So first time I noticed this...looks like its the proximity sensor
If u have the phone in a dark room u can actually see a tiny little red light next to the left of the ear piece...thing is u can only see it when then phone is strait up and down...vertical u know
I think it senses u holding the phone strait and anticipation of holding the phone to ur ear

If there is no light available I would expect it to emit some that way when it gets a reflection it know to kill the screen.
Just my opinion of course

I was just about to report it. Yea I guess it is for night time
Night light, lite brite, etc.
I think that's for the in pocket detection option where ur phone locks itself when. Inserted to a pocket or something

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?

Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?

Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?

My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Hi Ministig
I've got the white spot/pixel issue,only noticed it when I was looking at another site which had a very dark blue background

Is it just my phone, but when I'm talking on the phone and my face is moist (sweat) from the hot weather when I try to click over or hang up it won't respond. I have to turn the screen off and turn it back on or wait til the person hangs up. Is anyone else having that problem or is it my phone?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Moisture is a touchscreens worst fear. Anytime they get wet they will do funny things. Just wipe it off on your shirt or whatever...
I do and I have a screen protector on. It still doesn't work. It doesn't be a lot of sweat jus a very little.

Screen protectors make it worse... for me it always has anyways. I'm a mechanic and use my phone all day, and even without a screen protector I haven't scratched the screen on my hero, shift, or this phone in the last two years I've had a touchscreen/smart phone. They make them pretty resilient, ya know.
Lol.. It may be my phone. Who knows.
I jus switched screen protector hopefully this one works.

Okay so during a phone call there's this red light next to the front facing camera, once the call is over it disappears!
Are we bring recorded?!!? Lol
But seriously does anyone know what the red light is and/or why it is there?
Thanks in advance

It's not a light at all, it's the proximity sensor.
Lol whats with all the conspiricys on here lately
The proximity sensor doesn't light up. Its the infrared light for the sensor.

AT&T is recording all your phone calls and sending the information to companies so that you can get more personalized results. It's part of the terms and conditions that you sign...Now, you can be talking to your friend about these new jeans you really want to buy, end the call, and boom, Amazon's link to that pair is ready and waiting.
@yahoowizard: I knew it!!! LOL
@quarlow: Figured, just wanted to have a fun thread! LOL
Some people have better near-IR sensitivity than others... Just like old people have less sensitivity to high frequencies than young, leading to some old fogeys using "squealers" to implement "get off my lawn!".
The light during calls is the near-IR component of the prox sensor. It's how the phone turns off the screen and disables touch when your face is next to it.
This thread made me laugh.

Hey guys,
I dropped my phone the other day from 50cm on wooden floor (i have tpu case on it) and noticed that the screen is now a little bit up from the body right at the bottom right and I have now light leak from the back bitton ((
Screen is sticking out like 0.5mm
nothing major I guess, but was wondering if someone has taken their baby apart and knows if this is easily fixable? I guess it's just the glue, doesnt stick to the screen anymore, but not sure
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks )
Pic is bad quality sry

Can you take a close up photo. Someone might be able to help or suggest if they have a better idea.

With a case on you'd never know it.
Maybe somethings just popped and needs reseating?
Maybe there's a YouTube video somewhere?
Sorry can't help any further. Best of luck.

Crazy idea but might as well turn off the backlight buttons under settings. That should help to ease your eye strain from that light leak

Wow, big surprise to me. I was sort of annoyed at the small size of the notification light on the side of the screen, but I just realized that they put one on the back of the phone, and its much larger. Cool!
Yep

It was one of the new main features of the phone besides the screen and internals

Yep. Most of the time I'm using the phone for voice chat (phone call or VOIP usually), the phone is face down. It automatically switches to speaker when the phone is face down so all you need to do is either hit call or hit answer and place the phone on your coffee table while you work. Very convenient feature and you don't have to worry about missing notifications while it's face down because of the rear notification light. This also applies when you leave the room for a bit and return. I personally love the feature but from what I've heard, other people consider it a nuisance. To each his own I suppose.
I haven't really noticed it, seems kinda useless.
Too bad most of the cases cover it
