Yeah. Pretty common.

It is really easy to fix though and you can do it yourself. Unless you want to keep exchanging them and hoping you find one, this would be a better way.

Go to your local auto parts store and pick up this:

http://www.apmengineparts.com/82180.html?productid=82180&channelid=FROOG

Get the smallest one you can because you are only using a bit.

Take a toothpick and apply it to the bottom of the glass where it meets the plastic. Try to push it into the crack, if possible. Let it sit for a few seconds and then take a paper towel and wipe it off along the crack. DON'T get it into the usb port!

Let it dry for a few hours and you are good as gold. It also has the bonus of increasing water resistance and keeping dust out.

Mine didn't have that at all. I guess I got lucky. I do have a small spot almost dead center on the screen that looks like a bluish smudge though. You can only notice it on a white background. It's musky annoying but faint enough to live with.
[HTC Droid DNA] tnez:
Mine does, I hate too, at least I'm not the only one with it. Still debating if I should exchange it or not....

I have two spots on the botton too...never had this issue with LED screens. How likely is it not to have the light bleeds? If this is indeed a common problem for the DNA, I won't bother exchanging mine
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Common on Thunderbolt too. Never had Rezound to check.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
Hmm I guess it isn't something to be concerned about then.

I checked mine again right now in the office restroom with lights off and the phone screening an entirely black image; it does not have any light leakages at its full brightness, but there are two centered light spots triggered by the capacitive buttons that are only visible at the lowest brightness level.

Therefore presumably, turning off the capacitive button lights will eliminate the seemingly light leakages, as they do not seem to be defects caused by the LCD panel itself. But if such a leakage is glowed anywhere else but about the two centered areas just above the capacitive buttons, such as any corners or left/right/upper edges, then it would indeed be a sign of a defective unit.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I sealed mine to be safe.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Well in case nobody noticed when the lights are on and you are in a dark room and you tilt the top of the device away from you, when you get to a certain angle you can actually see the light from the buttons because of how the glass is curved. This will appear on every DNA because of the glass. so if you have light coming from BELOW the buttons make sure its not this that you are seeing.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zalatorisaurus:
I only have light bleeding through at a certain angle. I may pick up some of that stuff though.

Sent from my HTC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
In my case, its coming from the seam between the curved glass and the trim.
[HTC Droid DNA] tnez:
Mine too, I can see it from any angle. There's two spots where it bleeds, the gaps between the captive buttons

[HTC Droid DNA] dmbfan13:
Well, at least I'm not the only one. Might just try to ignore it...we'll see how that goes...
[HTC Droid DNA] tnez:
Yeah I'm still torn about what to do. Kinda want to relock/ruu and exhange but what if the new one has something different wrong with it. This one works great, the bleeding is just visual and only in a very dark room so might just do what adryn did and seal it with some gasket maker

Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I just sealed mine. Took 5 minutes tops, and only because I was being precise.

No more light bleed and increased resistance to dust and water.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
You think that's really what they're seeing? You can't physically stop that without changing the shape of the glass. i prefer the continuous curve over a slight refraction you can't ever see.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I'm certain (in my case) that its the glass and the trim.

Nothing a little black silicone doesn't fix. The shape of the glass is not the problem. The problem lies near the capcitive keys where the glass meets the glossy trim. They are two different pieces.

hi guys

how can i make a custom rom step by step from system dump please help me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
First step: Search in XDA

Second step: Read

Third and following steps: you can do it alone.

There are many, many threads in XDA related to questions like this.

If you do not want to learn a little bit by yourself, I think you shouldn't try, but wait for good Custom Roms - these will have many added features, fixes, mods that you'll never find if you wait for instructions.

I just did this with my dumps and started to build a Custom Rom - not for using it as everyday Rom, only for the learning fun.

For an everyday Rom I will use one of the coming High-End-Custom-Roms.

I just upgraded to the gakaxy s3 on at&t ans I noticed it has the UCLI5 build of TW on it. I searched and there really isn't much info on rooting it withi ut tripping tge flash counter. I saw one method that used cf-autoroot and triangle away, but every thingbI have read seems to point to the mrrobinson method, but there is no info about what to do if your phone came with UCLI5 stock/brand new. I would like to root/flash a custom recovery because I hate TW. I've never tinkered with a phone before so this is kinda new to me, byt I have rooted and flashed abunch of roms on my nexus 7, so hopefully its real similar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't want my data speeds or something messed up, because im getting around 40 mb down on my lte right now. If anyone else has UCLI5 and could help, then thanks.

Anyone heard if Supercurio will be releasing his amazing voodoo sound for the N4?

He usually likes Wolfson chipsets....

This would be a major buying decision for me as i use my phone for much of my music listening with my etymotic ear phones, although the 16gb max memory is a concern (more like 12 available after OS/apps).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desynch-:
Doubt it. It's not a matter of he likes Wolfson chips or not. The US version of the GS3 most likely will never see Voodoo Sound because of the Qualcomm DAC.

