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

Hi,
This a rare but known issue with the proximty sensor. Try searching for proximty sensor you'll find some entries read through them maybe there's already a fix.
I don't know if it'll work but you can try to recalibrate the sensor. Here's the link. "How to" is included.
Maybe it helps.

Hi all,
My light sensor appears to be broken on my phone, I put it to my ear when making a call but when i return the screen is still black.
The screen does not return to normal till the other person hangs up (anserwing mchines are giving me the rage lol)
Does anyone know how to fix it? or just turn that function off? Not sure why its suddenly broken.
cheers for your help
yes go to settings and screen disable auto light
Could be an issue of your Rom...
you can check if it is actually broken with this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858&highlight=proximity+recalibrator
Take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum on the top left of your screen,around the screen seal, small dust particles can get in there and affect the light sensor. It worked for me... give it a shot!

Does anyone know what is the little red light that comes on occassional on the upper left part of the phone casing?
Just to be clear, its not the phone charging light, it is on the left hand side.

NotifierPro can cause it to remain on.
All of a sudden my proximity led is on consistently.
Any ideas why? I don't have any apps or processes open that would cause it.. at least I think I don't.

It shouldn’t be ON all the time. There must be some background app causing it, if not try restarting the phone.
Hard reset, that should clear it up

Mines on constantly now too. Resetting didn't help.
Running Android 4.1 JB & faux kernel.
I’ve got one question. I’m the owner of HTC One X and I’ve noticed little red dot which is lightning all the time only when I’m talking on the phone with someone. Do you got the same?
The red dot is next to Proximity sensor but more to the left. I’ve took some pictures of that dot (in picture it looks like blue but in fact it’s red). Any ideas of what it could be?

It's the proximity sensor and no problem it's the same for all of us
Hi, it's the proximity sensor that will turn the backlight off when you're in a phone call.
Yep. This is the proximity sensor. It senses whether you're holding your phone close to your ear or away to determine whether to partially lock the screen or not.
If you are experiencing problems with the sensor, download an app called Elixir 2, tap sensors, scroll down to proximity sensor and start the test. Move your hand towards and away from the red light and make sure the graph which comes up recognises these changes

Viber is a free messaging and calls app... try closing some of your apps, via process of elimination you'll probably find the culprit.
I did the same with viber, but it was soon fixed via an app update
you people worry too much :laugh:
Thank you. As hadmin said I was worried about that dot but I see that there is nothing to worry about. Thanks again.
Hi as the question says
Did anybody notice a small blinking circle (will be around 1mm size), around 1 cm to the right of the camera when you place a call on the note 10 +
or is it only me?
During calls I noticed it.

It appears to be the prox sensor (for turning the phone screen off when its up to your ear). That's what I've been seeing in comments of other people seeing the flashing during calls.
I believe it is the proximity sensor

okay thanks... was worried it might be dead pixels
Hopefully a sensor and not a pixel issue. Happening to me
Yes, proximity sensor. S10+ 5G has it also.

That would be the proximity sensor
It is the proximity sensor.
And by the way it doesn't work well at all on my S10 plus. When I am on the phone the screen would turn on and then my ear would start tapping on the screen turning things on and off.
Pretty annoying, so I had to learn to manually turn the screen off with the power button every time before I answer or make a call...
I sincerely hope they have somehow found a way to improve it with the Note
just now saw it whilst playing a whatsapp voice message. when i put my finger over it, the phones speaker will shut off which seems to confirms its proximity sensors.
i did notice after some seconds, maybe a minute, the blinking light stops on whatsapp if you are listening to a speaker call on whatsapp... i have the whatsapp on full screen mode so the green part of the phones GUI is up there...
I noticed this today also when I placed a call. I dont make calls much so I just noticed it after 2 days. Just had some free time now and quickly rushed to locate this thread I had seen yesterday I believe.
What a relief it's the proxi sensor.

Working quite well for me so far.
It shows that Samsung has the ability to create camera under screen, but they didn't most likely due to photo quality
Good to know it's the proximity sensor.
Mine appears to flash rapidly more than blink though lol.
I thought I had a defective note. Thanks for the info.

It's the same thing just like S 10
those of us coming from the Note 9 that didn't have this, it's a new thing to discover...
When I first noticed it I thought dead pixel lol but it only visible during calls iv noticed
Yes, it is the proximity sensor, it is sad that this sensor implementation does not allow third party apps to use it, I used gravity screen in my past devices to turn screen off when in pocket or turn it on waving over the sensor, but now the app became useless, I use macrodroid, but it is not as good as gravity screen
does anyone else have a problem with the proximity sensor not turning the screen off during the call over telegram, threema etc.?
