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
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.
Hello all,
I have strange problem, my proximity sensor is working fine, even on bright light, but when the light intensity drops, it hangs at engaged position and starts working again only in bright light. Apart from this situation, the sensor is working fine also in darker conditions, as long as it is not exposed to bright light. I have screen replacement, but this looks like matter of sensor, it sort of hangs. Do you have any ideas, what could be the cause, please?
Thank you
Jakub
I have fixed it by placing transparent tape over both sensors and tinted it with black marker. It took a little experimenting on how much black to put on in order for proximity to work properly and still the light sensor getting enough light. The proximity needed several layers of black, although it still remains mystery for me why it worked this particular way
Hello I've been happily using L.O. S 7.1 for three month on my XZ1C . But It's been a few weeks that the screen turns off to black when dialling a call, before I put the phone to my ear. It doesn't lit back unless I make a long press on the screen and activate the speaker, or the keyboard icon so that the screen stays accessible while phoning. It looks like a proximity sensor bug.
I've made some tests with "Sensor Readouts app" , and the proximity sensor seems to react normally.. So I've tried to use another Dialer app, or to reinstall the Stock Phone dialer app because it's a very uncomfortable issue. BUt no success so far... Is there a way to reinitalize the Proximity sensor and/ or the Telephone app on LOS 17 /1 ?
Thanks for any hints.
