Hi guys i was using my z2 in total dark and just found out that screen backlight is leaking from magnetic charging port of the phone.
It seems like there's small gap between the port and lcd.
My concern is that it might affect waterproof function of the phone. (Maybe my z2 is a defected unit.. )
can you guys check if backlight from the screen leaks through magnetic charging port of your z2?
Thanks
PS. Mine bought 2 days ago from bell Canada. 14w17batch

Thanks for the reply guys,It looks like it's only my phone that is having light leakage problem.
I am going to take it to the Sony service center tomorrow and see what they offer me.
ps. Does anyone know how to check total call minutes?
bell offers refund/exchange only if the phone was used less than 30minute/50MB Data.
No leak here either.

No leak too.
If you have the white model and you set your screen brightness to 100% (with no adaptive), you can actually see the screen's backlight bleeding through even in the USB port area.
It looks like it may just be backlight bleeding through the plastic bit. I'll give it a go tonight in the dark with 100% brightness and update you on it.

I just had a look with the phone in a dark drawer and I can see the bleed you're talking about. It's a small gap between the metal frame and the plastic of the magnetic dock.
I am just assuming it's light going through the white plastic more than anything else.
For those who reported no such bleed, what colour is your Z2?
Purple

I also have a white Xperia Z2 and I DO have backlight bleeding through the magnetic charging port. It's very faint, but it's definitely a sliver of light bleeding through the plastic bit of the frame.
Mine has also backlight bleeding through the magnetic port. As i have tested, the waterproofing of my phone is not affected by this issue.

Yep. Normal. Removing the flaps youll see the internal parts in certain angle. So for best protection dont remove the flaps and use magnetic chargers.

No backlight leaking on mine, however after a couple minutes in the shower, I noticed water had got into the screen through the magnetic charging port, I had all ports closed ?
Sent from my Xperia Z2
Aww. Do you use magnetic dock for charging? Maybe the magnetic port is already loose thats why the water gets inside. Several Z2 users experienced loose magnetic port.
Still working? Do you able to drain the water from your z2?

Yeah I use the magnetic dock charger, I tried moving/pushing the magnetic port but it sits very solid.
Anyways I was gonna take it to the store I bought it from but the water disappeared after one day.
The repair would take about 3 weeks so for now I just gonna avoid having my Z2 near water.

Hi guys,
I have noticed some light leaking from the right side of the home button. It's a small light leak but was wondering if anyone has this issue .
I also have this issue, but I can only notice it in a dark room. Still a bit annoying though.
Can someone post a pic? Just to know what to look for.
I noticed as well earlier today. No biggie though, only a small annoyance.

They are talking about the backlight on the back-button, which if you hold the phone in a certain angle in a dark room you can see some through a gap in the home-button.
It's not a "leak" , it's the phone itself.The parts under there fit such that there's a small hole in that spot and light seems to "leak" ( and it can only be seen if you angle the phone a certain way ) . Don't think it's a big deal.
I have it too....... but it'snot really annoying.......viewed only in certain angles in a dark room
Yes it is there and mine is a little worse than my dad's phone. I've dismantled my phone. The usb PCB lies on top of the button. Unfortunately the button is sandwiched in between the lcd panel and the middle frame. I've been trying to find a way to kill the light but haven't figure out how is the light leaking out. Usually on a blackberry's keyboard it is because of the paint on the button being scraped off a little but it probably isn't the case on the phone.
I noticed it on my phone one night too. It's barely noticeable and only if you look from a certain angle. Can't say i'm bothered by this.
You seriously dismantled your phone because a bit of light leaks from the home button? Is it stopping your phone from working or something?
Madness.
I can't dismantle my phone to fix issues?
I've dismantled my $2000+ TV to fix backlight issue, dismantled my whole car's interior to fix rattling issue, I've dismantled my $1000+ dac to fix soldering issue, I don't remember what else I've dismantled but I surely dismantled and fixed a lot of issue. What's the big deal with dismantling my Galaxy S2? Some guy on youtube posted a very helpful video on dismantling an S2 but all he got was silly trolls flaming him. The same happened to people who dismantled their brand new iphone.
I've been suffering the dust issue on 2 lumias now, and have noticed something. If you go to a darkish room/area and tilt the phone, you can see the light from the backlight coming through on the sides of the screen and also at the top and bottom by the capacitive buttons.
e.g. http://discussions.nokia.com/discus...ith_Windows_Phone/30650/1/2012-12-15-1679.jpg
I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can go to a dark area, and see whether they all have this or not? Kinda worried me because made me think there's a manufacturing defect here and the screen isn't secured properly on the handset - which could maybe account for dust getting in? It might also explain the 'rattle' on vibrate that some are getting.
The three lumias I've seen all seem to have this to a certain extent (the light on the sides is usually much thinner and normally on either the right or the left - not both).

