lost my sensation 8(
Asurion tmobile insurance) sent me a refurb AMAZE even though i was told id get a NEW phone, i specifically asked when buying the insurance.
besides the light bleed the screen is just ****, i can see each pixel and the color shifts when looking at it in the best viewing angles like dead on and very slightly turning it like less that 2degreee turn
are all amaze like this or do i have a cheap chinese replacement screen that flickers when i scroll through the setting menu also.
thanks for any responses you guys are amazing
another note, the 4.3 screen was the perfect size on the sensation but on the amaze is seems too small for the phones size, anyone agree
49 amaze owners looked but didnt comment so far.
starting to think only my phone is like this
I have no complaints about my screen. Color, viewing angles, etc
I can't see how you can possibly see the each pixel, not without a magnify glass.
You have a duff one. I don't think i've seen one single complaint about the amaze screen other than a dead pixel.
All (or at least most of) the Amaze's have some light bleed issues with the buttons. It's annoying, but I don't find it a deal breaker. As for being able to see the pixels, I don't have that problem. You might try playing around with the display settings. You might also call Asurion and complain.

Yes the screen bleed is an issue, an hardware issue but at least you can turn the key LEDs off. Most hardware issues can't be solved.
Personally i wouldn't class it as a screen issue, just bad design for not blocking the key LEDs.
can't really see pixels.
color shift... more like contrast shift? you can say it's like the inferior display that you find in the mytouch 4g or the sensation where they have 2 different displays.
I wonder if they're gonna have another manufacturer in the future where they have a good display *crosses fingers*
the flicker.. not sure about that? like is the display itself flickering or are you noticing the letter's sharpness that doesn't seem to move smoothly because of the high dpi.
Could you guys do a "dmesg" through terminal and search for "panel" and find where it says panel type and tell us if it says AUO or a different name like SHARP or SONY?

Coming from the Sensation, I do notice the pixelation a bit more on the Amaze, as well as the light bleed from the capacitive buttons when I wake the phone, no other times. My screen keeps its colors when I look from the side though.
I think the screen is just fine on the Amaze, except for the stupid decision to make it come out over the bezel. I don't think I'll be putting this phone on it's front, lol

How do you turn the leds off? The light bleed is a little annoying but not a deal breaker. I am overall happy with the screen. At least its not bluish color like the sgs2.

the light bleed is only noticeable if you have the screen brightness low and you have to be indoors or low light area of the phone auto shuts off the touch key lights, but I dont think the light bleed is acceptable it belies the supposed high quality/price of our phone and makes me think my next phone will be a samsung

Screen bleed is unacceptable on a phone that's close to $600
I got a brand new in the box Amaze free as a warranty exchange for the myTouch 4G Slide. The unacceptable screen bleed is ridiculous. Display is far inferior from the myTouch 4G Slide's LCD. On top of that I CAN see every pixel as well regardless of how dim the lights are. Women have more cones in the eyes biologically than male and maybe this is why since I am female so we can see specs of dust whereas men sometimes overlook this. Not sure if original author was female or not the whole point is I sure as hell see every pixel and the light bleed and it's unacceptable. The phone also overheats, has reached 111F. I'm annoyed. I was a huge fan of the phone until I got my own and played with it at night. Yes cool camera and all but now I"m not so happy anymore. Seems like the next best phone will be the coming Nexus.

Hello, I just got a Thunderbolt through my work and I noticed the screen tends to wash out at angles. I had this same problem with my T-Mobile HTC Glacier or MT4G. It turned out to be 2 different vendors Sharp and Sony displays being used in this model. Once I got the good display it was a noticeable difference in the quality of the better display vs the bad one. Direct viewing from straight on is ok just as it was on the HTC Glacier. So I just wonder if anyone might have a good one and could post some pics to show.
Here is my original thread for the HTC Glacier with the Screen issues. There are some pictures and videos to compare the differences. I'm seeing some washing out at angles, especially around the clock digits where this problem is easily seen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863679
Here are some pictures of mine with the Sharp screen. The noticeable areas are the clock widget black areas where they flip.
I'd say it's possible. I'm sure they have more than one place that manufactures the devices. There's been some variability in the build quality of the devices, so it's not too far fetched.
I don't have a camera other than my phone to take pictures, though. It looks like a really good display to me and doesn't "wash out"
You're right there are two displays. I went to the store last week to compare my phone with the display. Because I used to have the mytouch 4g and it took three tries to get one with a nice display. So I was surprise, when I saw the display model and colors were not as vibrant as mine. Man did I get Lucky, first try and it's a winner.
This is interesting. I ran a "dmesg |grep panel" and it returned sharp. I wonder if anyone would get Sony.
Mine is noticeably worse than my MT4G that had the good screen.

