What is the white line on my Samsung Galaxy S2 pattern lock screen

If you look carefully at this screen shot you will be able to see a faint white line on the screen between todays date (Monday, 30 January) and the alarm (Tue 7:30) and charging icons (4%). A lot of people have been talking about this on forums recently and  have been worrying about some sort of possible screen error.

If you are worried about this single white line you need worry no more as it isnt just normal but actually serves a function as it breaks up the screen to show you things that
you may wish to know about. If you look at t his second screen shot youll see that the line is still there though the screen has the "Connect your charger" warning again breaking up todays date from the message.

If you are still worried about the line you can just check any other screen on your phone and you will notice it disappears. It really is normal and not something to worry about.

So the big question is why is it being spoken about on forums now a days? Well Im not actually sure as the line has been on the screen since we first covered the pattern lock screen back in Summer last year.
