Sorry to repeat but awaiting an answer, when charging, the amber light comes on and stays solid, just above where the top of screen meets the metal frame there appears either a reflection of this amber light or if its not a reflection then a bit of light is seeping through the top of the phone which must mean its not sealed properly, can anyone identify with this? I have just bought this and am trying to ascertain if the top of the phone has a bit of this amber light coming through or is it just a reflection light bouncing off the metal frame? Anybody who has this would know what i mean, please assist?

When connected to Bluetooth, should there not be a blue light either on or flashing, on my Topaz, the left hand to the top speaker is the charging orange light but i thought the other side lit blue when bluetooth is activated apparently the other side is just a sensor and does not light up at all, IS THIS CORRECT? or does my phone have a fault? It is brand new and came loaded with 6.5, appreciate any help?

At the top of the phone you have what i thought were 2 lights, the left turning amber when charging and green when fully charged, when the phone is on normal standby i thought it flashed periodically, does it cos mine does not? secondly the other side which is a 'light sensor' but i thought this went blue when bluetooth was activated, again mine does not, my phone is Brand new with 6.5 preinstalled, is my phone faulty? i am sure on previous HTC models the right side was a 'blue light' so to clarify when my phone is in normal 'standby' there are NO lights, the only lights are on the left side which go amber when charging and solid green when fully charged and flashes green when there is a missed call or sms, the right side appears just to be a 'sensor' Is this all correct.
Any clarification will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
When charging, the amber light comes on and just above that where the top of the screen meets the metal frame there appears to be a leakage of light giving the impression the phone is not sealed properly or i cant work out if its a reflection of the amber lite hitting the metal frame, i pulled out the plug and had a close look under sunlight and i could not see any miniscule gap but it is a bit weird, just wondered if anyone else identifies, if not then there must be a tiny gap and the top of the phone cant be sealed properly, i have only had it 2 days and its BNIB.
Feedback appreciated
Thanks

@GD:
Although I fully agree with koen-ronse (I've read all your posts, I'm asking why you're staying here if all custom ROMs are rubbish?!), you'll get an answer from me to prevent a 5th post with same rubbish question (you could easily find out the answer by yourself which would have taken half a time than posting the same question again and again):
1. The one on the left is a light. It works, if you you can see it!!!
2. On the right is a light sensor. A sensor is a sensor, not a light!!!
3. BT and WiFi don't use light if active!!! Other HTC models do so, TD2 not.
Your TD2 is fine, everything works as wanted by HTC, have a nice day.
take the trouble to read my question
I will try one last time as it appears i am wasting my time, WHEN THE AMBER LIGHT IS ON (CHARGING) THERE IS A REFLECTION JUST ABOVE IT ON THE METAL FRAME GIVING THE IMPRESSION THE LIGHT IS LEAKING THROUGH AT THE TOP WHICH WILL BE ONE OF 2 THINGS, EITHER THERE IS A REFLECTION OR THE TOP OF THE PHONE IS NOT SEALED, NOW IF ANYONE SAYS' I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN' THAT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME TO REALISE THERE IS A FAULT BECAUSE IF IT WAS COMMON THEN ANOTHER OWNER WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
And it is necessairy to open 4 new threads for that???

There is nothing wrong with your device. It's the LED shining underneath the thin black black frame. You can also see it under the frame at the top of the screen. Blame it on poor design.
Thats exactly where the light is, under the frame at the top of the screen so it is it a reflection and not a tiny gap? Thank you at last, you are the first person who has had the decency to answer my question
On the HTC/Google manufacturing vid for the nexus one display it shows how the screen is comprised of the LCD, the touch detection surface, and the glass. Well... I've just noticed that I can see the touch layer thing, or at least, it looks like the one showed in the video.
If you are under florescent light and look directly at the phone at eye level, tilt it slightly upwards, about 5 degrees or so, and you (well I) can see white dots all over the screen, the dots seem to be visible where the grid/crosshatch lines intersect.
Just thought it was strange, you can see it with the phone on or off
that`s normal, everybody can see it.
yup, just noticed it today ^^; (I've had the phone for 2 weeks)
I noticed it a while ago but I think this is normal.
Seems normal. At first I thought the glittering dots were dust, then realized they were aligned in a perfect grid.
I thought it was pretty cool when I saw it.
I'm glad that the visibility is less than that of the HD2, when I had the HD2 I ALWAYS noticed it.

