Hi
I just got a Sony X1 from O2 UK and in the top right hand coner of the screen, i see a slight ghost type thing, like its been pressed down or something, it only really show when in complete darkness and activate panels, the other coners do not have this, should i return or am i being to fussy?
please advise.
This is screen leakage
I have it on mine (Top right corner)
I don't think its anything to worry about.
Some people have it really bad, and ew others others don't have it at all.
i have it in both top corners..
but i only see it if i have something completely black on screen..

ok so i have a wizard and this is my 2nd one.. and my text message envelope and my IE icon have worn off yet again! now t-mobile is sending me a new wizard because i called and cried about this so it will be here on tuesday. how do i prevent these icons from "rubbing" off? im a picky person so when they start to wear off i have a heartattack! any help would be great! thx
Do not touch them.
I've heard from many people to apply a lite coat of clear nail polish. But I never got to trying it.
Interesting - my MDA Vario doesn't have this symptoms (I use those buttons a lot in one-handed Messagign / IEM mode). They must be using some kind of better paint?
Weird never had that problem.
Mine have all just about come off as have a friend of mine's MDA.
That is, is there difference between devices rebranded by different rebranders / carriers? I mean I use these two buttons on my MDA Vario a LOT (one-hand operation rules!) and the icons are like new.
I don't have that problem eather!
I hope this doesn't sound facetious, but if the fact the logos are half-destroyed and looking scruffy is what bothers you, then I recommend you simply scrape them off completely.
You don't particularly need them. I have my 'browser' button assigned to Opera anyway, so I don't want an IE logo there. And the T-mobile logo bothered me, so I scraped that off too. Lots of people have done this (see other threads) - just use the edge of a coin to 'push' the paint away with vertical strokes.
The reason its rubbing off on some devices, and not rubbing off on others because some have these icons painted, and others have it engraved. For example my I-Mate K-Jam has them engraved, so no matter how many times i use them, they won't wear off. Now on the T-Mobile MDA (US) they're painted on, so they will rub off.
My suggestion would be to get the front soft keys from a K-Jam(or other device that has them engraved) and swap it out with yours. That would void your warranty ofcourse.

ok the problem with scraping them off is they are painted on which will cause the blue tooth led and the signal led to shine through and it looks horrible so i will try the clear nail polish idea and on the MDA USA there is no t-zones icon its simply the mail icon and the IE icon which i like both.. im picky
Are the icons on a Cingular 8125 painted or engraved?
The Sale of Goods Act entitles you to a product free from any deficiencies on the finish. The paint falls off these things like no-mans-business. Technically, all UK customers (I dunno about American law) could demand to have the products recalled and to be refunded shortly before the Tytn comes out so that we have some cash to throw at it.
That is not to mention the stylus issue.

painted.
I haven't had ANY problems with mine coming off at all.
I would just suggest you don't go rubbing dirty/greasy fingers on your buttons and they'll be fine.
what happens in my case is the constant in and out of my pocket action causes the paint to slowly wear
I have my US MDA since March 2006 and the paint on mentioned buttons is half-worn. BUT, it looks like the symbols are engraved AND painted on top. Same thing happened to the small dash signs on the soft-keys - now they look even better than before! The paint was obstacle, and now since I have engraving only, they are semi-transparent and backlit with green and red button LEDs (since they are SEMI-transparent, there is no difference in color between left and right one).
Typical as typical can be, my k-jam which was registered on I-Mates site on 5th October 2005 (so out of warranty by 11 days! )
Basically the problem has been is that any pressure to the bottom left/right side of the screen causes the display to go mental. soon after this i've noticed the touch screen becoming less and less responsive, and am now at a point where to get touch screen to work i have to apply pressure to the bottom left area just under the screen. or open the slide out, which seems to apply some pressure which is apparently needed.
Is there anything i can do myself to sort this? any advice in general?
i'm awaiting to hear back from the UK service center, but i-mate have told me that it is entirely at the descretion of the service center wether they would do an out of warranty repair or not. nothing imate could/would do. which is hard to beleive and also dissapointing.
kinda wished i got a qtek now
bump anyone?
I had this and it was just a bit of grit stuck under the bezel stopping the screen from functioning properly and it was randomly selecting things.

Hi all, just recived my replacment handset ive ive just noticed at the bottom the suronding around the mini usb sticks out one side so its not flush with the rest of the phone, im sure on my other handset this wasnt there but not sure for deffenate.
Can anyone confirm this or is it just my phone
Thanks
Mine is the same - I think this is by design.
ok cheers mate, just cant remember it on the last handset

Yep, this is standard. The Use connector housing is square and does not follow the curve of the casing.

Something I have noticed is that on my brand new replacement handset (serial number beginning HT643, my original handset was an HT634) the silver bezel which runs along the right hand side of the screen is recessed slightly - nothing major, but when my original handset's metal strip was flush with the plastic casing, you really do notice it (particularly if you're holding the phone in your left hand). Oh well, only a minor issue really!

BUT maybe this is how they are solving the Screen alignment problem - DONT bend it. Only joking but you never know do you.
Mike
Not planning on it I did notice that JUST as I replaced my handset my screen alignment drifted out, which I corrected with a realignment (I had it replaced for another reason - people not being able to hear me after I'd gone through any call which involved entering numbers to an automated menu system, and then being on hold for a long time! for example... To the T-MOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICES PEOPLE! haha).
Very odd, hope it doesn't happen with this device. I won't go hacking the case to fix it though, I'm too lazy for that.

Thats one of the exact problems with my previous handset but mainly when on speaker phone
friends,
In my X1 screen right top corner a yellow light (some thing like we see in pic tube of monitor) is this a display complaint..when i make the background black that corner is not getting exact black..it is not visible in day light..
plsss help me... i bought the phone yesterday...am so much worried...
It's normal. Please search before posting next time. Thanks.
really is it normal..does all X1 has the same..?
Yes. It looks like you're pressed the area hard for long periods of time, right?
Yes Exactly like tat.. my friend, y is it kept like tat?
Thanks a lot.. am little relaxed by ur reply ..
i think it's called screen burns. regularity of pressing at the spot too often i reckon. but ey, its normal in all lcd screen. unless you'd want a crt screen for your xperia. but it is normal, don't wworry. mine aint yellow tho, mine is bright white lol
mine is not yellow, its actually bright white.
Pissed me off first time i saw it, but i got use to it now
Look here...
Check out these posts which all relate to exactly the same thing -actually not as obvious as you might think to search for, as its variously called screen burn, light leakage, even screen fade...

Hi guys, sorry if this has been posted, tried searching and couldn't find anything.
Anyways, I want to know something about the phones screen and I would like to conduct a little test.
Could you hold your phone in front if your face and turn the phone to your right (as you would if you wanted to show someone the screen full on who was sitting on your right) and look if the screen inherits a blue tint. Repeat this but to the left and see if the screen inherits a yellow tint.
It is seriously noticable on my device and I want to know if it is just me. Thank you.
P.S. I have had my phone for around a week and the bottom 1/3rd still has a slight yellow tinting. Any idea is this fades or is this just a dud LCD?

I have the same tinting effects when I angle the phone, it's noticable but it doesnt really bother me.
This has already been confirmed...mine does it too.
+1 another one here. It is a slight tint though nothing to worry about or notice, unless you are looking for the tint.
The viewing angles on this phone aren't the greatest if that's what you're getting at :/
