well in dark conditions, the lights hurt my eye. in bright conditions, you don't really notice it

Yep,noticed the very bright lights during dark conditions as well, but suppose that's how it's designed.
anywayz...keep in mind the real arc (Noah's one) didn't have any lights at all

That was the ark with a 'k'.
PS: There's only one, true 'arc'.

I have that two light, but not really bright.

LOL, you're right, twice!

Any way to disable them?
Hi.
Have anyone found a way to disable or dim the keypad lights ?
Thanks.

seriously.. those tiny lights hurt your eyes ? i never noticed them too much
i don't think there's any way to dim them, disable maybe.

remove battery, remove 6 screws. use your nails or thin plastic to separate the housing enough to access to the board underneath the main keys.
use a small flat blade screw driver lifting the housing off the board then insert a thin piece of paper on top of the light (to both lights)
you can use colored plastic wrap to suit.

there are instructions around to disassemble arc but its quite easy just to filter or block that light. so try. careful with using.metal tools on plastic

[Q] need help with a strange screen problem

I have an HTC Desire Bravo and it suddenly developed this screen issue.
I uploaded images of the phone to my flickr. It seems that perhaps the lcd oil has leaked or maybe water has gotten in. I'm sure it was caused by pressure on the screen as the LED backlights are more visible round the sides now and the inside screen (LCD) seems curved outwards but the outside (digitizer/touchscreen) doesnt seem bent. anyway here's the links to my pictures, If anyone finds a way to fix it without sending it off to get a new screen please let us know!

In order to fox the screen yourself it literally requires you take take apart the ENTIRE phone from back to front. I'm sure you can find a guide on Google, but you'd be really putting your phone at risk if you haven't got any experience with this.
You can't fix this yourself.. needs to be sent for repair, you'll only make it worse mate

I kinda figured. I was hoping to see if it was possible to open the phone and just blow air between the screen and digitizer.. that way i could theoretically pop them apart with like a bit of surgical tubing and an industrial strength blower.
But if the screen isnt connected with a ribbon and is just silicon stuck on then i'm not doing it. HATE that silicon ****.
Oh and thanks bortak
I had the same problem on my Samsung jet. It's a LCD leak. U can fix it ur self but it is very complicated and requires you to dissassemble your phone ..

S pen acting weird

My devil of a son threw my new phone on the floor and cracked the screen pretty bad requiring me to change it. Left a big hole in my wallet too. After changing the screen, I found that my s pen is acting a bit weird. In air view mode, the dot is off by around 2 mm.
I also noticed that the pen sensitivity has also reduced.
Is there any fix for this problem?
I have tried using reset s pen app from the market, but it doesn't seem to help either.

First; turn on auto rotate if it's already on turn it off and on. Then go to display setting and recalibrate horizontal and gyro, finally go to your home screen and scribble the spen around the screen with it held at all angles and draw into the corners. If this doesn't fix it then maybe it's a hardware issue.
If the sensitivity is not right there are two options I know of; open open up the cover/button and adjust the dial underneath, or do as I did and slam the spen quite firmly onto a hard flat surface. (I actually layered mine between two coasters to protect the funny shaped end and hit the side with it at about a third the strength I imagine youd need to break it - it worked wonders for mine. )

Thanks for all your suggestions. I Did what you suggested. Claibrating the gyroscope dis nothing much. Slammed the spen but doesn't help.
Opened the spen and tried adjusting the screws inside... Didn't see much difference.
Guess that leaves me with the only option of heading to the service center and talk to those experts out there.

I dont want to create one more thread, so i will write about my problems here. I have similar problem as OP has.
My wacom sensor behaves strangely in the corners and the edge of the screen.
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem clearly. All the lines should be straight, but they are not.

Disappointed color transfer on the blue model

Hey guys check this bulk crap out. I got my girl the blue nexus 5x and after using it less then 2 weeks all of the edges and around the camera are pink from the inside of her red purse.... See the pics. Going to probably grab a replacement from google... Should not be doing that.

Wouldn't that just be the purse bleeding it's color onto the phone? Did the purse ever get moisture on/in it? I would expect any kind of plastic light in color and matte finished like the 5X back would do the same thing? Idk just an educated guess

Won't that ruin the plastic and its color?
Use it softly with very light pressure. Take it slow. Sure I guess it could, along with anything you rub on it
I would RMA the purse instead
Just put it in a different color purse?
Its matte plastic, its going to hold on to somethings. I had a flake of something red get in between the case and the phone and it left a stain on the phone. But then I just rocked the phone out of the case for a day or two and it wore off.
Hey thanks for the replies... I know that these things can happen over time but this is under 2 weeks of use!
This is on my girls phone. No moisture inside the bag at all...just spent a few day in there.
I'm going to try the magic eraser out and see how that works. I have used them in the past and they d work well for this type of thing.

no Notification Led?

I didn't see any led, but maybe I'm wrong.
Any idea?

It should be like the Nextbit Robin, on the bottom of the phone so when it's layed flat it shines on the desk and towards you.
Probably one of the speaker grill hole is a led noti.

I'm betting you're right just based on the Robin-like design. To the right of the bottom microphone. Nearly invisible until the light shines.

Just seen here on this video (sorry dont know what language it is) of a flashing light between the camera/sensors on the top front.
https://youtu.be/6svglka4euA?t=7m30s
looks quite cool, wonder of we can change it to green
Thank goodness for the observation.

I'm fairly certain this is an IR LED used for autofocusing the front camera. Probably not a notification LED.
LED is not in the middle of the camera, that's a reflection from his other recording device, not the phone. It's in between the two as seen here. (From my own phone). It is not very bright though at all. The picture looks brighter than it does to the human eye.
For those worried about it waking you or your spouse at night, don't. It's not nearly bright enough to do that and that is a good thing for most people. However if you rely heavily on the notification led, it is not bright enough to see from an angle, only directly.

Light bleeding bottom right corner

Anyone can see small light bleeding at bottom right corner?
Visible on light colors as shining vertical line.
No big deal but on that price could be without it.
no i don't think i have that here or at least can't see it..
The only light bleeding I see is between the notification LED and the sensor that is right next to it. (But not the one right next to the speaker.) It's kind of hard to even tell anything is there during the day.
EDIT: NVM It is the one right next to the speaker, which I think is the light sensor. That's not ideal, but ah well.
Hard to take photo of it. It is shadow from bottom and shining line at corner. Visible especially at daylight.
