I've been hunting and hunting to find out more information and I thought perhaps the geniuses at XDA might be able to help.
It was an electronic organizer wayy wayy back in 1996 or 1997. I'm thinking it was Sharp, but don't lock me on that. It had a color (tri-color) screen on the top flap, left side. The home screen featured a desk with a window towards the right hand side of the screen and you can scroll through the functions as they were different "icons" on the desk (calendar on the wall, etc). Bottom flap was a QWERTY keyboard. Top flap right side, I believe was a number pad. I think there was a directional pad on the bottom flap towards the middle back. Entire case/hardware was taupe. I'm finding a lot of the B&W versions, but none of the color one.
Any help?
I have a large icon on my android screen, it's a photo, and I was wondering if it's possible to map something like four shortcuts to it. so for example, if I press the top left hand corner, one app will open, wheras the top right, bottom left and bottom right will open others?
Cheers

I just had a question about my notification bar having these weird artifacts on it. I doubt it's the display since it shows on the picture I posted. Any ideas or suggestions as to what it might be?

That slightly lighter area with AT&T on it and the line under it? That's the bottom of the "window shade" - the notification pulldown. You can push the notification pulldown back up from there.

Unfortunately not quite. I was referring to those two light Grey lines on the very corner of the pull pull down bar.

They just mark the space between them where there might be more information sometimes. It is normal.

Explain this please, because they're two crooked barely visible lines. I don't see how this could be normal or even what it means. And although your response seemed educated I have no idea what your talking about so that doesn't really help.
There's nothing really visible in your picture, even when I fully exppand it. The arrow seems to be pointing to the top line. So I put on my reading glasses and my 20X magnifier (the one I use for working on microcircuits) and looked at my screen. Nothing there but the top line, an area slightly less dark than the area above the line and the bottom line. If your eyes are really that much better than mine, I can borrow a good microscope from the university and look at a pixel level, but I think what you're seeing is an artifact or dirt.

Just to make sure we are on the same page here. To me it looks like your crude arrow is pointing to the thin grey line that runs across the lower part of the screen above the bolder line. There is also one at the top that is very thin like maybe 2 or three pixels at most. These are the the top and bottom boarders for the information area of the pull down. If you get a text or an app wants to upgrade you can slide the bar down and the information about the text or the app and other information will appear between the two very tiny thin lines.
At all other times there is just a big dark void area between these lines.
Now if your image is showing something else then only you can see it because as stated by another poster we see nothing out of the ordinary for any Android phone running this version of Android in that screen image.

You may even have to as far as full brightness in a dark room. And I know it's the software because it's in the image not the lcd. I meant to circle it as well but I guess I missed that but I understand this device. I'm quite tech friendly myself so I understand how the notification bar design is. I'm not referring to the gray line that turns blue when you touch it and I'm not talking about any of the bar dividers. Nor the message and download center. I mean right in the corner there's too glitch like hash marks that actually slide up and down with it. Under the lighting I posted up there you should see it without a doubt. Also stretching the image to scale of your screen help you see it as if it was your pull down bar. Once someone sees it the hopefully we can determine what it's culprit is.

It's definitely there my wife even saw it. You may even have to as far as full brightness in a dark room. And I know it's the software because it's in the image not the lcd.

I mean right in the corner there's too glitch like hash marks that actually slide up and down with it. I even pisted a screenie while moving it up and it travels with it as if its part of the notification bar. But i also know a glitch when i see obe. Under the lighting I posted up there you should see it without a doubt. Also stretching the image to scale of your screen help you see it as if it was your pull down bar.

20X head mag + 10X mag swingup. Dark room. Full brightness. Nothing.
If could be an artifact on your LCD.
I could not see anything on my phone but when I looked at it on my pc I could see what I think he is talking about. There are actually three lines that I see running on a slant, one of the lines runs through the "AT&T" on the bottom of the screen.
I think I see it too. Its so faint I had to zoom in just to see the pixel differences. Id reccomend a facotry reset, and if the issues persistent, perhaps a ROM install, and if not, a warranty exchange.

I wish I could believe that, but why does the artifact travel with the notification bar as I pull it back up and away? And that spot/issue doesn't appear anywhere else on the screen and also it doesn't appear on the same spot screen wise as to where it ends up on the notification bar. This can't possibly make any sense to an lcd. Lol. Any suggestions? And I apologize that you can't see it. It's just a photo you should see it. It shows up on any device viewing the image.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you were able to. What I don't understand is I've never in my years of experience with these devices I've never ever seen an image issue like that that actually moves with the bar as if it's a part of it. I've tried resets to no avail. And if it was hardware you'd see it one everything of that color in that same spot but it doesn't have a designated spit other than the Corner of that notification bar. Strange and I'm at a loss of words. And Romming isn't an option, this device has too many security features to warrant a trial and error theory just to see.
I keep trying and failing to make what I want so I've come here in desperation. Basically I want 4 buttons aligned horizontally on the bottom of the screen (That I'll program later) with a rectangle with a small height that covers the screen horizontally that moves from top to bottom when you start the app. If anyone can help me code that I would greatly appreciate it because I ran out of ideas.
What do you have so far?
In for example Nova launcher the navbar is transparent and shows your wallpaper all the way from the bottom of the screen to the top. Sure the cutout hole is visible but I never minded the cutouts on phones.
So if the cut out was visible in All apps that would be something I want. Just as if you zoom a YouTube video to cover the whole screen and the cutout shows.
Or.. alternatively, if there was a way to minimize/push the navbar upwards to slim it a bit, it also would be a good compromise.
Nothing like that around?
The problem I have is all the higher quality bumper cases have raised edges so your finger catches on the edge as you swipe up so you dont always register a swipe, this is a major floor with this option so I've had to go back to having the buttons showing all the time, problem with this is they are only transparent on the main screen, therefore you cant get full screen anymore with buttons showing, this is a big fail, hope Samsung realize this and fix it.
