Something I found while flashing some firmware on my C6603. The purple dot in the image is some sort of LED that's visible to my Nexus 7 2013's camera, but invisible to my eyes, and I caught it flashing while TWRP was busy with something. I've never seen it outside of flashing .zips.
No idea what it's for, but maybe somebody here can work out what it's for and whether it does anything useful to us.

Thats your proximity sensor. It's an infrared emitter and detector, invisible to the naked eye. When viewed through another camera it shows up as a light because a camera can see IR light.
Point your camera at the end of your TV remote and press a button on the remote. It will flash.

Ran a search on the forum just to make sure this hasn't been posted before, but I may have missed something... Excuse me if I did
When I'm in the camera app taking pictures/video, and am shooting some kind of dark fabric, there is a noticeable purple hue in the center of the display. Other shots (landscape, hardware shots) don't have the problem.
Below is a GIF image of my black trackpants and the burst image captured with my One.

Notice how the purple hue is constantly moving, disappearing and reappearing?
The linked image isn't the best of quality, and the in-person shots have a more noticeable discoloration, but should this be anything I should worry about?
My Moto Atrix 4G had a very similar issue, but the problem later bled into everyday shots where everything had a blue discoloration in the dead center.
Anyone else have this "problem?" It's not bothering me too much, just don't want it to come back and haunt me in a few months.
Secondly, does anyone notice that the brightness changes when you use the camera app? If you start out with minimum brightness and use switch to the camera app, your brightness increases temporarily (assuming this is by design and not some kind of odd bug on my unit).
I've just noticed the front layer of my One is sliding away form the body below. Imagine the top layer is the screen and speaker grilles, the middle layer the white band and the bottom the layer the body.
The top layer has twisted slightly and you can see the top two layers are not quite in line. In the bottom corner the middle layer is slightly exposed.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to take pictures to show.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'm thinking it can only get worse.
Thanks
Take a picture in the mirror, i would definitely like to see this.
This is weird. Need to see this
Never heard of a phone doing like this

I don't know exactly what you are talking about, but the phone is held together with adhesives so I don't doubt it. please take pictures.
Sadly, I'm travelling at the moment so can't get the pics everyone is craving . As soon as I found a decent camera, I'll put something up
In for nud..... I mean pics
Ive started to use the s pen more and ive noticed the right side of the screen has a section which wo t detect my stylus pen. Its like anti pen, the pointer goes around that spot. Anyone else have this? Im running dark stalker + dpi adjusted.

Should i flash to stock and go to t mobile?
Go back to stock and test the s pen again. Make a backup of your ROM.
If it's the same in Stock, then you need to get the phone replaced.
I had the same issue when i got the phone. I had to have it returned for a brand new one due to this. Sometimes the screens pressure sense fails. On my replacement, there were points where i would pull out pen and try to screen shot and the screen would flash as if capturing a screenshot and then no options provided. I thought i was going to have to return another one but then the new update fixed the issue. I dont know why lol. But my second device seems to be working right now. Call tmo and tell them whats going on. If its within the 14 days, request a brand new one.
My Mi 9 have spots/stain under the screen, its visible in dark room with low brightness, especially when displaying on apps with grey/dark backgrounds.
Anyone else have something similar?
call me crazy but i think they could be sensors. the one spot i have is exactly where the in screen fingerprint scanner is, same size and location. but theirs also a small one far top left, don't know what that one is.
I had also spots on the display, I returned that unit and i got already a new replacement that doesn't have any issues.
Even my Mi A1 has spots, but it looks like it's a glass manufacturing issue, not the display

the top left one could be the under screen ambient light sensor as pictured in the linked image

Here's the official "teardown" https://c.mi.com/thread-1856339-1-0.html
It's not any sensors or something like that, it's literally like dirty spots between the glass and the screen. i would guess it's the glue they use.
This is happening when is activated anti-fliker mode to my mi 9 lite.
The stock EdgeLighting and I downloaded EdgeLighting+ and I still cannot get the camera hole punch notification light to work on either the outer or inner screens. I assume the correct option would be "Eclipse" but when I press it nothing happens?

I'm using Always On Edge from the Play Store.
I've used it on past few galaxy models and it works really well, minimal impact to battery life.
Settings can be a bit tricky but it's easy enough to work out. I've raised a few issues with the dev and he always responds and sorts it really quickly. At the minute I can only get it working on either the front or inside screen, not both at the same time due to the camera placement. I've contacted dev to see if that would be something he could implement.
Use the app called Aod Notify. Perfect app.