You can see the crosshatch too if you move the phone around in bright light while the screen is off.

Turn off the screen of the phone.
Now try looking at the screen (there must be a decent light) moving it a little bit in diagonal, if you look very close you will see the grid of the touchscreen.
I've never noticed it until today
It scared me when I opened my n1..but I quite like the diagonal lines. The nexus also has a beautiful purple hue to it.
I was so happy when I saw it! GO NEXUS!

It always is so strange to me when I see someone in person with a Nexus One. You can tell it is immediately but it just shocks you given how rare they are compared to other smartphones.
Hmm, not so sure...
I saw the same episode the other night and thought exactly the same as you. I went as far to rewind and freeze frame it.
It was then that I noticed a slight difference between my Nexus One and the one on the screen. The ear piece has two LED's (one either side). Then I realised it was the Desire as that has indicator lights there. The other reason is the headphone socket is on the other side to ours on the shot as it pans out.
well that kills the rarity then...as the desire is not as rare (no where near as rare) as the Nexus One.
My best friend is on US Cellular and dumped blackberry to go Android(at my prodding) He preferred the Desire over the Samsung Mesmerize(Galaxy S) because of the build quality. Hard to argue with him. He'll love this post.

It's not a Desire. I have one right beside me. Look at the picture - the Desire doesn't have that curvature at the top of the screen.
edit: and the Desire only has one LED as far as I'm aware...
Desire has one LED, same as the N1, possibly one of the sensors being picked up by the camera somehow?
The IR proximity sensor might be picked up as a LED by the camera and turned visible - many cameras "see" some of the IR spectrum, unlike human eyes.
Judging by the picture - it doesn't look like Desire, it can be only Nexus.

I have to agree that it isn't the Desire (just Google Imaged it) and the earpiece os totally different but there are definately two LED looking sections either side of the earpiece grill (ours doesnt have anything similar). The main difference is the headphone socket sits on the left on the unit (ours is on the right) as the guy is holding it, we see the underside of the phone.
What episode is that?
Re: the headphone jack, it could be mirrored?
Bravo for the Nexus actor skills
It was episode 7 (26:10 into it). I had thought that about it being mirrored (used loads in TV and film to suit a camera angle it seems) but in the same shot, the camera housing is square and it doesn't seem to have any LED flash by it either. Also, the volume rocker sits slightly raised from the phone (Nexus One almost flush) and looks lower down the left side of the phone. It could be two phones, one for the screen view and one for the looking up at the "phone in the hand" shot as it looks smaller in the guys hand on the long shot. Not really sure what the little bugger is really...
The sensor shows up as purple... Its a nexus... It just looks weird from the angle/lens just my two cents

Look closer on the both sides of the earpiece, when the phone is in direct strong light that will penetrate the screen tint. You'll see 2 "things" on the left side of the earpiece, and 1 "thing" on the right. The "thing" on the right you know - it's a charging LED, which is visible. The left one your eyes can't see - but cameras see it, as I pointed earlier, and it's a proximity sensor - blinking IR LED with IR receptor which measures reflected light.
If you look at matte (anti-glare) screen protectors, you'll see that some of them have a cut in top left corner - just where the proximity sensor resides.
So "ours doesn't have anything similar" is just untrue.

I've never even seen one in person other than mine!
The only time I've seen one was some lady had one that she got given at some google event, she didn't even know what root was!

I've been seeing N1s on that show too! Almost took a screenshot of one scene where the trackball glows white. Rewound and checked and thought that it could be a reflection of something shiny.
It always makes me chuckle when I see someone put a smartphone up to their ear and the screen stays on; you know they aren't really on a call.
We need a stupid name with this... I don't know if it's a gap or the glass is so thin that the light will leak through. To find out if this happens to you, Google "white" go to images and put your phone on full brightness and go in a dark room and you will probably see through sides of the phone growing lightly, I don't think it should be visible during normal daily use but I found this while in bed. I will have pictures soon I don't have any phones with usable roms at the moment.
yaa.. same here with gold s7 edge
There is no back light like ips displays. There for cannot have light leak. What your seeing is the side angle of the display because it bends. Test this by recreating the situation then turning the phone so the edge part of the display is facing you.

I gave my S7 edge back for warranty repair because the screen stopped working. They changed the screen and now my repaired unit has the same issue. I'm pretty sure the original one didn't. See the pictures. Do you guys think it's normal ?

