Red Light on one of the Sensors - Focus General

i just noticed when i awnsered my phone for a call one of the two sensors at the top(the one on the Left) turned a dim red light and went off when i hung up. What is that? Is it suppose to be a LED Notification Light like on other phones?

Probably the proximity light sense...the thing that turns the screen on and off when you put the phone on your ear and pull away. To my knowledge there is no led light on the phone oddly enough.

How to light up the side buttons?

Hi, does anybody know how to light up the side buttons with which you can pick up and kill call? I mean when the HTC is closed with display in. I guess it would be great to have the light on in the night, but I have no idea how to do it. Somebody guessed that the light comes from display, so it only lights up, when the display is on, but that is not true, because I already had it on, while closed (some application did not close). Any help?

Wierd blinking Problem (thread not to be taken seriously)

I have a very wierd problem with the lights at the top of my device.
I have set my TyTN to flash the light when I receive a new text message. It then blinks orange. Normally it blinks green.
Here is the problem. During the night when i wake up, it feels like the green light lights up my room twice every second, but during the day when i look at my TyTN, to see if I have received an sms i have to wait for 2 seconds for the light to flash.
Just want to hear your input on what might be wrong.
Personally I think that has to do with Einstein's Theory of Relativity rather than with the device itself.
Twice every second is very obvious.. it a 2Hz flickering light that light up your room. If you are sure you are fully awake and still see 2Hz flickering light in your room at night, probably it is a UFO.
lmao yeah id be looking at metal undies you dont know what probes are gunna be comin

[Q] Status LED ?

I tried looking in the forum for any info on the status LED next to the speaker on the front side but I don't see any posts on this. Is this LED supposed to flash or do something? On my HD it has never worked? Is it supposed to work?
I remember on my Artemis it would flash green for good reception, blue for bluetooth and red if the battery was low.

I may be wrong but i was under the impresion that this was a sensor rather than a LED.
No, that's entirely correct, it is the light sensor. The LED is in the power button.
the status led is on the power button on the top right hand side of the blackstone...the place u highlighted is a sensor as what scotia has point out..
I think that it is a proximity sensor used to blank screen when you put the phone on your ear to talk.
It's actually the light sensor used for when you have automatic display brightness enabled. When it's dark, it turns down the brightness... And when it's a sunny day it cracks it up. I am not sure whether it's used to blank the screen during a call... This seems to happen after a period of time has elapsed.

ok thanks for the info.
So does the power LED on the top side flash any color to show the status of the reception or does it only light up orange when it charges?
Thanks.
doesn't do anything for reception..although mine flashes green hen I have a message/email/reminder
pity though, a decent LED to show such things was probably high on everyone's wishlist
No, the HD is perfectly unobtrusive. On my last PDA the LED had to be tweaked to stop flashing.
Too bad this isnt a LED diode Since I got on my Diamond a light notification (on the bottom of device)... when I recieved new sms... now on HD there is no way I can figure do I have new sms or notification unless I turn the screen on. The only hardware flaw by mine opinion
When its lying down, I agree with you. Then I have to turn on the screen. However when its lying next to me I'm usually not in a place were I can't use my phone, so the sound is on anyway.
I actually think its quite good the LED is on the top, it's easelly visible when the phone is in my pocket. I just have to pull the phone up a little and look down to see the LED (no need to get it out and turn the screen on). I like it on the top, nice and discreet, and not anoying me when I'm looking at the device while using it.
Perhaps a combination would be nice? Front and top That would sattisfy most people I guess...

[Q] Is it possible to use the green charging light by the USB for notifications?

Hi all.
When you charge your Flipout, a green light stays on by the MicroUSB port letting you know the phone is charging.
Is there a way to make this green light the notification light?
The default white notification lights on the front of the phone are kind of difficult to see.
I find myself sometimes squinting at the phone trying to determine if it's blinking or not. Obviously if you're in a dark room or something this won't be an issue but in a normal lit environment is where I spend most of my time.
If there is no way to make the green light act as a notification light, perhaps you can have the screen itself light up a few times.
Is anything like this possible or am I out of luck?
Thanks.

tiny red flashing light when on phone

if anyone else has noticed a tiny red quickly flashing light, just above and to the left of the blackberry logo at the top of the screen and was wondering wtf, i am hoping this is the cause.
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackb...all-red-light-keep-blinking-when-call-639980/
looks like it might be a proximity sensor to test if the phone is pressed against your head, to turn the screen back on when you move the phone away.
im guessing/hoping the fact that it flashes while i have a headset plugged in is a bug.
