Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?

Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?

Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?

My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off

send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Hi Ministig
I've got the white spot/pixel issue,only noticed it when I was looking at another site which had a very dark blue background

Anybody feel their amaze getting really really warm, almost hot? Kinda makes me not wanna use my phone a lot just because the heat might mess it up.
This happens around 15 mins of usage.
I haven't had that issue even under heavy use like games, videos, and web.
It may be an app or apps constantly running. Do you check your task manager often? U may have to kill some apps. Also is it charging when you use the phone? I know it gets hot quickly that way.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Really depends on what's running. When you first initialize the phone it's going to get hot as it syncs and updates everything but that should pass. If you have location enabled and use the gps, it will get hot, if you use maps and the screen is on, it will get hot...just check it for whats running and delete whats unnecessary. Of course I'm waiting for the root to really delete the crapware.
My amaze has been overheating it feel's like it's on fire randomly sometimes , even when im not on apps .
Mine gets really hot too.. not quite but almost too hot to touch. It's not even plugged in when it happens and its just from playing music it charging.. no heavy usage. Hopefully it'll disappear once we get some roms with no bloatware!
Yeah I experience overheating last night. This is by far the worst ive come accross on any phone. I may go to t mobile and look at the galaxy s2. I love this phone but too many problems for me

I can honestly say that there is no overheating issue with the GS2. I even have this phone plugged into the charger while browsing the internet and the phone is not overheating.

Thats exactly what i experienced using my amaze. Charging and using it i have no overheating issues. I guess its just the luck of the draw with these two phones. No phone is perfect though and i think both these devices have great features and potential.

Yeah, both phones are great. Its just with finding the right fit for you. I chose GS2 because I figured we would have a larger dev community, its lighter because of its plastic design and Super Amoled+. The downside of this phone is its resolution, but I don't notice it that much for it to be a big con. I heard some people actually rather the hefty-ness of the Amaze. I'm not gonna lie I love the design quality of it. HTC is always known for gorgeous designs.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Exactly. Finding the right fit for "you" is correct. I came from a vibrant and didnt wanna deal with twiz anymore. I had my ups and down with that phone and i figured i'd give htc a try since i had samsung already. Tbh im happy with the amaze and i know u happy with your sgs2

Definitely happy with my purchase. This phone fits my exact needs. I'm surprised that your not getting overheating issues though. Most of my HTC phones with metal built in or around them had overheating issues after a few minutes of operating them.

Im actually suprised also. Smart phones do get warm when using alot but i might have got lucky because im constantly plugged in and doing something on this phone. My phone hasnt been above 98 degrees f yet. And thats while cruising the net or playing eternity warriors. I dont have any hd games yet so i'll test again when they become available to see if the phone gets real hot.

I guess you definitely one of the lucky few cause my myTouch 4g, G2, Nexus One, HD2 and Sensation all heated up. I know all phones heat up when in use, but the GS2 won't even get hot on the charger while in use and to me that's amazing. I'm glad you enjoy your phone and your not experiencing such issues.

you also have to remember 2 things though.... 1) the unibody designs always conduct the heat to the outside of the phone, although its operating at the same temp of most phones, the reason you notice it with the newer htc models is cause you can actually feel the heat cause of the unibody... 2) the sammys are all plastic, which doesnt conduct heat too well, so although its getting hot inside, you dont feel it. they both prob run at close if not the same temps, but you can just notice it more on the htc... thats all.

That is definitely understandable. If I have to sacrifice design just so I can be able to hold/use my phone comfortably then you know exactly where I'm headed.

mine doesnt get that hot at all. my sensation did, i would go as far as to maybe say its gets warm... definitely not hot... whoever says its almost too hot to touch is either exaggerating or has no skin on their damn hands. lol.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here could confirm a small, miniscule, almost-non-existent issue I found with this beautiful device. The left (Menu) touch button seems to be every-so-slightly faded compared to the right (Back) touch button. I haven't been able to find any pictures, or take a picture of mine (no camera around at the moment) to show what I mean. It's almost ridiculous that I am spending my time and energy in typing about this, but I would just like to know if this is normal and not something that is unique to mine. Besides, I think it gives it a bit of a personality (like Nemo and his fin).
Unique to yours.

Not even sure what you mean to be honest.
Do you mean the light is dimmer?
I haven't noticed any issues in any case. I don't think I'd really care. I'm more inclined to worry about signs I've used it! (microscopic scratches that you can't see from anything but the most obscure of angles etc.)

And using the front camera to take a picture in a mirror won't work because....? Use your imagination.
I'm not actually endorsing that (though the front camera is actually not bad, so it could work with enough light), and I'm sure that's not what was meant by that post, but if you're gonna be a **** about it...

Well considering the problem is one button is slightly faded compared to the other and the lackluster FFC, I wouldn't assume that would produce anything useful. I said a picture with clarity.
It was an honest question. Obviously he can use the FFC but he is talking about something so slight it likely won't be captured with the FFC.

I know I know. I was replying solely to the quoted comment.
About that post anyway, I'm just hoping whoever (s)he is, is trying to make some sort of sarcastic statement about semantics, since the original post said "no camera around" as opposed to "no other camera around". I'm hoping that's what the post's intention was.
Oh how I hope...

yes this is an issue and it also exists in my phone. i got my first S3 and it had lots of glue marks on the screen and the menu led was placed a bit above where it should be causing its light to come on the screen from inside of the scree. i got that set changed with a new one and now rest of the issues are gone but yes the menu led is a bit faded.

Thank you for keeping this thread on-topic. Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all. Just thought I'd inquire.
Anyone notice a significant slowdown when touching or holding the phone?
I go from 65Mb to 5mb. With 2Mb of actual speed.
Very annoying.

now i am not bothered by this but will it leak water in when submerged? or am i been paranoid
also noticed the flash is off center a bit apart from that everything seems ok
thanks:laugh:
I think gaps do compromise waterproof, and the off set camera or flash led is a early batch fault
Take note that i recomend you getting a replacement

In my question thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793532) I got the answer that it doesn't really affect waterproofing because the seal is made over a larger area than the gaps.
The gaps I have are at the top right, bottom left, and the middle of the entire left side (very minimal but noticeable to my very focusing eyes - I regret looking that close to my device)
Thanks for the replys the gap doesn't bother me just worried water would get in and the slight misalignmen of the camera flash doesn't seem to affect anything so I should be good shouldt I?
Thanks

well it was annoying me so i thought what the hell i filled a bowl up and put the phone in the bowl (which even a waterproof phone i dont understand the point in doing lol) anyway after a minuet or so the phone seems all ok there was no bubbles coming from the phone to show water getting in and all seems ok so the gaps in my phone at least seems water tight (hopefully):victory:
