Just wondering if there is a app to gain access to this not used LED in the earpiece on the Touch Pro?
It is NOT a LED. It's light sensor.
Are you sure? On the CDMA version they don't have the sensor to the right of the earpiece cutout were this one is inside.

Not just you, I can see mine too. They aren't sensors, there is only one sensor and it's on the top left. The other three (there's actually another one to the right of the ear piece) are emitters and their sole purpose is to emit IR for the sensor to pick up. So that's what you are seeing, the emitters lighting up. Was just talking about this in another thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/ir-sensors-t2963401

Alright. I was just a tad bit worried
They look like 730nm "far red" LEDs. It's a slightly past what a human eye sees well but it's compatible with visible light optics and it's reflected by skin well.
Is anyone else experiencing a slight rattle when you sit the phone down or tap it? Not sure if it's the vibrating motor or something?

That actually makes me feel more at ease. So it's not likely defective but more likely just a larger vibrator motor or something. Which, makes sense because the vibrating on this thing is strong.

It's funny that shaking it does not create the sound. Only laying it down on something hard.

Yes exactly. Or if you tap on the back.
I feel it rattling when it vibrates which makes it feel a bit cheap but haven't noticed that tapping out would make rattle as well which it does.
Could you please confirm that it rattles a bit when it vibrates on your device as well?

It doesn't seem to do that for me. But vibration does seem overly strong like on cheaper phones at times.

Ex kernel manager or other kernel tools let you adjust vibration intensity.
Ok actually all percentage values feel the same so probably some driver restrictions

Same with my A2. I located it at the camera or somewhere near. It is definitely not the vibration motor itself.

Maybe from the image stabilization?

Don't think so, since the A2 has no OIS.

It doesn't have ois. Edit: too slow
Oh ok, just EIS. Well who knows what it could be. Can't be a defective unit if it's the same for all of us.
With my device happens the same, and the rattle is quite loud, it even makes some vibration during calls with high volume. Everyone can confirm this? Im curious to know if it is a defect or all A2 are like that.
Can confirm it happens for me also
Same problem here. I am assuming that volume buttons are producing that rattle noise. If you take your phone in the hand and shake nothing happens, but when you tap just under camera lenses you can hear the rattle , volume buttons are only near and not fixed, so...
Hello,
I think the vibrations are the cameras, like in the A1.
I remember that in the A1 forum there is a similar post.
Sorry for my English, regards!
Not the buttons. Most likely optics in the camera that are movable for autofocus. Most cameras now seem to have this
I faced the same "problem". Same rattling like on the mi 4c.
Its the camera auto focus.
Same here.
I just noticed that my Mi A2's screen is a bit yellow-ish than any phones that we have (S8, Redmi Note 5), which has blue-ish screen. Is it just my phone or should the Mi A2's screen be more blue-ish? Or is it a factory defect?
Night light is turned off.
I think it is your eyes defect. All screens should have a calibration near 6500k. Blue light damage your eyes.

My friends also noticed that my Mi A2 has warm screen color than his. I just bought the phone and I want to know if this is a factory defect so it can be replaced immediately.

I also have tianma LCD. Im just concerned that this might be a factory defect. I just hope this won't be a problem for a long time.

Did u get a warmer or cooler screen?
If you look at this disassembly video you can see that the actual hole is pretty small but the dead space around the cutout is pretty large. Did samsung maybe turn off more pixels than necessary around the cutout?

It's for the notification light.. it encircles the cut out when you have a notification

From what I've seen the light animation is on the outside of the cutout. And even if it was inside it makes no sense to enlarge the hole, that animation is using pixels its not an actual led light.

Then my 2nd guess would be space to prevent light bleed from the screen affecting photos.

Yeah. It's the internet way of doing things.
In all seriousness, I wish people wouldn't do it. It makes finding information on the internet so much more difficult.
They need something to do with the S11 next year

Look around in the Questions and Answers, there's a whole thread on that.
While keeping my phone on a hard surface like a table or tap the rear top of the phone there is a slight Rattling noise. I was wondering if this was normal, or is it my product only. If it is normal , is it related to the pop up camera or the rear cameras? Phone is working fine otherwise
No, it is not normal. Phone should feel sturdy.

Thanks again, really appreciate you. Was worried.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes, Recently I've also heard some rattling noise when I tapped the back of K20 Pro on my palm. Kind of weird. Might be coming off from camera sensor as other's are saying.
It's the camera sensor rocking when the phone gets placed on a first surface. It should be the same for all.
