Note 9 Defects with Screen Edges - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi All,
I just received my Note 9 yesterday direct from Samsung as part of the Samsung Upgrade Program and have just noticed an issue on the edges of the screen (see attached pics).
I am assuming this is a defect with my device?

Did you install the new OTA as yet? Previous S device had this issue and they fixed it with an OTA.

It's not "defective" technically, I had the same issue with my s8+, and note 8, and have it on my note 9. And an update won't get rid of it.

Looks to me like light reflecting off the edges of the glass, as the light matches the nearest icon color. I've seen this on LG phones. I'd either get a replacement or put a case that blocks the reflection.

Hahaha [emoji23]? sorry couldn't help it , the light bleed strikes back.i was waiting for this
Joking aside,nothing wrong with it. Light reflects.

Update:
Spoken with Samsung Support and Samsung Shop and they have confirmed it to be a "Manufacturing Defect" after seeing the pics and are now arranging a collection on the 28th with a new device being delivered on the 7th Sept once they have more stock.

That's good news, but they also will be replacing a ton of them.

That's good I thought they would mess you about. But can they not collect and deliver on the 7th?

Update:
I have just received my brand new replacement and after first initial inspections, this device does not have the "Light Leak" defect.
Woot Woot!! Well done Samsung!!

**** me... Took of my cover. I also have this!

the battery cover does not include the NFC sensor, you will need to add one to it, to use the function.

back from china.
my supplier says the white cases, are not available yet in china, and will contact me when they arrive, I have ordered 35 pieces, also I did notice today that china in shenzhen, they just got delivery of over 100 black nexus s, all the shops were testing the units before they start to sell them, they were all wrapped in bubble wrap, and all are to be sold without boxes, the shipment was from europe or the us, without the boxes, they skip paying tax, that what i've been told.
So where to buy the cover 'cause at the ebay thing at the other post is postet that the list is ended so i cannot buy it i think, I'm right?

Stock OEM battery door

I''ve been looking for a replacement for the basic battery door and everything I've seen on eBay is like $30 for the OEM version, and I couldn't find any through Samsung directly.
Would love to hear any tips if people have found a source for plain old doors.

Ive seen some on ebay for 10 that claim to be oem. Can anyone give me a price range I can expect to pay for a real white back cover? I have the international version if that matters(i would prefer a cover without a carrier logo)

Bubbles under the touchscreen

Today, I saw this under the touchscreen. It looks like some dust or air bubbles, which are under the touch area, situated directly above the Tegra 3 CPU so can it have something to do with the heat, which come from the cpu? The phone is 1 month old (bought 21/3/2013). I'm sending the phone to reclamation (and want new piece), but I'm afraid that this can happen again.
Have anyone same problem?

i have the same issue, but only one bubble, and it was there the day i bought it. i was too lazy to wait for a replacer, so i just stuck with mine, since it's only visible if you're really looking for it.

I don't think they would have noticed if I had been a bit more careful. They use Philips head screws and no "VOID" stickers.
I actually kinda scratched the glass on the inside

ouch. is it very visible?
Wow thats sucks guys, if any has or is gonna send it in with an unlocked bootloader i wonder if they will fix it. If any of these manufacturers would honor their warranties for non-software related issues with unlocked bootloaders id stick with them regardless.
I have the same problem, I am do not have official support from LG in my country
Someone has a tutorial in order to clean/remove this bubbles?
I have this too and i think that help only dissasemble to clean this bubbles

Had these bubbles under my screen too. Got mine repaired, at a lg approved shop here in norway. My bootloader was already unlocked before i sent it in. It came back pre-rooted, and they changed the lcd if anyone wonders

I dont see the need for a Gear 2. A software update could fix most if not all of the current gears downfalls. The hardware is spot on.

They have to do something better with the battery life as well as charging the thing. They couldn't put a port in the watch itself to charge it?

Saw this today but I thought it wasn't as feature rich as our gear so I didn't play around with it as much. And I just grabbed the brochure. After reading it when I got back to the hotel, it's actually a pretty Damn good alternative to the gear. And it's water resistant. When I played with it I saw it had an option to reply to text and a keyboard came up. But I was in a rush. I will probably go back tomorrow and take some pictures and video. Also check out the pricing.

Anyone else backordered already?

I went to a TMO store on Saturday the sixth and placed my order for Blue Note 7. I haven't received any notices or tests from TMO and my online account stating that the shipping date is changed to the 18-19th. I called the service number and asked about the status of my order. Sadly I was told that I am backordered. Frustration doesn't describe my feelings.
I've purchase many phones from my local store so I went in today and told them about my conversation with service. There was no sympathy at all, just a cursory, "Yeah, lots of people are going to be backordered."
Has anyone else had this experience? If so, just state your order date and color. I am really disappointed. I suspect they just stopped fulfilling orders to have enough inventory for the stores. I am really ticked.
And the world spins

Back orders are like "take a number" tickets. Your getting in line for yours.
I'd rather get a backorder order than have to refresh a web page a million times...

They won't have any blue one in stores for at least a month just an FYI. I went to the store with my friend today because he wanted to get on the list and they told them his only options were black or silver or they could order him a blue one to be delivered as soon as they weren't on backorder anymore.
If they backordered me I would cancel the whole thing. The whole point of pre ordering is to get before or as soon as it comes out. I pre ordered mine Thursday. They said when my card is charged that means it has been shipped. My card was charged today. If I don't get this phone by Friday I will cancel the whole thing and stay with AT&T. Now if they would have told me that it will be after Fri I would have went somewhere else.

Direct from T-Force. This guy seemed on the ball. Mind you, my contact to them was for a different reason entirely but I asked about the backorder status I've been reading about.
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yea it seems like everyone wanted the blue version. When I ordered mines on the website, it pushed the date back depending on the color you selected for the pre-order. So yea, Im sure thats why it went straight to back ordered.

Yeah mine changes to shipped once it updated.
Even though I was told I was backordered I received the shipping notice late yesterday and my Blue Coral is going to be delivered today. The point is that the rep I initially spoke with was wrong and the amount of notice on shipping can be very short.
Oh cool. Yeah, that backorder notice would throw anyone off. I Ordered yesterday and should be receiving today. I didn't get the Coral, though.