If you ask me, there is no doubt that there are two panels for this device. My first TBolt (which had several problems) had a really bad screen and I complained about it in another thread like this one. I had it exchanged and the new one is VERY much better. The first one was not crisp, colors were bad, looked blown out next to my DInc OLED. The replacement is crisp and the colors are beautiful.
I didn't get a chance to compare side-by-side, but everyone who had seen my first one, even my wife who is pretty oblivious about these things, would say that the new one is dramatically better.

Thanks, could some of you with good screens do a dmesg in terminal and report if you have a sharp or Sony panel. Make sure you restart then immediately run the terminal and dmesg command. Mine is a sharp so I'm thinking it is the bad display. Also if you can post some pictures of the screen from the side at extreme angles.
I will try to take some pictures of mine and post them tomorrow.
Before some of you start stating your opinions about looking at the screen at angles, yes there are situations where you are viewing at angles. Also it has been proven at least in the MT4G with the bad sharp display that the colors are not as vivid as with the sony screen even when looking straight on.
Mine is made in Taiwan. If you have a good one post where it was made please.
Mine returned Sharp.. and the screen is much better than my OG droid and my wife's fasicnate. I can read this post at ~160ish degrees, sooo.. no idea

Reading this board may not be enough to tell. I will be interested to see if anyone has a Sony screen to compare.
The point is, everything I do on this phone can be done at that angle, in relation to using the screen. Colors do not change, only the brightness, as to be expected from a gloss screen (and gloss screen protector).
I personally think that shows a quality screen.
Definitely not something to worry about.
FYI : I have my dpi set to 200 if that matters
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Here are some more pictures which stand out more with green colors. You can really tell the difference as you tilt to angles and the deep green contrast is lost and it is hard to define the icons. The middle picture is taken from straight on and you can see the difference. I think on the Good Sony displays there will be no difference when looking from angles. I really suspect that the same display problems are following from HTC and the MT4G.
Is there any way to tell my looking at the hardware number what screen we have?

No I doubt it, we could never tell with the MT4G. The only one thing that seemed to hold true in the beginning was the ones made in China had a higher percentage of the good screens and more of the ones made in Taiwan had the more of the bad ones.
i have a sharp panel as well. i'm no connoisseur apparently because i think my screen looks just as good as my old incredible.
I have one made in taiwan and it is essentially flawless, only thing wrong with it is 2 very tiny dots of light leak which can only be seen in pitch black

Odd, mine is made in Taiwan, are all bolts produced there now?
dmesg says sharp panel, but I have no complaints about viewing angle or contrast after quite a bit of fiddling with it and trying to find something to whine about.
I have a sharp panel and it's better than the display model at my local store. I used to own a mytouch 4g, it took three tries to get a good display. And the good display was made in china. My TB is made in Taiwan.
This would explain why some claim to have gorilla glass style display that can't be scratched and others are getting scratches from car keys.
My first phone the digitizer went out after a drop out of the car (no glass broken or cosmetic issues just said touch panel- fail) and the second phone has light leakage not just at the bottom but at the corners too. There is a gap at the right corner for whatever to get into my phone.
I want to know if there is a different 'nicer' panel. It seems quite a few people are popping up with broken digitizers...
The phone I have is a Sharp lq043y1dx04
How do I know? Because I busted mine open to try and fix my broken digitizer. You can see pics and read the story in my post "Anyone want to see the inside of a thunderbolt?"
Still no replacements out there :-(
Digitizer or LCD
I have not taken this phone apart. But I did replace the digitizer on the HTC INC. The Digitizer is separate from the LCD in that phone. Does anyone know if the Digitizer is separate in the Thunderbolt? If so, it does not matter who the manufacturer of the LCD is.
I to agree with this thread that the digitizer on the Thunderrbolt is very easily scratched especially compared to the HTC INC.
Anyone else's have really bad light leakage at the bottom??

my first one did took it back. second one is decent.
Between light leakage and dead pixels I would say there are a few with cosmetic issues out there. I had to take my first phone back in for an exchange because it had a dead pixel in the right hand corner and also had dust underneath the camera lens. Looked over my replacement in the store and checked for dead pixels with the Dead Pixel Test app and it was fine. Failed to notice this eye sore near my search button. When capacitive buttons are lit up this thing is hard not to notice. Called Customer Service and they are supposed to call me tomorrow to let me know about yet another exchange...
I have some too. It's nothing to care about tho, my buttons and 2D-3D switch are solid unlike some who are having over sensitivity issues. If I am anal about my phone id be spending too much time with sprint customer service and less time enjoying a great device. If i complained I'd probably get a phone with other issues. I have warranty and insurance, if something REALLY goes wrong, ill just get a replacement. My real goal is not to drop this baby
In your picture, the white "dot" near your search button...is that where the light sensor is on your hardware? Mine is located just above and to the left of my "back" button...that would be weird if it was actually in two different locations. Or is it just a reflection from somewhere?
...just to be clear, I am referring to the first picture that was posted.

