Light leak? A little..

Hi everyone so I've had my evo for about 2 weeks now I slightly see some light were some people have had real big issues should I be worried...i mean you really have to be looking for it..i didn't even know wheee thee light was coming through.also at the bottom of the screen if you tilt the phone I can see the light from the menu buttons is this normal?

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...

True Black

So, I stumbled across something really cool (quite) a few minutes ago: apparently our devices really can power a few pixels selectively. In my accidental confirmation of Samsung's claim, I was able to get one of NoLED's notification icons to show on the screen without lighting up the rest of the black area for literally a split second.
Here's how:
1. You will need the app "NoLED" in order to continue. In the NoLED settings, make sure you have the icon for sms activated as well as the proximity sensor. My sms icon is set to a lime green, but I doubt that will affect this "test."
2. Send yourself a text message either from your own phone or from some other sms capable device. If sending it to yourself from your own phone, quickly lock the device using the power button after pushing send.
3. Allow NoLED to start flashing around the icon for sms. Wait roughly 5 seconds for the proximity sensor to activate.
4. For steps 4 and 5, it would be wise to be in a completely dark room to be able to more easily tell the difference between the true black and the lit black. With the proximity sensor now active, place your finger over it. The screen should turn off.
5. Now, upon removing your finger pay close attention to the icon that will appear. The icon will show up a couple of milliseconds before the rest of the screen activates.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if needed to witness the true black.
This is proof that our SAMOLED screens can display true black.
I am not a developer so I have no idea how to act upon this find to, if possible, adjust settings in the our software to allow true black.
If you happen to know someone who is capable of modifying the kernels or ROMs for our devices to allow this behavior, then by all means have them follow the above steps to see the proof.
Though I hope this minor find can give someone the inspiration and/or start place needed to make these adjustments, I realize this is but a pebble in a world of boulders. Therefore, I remain skeptical and strongly advise others not to get your hopes up.
If anything, it is at least nice to see that Samsung wasn't just lying about the capabilities of SAMOLED screens, but also makes one wonder why they don't allow true black from the start.
Now, time to hit the hay.
Goodnight all.

It probably did at one point but since I changed kernels and boot animations trying to get rid of verizon crap that animation doesn't show up anymore, which sucks cause I actually liked that one.

When i power the device off in a dark room, at the end of the power off cycle I get a black screen that isn't black like the other black screens when the phone is on. It looks like it's glowing in the dark or some junk, and you can see a weird pattern like something smudged across the screen.
Is this the type of thing you're talking about? That our devices, when showing black, are actually working to show that black and not just "turning the pixel off" er whatever?

Yes, if I'm understanding you correctly that is what I'm talking about. That glowing, almost grey effect shouldn't need to occur in order to show black. I hope it is something that can be hacked, but I don't know.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

I guess this makes me lucky to have 1 pixel stuck on blue. I can easily see the screen turn off in almost any lighting condition.

Couldn't it be that what you're seeing is some kind of residual charge left at power off or some pixels that change states at slightly different rates? I've seen it too and it seems to be a different pattern every time. Also, some of the forums regarding screen burn have talked about samoled break-in so maybe that has an impact as well. Can't factor out power supply leakage either, I guess.

It is true all of those things could be probable, but in order to prove that the pixels aren't turning off you could disable the lock and screen dimming functions with an app and display a black image. Then in low light conditions you could easily see the blacks are actually a very dark shade of grey. If the pixels were turning off the image would over time obtain deeper blacks as the residual charge runs out.
I, and many others, suspect the phones are programmed to not turn off the pixels. Only question is, why? The only thing this type of test wouldn't be able to prove or disprove is power supply leakage.

That sucks to have a stuck pixel! Have you tried having the phone replaced? I don't know for sure but a stuck pixel might fall in the manufacturer defect category, so you might be able to have the phone swapped for free?

Or you can go and download Screen Test and get to the black screen part of the test. It is so hard to notice, but blacks are ever so slightly lighter than if you were to turn the screen off, but it is really hard to catch. Either way, they trump any LCD black levels. They even make my Panny plasma look bad

Didn't know about that app but I'm sure it would work just as you say. And by the way that would be much easier to notice if you were in complete darkness. I'm completely satisfied with these amazing screens, but it would be awesome if we could obtain true black.

