I searched to see if there was a fix for this but wasn't able to find one so I hope someone can help out.
When I scroll up and down on web pages I occasionally get the dark bars on the sides that would indicate that you're at the end of the page even though I'm not scrolling left or right. I've tried different angles to swipe the page to see if I can reproduce it but it seems to be random.
Does anyone else notice this? Is there a way to turn that feature off since it doesn't seem to be working properly.
Thanks
You will start to notice it less and less.

that is the special effect build into the ROM, if you install other ROMs that has it disable you wont see it
in CM7 it's optional to turn on/off
Does anyone know how to fix the problem whereby the screen's sensitivity gets worse the longer the screen stays on? Some obvious problems of this are missed keys on the keyboard while typing. Others have looked into this and have been able to properly assert that sensitivity worsens as the screen stays on longer, for some reason.

Something I discovered.
If you change the long press for home to be recents, the problem still persists.
If you access the recents screen but press back, the bug won't show in whichever app is already open until you go back home.
Hi guys, few days ago I was using my Galaxy Nexus when a strange white dot came out on the left side of the notification bar. It appears and disappears with apparently no reason and, if you try to open the notification menù while it shows it, there are absolutely no notifications related to this strange symbol.
When you close the notification menù, it reappears and then goes away without any interaction.
Today I discovered that I can reproduce this kind of "notification" by opening the Clock app and then touching twice the screen to reduce the backlight and to raise it back.
Anyone knows what's that?
Here's a screenshot:
That is a Google Now Card Notification, just pull down your Notification Bar, and swipe it away, it'll get rid of the dot.

I never noticed that. That dot looks VERY faint. My Google now notifications look different IIRC.

Thanks for answering but that's not related to Google now and when I pull down the notification menu there's nothing showing.
Any other ideas?
Run addon detector from the market. I think you downloaded an app with push notifications.

Well that is odd then. Puzzling. Every time that dot appears for me, it is due to the fact that I have a Google Now notification. Try a Task Manager to see what app is open, and when you close it, see if the dot continues to appear.

Thanks for the smart suggestions. I'll try both the solutions and reply! :good:

I just saw this same exact dot today. I was watching a full-screen video with an embedded YouTube link. The 3 soft buttons went into "discreet" mode and turned into 3 pale dots. All the notifications on the notification bars all turn into a single pale dot like this as well.

Did anyone ever figure out what this was?
I had this show up on a Nexus 7, playing a YouTube video in full screen made it go away so I'm guessing as stated above it has something to do with video controls hiding or something.
Is it related to SIP VoIP accounts? IIRC that's about what it looks like when connected, except green. Did you try to set something up there and it's showing that faint white dot to show it's not connected?
Mine is a blue dot and I recently found out what it was hehe
Same here, on my Nexus4. I can make it pop up at any time by tapping on any picture to hide notification bar and buttons and then tapping again to show them back (in my case it works every time i hide and show buttons, no matter which app im using - gallery, video player, youtube, etc). That white dot then pops up. Sometimes it stays for only a fraction of a second, sometimes for half a minute, and then just disappear, whether i open the notification bar or not. My guess it's just some weird FW flaw (besides, this dot looks just like these white dots indicating hidden buttons).
Any news? I have it using different roms, I assume it is something app related...
Eureka !!!
Had this dot with the fading lines. Noticed the dot disappeared right when I updated an installed app on Play Store (first it was replaced by the downloading arrow and then disappeared completely)
If you have this dot, check for apps' updates. You probably have at least one...
*Noticed it's a two years old thread just after posting... sorry
Confirmed for me

some apps you guys are opening have GPS related features, such as the photo apps ability to give you the location in which the picture was taken. When the dot appears for me, I turn off location (GPS) and it disappears every time. Hope my experience helps someone! If anyone still needs it :highfive:

I haven't seen this in a little while but I thought it was related to google now weather (they've since updated that icon to be clouds and whatnot)
I can also see this small white transparent dot on the top left corner of notification area it appears on my phone mostly when I check my whatsapp shared media images from whatsapp, I just attached a screen shot here,no idea which application responsible for this dot :silly:
For me it was the "Ok google" setup that i started, then interrupted. Once i went back into the "Ok google" detection setup under "Voice" and finished setting it up, the notification disappeared.
First the one handed operation, I try to disable it by unchecking the option but dor some reason it just continues to default to one handed operation while im typing.
Second issue is the default program option, I check always and go to applications manager but im unable to add always to a particular operation, like instragram, ie, twitter. Any help would be great.

Have you rebooted your GN2? I had a problem where the default launcher choice wouldn't stick until after I rebooted.

Try rebooting your phone, is your keyboard showing full-screen at all? It has two multi-touch gestures built in that can not be turned off, and poorly implemented to boot. Pushing your thumbs together from the outside edge to the middle will turn on one handed mode. Then from middle with two fingers/thumbs out to edge of the screen will put it back into full-screen mode. Most of the time this only happens to me when I'm typing, not when I'm showing off the feature. :silly:
How did you get your the phone launcher to stick?

Because I tinker with several launchers, I find it easiest to just use the Home Switcher app (free on Google Play).
I don't remember for sure how I got my preferred launcher to "stick", though. I may have gone into Settings/Application Manager/All, scrolled-down and opened "TouchWiz Home" and pressed the Clear Defaults button. Then rebooted. After that, Home Switcher seemed to work as intended.
I was gonna start a thread.. but I'll bring it here, i decided to use the auto screen brightness it didn't last to long.. the screen on auto seems to change brightness allot.. but with auto brightness off its fine... does anyone have issues with auto brightness on?? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889
The Galaxy S1 was the same way. I never use auto brightness.
I had an issue pop up about 5 days ago that I haven't been able to find any help about so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. When touching the top of my screen from about mid-screen all the way to the left edge half the time it won't recognize my input now. The status bar still expands so the issue is starting right below that. Alot of times when I am trying to use a back button on the top left corner or type an address into the web browser etc the screen will not register my touch at all. Maybe 1 out of 30 taps it will work but this is baffling me. I have tried fresh rom installs and switching keyboards/apps but that doesn't do anything. Could it be screen calibration or the screen going bad?
the easiest way I can explain this issue and consistently replicate it is if I take an app on the home screen and long press and try to drag it to the "remove" trashcan, about the time I get to the trash can the app will jump above the trashcan.
