Does anybody find the "Assistive Light" a little disappointing on this phone? Coming from the GS3 I can say that this phone's LED is little more than half as bright. Did the Note II have the same LED as this?
It flashes as bright as my s3 but yea it's dim so it could just be Sammy has it turned down but hopefully now that we have root that will be takin care of

Hi.
Im used to have a LED notification LED on my current phone, Nexus One and The old Magic.
I just purchased a S2 on eBay.
Is there a Notification LED on the S2?

I can't believe that they didn't put a LED on this phone either. It makes no sense.

Because you can't take your eyes off your phone, so a LED is useless
noled looks very nice
great to see NoLED working on the SII
I wonder how the new SAMOLED+ screen adjusts for battery savings with my app. I've seen through the videos that there are some screen brightness/color customizations that dynamically adjust to the image displayed on the screen.
I can't wait til I get my hands on this device.

It does look nice, until you notice that it drains your battery and keeps the phone warm to the touch since the screen is on the whole time when a notification is on the screen.
but since it has an samoled screen, i dont think that the whole screen is on, or not?
i thought a main advantage of BLACK on samoled screens is that the black pixels are OFF and only others need to be maintained with power?
Just use it and you'll see.

Yea it is said it works like this. But I can't imagine the black pixels consuming 0% power. Can't wait for my Sgs2 in two weeks!

if you also know what you're doing and configure the app right. you could make it consume absolutely no more power than without.

Isn't there a LED indicator on the front of the GSII? Look at 0:15 of the below video where it blinks while phone is booting up:

the black pixels don't use power, but the display controller still has to be powered on and that uses battery too

So on low brightness the whites seem a bit yellow. Can anyone confirm this?

Its a common problem, at 0% brightness white is a tad yellow but still its much better than having blue/green or pink tint.I've tested lots of S3's in various stores all shows same phenomenon so getting your set swapped wont solve any purpose.

Well even at high brightness settings it looks a bit yellow. When I tilt the phone it looks more white and when I tilt it back you can clearly see the white is a bit yellow.

Yes its a "Bit" yellow on low brightness but on high brightness mine is pure white, its common with AMOLED they are unable to attain LCD whites.However this doesn't bother me much because I'm used to it now, keep in mind its not an tint screen is tuned bit warmer.
Ahh so it isn't just me

You bet!
Well.. It even seems to be a pretty pink compared to the GS Plus. Both at full brightness.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I think it's configured this way because blue pixels expire the quickest in amoled screens </not expert opinion>.
In either case, past phones have been able to use color controls like supercurio's app to change the tint. (And, by then you might've gotten used to it anyway.)

Sorry couldn't resist lol. My Spell Wrecker does that too.
Does it matter which screen setting you have enabled in the Settings app or is it on all of them?

I just checked it against my Note and mine is pinkish. It isn't distinguishable when not doing the comparison though.

Stop comparing displays and enjoy your S3.
I didn't notice it before the comparison and I don't notice it now. Only during. It is a non issue for me
This phone is great. No complaints here.

For those of you, who already has it or flash it, do you still have pink spot presented?

If OP means with pink spot....the reddish hue in the middle of pictures....I have it too. Its driving me nuts. The pictures look axceptionally good....but in the middle there is a circular patch where the tones are slightly red. Its very slight effect...You have to really "search" for it. But as I have seen it now...I cannot NOT focus on it.
I don't have it.
Try take a picture on totally white background and you will notice the pink spot.

It's JELLY BEAN - B......E......A......N!
With all the rage going on about Jelly Bean at the moment you'd at least think we'd all get the name correct?
Phil
My opinion:
Its presented in all devices. Those of you who didnt have HTC HD2 where the problems started dont know what we are talking about. You must have specific condition for it. Its simply there, problably, I am starting to belive it simply must be like that. Thats the way how the lens are working unfortunatelly. None of software updates removed it (however, it might be possible, because when you change white balance, it can decrease the pink spot a lot). I hoped that Jelly B E A N will do that.. (

I hope so buddy. I find the LED notification to be extremely useful. Great not having to turn on the screen each time to see if you missed something. Just wished Samsung got more creative with the notification like LG did with the Optimus Pro.

What I meant about "more creative" was that LG decided to make the LED notification around the home button instead of a blinking dot on the device. As far as apps, Light Flow is definitely the way to go.

Go to Settings\Accessability and disable talk back or something similar. This features are for disabled people, dunno how you enabled it by mistake.

that's the proximity sensor, which you can't see with your naked eye but you can film it.
