Surface Pro 7 deal! Save big at Amazon right now
- So I just noticed a bit of light leak on the bottom left of the phone (just to the left of the back button). I have had the phone a couple days and it's really not easy to notice except when you are in a near pitch black room with the screen on. My concern isn't necessarily about the looks. Though I am general pretty anal, the issue is pretty subtle and in a relatively inconspicuous area. I have, however, read of issues with dust under the screen, and that is the thing that concerns me, as that WOULD drive me insane.
So, thoughts? Anyone with light leak experience the dust issues? Another slight issue is that all of the AT&T stores around me are sold out of all colors of the phone, making a simple swap out pretty difficult.11-14-2012 10:28 AMLike 0 -

On a side note, this sounds like the Asus Transformer (TF101) ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
Light leak around the edges... Check
Dust under the screen... Check
Battery drains quick... Check
Random reboots... Check

To me it's not very noticeable and isn't a big issue.
As for the other concerns I'm getting very good battery life and have had no isssues with reboots.11-14-2012 07:55 PMLike 0 - Yeah... it took me three days to notice, and I usually notice every flaw right away, so that is not what bothers me. I am mostly worried about dust under the screen. I have never had a phone with light leak issues (to my knowledge anyway) so I have no experience of other potential problems.11-15-2012 12:19 AMLike 0

- This seems to happen more and more, general display issues. We've had light leaks and issues with un-dried glue causing a temporary discoloring of iPhone screens and the like. Always nice to see that as the market grows, carelessness follows suit.11-15-2012 02:17 AMLike 0
- mine has it too. i don't think it will lead to dust issues. assuming the glass and lcd are pre-bound as i think theyre supposed to be?, it should be fine. i also wouldn't exchange it with all the other random stuff others are reporting.11-15-2012 03:12 AMLike 0
- My light leak is on the right hand side, along with the whole right hand edge of the glass being a slight tiny almost unnoticeable but ocd maddening amount away from the case. if that makes sense.
basically the left side is fairly smooth when running my finger perpendicular to the screen and edge of case, but on the right side there is a noticeable lip. i still love this phone, way more then my last iphone.
My battery life is amazing usually, sometimes it loses 10-20% all of the sudden but i equate that to me working underground and it constantly trying to find a signal, if im just casually browsing and what not throughout the day i get a good 9 hours usually. I did disable the nokia drive app in background and that seems to help.- Share

- Unfortunately, it is an issue. My last phone had it really bad. Nokia exchanged it without question. The issue isn't only the light, its the amount of dirt that gets under there that had me worried. My new phone doesn't have any light leaking what's son ever and the glass is perfectly flush all around. Fyi I unscrewed the phone casing and lifted the LCD panel, the glass is part of the black bezel. So it isn't a matter of the LCD panel being loose, it is the glass coming loose from the entire panel. Poor quality control on nokias part. But amazing customer service.

- Hi cubanaso, so are you saying your DIY job on the screen got rid of the light leak or was it just that you lucked out and your replacement had zero leak out of the box?
Of the ones I've witnessed, it's they all have a light leak above the search button, and additionally a thin light leak along either the entire right side or entire left side but never both. Some have been weak enough that their only a cosmetic/ocd gripe, and some have been so bad that they make one half of the screen look lighter than the other when for instance looking at a black background or night photo.01-25-2013 09:24 AMLike 0 - Mine has one to the left of the back button, to the right of the search button, and above and below the windows button. I pretty much never notice any of them, only the one above the windows button if it's dark and my phone is at an awkward angle. I haven't sent mine in though because I don't think it's such a biggie01-25-2013 10:38 AMLike 0

- My first phone (920 Yellow) had a pretty obvious leak above the windows button. The replacement had it too but was much fainter so didn't bother. Recently on a bus trip, in near pitch darkness as described by another poster, I noticed there were 3-4 spots were light was leaking onto the screen. This baby is going back too.01-25-2013 12:10 PMLike 0
