Notification LEDs

hello,
i was wondering what are the two blue-ish LED like things on the nexus one in the upper left corner of the black screen contour. The one on the right is amber/green for charging status, but i don't have a clue on what the other two are for.

It's not the LED in the top right.
But on the top left, there are two circles for light and proximity sensors. They are literally impossible to see unless you're in really really, extremely bright sunlight.
I just tried searching for pictures/video but wow, I'm giving up. Even more impossible looking for a picture of them on the internet
[Edit]: Found one in the user guide!

oh wow i never even knew there was anything ontop besides the status haha

i live in south florida and pretty much anytime i walk outside lately i get to see the sensors. Theres 2 little holes under the screen for the sensors on the upper right as the picture shows. and just as it's been said, you need a lot of pure sunlight to see them.
Which, in the florida summer, is not hard to come by.

I'm with you on this.. I live south in Florida as well. I see those things so often, they are really just "there" now. I research everything I like a lot anyways, I know what they were without having to second guess it.

Possible production fault - Sawdust or cuttings behind display

Hello everyone,
when I got my SGS3 I was very excited. However, I noticed a possible production fault with the display, and I kindly ask any other SGS3 owner to check, whether this affects your phone as well.
Here is what's wrong:
When the you are in a dark environment (e.g. in your bedroom, reading in bed with your lights out - that's when I noticed it) and display a black image (most conveniently displayed with a display test app for example Screen Test - no outside links allowed for me, yet. Just look for it in the play store. It needs no rights and should have no strings attached ;-)).
Once your eyes have adjusted to the darker environment light, you will notice, two things:
a) the 'black' of the SGS3 is - by far - not as black as it was back on the SGS2. It looks much more greyish to me, as you see somehow kind of a back lighting. Don't know why you can see this, as I always thought AMOLED does not need such a thing, but anyway.
but much more importantly:
b) you see (at least that's what can be seen on my phone) little black (they are really black, in contrast to the display) 'snakelike' or 'wormlike' formed rubbish behind the display, which looks to me like sawdust or cuttings. Definitely a fault from production, though.
As I am not equipped with a good camera I am unfortunately not able to provide any photos (remember, it has to be dark in order to see 'through' the screen).
Can anyone confirm he has - or hopefully for you - has not these kind of problems?
The only good thing is, that the 'worms' are only visible in very rare circumstances. But now that I know that they are there, I always look out for them. And that is really annoying .

Like this?

If yes then you're not alone everything related should be in this thread. If something else, try to snatch a picture of it or reproduce it in Photoshop

Thanks, exactly like that. Didn't find it with the search function though. Thread can be closed, I guess

Cuz you're using the wrong terminology.
Those are often referred to around here as "blobs".
Skyrocket and Hercules (both GSII) are full of them.
But when ICS leaked for Skyrocket, it made the dark grey more black and it became harder to see the blobs, though they are obviously still there.
It never bothers me. But when I got a warranty replacement phone for a different issue, I noticed it had a lot less blobs on it than the first phone did.

look at the difference in color of buttons "1" and "0" .
Does anyone have screen that have same color on the sides of the keyboard ? if u do please take a picture of it in low light room with minimum brightness.

This is not an "issue" no screen is perfect. You will have VERY SLIGHT discoloration here, while other will have it there or not at all. If you don't understand this, you will be annoyed by yourself always seeing that slight default

i want to sell it . And the question is - does anyone have perfect screen on note3 ? So i should buy another note3 or other device ...

perfect screens dont exist. Perfect cars dont exist, perfect people dont exist. Perfection doesn't exist.
I can say that i have a perfect screen, but then again, i wasn't looking for an imperfection like some members here tend to do. I'm sure if I start looking for one, I might find one, but whats the point? Unless you have a dead pixel, or distortion, its not this TINY difference in tint under the right lighting conditions thats will prevent you from selling it full price

Camera Scenes Comparison

Hi!
I know that Official KK is gonna be available soon for our phone, so I was thinking about small comparison of all camera modes, before and after KK.
I have latest official available soft(Non Network carrier phone/Spain): 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 no root or any modifications.
Images are taken in full res without stabilization(Normal Mode of course).
Time: 18:00.
Sun is a bit behind left side of building, but still visible in the sky(that had few clouds) so we have nice neutral ambient light.
For now images from 15m distance, I'm gonna upload also images from 2-3m but that later.
I cropped images in place when we can see hard for camera scene full of high contrast black-white(bike) but also red colored trunk of the car, and a bit of green on top(small but still). Bike have loots of details so its easy to compare how every camera mode modify scene.
PS I had Polish language set in my phone so I don't know if English names of each scene modes are good :]
PPS I know that some of you think that its not needed, but looking at this images you can also see how every mode modify image so its good to remember if you looking for quick setting up camera
Because of big file I cant upload it to forum so here is external link to image(if you have problems viewing it click HERE):

In this week I try making this 2-3m images comparison in good lighting so we gonna have all camera modes in most common scenes :]

Hmm not sure if that was a good idea.
You should have done the images now.
To compare it it would need to be on the same day, with the same light with KitKat and Jellybean.
You most likely not gonna have the exact same lightning when KitKat gets officially released
But a nice idea anyways. :good:

Man, you did a really great job. You're my hero

Dont worry about that is almost summer now in Spain. Every day is the same: Hot like hell, sun in the same spot, few clouds in the sky. :]

Misaligned Camera

Hi, the inside camera in my new S6 Edge+ from UAE (G928C) is misaligned Well it looks like it. I have attached a picture for your opinions. Is this a defect? So far after taking 3 or 4 pictures the quality is good as expected.

Mine is the same. Probably isnt supposed to be that way. Minor cosmetic issue. No,way effects functionality.

Yup. Same here.

Same here. Maybe its intentional? Either way my pics come out great so no worries....

we all have that. relax

The camera has hardware image stabilization in such the lens is supposed to be free moving. If you shake the phone you can hear it rattle. Start the camera app again and shake it, rattle is gone. This is due to a floating design that can move the lens to counter your movement so motion blur is reduced and is especially noticeable in lower light conditions when shutter speeds grow longer.

You are absolutely right. One can try shaking the camera in selfi posture and notice that camera hole alignment changes with phone positioning.
