Just setup my phone and it appears that there maybe screen bleed on either side of the display. It's really noticeable, especially on the home screen either side of the Google search bar and also any icons on the outer edge of the display.
If you grab an icon and drag it up and down the side of the display, you can see a small line of light from the icon on the outer edge of the display where it joins the aluminium frame.
Me and my bro both got the same model and same colour (S9+ coral blue, uk) and it's the same on both.
Just wondering whether it maybe the releftion from the frame as it protrudes more than the S8+ I'm using now. Also the finish of the fame is a different colour and finish.
Anybody else noticed this at all?
Well seen as how no body has replied thought I'd show a video.

Cheers for the info. In the process of getting it swapped out now. Hopefully the next one won't be the same.
I'll be on the lookout when mine arrives. I agree that it does not look normal.
Not gonna lie. That's about the worse video to show a problem lol if it's an issue just return it. Bound to be some bad ones out there.

Clearly showed the issue for me. I've had that same issue with other Galaxy phones. My note 7 was really bad! It's more than a case of, "just a few bad ones" I'm sure there would be many more complaints of this issue if people knew what to look for.

It's easy to see what the issue is. So regardless of the video not being a cinema experience, it clearly demonstrates the problem with the light bleed.
Having a look around seems that the issue has been seen on S8, S8+ and the note 8. There are other videos of the issue on YouTube just not with the S9+
Crap, I have the same problem.
Edit:
I did some digging and found out that this is not an issue. This is only reflection.
I installed Check My Pixels 2 and noticed that the "light leak" was reflecting the same color from the app.

Nothing is wrong with the video and this issue is more than just a few bad ones. It's been on all their phones work curved screens. I don't understand why you are putting down the OP'S video and post over a real concern. More people need to be aware of it. I bet it's more widespread than you realize.

Most people just throw a case on and that'll block the screen bleed. So, there's your can't see it and will never notice it. Look at the pic I posted. That's acceptable for a $900 plus phone? You can be a so called funny guy all you want. I don't care any further to look at or respond to your ignorance.

AMOLED can't have light bleed. Light bleed is the backlight of an LED or LCD screen shinning through. Normally thru the sides or corners. What your seeing is the same thing you would see if you take any phone and tilt it to the same angle as the edge displays. Your seeing the glass and reflection in that glass at a different wave length I find it funny that your calling me ignorant while trying to argue an issue that the phone can't have. A simple Google could have saved you that trouble.

Hey Guys
Check out the recent Cnet prizefight between the Prime and the Ipad 2, what do you think of the reults? I love these prizefights, and this one was pretty good..actually a first for the Ipad 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdNS_VA5EfM
1) Lack of widescreen is an advantage...
2) "The OS we will be personal preference but we gave the win to iPad because we are dumb"
3) "Basically, the TFP has better camera/video/screen than the iPad but this round is a tie cause IDK why"
The iPad is a nice device but the points they bring up and compare are so dumb.
That b.s. Comparison..lol they gave ipa2 rounds where prime clearly outshined it. 4.4 to 4.5 my a+-..lol prime clearly won

exactly......
got to love that screen tear at 1:20
In "Value" they compare the 16GB version of the iPad 2 to the 32GB of the Prime, makes no sense.
They should compare apples to apples, the 32GB wifi of the Prime is $499 and the 32GB wifi of the iPad 2 is $619.
Yeah, I did not get how the Ipad 2 won when they mentioned that the prime had a better camera, multimedia etc...I believe that the Prime won this prizefight hands down...despite it's issues, I just love the smoothness, color display, speed and size of this tablet!
Also, most of the professional review sites that do these comparisons actually give the win to the Prime. Let's not forget, the original Ipad and the O.S. had its share of software issues also, but now its much better. This will be the same with ICS and Nvidia..once all the kinks are worked out, things will be MUCH better(GPS issues not counting)

What exactly happened with your device? Is it unusable at all right now? If you sent it in for RMA b4, send it back. If they can't get the issue right they will give you a new tablet. Just let them know how frustrated you are that you had to wait so long for first RMA only to get it back in worse condition. Plus there is a hardware fix/check the service centers will perform now to make sure your wifi antennae is connected properly or that the foil didn't shift. Needed supplies are being shipped to all service centers now.
Engadget also gave the Award to the Ipad even though the votes were so close.
I have both tablets and use the Prime 95% of the time. Notice that they did not even mention the front facing camera on the IPAD 2 that things is worthless (so is the rear facing one...lol).
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Ehm... yeah... 'Transformer has the better (and wide)screen for videos, can give the full web experience (with flash), no need to recode videos and plays just about anything you throw at it. The camera is a lot better as well. So... it's a tie!'
Nuff said, ipad and transformer both are excellent tablets (simply depending on the type of user) but the point above makes sure I can't take anything said seriously anymore.
Funny thing is, I was playing with an iPad 2 the other day, and I didn't find it more intuitive in the slightest. In fact, I found it kind of confusing, particularly the multitouch gestures. I think ICS catches up with iOS, and provides more functionality to boot.
This whole "iOS is more intuitive" meme has got to go. It's no longer true in any meaningful sense, I think.
yeah this comparison is a joke. I'm embarrassed for CNET over this.

