    Just recently I have this white dot that is in the top left hand corner of my notification bar. When I pull down to see what it is, there is nothing. Tried rebooting the phone, looking at recent apps that I've installed to see if that's the culprit, and now I give up and come to this forum looking for help. Anyone have any idea what it is?

    It typically represents minimized notifications - if there are no notifications, then sounds like either a bug or they're using that minimized notification functionality for something else - but not sure what that would be.

    You could try booting into Safe mode - if it's being caused by a 3rd party application that won't show up in Safe mode. Then you can start uninstalling the most recent applications you've used.

    This is easier than doing a Factory Reset (although if nothing obvious turns up that may be another step to try).

    It went away after I powered off my phone completely, then waited a minute and powered it back up and the white dot is gone. Who knows what it was...

    It's usually the result of an application that's keeping itself from being kicked out of memory by the OS; the app keeps a 'notification' running (although it may not actually be providing any kind of useful notification) as a means to stay running.

    Pull down the upper bar and you'll see a row of apps. keep pressing or thar row until the option menu let you choose to cancel notification for the program.
    Good luck

    This is the dot I have been noticing every now and again. It will appear and disappear randomly, anyone else experiencing this?