Funny enough, I had mine sent in for repairs due to scratches on the screen. After having the screen replaced I have NO light Issues and no more dust issues.
Seems during the initial build the screen is not fitted in or glued in properly ?

How would you define the light leak, eg, if I look at the screen on a very extreme angle, I can see through a minute gap at the bottom and see light from those buttons through it through the screen, but in normal circumstances it isnt noticeable at all. like the light isnt uneven or anything like that

Well it's like in the picture link that I put on the first page - Except as well as the top and bottom, there's also a small amount on the sides too that can be made to partly disappear if you push down hard on the screen there - I.e. the impression the glue holding the screen down is loose. It appears on all the ones I've seen, but I don't know, if you guys say you haven't seem it maybe I've just had extraordinary bad luck! It doesn't affect the screen when looking at it normally but it makes me worry for the future - loose things tend to become looser with time, and my theory is this, the dust and the vibrate rattle are interconnected.
I'm looking at my 920 and I think I see what you mean. On the top I see the light across almost the whole top but not at the sides or bottom. Is really a concern (I don't look at the phone at an extreme angle like that..)

Oh ok sorry, I didn't look at the pic. The vibration rattle (from what I've read) is just how it is because of the kind of vibrator (for lack of a better word I can think of) technology. Would have been good to have a nice clean vibration humm being a flagship phone...
Nothing seems to change for me when I compress the screen. Perhaps you really did just get a bit of a dodgy one?
Me either. I just did it again to make certain I wasn't lying to you. I cannot see anything from any angle. Now I'm starting to feel a little guilty.
I'm on my second 920 because the first one had a problem with switching back to handset mode after unplugging a headphone jack, but neither of them have any light leak! Maybe it is a manufacturing defect because of rushed batches due to the supply problems?

Hi
My Z2 is only a few days old, and today I decided to submerge it in water for the first time, so I dipped it in the pool (only a few centimeters deep), while recording a 4k video, for about 10 seconds.
Afterwards I checked the water indicator, and it was pink (or red), there was absolutely no water in the port, and I completely dried the phone before opening it. I never checked it before today though. I don't understand why this has happened, because the phone has been working fine for hours now. There seems to be no damage at all, everything is working. I have attached a photo. Should I be worried?

My device doesn't have a warranty anyway, so I guess this isn't that big of an issue for me, especially since the device is working perfectly.
I'll just be more careful next time with the flaps, I guess some water got in when I opened them afterwards.

You're right, sorry about that, didn't see the photo you attached properly. Anyways, I checked mine and this stripe is buried very deep inside and it's also red. But my phone has never been washed / submerged with water. So maybe it's not the water indicator after all.
Edit: looked through pictures of a disassembled Z2 but no sign of this stripe on the motherboard.

