There is a bright light coming from the home button on my Vibrant. Is this an issue? Does anyone else have this?

Don't know how I can be to tell you the truth... Okay example:
Dark screen and the capacitive buttons are lit, above the HOME button you see a little shine of light, it is coming from the capacitive button. This is my second Vibrant phone(last one the 3g radio wasn't working properly) and the last one also had this issue, I checked the one at the store and it also had this, but it could just be that the shipments that the store got were all faulty of sorts, do you have this issue as well?
Is this a serious problem for you?
No but I am rather curious

Picture? Description isn't making a lot of sense.
okay.... I cannot get a picture with a camera at all... but I can try and explain a little more...
You know how the soft keys have lights to light them up in darkness? Well one of the ones from the HOME soft key seems to be showing some sort of light during dark screens outside of the button. Navigate to a black screen, now look above the Home soft key, mines has a little illumination from the soft key itself, I am wondering if it is too bright or something? I only see it during dark black screens but I just want to know if this is an issue.
Oh, I get it .. The screen itself glows, above the Home key? I just tried, max brightness setting and a black screen - no glow on mine. Manufacturing defect of some sort or you have better eyes than me.
Tilt the device so that the head phone jack is facing you, look at the soft keys, if it isn't there I might return mines because it makes things a whole lot different when watching a video

i think he meant theres a backlight leak from the softkey buttons

Angling it like that.. Only a very narrow sliver of light, only visible at a very precise angle. Definitely nothing I would encounter through normal usage, including watching a video.
Just checked the wife's Vibrant, slightly bigger spot of light but still a pretty narrow angle. There's definitely some variation going on here, but neither of ours are visible from normal viewing angles. If yours is interfering with video watching, I'd say that's a defect.
Yeah most likely, I can see mines... I think I just might return it and get a G2 this is my second Vibrant and I really don't want to go through another one, hopefully I can get my money back. Thanks for your help

I have the same thing. It's not that bad, but I know it's there. Doesn't bother me much, but it's there.
I just checked mine as well and there is a very very small spot at a specific angle. It does not cast enough light onto the screen to be noticiable even in the darkest situation.
Curious what symptoms you had on your first Vibrant with 3G. My 3G is horrible. When I had a G1 a few months ago I had much better 3g. Now, even if I get a 3G signal, I either can't surf at all or it is slower than Edge. I have resorted to leaving my phone set to 2G only. I figured it was a problem either in my area or with the Vibrant In general. Your comment makes me wonder if maybe there could be something else at work.
As far as the light on your screen, I can only barely see that when looking from above as described, definitely not any other time. If this is your second phone, it may have been refurbished and not put together exactly correctly.
As far as mine, I think I'm going to go to the tmobile store and compare my 3G to the demo phone they have on display.

