[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] aergern:
Nope. Not every unit. I've examined mine and I have no light bleed or dead pixels at all. In fact I can't find any outward flaws at all.

Just used 3 different "pixel testers". I see none. I'm kinda hoping this phone stays as good as it is until I choose to move on.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
I believe you but trust me when I say you are very lucky. I am on my third Amazon replacement and it too has a dead pixel like the two before them.

It's minimally small and very close to the bottom right corner but it's there.

I even ordered two solar reds from HTC themselves and sent them back as they both had 3 dead pixels each on screen.

I don't mind the light bleed, a fellow XDAer is helping me fight my OCD but I worry that if I start accepting dead pixels as well I will really be compromising my buyer values and cross from the side of caring too much to the side of not caring at all which is equally bad.

Display QC

Hi guys. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm VERY disappointed with the quality control from HTC. My first U11 had three vertical bands in the middle of the display that was visible on light colored backgrounds. My second one has no screen problems whatsoever. I was super excited and thought I had a perfect phone. I charged up my phone and in the morning I put it in my pocket the way I always do to go downstairs. When I took the phone out of my pocket to get in my car, the phone had rebooted. It kept doing this throughout the day each time I would put it in my pocket and sit down. Then all of a sudden, the phone was stuck in a boot loop. I did a factory data reset from the recovery and it still wouldn't boot. Finally I removed the clear Spigen case (bought separately), and it booted up normally! I tested the phone without the case and no reboots when in my pocket. I decided to get another replacement and not risk being stuck with a phone that may have a hardware problem. Unfortunately the 3rd phone has a crappy display. The backlight is not uniform at all, and I can see shadows when viewing a light background (which is pretty much whenever I'm using the browser). Call me crazy but I decided to go back to the second phone and test it for a week with the same Spigen case that did not cause any reboots with the other phones. If it reboots I will sadly return them all. I absolutely love the phone, but 3 strikes and I'm out. Do you guys think there is a chance the 2nd phone with the reboot problem might be fine???
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Doughnut:
That doesn't sound right. I've had a spigen rugged armour on both my u11s and no reboot issues.

First was returned because oleophobic coating wasnt applied properly...

I think you should return them all, and get one that works. It's a probability game, your specific location in the world may have just got a bad batch. Personally the three units ive tested all have light bleed. Such is life, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CXTKRS1:
I do believe I have some sort of defect in my screen as well. On mine you see a short (2-3mm usually) fuzzy shadow that is barely noticeable at the bottom border against the bezel. I downloaded a dead pixel testing application which makes the entire screen light up one single color at a time. This fuzzy shadow changes in height depending on the color. Grey and olive green being the worst causing this faint shadow to grow to almost a full inch.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Also - because I could very well be someone spreading rumors (but I am not),

for anyone in the London area:

Visit carphone warehouse in Canary wharf, check the unit. Two dead pixels.

Visit Lewisham O2. Check the unit. Two dead pixels.

So far, it's been a few units from amazon, and 2 from HTC UK. All dead pixels.

I am meeting people who say they have none, and I realize ebay is the safest bet to purchase from - from someone who knows how to look.

I don't and won't doubt people who say their device has no dead pixels whatsoever. I am just doing the math and saying that they are the exception rather than the rule.

I am very curious as to how no reviewer mentioned this either - once more, good thing XDA is here and people speak with honesty :)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
Be careful. I bought my Asian edition from a Hong Kong store in eBay and it has an small defective pixel towards the bottom of the screen. I can't say it's dead because it changes according to the color being displayed but it's faulty as it's different from the rest. I'm also affected by the coating issue.

As the phone was bought in Hong Kong and I'm live in Chile it's very expensive to return the device to store in order to being repaired so the store gave me a 10% discount from the total price as a compensation to accept the defective pixel. Good as the store is not responsible for this defect. Regarding the coating issue I bought a Japanese oleophobic liquid to apply to the glass. This item hasn't arrived yet.

I almost learned to live with the pixel (I have OCD) and I keep phones one year so it's not terrible. The store also offered me the option in the future to fully inspect the phone before shipping so the next year if I buy HTC U12 from the same store I'll ask the person to fully test the device at least one week before sending it to me. I prefer a tested phone that a sealed one with flaws like mine.

