#1: awesome name
#2: yeah a LOT of people on this forum had the pink softkey problem....and they all just returned the device for another until they were red....or, they opened it and painted their led's red
You could open it up, like he said, and just use a red sharpie to color them, if you don't have the right paint. It fades after a few weeks, but I used to do that. Or you could use one of the Sense 3.6 custom roms, and use the leedroid tweak to dim the lights down. They look much better dimmed, to me at least

Or ... you could let it be.
I have seen some fairly bad Refurbs in my day. If your only problem with your phone is that you do not appreciate the general shade of red present on your buttons, I say hold onto it tight with both hands and never let it go.
At least the soft keys match up with the ROMs that have unicorn porn in the Dev section.

I got my brand new 3vo and the first thing I see is light bleed!
It is along the bottom of the screen. I'm scared to boot the other one I ordered.

I can't believe people have had this phone for like 36 hours and this is the first thread!!!
Yep the 3D does have light bleed along the bottom of the screen and up the sides. Doesn't appear to be as bad as the Evo 4G but it is there.
And I don't thing the power button is any different either. It the same hard to find one on my Evo 4g.

Your saying in a dark room the bottom edge of the phone doesn't glow a bit?? I bet if you check especially with a lighter image on the phone you will see it.

Yup, same here. It's minor, and doesn't really bother me. Barely noticeable.
The powerbutton though, how's it hard to find? It's always in the same spot and never moves!
yes, this is one of the things i wish htc fixed but i have it too.. im going to ask for a new one because i have a white spot near the home button from the light.. guess the black under the glass didnt cover that little pin size spot.
as for the light bleed... i always use a case on my phone, do i dont see it much. sucks that its there i guess but not a deal breaker

Ya it has it a little bit but It doesn't bother me one bit cuz I don't walk around pitch black rooms to notice it, lol. But I gotta say I CAN'T WAIT till this phone is rooted cuz it's already AWESOME!!!!
Mine is the same way, a little light bleeding from the capacitive buttons, but not a big deal at all.
I see it in a well lit room. I had to go in a dark room with my dslr to get the picture. maybe I'll get a case but I sure do like to streak.
Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
No bleed with my Otterbox covering the bottom of the phone. =)

I have it too...but its really really minimum. If I use my case, its all covered up anyway...no biggie..

To each there own. Personally I don't like companies doing shotty work on any part of my device. It's not bad but when I'm laying in bed on the EVO it was annoying and could make watching videos not good. Like I said I'm weird but I like my products made with care and without batch defects.
That being said it not as bad as the original but its a shame they couldn't fix such a stupid issue.

Of course it's not a big deal, but it's really something that just shouldn't happen. When cheaper phones by HTC can have no leaks, then it means it's all just a matter of quality control.
Both phones have light bleed at the bottom. It's there. It is very hard to photograph. I won't go into why it is so hard to photograph. But it shows up very well in a bright room.
No light bleed here whatsoever

can you post a pic please?
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
All speculation don't qoute me on it

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 .

It seems that there are quite a few problems with the Rezound, including reboots, heat issues, and dead pixels. For those of you with bad phones, even if you are returning them, would you mind posting the issue you have and the manufacture date or batch number on the phone. If you don't have that, maybe the HW Version (although that will be much less useful, short of HTC running a new batch to fix the major heat and reboot issues).
To get your phone manufacture date:
1. Dial ##7764726
2. Hit call
3. Insert 000000 for password
4. Hit Display Grouping
5. Manufacture Date Code is what you need there
Maybe we can figure it out here. Will update the 2nd post with findings.

Do you want members without issue to compare dates/batches?

Whatever everyone feels might help.
the only way i remember getting my manufactorer date on the incredible was the bootloader..or something...i think......i forget actually; how do i do it? lol
Sorry I already returned mine but I had a dud. I had it at 130F at one point! Also the bottom buttons were a magenta color instead of red. This new one is awesome! Runs perfect!

No more pink/magenta buttons? I'm having that issue right now.
guys, can you take pics of these "magenta" buttons? no buttons will ever be pure red, IMO. mine are red, but have a lighter red hue, which in turn leads to a pinkish hue...it's nothing to warrant a replacement whatsoever though.

I'm on my 3rd Rezound for dead pixels.... Guess what this one also has dead pixels that just popped up. Where can I find the information again so I can post.
I am currently on my 3rd rezound. First one mhl out didn't work, second one started rebooting constantly, now this one overheats when streaming video from the internet through the mhl. Love the phone but wish the features all worked correctly. Bought it on release day, got last one 4 days ago.