Light sensor is always located on the top of the device.
On the 3vo its to the right of the HTC logo on top of your phone
From working in a plastic injection molding company it looks as if the white glowing spec is where it wasn't fully painted or molded (aka short shot) before the layer of glass was placed over it... Causing a leak of light

what HW version do you have? I have some small light leakage at the bottom too BUT i think the big thing different from the evo4g screens is that the screens are very tight, when you try to push them down they dont budge. With the 4G you could pinch the screen and the light leakage would go away some. With the 3d thats not the case.
Now as far as your 2d/3d button. how is it play wise front to back? mine wiggles a bit front to back but is very solid top to bottom(direction to switch to 2d-3d).
Guys,
Use screen filter from the marker. Set transparency to 100% it won't filter anything but will dim the capacative buttons to almost off. Just a band aid for now but it will help.
No light leakage here, but I headache a case that would hide out I'd there was, so for right now I'm not worried.

That is exactly what mine looks like. I'm using that screen filter app and trying to forget that it's there for now. I'll make a switch if anything near the end of the 30 days. What I'm really trying to get used to after my nova screen EvO4G is the yellowish hue over everything. Seems like an Epson panel all over again
HTC just needs to dim those capacative Buttons down. No reason for it to be that bright. So annoying useing it at night/ in the dark.
That would be awesome if someone could write an app to control the light of the capacitive buttons. I mean if screen filter can shut them on/off....
i got a little bit, and although id rather it not be there, i really dont mind it at all...
reason is, that unlike the one the OG EVO had which looked like a mess because its random spots where it leaks where it looks ugly, but on the E3D it looks like a slight (very very slight) glowing ring around the bottom which doesnt look that bad IMO
It's not light bleed LOL those are so bright its a reflection . So don't worry not light leaking .

Being on my 4th, I feel ya! Dead pixel, paint missing by the menu button, yellowish tint to the screen w/bad light bleed from the bottom. My 4th is actually pretty good. No dead pixels or missing paint. The screen is 100x's better, the colors pop and can appreciate the SLCD now. Only very minor light bleed across the bottom and only visible in the dark. Nothing like my 3rd, it was out of control lol
If we could get an app like screen filter which can turn the capacitive buttons off/on...someone should make an app that has a slider to dim them.
First one received from tela sales Kentucky warehouse had light leakage galore on bottom & creeping up both sides at soft key area ugly stuff.
I took to corp store swapped out for new no leakage present.
2d-3d key is tiny loos of course no big deal.
That should be easy jerry-rig fix padding out key with scotch tape, I'm just waiting for good tear down video before doing so.

Agree! They really need better quality control. At my local RS I opened 5 boxes and every phones had flaws, including, smashed power buttton, nick on black paint, seams on edges not flush. This is ridiculous! I have a good unit, but dreading the day something happens, like light leakage, for example. GET IT TOGETHER HTC!!!!
I have horrible light leak around the bottom inch of the phone all around the cap. Buttons..
Radio shack said I can't return it "because I'm past my 30 days"
I bought a og EVO to tide me over till the EVO 3d came out... Back on June 1st and since I exchanged my og EVO for the new evo3d they consider it being past my 30 days?

It's an IPS display pannel screen, which are known for being super bright and having light bleed on blacks. However, they also have the best color gamut (range) and quality. Apple uses them for all of their displays (including the ipad). You could turn down the brightness a bit if it bothers you.

If I were you I'd definitely send it back while you still can and claim one of the 100,000 - 200,000 HP is going to produce next month. Mine has a slight cloudyness / gohsting effect like yours but is barely noticeable even on max brightness on a black screen. These Touchpads have been know to have screen defects due to improper installation or settling in during production. So if it were me I'd send it in for repair. Sorry you just got it and will end up missing it while its away I feel your pain. Hope I could help.
To fix the issue...
Go to setting and slide down the BRIGHTNESS...
Hope to solve your screen issue.
Mine looks identical to yours. Though I don't notice it very often in normal use.reminds me of my old g2x screen (also ips). I guess just live with it.

