This might be a stupid question but do you think you can take a pic or maybe use your phone while browsing and hope that you can video record it with some other camera and capture that grayish dot. It could be that you have a security software installed and everytime you browse it scans the website you're on. I could be wrong.
For me, when i view a pic on reddit sync, it shows up. I think it just is a way to declutter the notification bar, cause if you click it, it shows all the icons anyway. Any more info as to what you're doing when it happens?

I'll try to see if I can do that, the only security software installed on my phone is Cerbereus, which is more phone tracking than anything

I think it's related to Google Now. Shows up when there's new Google Now cards available possibly

I think you may be right, looked around on another forum. Somebody suggested that for another user. Uploading picture for confirmation if that's ok

Random screen change when powered off

Ok so kinda hard to explain.. but I have a Note 3 from Sprint - unrooted and just plane stock..
I like it and enjoying it..
I noticed the other day something strange.. then I thought.. I saw this a few times on my Galaxy S2....
when you turn my phone on it has the default red background to swipe...
With my phone sitting there every now and then I notice it turns itself on and gives a totally different screen...
this is just more of a why is it doing it and has anyone seen it before...
I seen it to but I think much of it