I got my Rezound from Amazon delivered on Tuesday. I have not had any issues that others are reporting. No dead pixels, no pink/magenta hue on the capacitive buttons (they are indeed red) No overheating. No nothing. Works like a top. *Knock on wood*
I had one with bad light leak on the screen from the capacitive lights. Got it replaced. This one has light leak at the bottom bezel and the lights are almost pink. But idk how I feel about returning another one. Don't want to be that guy. And chances are I could get one with a whole different problem.
Rabble rabble rabble.
i think we ALL have light leak. it's just how the phone was designed.
Well the other one I had had none at the bottom. It leaked above the capacitive lights. My lights have officially gone pink now on this one.

I only notice it when turning on the screen in a dark-ish room, for a second, the button backlight goes on, and you can see it, but once the screen lights up you can't. I call this a non-issue. Moving on ...

That's why I'm not returning mine for the pink buttons, I've had to return phones in the past and each one after the original had a major issue... especially my Charge. Holy crap.
As far as the pink buttons, I've disabled them with the Screen Filter app. Everything else works perfectly on this phone, especially the voice quality and 4G reception. No reboots, no overheating... just the pink effing buttons. So it's staying. I'll either disable them permanently once a kernel is released that allows control or I'll open the phone up and use red translucent paint on the back of the buttons.

Yeah all my EVO 3Ds had the same frikken issue. But it isn't nearly as bad on the rezound compared to the EVO. I had 2 random reboots this afternoon. 1 I was typing a post while in Tapa and the frikken thing froze. Second one I was just browsing in the market. Seemed as if I was scrolling and clicking to fast AMD the phone couldn't handle it. But I still love it. Got Verizon TP extend my return policy to Jan 15th, so I got plenty of time. But have no intentions to return.

Going by all of the promotional photos and the other accents on the phone, I think that it is pretty safe to say the the buttons should also be red. That said, a lot of owners have found that some (as on mine) or all of the buttons have a light red (pink) hue. Since the actual backlights are white, it seems to be a manufacturing defect in that the red tint used on the digitizer was not applied properly on some devices. Yes, it sucks. There's also a thread showing some users cracking open their RZDs using everything from a red sharpie to color the white LED's to completely replacing them with red LED's.

Haha. Yeah, two of mine are fairly red, but the others are very pink. I want to rub the lights down with a sharpie, but I haven't looked into getting the "void" sticker off in one piece yet. I'm also wondering how legit the "replacement" stickers are on ebay. The fact that they only sell them in sheets of [email protected]$10 a sheet is lame though.

So we bought a phone with red capacitive lights, and aren't supposed to be bummed that they are pink? Everything relating to a smartphone is a first world problem, so calling this one complaint out is a little silly. I had my lights replaced with red LEDs. My warranty isn't void. If it doesn't bother you, that's great. You don't need to tell us that it shouldn't be an issue, because obviously, to some of us, it is.

Yepp to some of us the details are important. Obviously for someone for example who can care less about cars, they wouldnt put rims on it or other stuff, but for someone who does, its something they want done. I would def want my rezound in white, would look sick with the red lights and red grill n so forth, but im not gonna paint this guy cuz it never stays as good as factory done i wish stupid colorware would paint other phones aside from gay ass iphones and ipads...

They're not exactly Red. I wish they were more red. But I got over it. I'm not going to waste the resources to manufacture an entire new phone because they're a few shades short of the red I'd hoped for.

HTC should know that customers are not happy about it. Even if they don't receive the complaints directly, the exchanged handsets should be enough of an indication. I'm probably being too wishful in that regard though, as the handsets will likely just be "re-certified" and sold again, knowing Verizon. Then the circle of life is completed - the only resources consumed are some new packaging materials.
Because there are not enough threads already regarding black I decided to start one . Mods you can close if you want I just want people to see this and if it is hidden in a thread no one will.
If you are having trouble deciding between black and silver let me see if I can help you out. As of this moment I love both and it is a very hard choice.
Silver has a smoother feeling in the hand. Whereas the black has a completely different feel. Also the black seems to hide the metal look to the phone, it does not stand out or have the shimmer on the bezel. The black looks like just another phone and the silver stands out as something different.
The black color seems to hide the speaker grills and makes the transition from the screen to the rest of the phone consistent. I did not see any scratches on either unit but the black seems to conceal defects (like gap issues) a lot better but if it chips the silver would be hard to hide(maybe marker)
This is the first time I would be happy with either color. I've always been a fan of black phones, I never took a second look at white phones. But this is not a choice you can make by pictures or videos. You need to get the phones in your hand. The term stealth black is perfect for the phone, it does a great job looking stealthy.
To sum it up silver will turn more heads and stands out more but black looks slick and beautiful.
Here are pictures of my two phone

Yeah,had this debate with the Wife a week ago when I picked up my H1. I was pretty set on Black but she kept saying as you said about it standing out more in Silver,and looking like every other phone in Black..Ultimately,I took her suggestion and got the Silver. Many compliments later and from my own time spent with it...I think it was the right choice.Would love to see this in Blue though.