That's odd, maybe you're right.
I've never submerged my Z2 nor even had it in moist conditions, and the little flap is red. And indeed looking at the disassembly pictures, I can't seem to locate that little slip in the pictures so whatever it is, I doubt it's a moisture detector.
It is a moisture detector my z2 was mucky so I cleaned it with a cotton bud I already knew the indicator was there (which was white) then I used a damp cotton but and next thing I had pnk dye on it I looked and I tripped the indicator by mistake with the bud :silly:
So it's definitely a water indicator
Interesting - mine is 3 weeks old, has never been exposed to water and also has the red strip.
Even indoors, if the screen gets hit with direct light, there is a clearly visible crosshatch pattern across the whole display. Anyone else notice this?
Got to say I'm not too impressed with the screen quality. Light bleed, dead pixels and now this. My much cheaper Redmi 1s has none of these issues. Sure, the colours aren't as vibrant but not sure which I'd choose given the choice.

If you get direct light on the screen, you don't see the digitizer? I noticed it within a couple mins of using phone and wasn't looking for it. Never seen a digitizer so easily noticeable before.
I don't think its too much to expect at this price a screen without noticeable light bleeding, dead pixels etc. Honestly I think they used the European promotion to shift these phones with slightly subpar displays. Btw, I think you are overrating Sony's screens. They are known for the same issues I noticed on this Honor 7, even on their flagships.
I noticed this also but it happened to me after I removed stock "screen protector" and replaced with Nilkin tempered glass. I quess stock screen protector somehow filtered grid away.

I am very critcal when it comes to display, both with computers and smaller screens. Had there been a visible grid on my H7 I would have seen it, no doubt at all. I never could stand the Sony Trinitron support wires at the old CRT monitors, and a lot of people.never saw them!

I have several phones and never seen the digitizer except in bright sunlight. With the Honor 7 I noticed it indoors immediately. Even checking side by side now in same conditions, I can't see the digitizer on any of them except the Honor 7. The screen looks like it has a texture to it when light hits it, not like the usual barely noticeable digitizer pattern. I agree that its not really an issue though, more of an observation.
I think honor 7 is one of the best phones I have had for this. I have just spent a few moments trying to see it and can't. I have always been able to see it before. I still have the supplied protector on also, if that makes a difference.

Check indoors at night time. Also at night it is visible with high brightness on white background, it you look closely.

Well.. into your eyes for straight ahead but tilted at light you can see from normal distance. It is minor issue though. I'm more annoyed with my dead pixel
When I saw your post I started looking for it, with different angles, different lights, etc... I can't see it !
I remember that it was sometimes visible on my Galaxy Note 2 and LG G3, but only with intense sunlight so I'll look again on the Honor 7 next summer I guess
I think the general product quality is the main factor, for example, I often see it (even indoors) on my Onda V989, which is a 130$ chinese tablet. (The tablet is great, but the screen has a weak max brightness).

I think the general product quality is the main factor, for example, I often see it (even indoors) on my Onda V989, which is a 130$ chinese tablet. (The tablet is great, but the screen has a weak max brightness).

It is very different looking than any other digitizer, so maybe you are looking for the wrong thing. It is not dots, and not a normal digitizer pattern. It looks more like a light texture on the screen. In daylight it creates a rainbow effect.

I'll check as soon as possible !
Hi, I got the LG v30 yesterday from T-Mobile and today i noticed that the all around the screen there is light bleed . Does anyone else have it. Check in the dim room.
Here is the youtube link for the video i did
You probably going to need to give us your definition of light bleed because I'm not seeing light bleed. I'm seeing the screen and reflections off of the metal trim.

Thats not a reflection the light bleeds all around the side es of the screen it between the screen and the metal.
I have it but the phone is so thin, I kind of expected it. It doesn't take away from the device in any way for me.

I got my phone to do it finally. I had to shut off all the lights and turn the brightness up way beyond the point I'd ever actually use it at in such a situation. It's not really light bleed per se. The screen extends further and is masked to make the aspect ratio but the mask isn't taken as far out as they could have. Or they might have been able to. I'd have to go back and look at the tear down to see what's going on.
In my case the light bleed is just on the right hand side of the screen. I made a video of it here:

It's visible in any situation with low light. Even in a restaurant at night.

