Red light - Motorola Droid 4

I just recently updated to the cm 10.1.3 final build and I've noticed that there is a red light that always comes on between the earpiece and the front camera... Not sure what it is or why it seems to be on all the time. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, but by the end of the day it is back on. Any thoughts?

That red light is the proximity sensor (well, half of it, the receptor is next to it). Not sure what's causing it to come on in your case - there was a version of Viber that switched it on constantly a few months ago, but that got fixed in a subsequent release.
Cheers,
Steve.

I figured it was the proximity sensor. Not sure what is activating it though. I don't have Viber FYI. Is there an app that could tell me which apps can control the proximity sensor?

Bad proximity sensor?

Is it possible for the proximity sensor to go bad? When I was using my vivid, I had an otterbox on it, and I thought that was what was causing the issue. My wife wanted wifi tethering so when I got my Nexus 4, I wiped it, left wcx experience on it, and gave it to her. Now she's having issues with it too. Known fix?
Really how does a proximity sensor go bad, there's no moving parts!

I know it has only an on-off function it doesnt detect the distance so try putting your finger right on it in a call does it work?
I'll give that a try. It still works somewhat, I know the buttons will light up if you cover it for a couple seconds, just sometimes it'll shut off the screen during a call, sometimes not so much. I wonder if it's a rom issue

Use power button to end call in access ability settings.

[ISSUE] Screen not functioning during call

Hey guys!!
So i'm a proud owner of the white international version of the Xperia Z, but there is a problem that I've noticed with the phone!
When i make calls, and the other end picks up, phone screen turns black, I try and turn the screen on with power button and no luck, the screen is unresponsive and does not turn back on until the other end hangs up!
Glitch in the software? Anyone else by any chance?
BTW phone is rooted
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check if the proximity sensor is working.

Thanks!
just dial that number, i went to service test and i presume proximity switch (no proximity sensor) and on the screen it says 'Proximity switch ON' and made a beep sound
So, by any chance has anyone else got this problem? Please help

Wave your hand on it,next to the led light.
It should say off and on with the beep.

Yes I did! I never thought the spigan glas.t would be the cause!
I've been giving my headaches thinking about this!
Guess the solution is to either remove glas.t or the proximity sensor app.
Thank you both for the advice and help

Yeah I did that nothing happened, I think it's what pvilla mentioned above with the screen protector.
Thanks for your help and input, much appreciated

Possible fix for unresponsive capacitive buttons?

Seems to me this is really working, could you please try and post in here how's it working? Also mention your fw revision.
Here's the original post :

For the lazy, it's as simple as disabling vibration in sound>vibration on touch.

not working for me
I've had 'vibration on touch' turned off since day 1 and my buttons are still problematic
I've had vibration disabled since day 1 and still had problems.
After the latest update (1.29.401.12) I have not experienced any issues with the capacitive buttons. It's much more responsive.

I have had problems with the capacitive buttons until I installed a custom Rom with the .13 base.
Much much better. I honestly dont have issues anymore. Before it would happen all too frequently.
I am with Rogers in Canada and I can't be bothered to wait for them to push an update.

I have had the vibrate off since day one and I still have problems. I'm unlocked with root on stock rom so hopefully AT&T can get the update out. Sounds like it's a software issue.

You are mean't to turn it on, click your button and go back and turn it off (the vibration), then it should be fine after that (until a reboot). It's worked for me.
That pic is extremely clear. I'm using a RAZR and get nothing like that. Nice

Proximity Sensor Not Working During Calls?

When I pull the phone away from my face to use the keypad or switch to speaker or end the call even, the screen doesn't turn on. I turned off just about all of the motion sensors in settings would that have something to do with/affect the proximity sensor?
Screen protector?

Try factory reset. If I t still does it exchange if possible.

Is anyone else experiencing poor proximity sensor behavior during calls? Proximity works great during sensor tests, but fails to turn screen on/off during calls correctly. Problem is identical across 3 seperate Note3 devices I've tested and oddly I get the exact same issue on Galaxy Mega.

Mine works most of the time. Every once in awhile it flakes out. Same on my note 2 but it was very very rare on note2. I am possibly thinking it might be these cases with fatter lips I've been using since there is so little choice for a great case. My diztronics tpu is awesome but sadly it doesnt fit proper with wireless charging cover and I ruined it trying g to mod it.

I'm not using a case, screen protector, or anything. Exchanged my device and a few days later the proximity sensor is failing 100% of the time during calls. It works flawlessly for everything else...just buggy with stock dialer.

Maybe an app that is causing chaos. I had a speakerphone app bork my proximity sensor sensitivity.

Mine annoys the **** outta me, as soon as I make a call, phone in had, on table wherever it may be the screen turns off.
With this many people having issues with it, it might be an app that's causing it because testing shows the sensor works right?

I had the same proximity sensor issue on my first brand new N3. I think it was faulty from the start. when doing the sensor test, the screen would light up when you place your hand over the sensor, and stay light up when you move it away.
I even reset it to new a few times with the same problem. I got tired of the problem and did a warranty exchange. The new phone works as is. I also went to my local BB where they had a Samsung booth and tested all the N3s they had there. None of them had the proximity sensor issue. I believe it's a hardware problem.
Wow.
Man I'm having this problem also!
I had the same issue and requested an exchange from ATT. So far so good on the new one. Very frustrating issue!
I am having this same issue. Besides that and super high temps I honestly don't think this phone was ready to come out.

There's a separate setting in the phone app to turn off the screen during calls, and it's set on by default (I think). Could that be interfering with the sensor?

No, that's the setting to activate the proximity sensor during calls or not. Turning it off deactivates the sensor. Then you manually can turn your screen on and off during calls.

What else do you have installed? Any xposed mods? What FW version are you on? Have you tried it from stock? Just curious. I honestly do not have this problem.

My phone was also doing this. I realized that if anything was hooked up to my bluetooth my proximity sensor would not work when I put my phone to my ear.

Audio Starts Loud Then Lowers

So my best friend just got a Nexus 6 not too long ago, but seems to be facing an issue where all Music/Sound starts playing loud when you first start it but after a few seconds the volume becomes very low. We have flashed custom roms as well as used stock and still face the issue. We have searched the forum threads and cant seem to find anything that fixes it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had this issue and replaced it no problem. This motorola qc is really bad

Hi,
@VeryCrushed , @Tsoflyyup
I have the same problem, Can you try to connect the charger and see if the problem persists? My phone seems to have this problem when the charger is not connected and the battery has a low level.
I had the same problem. However, as soon as i use any custom kernel everything is fixed.

I think it can be related with the power saving mode, have you tried using the charger and see if the problem persists?
