I have the SGH-I527M and have no bleeding at all on the screen near the back button when the back button is lite up..maybe when they made that particular phone you have they might have forgot to seal the back button light off so that light cannot get onto the screen..most unfortunate indeed, maybe if you go to your phone provider and tell them the problem and they can exchange the phone for you. If that happen to me i would go back and get the phone exchanged as it would kinda annoy me knowing it was there doing this in dark scenes.

I have bleeding in top right corner

i forgot about this. i checked the demo at the att store. it was tough to see it was so bright in there but it had the bleed too. i bet all of them do its just you have to be in total dark and dark background and even then its tough to notice unless you are looking for it.
im waiting to get together with a friend and check his too

Should I return my TBolt and get another one?

I just spent hours setting up all my apps, widgets, media, everything. Now I notice when the capacitive buttons are lit I have two tiny pinhole sized light leaks under the buttons at the bottom edge of the screen....grrrrr! Not very noticeable but freaking lame. Take it back?

Same thing.
Mine isn't that noticable unless ur in the perfect spot looking at the phone from the reverse angle, figured that never happens anyway. For the user you never see it so, /shrug.
Seems like it might be a common problem though if yours is similar.
If your talking about when you hold the phone vertical and look straight down the edge of the screen. I have them too.

I'm having the same problem, but like you wrote it's not noticeable unless you are looking at it from an angle. For now I'll live with it but if it gets any worse I'm taking it back to Verizon.
All of them are like that, so if that is your only complaint, no don't return it.
I can't find any light leaks on mine...
Maybe I'm lucky or I just don't see it.
The EVO had the same issue, 1st builds of anything are gonna have issues

I notice that too, but I think that is normal. My light leaks are actually at the very bottom of the phone, in the black area beneath the buttons. You can see them when holding the phone normally, not upside down or at an angle.

Thats where is was talking about. Im not noticing them just looking at the phone regularly only at a downward angle.
Yeah, I noticed it too. I then looked at my Dinc and it had the same problem. Never noticed it before and I've had that since July. Haha

i dont see it but that wouldnt bother me long as the phone works im fine .. shoot i already have this ugly bulky extended battery but hey if it getts me better phone time cool
Noticed this too when using phone in a darker environment. There's light bleeding through between the bottom glass and the case near the back button when viewing at about 65 degree.

Light leakage

Anyone else's have really bad light leakage at the bottom??

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 .

LoL I'm about to email the dev of screen filter to see if he can add control of the capacitive buttons.
Speaking of light leakage is anyone else's 2d/3d button kind of wobbly?

EVO 4g lte yellow tint display !!

I just unboxed my ltEVO and it has a predominant yellow tint for white. I read about this with the one-x. Mine seems heavy. But I'm coming from a super amoled+ display that has a blue tint on white. Anyone else having this issue?
I read about a possible patch for the one-x, do you guys think this can be corrected via software?

From my experience with screen starting with the Treos to HTC to Asus that this is hardware and not software. Sometimes screen manufacturer will use a different top panel if supply is short.
However there is an app called "Screen Adjuster" that will allow you to change RGB as well as contrast. I used this temporarily on my Asus Prime (home screen transition) til I finally got a Prime with a whiter less yellower screen. It may slow your phone down however as it slowed my Prime just a tad. The contrast is what'll slow it down by a lot so try not to use it.
I forget though but you may need to be rooted to use it.

Youll get used to it till you see another screen thats whiter or more blue.
My screen is much more yellow than my brothers, I used ADB to get the panel manufacturer and they both say sony...so strange. I used the method that the ATT One X guys are using over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25025862&postcount=29
Both ours say Sony, what do you get?

Yes, its normal if your coming from a different phone like the s2.
Its probably sony made screen which is better! Most people prefer the yellowish tint than blue anyways!
I know this thread is old, but I figured it'd be better to bring it back up than to create a new thread about the same thing. I got my EVO one week ago and have noticed that I have this yellow tint on my display as well. From reading through other forums for various phones (iPhone, One X, etc.), many people say that this is due to an adhesive that hasn't fully cured and should go away with time. On my phone, the tint is the most pronounced towards the bottom of the phone. I'm not sure if it really will go away with time or not, and my 14 days will be up soon.
My main question is that for others who have noticed this yellow tint on their phones, has it really gone away over time? Or is it still there?
The strange thing I have noticed is that it is not my ENTIRE screen that seems to be warmer/yellow-tinted. The very very edges of the LCD on all four sides appear to be free of this yellow tint. For example, when I open the Settings menu, I can make out a slight warm/yellowish rectangle covering all of the LCD except for the very edges which appear to be pure white. I'm not sure what to do with my phone as far as whether I should keep it or try to get it replaced in hopes of getting one without this yellow tint.

Mine has had the yellow tint on the bottom of the screen since launch. It has not gone away.
I forgot to mention that even when using Screen Adjuster and boosting the blues or even the reds or greens just to experiment, the yellow is still visible. This leads me to believe that it is not an issue with the LCD but rather with something that is on top of the LCD.
Yah... It's not going to go away. But if you're like me, you will eventually stop noticing it. Had mine for two months and the tint at the bottom right is still there but I honestly had forgotten about it till I saw this post.

I received my new htc evo v 4g few days back, and unfortunately, I also have yellow tainted screen. I also have galaxy s2 and this is huge change for me.
Galaxy s2 is on white and bluish side. and this htc evo v is predominantly yellow. If i open google on both the background, supposed to be white, is strongly yellowish in htc. Also, if i use the app screen adjuster, i am able to fix it !
Now am at the fix shall I continue with it or go for a change. The problem is that replacement is huge hassle with virgin mobile. PLUS you have to pay shipping by urself as well.
What you guys did? getting used to yellow or replacement?
Ive never had a yellowish tint...

[Q] Is my DNA faulty or is a design problem?

Hi guys,
So I'm posting here to ask you if this is normal or not. I'm noticing that there's a tiny tiny crack between the biezel that joins the screen to the backplate of the phone (where the plastic of the screen meets the rubber plastic of the back. This is at the bottom near the usb port in the middle between the home button and the back button. It's tiny, however it's enough that some of the white light coming from the capacitive buttons escapes from that crack/gap whatever it is that.
I've had the phone for more than 15 days now and I never noticed because this is the first time I've used the phone in a pitch black room. That's when I noticed a very dim white light escaping the biezel at that position. However, that's the only way to see it, even under close inspection you cannot see any gaps or anything... only when the surrounding is really really dark.
I hope that I explained it well because unfortunately I don't have another camera to take a picture with to show you.
Try to use your phone in a pitch black room and you should see it right away or not?
thank you,
I experience nothing like this on mine.

Faint blue dot on the screen against a light background

Right out of the box I unlocked and rooted my device. Now I noticed a faint blue dot on my screen anytime I view a white page,like a browser. I'm sure it is bot from rooting but a search of the web brings only a handfull of results of people with the same issue. Seems like a soft spot in the screen. I am torn whether to wait and see if it goes away or re lock it and exchange it. Any thoughts from anyone who has a similar issue whether it cleared up on its own or you exchanged?

a few people have had this issue with the holster shell combo case, because it puts weird pressure on the sides/back. do you have it in a case? i think they returned them, some said they even massaged the blue away. i don't have it on mine and only have it in a TPU case.
I don't have any case. I'm going to try to massage it away. I called for a replacement but unfortunately I have the red employee edition and there aren't anymore available. So I'm out of luck
