SGS 2 Light leakage

---

Hi guys,

I have noticed some light leaking from the right side of the home button. It's a small light leak but was wondering if anyone has this issue .

I also have this issue, but I can only notice it in a dark room. Still a bit annoying though.

Can someone post a pic? Just to know what to look for.

I noticed as well earlier today. No biggie though, only a small annoyance.

??? There is no backlight in the phone, what is there to leak?

They are talking about the backlight on the back-button, which if you hold the phone in a certain angle in a dark room you can see some through a gap in the home-button.

It's not a "leak" , it's the phone itself.The parts under there fit such that there's a small hole in that spot and light seems to "leak" ( and it can only be seen if you angle the phone a certain way ) . Don't think it's a big deal.

I have it too....... but it'snot really annoying.......viewed only in certain angles in a dark room

Yes it is there and mine is a little worse than my dad's phone. I've dismantled my phone. The usb PCB lies on top of the button. Unfortunately the button is sandwiched in between the lcd panel and the middle frame. I've been trying to find a way to kill the light but haven't figure out how is the light leaking out. Usually on a blackberry's keyboard it is because of the paint on the button being scraped off a little but it probably isn't the case on the phone.

I noticed it on my phone one night too. It's barely noticeable and only if you look from a certain angle. Can't say i'm bothered by this.