I HAVE tested it in darkness. It is just such a small difference most people's eyes probably couldn't even pick up on it. Blacks are pretty black on this.

It's only one and it's on the side, it does work sometimes. I use noled and it seams to come on at the exact same time as the notifications. Cover the proc sensor and it turns off.

Have you tried jscreenfix from the market? It's free and alot of feedback suggests it can work on stuck pixels.

Calm down man, was just a suggestion lol. But that's interesting, considering mine is extremely noticible in darkness even with the brightness turned all the way down. I suppose each phone would behave differently in this respect though.

Well I guess that isn't too bad, hopefully it isn't a sign of things to come. Back when I had my Storm 1, I had a red stuck pixel. It wasn't too bad either until it started spreading a few months later. That's okay though, I was one of the lucky ones who got a Storm 2 as a replacement from Verizon. If you havent, you should definitely try that app mentioned above though.

Screen burn in.

Well...I got my first taste of screen burn in. You can slightly see "8pm" in the top right of the phone in portrait position.
What do?

The thing is I can only really see this during a grey-ish screen when one of my games is launching. I also notice that it isn't the same image each time, which leads me to wonder if it isn't less a permanent burn in and more of a temporary "ghosting" after effect.

Well I"l give it time to see if its "ghosting" or real burn in.
If its a real burnin, what aremy options?
Also, if it is just a ghost, that's a bad sign isn't it

And when I pull the keyboard out its rotated 90 degrees and is in the top left corner

Maybe it's cause the screen is so bright it burns into your retinas.
If you stare at the screen for 30 seconds then stare at a black wall in your house and watch 8:00pm show up

Actually, it isn't "technically" burn in, but it sorta is (mine does it too). I'll explain.
First, grab "Screen Test" from the market. It cycles through full screen black, white, red, green, and blue (I do video AV work) On white (2nd after black) you will see the clock and am/pm if you're like me and cycle all day through 3 batteries. I use alarm clock plus but it has a screensaver at night, so that's no issue.
You will ALSO notice going through the colors that red and green are fine, blue is burned OUT (not in). See the wikipedia article for the explanation, but basically blue wears out first because of the organic compound it's based on. This is why they don't have amoled tv's yet (that and size). Honestly, I dont't think it'll ever get terrible before I'm ready to upgrade, although as a video engineer I certainly see it every time now that I'm aware of it. But really, I still like it better than lcd. And let's be honest, most people that are on here that are smart enough to notice probably are too gadget-addicted to keep the device long enough for it to be anything more than a "Hey, is that a clock I can barely see in that corner that just happens to be all white right now?"
What IS funny (and really cool I think) is the fix, is gingerbread ;P no, seriously, hear me out, the clock is green isn't it? Green lasts much longer than blue, (red lasts longer than green, but who wants a red clock?) So you wouldn't be using the blue subpixels at all. Of course that won't REVERSE the damage but it will slow/stop it from continuing.
(And yes, I do realize simple theming would also accomplish this )

Odd 3D Effect

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.

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.

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.

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

Try using this background turn off the lights and see if you can spot the splotches.

Here's how to test:
1) Download Display Tester, Go to Colors, then Dead Pixel.
2) Swipe the screen to the black color Page.
3) Go into a dark closet and look for anything weird on the screen.
I'm pretty sure that everyone who posted here will not have a perfect screen.

I have a couple but never notice them unless the screen is super dark...not too worried unless I notice them under normal conditions.

Here's an idea; if you have to test for something under extremely particular circumstances and don't notice it otherwise maybe you shouldn't go looking for a reason to make yourself unhappy.
Just a thought.
If you stand on a chair holding the phone at 37 degree angle while watching a specific Nickelback video and get a weird tint...don't do it?

Personally unless if actually seen it during my normal usage I'd never go looking for some flaw that I'd then always know was there.
That was what I was getting at, just to clarify.
