Phantom White Dot

[JohnnyBravo1000]

I noticed something recently after flashing a custom ROM. Initially I thought it may have been ROM related, but it's been noticed on stock FroYo on some phones.

When you bring up the stock "messages" application, you will notice there is a split second before "all messages" appears at the top of the screen.

Just before "All Messages" appears, there seems to be a white dot where the "g" and "e" of "Messages" is displayed. It's a tiny dot, and it occurs in a split second.

It's not a dead pixel, and appear on anything else - eg. Mail. Yet nobody seems to know why it's there on some phones and not on others. I can only assume it's something to do with it not loading properly.

I've got it on my HTC Desire rooted with LeeDroid Custom ROM
Doesn't bother me though, I use handcent

I don't have it on mine. I'm running 2.29.405.5 debranded stock firmware and I've never noticed any issues before. I tried turning the phone off/on to see if it has to do with first loading, and still no phantom dot, just the regular letters.

Well, what do you know

Never noticed that before, don't think I'll be losing too much sleep over it though, especially as I use Handcent.

T-Mob branded, stock FroYo.

Couldn't see it yesterday. Just opened the messages app today and spotted it, but won't do it any more. Not a problem. I'm just saying....

So it's not just you JB1000!

Not on my LeeDroid rom (no themes other than circle battery). Have you tried flashing a theme?

We were secretly thinking that JB was having issues......seeing white dots 'n all, but he's got his credibility back (with me at least! )

Hi all,

Bit of a noob, so this might not be much help !!!!

If I open messages from the shortcut in the 'all apps' folder, I see the white dot, however if I open messages from the button on the HTC widget on one of my homepages, I do not see any white dot!

Rooted with Leedroid_2.3d

Hope that this is of some help.

Speak to you soon.

bishy.
