Anyone else experiencing this when in a call? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've just noticed that whilst in a call if I move the phone away from my face turning the screen back on then cover the proximity sensor to turn the screen off again the notification light flicks on full brightness as the screen goes off. Anyone else have this?

Take it to be just mine then?

[Q] Where is the One X's ambient light sensor?

Anyone know?
Left of the HTC logo above the screen. It is also where the proximity sensor is.
If you call someone, take a look at the front of your phone. You will see a steady red glow from the top left of your screen, this is where the proximity and ambient light sensor are housed.
It helps if you angle the phone, you can see that there is almost like a rectangle hole in the paint behind the glass

If you want to easily see it, enable Face Unlock, then try to unlock your phone in complete darkness, you will see that little red light comes on to the left of HTC logo.
That light seems to be permanently on after I had a viber call. Any ways to turn it off
Edit.: the cause was NotifierPro. Fixed it.

"settings --> display and gestures --> sleep" and there you can set the time for turning off the display

Dear Sir!
Do you mean the sensor activated during a phone call? My HTC one X last time has an abnormal behavior when I place a phone call. Normally when you move the phone away of hear it should turn on the screen back light so you are able to hang up the phone call. But my phone still be black after moving away from the hear so I need to push power button to activate the screen back-light and than hang up the phone call. Could somebody help me out on this issue? Any kind of help shall be much appreciated.
Best regards

weird screen during a phone call

I have a slight issue with my GSM GN.
The problem happens only when I am on a call ( sending or receiving).
When I am on a call if I am requested to , let's say, "press 1"
I bring up the pad to press 1 and before I can press 1 the screen becomes black, comes back to normal and goes back to black before I had a chance to press 1 again.
And it becomes a missed call.
I also noticed, again when I am on the dialer, during the call if I put the phone to my ear the screen again turns black until I get it away from my ear.
If during this call I put the phone on my desk the screen turns dark.
Back to normal screen when I lift it from the desk.
I would appreciate any input to help me understand this weird behavior.
I believe it is the proximity sensor that determines when to turn the screen on/off during calls.

What would be the course of action in this case?
Does somebody has a solution in mind?:fingers-crossed:
Usually proximity sensors help save battery life when making a call turning the screen of assuming that you have your phone close to your ear. But if you want to disable the sensor figure out a way to block the receptor of the sensor, as it is confirmed of two parts. The emitter and the receiver. If the receiver doesn't get a reflection of the emitter then
The screen won't go off. Hope I explained myself

Anything makes the LED besides the front facing camera stay continuously ON?

Today I noticed a dimly lit red light from the second dot to the left of the front camera staying continuously on even when the display is turned off. I am not mentioning about the notification light that is placed to the left side. I tried many options but it stayed dimly lit. Later I thought of restarting the device and that did turn it off. This did show up as bright red for a moment when I turned on the device which later turned off.
Any idea what made it stay continuously on?

I was having similar problem with gs3,turned out to be viber I guess...uninstall it and report again.
I don't have the viber app installed. By the way what is this led called and what is its function?
Thanks

If its not the proper led then it must be proximity sensor(uses infrared light to detect proximity)
Normally turns on when u get a call to turn of screen when u hold close to your face.if its not viber then it might be what's app or Skype god knows what(may be try freezing phone apps one by one and find out for yourself)
Its not a bug or anything. Its meant to stay lit this way because its a proximity sensor.
turn off smart stay and anything else you might not need and it will go away
turn this off by go - Setting>Motion> Quick Glance: untick :good:
As I said it went off by restarting. I don't have the problem now to check any solution. Just was curious to know what was it.
While it was on, it stayed on even during the call or even when the display was turned off. I did not have any motion setting enabled.
Thanks everyone for your kind replies. I will see if I get the problem again

I noticed that too, then I realized what was causing this. It's the Quick Glance function on "Motion" that's triggering this, because while the screen is off the phone's proximity sensor checks whether or not you have your hand in front of the screen for activating Quick Glance. In order to do that, the sensor must continously stay on, hence the continous red light.

Proximity Sensor during Calls

Howdy Campers!
Quick question about the proximity sensor and in call screen off. When i have this feature checked "Turn off screenduring calls" should the proximity sensor be active and turn the screen on and off if i have it up to my head??This is what the feature reports to do.
When checked the screen goes off and will not come back on (none of the buttons seem to wake the screen, only end of call will).
Any ideas??
thanks!

Do you have a screen protector on or maybe accidentally covering the proximity sensor? The phone is supposed to wake when the proximity sensor isn't covered, not when the call is ended.

No screen protector or case
actually it looks like the proximity sensor isnt working well for anything....
besides the calls the air gestures (scrolling) stopped working.
I dont think smart stay works either....
i factory reset the phone still nothing
on the lock screen i do see the little white dot follow my hand around so not sure what to think.
any suggestions before i take this back to the store for a replacement?
