First off, welcome to XDA
Secondly, do you mean the 3G Camera or earpiece or the light sensor?
Can you provide image of what you are describing?
Check out page 25 of manual
Thank you Spartan for you hospitality, no this sensor in the left side, it is not camera and light sensor! you can see it only in some angle, stright look will not show you this place. later i will try to highlight in pic.

No sensor, just your imagination, scratch or build defect.
I dont mention that it is sensor, but what is this? please see in the angle to your apparatus and you will see it, maybe something that producers did for future uses? just take a look!

I have check on my girlfriend's TouchHD and there is....... NOTHING!
There is nothing there. Your phone might have some kind of minor manufacturing flaw that makes you think there is something there. I have had my HD for a year and have never heard of anything being there. I looked at it from all angles, and compared it to the right side. My phone shows nothing. Both the left and the right side look the same.
Thank you all for your attempts, but I will tru to put pic of it (if camera will capture it), and maybe than you can explain me this place usebility. Will try to give a pix on monday!!!

I highly doubt there's anything. I've recently opened up my phone to replace the screen and had to mess around in there with the camera/speaker/light sensor and there was nothing else.
Please see attached photoes, can anybody explain this window dedication? Waiting for your replyes.
looks like a air bubble under the screen protector.
Oh common guys, it is not bubble, not scratch, please look on top of htc logo untill calldynamic, this thing placed between them. Mayby mine is special, super-assembled!!!
ok, i was doubtful but i checked anyway and couldnt see anything, then i saw your pics and thought id give it another try and nope, nada, then i figured id pull it to bits and have a gander and inside and still nothing.
Whilst this was slightly entertaining im affraid to say you have probably got a bubble under the first layer of screen.
That is the most likely explination, the chances you have a one off device that no one else has which has some mystical new sensor is so small you'd be better off putting your life savings and the money you made selling your house on the lottery in the hope you'll hit the big one!
Ok, if accept the version that it is bubble under first layer, can you explain why this bubble has so right geometric forms? The guy next to me has an IPhone, and even him thought that it is porximity sensor like his apple has. Strange and Mistyc!!!
I agree that the shape is very geometrical, and I can understand how it would make you think there is something special there. It is unique, but I still don't think it's related to any functions or features the phone has. Look at the letters "htc". You have a slight frame around each letter that is the same shade/color as the "window" you are referring to. My "htc" letters have no such frame around them. The black of the phone comes up directly to where the white letters start.
So, I think it's some kind of strange manufacturing effect.
I'll even attach the service manual for you to look at.
Download service manual here
To be truthfully honest I thought you were seeing things until you posted your 3 pics. Yes, it does look geometrical in shape, but I can assure you that this is not a sensor, button or anything else intended by HTC. As stated by others previously is looks like a flaw in some way, either on the device itself or caused by the skin protector. If you take your device to any retail shop and compare it with another HD this may ease your concerns and I'm sure the staff in the shop would also say as everyone else here has.
Absolutely agree with htc letter, before your post i don't even see this feat, well, i think i should agree with that this window has no any function. Besides i saw off. manual, no-nothing. OK, waiting for another variants of reply.

Well, first of all device was bought not in EU, second, in my country very hard to find even person who owns device, too much expensive for our market, i'm even not talking about shops to compare my apparatus with others. By the way, does anybody know, whether in this forum chats somebody from HTC. i would asked him directly.

Hi guys i got the nexus 7 delivered from staples last week. today I noticed the "screen flex issue" . Pinching together the screen and the back of the tablet causes it in one corner. I also happens if I slightly press on the screen. Just wanted to know if anyone else is facing it.

Screen Flex/ Ripples
Sorry for Bumping the Thread . But can some of you guys please check pressing the screen around the cornder and see if you notice any screen flex or ripples??
I am not sure whether i should return it. If is a very common issue ther no point in returning. right?
Please help.
Here's the deal. Way too many people are making an effort to search for "problems" with their tablets. It's almost to the point where it's pandemic. Every little thing is getting scrutinized. If you cleared the forum of complaints and questions about whether someone has a bad tablet this place would be a ghost town.
Use your own judgment. If the screen "issue" bothers you then return it.

My finances mom's does this in the bottom right corner. But its also only noticeable with high brightness on black/dark grey screen. Also if she moves her headphone plug around while in the n7 it makes ripples the exact size and length of the plug.

Hello everyone.
I have notice a problem with my nexus 4.
It's like it's a dent under the screen that's only visible when light is reflected on it. And it's only visible from the side.
I'm really confused because its not really affecting the screen when it's on and dosent seem to cause any problems.
I've found a video on YouTube were a guy filmed how nexus to show how it looks.
He has he's phone up side down sp you have to look at the top off his screen on the video. It's most visible at the end of the video.
Can you guys please look at the video and after at your phones and look if you have the same problem.

Even if you don't see it, please write and let me know.
Replacement
I don't see the problem, but I'd definitely call Google and explain what's going on. I bet they will send you a replacement.

Okay. But I live in Sweden so I can't really call Google. But I will try to go to the store where I bought the phone to get a new phone.
But the thing is that I do think that many people have this but haven't noticed it. I mean, it's really hard to see. But now that I know it's there. I see it all the time when the screen is off and when the light hits the screen.

