I think its normal, mine does it. I watched unboxing and reviews of EVOs on YouTube and it was pointed on on them too. I have a rubber around mine so the light leak is covered. I can also see the light leds if I turn the phone and look down from the screen. Its an obvious design flaw, im surprised they let it go like that.
Normal.
I was about to go to sprint store for a exchange and also saw YouTube ones shown had same problems. I guess It's normal for HTC products...
Just hope dust going into it end up inside the lcd.
Doesn't bother me...
Yep I have some light leakage too on the bottom. It's normal...

Lol neither do I. It dosent bother me.
In the top right area of my screen (the speaker is behind it) there is a little grey dot on the screen. When I touch the speaker, it rainbows the screen almost like a pin or a screw is pushing against the back of the screen. Is anyone else having this?
Nope havnt seen it or heard of it

Ill try to get a picture of it before I exchange it. I got it tonight. Sold my iPad, and got a iPad 2 and omg, the bleeding LCD was horrible. I love my EVO and I am gonna make the jump to Android full time.
I was opening my phone up this afternoon, so I had my magnifier on so I could see (my eyes aren't quite what they used to be). I just happened to have a bible app with the red letters and blue Strong's concordance up, and when I looked at it through the magnifier, it had a 3D effect. The red was "higher" than the blue. I called my wife and mother in law over to make sure I wasn't imagining this, and they saw it too. When I took the phone out from under the magnifier, the 3D effect went away (obviously).
I played around with other colors, and it seems like the blues and greens are the furthest "back", and the reds, yellows, and oranges are furthest "forward". White seems to be somewhere in the middle.
I almost feel like bringing the magnifier around with me just too see the 3D stuff, but the glass and round fluorescent bulb together are about 10" in diameter, and a bit hard to stuff in my pocket.
Anyone else see this effect? Is this how the 3D phones work?
That's quite the strange effect, but nope, that's not how 3d phones work. As far as I know they use Parallax barrier technology. here's a quote:
"The LG Optimus 3D (and the Nintendo 3DS for that matter) uses the parallax barrier technology. Parallax might sound scary, but simply put it is the effect of seeing closer objects bigger and more distant ones – smaller. What matters most is the barrier however. It is just what you would imagine – a vertical slit plate on top of the traditional screen that blocks part of the image for each eye. The technology is somewhat limited to smaller screens, but yields good results without the geekines of wearing glasses" (www[dot]phonearena[dot]com/news/3D-How-does-it-work_id16950)
I see this all the time with my glasses. I think there is a slight prism effect where the angle of the different light frequencies (colors) is slightly changed by the lens. I also see it at night when there are bright blue or red neon signs.

I seen a 3d effect last night
Now it could b just my eyes cuz it was 4am and I was up since 7am that morning so I was veryyyyyyyyyyy tired
I was reading a thred on here not sure which one exactly but with black backround and white text the white looked extremely 3d to me like I could swear that I could actually touch it
I was in the dark and it was the only light to my eyes so it could b since the white txt were the only light I seen them popping out since I was tired and focusing on them lol
But I still do believe there is a few 3dness in the epic

It was quite an effect, the difference between the blue and the red was probably about 1/8 inch, and very obvious. I played around a little, and there is a definite difference between the blue & red. Looking at all my app icons was quite impressive.

I used to get that on my old Palm Treo. Probably the angle at which you're looking at the letters. Or it's God.

Does anyone else have a magnifying glass that they could see if it does the same thing? Mine is the one with the arm that can be moved around, round fluorescent tube with the glass in the middle.
BTW, my eyes are 20/15 and 20/10, so I actually see better than average, but when I want to see tiny stuff, that's when I get the magnifier out.
Dear god! What the heck you doing rolling around on a hoover round with magnifying glasses! Creepy ol man you!

I've been seeing that "3d" effect when wearing glasses, since CRT days. Must be the way clear ploycarb affects the light. In real life, I can also see slight red/blue edges, depending on the light.

