Why does the location indicator blink when I turn on my screen? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Ever time I turn on my screen the little location indicator blinks in the top left hand corner next tot he ATT. Is this normal?

I think it is your weather widget.

Curiousity about a status light

I was curious every other HTC phone i've had (e.g.) MDA, Dash......Is there a status light on the Fuze I notice that in the left corner of the earpiece there is something that looks like a light?
That depends on what you mean with status light.
The ring around the "enter" key give an indication about missed calls, appointments or whatever.
thats the light sensor for dynamic backlight ajusting
I mean status light as in it blinks green when you have service, red when you have no service, or green and blue when you have service and wifi connected
No such light on the TP. You will have to check the screen for that.
The light sensor is indeed located at the top of the phone, next to the opening for the speaker. Try it by setting light to automatic and cover the sensor by hand. You'll see the light intensity of the display change.
Thank you....Just a feature I miss

[Q] screen issues

i been having problems with screen meaning everytime i am out during the daytime i can not see my screen what so ever. i was wondering if there is anyway to fix that? is there any apps i can download?
I installed a Widget called Brightness Level (free!) and assigned it to a Jump Key (Jump-X is what i used)
When it is pressed as a widget from a home screen, a pop-up appears with 0%, 25% 50%, 75%,. 100%, & Auto along with a slider-bar to set the screen brioghtness percentage.
Pressing the Jump key brings up the same app. the widget also shows the current setting percentage.
...using the Jump screen allows you to easily access the app even when the screen is completely dark.

any screen will do this in sunlight, turn your brightness to max by swiping your finger from left to right on the status bar and there are also anti glare screen protectors that cedll phone shops sell that may help
I have heard of that tip, but it only seems to work about 1/4 of the time (unless I am really bad at the whole swiping thing) that is why I set up the keyboard shortcut instead which works 98% of the time (assmuing the active program isn't stuck/frozen)

Swiping only works if "Auto" is off, you can also just long touch a spot on the notification bar ;-) ex, left, middle, right or anywhere in between. this seems to work better than swiping for me.
Hope this helps.
you can also just got to settings>display>brightness, uncheck automatic, and adjust brightness that way. you can also assign a jump key shortcut to settings>display, as i just did. that pretty much eliminates the need for a widget.

Pull down screen

SOrry if this question is redundant...
But from the home screen, when you pull down, you see teh connection status, with 3 small circles on the bottom. Music, DND, and brightness.
Is there any way to add more icons to this page?
Thanks

Double tap to wake notification light....

I just got this device, and I love it, but every time I double tap to wake the screen, the notification light blinks. Doing the weird clock swipe down when the screen is off does the same thing, but turning on the screen from the power button doesn't. It's pretty annoying because I don't even have a notification when it happens. Does anyone know how to disable the damn light from blinking without totally turning off the notification light?
On my LS996 all it does is one long slow "blink" that lasts about 1 second when I DT2W or do the slide to see notifications. I can't really imagine it causes that much grief and I doubt it can be disabled; it's a way of letting you double-confirm the action you're trying to accomplish I think: it lights to let you know it's recognized the touch and it goes from there.

What is this icon please?

To the left of the battery icon, just above the date. It has me stumped.
No SIM inserted.
Ah thankyou. I had searched high and low before posting here.
As long as we're on this topic, I never understood what the leftmost icon in this notification area is.
It looks like a watch and it's related to display, but the circle in the middle is sometimes white and sometimes black or transparent,
but what do these 2 states mean ? Did someone figure it out ?
It is "Theater mode" when brightness is set to "Auto". Press to put the watch in theater mode.
To expand on the previous post, it means that your tilt to wake etc is disabled so your screen is permanently off. The only way to cancel it is to press one of the hard buttons.
Icon is not SIM PIN code not inserted too.
