Help screen light question

[pinkelephants]

Hey everyone i just bought.my rezound on saturday So I'm new to the forums (its my first android powered device) & I just have a question about the phone, when the screen is on underneaththe HTC I can see the light from the screen seep out between the phone's case & the screen. Ill try.to put a picture up once its a bit confusing

yeah that's just some light leakage..every phone has it. there's 4 LED's that poewr the 4 red buttons at the bottom, so you'll see them on the screen if you tilt it. some phones only have two LED's, like the thunderbolt, so you only see two beams of light.

I had the light leak between the bottom of screen and frame, which is not normal. Im not talking about the leak between capacitve buttons and screen. I took it in and replaced it and the leak between the glass and frame is gone. I called HTC and they said it was not normal and they have had complaints. And the four lights you see when you tilt the phone is normal.

Engineers don't call em "Defects", they're called "enhancements"....That's an HTC "enhancement". This pic is from an old Thunderbolt post...

yeah, notice how the tbolt only has 2.


and i have light leak on the sides/bottom when my capacative lights are on.....but honestly, i don't see that as a cause to go and return it. that's the only problem i've had with the phone, so why should i exchange it over something small and stupid and then possibly get one that overheats, bootloops, and explodes? lol

If it explodes in your hands (get your mind out of the gutter sickos!) then that means free HTC upgrades for life right?

the first picture is of the "normal" lights, but the 2nd one is of the lights I'm wondering about, the light just seeps out

Yahoo on the second picture you have is what is what the OP talked about, and what I was talking about! below the glass. Between the glass. No tilting the freaking phone. I got mine replaced within the 14 day return period and its fixed. A lot of the Rezounds have that and I sent a picture of the light leak smile to HTC and they said it was a defect.

Is the light leak I'm seeing inside the "back" arrow? I barely see it, but it's enough for me to want to have it replaced. Looks like the paint is peeling somewhat and doesn't look top quality. Oh and is that "Saturday Night FEVER" playing on your phone? The Bee Gees? Really? YES I KNOW IT'S NOT, I JUST SAW "FEVER" AND FIGURED I'D GIVE YOU GRIEF ABOUT IT!

i have that exact light leak. even if HTC confirmed it, i'm out of my return period, and i'm NOT getting a refurbished phone. it doesn't bother me at all
