Does anyone here NOT have light leak?

[paddylaz]

I've been suffering the dust issue on 2 lumias now, and have noticed something. If you go to a darkish room/area and tilt the phone, you can see the light from the backlight coming through on the sides of the screen and also at the top and bottom by the capacitive buttons.

e.g. http://discussions.nokia.com/discus...ith_Windows_Phone/30650/1/2012-12-15-1679.jpg

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can go to a dark area, and see whether they all have this or not? Kinda worried me because made me think there's a manufacturing defect here and the screen isn't secured properly on the handset - which could maybe account for dust getting in? It might also explain the 'rattle' on vibrate that some are getting.

The three lumias I've seen all seem to have this to a certain extent (the light on the sides is usually much thinner and normally on either the right or the left - not both).

ANyone?

Funny enough, I had mine sent in for repairs due to scratches on the screen. After having the screen replaced I have NO light Issues and no more dust issues.

Seems during the initial build the screen is not fitted in or glued in properly ?

Oh christ....don't know what to do now. Could either wait until a new batch comes along without this issue or buy one now and send it off to Nokia. I'm rather depressed about the prospect of sending a brand new product away to be opened again

No leak here

No leak here

You GENUINELY have none? I.e. no thin strip of light running down the side(s), no light just above and to the right of the windows key? None above the search key? NONE?!

You must have been sent Elop's personal phone. I've looked at around 6...not that many admitedly, but all from different places so the maths of it all as coincidence is bleak.

Treasure it my friend.

no leaks here either... the only issue i have is the dust in the FFC.

No leaks (or dust) here either.

I really tried to find any kind of light leak, but found really nothing.

Must be a lucky one here. No light leak...or dust. (Whew)

 

[paddylaz]

OK cheers guys....well I guess either I'm having a psychotic episode or the unlocked batches ive looked at in the UK are defective.

Thanks anyways x

How would you define the light leak, eg, if I look at the screen on a very extreme angle, I can see through a minute gap at the bottom and see light from those buttons through it through the screen, but in normal circumstances it isnt noticeable at all. like the light isnt uneven or anything like that

Well it's like in the picture link that I put on the first page - Except as well as the top and bottom, there's also a small amount on the sides too that can be made to partly disappear if you push down hard on the screen there - I.e. the impression the glue holding the screen down is loose. It appears on all the ones I've seen, but I don't know, if you guys say you haven't seem it maybe I've just had extraordinary bad luck! It doesn't affect the screen when looking at it normally but it makes me worry for the future - loose things tend to become looser with time, and my theory is this, the dust and the vibrate rattle are interconnected.

I'm looking at my 920 and I think I see what you mean. On the top I see the light across almost the whole top but not at the sides or bottom. Is really a concern (I don't look at the phone at an extreme angle like that..)

Oh ok sorry, I didn't look at the pic. The vibration rattle (from what I've read) is just how it is because of the kind of vibrator (for lack of a better word I can think of) technology. Would have been good to have a nice clean vibration humm being a flagship phone...

Nothing seems to change for me when I compress the screen. Perhaps you really did just get a bit of a dodgy one?

 

[Droid-o-matic]

Me either. I just did it again to make certain I wasn't lying to you. I cannot see anything from any angle. Now I'm starting to feel a little guilty.

I'm on my second 920 because the first one had a problem with switching back to handset mode after unplugging a headphone jack, but neither of them have any light leak! Maybe it is a manufacturing defect because of rushed batches due to the supply problems?

NO light leak here either, but I have dust in the FFC.

 

[HTCalltheway]

No light leak, but there are dust under front camera and once in a while the proximity sensor activates all the time.
