Samsung Galaxy S2 Light Bleed Effect Near Power Button

I've posted this on several forums, since I haven't seen anyone bring this issue up yet.
Basically, I've noticed on the Phone screen and on the Clock screen, there seems to be this "Light Bleeding" effect near the power button. I went back to the Sprint store and confirmed that it's an issue as their display device had the same problem, and a new device they opened had the same issue. I don't know if it's just a bad batch of phones, or if this is some sort of software issue that'll get addressed in an update.
Anyone notice this?

Erm, dude... This "bleeding" effect means there's a tab there. Just scroll your finger on the tab bar, and *BAM* a new one will appear

Yh lol took me a while to find that out as well. Was looking for the keypad for ages

i have light going true just by the home button on back button side. damn

If it truly was light bleed then a screenshot would not show it. As above, it means there's tabs to the right. Grab the tabs and scroll for more

Got the same answer in another forum. Thanks for the quick response. First time using Android coming from BB. I'm sure there will be more things come up that I won't know about.

I know you are a new user, so you didn't know this, but how come sprint staff didn't know this?

this is just a visual effect to signify off screen tabs and not a hardware/software error, should really edit your post to site you made a mistake and made a hasty thread, not to mention the dumb ass reps at Sprint, just shows resellers dont have a clue when it comes to what they are actually selling.

That was funny

OMG

Wow one of the most stupid posts this month. And Sprint staff? Either that's a blatant lie or they are as stupid as you which I doubt...

I didn't say there was a light leak. I said there was an effect that looked as such. I went through the proper channels (Sprint Corporate Store > Searched Online) and finally I asked in the forum. If that, and asking questions shows stupidity, then your reply can only assert even more ignorance. If you really have nothing to say that deals with the topic, then you'd be better off not replying at all.
Thanks.

Lmao that brilliant. Haha just noticed mines an arrow i want it to bleed too

I actually thought there was some fault with my phone in the start as well, but then i found out i could scroll that bar Also since it only showed in a few apps i came to the conclusion, after a bit, that it's there to tell me i can scroll.

Lol
Sorry, but LOL!

[REQ] [Bootanimation] iPhone Stock Boot Animation

Going to try and fool a bunch of people just for sh!ts and giggles. Running MIUI and want a iPhone boot animation so I can take the Nexus to some of the bars here and trick some silly iPhone users (mainly girls) into thinking that I have an iPhone 5 or 6 prototype. Changed the battery cover to have an Apple logo on it. Also, does anyone know if it's possible to change that "pre-bootanimation" logo with Google and the little lock at the bottom?
Thanks

I'm not even gonna say it.

You might actually have better luck just asking them straight up if they'll sleep with you. Seriously.

I think this may be the most horrible thing I have ever seen posted on XDA...

To answer your question, yes you can change that Google image, it is called the splash screen and is done through the bootloader.

What's the pre-bootanimation on a iPhone? Is it that white screen? Also, I think you have to modify RLE files(or something like that).

I'd probably just want to make it completely black or have the Apple logo like on the iPhone bootanimation. I was able to get the bootanimation so mostly everything is in order. MIUI for the Nexus is so very much in Alpha that a lot of stuff still doesn't look right but I've managed to make it look 85% like an iPhone. It would probably work now but I'm a perfectionist so I'll probably work on it for a few more days or so. Probably until I realize that I'm no longer interested.

Wow, a Galaxy Nexus owner who wants an iPhone boot animation has some serious identity issues. Perhaps you need to set a reminder to talk to your therapist?

LOL you guys are ridiculous. Isn't the reason we all got a nexus so we can customize it the way we (each INDIVIDUAL) wanted to?

I reckon it would be a good experiment to show them how awesome the phone is. Then when they are in love with it (like we are) tell them what it is and see the reaction.

Slight hiccup in the OP's plan haha
+1
EDIT: You'll have to get in and change the Flash image (the white on black Google that appears as soon as it's powered on) then just get a dev (I might actually do it, with the pin wheel and everything) to post one and you'll be sweet - getting all the Atlantic (is that what you call them?) girls thinking you've got your hands on the newest iPhone prototype.
If that works, while you're there, also tell her that it needs to sit across the other side of the bedroom in landscape mode with the flash light on to charge - also to ignore the noises that sound like the camera re-focusing

Pathetic. Can't use any other word for this.

Fingerprint scanning lock screen?

Has this been implemented? I've seen a few in the play store but they're mainly to trick your friends.
Anyone having success with one...?

wont happen cuz there is no scanner
so buy a motorola atrix

Not possible. Not now, and not for a long time, unless there's a revolution in touchscreen tech. Capacitive touch screens are so inaccurate they don't know the difference between two whole fingers if you place them close enough together.

I think face unlock is as crazy add we'll get

Twins can face unlock ... Wait for it...

I have a twin. It is possible for her face to unlock my Galaxy. Any female/male twin combos with Galaxy or twins in general. If you haven't figured it out I'm a male. Not sure how I feel about this.

Haha I'm assuming you guys are adults that would suck if you guys were teens bickering someone would be in trouble.
I might have my brother and sister try this out to see if it really works

Well cant test that you should try it out in the same room and position facial expressions etc try it im curious as well lol

My brother has unlocked mine and we are not even twins we just look at lot alike. It worked like 6 out of 10 times witch is pretty good or bad how ever you look at it. Lol. With the voice and face unlock it didn't unlock but with his face and my voice it did. Hope this helps

fraternal twins are as related(genetically on 50%) as any other regular siblings so this doesn't have to be restricted to fraternal twins but could be asked of any siblings

A picture of your face could probably unlock your phone, no twin required
Now notice I said probably, I don't know for sure

Yea were adults. Were not alike in a lot of ways though. She found it nice but not cool... Girls... Wish I was enthused enough to Google a face palm to her reaction.

I'm not sure how it works but when I set it up and when she used it, it was in the same room. I've unlocked my pone with different expressions so I guess she would be able to. Two important things though. First I think you have to look at the camera and not the phone if that makes sense, my sister agrees. Secondly her hair couldn't really be in the frame.

My cousin (we share the same grandmother) said her twin daughters can unlock her phone... Gets me worried about twisted kids and Google wallet

My brother (14) and dad (46) can face unlock each other's phones.

This isn't surprising to me since my uncle who looks almost nothing like me (with the exception of skin color) is able to unlock my phone with face lock 9 times out of ten. I just figured my phone is racist and thinks all black people look the same :/
Sent from over there....

Yes, I would think so.

i showed me cousin that feature and he also was able to unlock it with his face. that is not secure at all.

In just the right light, I can open my brothers phone with face unlock.

I have tested the picture of me quite a few times so far I am 17/17 with it. NOT the most secure lock mechanisms.

Cool features. ./ general talk

I want to say hello note family! This phone is already my favorite phone. Also I like to have a thread where ppl can ask questions about anything and talk about everything. I personally like to talk about lil this I find and share them with others. So we dont blow up threads on dev section and have a million threads on things that have been answered.
So to start it off, I found that the note 2 has low light feature witch makes photos look great!!!
Same phone flash.. had galaxy s3 didn't have that feature. Thought it was cool

That will def come in handy, esp these uppoming winter months when we're all pretty much stuck inside! Inside/dark photo-taking=always a challenge.

One of the hand gestures I saw on a video that I didn't know was there is pretty cool. Basically if you have it active, while your phones on your desk or at a table, you can wave your hand over the headset and it will turn on part of the screen(most the top half) and slowly dim over a few seconds. Basically used for taking a quick peak at missed calls/text/notifications.
