It Glows

Deathsicle · #1 (**permalink**) 06-09-2010, 08:49 AM

I was in bed getting ready to go sleep, and my room is pitch dark and the only thing illuminating my room is the Evo streaming a HQ video from youtube. I was very impress with the quality, however as i turned off the screen for the night, i had noticed one particular thing. It glows!!!! Well not the phone, lol.. I noticed that the 4 touch sensitive buttons at the bottom of the phone had sorta of a a dark neon green glow to it, like the ones found on the childrens glow stickers that once its exposed to light, it gives off a slight glow. Not to seem paranoid, i had my Girlfriend look at it just to make sure i wasnt seeing things, and she saw it to. I dont know if anyone has ran into this yet or have noticed, but it seems to glow.

Drugs are bad...........lol J/K I looked for this but mine doesnt do it. I would say if its not affecting your battery (assuming its the lights) then dont worry about it.

I get a nice glow coming from the usb n hdmi ports so plugging in while in the darkest of rooms is easy

My only light source was the youtube video, i have the screen turned down to 20% brightness cause the screen is bright as hell, its unplugged from the charger and it glows, i havent noticed any battery drains whatsoever.. maybe tonite ill do the same thing and try to wake up like an hour later to see if its still glowing
