Ok so I bought a sprint tp2 with a messed up screen (looked like an oil blot in the center). So i replaced the screen/digitalizer from one off of ebay.
Everything works fine and i would recommend doing this for anyone who has a broken screen instead of fixing the digitalizer themselves(less headache involved).
The problem is that I've noticed that led on the left works fine. ember when charging, green when charged, and flashes green when there's a notification. But the led on the right does absolutely nothing. It just doesn't light up.
At first I thought it was the proximity sensor but that seems to be closer to the led on the left.
I wanted to know if the led on the right is suppose to do something? Like on my old kaiser if wifi was on it would indicate that along with gps and bluetooth.
The LED on the right IS the proximity sensor.... Won't EVER light up, and if it did then something screwies gong on...
OK I was just wondering. Thanks man.
the proximity sensor is to the left of the right led

this is correct...
OK now I'm a little confused...sorry. So if you were to be looking at the phone the led on the right is the proximity sensor?
I thought that the proximity sensor is located to the left of the left led indicator and assumed that the right led is actually the ambient light sensor. Correct?
I just wanna make sure everything is working right.
thats what i mean,its nowhere near the right led..

The Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons are suppose to light up. But they aren't what gives?
It might only light up in dark places, I know mine isnt lighting up right now, but it has before.

There are some people who's don't light up, go into the closet and see if they go. Of course then you have to come out of the closet eventually
This happened to me. The lights stopped working all of the sudden... and then randomly started to work again. Don't know what the deal is.
They don't seem to light up when charging.

I noticed this too. If you unplug the phone they should turn on.
I thought you had to be in a dark area cause mine works only in dark places. Sort of like ny work blackberry same thing they light up when its dark.

Just confirmed it. There's an ambient light sensor on the right side of the HTC logo. If you angle your phone right in the light you can notice it....

Hah, you're right... I just tested it too, I turned the corner lamp on in my room but the button lights kept lighting up when I waked the phone... I walked up to the lamp, waked the phone up while it's facing me, buttons light up, wake the phone up while it's facing the lamp, buttons don't light up. I'm not sure I would've noticed that if I hadn't read thru this thread, heh.
Anyone know a way to turn these off for good? It's a bit annoying/distracting when watching a movie in low light...
I am OMJ's Rom on my EVO rooted with toasts method plus the radio update and the led's under the front buttons are not working. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an app that controls them that was removed?
The lights will be off when the phone is plugged in and charging.
When exactly are the lights under the four soft buttons supposed to be on?
On my EVO (novatec 003, stock) I have noticed an inconstancy in when they light up. Sometimes they light up when I unlock my phone, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they turn on later, sometimes they don't turn on at all.
This doesn't seem normal to me. What are other's experience with this?
Thanks
they are controled with the light sensor and should be on in low light situations and off in bright lights. you can test this by covering the light sensor to the right of the HTC logo on top of the device.
Thank you @peepeesea that was it exactly. Which is more hi-tech that I gave them credit for.
Also as a side note, since I've been reading the xda forums I feel like a phone hypochondriac. Everythings broken!!
i have a tilt 2 im running xdandroid the two led lights next to the ear speaker wont go of the green on will stay light up and it alternate between orange
That's normal. See the Project Android FAQs:
My Notification LED is always on?
Current state of the Notification LED is more for diagnostic purposes. It isn't functioning yet for true notifications. It is more for diagnostics right now from my understanding to let you know that the phone is in sleep mode. If the light isn't Green when sleeping then it hasn't ran it's power collapse mode and it is draining your battery. I get an occasional Flash from Green to Orange and I assume it is when the phone wakes up to check things like mail etc. But otherwise it is Green all the time the phone is sleeping. Which is good!

If you have a Tilt 2, then you only have "ONE" notification LED. That is to the left of the ear piece.
You also have a proximity sensor, which is on the right of the ear piece. The proximity sensor should never show any type of light.
Hi all and happy holidays
So I just bought my DEFY... my first ever touch and smartphone and I have Skype installed. It seems every time I sign in this faint red light comes on, it's located just on the left of the earpiece.
Anyone has any idea what it's for? this is not mentioned in the user manual :/
I wouldnt worry too much about it, I have it aswell, I have a feeling its a faint IR beam for proximity sensor (to turn off the screen when the phone is in use)
had a look in motorola forums as well, it does seem to be the proximity sensor after all...
PS can't post outside links yet
There's a LED indicator on the Defy just aside the proximity sensor (on the left or earpiece).
This led can warn you when you receive an email, a SMS or for missed call.
Maybe skypa can handle the led and turn it red when you're signed on.
What is the countinously blinking IR led in the front for? By looking at the notification LED area through anothers phone camera, which is a bit sensitive in the IR, one can see the blinking IR led. Is it for focusing with the front camera? I did not activate facial recognition yet. Actually it is blinking all the time, even when the front camera is not in use.

Ok. But the proximity sensor is always on. Always. Even when the display is inactive. I reseted the system to factory settings and at some point in the process the sensor turns on and it stays on non-stop if the phone is on. Is this normal?

It's always on to check if the phone is in a pocket or not. That's completely normal. When it's in a pocket it disables aod to preserve battery. It doesn't consume battery at all and it doesn't do any harm.
Edit: also disables touchscreen when you're talking on the phone while next to your face.
