Heya, It just arrived today my brand new HDX 8.9! I haven't been very lucky, looks like i'm the first one who's getting this problem.
Look at these images:
http://pastebin.com/46xYmV0C
If you zoom the imgs you will clearly see horizontal lines, especially in non-dark animations.
Already reported to Amazon, they will send a replacement in few days!
What do you think?
If you look the screen closely under direct light, you will find they are the joints of lines. I thought it is completely normal, but maybe I was wrong.
Let me know if the replacement does not have that problem and I will then get a replacement for my HDX

I don't think it's normal..we shouldn't see anything other than pixels.. I will let you know btw
I see a similar thing but I thought it was the touch screen sensors...

It's called the digitizer and it's how your touch screen works, they're always there on every touch screen device but yours do seem quite prominent.
You can only normally see them under a bright light.
Not so much a fault as a cosmetic flaw.

Fyi it seems like it is the digitizer. It's the same on the replacement I got. It doesn't really bother me, I just wanted to make sure I didn't have a defect...

I found it very easy to see..!
I received my replacement, and it still is the problem.
I also did a comparison between these 2 units and found that the dash lines are less obvious using default browser and book reader because they are intentionally made darker and yellowish compared with Chrome.
I might return both unit coz to me, it is an obvious hardware design failure.
Sent from my KFAPWI using xda app-developers app
I compared the white color between the replacement and my original HDx, and the replacement screen is a little bit more yellow and not the real white. This morning when I woke up my original hdx was at 40% battery.. just put it in charge and after 1 minute it was charging from 13%, and it is not the first time, also during the use (ex. from 70% it goes to 68 and after some minutes it returns back to 70..) this is really an unexpected hardware failure.. After Christmas I will probably return them both.

Anyone got this probleme

Same here, I have 2 of them near to speakers. I only see them when the screen is black( like webos booting). Probably something is pressing to lcd. Can we do something against it? Does it go under warranty?

I have them at random spots at random times (sometimes right at the middle of the screen); I tried sending it in for repair, but they just sent it back after doing a doctor - so the problem is still there.
Took some pics when it happened if someone wants to see it.
Maybe dead pixels?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, in my case, it tends to come and go as it pleases.
I have those spots as well. I think its just normal clouding as on most TVs. Since its only visible when the screen is completely black, its not that much of a problem.
One time I pressed down on the center of the screen by mistake with my elbow, and when I looked at the screen there was a yellow light halo in the center about an inch wide. I freaked out, but I 'massaged' the screen softly in the center and it went away. Might be something pressing behind the screen ?
I've yet to get my TP, hopefully by next week.
But as I read all your posts, it sounds a little bit like "Screen Burn in".
But, burn in usually most noticable with a white screen, not a black screen like some you have mentioned. Again I'm just taking a wild guess here.
I guess I will be able to contribute more when I get my device.
But then again I'm Hoping I won't have this problem at all.
=o)
Edit: 02/10/2012
I've had my HPTP for over a week now and have yet to experience any yellow spots on the screen anywhere.
Could this be an issue that happens over a period of time?
How long have you guys had your HPTP before this problem started?
I have the problem also. There are also some issues, like glue-points between the display and the cover, the display sticks off at the home button and there are other issues of the production. My touchpad is only a few weeks old and now i will send it back under warranty.

yup, same thing just happened to me
On the left side and up in the corner if it is a yellowish on dark that is lightbleed. I have it bad enough it is very visible even at 50%. This appears to be a common issue. I sent mine in for something else and it came back with still light bleed. They have offered advanced replacement, but the more I read the more I believe this is common and will never be fully free of it.
Here's a slideshow for people to make fun of:

I already have, but as mentioned, it just came back the same way; I've had this problem since I've bought it.
The worst ones are at the edges of the screen, but I didn't manage to get pics of when it happened.
Looks like internal screen delamination. That should def. be covered under your warranty as its a manufacturing defect that occurred when the screen was originally made. It's nothing you did.

The problem is that even though its under warranty, they don't do anything about it - possibly because they do not notice it as it pops up at random times.
Dang! Just got a hot pixel in my 3rd brand new prime after returning twice in the past couple of months. As much as i love the prime design, i think i am going to jump ship. Too many issues to deal with

Hot pixels are individual pixels which look much brighter than they should. They are also called sparkles.

I didn't know what a "hot pixel" was until I read this, I used to simply call them "super bright pixel defect(s)"

What you're showing isn't a hot pixel. A hot pixel is the same as a stuck pixel and is much smaller (i.e., the size of a pixel). Your picture shows a different kind of defect, which I've been calling a bright spot. One of these developed on my Prime after owning it for a month. It's a similar size to yours and in a similar spot. I started a thread on this the other day.

Right now they are rare. In the early days of LCD it was a nightmare. Buying LCD then was like a lottery. The photo shows not a hot pixel but sth else though, not sure what - a dusk over the screen or some other defect.

