I just updated to 6.1.2 yesterday. In the messages app, for both iMessages and texts, I see a small dot to the very left of the input bar, right next to the cursor. I don't see this on my ipad... Just wondering if anyone else has this on their iPhone 5 as well? It doesn't bother me, Im just curious, but I could've sworn I've never seen that before the update.

Do not have this either. It must have some to do with your jailbreak.

That's what I'm thinking. I was looking at the screenshot and at first couldn't figure out what (besides the black dot) was wrong with the image... couldn't put my finger on it. Then I realized the system font has been changed.
 
Thanks everyone for your responses. It looks like its only present in "Messages" and no other apps. How weird.

Good eye! I agree, it must have something to do with the latest evasi0n JB. Maybe the folks in the JB subforums will know where it came from.

Poor guy. Looks like a dead pixel.

That's actually what I thought it was at first, but then I noticed it wasn't present in any other apps, AND a dead pixel wouldn't show up in a screenshot. Oh, and it stays in the input box when the keyboard is minimized.

If I were you I'd be more concerned about that red circle on your screen... :eek: lol jk

Mine does not have this either
 
Hmm seeing its in your text box I try going back to your stock font. It may be the Neutra face (looks like what you have) I've had issues with that font on mine in the past but on a iPhone 4.

Actually, the dot disappeared on its own just a few minutes ago. Go figure... I was having a lengthy iMessage conversation with a buddy, and halfway through, the dot magically disappeared! So... problem solved, it seems. :D

Oh and yep, it's NeutraFace. :)
 
Had that dot too. I tought it was a softwarebug, so I reinstalled all the tweaks and that helped. But I had no fonts installed, so it must have been something else.
 
A screen capture isn't going to show a dead pixel. It's not a photo of the screen itself. It's the image that should be on the screen! :cool:

Interesting... I didn't change/remove/reinstall any tweaks, but the dot actually resolved by itself earlier today after I sent/received a few messages.

But so far it seems that no one but JB'ers see this dot, so it must be related to that somehow.
