Hi,
I noticed that in the upper left corner, near the proximity sensor when I am on a call there is always a red light flashing. So I thought that maybe that is from the proximity sensor alone, but then I remembered as this is not my first device with a proximity sensor that I have never noticed something like this. I also used HTC Desire and never noticed red light near the proximity sensor. I would like to ask you if you all have it also or maybe it's just on my phone.
Thanks
Good question, I am thinking about this from the beginning

on the left-side face of my DI. Is that what they are? They are just a little bit bigger than the charging indicator light on the right side. Anyone else notice these?
those are the light sensor and proximity sensor
Thanks.
Any time

when set to auto adjust, the brightness goes up when light levels increase. fine.
when light levels are low or darkness, they never seem to dim back to low level.
they only dim back if i switch the screen off/on
do i have fault or is the a feature?
Iv heard if you have a screen cover on teh front it can cause problems. I have the zagg invisible sheild, and dont have a problem with it.
i have the same problem... and i canot find a aplication to set up how much light to give at display for each value it gets from light sensor... something like in windows mobile...the autoadjust is crap it hurts my eyes in a totaly black room
The official HTC screen protectors have holes in them where the sensors are located. There's a light sensor to adjust the screen brightness, and the proximity sensor which turns off the screen when the phone is next to your face on a call. You can't see them by looking at the phone alone, but they're there at the top of the phone screen, near the speaker.

I always thought that both sensors were incorporated in the sensor to the right of the speaker grille, but one day I got another camera phone and had a look at the speaker/sensor combination while my DHD was making a call. There seemed to be some IR light coming from behind the grille itself. Is the proximity sensor really placed behind the grille?
there is a weird (faint) red light when I'm in a call, anyone know what this is??
(when I take a picture of it using my sensation camera it looks very bright but in real life it is faint like you wouldnt notice it until you look closer)
its there whether screen is on or off, and and if i put my hand over it it just stays lit
is it infrared or something to detect when my ear is near the screen??
My understanding is that is the sensor that tell the phone if your head is next to it or not.
As above, its the proximity sensor for turning the screen off when your face is near the phone.
There are loads of threads on Crackberry about it as their sensor flashes quite noticeably.

Hi all. There are 2 LEDs, but when flashlight is on, only one (on the top) is active. I thought the second one can be activated when camera is used, but no, it does not help. Any ideas on how and when it should be active? Can someone check this on your device so that I can know whether it is a hardware issue with my phone? Thanks in advance!
It seems that's a kind of light sensor, or infrared led - because it even doesn't shine when I apply external 365nm UV light source.
It's the second light sensor which measures light coming from the back side of the phone. When you shine a strong light directly on this sensor, screen brightness bumps up after a while. It doesn't happen if you cover the sensor by finger. The purpose is to have screen readable when you're holding the phone against bright background (window, TV screen...) and in my experience it's quite a nice feature.
