Coming from a fellow nut job, you my friend beat me hands down.:eek:

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

All those hoops one goes through, then 12 months later or less upgraded. Lol

The only thing that upset me was the pink uneven tinge on the Samsung screens. All seems to be slightly better now with the note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Now I understood why my friend ( who works for Samsung ) said: don't buy first batch of Note9 because its has some small problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
The bottom line is.. If Samsung can't even get the glass flush with the frame with first or last batches that's an issue. Quality control should catch that crap. I understand some times things will arise with first batches but not getting the glass flush is unacceptable. They've had this issue in the past, it shouldn't have to happen years later. I'd never wait 4 months to buy a new flagship. I get the concept but as a consumer it shouldn't have to be like that. Many want the latest and greatest when it's released. I use to go through phones every six months now I've been hanging in to the good ones longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Doesn't make no difference, those that complained about the n8 light bleed did so regardless of when it was bought.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychofedex:
This comment is so rude and uncalled for.

Note 9 is the one of the most expensive phones in the market at the moment, one of the best, and possibly the very best.

For that money, it needs to be perfect. Light leaking is not a big deal, but once when you see it, you cannot unsee it and you only look at it.

So image you bought brand new Mercedes or BMW worth 100k and more.

And you cant roll your windows all the way up or down.

Will you be like "thats fine"?

Me, as a Samsung user from note 2 till note 9, where should I go? This aint some chinese no name brand worth 300$, its a Samsung and light leaking is a disgrace. If this was J or A series, it coulda pass, but this can't.

Its not my fault coz they did not paint it enough or they made bezels too thin to handle.

I coulda just glue some led tracks to see those "special effects".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gyokzoli:
Light cannot leak from the behind of the display in case of AMOLED, that's physically impossible. What you see is the reflection of the display which is reflected back from the curved glass which is in front of the AMOLED panel (just like how the fiber cable works). The reason you cannot see it on every single Note9 is that there are tiny (like micron sized) differences between the glass and the AMOLED panels, the curves, etc., meaning that there are no 2 displays exactly the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
What he said.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] strikerdj2011:
agreed 100% you will still get a idot pop up ans say no its still light bleed lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychofedex:
Reading this I can only confirm that you are all mentally challenged. Samsung confirmed that light leaking is an issue.

I was just at the Samsung Brand Store and will send my device back. Note 8 also had the same problem, every curved samsung device had and probably will have the same problem, but not 100% of devices, just a few percents.

And now you are all "display experts" and you are all deffending Samsung like isheeps are deffending Apple, and you still remain blind for some obvious defects.

"Light reflection from a display" where Sammy only failed to put a little more black paint to fully cover that screen.

Hands down to internet experts, you never fail to amaze me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
I didn't state anything exact, just that it's unacceptable for such a high priced phone to have any undesired "effects". It's samsung "obligation" to be sure this or anything else will not happen. It's common thing that during the initial mass production the QC is really bad, they are perfectly well aware of it, but it's more important to flood the market with phones to sell while the hype is up + 2/3 of the people won't return a phone with small defects. There is also quality binning for different countries, depending on what are the customers there. It's a good money making machine and everything is calculated precisely from highly payed teams. I digress tho, but the phone is not marketed to have this, some units doesn't, most of the affected units have it only on one of the sides or/and not fully (it's partially) - this for 1250 euro phone. Ok, each on it's own, but I would not tolerate this for such an expensive phone. I respect your opinion and if you are fine with this - good for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] destz0r:
last night i checked in my dark room if i got this issue, and im glad i dont. my phone also belongs to the first batch i think
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LilWeech:
i own all the Note phones except Note 5 and not one had these flaws and I also be in the first batch , it's unfortunate that some have it .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Didnt we have this issue on S8s and note 8 too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
This thread has been cleaned and edited

Now lets keep it clean
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
Yes. Last year, I returned a Note 8 for this same reason. I then waited a few months and tried the Note 8 again. It had only one little spot on the bottom right corner. Now I have the Note 9, and it also has the light leak. I'm using a Spigen Liquid Air Armor case, and completely hides the light leak, so I guess I can deal with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
Like mentioned it does suck spending that much on a device and it not be perfect.

Maybe if enough people report the issues something may get done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
I doubt they'll do anything about it. It definitely does suck though. I currently don't have it occurring only Note 9, but my Note 8 has it very slightly. I posted earlier to others that shunned me, it will happen eventually. My Note 8 didn't have it until I washed it in cool water after it got done charging. It was pretty warm and I should have done that but yeah, noob move by me. No liquid gets under the glass but the glass has flexed enough that light bleeds through the glue so you can see it on the sides.

