I don't use pocket mode and AOD, But the proximity sensor blink endlessly.
I know this is invisible light, It can cause cataracts.

Hi pals!
I've been surfing this site for long time. I've had a lot of fun with all the different applications in here and now I've got a request.
I've found some applications for proximity sensor, I've seen those that turn off the screen when detect proximity. But I haven't found the one that turns on the screen once it detects the proximity again.
I'd like to put my Leo on the table and pass my hand in front of the sensor to turn the screen off and pass it once more to turn it on.
Anyone?
My new defy 's proximity sensor seems cannot work correctly,when i making a call ,the screen shut off immediately，and the screen could not light on by any key,but when i touch the proximity sensor with my finger,the screen may be light on!
so i download a app to test the proximity sensor which name's"Android sensor data",this app fingue out the state of proximity sensor,"near" or "far",sometimes I just passing my finger over the proximity sensor, the reading will show 'near' and then remain 'near' even when my finger is moved away!
Can anyone else help me to calibrate the proximity sensor?google told me some android phone can do this ,such as htc, zte etc.
goole tell me android phone have some standard testcode,such as *#*#4636#*#* can show the phone statue,it works correstly in Defy,*#*#0588#*#* test the proximity sensor ,but it doesn't work in defy!!!
is in-pocket detection enabled?
it gave me lots of problems in the past
So I just happened to notice that the sensor blinks on and off rapidly because I was using my webcams mirror mode and saw it flashing (invisible to the human eye). I cant help but wonder why on earth it is active while the screen is locked? Any thoughts? Or anybody actually know why?
Because it is used as a proximity sensor: the phone senses when it is in your pocket or not so it can change the ring tone volume. I think it is also used as a "mute" sensor when you lay your phone screen down on the table but I am not sure of that.
Can any body tell me which mobile display & what kind of sensor it is?coz receantly i replace my screen.
Here is the pic-
It's the proximity and ambient light sensor.
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.
