Yellow dot

When I double tap on the phone while it is closed I see the clock. Sometimes there is a little yellow dot. What does that indicate?

hard to say......is the phone awake when you double tap? where are you tapping? do you have a custom launcher?

would be nice if you can get a screenshot of the yellow dot.

I am tapping on the little rectangular area that shows when it is closed. I just double tap and the clock comes up. The yellow dot shows up in the left side of that rectangle.
I'd love to take a screenshot of it to show you. How do I do a screen shot with the phone closed?

if you go into the advanced settings>scroll down to motions and gestures>toggle on the "palm to swipe to capture"

now you can use the side of your palm and swipe across the screen to capture a screenshot. there is no need to fumble around to find the correct buttons to push. been using this feature for years. it is very convenient.

and again this yellow dot is on a widget? or on the lockscreen? again a screenshot would really help.