I do have huge light leak onto my screen from the buttons. It is most apparent coming from the home button. That one makes a streak straight up when the screen is black. Like a searclight... But, I don't notice it when the screen is drawn. Definitely a manufacturing issue, but not a serious one. I am also considering heading to the G2 when it comes out. Still miss my G1's keyboard even though I give Swype FULL PROPS for a great virtual kb.
The camera on my Streak presents a green screen and takes green pictures. I don't take many pictures with the Streak. It was probably two weeks between the last good picture and now with the green. I use SD 1.9 and just recently updated the baseband from 305 to 351 by flashing a new amss.mbn. The other event of significance between good pictures and green pictures was I lost the Streak on the golf course and it went through a heavy rain overnight before I found it. There was water inside. Have dried it out and everything else is working fine. I've searched lots of forums and most don't apply to the Streak. The most common solution to the green screen problem is to reboot. I've done that and I'm still green. This looks like a white balance problem or something similar, but the WB controls on the camera are much too limited to be any help. I hope this isn't a hardware failure. How can you tell? Anyone have any suggestions?
Nobody has any ideas?! Nobody wants to call me an idiot?
Sounds like maybe you have something on the lens, the grass/water stained the lens.
Thanks for your thoughts. This is a vivid green not a tinting like from a stain, plus it's the same on both the front and back cameras.
hey,
i bought a stylus to take notes on the transformer but it's not working on the hole screen.
i have attached a screenshot for demonstration.
does someone have an explanation for this phenomenon?
EDIT:
i just wanted to prove it works perfectly with fingers, but i found out it doesn'!
see the screenshot draw_thumb.jpg, i actually wanted to draw straight lines and one circle.
btw, his is the same in ubuntu and android!
EDIT2:
updated screenshot
EDIT3:
i restored everything to stock, and like i was afraid the problem persists.
i have to return it.
Looks like some sort of grounding issue. I know the Evo 4G had issues like that on its earlier 2.1 versions. If you hold the tablet in your hands and try to use the stylus on the bottom half of the screen does it still not register?
i retried it, and it really seems to be a dead-part in the touchscreen
is there any chance this is a software issue?
Hey there. After reading a few threads on various sites as well as on XDA-Developers I decided to make this thread. I have recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100P on Orange UK) and I realized that underneath the screen there seem to be small dots. At first I realized this under direct light from a desk lamp, the dot on the top middle of the screen can only be seen under direct light at a certain angle, it looks like there's something on the actual glass because it seems to reflect making two dots in the same area. After doing further research I have found out that other people have been having similar problems, I also realized that under different angles I can actually find more of these dots around the screen when I look very close.
This does not seem to affect the screen at all whether it's on or off, it can only be seen when looking really close, with direct light pointing onto the screen and under certain angles.
Upon further research I ended up testing the screen with a black background in a completely dark room and I saw even more strange things which I'm not exactly sure how to explain, something that looks like lines all over the screen. I then read about people who've been using a sleeping app on which this issue was even more visible. I downloaded such an app and realized that in pure darkness the screen when it dims out with the app on does have weird lines and isn't pure black. The lines are black whereas he background is more of a really dark grey colour that glows. It's hard to explain, especially when your in a rush so I will throw up two images that describe the issue.
Issue 1: Dots

This is an example of the dots which can only be seen in direct light under certain angles.
Issue 2: Lines?
oi44.tinypic.com/2jg2xsi.jpg
This is something along the lines of what I see in a completely dark room on a black background or when the Sleep app is on a dimmed screen. The black lines are black whereas the background, the rest of the area that looks clean, looks sort of greyish and on the sleep app with a dimmed screen it looks like the grey area is glowing like one of them glow sticks.
Any ideas? Is this normal? So far this hasn't affected me in any way apart from the fact that I've noticed it, but then again I notice all sorts of imperfections in everything. Should I be worried? Could this affect the screen in the future? I've heard some people exchanged their SGS2's for new ones and still had the same problem? If this is normal, I guess I can live with it?
Thanks for your time.
Bump. Has anyone got any ideas suggestions?

They're right there, the TinyPic links under Issue 1 and Issue 2. I can't embed them because I've only just registered and need at least 8 posts.

I am not sure why. It works for me, but anyway I have reuploaded them onto another host.
Issue 1: s18.postimage.org/9brkdm7pj/21dk1ft.png
Issue 2: s18.postimage.org/ump4hvptz/2jg2xsi.png
These are drawings that I have made in paint because there is no way to screenshot whats actually happening.
No one knows? :0
I've seen posts similar to this on this forum before...

Sorry mate Ive tried but I still cant open them,and I have been trying
Capture screenshot
Try using Home button + Power it should take a picture then atleast here its working
I have a friend with a droid razr and the screen is cracked. I've checked out the videos on youtube on how to do it, but I'd like to ask people that have done it before, how hard is it? I know "hard" is relative, just curious what people's experiences are with it?
Thanks
Dan
Watch all available videos that you can, have all the tools, have lots and lots of patience, and don't force anything... unless everybody else has to some degree. I personally wouldn't try to unstick laminated parts apart with a hairdryer, I would just replace a whole screen system.
