I am really interested in knowing if the device will have a led for notification or only the side blinking edge foe some contacts.
I have the same question. Do we have the notification LED at all?? That is the most useful feature in Android phones.
yes...
I think I saw it on one of those hands on video.
Yes it does.

besides the phone having a screen? lol.. this question comes up every time a new phone comes out... out of my 10+ years using smartphones (at least 20 different phones) ive never seen a phone without a notification light. heck, even my v600 clamshell has one.

Thanks a lot ,this is one of the most important factors for me (after having a screen and the making phone calls thing),now hopefully the battery life would be good .

S6 edge sometimes miss it but it can display on going notifications on its your preferred edge either left side or right side. The black and white notifying will not effect to your battery life.

The newer Moto phones like Moto X and Droid Turbo do not have a notification light. They use "active display" that the whole screen lights up every 30 seconds or so if you have notifications. I prefer the old fashioned notification light myself.
I'm using a galaxy s2 right now with no notification led.
Glad s6 edge has it!

Hi Guys
I was curious to know whether there is an LED indicator on the S II (i had an atrix before, and kinda got used to the blinking LED for notifications.) . The captivate dint have it either. I wonder whether any of the samsung phones has this feature at all.

No, there isn't. But there'll be alternatives! There's already a topic on this with a few good replies.

Probably not...but you can use noled from the market

Although I did wish for some sort of a LED indicator, but wont miss it as I don't have it on the iPhone anyway.
Bln-control could be used..not as bright but still does the work.

I've turned it on, but have only seen the eye icon pop up a couple of times. Seems to time out still.
I haven't had much luck with it...I disabled it after about a day of trying it out.

I have had no luck with it in many different lighting situations : /
Maybe it doesn't like my glasses or something...
Seems to be more of a novelty, it works sometimes, but I think it has to be directly in front of you.
I have this smart stay on since I had the phone and never seen it work oh and I had the S3 since 6-21-12

It works fine with me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA
I just did another test with really good lighting for 5 minutes with a 30 second timeout and it did say on the whole time. I made sure to keep the phone still and be looking at it the whole time. I guess it can work, but under real life situations maybe it's not perfected yet...
It's worked flawlessly for me so far, even in relatively dim lighting. The eye ball icon should only turn on every X seconds (where X is the the timeout you set for the screen under settings). If your eyes are on the screen when the eye ball icon appears, the screen won't timeout.
After some testing, I've come to this conclusion about smart stay.
I put the timeout to 15 seconds so I wouldn't have to wait long for each test. After 10 seconds, I saw the eye icon appear, and then on the 15th second, it would appear again. The screen would only stay on if I looked directly at the front facing camera on the 2nd eye icon.
I tested it multiple times, just looking at the screen, looking at a website, reading a website and starring at the front facing camera. It only worked when I looked at the ffc when the eye icon appears. Other than that, it would just timeout like normal.
Has anybody else done any type of testing? This is a crappy feature if you have to stare at the ffc only when the icon appears to get it to work because if you might miss it if you're actually reading something on the screen.
Works well with me..

works fine here, actually, pretty well, my phone sits on my desk at work in a cradle at about the 10 o'clock position (my computer monitor being the 12 o'clock), i will open FB and leave it open, and smart stay works, while im looking at my computer monitor....i think it all depends on how well the software can differentiate your eye from the rest of your face, or if you wear glasses
I have a problem recently appeared in the colors of the screen when the status bar
They look darker than others, and be clear when I open a picture of one color such as red or white
What is the reason in your opinion ?! : (
I do factory reset/wipe

I have the same problem, it appears to be screen-burning : apparently some pixels are getting "bleached" by displaying the same color most of the time (i.e the status bar) -although on mine the strip looks clearer and not darker like yours, but it seems to be a common problem on AMOLED screens..
At such prices, it should be supposed to last longer than a year.. I'll try and necociate a replacement with my carrier as mine is still under warranty.
Yes, it's a Super AMOLED plus issue, it is reduced in Samsung Galaxy III because it's only Super AMOLED.
But this is so early... and I think it's not time for it to do so, something is really wrong with your screen, you go see customer service if you are still in warranty ASAP

I'm afraid you can't avoid it, since it's linked to the screen itself. Not unless you're willing to spend a lot of dough on spare SuperAMOLED+ screens and learning how to replace one yourself.. The only thing you can do is enable autorotation on your launcher(s) and not hold your phone the same position all the time (i.e. alternate between portrait and landscape. Personally I configure my CM9 so's it authorizes 180° rotations, so I can hold my phone upside down too -very convenient when reading webpages to avoid mistakenly hitting the back button too often. ).

Everybody should please read this about Screen burn-in
Everything you need to understand about it and its prevention is there.
I believe this will be useful for everyone and will help debunk some myths about the issue.
I've a zenwatch 2
Recently I've noticed that there is a shadow on the screen, to discover then that maybe some pixels have died !!!!!!!!!
I've returned to dev. options and find the screen burn in protection disabled, enabled it and after restart returned to the dev. options and it's disabled again.
Tried to snap some photos, you can notice the circle in the middle :S

Have you tried setting "Always On Screen" to off. I disabled ambient mode to save battery, but it ends up leaving the display on for no more than a few minutes a day. That should practically eliminate burn-in.
Mine has the same problem, nothing is working, I have no idea how to fix
OLED displays are prone to this. I have an old Galaxy S2 that I used as a desk clock for a while, and it now has a clock pattern burned into it that shows up on very light screens. Note that while the underlying cause of OLED burn in is different from CRTs, the effect is similar. The pixels are permanently dimmer because they are dying faster.
The only "fix" is to display a negative image for a while until the rest of the screen "burns in" to match, which might be some trick on a smart watch (and it's not easy on a phone), so it's probably just stuck there. Also, even if you eliminate the burn-in, all you have really done is shortened the life of the remaining pixels. I'd just choose a similar face that tends to hide the issue and move on.
The only solution is to not have a static image on the screen for very long. For watches, this means letting the display turn off instead of keeping it on all the time.

Thought it was a software problem

I had to send mine in for warranty repair. This started after about four months use, without the always on screen. I just got it back, it took them about two weeks, but they replaced the screen, and it's good as new. I was hoping they'd load it with Wear 2.0 before they sent it back, but no such luck.

Hi community, I'm new here and this is not my language (Argentina, spanish), so sorry if I write wrong.
I bought my phone in USA, it's the Verizon wireless griffin XT 1650-02.
The problem:
4 horizontal lines, that changes the size but don't disappear, when I change the bright settings..
I read people has this issue with their Samsung S7, and say that's hardware problem.
I don't have the possibility to get a replacement, it's too expensive for me.
Any suggestions?
Some S7 users reports that the lines where gone suddenly.
Thanks to all

I see. From the Googles looks like it's a hardware issue. Any chance of sending it back where you got it for replacement?
Usually shipping for RMAs the only PITA when dealing when I purchase stuff from the States