Folks are concerned their device will let in water, and you have a right to bem here's a test. Look directly into where the bleeding is occurring, if the light pierces your sight, it could let in water. If not, the glue is still doing its job.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
This is my second Note 9. I returned the first one for the light leak, and asked the salesman at Best Buy if we could check a few before we complete the exchange. He said "No, we are not allowed to open the box before you commit to buying the device". I think that bull, especially since the boxes aren't sealed. So I told him to exchange it, and if there is a problem, I'd be back. Well, this phone has the light leak just as bad as the first one. Now Best Buy say's that I'll have to go through Samsung's warranty exchange. I almost returned the phone to Best Buy today. I was getting in my car to go to Best Buy when the UPS driver delivered my Spigen case. I put the case on and liked it so much that I decided to keep the phone and use the case. I may regret it later, but for now I'm happy.

BTW, I did call Samsung about the light leak the other day and that was a horrible experience. I got nowhere on that call.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
My s8s back i noticed is coming up enough to where i can get my nail in behind it

I dont get it wet but know Ive never done nothing to make it separate like that So I would assume if it can happen with the back the front would be no different
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
I have had my share of horror stories dealing with samsung if yall recall I sent my S8 in and they had claimed it to be received like some one smashed it to pieces substandard packing and all

Which was not the case Yea it was bricked not smashed Double boxxed with plastic grocery bags as cushion inside both boxes it was sent back inside the box they sent it to me in the first time so If thats substandard packing then what they packed my s8 in to begin with was tripply sub standard
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Yeah I had that on but Note 5 on the back. I think it's because of heat. Add much as I love the look of the devices, glass, glue, and heat are not a good fit ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Of course not all of first batch have problem, just higher percentage than normal. Samsung don't want ( can't do ) to do free warranty for new phone with this prob because they will loose too much. They knew it before
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
korea keeps all the perfect phones for them. rest of the world gets the rejects.

seriously, id be interested to poll who has the light bleed and any other visual issue(because lets face it, these are all just cosmetic issues) and where the phone is from and date if fabrication. maybe that way next time around you guys can avoid certain markets.

this is my second Korean note device and i can't say i can SEE any issues

obviously using a custom rom and build prop was changed to F but i really am on a N960N
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Had no issues with note 8 or my current note 9. Note 8 was made in China and the note 9 Vietnam. Last note I exchanged was a note 4 because quarter of the screen was pinkish ever so slightly. My note 8 had an ever slight pink tinge in the lower section but I lived with it.

And for those that find Samsung USA support useless, as I did. Be sure to do the survey and let them know afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sabertooth:
Saw this issue in a display unit in store. Was lucky to not have found it in my unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xMadMike:
My Note 8 had very miniscule light bleed but the Note 9 seems to have it very visible only where the top volume buttons and power button is. Never bothered me as my S6edge+ had some more visible bleeding and it kinda looked cool, like an edge lighting feature :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShadowFlare:
I've checked mine on full on brightness in a quite dark area, didn't notice any light bleed. This light 'bleed' is more like light 'reflection' at the edge of the glass that is not bonded fully to the frame. OLED panels don't bleed light like LED panels bleed backlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
I am still looking for this mysterious light bleed. Just tried full brightness white screen. Blinding white slab.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Mysterious?

Some people don't have it.

Some people do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
It's been an ongoing problem for Samsung and their curved displays. They need to add a qc check for this like they added checks for batteries or this will eventually blow up in their face.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thankfully I do not have it but I totally agree with this. My note 8 has it slightly but it's not bad at all and a case easily covers it. Best Buy was kind enough to let me check a few before I purchased it to find a acceptable one. As for my Note 9 Verizon sent me a good one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgcruzing:
It's an on going problem for all manufacturers.

10 years and over a number of devices it will always get discussed..

Doesn't matter if the phone was made in Vietnam, China, Korea, Philippines, Malaysia or Indonesia..or for that fact..US..

The bonding of surfaces is always going to produce defects..and so if course it's a % factor.

Thankfully mine is fine..

Checking out the product in the shop is a good idea..if you can..

Also wouldn't a good case fix this?

It seems most cases I am trialing at moment are wrapping up the aide so as a whole I never look to the side of the phone for light bleed.. (which is different to tablets that I have had that have it coming off a corner or bottom bezels).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Café King:
I'm also having this crappy problem. Never had this problem on my previous Samsung phones. Getting a black cover tomorrow. Will let you know if it helps. If not, I'm considering to slice some black tape and put on ?

/CK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] strikerdj2011:
bit the bullet and got mine exchanged the sharpy pen come off after about a week or so so got 02 to do door stop swap here in the uk this one is worse but even all way around so stuck a case on it and cant see it but am more happier now as its not patchy around the screen where i could see bits here and there
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
id be very very curious to get a poll on this.. country of origin/fabrication. not fully convinced we should rule that out.

btw USA dosen't make devices
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Café King:
Got my black cover and put it on. All good now. I can't see the edge light leak anymore.

/CK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychofedex:
Okay guys,

I got in a "fight" with Samsung's support, they refused my warranty the first time, now I have sent it again and wrote couple of mails to see where this is all going.

They call it a "characteristic" of curved displays.

I call it flaw or defect coz if all of the phones have that light bleed, okay, its common, but having 10 in 100 phones is not.

Therefore, if they refuse my application again, I'm thinking of something more extreme, like that "USB killer" thing or something similar.

