 1/5 of the screen!
It's especially visible with white background. It seems that the bottom 1/5 part gets very warm when the phone is doing lots of stuff or charging battery and I think that's when the pink tint is really gettung, well pink.
I will probably exchange it once the supply gets better and my local att store gets stocks. Hopefully you guys are not experiencing this.

Thanks guys for the reply. I've got blue one. It's barely visible as my friends couldn't see it at all lol. I have really good eyes, or I have to say "trained eyes " that I do graphic arts stuff everyday. Color accuracy is critical for my job.
My S2 had blueish tint but it was uniform color temperature for the entire screen. I'm currently using app called Screen Adjuster to mitigate the issue but it doesn't solve the problem because of the uneven color temperature. I really think that the heat at the bottom part really changed the tint permanently.
I'm happy that you guys don't have such problem!

I must say it'll be really hard to find the AMOLED screen with no ink bolbs unfortunately.. I went through 3 S2 Syrockets and 1 Playstation Vita.

If you want to see if your phone has these blobs, do the following
Go into a pitch black room
Set your phone brightness to auto
Open camera app
Turn off flash
take a picture of pure darkness
View the picture in the gallery, and tap it once open so all the bars and menus go away showing nothing but the image
Inspect the screen up close, you may have to wait 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust
If you don't see those blotches, your eyes suck, didn't let them adjust enough to the dark, or you just wasted your luck on a nice phone rather than a lottery ticket!

How do you know that the blotches you see after this test are not just a camera flaw? Did you send the picture you took on the sg3 to another phone and view it again? If the bloches are there, its a camera flaw. If not, its a screen flaw.
Everysingle amoled screen that I have owned had purple tint. It is more or less common on samoled. Especially noticeable when the brightness turned to low.

Because, i used pinch and zoom while the picture was open and pretty much saw nothing happen on the screen. I could tell from some slight changes in some lighter spots, but the blotches did not move. You can do the same.

Black ink marks

Hey guys I'm sue most if not all our you know about the black ink marks with the SGS III. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take the phone back and get a new one but now I'm not sure because I hear that almost all the SGS III handsets have them. How many of you have taken yours back and was it worth it?

I noticed a couple on mine, but they really are only noticeable in total darkness on a black background. If they get worse I'll consider getting it replaced, but its such a minor issue, it doesn't seem worth the hassle of a replacement.
The screen is amazing compared to my OG Epic.
They are "normal" for amoled screens. Ive had about 12 razr/razr maxx and everyone had it to a certain extent. They never got worse. As long as you dont have the black line running top to bottom you should be fine.

Try using this background turn off the lights and see if you can spot the splotches.

Here's how to test:
1) Download Display Tester, Go to Colors, then Dead Pixel.
2) Swipe the screen to the black color Page.
3) Go into a dark closet and look for anything weird on the screen.
I'm pretty sure that everyone who posted here will not have a perfect screen.
I have a couple but never notice them unless the screen is super dark...not too worried unless I notice them under normal conditions.
Here's an idea; if you have to test for something under extremely particular circumstances and don't notice it otherwise maybe you shouldn't go looking for a reason to make yourself unhappy.
Just a thought.
If you stand on a chair holding the phone at 37 degree angle while watching a specific Nickelback video and get a weird tint...don't do it?

1) Download Display Tester, Go to Colors, then Dead Pixel.
2) Swipe the screen to the black color Page.
3) Go into a dark closet and look for anything weird on the screen.
I'm pretty sure that everyone who posted here will not have a perfect screen.

I downloaded display tester and didn't see anything weird at all on my phone's screen. All the colors were smooth and even with no spotting.

Just Flash It !!!
I noticed a few splotches on day one, but just now after looking at the almost black test image I couldn't see anything at any angle or lighting conditions. Is it possible that this goes away over some time?

Here's an idea; if you have to test for something under extremely particular circumstances and don't notice it otherwise maybe you shouldn't go looking for a reason to make yourself unhappy.
Just a thought.
If you stand on a chair holding the phone at 37 degree angle while watching a specific Nickelback video and get a weird tint...don't do it?

If you ever watch a dark movie, you will notice it. It can be irritating to say the least.

I wasn't looking for them. I didn't even know they existed. I actually noticed them one night when I was texting. It sucks that some have them and some don't... I would like to be one of the few that doesn't if you know what I mean

Yeah, I can definitely understand being irritated if you see it during normal use, it just seems like some people (big thread on this in the international section too) go looking for it. Personally unless if actually seen it during my normal usage I'd never go looking for some flaw that I'd then always know was there.
That was what I was getting at, just to clarify.
