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

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.

Wonder why Sprint would work so hard to get all these extra companies like boost...etc....and slow the network down rather than put the money into a super fast data high way that everyone would pay to get on?

With the new phone (and probably some upgraded towers in my area) I'm regularly getting 3G download speed of at least 1meg these days. Much better than a few months ago when I I would rarely get above 100 kb. Things are getting better. I can hardly wait for LTE.
As far as the prepaid users, as long as they are paying their bills, welcome aboard! If you don't like them, you probably don't like cheapskates like me either with the $50 unlimited SERO plan.

Can someone clue me in on the split and how it happened
Also I just got over 2mb on 3g I feel proud of sprint 3g first time ever

Galaxy note 2 and simultaneous voice and data

I just picked up this phone and can't get on the internet while on a phone call. Does it support simultaneous voice and data while on 3g like the galaxy s3? I changed mobile settings but still no go.

I thought the simultaneous-ness was due to the S4 Snapdragon and it's radio's being placed in different places.
I had this work on my HTC EVO LTE

WHAT??!! This was huge on the S3. Man, I'm thinking twice about upgrading to the Note2 now.

This phone really can't do simultaneous voice+data? Exynos fail.

I believe Sprint 3G never support simulteneous voice/data. When you make a call data drop to 2G. That said, 4G WiMax can be use with voice. I believe LTE is or will be also, but I don't remember for sure.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

To each their own, but the simultaneous voice and data was a nicety, not a necessity.
Sent from the second version of a hefty "Note" pad.

I was thinking about getting the S3 because of this, but I'm almost always around Wifi at home & work. The phone can do voice & data assuming it has either a Wifi or LTE connection, right?
Also and somewhat related, is the Note 2 HD voice ready? I'll be moving to an LTE covered area in the near future, so I'm REALLY hoping for a yes on this.

I love it. Here comes all the jealous and hating owners of other phones trying to say our phone sucks cause they can't chat and surf the web at the same time. I say big freaking deal who the hell talks that much anyways any needs internet at the same time? Is it really a deal breaker? I seriously doubt it. All you guys would swap phones with us in an instant.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

The assumption here is that when LTE hits "our" market, you will be able to do this correct?
For me, I assist my kids' soccer teams. There is nothing like having a parent call you for directions and being able to mark their current location then provide real time directions from their current location.
So, yes, to "some" of us it is important.
Deal breaker, no, "if" its coming.

I agree that it's not a huge deal. Just an annoyance. Sometimes I am downloading small files from internet on 3g at work(no Wi-Fi ) and receive a call. If I answer, download fails, so I either can't answer the call or have to restart download. With my slow 3g that is kind of a pain in ass.

Having left Apple after being an iPhone owner since the 3rd generation, I can say that I am neither jealous or a hater... But, not having Voice and Data is just "stupid" especially when it was on the S3, which I would venture to guess is where a lot of Note 2 users will be migrating from... Just my 2cents...

This makes it seem that there might be a software workaround?
Not having SVDO is a shame. Especially after having a EVO4GLTE, which has it, it is hard to give it up.

What is DC? I thought it was referring to DC-HSPA at first, but being on Sprint leads me to believe you meant Washington, DC. Please name your threads properly...

I see where's he's coming from. No need to call him dumb.
Most companies (who offered service in D.C.) already had 4G in D.C. whether it was HSPA+ or LTE.
Let's hope they are!

His reply was scoffing, therefore he gets one back. He can not point blank say he thinks the ops an idiot all he wants, but you can tell he thinks it in his post so IMO he may as well have said it. And again, only an absolute idiot would think the op meant anything other than Washington.

First of all, thanks for calling me an "absolute idiot". If you read my post, I clearly spelled out "Washington, DC." That's not the problem. The problem, as I already explained, is "DC 4g" by itself is vague. I was hoping for something related to DC-HSPA+ (a different type of 4G that's not LTE, but comparable in speeds), not DC the state. If I had knew that the post would be about DC the state, I wouldn't have clicked it, because I don't live anywhere near, or care about, DC the state. Heck, if you wrote "Possible 4g testing in DC", then that would solve it, and without insulting anyone's intelligence (See? Now I know what DC means!). Even better, tag it with "[Sprint]" so that those of us on Verizon or GSM carriers can ignore it! Fewer trolls in your thread, more happiness all around. Win-win.
TL;DR: I didn't like the thread title. If I were mod, I would edit it, but I'm not. Instead, I asked politely and get called a moron. Good job.

You should probably find something more important to gripe about other than the few seconds you lost looking at this. Your time can't be that valuable considering how much time you have put into griping about it. The mods likely have more important things to concern themselves with than your individual confusion.
As for Sprint 4g in DC, it's been in some parts for about 2 months now. Started around 14th & U and spread from there. Some in MD and VA around DC. Check out Sensorly.com and S4GRU.com for more information.

4G LTE finally in Seattle area!!

I'm browsing on my phone and noticed the notification icon said 4G instead of 3G today, thinking it's just a glitch since I flashed a new rom recently, I did a speed test to make sure. Sure enough, I'm getting over 16Mbps download speed. Finally!
Seattle area users rejoice we finally have it!

How bout taking the time to read all the threads starting from the top? You do know theres a sticky about lte where folks like yourself that gets excited about lte can share it there instead of making a new thread. Imagine everyone from each state and city making a new thread about them getting lte the forum would be all cluttered up just make sure u check out the threads first before making a new one its not that hard.
