We love Chromecast. It works perfectly using Android phone. But the flashing white light prevents sound sleep. How do we stop the flashing white light. VERY ANOYING.
electrical tape
Sad that electrical tape is the only way to stop tChromecast from flashing the white light every blinking moment the TV is off. Isn't technology wonderful.

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 switched from a purple tint HTC one to this new HTC butterfly s. Here are hardware problems I've encountered.
- purple tint is present 15% of the time in low light conditions especially when the phone is hot .
- when in dark areas, you can see the capacitive touch buttons illuminating the bottom of the screen before the screen turns on.
Anybody else experienced these things? I love the look and speed of HTC products compared to Samsung. But I think theyre not consistent with hardware production

sadly these problems are quite common
1.Yes I get purple tint on my camera but it's just zebra stripes in EXTREMELY low light after prolonged use of the phone. The camera naturally prefers a slight purple tint auto white-balance in some light, this is not that unusual because my camcorder do this as well. Under lowlight with HDR video, unfortunately, the purple tint is totally obvious through the whole image, not just stripes.
2. That's also quite normal.
Additional problems I've had:
1. audio clipping at high volumes with heavy bass (it seems users of the M8 are also reporting this)
2. Touch screen responsiveness with keyboard. (sometimes it lags or "sticks" a bit if you type too fast)

Touch screen don't lag or stick for me it's jus too fast

It's because I have sweaty hands and a screen protector.
I also noticed some stuck pixels on my unit, but it's too late to replace it now.
Don't use screen protector it causes problems when typing

I had serious purple tint, HTC replace the cam and now it had zero purple tint. Quite sure it is a hardware fault at least in my case

Is this a normal hardware problem or physical damage?
Fresh out of the box, headphone jack seemed to make a crackling when a headphone plug is spun around but that went away pretty quickly. Now, after months of use, the headphone jack seems to be going too deep for some headphones, causing this buzz sound and left channel to be cut off, unless the plug is in the right place, but it buzzes/cuts off when the headphone plug is touched slightly. It's especially bad with headphones that have an inline mic/remote. It also seems to have become rather loose now...
Has anyone else experienced this?

This sounds perfectly normal to me. I noticed this with most new audio jacks, be it new earphones or new phone or laptop or whatever. It's perfectly reasonable, though – when a new jack comes fresh out of factory, its surface is not perfectly smooth and by twisting it around, the resistance in the contact changes a bit, resulting in crackling. After a while, the surface gets smoothed out a bit by friction and the effect disappears.

This, on the other hand, really appears to be a mechanical failure.
yeah =/ I'm not sure if it would be under warranty either because it might have resulted me from accidentally pulling out the headphones a few times (happens when I'm commuting and need to make a run). It also depends heavily on the kind of headphones I use. Just bought a new pair of (cheap) earphones today and the plug went too deep causing the left channel to be cut off. A more "sturdy" plug does not do this although it may still buzz if pressed hard into the headphone jack.
I can also see something greyish and red at the bottom - only visible when a light is shined through. It might be dust and paint.
I've seen some reports that this is reported on HTC One M7 and some other phones, with one mod being to put a layer of tape on top of the headphone jack so the plug doesn't go in as deep or attaching rings to the bottom of the headphone plug.
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
Hi folks,
So I recently sent in my Z3Compact into repair due to the faulty audio jack (literally a week before my 1 year warranty ran out). They've fixed the audio issue but I now noticed that the notification LED light is super weak/dim.
I've ran the diagnostics test and it'll change colors from the green > purple > red but the level of intensity is just flat and dim.
I've downloaded Lightflow + other LED Notification apps to test different colors but same issue. I can see it in the dark dimly but I cannooot see it in daylight or in indoor lighting.
The phone was factory reset when I got it back but I figured I'd try it again. No luck.
What do you guys advise? It's really frustrating as I usually have my phone on silent and often rely on the subtle light notifications.
Thanks for your time!
The autobrightness works in a weird way. It brightens automatically, but it dims only when lying on a flat surface. It does not dim if i am holding phone in my hand and walking into a dark room. Is that normal? If not whats the fix??