Mine looks similar. Luckily it's only really noticeable as the device boots.

backlight clouding
my touchpad got the same issue, seems to be normal, sadly
Add another one to the list.
All 3 touchpads I purchased exhibit similar backlight bleeding--all along the same left side, near the speakers.
1 was about as severe as the attached picture in the OP. The others minimal.
My guess is faulty design in tandem with the IPS technology resulting in what seems to be widespread--aka normal.
Yeah, i notice it on my normal desktop IPS monitors as well, but mostly if you have brightness way up and a full black screen. IPS has a drawback that it does not display true black very well. I keep my normal monitors at like 30-40% brightness (much higher and I would go blind from it) and I don't really notice it.
All are the same
Have seen 6 of them plus mine...same issues.
Deal with it at 99... whe ask perfection for a tablet at the price of the photo frame. HP should return your money and donate the tablet to a poor kid in the third world. They will save some money in that case...
If less means "more" than "all" will be nothing!
Yeah my Asus Transformer IPS panel also had light bleed. It the IPS panels are excellent screens, but this is one of the prices you pay. Besides during normal use you don't really notice it.
I advise not staring at your screen while it's booting up.
Got my TP back from the European Service Center (located in Hungary) today.
Well, the bleeding on the left edge of the screen got slightly better BUT the operation left visible marks on the housing.
It seems they pried the Touchpad open with some sort of tool around in the area of the rubber seal surrounding the display, thus leaving "screwdriver-marks".
I will contact HP Support again.
Should have listened to you IPS Panel guys
So I am using my phone at night and I noticed some light bleeding. Not the usual one everyone talks about but at the very bottom of the screen where the Home button is. I can see light being emitted across the base of the screen where it meets the surrounding.
When I press the screen in on that section it goes away. So upon closer inspection I can see that the screen is slightly raised at that section and I can press down on it and it will be level but slowly raise back up causing the light bleeding.
Great. Anyway I bought this phone second hand. Do you think HTC will honor the warranty if I send it in to fix the screen?

After reading this I noticed I have this too. Im not sending mine since it doesn't bother me at all but if yours is really bad you should send it back. I don't see why they wouldn't make a warranty exchange.
Try and snap a picture, it'd help a lot more people see what the problem looks like

its normal, i have it too, so does my dad's amaze, both new phones
Hmmmm seems like another common issue. Ill try to take some pics today to show everyone what I am talking about. It amazes me, no pun intended, that I switched back to HTC from Samsung for better build quality and so far I've had so many issues already compared to the Vibrant I had before this phone.

I have the same issue, doesn't bother me though.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G
I also have it, Atleast i think its a light bleed, ive also thought that maybe its the light from the display just reflecting off the lifted edges/bezle??? Doesnt bother me much either anymore.
Noticed this the first day I have got the Amaze. Went back to the store, check the demo model, another new one sealed in box does the same thing, we are SOL
If I have the light enabled on the soft keys, I can see it.
Since day 1 it has been there but now it's creeping up the sides...as if the glass might simply 'pop' out one day, that's something I can reinstall.
Another vote for "visible".
thats really weird. I have a telus amaze and no problems here :/ just the normal screen bleed because of the light of the buttons.
Pics with and without the soft keys enabled, taken with my wife's amaze...which is also showing separation.
Always thought it was just a part of the design.

I am trying to learn to appreciate it as a pretty glow during scroll menus in portrait LOL, that is what I thought it was at first HAHA!
I learned that most Amaze 4G has this issue, so I was like:
Waiting for someone's screen to just pop off now lol

The gap has quickly moved from the bottom, up the sides.
After yeas of consistent use my HD2 case was bowed in on the sides, probably from the "stress" of 5 beautiful children...that includes twins.
lol.
The Amaze cases don't seem vulberable to such forces of massive rage grip, so hopefully no pop.
Both phones were complimentary due to a tmobile blunder, so no insurance (ocd kept my HD2 pristine, these should be fine) I'll do the 3m tape thing I've read so much about on the Sensation forums.
Now THERE'S a poorly built phone...kripes.

but you're not forever alone, more of a trolololololol.
however it is your pretty glow, win/win!
Screen bleed is normal in the sense that it is common, but I for one do not consider it acceptable. It is not inevitable, and you can get a screen that doesn't have it.
I just tell myself that these screens are made super quickly and put in these phones super quickly, assembled by some in all likelihood poor underpaid worker.
I cut them some slack, although screen bleed absolutely bothers me. What I dislike is the lottery process. I would pay more for a screen that could guarantee no screen bleed.
