The battery at the top of the screen between the speakerphone and headphone jack. What exactly is it for, and can the phone function without it? What would the consequences be?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe it is a way for the "man" to track you. I saw Mission Impossible. I know how these things work.
Bet it is some backup for clock or GPS. Unplug it and see what goes haywire.

i think the tracking theory is probably right, i watched MI too haha
I just found a service manual and it labels it as 'backup battery'
removing it is kinda tough, seems stuck but i'll see what happens. most likely for remembering date/time when regular battery is removed.

does anyone know which hole is the + and - of the battery?
the label is very misleading.
the + should be at the first from the left,
but where's the - suppose to be? last from the right? or second last from the right?
thanks in advance, i really need to know, its important
big thanks for any reply

First and Last.
If you are really worried, go get a 3.3V DC FAN from your hardware store, then just stick the two wires there, when it starts to spin, you know which is which.
Volt meter is another good way.
Are you going to use the BMS?
Thanks for the info, will try it.
What's a BMS?
The reason I want to know the +&- is because this is my spare battery and I need to know the polarity in order to use the external charger to charge it.
This is weird. Why would an application use power even though it was never ran? Look at the screenshots, the game "cow vs. alien" was never started after phone fully charged, yet battery stat shows it used a whole lot of power. When I click on it however the usage info is blank, just like it never ran.
This is not the first time something like this happened too, had a few other programs do the same thing.

I did, with GPS status, the app developers say it's an "Android bug"
I am sorry that i re-post, but this thread was posted in the holiday, and I feel didn't get enough attention
I also feel this is something interesting that is worth the investigation.

Notice power widget edges:
Looks like a hardware fault with either the display or the connections from the main PCB to it.
I'd call a warranty replacement.

Appreciate that!
Since I bought this second-hand, am I entitled to warranty?
Someone also suggested that this phone's display may have been replaced with a non-original one. How do you feel about that?
Hi!
If you look at the posted image, there are areas with red pixels.
I get these at various places and I haven't found why it is happening.
It seems to be software related (opengl lib?), although I've gotten it on several roms.
If anybody knows please help me.
Thanks on beforehand!

bump
I noticed it only appears after the tablet been used and the CPU gets a little warm.
Maybe time to contact Samsung?
If it's transient and temperature related, visible on different screens once it appears I'd think so. Seems like a defective panel perhaps.
If your tab is still under warranty (I'm guessing it is) I'd definitely take it to Samsung to have a look at.
The picture sure does not look like everything is alright ...
Have no idea what it could be though, as I've never seen something like that happen to a Gtab
While i was talking on phone by using handsfree, i was using facebook, and then suddenly screen starts getting black from bottom, is there any solution of this except replacing screen?

Just saw the video, I honestly don't think there's any solution but to replace the LCD. Your Amaze hardware is dying, unfortunately. Hopefully someone else chimes in with any other suggestions because you can't do much if it's a hardware failure. Take it to a repair shop first before considering to fix it yourself please, thanks.

Yeah, I agree with SuperAfnan, it looks like an LCD issue. Most definitely it's hardware not software related. If the cost of repair is prohibitive, you should still be able to back-up and save your data via USB with ADB.
From here is most likely a hardware issue, recommend backup at the very least sommething might be off-placed maybe the flex but may be lcd or even board. Good luck.
