Hey all I have cm10 installed and there are two sensor in front of the phone. The one on the left closest to the g in Samsung is lit up a faint red. Not sure why and if someone let me know what going on.
Thanks

That's the proximity sensor it detects things like u putting ur phone to ur face during a call and shuts the screen off. It's normal I see it on my stock rom from time to time

Any app that makes use of the proximity sensor will cause it to turn on. I think the last time I saw mine I was using a chat app that turned the screen on when the phone was touched.

I like having the notification LED blink when my phone is off and an email comes in, but I find it distracting if I am doing something on the phone.
I didn't want to make a standalone app to do this--I don't want to waste system resources running too many utilities at once--so I added code to disable the notification LED blinking when phone is on to Earpiece, since I already use Earpiece. To enable, start Earpiece, press MENU, Settings, and turn on the relevant option. Earpiece is a hodge podge of stuff I use: quieting the camera (not quite to zero, but very quiet, and in all camera apps, not just the stock one), auto speaker phone (speaker phone when phone away from face, earpiece when phone close to face), etc.
No root needed.
How do you get phone to use led notifications at all other than while charging?

I don't think I have any trouble with that. The red light turns off periodically. Or so I remember.
I mean notification does not work at all except showing when charging... That's it

I'm assuming your on a custom Rom that doesn't support it. The notification light can blink while your screen is off to show that you have missed calls/texts/emails etc.

Because it has to be turned on, I'm not actually sure where in stock the setting is dotne I've been on cm9 for so long. Op should know
Edit: actually I remember it being on by default when I first got my phone, so are you sure we have the same phone?

Hi everyone
I just noticed while being in the dark a red light to the right of the front speak (on the side where the camera is) is always on.
Why is this?

I noticed it too. I think its an infrared sensor. Maybe so the stay awake and smart rotation features work in the dark.

Rebooting your phone should work to turn it off.
Turn off quick glance in settings-motions, that solved it for me.

It's the proximity sensor.
I use screenOn to save the power button. Like Rhiannon said, if you have quick glance on, it will also use it

On my phone primarily during youtube the phone vibrates like it's getting a text but there is no text happened 3 times since time of purchase which was Launch day.
Anybody got a clue why or has it happened to you?

Mine has a short vibrate sometimes when I go to pick it up after sitting for a few minutes. A little more then keyboard feed back. But screen is locked and phone is asleep.

ummm i'm not sure if you guys are aware but there is a option in the setting that vibrates the phone if you have any new/incoming notifications while the screen is off, that way you dont have to turn the screen on if u dont feel the vibration... but if you do feel a vibration that means you have a new notification, excuse me if you guys were already aware of this future.
I am not getting a notification at all it just vibrates and there is nothing happening at all. No notification at all.

I used to have that problem on my s3... Not as frequent but it would beep too and I think it was an app running in the background. ..

My phone does this as well. I thought it was a feature that I hadn't turned off
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I'd also like to add that it doesn't have to be vibrating. It only ever vibrated when my phone was in vibrate mode. however if you turn the volume up, it would make a da da sound like a notification.

This is my second note. The first one I had the red led charge light would be on when charging with the screen off then it would turn green when charged. I looked at the settings and the box is checked for it but it never comes on. I think when I first got this one I noticed it working. But now I cant figure out what I did to make it not work. Any ideas?

I'm not sure what's going on. I've had this problem for a while, but I finally decided to write about it. During a call my proximity sensor will turn off the screen like it should when I put the phone to my face. But when I take the phone away from my face the screen will not come back on. I have checked my settings and everything is enabled that should be.
I am stock rooted with Kit Kat. Is anyone having any similar problems? Please let me know.
Thanks

Make sure you have no dust over the proximity sensor . Use compressed air. I posted a similar thread .
