Going by all of the promotional photos and the other accents on the phone, I think that it is pretty safe to say the the buttons should also be red. That said, a lot of owners have found that some (as on mine) or all of the buttons have a light red (pink) hue. Since the actual backlights are white, it seems to be a manufacturing defect in that the red tint used on the digitizer was not applied properly on some devices. Yes, it sucks. There's also a thread showing some users cracking open their RZDs using everything from a red sharpie to color the white LED's to completely replacing them with red LED's.

Haha. Yeah, two of mine are fairly red, but the others are very pink. I want to rub the lights down with a sharpie, but I haven't looked into getting the "void" sticker off in one piece yet. I'm also wondering how legit the "replacement" stickers are on ebay. The fact that they only sell them in sheets of [email protected]$10 a sheet is lame though.

I believe it's been proven that males tend to be more color blind than females but she's pushing it there.
From the pics that have been posted by some users..... That's PINK!.
Crossing fingers that I get red when I take the dive.
My buttons are pretty much pink too, but it doesn't bother me.

Seriously, guys. Risking voiding your warranty or exchanging for a brand new phone because the buttons aren't red enough? Sounds more like a thing that would derail an Apple fan, to me!
Mine are nice and red. I'm just wondering how long that's going to last before they start turning pink though.

So we bought a phone with red capacitive lights, and aren't supposed to be bummed that they are pink? Everything relating to a smartphone is a first world problem, so calling this one complaint out is a little silly. I had my lights replaced with red LEDs. My warranty isn't void. If it doesn't bother you, that's great. You don't need to tell us that it shouldn't be an issue, because obviously, to some of us, it is.

Took about 2 weeks for me to start to see a change
Yepp to some of us the details are important. Obviously for someone for example who can care less about cars, they wouldnt put rims on it or other stuff, but for someone who does, its something they want done. I would def want my rezound in white, would look sick with the red lights and red grill n so forth, but im not gonna paint this guy cuz it never stays as good as factory done i wish stupid colorware would paint other phones aside from gay ass iphones and ipads...

HTC should know that customers are not happy about it. Even if they don't receive the complaints directly, the exchanged handsets should be enough of an indication. I'm probably being too wishful in that regard though, as the handsets will likely just be "re-certified" and sold again, knowing Verizon. Then the circle of life is completed - the only resources consumed are some new packaging materials.

i just got my replacement warranty phone from big red after my new one went to poop. anyways.... first, the top right screen looks and feels like its not screwed in tight. i can see the screen loose and i can press it down to where it should be but just looks like i can peel the screen off.so i tighten up the screw on the back but still have some play on it. is that normal? my wifes phone doesn't seem to do that but just in case someone else had this problem and what they did aka return or what not.
another note my screen has that brownish tint or what not to it. my wife screen is white and bright and mine is white brownish color (hard to explain but dull looking tint). is that normal on new phones?
main question is i don't know if this phone is broken, defective or what not. just needed some input if some of you guys had this problem. thanks

Don't feel bad I recently had a fascinate that the screen burned out on. They sent mme a replacemrnt and the new one wouldn't get signal. Ever. Got my third one and called back and complained and ended up with the thunderbolt and sold my fascinate and profited 200 bucks.

It is along the bottom of the screen. I'm scared to boot the other one I ordered.

Yep the 3D does have light bleed along the bottom of the screen and up the sides. Doesn't appear to be as bad as the Evo 4G but it is there.
And I don't thing the power button is any different either. It the same hard to find one on my Evo 4g.

Yup, same here. It's minor, and doesn't really bother me. Barely noticeable.
The powerbutton though, how's it hard to find? It's always in the same spot and never moves!
yes, this is one of the things i wish htc fixed but i have it too.. im going to ask for a new one because i have a white spot near the home button from the light.. guess the black under the glass didnt cover that little pin size spot.
as for the light bleed... i always use a case on my phone, do i dont see it much. sucks that its there i guess but not a deal breaker

Mine is the same way, a little light bleeding from the capacitive buttons, but not a big deal at all.
I see it in a well lit room. I had to go in a dark room with my dslr to get the picture. maybe I'll get a case but I sure do like to streak.

To each there own. Personally I don't like companies doing shotty work on any part of my device. It's not bad but when I'm laying in bed on the EVO it was annoying and could make watching videos not good. Like I said I'm weird but I like my products made with care and without batch defects.
That being said it not as bad as the original but its a shame they couldn't fix such a stupid issue.

Of course it's not a big deal, but it's really something that just shouldn't happen. When cheaper phones by HTC can have no leaks, then it means it's all just a matter of quality control.
Both phones have light bleed at the bottom. It's there. It is very hard to photograph. I won't go into why it is so hard to photograph. But it shows up very well in a bright room.
No light bleed here whatsoever

Hi guys, I have a really general question. What color do your buttons light up? The ones on the bottom, the menu, home, back, search buttons. I just bought a refurbished I777 and they are this off white, kind of yellow color.
Every other version of the S2, the skyrocket, the Tmobile version, has this really nice white/blue color. Went to an AT&T store today but they said they have never had a display model of the S2 for me to compare.
I even got a replacement refurb today thinking mine was defective, but its the same color! This ugly yellow color can't be right...can it?
Yes they're an off white/yellowish color. I agree the white/ bluish color would be way nicer. I've compared mine, store display and friends. They're all he same color.