It is normal. It's because of the curve of the glass, that's all.
Yep i see those too in my device, but i highly doubt people check their phone in that angle.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
As others have said I don't think it's a physical gap in the glass but more of a reflection of light against the edge of the glass. I wouldn't worry about it.
It's normal. Every S7 Edge will look like that. It's just physics.
I am 100% positive that it comes from under the glass and not a reflection of the edge.
I even put a black tape on the edge just to be sure.
Do all of your S7 Edge look like this ?
I have same thing pretty sure it is light bending off the glass and reflecting at an angle that it illuminate the outside edge

Hi Guys,
mine also does that after I replace my cracked screen.
Samsung has released a statement about this. Just google: Light leak Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and you will find it in the first one from Samsung website.
Hope this one help.
Cheers

I dont think it does this because of the curvature of the glass, because if you add pressure to the screen the "light leakage" sort of goes away.

lol, I've seen that. but I'm just saying, from my observation I noticed tiny spots along the line of light at the edges, possibly dust or air during production of the phone. If the light was caused simply because of the bend of the screen, wouldn't it be a perfectly straight line?
i dont know if your still going on about this but the top speaker also lights upcause of the light leak
I'm really just nitpicking at this point, and I wouldn't ever return my device over something so minor. But for example, when you are charging your device, with the red LED active, do you notice some red light bleed where the body meets aluminum chassis? Other bright notification LEDs also make it easy to see. This is primary noticeable in dark environments.
S7 edge black
Oh, I thought you said that the display LED was bleeding, which is impossible since the display doesn't have LEDs, but no, I haven't noticed any notification LED bleed (yet, on my gold version), but I'll keep an eye on it. Not the biggest issue though if it's there, since it's only there when charging.
What color phone? I don't sees that on my black one

I have the gold version, and it does that bit. But its no biggie to me
that is what you call a reflection bet you have the gold version to lol
It's actually the black one. It doesn't seem like reflection since it's between the gap of the glass and aluminum. It doesn't bother me, it's actually very tiny, but I just want to make sure I'm not the only one with it.
It's not something I actually noticed until it was completely dark in my room.

"Meh", nothing's perfect, and it's only when it's charging, so I wouldn't bother at all. Spend your energy on something else. It seems like it's rather normal
Well I mean it's more than charging, it's any notification. But right, I'm no worried. Just more or less curious if this was on every black s7 edge.
Found this discussion - http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/gap-edge-glass-metal-frame-t3348952/page2
It seems like it all might be related? However I can't physically see a big gap or stick paper between the openings.

Mine have problem too #S7EdgeGOLD. It seem Samsung QC are lazy to check (too many device with this gap).
I think it would be better to exchange your device as if the light bleeds the water resistance might be compromised. The glass should be glued to the metal body and the light from the notification LED shouldn't be able to pass through the glue if everything was alright. Well, this is my opinion though, it might not be an issue however have one in mind.

Did you replace it? Yeah i send my device back to Bhinneka(Indonesian Online Store); but they waiting until Samsung Indonesia give statement the device is broken. Waiting other people share video a Normal Version of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge(Without GAP).
Samsung Indonesia don't have brain to think, light shouldn't pass if they persistent glued between metal & glass. And about GLUE// for maybe 3-10 times put it on water maybe no problem. What about if we put more than that maybe GLUE will break too.
Really sad purchasing this phone in Indonesia.
Just checked mine, and I can't see any light bleed or gap(s) on mine (gold one).
Now I'm getting a little worried about the waterproofing. I'm at day 15 of my purchase so I'd probably have to fight if I want to return it. Wut woh :/
So my tech OCD is killing me. Decided I'm going to try another device. Ugh.
Someone please tell me I'm crazy for exchanging a device over something so minor.
Here is an example picture of what mine is like in low light. But my phone is black and not gold.

If have no problem with GAP please post pictures of TOP bezel when LED notification is ON. Capture using video is appreciated you're helping people to claim to Samsung.
My unit is only 1-2hours with me and send it back to seller. Dunno, will it replace or return with same device.

Yeah you can ignore it. Same as if your glass break but still work. We can ignore it or replace it. It depends dude, and for me for Rp. 9.799.000 or about $750 device should worth with perfect device. I'm using Redmi Note 3 cost me less than $150, Chinese smartphone but no problem with build.
First time flagship and facing problem like this. Dunno what kind of standard they put on QC test.
