Today I realised that the screen protector I just applied a few days ago has three holes for the sensors next to the front camera, instead of just two for the two sensors that are visible.
Does anybody know what the third one is about? I saw that it's also visible in the service manual as well as in this promo video: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-sp/specifications/#white
It's the proximity sensor.
Edit : sorry, I misunderstood... my bad. You have the light and proximity sensor but I don't know what the 3rd one is.

I think its (in order) camera, ambient light sensor (for autobrigness), proximity sensor 1, and proximity sensor 2 (like an Xperia Neo for example)
I checked my phone and it has 3 holes but it's hard to see because it's a black phone!

Somewere in the General or Q&A are the whitepapers being shared of this phone. Perhaps you can take a look at them to determine what the purpose is of that sensor?

So it is, indeed, the light sensor.
Thanks!
I'm a bit confused about proximity sensor and switch. What's the difference between the two?
When I use the service menu to check (idiot me, could've done that to determine that the third one is the light sensor ) the proximity switch, holding something in front of any of the two will change the status to ON.

Opened my Nexus up to apply the screen fix involving a piece of plastic from pill containers , and I saw this. Obviously anyone who has opened it up has noticed but I haven't seen any threads.
Just a neat thing I thought I'd share.

I saw that too. My guess was that it is the NFC and sharing sensor since I remember someplace describeing the NFC being near the top. But that sure looks like the place for mounting a camer... Even has what appears to be four threaded holes for attaching the camera.

No I'm fairly sure that's a camera mount. The NFC is actually on the back plate (along with the wifi & gps antenna)

It's merely an NFC antenna that's on the back plate. The NFC hardware itself is on the motherboard.
Also notice the empty space for the CON3 connector just under the label?

It has screws and is a considerable sized "pit".
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
There is also a hole in the NFC antenna in that area
yes. that is a place for a camera. The N7 was originally a different tablet (asus showed it off at CES) and Google hijacked it and removed some things to lower the price point.
technically speaking if we were able to get our hands on that camera sensor we could install it (if the MoBo still supports it) and drilla hole for the camera.
Is this the original, I was posting a link but for some reason i need to post ten times before i can post external links. O well.
Did anyone notice a small round circle along to the right of the camera lens on the front of the device? You can see it depending on room lighting. Wonder if that's a LED?

I have got the HTC One from the end of May. But I still have some questions on my phone's "UltraPixels" Camera.
I wonder whether this technology is a software adjustment or a hardware settings?
4 MegaPixels should be all right for daily usage, but I always like to pinch to zoom my photos while browsing.
HTC One failed to reveal some details in the picture comparing to Samsung GS4 or Sony Xperia Z. I want to ask if it is possible to abandon the UltraPixels technology to boost the camera resolution to 8MP or even 13MP? Any app can do it?
Attaching my photo taken using ultraPixel HTC One at Hong Kong IFC Centre!

I believe it's hardcoded into the sensor that it only uses 4 mp for the image, while the rest of the pixels on the sensor used solely for exposure and gathering light

The phone only has 4 megapixels
They are larger than your regular phone megapixels, there isn't separate sensors for gathering light since that's how all camera work in the first place.
So to the OP, no.. Do some research on how these things work. Really.

You need to learn how to take pictures with the One because the pictures you have posted are terrible quality and the first is washed out. You're always best to focus on the sky and underexpose the rest of the shot and then edit in Photoshop or something because the quality of pictures I've taken are way, way, way better than them lol
I started using this for my night table when charging at night. I'm not too sure how it would do with battery life if you use it as a watchface but I'm planning on testing it.
It has great brightness options. You can dim it for night use by swiping gently down or raise the brightness by swiping up. The little details in the lighting are nice. When you dim the brightness you see the shadows of the digits and days of the week. The disappear when you fully brighten it.

Can anyone alleviate my fears that the image would be burned into the screen after extensive use?

I agree, that will probably be a problem.
I had a Galaxy S3 that burned in badly after leaving it lit all night for a few months on a nightstand.

I was wondering about this too. My wife's phone which is a fairly recent moto model had terrible burn-in just from basic use. You can see her homescreen apps pretty clearly.

Hi, I recently had to send back my HTC One because of the camera having problem with purple/reddish tint. Just recently my camera is now having problems focusing and is incredibly blurry to the point where I cannot read "small text".
I just took this recently from my text book, the text is incredibly blurry.

Here's another one that is clear.
I have tried refocusing, but it just gets blurier.
Bump anyone? I heard people having problems similar, but nobody has posted photos. Should I just send this thing back again?
Try another camera app. It's look like a focusing problem. Try focusing touching the screen. In camera settings, choose macro or text mode.

Tried all of that :/ Here's an attempt in Camera Zoom FX, which I guess is supposedly the best camera app out there. Is it possible that there's a hardware problem making it unable to focus on text?

You get that problem only focusing on text? May be a hardware problem if not focusing everything ..

Yeah that's the weird part, maybe it's not focusing larger text (my previous picture on the whiteboard as an example) but since it's larger it's harder to notice. I'll just talk to the warranty and send it back again.
Hy. I have a big problem with my wife phone p20 pro. When i prepare or take photo in any camera app there are pink litle spots on screen that get bigger on zoom. And when i zoom it to max there are pink squares. The phone function amazing until 2 days ago. It is not burn screen. Only camera apps do so. Also the pink spot are visible in photo.

Try to reset all the camera settings and see if it helps, if not you could try factory resetting the entire device. If that doesn't help it 'might' be dead pixels on the sensor/sensors.

it may be the phone motherboard has failed.
Recommended to go after-sales service to ask for help.
Motherboard? I dont think so. This problem is only with camera app. Not on screen in any other app. Why motherboard. It seem mote like a sensor camera issue. The phone is 4 month old. That why i never renonce to samsung and go with Huawei. Chines alwais use cheap material and go for premium device.
