Hello all
this is my very first post on XDA but i got a question:
I got my vivid (black) last week and i noticed today that when you make calls there is a red light right next to the AT&T logo (left side of the AT&T logo) under the ear piece. this red light only comes on when you are calling someone. what is that light for?
this light is really hard to see in light so you should turn off the lights in your room (go in a dark place) and place a call, you should see a red light start to flash, it is very low!
i placed a call and noticed the red light started to blink rapidly? does this happen to your vivid also? what is this light for??
Thanks!!

The only way that I've read about involves actually opening up the phone and scraping off the grey paint on the buttons where the light shines through.

Noticed my Capacitive buttons aren't lighting up when I saw my wive's inspire buttons all lit up, think they only did once when I plugged the phone in, but never again. There a setting somewhere to controll this? Would like to see mine light up.
Thanks
They light up in low light conditions. Cover your proximity /light sensors at the top of your phone. They will come on.

Is there somewhere to set the sensitivity? It is almost impossible to get mine to turn on. Even in the dark. If I completely cover the sensor they turn on. Still under warranty so if it is the sensor back it goes.

Mine weren't turning on, till I completely covered the button, even when in very dim lighting, but after trying to cover the buttun they seam to be coming on more in dim light...idk....would light frequency play any role?
There are no settings for this, don't know any hacks either, mine light up the moment I press the on/wake button.

Maybe the screen protectors play a role in it, since mine covers my sensor.
I noticed that my wife's screen looks completely different, mine seams sortof doll, or hazed over, due to the screen protector, while her's is very crisp/clear/bright. We are using different screen protectors...
I'm using the moshi one, which seams a little hazey, almost like putting a filter over the screen, while she has the one that came with her Inspire...very transparent/clear...idk...
Mine also keeps light from hitting the sensor at greater angles...
just a thought...
Anyone seeing this without a screen protector?
I have don't have a screen protector on mine.....its the only flaw in the phone do far

hi it does,
It is located in the bottom left corner of the top grill.
When i saw it on the silver version it was solid yellow (for fully charged) not the biggest though.

Same as HTC one x......sadly.

Only thing that makes me sad about HTC Phones, the dam LED light. Same thing with my My touch, Amaze, and One X. I'll still be getting it!!
yes it has
Will it be controllable by Lightflow?
If I remember correctly.. it didn't work on the OneX..

HTC hasn't made a phone with a multicolor led since the nexus one

And it is too small and partially hidden to be of much use. As per ONE S. I have to pick the phone up and stare in to the earpiece grille to see if it is blinking.
Joke. As in bad joke.
HTC have steadily gone backwards with notification LEDs. They have become less and less visible, and therefore less and less useful.
I look back to some of my previous HTCs, such as the touch pro and hero. They may not have had rgb notifications, but they were highly visible and showed a bit of creativity from htc.

Yea, the LED should never be hidden behind the grille. Just isn't the right place.
Hows the One's LED visibility compared to the OneX's?
Also very curious about this. I read in a few places the One didn't have a notification LED and I was shocked. I'm very glad to hear it has one, even if it's not very visible. At least it's there.
Since the device was announce is been said that it does have a notification led.
Plenty of videos out and you guys have not seen the light? Because I've seen it in a couple videos.
Edit: it's clearly visible in this one. Colors that it displays I do not know. But most likely green and red.

only colours I have seen when I used the one are green and red
I thought I saw some video where it blinks color white. Perhaps it's just a video issue but I don't know.
Review on The Verge says it has the LED and can be customized:
http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/11/4086390/htc-one-review
Per it
"There’s a notification LED embedded in the top speaker grille, which shows when you have a message, a missed call, and the like — you can customize it, too, to only see what you want to see."
But does not say anything on the color though.
Since HTC named their phone the one like the geniuses they are it's hard to get details on if it's the same light from one X, green and amber.
Anyone know? I might not get it if it's not multicolored like every other major android phone. Like to customize that and the other lights are better.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
I've read it's not multicolor like Samsung phones, apparently it's just like 3 colors... amber, green and yellow? I'm not sure. But it's not multicolor like you're thinking.
My One X only did green and red, not amber? Interesting..
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium
Yeah, shame it's not multi colour. With Samsung you can't customise the colours by default anyway, and the apps you can use to modify the notifications are buggy at best.

apparently yellow can be done by turning both green and red at the same time, i think it is capable of doing it, but not exactly sure if you're able to use it.
my incredible s is the same
How boring. These lights aren't that expensive... They need to get on nexus and galaxy level.

Lol what?? Not At their level just because it doesn't have the colors of the rainbow as LED colors. Haha get out of here. What's the point of so many colors? You need one color to let you know battery is low(red) and one for notifications and to let you know battery is charged(green).
Most ridiculous complaint ever.

It's a silly complaint, but I was looking at my bro's €100 Heiwei phone yesterday and even he had it, I was a little jealous
Let's be honest you can't see notifications one the One X..

there is a file somewhere which you just have to push different numbers to using the echo command.
Think there are loads of apps that do this.
I've only seen the light as amber for charging and green for fully charged.
The RGB notification LED of say the Galaxy S3 was good, what always bugged me was the lack of native support by Android. Apps that allowed you to customise them always caused excessive wakelocks and I never liked their subsequent effect on battery life. I'll care about LED's if Android can support them natively (hoping that would have a little to no effect on battery life) otherwise they add little value in my eyes. :shrug:
My Sensation has got green and red
I only got this phone yesterday and I was wondering if the 2 buttons with side of the HTC logo should light up?
Mine don't light up and there hard to see in the dark...
I tried finding a setting but I can't see anything.
Thanks for replies
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes they should light up when the phone is in use
They do light, but not at any time. I Guess it has something to do with the auto-brightness-sensor... So if it dark it'll turn on the button lights
