Light in speaker?

Hey. I recently got the diamond and have been wondering if the small block on the left hand side of the speaker grill on the front is a light or a light sensor?
Having previously had devices which flash lights to tell you the bluetooth is on and stuff i expected the diamond to have it but it doesnt light up or flash or anything so im wondering if it should but is broken...
Thanks

I think that's a light, with notifications as on other devices.

haha yeah i was wondering the same thing, but yeah it is indeed a light SENSOR, you can test it quite easily by sticking the phone in bright light, you will see the screen is bright, then put you finger over the bit of transparent plastic in question and you will see the screen dim slightly (because it thinks you are now in a dark setting) so yeah, good call on guessing light sensor.

Thanks guys
Almost had a panic attack that it might have been a fault on the phone...
Does seem odd there is no service notification without turning screen on.
Cheers.

Of course there is ... there is flash around your circle pad ... didn`t notice that ?

It's a light sensor.
The only light indicator is the white circle around the "enter" button.
Bye

Did HTC swap the status led for the light sensor? or O2?

Hi as the title really, had my xda ignito since monday and have noticed that it doesn't have a status led (flashing led when bluetooth/wifi, charging etc) instead in the earpiece speaker hole is the light sensor for screen illumination where the led would be.
Is the led not on original diamonds or did O2 take it out?

Well, mine is a HTC unbranded phone and it didnt have any status led anywhere. As you say there is only one little light sensor. This is normal.
Best regards.

Diamond and Touch Pro don't have a LED there, just the sensor.
They have four signal LEDs behind the action button though.

thanks for sorting that one.

[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

you can control the sensor via apps

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

Did you drop your phone into water? Usually that red light glows when Then phone becomes wet / moist

A Red LED Below The Top Speaker Of XT1068

I dont know weather anyone has noticed it or not but i have noticed that there is a RED LED which glows when you are in a call on XT1068 MOTO G2 you can see the led only in complete darkness. The led is located under the top speaker i dont know if it glows everytime on a call or just when there is less batery left and you get a call.
Hope this can motivate developers to take advantage of the LED.

That's a proximity sensor switching off the screen when you put your phone near your ear.

Yeah its the proximity sensor. Their a notification light next to the top speaker that you can use and the proximity sensor is great if you want to do something like wave to wake.

Does it have a proximity sensor?

Does anyone know if the p30 pro has a real proximity sensor or is just using the front facing camera?

There is something under the top display, if you lock your phone put 1 finger on the right side next of the top camera you get a message about touch being deactivate because the screen is obscured, that works with the camera being clear.
Right camera - half way to the display edge seems to be covered.

Yes! In the upper side, in the middle beetwen camera and right side. Very diffult to see

Oh ok, it's actually visible above the display, would have thought they put it underneath.

Anyone know how to disable the proximity sensor? It keeps turning off my screen whenever I put it into a phone mount case. Also disables double tap to wake