I have both, and while ICS is the best iteration of android so far...one of the reasons people say iOS is more intuitive is that everything for the user is laid out on the home screen without having to dig into various menus that a non tech user might find confusing.

I sent it in for the wifi and bluetooth issue. To make a long story short they gave me a new one C10 and I have the same problem but worse. Also going to .14 made it freeze put .15 on today seems to have fixed freeze. I know this update was not for wifi and bluetooth, GPS. Anyway I told Asus I was still having the problems they said call in two weeks they have a fix I could RMA at that time. So I hope you see my frustrations thats why I got pissed at the moron that said troll when I posted. Just venting sorry
Ok so Ive been playing Draw something on my Prime with just my finger and i figured i would get better results with a stylus.
before buying one I borrowed a friends Targus stylus to try it out and to my surprise, my experience didn't change at all with the stylus.
i was really disappointed with how the stylus interacted with the Primes touch panel. so many times i tried to draw a curved line nice and tight wouldn't result in skips and breaks in the line as if i lifted the stylus from the panel but i didn't.
i went back to my buddy and had him open draw something on his iPad2 and we used the same stylus to draw on his touch panel and it was like night and day difference i couldn't believe it.
now before i start thinking that the Primes touch panel isn't as sensitive to stylus's as the ipad I need to ask a few questions.
first, do you think the targus stylus (has a rubber flexible rounded tip) is more streamlined for the iPad and that is why it didn't work the same on my Primes touch panel?
Or are the Primes touch panels just not as sensitive as the iPad in regards to interacting with stylus's?
I know a lot of people stylus's and if there was a sensitivity problem we would have heard or read about it by now so its possible I need to find a stylus that is designed specifically for the Primes touch panel?

I made quite a few post replies about this hehe. Here is some info about it:
Hand Writting test. I just copied someone elses post with my prime using the Touchscreen settings, settings in there if you wanna see them and try them.
I posted almost the same thing here too
hi, ive looked through ebay and ive found this screen repair service on ebay for 40 pound, they replace just the glass, they say aslong as your touch and lcd are fine then this will fix your cracked screen, has anyone used this service? he seems to have good feedbacks on the repair, would anyone else trust him and send there phone away? im a bit worried about sending my phone away lol but i really need it fixed and 150 pound for the screen lcd and digitizer is far to much.

Don't forget to do complete data wipe and remove sd card before you send off
Well obviously his feedback is good so thats always a good start.
My advice is to send it to him recorded delivery so then you can track it online and know when hes got it.
Also pay for tracked delivery to return the item back to you aswell.
Also as mentioned above make sure you do back everything up to a computer first and do a complete factory/data wipe aswell so all your personal stuff is safe.

thanks for the replies, think im going to go for it, i think i am going to install the avast app aswell so if he does start trying to steal my phone i will just lock it instantly and it will be useless to him, and track it through gps and inform the police haha he probably will not be long in returning it when i do that

This thread is simply to count the people who have the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 so the dev's will realize how popular (or unpopular) the device is. I've had the HAM 2 since it came out and have been waiting for rooting methods to come out, but I can't find ANY info on it.
I came from the OnePlus forums, and just recently made my account here so don't hate if I did something wrong, just let me know.
Got one as well....i really like this phone but i'm waiting for that kit kat hopefully
Had mine about 4 weeks now
You can have my HAM2, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!
I love this thing!
Mine 3 days old
Still on the first charge lol. My iPhone 5s has only -4hrs screen time, the HAM2 is a beast.
It is not all about processor as long as it has no lag one bit and not one app crashed on mine.
For $299 and get $30 T mobile unlimited all prepaid plan, I just wish I can cancel my grandfathered unlimited plan on at&t. Never turn my wifi ON and every month Minimum of 20gb data
I just don't know yet how to mirror my netflix on HAM2 to my chromecast?

Just go to the netflix app and there should be a chromecast icon at the top. I use it every night!

I mean mirror the entire phone display not just the netflix app, I have a lot of streaming video from the browser.

To mirror the entire phone display I'm pretty sure you need to have a separate adapter just for that.
The only way to cast a chrome tab (from a phone) is to enable a setting only available in KitKat. Just another reason to find a Root+ROM.
Please Devs!!!
Please Devs root this phone for us. It is awesome.