How high is your screen brightness ?
put on a case, problem solved.
I have it as well. I would call it clouding not bleed though. It's not a bright light leak on the edges of the screen. It's light clouding through out the screen on black when it's black.
Well I have it too. The glass of the screen have little gap between frame on the left side.
Got it on both sides, but not bothered as I haven't noticed it until just now. It's only visible when viewing the device from the back/sides at angles damn near approaching 90°. Not sure about the rest of you, but I don't view my screen from such angles, so for me it's a non-issue. I think it actually looks kinda cool when you look at it when scrolling through a vertical app drawer... feel like I'm in a Mass Effect elevator or something.

The term clouding got me searching and i found this
The second reply is very informative just in general
It depends on how visible they are with normal vision. Your camera is significantly overexposing the problem (unless your pointer normally looks like the glaring sun, in which case you have bigger problems). The CFG70's I've had looked bad with the phone camera I had at the time I took the pictures. I don't trust camera shots to represent what the screen looks like in reality unless taken by a credible reviewer anymore. Also, you should use a solid black image without a super white pointer the screen is illuminating to give a more correct representation of the back light bleed; the three spots around the pointer look far worse than the rest of the screen, and that could be the fault of the pointer.
Very probably you have the brightness at max on standard response. These monitors are far brighter at max than many other monitors out there.
400+ cd/m^2 is very bright and most people who calibrate their displays turn them down to around 120 cd/m^2 to make them easier on the eyes. I don't agree with doing this on a media screen though as the brightness helps the image a lot in movies and games. Turn the brightness down to something reasonable and most of your problem will probably go away if that is an acceptable solution to you. Also strobing should reduce the brightness and the problem as well if you're willing to live with it on.
I feel for people who can't just return to the vendor. I would try to make it tolerable with some of the above efforts, and if that's the only problem you have with the screen, I'd probably keep it. If you can see the bleed with the naked eye without a camera while watching movies or playing games, I'd consider returning it, but understand that every CFG70 I've had looked similar when overexposed on a phone camera.

Camera pointed at a black screen IS going to over expose. That is normal. Photos must be adjusted so it looks as you see it

Well, good idea. Im gonna try if fail I will give it back for a warranty.

IF it doesn't fail IP68, put a case on it. Problem solved. You won't see the so-called light bleed.
You want case on this anyway to protect the glass back.
I recommend this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74857344&postcount=191
but the first post in that thread has links to very inexpensive cases that will work.
I bought about a dozen case, in all price ranges, and like the Tudia the best.
The gap won't be an issue for the water and dust rating. It looks like it is just the mask they put behind the glass didn't go all the way to the frame while the screen extends further than what should be visible.

Thanks mate! I bought tempered glass with black frames that arrives today.
The case I use on my old Oneplus X is IMAK Cowboy. I love the sandstone feel and good grip. Im gonna buy imak defenitly

What i wanted to say is there cannot be a gap if the v30 has an ip68 rating. No way for water to enter

Hah, most people look at the photo and go ZOMG!
adjusting exposure to match the way it appears is necessary provided whatever camera used allows for it
This can be quite tricky to do

Right. There's no real gap. It's just the black masking of the curved glass edge is not dark enough sometimes.
I always use a case on my phone, so I don't even bother standing in the dark trying to find alleged "light bleed". That's not how I use a phone (without a case), so no use trying to find an issue that has no real world substance for me.
(IF there is a gap, and it fails IP68, then of course return it under warranty.)

Hey folks.
I don't think it's a problem It's not actually a gap between glass and phone frame. It's not even actually a leak.
In fact glass has it's thickness, and edge of the glass pane is exposed over the frame. In this conditions glass starts to behave similarly to optic fiber. So part of the light emitted by the display is not let through the glass and starts to bounce between glass edges (inside the glass pane), to eventually become visible on the edge of the screen. If You look closely it's uniform thickness light, and visible in parts where on the edge of screen is something bright with bright color.
So be not afraid, nothing bad is happening here
