Weird red light? - Motorola Droid 4

I'm on ICS leak. 213 and when I accidentally run voice control a weird little dim red light turns on... its to the right of the speaker. Anyone know anything about it or have it too?

it's for the proximity sensor. It's an infrared light, designed to reflect off your face when it's near the phone.

its used during phone calls, and when the "pocket detection" setting is turned on in gingerbread (not sure if its still there in ics or not)

I thought that was the Idea of Auto brightness
The screen brighness changes depending on the Ambient light level in your surroundings
You could try cleaning the screen around the top left corner where the Light sensor is and see if that makes any difference
Try to hold over the sensor for >10 sec and see if it still fluctuates. If not, the sensor is fine and the light hitting the sensor is changing, as waynefox writes.
It is also possible to turn off the auto light for the display
Go to settings-->display-->brightness, and un-tick the automatic brightness

[Q] Are there any led notification?

I know we dont have a led notification. but i saw a red led while my phone is charging and someone was calling me. and when i look my phone on the sunlight(not straight, with a little inclination) i see a black bar( darker than phone's top) left of the htc logo.
so, we have NOT a led notif officially. can we make it glow?

i think its a light sensor, if you ring someone and they answer, put your thumb over that bit and the screen goes blac, move your thumb away and it lights up again so i dont think it can be done
thats the proximity sensor;we have no notification led from what i can tell(i dont really need one though but it would have been nice)

but i saw it was glowing red i swear and that was maybe a bug cos the screen was in battery screen when i got call
it does glow red when you get/make a call but i dont know the technical details,all i know is that its a proximity sensor that activates when calls are involved or with apps(changing music with it etc)
It's a proximity sensor, it cannot be controlled. It lights whenever out needs to

But it is not bright enough to be used as notification LED
You really wouldn't be able to configure the light. It's part of a sensor, ffs

you CANNOT use the sensor as a notification led.
i was saying you can control the sensor with apps like wave control etc. not only when you get calls.
with wave control you can change tracks,pause the music player etc by using the sensor to detect hand movement.

By switching the sensor on and off we can make the led blink but as i said the led is not bright enough and will not be visible in most of the cases, it will also lead to battery wastage

What are two lights on top left of the phone

Dear Fellows, Can you tell me what are these two lights like holes on left top side of the phone, as far as I know there's no led notification on this phone.
If you see in front right top is camera but what is on top left side.
It's the light sensor, used to autoadjust the brightness of the screen++.

[Q] Pulse notification light not working?

Hello,
a few firmware versions back sony added the pulse notification light option to the display options, I have it checked but my notification light is still just blinking, not pulsating, shouldn't it behave like the one on nexus devices, slowly increasing the light to the peak and then slowly dimming it? Is this normal or should it really be pulsating like the one on nexus devices? Thanks
It will be the same as how sony did it