Now that is a weird color combination lol.
But that is sad to hear, I will be the first to admit that I am probably too picky and that to most people it will just appear as white, but it's a bit lame when comparing to every other GS2 model
I keep mine off. Once you learn where they are, no point in having them using battery.
I leave them on all the time, its still nice to see them in the dark, and they take very little battery. (Like emptying your glove box to save mileage in your car)
I would say mine are white. A "warm" white. Towards the yellow side, but I don't see yellow. I had a Thrill that were not only much brighter they were "cool" white, towards blue. I like the warm white better.
It doesn't surprise me to see a variation. My wife and I had captivates for a year, each got one replacement. All 4 were slightly different. It was the brightness more than the color on them. One of them you could not tell when they were on, unless it was dark. One of them was uneven, the menu was brightest, search less bright, it took me a few months to notice, but after that I always noticed.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Yep, the at&t SG2 has an off-white light illumination. Compared to the Sprint, T-Mobile version and Skyrocket, you can definitely tell a difference. In my opinion though, it's more subtle. The T-mobile, Sprint and Skyrocket versions are a bright white and I find it a bit distracting.
Agreed, I like the color. Its soft, and doesn't distract

It's an off white, "warm white" color. It's not obvious until you compare it side by side with the Infuse, which has more typical "cool white" LEDs. The "warm white" LEDs are more consistent with incandescent lamps in terms of color temperature.

When I ran MIUI they stayed on all the time automatically. I wouldn't have used miui for so long if they didn't. I don't remember there being a setting for it, and I can't imagine the setting carrying over from stock ROM that was installed before. I'm running ICScreweD now, so I can't verify in the settings. IIRC there was a few posts in the MIUI thread asking how to not have them on all the time, but no way to change that.

since ive only been with tmo about 2-3 weeks, im not really sure how often i can return a phone for being defective (still within remorse period). do they flag your account for too many returns? is there a limit to the amount of phones they will exchange? should i try and return this phone to a different store?
i feel like for the money i paid for this phone it should be flawless and at the same time its both a burden on me and tmo that i keep having to return this phone. thoughts? experiences? thanks
the three bright spot are on all models, its a known issue with the phone, they may take it back, but you will get an other one with the same issues.

i dont think it matters how many you physically return but if your requesting them from insurance they do because a lot of people scam insurance and just sell their devices.
Although, the capacitive lights at the bottom do leak, a lot. this is a well known issue and its highly likely that the next Amaze you get will have the same issue. If I were you, I'd at least root, and download adjbrightness from the market and just turn em off. It saved me some battery and got rid of all the light leakage hope I helped bro
if it is a deal breaker for ya, just get the GSII, its a good one too

I never noticed these on my phone until last night when I was watching a show on my phone. Kind of annoying, and I'm hoping they don't get worse. I don't know how they would, but I've had the phone for two months and never noticed it till now.
For sure exchange though, I doubt they flag your account for having phone hardware issues. I only had 4 mytouch4gs in a year, but I was annoyed enough to get a free amaze out of it. They're good with exchanges. Wish they didn't have to be and the phones worked, but oh well.

It really sucks having blue lines in the LCD. Since I am not far from Chicago, the cold weather here I believe is triggering the issue. I am going to keep exchanging until HTC gets it right and T-Mobile sends me a good phone lol.
Exchange it man! Don't be shy. You deserve what you pay for and tmo needs to be held responsible for providing that. Guarantees are only useful if you use them! If they overcharged you for some service would you just pay it because you don't want to burden them? I do agree it can be a pain to bring it in, I would go so far as to request a discount on your service. Never forget, they are there to serve you!
P.S. I also never lock myself into contracts, just so I have the option to quit. You would be amazed how much better service you get from the "customer retention center."

Under the cap buttons? Really? I guess I will have to see the picture when u post it. The known light bleed issue is 3 white spots above the cap buttons... More so in between each cap button...

I don't have any blue lines or dead pixels on my Amaze, but so have the very common light bleed onto a dark screen, which was annoying.
I downloaded an app called screen filter off the market and it shuts the lights off on the soft keys. It was god sent! Didn't have to root my device either.
Not sure what you are talking about. Honestly don't want to as it may bother me if I see it on mine because of your picture, lol!

ok guys, just got back exchanging my 2nd device at a different store and wait for it...wait for it...this thing is flawless (so far)!!!! very, very minimal light bleed and absolutely zero light coming from in between the cap buttons...
the store i bought the first 2 units from admitted to me that they sold very few amazes so i figured i must have been getting old stock. well it turns out, the other store i went to today had gotten burglarized a few weeks ago and had all completely new inventory. looks like the newer units have maybe addressed our concerns? not sure, but at this point im very happy!!
now that i got a good unit, you guys are stuck with me here for awhile! LOL
That's cool man. Glad to hear you got a good Amaze.
It was funny after reading this thread, I kept looking for those spots you were talking about, which I do get, but bleeds into the screen and that app took care of that problem. But having it outside in the sun, I noticed those blue lines. It is faint, but there. Looks like a grid. I assume these are on all of the devices? I can't see it much unless outside and the sun beating on it at a certain angle.
Kind of how my Kindle Fire is as well.

You could open it up, like he said, and just use a red sharpie to color them, if you don't have the right paint. It fades after a few weeks, but I used to do that. Or you could use one of the Sense 3.6 custom roms, and use the leedroid tweak to dim the lights down. They look much better dimmed, to me at least

Or ... you could let it be.
I have seen some fairly bad Refurbs in my day. If your only problem with your phone is that you do not appreciate the general shade of red present on your buttons, I say hold onto it tight with both hands and never let it go.
At least the soft keys match up with the ROMs that have unicorn porn in the Dev section.

You could open it up, like he said, and just use a red sharpie to color them, if you don't have the right paint. It fades after a few weeks, but I used to do that. Or you could use one of the Sense 3.6 custom roms, and use the leedroid tweak to dim the lights down. They look much better dimmed, to me at least

Or ... you could let it be.
I have seen some fairly bad Refurbs in my day. If your only problem with your phone is that you do not appreciate the general shade of red present on your buttons, I say hold onto it tight with both hands and never let it go.
