You know about this LED - I know...
This the top of the X1? I don't see any LED there.
Well... huh.
I never noticed before, but it does look like there's a little strip of black (possibly translucent) plastic at the "top" of the power button... I could see an LED being behind it. But how does one turn it on to see it? or is this an IR port?

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,
I replaced the my ELF's LCD, but I'm not getting any picture of it. I also put my broken one back, but nothing. Got some sound of it and blinking blue, orange and green LED's.
Did it brick up or something, or did I mess up something?
Didn't put in ribbon far enough. 2 white stripes go all the way in... fixed...
Hi all,
Has anyone seen the top side of the HTC HD2? I tried to see in the official website and also in youtube videos but think there are no notification lights like the HTC Touch HD. I find it very useful in the Touch HD, saving it from taking it out of the pocket and pouch.

Other than that, it's a nice device plus micro usb now read on BBC that they are going universal in mid 2010: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8323018.stm "The charger has a micro-USB port at the connecting end, using similar technology to digital cameras".
Mayb like the kaiser next to the earphone...
Like xmoo said, it is on the left of the earphone. I have seen two videos on YouTube where you can see a green LED which blinks.
edit:

edit2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBlAjD4ZKr8 - here it seems to glow red permanently
i'd guess the permanent red glowing would be due to the phone being on charge
Very nice, didn't notice that in the videos! =) Thanks!
As I don't possess a HTC HD...what are the notifications usually for (red, green, blinking,..)?

The EU forced the manufactures to agree on one universal connector by (I think) 2010 or sth. . I think that was about 1-2 years ago. So if microUSB is the universal one, than probably every device will have that in the near future.
Just saying that, because it seems like everyone is kinda (positively) surprised that all the new devices have microUSB now =)

Blinking green for missed event (SMS, mail, reminder)
Solid green when fully charged and connected to external power source
Blinking red for critical battery
Solid red for charging
Off for anything else (i.e. it doesn't indicate signal reception status in any way)

was true on the HD as the light was on top, but since the HD2 has the light on the front, you still have to take it out of the pouch to see the notification.

Some people are surprised plus it's been a while. But I think this is great, don't need to carry the charger if it's universal when travelling also for those who read the news will know it will be very good for the environment.

You are right, unfortunately we will still need to take it out of the pouch now. There is nothing on the top, I would of thought a lot of people found that useful in the Touch HD although the led was very small but still useful
This thread can be closed.
it wouldnt have helped if it was in the top, since the 3.5 output is at the bottom hence most people will have the top downwards

I do like the idea of having the output at the bottom which is what I wanted in first place (makes it harder for dust to get in when in pouch) but having the lights at the top should of remained because when you are listening to music you would have your headphones in and if there was a sms or call you would hear it in your ear piece.

he means you'd hear the notification sound for the txt/call through the headphones
yes, but how would that help if the light was on the top? ... I mean from the point of view that you're listening to music... but if not, then I understand... had to wake up a bit

It's a voluntary thing, which is why it's surprising - HTC loves ExtUSB.
Who cares about a dedicated notification light ?, the HD2 has illuminated buttons which could be programed to show notifications. Much more efficient.
That's nt red it's orange.
Orange on HTC means charging.
Red is low battery.
Hope just like the kaiser notification, we'll be able to edit the led colours as how we want them.
So, I guess I screwed with something on my phone, but my display now shows "color bleeding" mostly when i open the phone up in horizontal mode. Would this be a problem with the flex cable? if so, just replacing that cable should fix the problem right?
I am able to disassemble the whole phone no problem.
I am experiencing the exact same issue, its bloody annoying.
I'm fairly certain it is the ribbon, but I wouldn't know where to get a new one, so havn't tried swapping it yet.
Did try disassembling and cleaning it out a bit though, no luck

Could you post a picture of what you're talking about?
Sadly enough, I do not have a camera other than the one on my dz... a screenshot wouldn't do anything since it just looks fine.. but it's something with the physical hardware part. I'll see if I can borrow a friend's camera when it happens again, but essentially the red and blue colors look like it's splotched in different parts and sometimes it even "pulsates"
it doesn't do it in vertical mode, but in horizontal mode.. it appears instantly.
Thanks to someone in another post that led me to the amazon link for the ribbon cable.. the phone now has no color bleed. Woohoo!
For those who want the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005IMHAGW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It works great and looks exactly like the original.
I'm experiencing a slight color disfiguration. I traded my girlfriend my phone for a few days and when i got it back, the bottom half has a yellowish tint. Is the flex ribbon the reason why it's like this?
is it the same tint whether or not you're in vertical or horizontal (keyboard open) mode?
if so it might be your flex cable or it might be the actual screen itself.
Yeah, the yellow (and now with blue) tint is in both modes. lower half of both sides (vertical and horizontal)
wait, does the tint change on the screen? as in does the tint stay in the bottom half of the vertical screen and stays in the right half in horizontal? or does it shift so that it goes to the bottom half in horizontal? if it stays in the same physical space in both modes, then it might be the screen itself, but if it shifts.. it's most probably the flex cable.
yeah, it shifts. but now the blue and yellow lines is throughout the screen. initially, i thought it was a ROM thing, so i changed it to see it in a different rom.
sounds like a flex cable problem. I can't guarantee it since it's one of those "replace it and see if it works" deal.
Screen on my G2 was totally cracked up but the LED notification light still worked. Was red when I plugged in the charger. Was green when I turned on phone.
Got the screen replaced and now the LED notification light doesn't work. Charge the phone and no red light. Turn on the phone and no green light. Options for LED is turned on.
Is the notification led integrated into the screen? So I may have a faulty replacement screen?
Also read that maybe a factory reset may work but thats a last resort to check cuz I don't feel like setting phone all up again.
On a side note..do those screen repair stores you find in the mall usually use OEM or crap quality replacements? Je told me oem but i trust no one. Noticing as I press keys as i type I see parts of screen near finger get a little darker like if u press down on a LCD screen too hard. Other than that the screen is fine so far.

No its not.
Its a seperate part that attaches next to the selfie camera on the logic board.
Looks like the shop was in a hurry and forgot to connect the LED
As for the screen, I can say you have an aftermarket non OEM.
OEM they use LOCA or OCA to bond the Digitizer to the LCD.
By doing so, you have no weird darker/lighter effects when typing on it.
Just like the stock screen.
If you have those effects, I would recommend you have them replace the screen with one that's OEM and not an aftermarket.
My first screen repair story went like yours only I swapped it in myself.
Come to find out the seller sold me an aftermarket screen claiming it was OEM.
I had him refund me for it since I called him out on it quickly
Darn...hate confrontation so was hoping it was part of the screen so i can easily tell him to fix. Now he can just tell me it probably wasn't working due to dropping it but I know it was working. Could always fight the charge on my credit card if he's unwilling to do something about it.
As for aftermarket..i can tell him what you told me but he could jsut stick to his guns, lie and stay "its OEM" and probably nothing i can do about it.
Thanks for the info!
Using a light...it looks like there's nothing in there where the sensor/LED shoudl be..its like i can see to the back of the case.
EDIT: Opened up...the whole proximity part is missing!! I'm assuming the LED light is part of that since that's not working and its right next to it.
EDIT2: I guess the IR blaster is part of that too...lol
Thing that pisses me off now is that he didn't put in my factory stock part and will replace it with a possibly crappy aftermarket part.
I'm demanding some money back for this nonsense.
