Hello,
i noticed that theres something like an X on my Xperia P´s Screen, but it´s only visible on white background.
Could you look, if your Xperia P has the same issue?
Go to service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) -> Service tests -> Display
look at the middle of the white screen and hold your device about 50cm distant of you.
Do you also see an X?

X for Xperia, maybe? Lol. JK
This shouldn't happen. Try a reboot or I guess your pixels decided to die out in a particularly interesting manner.

I can see different shades of white vertically and they "move" if i change the viewing angle but they are visible from close distance too.
I don't see good enough to see an X from 50cm LOL I'll ask my wife when she comes back.

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.

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

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.

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL. There is an issue with the gnote and its black's. I would like to say 8 of 10 ppl are dealing with it. You can see the black blotch is very clear on the right side of your picture. No phone should do this. A fix should be coming with ICS, I hope

Yes its pretty bad. The lower the brightness the more visible it is on my note. Its kind of a buzkill when looking at my wifes HOXL and seeing perfect blending and no blotchy blacks.
Its gotta be a software issue, cuz I think I read somewhere the one x and note use the same panel tech right?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sadly, the black crush problem, or "black clipping," is a very well known issue on both the i717 and n7000 Notes. It doesn't look like the official ICS update is going to fix the problem, but at least one n7000 developer, Supercurio, says he may be able to fix it once we have the official ICS source code.
Even though the problem affects nearly every Note, Samsung has never even acknowledged that the problem exists.
Keep your fingers crossed...
Greetings. Some of you may have remembered me before, I asked some users here about their experiences with their gs3. Now, I'm about to get my own too So now I want to know, what exact defects or things do I have to check first before deciding which unit to get? Or are there certain serial numbers for units which I have to avoid?

So? I'm asking which things to check first, as based on experience, the One series from HTC has faulty units that has serial numbers starting from sh24 or earlier batches. Things like THESE are what I was asking about and what the hell does it compare to, to a girl? Please don't go off topic and be serious in answering questions. If you have nothing right to say then simply shut up

AFAIK, there isn't something like a faulty batch, there are for sure some reports about issues, but all minor like a yellow tint at white backgrounds or black dots on the screen in dark light conditions with black background (you won't notice it if you don't try to find it) or cracked screen because of clumsy use (but would recommend a case or pouch anyway).
The only real issue (not minor and not user related) I know about has been a charging issue, where the phone could only be charged over pc connection and not with wall charger, but there weren't many having this problem.
Look around and check the threads, could be I missed something, but I guess nothing major.

Hey guys,
I just noticed this in my pictures yesterday. There is a purple line and what could be the edge of the camera lens showing up in the left corner of my pics. I haven't dropped the phone so I don't know why this issue has shown up recently. My note is about two months old give or take a week. I called customer service and they want me to factory reset my phone. I don't see how that will fix a possible hardware issue. So I have not done this yet. Any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
First off welcome to XDA! It looks like a scratch to me where is it with landscape and portrait photos
That thought did cross my mind with the purple line. But what do you think the black line underneath the purple line could be??
The lines stay in the left corner in both portrait and landscape modes.
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Looks to me a small micro crack...can you shine a light on lens and see if its cracked? I had this issue on one of my old phones.
The lines would move to another corner in landscape mode versus portrait mode if it were something physically on the lens or the lens itself.
If they stay in the same corner, it's likely software. Try another camera app to test it.

That was the first thing I tried after noticing the problem. I physically don't see anything on the lens and I don't have a magnifying glass. I'm wondering if dirt has gotten behind the glass and lens. I usually store the phone in my back pocket when I'm not holding. Do you think a hard reset would work as customer support suggested?
Thanks

If the mark stays in the bottom left corner no matter which way you turn the phone, then yes, a software reset might help.
Is the line in the preview as well, or does it only appear after you take the image?

So all other camera apps..show this mark on bottom left corner?..If you've attempted to instal a few different camera apps and they all do it on that corner..its most likely a scratch or dirt mark behind the actual lens itself...I don't think it has anything to do with software related.... trying different camera apps kida debunks that....but I could be wrong I've seen sone pretty weird stuff go on with phones..lol

You seem to have a Nexus 4. If you look hard enough, you can see the same lines on that phone too. It's just the screen technology those phones use, it's completely normal.

I have a defective unit and no i dont see any lines hence why i said a replacement is needed
The display should be stronger than the avarage human eyes which is 430ppi
Z2 Screen is 442ppi, any lines if existant shouldent be easily seen at all and if any are then there is a problem
I havent seen any at on my phone so id recomend sending yours back for a replacement if posible

I had a nexus 4 and own the Z2 as well. It is perfectly normal. It is the digitiser which is built into the glass screen that you see. If I'm not mistaken, it appears under certain lighting conditions and you can see it at times and cannot at others? It is perfectly normal so don't worry! My N4/Z2 digitiser lines are not extremely visible unless held in certain ways for light to reflect off but my brother's N4 has extremely visible lines for the digitiser! Hope this helps! :highfive:
I've just been to two stores to compare my phone with other Z2's and yes the lines are more pronounced than the others... The funny thing is that my blacks are darker and my whites are whiter... It looks that the screens are different...

It's not like that. The LCD it self is good and i don't even have dead pixels.
What i see is this:
"Polarizer lines"
I think i'm going to return it. With low light it's ok but during the day i can see it very well.
This is the second Z2 that i return. The first one had a tinted red display.
I bought it on a Uk online store that i'm beginning to suspect that is selling second quality items...