What I'm 100% sure is that at least the battery from this unit is not defective. I'm a power user and the battery life is excellent. Better than the S8+ and much better than HTC 10 and iPhone 7 Plus.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Something is -very- off with the U11.

I went for my last try today in an O2 store. I got a Silver, including the return policy.

We opened it there and then with the store advisor. We both went through it meticulously. No dead pixels. None.

So I took it home. Glad, I'd say. I started installing stuff, then pop. Dark dot in the middle of the screen.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the pressure sensitive/squeeze function that makes a dead pixel appear.

By now I've tried silvers, blacks, reds, and they all had it. Some out of the box, some a day or two later. The reds came from HTC poland, the other ones from UK.

I am 200% convinced that 90% of the units will suffer from this, as I have had a test base of about 12 units by now.

I love the phone, love it. I even don't mind the bleed on the lower edge, but the dead pixels is where I have to draw my line. I think I'll wait for the Pixel 2 at this point and hope it's not butt ugly.

I'd have even gone for the Sony XZ premium but the terrible night shot quality puts me off.

Very average year for android !

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I don't know what's going on but between me, my momma, my sister and my niece we have owned 15 HTC phones since the HTC One S and never had any kind of quality issue or defect. The only issue on all of them was with one device, an HTC One M9, the battery did not last a full year. Had to send it back for manufacturer warranty replacement.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
Hi guys. So far the 2nd phone that had the reboot issue seems to be just fine. I set it up as a new phone this time without restoring anything. It has a perfect display. My other two devices had no dead pixels either, but I had minor display defects as mentioned above. I guess 1 out of 3 having a good display is good odds huh? Maybe they have made cuts to quality control or manufacturing? I absolutely love this phone coming from a S8+, but I'm VERY disappointed in what I had to go through to get a good phone (knock on wood). As a result I have stopped recommending this phone to friends and family which is sad. Good luck to you guys, but honestly if you have problems getting a good display, then the company doesn't deserve your business.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] 3lMghraby:
hey I have the 6gb 128 version it is manufactured in july

I have little light bleed on the bottom of the screen but it is really minimal and also it only appears with a specific angle so no need really to even think about considering how beautiful the screen is

also life is very expensive that you would make yourself sad or feeling bad because of such small thing for me I can accept very minimal light bleed but I can't accept a big tint issue or a pressure area specially with a new phone

anyway as I told you it does not require so much thinking about it OCD I figured out I have it too but I rethink and I decided not to care about such small thing.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CXTKRS1:
Minor light bleed is now what HTC considers normal apparently. Looked into getting my phone replaced under warranty for light bleed and for the fact it keeps dropping its connection and they said no.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] x_d_n:
When did you buy it? Hopefully the light bleed has been addressed in newer builds.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] aergern:
I ordered mine on 07/11 and got it on 07/15. It's not suffered any of the complaints that I've read here. My only complaint .. which is seriously just a whine is that they released the 6GB/128GB version 2 weeks later. Other then that I have no complaints at all.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I'm on my second U11 and I don't see anything that looks like light bleed. Is there a pic to show what it even is?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CXTKRS1:
When my V10 gets back from LG I can try to take a picture other wise I will have nothing but potato image quality to deal with. I think some people really do not see it as light bleed or really as a defect. Kind of like the way if you get a bleed from an IPS panel on a laptop...most people just consider that normal.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] continua.mente:
HTC or Amazon recognize the light bleed as a defect that justifies the replacement or return with refund?

Hey ever body I'm not sure if anyone else is having the problems I'm having with Facebook messenger but I've tried clearing the cache memory, uninstalling re-installing and nothing helps I actually have the same problem with my PC . When I go to send a message it has taken as much as an hour to send sometimes it doesn't send at all and I've googled my butt off to no avail.

I have no issues with FB messenger on my T-Mobile S8+, when I send one I get a response within minutes if not sooner. I'm wondering if you have another app on your phone that is causing issues with FB messenger app, not sure what it might be though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ser0mancerXXIV:
Try these

1st

Settings: Applications: 3 Dots in right corner: Special Access: Optimize Battery Usage: Change view to all apps: Then turn off anything Facebook related.