Even with my i9300, I'm likely not to see Voodoo Sound support in the near future. Dev support is chugging along because he has other projects he's working on.

But hey, I might be wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Thanks.

I guess were can always use timduru's KAT sound enhancer app.

I just ordered my Nexus 4 off ebay for 499...8gb model overnight shipping because I didnt want to wait weeks for google and lets be real here the Note 2 and the s3 are 6 to 700 dollar phones and the N4 could easily be that price too because its worth it based on its hardware and just being a bad ass phone!!!!!!....but here's my situation....I sold my Note 2 for 600...ordered Nexus 4 for 500...seller paid for overnight shipping and I still have a 100 to buy accessories...and dont have to wait weeks for shipping!!!!! lol I know google is cheaper but I feel like I came out on top in this deal.....Im very happy....Have any of you guy bought one off ebay yet bcuz you didnt want to wait????

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumthin:
For someone that lives in the US and had a decent phone [Note 2], it makes very little sense to me why you'd go to ebay for the Nexus 4.

Just wait a little dude, and you'd save yourself even more money.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
They reason I did the deal is because I make money buying and selling phones and also I have an Int s3 and a backup Note 2...I have alot of people here where Im from who wants the Nexus 4 and will pay top dollar...I usually buy every phone that comes out and maybe keep them for a month at the longest and resell for something else...its a hobby...I already got a sell for my nexus 4 for 650...bcuz like me people dont wanna wait 4 weeks or more for a phone...sorry if you guys dont understand I myself like to try out every phone instead of being on here saying this phone is better or that phone is better...I just try them all...maybe ill find a phone worth sticking with but I enjoy all of them...but once again its just something I like to do and its a hobby sorry if I offended some of you...just was stating a deal I got...

lol 8gb for 500? on cl and ebay i see them sell for 500 or less. i sold my 16gb for 520 on cl
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
So let me get this straight Note 2 sells for 700...S3 sells for 600...Iphone 5 sells for 800....do anyone get my drift...and the nexus is better than all of those...I bought one for 500 only to sell it for 650...so basically everyone thinks this phone isnt worth wat others are selling easy for...c'mon man....Im a hustla I made 150 profit can anyone blame me....damn...no dissrespect.... but if you had 500 to spend to make 650 in the same day why wouldnt you....and Ceejay I made a 100+ more than you on my 8gb Nexus...lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceejay83:
uhhh who would buy a 8gb for $650?!?! 16gb don't even sell for that much on ebay, so you're not making any sense

nooooooooooooo i sold it for 650....lol...I bought it for 500

hahahahaha +1....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aneftp:
I have never understood why eBay brings high prices. Some people just get in bidding process and feel urge to bid more.

Just all comes down to how bad someone wants the product .

And someone's phone might have broke,water damage etc and they cannot wait 4-5 weeks. They need a phone in 1-2 days.

So lots of factors why someone would pay $650 for a $400 phone ($350 plus 5-10% sales taxes plus $13 shipping).

And some people either are afraid of craigslist or just live in an area where there aren't a lot of craigslist sales.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
Minus your $60 ebay fee, minus $20 paypal fees, minus $10-15 in shipping to the winner of the auction, means you netted $555. Meanwhile the guy that sold it on CL for $520, netted $520 and didn't have to deal with running an auction, or shipping an item out. Seems like a lot of extra work for $35.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr8cture:
You are insane. You said you sold your Note 2 but you have a backup note 2? WTF!? Who has money to waste like this. I'd much rather wait for the phone and pay $350 than way over retail. Yes those other phones are high priced but that's what they set them for retail. The Nexus 4 is better but was set at much lower retail and I'm not willing to pay over retail. I don't have $600 to go waste on a phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
ok heres the deal....I sold my 1st note 2 on craiglist for 600....I have another one...why keep 2 of the same phones....I bought the nexus 4 on ebay for 500...profit 100 on that deal

next....I sold the nexus that i bought for 500 for 650...profit 150...

next....just got another one in off an even trade of craiglist...I traded an international s3....I know have both phones nexus 4 and note 2....+150 to buy accessories for the Nexus 4 guys....now do you all have an clear understading....

Im a business man and dont have time to wait on phones from google...money and time dont wait on no one neither will I...but once again this is what I do buy sell trade phones...

you guys bought your nexus to keep and hold...not me...I bought it because i wanted to try it out and sell it for the next big thing...like i said in my first post phones are a hobby for me....i get bored with the same phone after about a month...so thats why I buy sell and trade i love the new experience....hope u guys understand that everyone has something they like to do or something their good at....phones is just my thing man...just look at my previous device list thats only from a couple of months ago and I didnt list everything just got tired of typing like now lol...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike095:
If you're asking if we would have done the same, the majority of us would answer no. People are calling you crazy because you were willing to pay a huge premium; you don't necessarily have to agree with them if you're happy with your decision since it's your money and your phone at the end of the day.

