How bad is it? I guess you couldn't find a friend with a camera?
In all seriousness, why must every phone turn yellow? Why not blue.

i saw a white light on the bottom corner on my xoom;s screen. is it for notifications?
Depends on how you hold it. The notification light is a white (supposed to be tri-color) line next to the Verizon logo.

My light pulses White every 2 seconds or so when I get an IM on Gmail Talk. Edit: Only when the screens off, btw.

Here are the steps I took to learn this information:
1) Read the labels on the film taped across the front of the Xoom's screen as it came from the box, where it's pointing to NOTIFICATION LED
2) Read the user manual
3) Use my common knowledge and history of using mobile, connected devices to understand that a blinking light means something new has happened or arrived on the device.
4) Post a question on the forum
I think this is my first post, but I gladly use it to point out how newbish you are to have to ask this question on the internet.

Thanks for being a jerk. You may also want to make sure that you have notifications turned on whatever apps you're using.
Top light to the left of the camera
There's another light, just to the left of the front-facing camera. Does anybody know what it does?
The light to the camera's right glows when the camera's on. But the light to the left doesn't seem to do anything yet. (And it's not listed in the manuals nor on the plastic pull-off screen protector.)
Judging from the iFixIt take-apart photos, I'm guessing it will light up when the Xoom is running 4G.
Anybody else know more?

WOW thanks for your reply!
1. the label was taken off by the verizon employee when it was activated so i don't know that there was a sign that pointed to it.
2. the user manual did not specify where the notification light for apps are only for the charging light.
3. i know it is used to notify if something arrived but like i said it DOESN'T light when i get IMs even when the screen is off.
4. it is posted on the forum!
thanks, but i don't need your sarcastic answers.

I'm fairly sure what you are referring to is a light sensor, for automatic brightness adjustments.
I actually had sorta the opposite problem in that I had the notification light going for seemingly no reason. Checked all apps and no notifications on bottom bar. Reboot solved but made me wonder what was up.

If you can't see the notification light it most likely has to do with your screen brightness. I thought mine was broken when it was so faint, so i cranked up the brightness and sent myself a test e-mail. When the screen was off the notification light pulsed incredibly bright, i turned it down repeated the test, and the notification light was really faint. Hopefully they can change that to where it's always bright no matter what the brightness of your screen is set at.

I assumed the notification light is only when the screen is off. Why do you need it when the screen is on? You can see all notifications in the lower right.
Also, lets not forget the notification light on the BOTTOM center of the tablet in landscape.
It only comes on if the device is OFF... its a battery charge light. Its 2 or 3 colors that change depending on the charge level.

What I'm saying is that the brightness of the notification light when your screen is off depends on the brightness your Xoom is set to. If you have your screen at 100 percent when its off the notification light will be very bright. However I had my screen quite dim and when it was off ans I received a notification, the light was almost nonexistent. You can test it for yourself. Its something that is hopefully fixed so that the notification light brightness is independent of the brightness your Xoom is set to.

Oh, I am sorry I misunderstood. I tested it at lowest brightness setting and the notification light is just as bright as full brightness for me.

Hi, I have an annoying problem with my Focus. Basically the screen randomly take a yellow tinge and all the colors become bleached out. For example white pages, become slightly yellow color. The blue theme looks almost teal, and the keyboard which is dark grey become, light yellowish gray. It does it whether or not automatic brightness is activated. When it happens, the screen just looks like crap. Is that normal or should I get my phone exchanged?

That sounds like a deffective OLED. Certainly not normal.
Did it start all of a sudden? You could try a backup and hard reset. If after hard reset it still happens, then warranty... If not, restore from backup. If it still happens, you probably did a wrong hack... I hope you haven't been tinkering in the internals of the MFG app...

I ended up getting it exchanged at Best Buy, I also specifically asked for a rev1.3 instead of the 1.4 I initially got. So now my screen is perfect and I also have NoDo. Couldn't be any more happier than this.
Whenever I have a black background, I can see light coming from the top right corner (top being the volume and power button). I just got this tablet today and notced it when i opened up the gallery. It appears to be a part the backlight for the screen. Does anone else have a light bleed or should I return it for a new one?

A quick search will show over 100 replys to your question.
thank you.
My OnePlus 5 has a slight red tint on the bottom half of the screen which is especially noticeable on white background at high brightness.
What's weird is though when I watch a video on YouTube even for just 30 seconds or so the tint disappears.
It comes back after 5-10 seconds though like color settings get changed or something.
Does that mean if I use an app like kcal to calibrate the display and make the tint go away?
I only ask because I know next to nothing about rooting and I don't wanna screw anything up.
I think you turned night mode on then the screen gets an red tint.

No because it's a defective AMOLED issue I guess. I would have just returned it if I had noticed it before. Hopefully I can make it less annoying using kcal.
Hi, I moved from OG pixel to pixel 4 and noticed that screen has problem. On 100% on brightness when opening totally black picture screen is not totally turned off and when touching it screen greys out a bit. Is it bug or hardware issue?
Can anyone check it on own device?

I have noticed the following: When screen brightness is 50% or less and I touch the screen such as typing on keyboard, the screen flashes very slightly on every tap. It feels like the screen draws too much power and battery is low. I went to Verizon store to check display unit and it did the same thing. Maybe your issue is similar

I didn't contact Google because the store model had the same thing. I just tried to troubleshoot what could be causing it and seems that when I disable "smooth display" in settings>display and then tried to reproduce the issue by typing on the keyboard and the screen doesn't seem to flicker anymore.
Try to disable the setting on your phone and see. This might be a software issue then.
I found similar thread(you are probably on it too) on Google community site and replied to that thread: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/22331033?hl=en

You are right I disabled smooth display and it stopped flickering but there is one more thing when brightness is on 100% and opening totally black picture I can notice little lightning of the screen in corners it means that pixels are not going off like it should be on oled screens. Could you please check it also?
It could be checked only in the dark daytime it's not noticable

Alright, I found a black image with only a small moon in the middle. Did the test on 100% full brightness but don't see any pixels on the screen. Check my image(attached) and compare.

It is difficult to understand anything from the picture. Try some display test apps. Check to see if you have something installed such as 3rd party theme or an app that interferes with the display of your phone. Also if you can compare your phone with the one from the store.

If it is in the corner(s) then it is light bleed. The screen is good and it is just some screen backlight being seen through the frame. At least this is how I understand your situation from my previous experience.
