The track pad had a very dim red light in it when you wake the phone youll see it, its nothing like a notification in the center right side... Just questioning what it is and if we can get to it :/
once you see it youll always see it
I had no idea there was a light in there...ive noticed the red tint to it in some lights but assumed that it was something to do with the touch sensors

Yea the corner by genius button is just like yours.
I havent noticed a light on the trackpad tho. I even looked around for an app or something to activate it. No luck tho....
its not a light... its a dark red lens that covers the optical trackball... there is no (visible) light what so ever in there... you just held the phone at a odd angle in the right light...
go look at any other optical TB if you dont believe me...they all have a dark red hue (regardless of the battery status on the phone)
unplug phone from charger, pull battery and look closely, it'll still be red, and without power nothing could possibly be "lighting up"

i wasnt saying it was like a led its just a dim light thats behind it which looks red because of the cover on the trackpad... but seeing that made me question if there was a notification light down there like on the nexus one's trackball for instance
There is definitely a light on mine. I see it every time I wake the screen.

i though it may just be light from the menu button peeping through but itll do it when the keys arnt lite up :/ hopefully its an led and we can get it brighter for notifications cus that'd be sick (thats one thing i would of liked how the g2 has it going around the pad)
Afaik the only light down there is infrared... if you can see it you got some sick ass eyes, or the lens on the trackpad is somehow reflecting the light or something... but like I said turn the phone off and pull the batt and I still see a faint red hue in the trackpad...

There is definitely a light in there that illuminates for a brief moment towards the left hand side of the button when you wake up the phone with the track pad. It is no reflection of the infrared, it's a light. Do it in a completely dark room and it will be obvious.
I don't have this at all. If it's a light, it would certainly be more obvious, no? How could a light be so dim?
I noticed this last night when I was cleaning my phone. It is definitely a dim red light.

lol u got some sick ass eyes
Yeah definitely seeing it now too once it has been pointed out. It's more in the left center of my track pad.
I think it's just the trackpad sensor light, similar to the laser light under your optical mouse.
I don't see it doing anything but registering where your finger moves.

What is this for? I can't even figure out why it comes on exactly. It's not coming on as a notification light, not when docked with zune, seems like it only comes on sometimes when I plug in. It's around one of the sensors, and it's just bugging me that I can't figure out what it's for.
When you plug in what?
My charger, but I can't be certain. I know I've seen it light up, a red circle around the round sensor, but it's rare and random. No big deal, just curious ya' know?

Around what sensor
I haven't see any lights in my focus. Can you take a picture?
I think you are talking about the proximity sensor
yeah I believe it's the proximity sensor. It's whatever one is closest to the speaker. I can try to take a picture, I just don't know exactly what triggers it so it'll be kinda hard. It's a ring around the sensor, lights up red. I was really hoping it was a notification light, but alas, MS did not give us one.

Ha ha...too funny. We have all been lobbying for years to have LED's taken off of phones as battery drains and sure enough once somebody does, the complaints come in "Where is my red LED?"
I suppose that the only option is to make the phones with the LED's and then have a setting to turn LED notifications off. Those never seem to really work though.

now that you mention it....back in my nextel days, I sure hated that little blinking light. Especially at night in the car. hmmmmmmm...
Hi guys, when my notification light blinks blue at night, if I am in a dark room the whole entire face lights up. It has a skeletal look to it. I like it though
Too bad I can't capture this feature/flaw using my wife's phone camera.
Does anyone else with the white .GS3 have the same thing happening to theirs?
Press thanks if I helped you!!!!

I haven't heard of this, but if you can graphically document this, then by all means! That sounds really cool, blue-skeletal look!
Yeah, it's called light spreading
tapatalked from galaxy s3
It does the same thing with the menu/back lights as well, personally I think its awesome
Also noticed how the LED light never flashes while the display is on, Samsung discovered that having both on at once will mean the LED washing over the display?
yup does it with my white S3 , and yeah i actually like it too

Only time I've seen it is when you shut it down, the led goes on

Noticed this myself last night, does indeed look pretty decent.
The back cover is no no for me, looking into getting something to cover it. I like the white front though.
Skeleton phone ? That's epic I need decals on it!
That's a really cool effect! It's a defect that is when they are not glued probably. It's a bonus effect I'd like to have.

It looks cool those bottom back lights, light up the entire front white frame slightly

You must not have seen a white SGSII then, my Skyrocket does the same thing and I love it, had to pre-order the SGSIII for that reason and about 100 more!
Hi, today I've noticed that I have light black circle around notification led, size is approx. 5mm. Does anyone have the same problem?
Here's picture i46.tinypic.com/rlgpk8.jpg
Everyone got it, it's part of the design
Sorry but the circle wasn't there when I bought it. It appeared when the led was shining all night
it's normal

It was there when you bought it; you just didn't notice it. It's normal.

Honestly when I bought the GN (very similar form factor) I didn't even know a Notification LED existed until I saw a light blinking.
It has always been there. Just easier to see when the LED is on or under bright lights.

How to solve it? Thanks everyone.
Settings-display-turn off notification light.
Oh, it is not always light, but a little light.
I think you need to elaborate a little bit, not really sure what you are experiencing. Do you have a camera so you can take a photo of what you are seeing?
Yeah, could you take a photo to make yourself clearer please? I can't tell if you mean a small amount of light (i.e. the backlight of the display is still on) or a physically little light (i.e. the notification LED).
But no problems in the day, the problem is happens at night, when I lock my screen, there is little light on my screen, I fell worried. I can't take a photo, because photos can't press the problem. the problem is happened when all the lights have turn off.

So are you saying that your screen stays on when you try to lock it? Do you mean that the backlight always stays on and you only notice this issue when it's all dark?
How is your battery life? If your screen stays on I'd expect your battery to not last very long...
Still confused about your particular situation though
Oooh light bleed? Mine has one visible when booting on google loading screen

I think he's talking about that light when you press the power button. The transition effect. It looks like when you power off the TV. The old TV with the big butt.

But he says it's only happening at night... a power-off CRT animation would happen all the time
A quick look on the forum page and you can sort of tell this guy "skyme" is trolling for entertainment purposes. This post claims there is a light when you lock the screen at night, and his other post asks whether he can run Gingerbread 2.3 on his nexus 4.
Quit trolling and get a job buddy

Light bleed shouldn't be too much of a concern, because most of the time your screen will not be black and you will not be in complete darkness so the "problem" shouldn't be noticeable.
You are right. But it is really a problem. And thanks all the same.
Seems on the far right at the top of the phone, the Iris Scanner's blue light or whatever is always on. It's almost like a notification light that never turns off. Anyone else seeing this?

Makes sense as it's an IR camera, reflective coating to reject most visible light.

Thanks. It's the one thing about the phone I do not like. Its quite reflective and distracting while looking at the screen.
I must admit I didn't notice this last night when inside, however when I used it this morning in daylight it is pretty blue. Quite annoying really but I suppose I will get used to it
i have been having the same issue with the light blue light. its not the lens or reflection either. most of the time its on and hurts my eyes if i look at it to long. that or maybe its just big brother watching 24/7. haha
