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.

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.
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
I'm on my tab
Latest Elemental X Kernel ( did the same on stock before ).
Latest Sinless rom ( did it before I think... not 100% sure ).
When on a call, I can stand in the bathroom in the dark in front of a mirror and see that my screen is in fact "black/off" due to proximity sensor. However, the screen still works.. I can slide my ear down the phone, pull the phone from my face .. screen lights up, and yep, notification's are pulled down. I can also hear it do the little "tick" sound if I move my face around on the screen before removing it from my ear ( the screen was touched, button pressed etc ).
So the screen goes black from the proximity sensor, but still appears to accept "touches". If I turn the screen off while in a call with the power button, this does not happen. Anyone else getting this?
Hello everyone,
my proximity sensor it keeps showing the red light i can noticce it during night and low light condittions but it is not functional like when i pass my hand the screen does not go off only in phone call,
i still do wanna know is it normal to see the red light ? ty
I noticed that whenever I make a phone call, I have to actually press my S10 on my ears in order to make the screen go off. It never happened on any of my phones. I also did a Sensor test with an app and it also showed me that I have to press on the upper screen instead of just floating above it.
Anyone else? Or may I have a faulty device?
I have been wrestling with Samsung and Runtastic about the proximity sensor, which no longer works on my S10 for doing push-ups. It seems that the sensor is now under the screen, and is only made active when a phone call is on. This is probably why they are having issues with the phone coming on in people's pockets. The most interesting thing is that when you do a *#0*# diagnostic and press the 'sensor' button, the proximity sensor does not even appear. On my old S7 you can cover the proximity sensor with your hand and it will vibrate and the screen will go green. Seems to be crippled functionality and a poor call from Samsung if that is the case.
Im on the opposite side.. When im making a call, a put the phone away from my ear and the screen does not turn on. Im pressing the power button to turn on the screen.
Mine when I finish the call I ended in the search for Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth on or in some cases on the call screen but with the key numbers enabled and some numbers typed, that's very annoying, even when I press the phone to my ear.
I'm using with the free case on the box maybe I will try without the case and see if the problem still there.
My model it's s10e exynos
Yeah, something is wrong with it. My screen goes dark almost immediately during phone calls, even when it's sitting on a table using the speaker. I have to press the power button to turn the screen back on each time I make a call.
Yah. When I pull the phone from my ear my screen is always black. So I have to wake the phone.
since the last update (March 1st, 2020) I've noticed that the little proximity sensor light above the battery percentage is lighting up A LOT. Is it doing this for anyone else??
