spot on notification bar?

[viperpiper]

I noticed a small snowflake type spot on the notification bar. I was wondering if that was one of the sensors or something inside my lcd ? It doesn't
look like a dead spot on the screen. Does anyone else have this ?

Ive never noticed a "snowflake" can you take a screenshot of it?

It doesn't show up in a screenshot. I tried. I'll have to use a camera to take a picture of it.

Yeah definitely do that.. If its something in the status bar it should show up in a screenshot so it does sound like possibly a cluster of bad pixels but without a pic its hard to tell

If you are refering to the circle spot at the top left of your phone, I'm pretty sure its a sensor of some sort. I too have that, not visible like the others however, i have to be in bright light to be able to see it.

Cheers,

Here's a photo of the spot I'm talking about. It's hard to capture on camera but you can see it. Up close it looks almost like a snowflake. There's no scratch on the glass no dead pixels. I even used the dead pixel check app and on a pure white screen it there is no black pixels under it. That's why I'm wondering if it's one of the sensors built into the phone. When I have looked up the specs on the S4 nowhere do I see this mentioned as a sensor location.

As far as I know there aren't any sensors in the LCD... They're all above it.. If I had to guess I would say its a small spot of delamination.. The glass and digitizer are glued together on these phones as far as I know and it looks like it might be a weak spot of glue or an air pocket between the screen and digitizer

That looks like some sort of defect in the screen.

I haven't seen anyone else have that issue.. could it be that its dust caught between your screen protector and your phone?

That's definately not what I was referring to. Unfortunately it looks like you have some sort of digitizer or lcd defect.

There are no sensors in the screen. From the picture I would say it is dust. Either dust under your screen protector or inside the phone. An LCD can really only have dead pixels.