I myself being 30 have seen something to that effect. I believe it has something to do with the way the led's are layed out on the amoled screen. If you ever have an average size multi color led you'll notice that depending on the color of the light coming from the led, it is not always centered, or in the same area for that matter. I believe the same effect happens with the amoled just at a much smaller aspect. I've also noticed it on a scrolling led banner. When red and blue are close to eachother, one looks higher than the other

Nobody said that they do.
I noticed a strange pattern of squares all over the screen..they are rather Invisible until you look at it under some light already certain angle. I tried my best to take a picture but it's hard to see if you're not looking from human eyes. Either way I don't know if this is part of the design or is it some type of weird defect. I attach some pictures check it out. Look near the light glare and you will see the little square patterns they are all over the screen I tried to capture it as well as I could.

Since this subforum is so dead, I figured I'd make some small talk...
Am I the only one who loves their notification LED? I was very disappointed to see the gray demo units at Best Buy actually have a pinstripe pattern under the glass that noticeably obscures/dulls the LED, and the pattern is even applied over the touchkeys, so they have a weird, wavy look to them. A foolish decision by Samsung, IMO.

Good to see you over here in the Note 4 area! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
I haven't actually seen the note 4 in person yet but i'll have my hands on one in a couple days. Are you talking about the same type of pattern under the glass of the note 2 and its touchkeys?
Yes that's the way it is on my Note 4 :/

I dont know if its design or corner cutting. I dont like it, it looks cheap. Even the notification light has it. Luckly its only these items.
I don't have mine yet so I don't know. But you're saying this dulls the notification light? maybe Samsung did this so people complain less about their notification light colors when their phone is charging/charged in the middle of the night in a dark room

Well if they did it for any reason on purpose it is stupid. I usually don't mind software related mishaps with LED because apps and kernel devs usually give us a ton of options to workaround it. But this is the way they designed the phone from a manufacturing standpoint. Blah.

Black one has the stripes but my wife's white one doesnt.
I like the pinstripe and keeps it from looking plain. I always turn off the bottom lights, i know the buttons are there, so that's not an issue.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
I like the pinstripe on the notification light. I like the dulling effect. I on the other hand hate the stripes on the lower buttons. It gives it an appearance that the lighted buttons are flawed or pixels are burnt out.

I don't like the dimmed LED. I use Light Flow, maybe my favorite program on Android. I rely on LED notifications almost every minute of every day. I'm missing the LED on the Nexus 5.
I don't have that problem on my white Sprint Note 4 at all. Not on the buttons or the notification light. I'm really glad because I saw that pinstriped look on the buttons on some YouTube videos and think it looks awful.

White spots on aluminum bezel
Anyone else have 4 white squares on their aluminum bezel on the top and bottom? There's 2 near the glass and 2 near the back on the top and bottom, no idea what they are or what they're for.

I don't like the pinstripes; period. Last three plus years, the plain black bezel matched to the dark super Amoled native screen gave the black Galaxy a certain distinction that other OEMs with LCD couldn't match with their lighter looking native screen. Not appreciating this look; not so bad under low light but that wasn't the reaction Samsung hoped for. Thumbs down; face Palm. Not liking either of the browsers included either. Why no auto fit? Samsung's response is that natively, auto-fit exists; reset your settings. Nope. Second response: you can manually adjust the screen with pinch to zoom/minimize. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with this phone and look forward to development in this forum.

stared at both black and white side by side at best buy the other day for a bit, the white one definitely has the pin stripe look to it, its just a lot less noticeable. The only would offer to let me pre-order a black device so..guess ill look forward to stripes whenever they come in...

This is my opinion on the 8 total white (possible 8x ir led) squares on the bezel.
http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/3/6098745/samsung-gear-vr-oculus-announcement-hands-on
It is for vr. To be used with a Xbox-one live camera for positional/tilt head movement in conjuction with a PC.
As soon as I saw these 8 squares I had a 99.9% confidence that note4 is vr ready! As I have been balls deep in oculus news!
The Exynos has 20-30% stronger gpu that never overheats, so it never throttles.