I have one too, and also think it's the backlight bleeding through. Also, I'm 100% sure my spot wasn't there when I got the tablet, and showed up over a month after having it.
Yes, I don't think it was there when i got the tablet on Tuesday. It just showed up yesterday. It's going back. Sux to re-customize the tablet every time I get a replacement

Mine is in a very similar spot compared to yours. It's disconcerting that the spots both showed up after a while for both of us - mine showed up after a month of regular use. What if you swap it out, set it up again, and then have another spot show up months later?
I'm not RMA'ing mine at the moment, since there are so many other problems you can get with this tablet. I've been burned before exchanging tech items for small problems and getting back units with much worse problems. Plus, I've seen a few threads with people sending their units to Asus and then being told they won't get it back for over a month due to parts shortages. Also, I'm not holding my breath for it, but I'd hate to RMA for this now and then in a month, see a WiFi fix offered via RMA. Maybe I'll RMA it down the line, but certainly not now.
I just found two more spots

Do you think they were there all along and you just missed them, or do you think they're new? One of my concerns is more forming over time.
so, im on my second amaze (first one had a dead pixel) and i need to take this one back now too because i have these 3 bright spots under the cap keys where light is leaking thru that is pretty bad and that i never noticed on their display model or the first one i owned.
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

Light bleed is a known issue. There is a modification you can make to almost completely fix. I say it doesn't affect normal usage so I left it alone. Strongly recommend you stick with amaze. It's a great device.

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... But on the screen. It's noticeable when the screen has a black background. If that's not what you're talking about, then u may have a faulty device

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.

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.

So far after owning the phone for 3 days I've noticed several problems with my Note and may go ahead and return it for a new one. First my stylus seems to to thinks its pressed down when it's not but only towards the bottom of my screen where the "space" and "." key are on the Samsung keyboard. Secondly I've noticed a dark splotch and some dots towards the top of my screen thats only visable on grey to black colors and is really only visable at night. Lastly ive beeb unable to get my USB host to work, though its possible its just the cable (from/for my old Nokia N810). Anyways have any of you guys experienced these problems or other problems and is it worth returning in my case? Thanks.
Yes!!!! Mine does that too around the space and period key. Have you oc'd? I think that is my issue. I returned my phone and got a brand new one but it still had the same issue but only after that. And only after charging.

I also have the dark spots. If i go into google and type in black screen and make it full screen and go under a blanket in pitch black there are spots on the screen that look like large individual pixels that are more black than the rest kf the screen.

Yeah really the screen spots arent a HUGE issue for me its the stylus, the fact it only does it in that one spot leads me to believe its a digitizer issur rather than just the stylus, though it doesnt do it with my ThinkPad tablet PC's Wacom pen...
Please go to this thread and run all the image/video tests to see if your screen issue is even worse than you think right now:

Well guys I took my Note to the AT&T store and showed them the problem with the stylus, both display models did it and the Note one of the AT&T employees owned did the same thing, they gave me another Note but it did it worse! so I got them to give me back my original Note. What do you think? mass defect? does anyone elses do this?

Just got mine last night. (16GB) straight from the play store. Has light bleed in the bottom left corner when holding in landscape. Didnt bother me enough to care. I watched The Dark Knight on it (alot of dark scenes) and I didn't even notice it.
Just got mine yesterday,....
expected some light bleed and wasn't disappointed. :silly: It isn't bad enough for me to agonize over and I'm very pleased with this tablet and my n7. :victory:
Every single tablet from all manufacturers are prone to some light bleed. It is just a matter of how much.
I just got mine Friday. It has light bleed too, but worse. It even has a yellow tint.
I was going to return it for a refund, then I changed my mind because this is really the perfect tablet.
I really was going to jump ship and get a surface pro at the end of the month, but I need a device that I am comfortable reading on as well.
Anyway I am waiting on this guy Chris from Google to resend me a cart link for my replacement.
Does Google people visit this forum?
Also I read somewhere Google is trying to get a hold on this quality control issue they were saying that this light bleed is not acceptable....is that true?
Thanks..joe
I guess if you need a tablet now ,we have to live with it..

If you're gonna search for problems with it then most likely you'll find some. Just don't get too finicky and see if you like the daily use of the thing.
I am happy with it just curious, I put brightness on full and turned off lights, I have two patch bottom right that are a lot brighter than the rest of the screen and it looks green in colour. Is this not the case with every unit then?

It's called light bleed! Nearly all units got this! Only the intensity differs!
If it does not bother u in daily use keep it!

I got my Nexus day before yesterday. No light bleed at all in mine.

Any pics??
I am sorry, but there should be no light bleed. There is too much of it. I don't like apple, but 5 people I know who have an iPad 3 and 4 have ZERO point ZERO light bleed. Way should I buy a car that has a wind shield that leaks and then be told that its normal, everyone is having the same problem. That's just a company
Brain washing you to buy a defective product rather then correcting the problem. I am waiting on my 3rd replacement.Joe
