Light bleeding - Motorola Droid 3

Does anyone else have light bleeding on the edge of the bezel? Its only when the softkeys light up and its on the lower left hand side. Was just curious to see if im the only one. Its really noticeable at night.

Nothing on mine.

I noticed that early on a lot of folks confused the poorly-conceived background on the rosie for light leakage but I haven't heard a lot about it since then and I don't have what you're describing either.

Its definitely light shinning through the edge of the bezel. Cause if the lights for the softkeys turn off its not there anymore.

They all have light leakage from the bottom where the glass meets the bezel. The light is coming from the soft-keys. I have seen several D3's and they all have this issue to varying degrees.

have it here too. nothing too noticeable, but i did see it. really though, other than that (and the questionable battery cover), this thing is built just as solid as the D2, if not better.

Here too
I have a very minute amount of light leakage too, on my D3, at the bottom edge of the screen. I had the same issue, actually a lot more noticeable, on my Thunderbolt. This is a common issue with all phones that use capacitive menu buttons at the bottom. It varies in degrees, but is there on almost every piece I have seen at the local Verizon store.

Mine definitely does it; but to be completely honest, I think it looks kinda neat, so I've got no complaints.

The only way that I've read about involves actually opening up the phone and scraping off the grey paint on the buttons where the light shines through.

959

Anyway to go back to the 959? I'm on 890. I've noticed some differences in another d3 in the house running the 959. Id like to see if its the software version.

The main one I noticed is my screen has a really bad blue tint in comparison to the other.

Took the pic of mine with the 959 one so the camera blue tint may b making it look worse than it is. So I did it differently. U can see the difference. Mine is on the right. And sorry about that blank post..fudged the buttons haha

Silly question, have you checked brightness settings?

Yup. I actually sent my replacement back, and kept my original which has a very tight slider. The replacements screen was blurry, and dull. Moto needs more quality control on the screens. I cant believe the varying differences.
Yeah both on auto brightness. But the difference is huge no matter what. The other looks much better in all conditions..oh well.

The screens are very different. I've noticed 2 drastically different types. One is blue tinted, and you can't see the grid pattern, but it ghosts badly. There's a more accurate screen with yellow-ish whites and it ghosts far less, but you can see an odd grid pattern and lines on the screen. My first 3 had the blue tinted screen. My 4th one right now has a very nice screen-it ghosts far less and colors are more accurate. But, everything has a noticeable grid pattern over it.
Interesting thank you

This is true, I have one with a more noticeable grid but better coloration.

If you are looking at an extreme angle to the right side of the screen you may see a bright line. This is not light leakage. The light is not leaking out.

That's what I was talking about why I put sorta bc I wasn't for sure what to categorize it as lol

When I look at the top right corner at just the right angle there is a white dot. Any other angle and it disappears. Thought it could be a stuck pixel, but now I'm not sure.
First HTC One I got had a light leak in lower right corner. Turn phone to the side with screen on, and there was a small rectangularish light spot that shown through the glass edge. It was maybe a couple millimeters wide. Not a big deal.
Got a replacement phone (long story, involves a drop and insurance), and there's no light leak that I saw. Wish I had the old phone for proof.
Whatever the case, with the first phone I could live with it. Wasn't a big deal to me. There's some really minor build quality issues, like my replacement phone (which was a brand new phone, not a refurbish) has a hairline gap between the top metal and the white plastic. Again, nothing really bothersome. It's trivial, and certainly not wide enough to fit anything other than a really thin hair through. So you could take your chances for a replacement, or live with it.

Haptic feedback

What is that dreadful rattle noise that seems to come with the haptic feedback of every HTC phone? Sometimes the feedback seems fine then the weird rattle comes back. Had this phone one day btw. Dropped it once though.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Have had mine for a few days now and has only had one fall from a few inches off the ground so I know my issue isn't from damage.
The haptic feedback seems okay for the most part, but any other vibration is crazy loud/rattles. Even while holding in your hand and not just rattling on the desk or something. Seems to be a common problem.

Sounds like a QC issue. It should not be like that. Mine is silent when vibrating, unless on a table or something hard that resonates the sound.

Interesting. Yeah mine makes the sound only when sitting on a hard surface, or if my hand is in a certain spot on the phone. I hate that sound so much though.

I can say that the vibration sound is quite loud and annoying. And it is only when holding it certain ways. Straight up a s down it makes no noise. At a 45° angle it is quite loud as well as holding it flat.

It's the worst! It's like this with every HTC phone I've had. I just turn off all haptic on HTC phones because it annoys me so much.
Makes me second guess not going with the s4

The vibration issue makes me want to take this back and exchange it in store. The data issues and next to impossible streaming capability(have not yet been able to stream a YouTube video using mobile data) make me want to just take it in and exchange for the s4.
The over all build quality and believe it or not, the ui and software makes me want to keep the One.
Still have about 10 days left to make my decision.

I pretty much feel the same way. I have 12 days. If the build and UI wasn't so sexy I would have already.
As I'm typing the vibration is getting more ridiculous.

Should I exchange my phone?

I got my one from best buy, last night I noticed that when the screen is on, on the lower left side part of the screen is a little brighter, it's about half inch in diameter, it seems like the screen is being pressed, bc if I press the screen myself a little lower, it goes away and the same thing happens where im currently pressing. The is also a small bright dot right in the middle of the screen, which also is only noticesable with s black background.
And last thing, I don't know if this is normal, but the touch screen is not accurate at all

All of that is normal. They actually made it like this as a selling point.
Jk. Not normal. Take it back. I have none of those issues.

Lol, I'm just wondering if they will exchange it since it's barely noticible if it's bright outside, and only with a black background, like when a YouTube video is loading or the app drawer

Be prepared to demonstrate the defect and be firm that you want an exchange...

It's screen bleed! It is a defect and if your within your 14 days they can't say no. Just say you'll return it if they dont