2nd

Remove accounts and re-sign in

3rd

Verify Sync is enabled and data isn't restricted for those apps

4th

Make sure data saver isn't enabled within Facebook or Messenger app settings

There could be a ton of reasons for this though. If non of the above resolves then most likely it's either carrier data/service related or FB servers. If none of this resolves and it continues much longer I'd suggest opening a support ticket with Facebook as they could get a better idea of what is causing the delay.

O and having multiple active locations signed in can cause you to miss out on notifications and even have delays in sending/receiving messages.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] white00gt:
I closed out every app I've installed and the problem is still there
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] peekie:
i use both facebook lite and messenger lite both work perfectly on the s8+ , not as pretty but saving on facebook alone 200mb is great
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ser0mancerXXIV:
Closing apps isn't a problem nor would cache/data. It would be settings related, account related, or some mixture of both.

FB says to first try removing accounts, wipe data/cache, remove apps (FB & Messenger), then start over. The article was done back in KitKat days but that is the best way to start in narrowing down the "why" aspect.

The article that follows that points to VPN and ad blocking as a potential culprit but I would think that's unlikely in your case.

FB services app including update manager came preinstalled on S7/S7 Edge in which I once had your same issue for a week but using package disabler I wiped those, uninstalled app (FB & Messenger), rebooted, followed by installing again. Fixed the issue and until now hadn't thought of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] white00gt:
Tried everything couldn't uninstall Facebook, Facebook manager or messenger, I even used the app you suggested it couldn't remove it so don't know where to go from here
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ser0mancerXXIV:
I used app to wipe data on them all and only uninstalled Facebook and Messenger the normal way. Have you changed the battery optimization settings like mentioned in my post a few back? Also account removal is an important step.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] white00gt:
I just couldn't get to remove my account cause when I go to remove it the normal way it just gives me the option to shut it off or to remove updates, thanks for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ser0mancerXXIV:
So you are unable to remove Facebook or Messenger accounts?

Settings:Cloud and accounts:Accounts:Facebook:3dot in top right corner:Remove.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Secceron:
Did you try the lite version of the messenger?

(white logo, playstore)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] white00gt:

I can install lumia camera on win 10 CU, and it works fine!

BUT on next start, there is a message that forcing me to use camera instead.

If lumia camera is newer message is fancier with cowboy in sunsent, and if lumia camera is older message is on white screen.

Reason for using lumia camera instead camera is because it work better on older hardware on win 10 (n925)

I read this article: 'Lumia Camera for the 1020 returns to the Store, integrates with Photos update'

And tried registry hack to fake N925 as RM-875 but with same efect.

Is there some way to monitor win registry on first start lumia camera?

My screen is buckling, and when I asked the Sprint Store people, they claim it's from charging too long.

I've never had a device do this, so I never thought about it, but they showed me several devices they have on display that are doing the same thing.

Sucks.

I want to get another phone, but I'm on contract until May 2018.

Only then can I get another phone with an installment plan from Sprint. Another way these companies screw us.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perooo1:
No one screwed you, you singed the contract on your own...

Why people still sign contracts for phones? I understand for business but I really don't think it's that much cheaper on the long run.

I'm sorry, I just had to get it out of my head
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcwups1:
What?

The contract I signed allowed for a new upgraded phone every two years.

Since this phone, the HTC 10, they changed it.

That's what I'm talking about.

Maybe whatever is talking in your head needs to be looked at.

Hi,

I saw many topics about this, but still haven't been able to fix it on my phone. The only app that seems to work with MMS (sending or receiving) that I've tried is Samsung Messages. I've tried Textra and Android Messages (google), neither work. I've been on and off trying to get them to work since I got the phone in April, to no avail or luck. I can't even get the MMS to work when I disable WiFi, so I'm not sure what is going on. My carrier is Verizon. I've also tried setting the MMS mode to Legacy (from the default of System), but that didn't help.

Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? One thing I haven't tried is uninstalling Samsung Messages (or disabling it via BK Disabler) as I'd prefer to not lose all my chat history. I'm not looking for other texting apps, would like to use Google's or Textra over Samsung's.

Thanks in advance!
