It seems my phone [an unotherwise issue-free replacement] has an issue with it's proximity sensor. It works when I am holding it to my left ear and shuts off the screen, but not on my right ear....?

a lot of wax in one ear? :laugh::laugh:
I'll have to look up how they work, sonar? Any chance that you have a bright light shining on it one way? Put it to your left ear, turn around and see if there is any change. Is it clean? (there has been reported problems with gunk on it)
Otherwise, I'm with Ashton...strange.
You must not be blocking all of the light to the photo cell when you hold it on your right side. You can run your finger along the top of the phone to figure out where it is

its right at the left hand end of the Verizon check mark the front of the device
On the left the sensor is against the back of your ear/head, on the right its on the front and light must be getting to it

JUST kidding... though you make sense... going to play around with the positioning.
Figure it out yet?
One ear must be a different shape... I have to hold the phone with the top of the unit behind the back out rim of my right ear to turn it off.
But doing so makes it hard to hear the caller because the speaker is then resting on the cartilage of the outer ear portion...

Please refer to the picture below. Do you spot any abnormalities with my SAMOLED+ display? The yellow tint is gone after flashing to 2.3.5, but the area in the lower left is still showing a lighter tone--like a right triangle; so does a small area on the upper left. Also, the brightness (as I've noticed in other S2's) is not evenly distributed across the screen. These problems are hardly visible in normal use, but it becomes visible in grey backgrounds, and notifications area, and lowest brightness in web browser. Please let me know, thanks.

so, what do you all think? Please let me know thank you.
Mine looks exactly like that: triangle in bottom left, splotch in top right, and whole left seems a little dimmer than the rest. I haven't installed any updates & bought mine in South Africa; where did you get yours? I was honestly under the impression that AMOLED was the technology to go for, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
At first I was going to ignore the lighting defects and the pink tint in the center of camera images as there aren't that severe, but now I've found my phone's earpiece probably has a problem too. It makes a crackly noise during calls that sounds like something's loose in the speaker, so I reckon it's time to send this one back...
Update: I got mine replaced today due to the speaker problem, and the new one has neither the triangle nor the splotch. It is still darker down the left side of the screen though, maybe even a bit more so than on the old one...
I had exactly the same issues (well, not exactly as mine were worse). I had to replace it twice. Now I have one without this issues, no yellowish border and little to no banding.
The guys at the service told me that if there is any problem now, I can get a new phone right away, but considering how many people have display problems, I would rather repair this one. It's display is suspiciously perfect...

Has anyone noticed a significant creaking on there amaze 4g when pressing the screen. For me whenever i answer a call it sounds like pressing a button. The issue seems more prevalent on the right side of the screen and only with the casing on.

I have heard what are talking about, but I don't know if I would classify it as "significant". I think what you're hearing is the contact points, between the main body and the back cover, compressing because of the pressure of you pushing down. There's a couple of contacts near the video camera button.
I can only hear it, even faintly, if the environment I'm in, is pretty quiet. I guess I would have preferred HTC used spring loaded "pins", instead of the "folded" copper, but I don't think it's a big deal
My sister has that. I found it very annoying when I was rooting her phone.
Without a case its rather annoying, but with a tpu or d3o case its entirely inaudible.
I got this problem too, except its probably not as severe. A couple of times it wouldn't do it after I reseat it a certain way.

Not even slightest sound on my Amaze. Rock solid.
I believe it is the back (battery) cover that is making the noise and not the screen and it seems to be where it makes contact with the side of the device.
I think it's on the back as well, but mine seems to be around the center. Might put a small piece of foam there to see if it fixes anything.
I get a bit of noise, but it comes from the lower left part of the phone where there is play between the case and the rest of the phone. others have recommended that the use of foam helps with this issues.
Sensations have this problem all the time. Usually with a case though it goes away.

The more you flash (and subsequently pull the back cover) the sooner it will happen. It is slight wearing of the lock tabs and prongs inside the case.
When i put my razor down on the table if i press on one of the bottom corners it teeters left and right. Can others please check to see if your razor lays flat on the table or can you rock it back and forth if you press on one of the bottom corners??
yes indeed, mine lays flat. maybe its your table?

Mines flat

My RAZR is lying flat. But I know it might be really bothering. Before that I owned motorola milestone - it had this problem. Can be really annoying, but I've managed to ignore this
Mine is flat as well, with and without case...
Absolutely flat.
Mines flat too...
flattest phone ever
Hey Dukel bro,
Mine is also as flat as it could be. Nice to see some familiar names here.
Same here. Flat!

So I left my precious Galaxy Note on the back on my dads truck, the car that he will only drive 10% of the time, and then today he drives it. I go out to get my phone and realize he took the truck. I was like "OHHHHHHH *swear words*!!!!!!!!!"
I went out and looked for it and found it on the side of the rode face down with the screen protector off. I had a simple flip case on it, but I wasn't able to find that.
I am ultra sad right now, but there is a lot of hope.
A strange thing is that the battery was still in it and the back of the phone had absolutly no scratches on it.
I turned it on and I could hear little startup sounds like the new gmail message one
So I guess that is good, but I still have this broken screen .
So the reason I am posting this is because I want to know if I can get it fixed with a kit or something. I am assuming I have to get the LCD and polarizer because the screen is cracked into little bits as the picture showed, and I can pick out each of those bits pretty much.
So much for gorilla glass
Gorilla glass is not for a phone dropping off a moving car....
Also p.m. me I have a spare backing for the note brand new

wait, you left the phone on the back of his truck.....you say that like its normal like one would put it on their dresser or something. So you normally leave your phone in the garage on a vehicle?
Looks like someone ran over it. too many impact points on the glass from pressure applied, rather than the initial smack on the ground.

Hi, I have had my Le Max 2 for well over a year and it has been working fine. Tonight exactly one half(right side vertically) has a pink/green noise flicker on and off all the time. I've attached an image but of what is happening, although its the whole right side now and not just 3/4 of it. Also the previous screen I am browsing sometimes stays on the right side too.
Can anyone help with what it could be?
Cheers for your help

You need to remove the screen. Make the screen contact correct. Improve the badge. Secure with screws. Everything will be fine.
I have same problem, it shows up for 100ms, then it's gone. I have it appearing only while watching videos, never on normal use. With modem/firmware from 16s to 28s I always have this kind of glitch appear from top to bottom, on modem 30s it looks exactly like on yours 3/4 th of screen. Looks like software problem to me. I still have no solution for it
Hi, Im the original poster. My le max still does this every now and again but at the moment its fine. Mine is definitely to do with hardware. I believe its a loose ribbon. It sometimes starts if i drop my phone and i can also stop it from happening if i bang the phone upside down a couple of times.
You can try to squeeze phone just below sim slot, ribbon is located there about 1cm to the right from the left border of the screen. In my case I'm 100% sure, my problem is software related, since firmware changes glitch behavior. Unless firmware changes way how video chip communicates with the screen...
Sometimes 1 second, but I'm seeing it 1 or 2 times a week.
Rom doesn't notice
