Just got my Titan a day ago and i notice light leaking between the edge of the screen and the frame, just below the back, windows and search buttons. This is obviously visible when using the phone at dark places. I find it annoying, does your phone have this problem? Should i have it replaced? See attached photo... :confused:

This was already reported in another thread.

I don't see the issue though; it's not noticeable nor is it detrimental. The real problem is that you can't turn the lights off when watching a video; then the entire thing is distracting.

Capacitive buttons suck in general, except for the cool factor.

I still find it annoying. This is on top of one the Windows logo that's brighter than the rest. Hmmm what to do... :eek:

Mine doesn't leak under the edge of the screen, although it is brighter in the bottom half of the buttons, so clearly the lights are right at the bottom. If it's leaking under the screen edge, it would indicate that the screen is not quite seated correctly, so could be worth exchanging. That said, it won't affect the functionality of the phone so it depends if you find it annoying enough to send it back. Personally I think if you've just bought a brand new device at £400 odd then you want it to be spot on - on my first device, the little plastic surround around the micro usb port would come loose, and the headset speaker would buzz at high frequencies, so I returned it and the replacement has been spot on (touch wood). Over all, I would say the Titan is a very well made phone.

It's normal and already mentioned quite a few times. It would have been nicer to not have just the bottom right to be extremely bright but then the whiteness wouldn't have come out so well. It might have been dull. Hope Titan 2 has a smaller LED.

Just like others here I thought it was normal and didn't think nothing of it however due to a recent screen fault on my Titan, it was sent to HTC for repair now it's comeback fixed, they replaced the whole screen and not sure what they've done but the light leaking from between the edge of the screen and the frame is no longer there!:D

So I guess it's a case of quality control at manufacturing, you'll either get Titan with this issue or not!

Great to know that! I sent back my unit to ebay seller for replacement. I asked them to get me a new unit with no issue - in case all their stocks are the same, it is nice to know that it's repairable! :D