I have this too, top left corner, you can only see it when the light hits it at a certain angle. The thing is the screen is unaffected by it so i'm tempted just to ignore it as the rest of the phone is perfect :good:
Okay. It seems like I'm not alone at least. You haven't noticed any trouble with the phone?
Hello,
I saw this video on YouTube which supposedly fixes the yellow band on the screen, but nobody shared it and since it seems a big problem here is the fix(I don't own a Oneplus one right now so I can't test).
The fix is putting the phone in a UV light for 5-10 minutes, this dries the glue inside the screen...
Go ahead and watch it![emoji1]

great video and quite entertaining to watch with his commentary. too many youtube phone related channels dont speak their mind, quite nice change.
-------
tl;dw... easiest way to resolve it
1) go to a nail salon and put the bottom portion of ur phone on the UV rays for 5-10 minutes and the yellow tint will go away
2) put your phone on the dashboard for several hours in direct sunlight
3) use the phone and it'll cure eventually.
id probably go with #1 #3 as people talked about #2 doesnt work because the windshield filters out UVB radiation

If you want to expose your phone to UV, this won't work. Nearly all automotive glass contains additives that absorb UV to prevent premature aging of interior plastics. I'm not sure about household glass, but I'd assume the same.

Do you have a source? Not doubting as much as I'd like to see the evidence for myself.
I thought I read somewhere here that the yellow is a cm11 'color adjustment' feature, and that if you install color OS the color isn't there at all?
Not calling fake, on either count, but I'm hearing conflicting information.

Actually, he received email from what he believed was OnePlus. He mentioned multiple times he could not prove it was legit. After talking with a legal team, they were not able to confirm the source of the message so he recanted the statement(s).
You could probably do something like #2 if you work in or have access to an older building. My employer's building's windows don't block UV rays, so if necessary I could place the phone on the sill on a warm, sunny day. A lot of schools and churches are probably the same way.

There are different kinds of yellow'ish screens. One is just the warm color which you can change somewhere in the settings AFAIK (I don't have the phone yet, but I believe I read that somewhere), and the other one is the issue with the glue where you have a yellow'ish band on the bottom of the phone.
The UV light is hit or miss for a lot of people on the 1+ forums and nobody really knows if using it for a prolonged period of time will cure the 'glue' (nobody can confirm this is a glue problem either). The problem is too inconsistent, if it really were glue most of the phones leaving the factory ASAP would have the same issue...

Can anyone comment on this topic? Reviews on sites seem to really knock the outdoor visibility with these watches so I just wanted some opinions from some real users. It seems reviews continue to knock these devices but a lot of individual reviews from users on sites seem to praise the device and people just seem real happy with them. What's your guys take on this? I'm going to be picking up the Gear Live but it seems both have this issue.
Also for any Gear users, feel free to chime in about the charging method. That seems to be talked about a lot as well but sometimes you never know with these official review sites. I value actual users opinions more.

All the reviews that state the watch face is hard to see outside are stupid. It's obviously hard to see when the screen is dimmed, but as soon as you tilt your wrist and the screen turn on you can see it perfectly even in the brightest sunlight.
Yeah I figured a lot of them over exaggerate that topic. I mean my phone is hard to see in direct sunlight. These types of screens will always be difficult.

If your phone is hard to see in sunlight that sucks, my S5 is perfectly bright and easy as hell to see. But my Gear Live definitely is not a problem what so ever in sunlight, I love it.

It's not bad, but of course it's not the same as if it was cloudy out. There is no phone where the visibility isn't slightly decreased in the direct sun. But we can still see the phone to use most importantly. But regardless, that is good to know about the gear live. I really want this watch. How do you feel about the charger port? Everyone keeps saying wait for the 360, but you know what, its August 1st and no announcement has been made. I'm tired of waiting and want to join in on the fun.
I honestly have no problem wit my S5 in direct bright as hell sunlight... But I love it personally. Got a messaging app for wear and now I barely use my phone for texting haha. Charging is painless IMO, I don't get the big deal people have with it.

I find performance in the rain to be more of an issue.
While trying to track my rides with Strava the rain often closes the app, swipes away cards and generally plays hell with the watch.
There are a couple of screen lock apps but then you can't actually unlock the screen with wet fingers.

How would a screen protector help? Water is simply highly conductive so that's why the watch goes all crazy. Only way to avoid it is to keep it dry or at least make sure there is no water connecting the touch screen with your skin

It was just a suggestion. Some screen protectors actually decrease the sensitivity of the screen. We Dont notice it really but maybe it would help prevent a couple rain drops from messing with the screen. Doesn't matter though lol. Not sure how in the future they can correct this besides your suggestions.

Theres a few phones that are actually designed for you to be able to use underwater. When they recognize water they change the input method from capacitive to pressure I doubt anyone is going to do that on the watch though. And about the screen protectors: If they lower the sensitivity you will run into problems when it's not raining xD

I thought about the G watch but absolute no best buy has that in stock. So sense they're basically the same watch, I'll just opt in for the cheaper one. Plus at night when my watch is displaying the time, I just want the time to light up. Don't like the idea that the whole screen still lights up. But I still want to try the G watch. Maybe they'll get them in at some point.

That sucks, my nearby Best Buys all have plenty in stock (last I looked a few days ago). Why not just order one from the website? The only real reason I went with the G Watch is because of the magnetic charger...much, much better than the Live's. I do wish it had an OLED display though. But this is just supposed to hold me over to the moto360, provided it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