You can do whatever you want with your money -- I just can't believe that you got a 8GB Nexus 4 for $500 (intending to keep it and buy accessories with the $100 "profit") to changing your mind and finding a buyer in your network (without phone in-hand) for $150 more, all within 20 minutes.

I think your business model and obsession with phones no matter the premium makes no sense, but to each his own.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
lol ok dude...i guess you dont understand bcuz you dont mess with phones like me...but why be so hostile about it...no matter wat you buy these days everything is overpriced...but guess wat you but it anyway....google sold you the phone wateva you bought it for...do you think they didnt make a huge profit...understand business man...no matter wat you buy its overpriced....hell even gas is over priced but I bet you buy it everyday dont you....so think about that and yea to each its own but at the end of everyday I make 3 to 400 dollars I didnt have yesterday....not being rude but stating truth....all this over a phone price....go to wal mart do you actually think you get a deal in there??? gas station??? anywhere??? no matter wat you buy its overpriced bcuz the actual manufacter is making a huge profit...understand business man...but last question for you folks who think you got an actual deal from google...how much profit do you think they made off you? I hope you dont think you got a good deal lol bcuz the rich just got richer when the nexus 4 came out...real ****...

Why are you getting so defensive?

He was merely stating his opinion but I don't sense any hostility from his post.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
not defensive...just stating a point...all im trying to say is at the end of the day i didnt want to wait on google...and I made 250 total in profits and still have nexus and note 2...

I understand where everyone is coming from...but i have a business buying and selling phones...I dont think you guys are looking at it from my point of view...yall bought it to keep it as a primary phone....i buy them to use for a while and sell or trade them off thats all...the only reason I bought the phone is because I knew I could profit from buying it....im sorry if I affended anyone....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
Right... so you bought an 8 gig N4 for 500 today... and you told us that you have 100 to spend on accessories... and shortly after, you're telling us you sold it for 650 when you haven't even received the phone.

Honestly, you don't make sense at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
The fact that the manufacterer is making a profit does not mean the item is overpriced.

They provide the service of making the device for us. It would be "overpriced" if everyone could make phones and the manufacterer sells them for way more than whatever an average person could make them for. But we can't so they do it for us, and they can sell it for however much they want. However, there is competition to sell for a cheap price, thanks to the no monopoly law, and so nothing can ever go too high.

And business is not buying overpriced (yes you bought it overpriced) phones and selling them for a higher price. That's just the ordinary system of investment and profit.

Don't tell someone they need to learn about business when you need a lesson or two yourself.

Also, I can't believe you said that we don't understand because we don't mess with phones like you. This is xda, there's a good chance the people you are addressing root, ROM, custom kernel, etc. with their phone, which actually lengthens the life of the phone and the constant "messing" is enough to keep the device fresh and never get too old (just look at the Nexus One). If you get bored so easily, it implies you don't do anything to change it, thus you sell it for another. Which means you don't "mess" with phones, you buy a crap load and sell them.

Most of us can't afford 3 top of the line phones at once, hence why we question your "hobby." It's impractical, barely any fun, and expensive. Despite the money that will come out, the initial investment of ($600 GS3 + $700 GN2 + $500 N4) $1800 for phones is ridiculous
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
No I just posted today and was simply stating wat I did to avoid waiting and wanted to know did anyone else buy from there...thats all Foxy...sigh...I didnt do all of this in one day...I got too many other phones to deal with than just these two....right now for some reason the one x+ has been selling good for me....its an ok phone but thats about it...but everyone around here seems to want one....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
I understand dude...its just that its alot of money to be made where I live with phones...its a very high demand in my area thats why I buy trade and sell them thats all....like I said before no bad intent is meant to anyone...Its just that I make alot of money on the side dealing with phones you guys...and once again I apologize if Im saying the the wrong way...but I mean no harm at all....I work overnights...and in the day time I do phones and make really nice money you guys...thats all im trying to say...I cant focus one phone because I buy it play with it for a while and resell it for more...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
It still doesn't make sense.

How did you not do all of this in one day ( according to your post ) when you clearly said you just bought the phone today? and on the same day ( in half an hour from your original post ), you told us you sold your phone for 650.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
Google isn't making any money on the phones, they loose about $100-$150 on each phone sold out of the play store to put android devices in as many hands as possible vs. Competing devices (iPhone, I'm looking at you). And I call BS on the fact that you flipped a used 8gb for $150 profit before it had even arrived from your eBay seller. Either you relisted it on eBay and are gonna have to pay ~$100 in fees or you didn't sell it for $650. Factory sealed 16gb units are only going for $500-550 on eBay. 16gb units that were purchased from Google on Tuesday are shipping out today, no ones gonna pay twice retail for a device they can have in 5-6 days, the demand just isn't there anymore.

Face it, you over paid for the 8gb version cos you were impatient and could have had the 16gb version in you hand next week, now you are trying to spin a story about flipping it at an unrealistic price when before you had planned to keep it.
