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

Lol! No way!
How would a screenshot show a screen fault anyway?

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!
LOL
Welcome to Android and Congrats on owning the best MOBILE on the Planet EARTH
HAHA,
sorry too...
I LOL'd
I can imagine you discovering the Android wonders...
my gf just got her first Android coming from Nokia and she discovers something every 10 minutes...
Hopefully this isn't against the forum rules.
I'm looking for someone, I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 from you off Craigslist yesterday. We were supposed to meet up today so I could pick up the box and accessories but I realized now that you don't have a phone anymore, I don't know how to reach you. You gave me your XDA username in case I needed to reach you but I'm an idiot and forgot it.
If you see this, could you PM me so I could get the box, the case piece, the receipt, charger, and extra battery from you?
Thanks
LOL and good luck.
If he sold you the phone I doubt he's in these forums any more.
Hercules Hercules!!
Do a search for his name...lawl missed that you lost his name.
this is literally the good'ol "looking for a needle in a haystack"
good luck buddy
i hope you haven't pay him yet
Yep, hope you didn't pay yet. Sounds like you hv the phone already though?

Lol, well, I paid him already.
But I do already have the phone, and the case, and the extra screen protector.
The box/receipt/extra part for the case/USB charger/extra battery seems like a weird thing to rip someone off over.
Heh, maybe I'll wait until tomorrow before I go nuts. From his XDA user name I found his Twitter and Google Plus accounts and contacted him on all of them. He's pretty active on XDA.
On the downside, he did mention when I met him yesterday he was leaving the country on Saturday....
On the other downside, he did mention on his Twitter dropping his phone and it slipping under the wheel of a car right before I bought it from him....
Lol. You're kidding right?

If there's one silver lining to my situation, I suppose it's that it seems to be bringing joy to the people of this thread.
Sadly, everything I stated is true.
Wow, this story just gets better and better. Lucky for you, you can always do a warranty exchange if something is wrong with the phone.
Good luck!

ahaha classic man! >.< well atleast all is well then. XD
Even though he sold you his phone, didn't he keep his sim card? his number should be unchanged...... unless he just totally went off the radar and decided he didn't need a cell phone anymore or switched providers without porting the number.
I saw this pop up on Google Now. I've never seen it before and haven't heard anything about it. I guess it's keeping track of how far you walk kind of like a pedometer. Anyone else seeing this?
Same here. Popped up today. Could not find more info.

Great find! What's interesting is that Google has been tracking how much you walk since late September. Did you by any chance just get your device/factory reset it then?
Featured it in a post here
Lets hope we get some more details about it soon.
It appears to use latitude to track your location history.

I had Latitude on for a little while... but I dunno, something just seemed a bit creepy about it so I disabled it a couple months ago. I am not seeing this pop up.
Yeah i also got it since yesterday

Here's mine. Walking distance may be right, can't say for sure, I walk a lot. But it also says I cycled 11 miles in October. Funny thing is, I don't even own a bike.
No bike here either, still says 1 mile for me
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
So you guys turn the gps on all time and let it track you?
Doesn't it drain battery?
I think it just works if you have enabled location history, without keeping GPS on.

I was at a mall today and right before the exit, I saw an advertisement for the GS3. What was unique about it was that it told you to hold up your own GS3 next to the one in the advertisement (as if you were beaming with it) to receive a free music download.
I wasn't so amazed by the technology as much as I was amazed that it worked on the first try... and it front of my iPhone-loving friends too!
Unfortunately the song I received was Some Nights by Fun., but still awesome.
Has anyone else encountered these ads?

The ad had an embedded NFC tag. You can buy tags and program them yourself to do stuff like that. The tags are cheap and the apps to program them are free.

As I said, it wasn't the technology that impressed me, it was the fact it worked.

Why wouldn't it work?
I am guessing you aren't using the stock battery. If you a buy a backup or larger battery, always make sure it says either in the product description or item itself that it is NFC enabled.

Because technology seems to never work for me when I'm trying to show it off to friends.
I figured I'd have to toggle a few settings or something, but I was happy with the immediate results. (Luckily I do keep NFC on, if I hadn't, I assume nothing would have happened.)

You don't get an email confirmation, its just a waiting game after you place the order.
This is so cool of Samsung. I've been wanting to try out some NFC tags for a long time now. Can't wait till my stuff gets here