So if they are refusing to change my phone coz of the screen, they will do that coz of dead motherboard.

Is anyone here familiar with how to **** up your phone without loosing warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
This is a sure fire way to get your post removed. You're basically asking for help with fraud.. Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychofedex:
Like as Samsung sold me defected phone.

I do not see the problem.

If they are going to be ignorant, I will be rude as well.

I did not break it, i did not remove the paint to expose light from the display so they have rights to refuse my complaint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Im not arguing how you should feel about it but the other comment is technically against XDA rules.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychofedex:
Rules are there to be broken.

Just kidding, if mod wants to delete it, I do not see the problem as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I won't tell if you won't lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Café King:
Put it in a microwave and tell them it just went out of it own...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
This also shows how petty you are and capable of terroristic threats. You are on a very technical forum threatening death by USB killer. You have no idea how much of a red flag you are and you are passive about it.

Over some light showing between cracks on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Umm wat
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Lol. He wants to **** up his phone and you call it "terroristic threat". Definitely against xda rules discussing this, but ???.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalallstar:
Quick update. The Samsung Experience Store here in Toronto finally got stock of 512's in this weekend. They swapped my out even though it was past the 15 day return period. I'm happy to say this one has no light "escaping" from anywhere around the frame. Moral of the story, this is not a natural occurring phenomenon that is caused by the curve of the screen. I also wouldn't call it a defect. I do however think you should'nt settle for a device that has the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
So more like an anomaly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
More like tolerance levels .

When I flash this rom it's showing error 7 I attached recovery log below and I try many rom but same issue occurred
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mbstone:
If my phone is on for more than 10 minutes, I lose calling functionality. When I try to call someone, it freezes and the Pixel becomes unresponsive, forcing me to hold down power for 10 seconds for a reboot. After this, it works just fine for another 10 or so minutes.

I have no idea when calling functionality begins to be lost because I can still send and receive texts, but I can't make or receive calls. I don't even get a wave of missed calls or anything when it works after a reboot.

Google Assistant has it's own issues when this happens too. It won't come up with "Hey, Google" at all. When I long press the home button, Google Assistant comes up, but I just get the floating dots. Fortunately, it doesn't freeze when I try this. Restart the phone and I'm good for about 10 minutes or so. I tried installing 3rd party calling apps, but the problem persists.

Hoping this is a Pie issue and waiting for the next security patch, will likely do a sideload flash-all. Any suggestions as to what the problem is from? Could my SIM card be the problem? Any apps I could try to help narrow down the issue? I had no issues with Oreo.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mbstone:
Tried rebooting in safe mode. Slightly similar results: works fine for about 10 minutes but then it's just the mic not working. I can make and receive calls with out the phone freezing, but no mic.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Aimless Rambler:
I have a similar issue with a used Pixel I purchased. I couldn't place or receive calls, with everything else working fine. Did the prerequisite online searches with results finding most everyone experiencing this issue chalking it up to hardware but I'm still thinking software. I tried a different phone app (drupe-enabled as default) with some success, then the problem returned (a few days later, rarely get/make calls). The default google phone app (version 23.0) fails every time. Currently looking into TWRP/Root and hoping to eliminate certain default apps to experiment further. Will be keeping an eye on this post! :cyclops:

Could there be an issue within google play services with phone dialer app (any/or stock app)?

After continued issues I parked phone in drawer a bit then pulled out and tinkered with a few weeks later. Tried to isolate problem using logcat and on a hunch I flashed TWRP and a custom ROM but

NOT

any gapps package. Sticking sim in and using the built in phone app (Resurrection Remix -com.android.dialer) it works without issue. What? I flashed gapps (correct version/etc) and sure enough the problem returned. Went back to rom minus gapps, works fine. So, with straight up stock rom - stock phone dialer fails, custom rom - it works without a gapps package but not with.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mbstone:
Went back to Oreo before I had the problems and... problems persist. I'm sad. I had the privilege of speaking to someone from Google Support who was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my best option from the rep was to take it in to one of their authorized repair places.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] GuestK00128:
Vzw ended up replacing my dad's phone through extended warranty. I talked to Google for awhile. Multiple factory resets, factory image installs, tried older phone apks. Nothing worked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Aimless Rambler:
Older/newer phone dialer apps didn't work for me either ... custom rom and eliminating google play services did (no gapps). I'm still tinkering with the device ... installing frequently used apps using F-droid and Yalp, will test it. Not quite sure why but it works.

I ended up flashing Lineageos for Microg, presents it's own problems in the learning experience but it works.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mbstone:
Nothing ever worked in the end. No, not with Verizon. Bought through Canadian carrier called Fido.

Called Google tech and they weren't overly helpful. I started a chat with a Google Tech and they suggested I take it to UBreakIFix. They did a free diagnostic test and I referenced https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsIW_gxTpXX3s/?hl=by that thread. Said they'd fix it for free even thought I was out of warranty. Got a new motherboard and my phone works like a charm.