Agree!!! would love to see some development. How cool would Cyanogen be on this phabulous 6.1" screen! :good::good:
Hello all,
I think we may need a bounty to get root! We've already started thinking about it in the old P6/Mate 1 thread. Anyone else in?!
Yessir
I registered just to voice my support for this phone. And I use the case that came with my preorder though I do have the black back.
Another owner here. I absolutely love my ham2. I'd put something down on a bounty if that happened.
Got one
Another owner checking in. Love it and waiting for root eagerly

Root plz. I really miss screencasting.
I have had this phone since it launched in the US. I love it, but I wish that it could be rooted.
It could be rooted, it just seems that we need to pitch in for a bounty so that a developer could do it for us.
There doesn't seem to be any developers on our phone, and none of the existing root methods for any other phone exists.
Got one when released in the US.

Let us do the bounty already, for root after that rom will come for sure
Got a black one here!
It's extremely small but I'm sure could get worse. Thankfully Google support is wonderful and sending me a replacement....

I considered that... Had 2 other people look at it too. We all thought it was a crack. You'd have to see it in person. Either way crack or scratch it hasn't been dropped or knocked on anyway. Just wanted all newbies to Google store to know their customer service is top notch when it comes to support after the purchase.

Did you purchase Nexus protect? Just wandering if they are doing this out of warranty or because you bought the extended plan.
So tired of these claims. Maybe you got ghosts in your home?

why are you tired of these claims? the issues are real.
even the carrier i work for released a memo advising us of this and to do a swap .
if it wasn't real there would be no advisory..

I don't remember living in a world where glass has a problem with spontaneous combustion. Phones get cracked or scratched either during the shipping process, or due to user error. They just don't develop scratches by themselves.
It is possible there was a hairline fracture in the glass, and while using it, it may have spread to be more noticeable. However a phone that is in pristine condition when unboxing, stays in said condition until there is user neglect.
so was this a scratch or a crack?

Either you are a troll or just trying to bash the nexus brand or maybe telling the truth. But 99.9% of the time screens just don't "crack" or "shatter" for no reason, if that were the case, how come even the low budget phones don't crack or shatter out of nowhere? But it's just a coincidence this phone shatters?

Your carrier advised you that glass cracks by sitting on the table when nobody is around? If that is what you understood from the memo, I am surprised the carrier still hasn't fired you. Now take your non sense elsewhere.

It is a trend now. Some retards break their screen then start threads to find/convince other people then call the company and say hey I got other people with exact same issue, here cover my phone under warranty.

Apparently the cheap Chinese clones don't suffer from random breaking glass. Nor do the cheap no name phones. Weirdddd

With that attitude, you're only scaring away other people that might wanted to share their experience with defective units otherwise. I don't understand the need to bash.

Please post the memo.
I'm sure we'll get a 'My phone spontaneously bent' post before too long. On a serious note I wish the mods would create the following threads: 'My phone is defective' and 'I damaged my phone and I blame the manufacturer'.

im sure he didnt mean to say the phone breaks by itself..i think he meant that the screen will crack even with a slightest touch to the screen
people keep complaining of "cheap Chinese crap"... This isn't the case. You are misinformed and need to do some research if you believe this. Yes, it's made in China. With Gorilla Glass 4. I wasn't aware Gorilla Glass' strength changed depending on the country it was assembled in.

If that is indeed the case his phone must have been defective when it left the factory, this post would go in the 'My phone is defective' thread. I have touched my screen with various degrees of pressure and no cracks have appeared, my phone is not defective. Anyhow the long and short is we don't need a new post for every single issue, spontaneous or otherwise.

You should learn to read. the Carrier has put the advisory not me.
They have advised us that some nexus 6p owners have reported that the glass panel has cracked spontaneously.
- Points to Mention to the Customer
- we are aware that a small portion of Huawe Nexus 6p customers may be experiencing this issue
This is on Rogers in Canada
Now move along.. the issue is very real .

Bwahahahahahahaha..... Spontaneously bent. That is hilarious.
In total we've owned 10 smartphones over the last 6.5 years. Never has any glass cracked or shattered except one. Droid 2. Was less than a month old and in my wife's purchase. Something hit the screen and caused a tiny crack in the glass and lcd. Fought like hello get it fixed under manufacturer warranty as I hardly call that abuse but to no avail had to go through insurance.
Point is, these are sensitive expensive electronic devices. Even throwing into your pocket with keys in your pocket can cause some damage to it. It's not the manufacturer's fault. I honestly can't believe how people treat their devices. Some don't even realize what they do can damage it. (like my wife just keeping it in her purse.... With 10 different things that can bang into it.) unfortunately we as a society have higher expectations, but have lower expectations for our own actions.
I'm not saying anyone deliberately caused damage and is trying to milk the system (as some do)... But take a closer look at what you do with your device daily. You don't rub your keys against your TV do you? You don't toss your computer on the counter. Unless you can honestly say you have babies the device in cloth since cell minute 1....stuff happens.
