Upper left corner of the phone.... - Vibrant General

Is that a front facing camera? Next to the speaker it seems that there is a camera there yet the US version of this phone claims to have removed it. So what is that thing?

Ambient light sensor and proximity sensor

Ohhh, nice. Thanks for the quick answer.

The carriage for the ffc is in the upper right corner actually. There is a blank space in the frame that one can be installed in, (check the developement thread or search for ffc mod, its possible) its an involved process, where you do get to know your phone very intimately.

When I first got the phone I noticed that thing in the upper left and initially thought it was a LED indicator. I totally agree that it should have been.

Blackstone Front Light/Led

Hello every B,
i would like your feedback to know if your Front-top Led/Light is working?
The Led/Light just near the Top-speaker phone.
because i don't see this Light Flashing.
Thank for your Fdbck.
What LED? The only LED on the device is in the power button.
In the front top, right of the speaker it's the secondary camera.
There is no light on the front as far as im aware.
The small clear plastic next to the speaker is the light sensor i believe.
ahh
this would be the light sensor?

Obviously not!! The number of repeat questions on these forums prove that people don't abide by the rules and check first.
Regarding to the "Getting Started" we ALL recieved with our HD it IS the Light-Sensor
see Page 25 => http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC_Touch_HD_User_Manual_English.pdf
have we all established its the light sensor????

I know it takes some time to look around and find it, but somewhere in this forum somebody explains what those led-like things are... nothing but some sensors...
Proximity sensors and light sensor.

[Q] track pad light

The track pad had a very dim red light in it when you wake the phone youll see it, its nothing like a notification in the center right side... Just questioning what it is and if we can get to it :/
once you see it youll always see it
I had no idea there was a light in there...ive noticed the red tint to it in some lights but assumed that it was something to do with the touch sensors

also has anyone noticed if your in the dark and light up the keypad light comes through the bottom right corner (right next the the G button) kinda like the paint faded... not a big deal just pissed i noticed it cus now i always see it lol just wondering if everyones is like this... btw sorry if i made you notice it lol

Yea the corner by genius button is just like yours.
I havent noticed a light on the trackpad tho. I even looked around for an app or something to activate it. No luck tho....
its not a light... its a dark red lens that covers the optical trackball... there is no (visible) light what so ever in there... you just held the phone at a odd angle in the right light...
go look at any other optical TB if you dont believe me...they all have a dark red hue (regardless of the battery status on the phone)
unplug phone from charger, pull battery and look closely, it'll still be red, and without power nothing could possibly be "lighting up"

i wasnt saying it was like a led its just a dim light thats behind it which looks red because of the cover on the trackpad... but seeing that made me question if there was a notification light down there like on the nexus one's trackball for instance
There is definitely a light on mine. I see it every time I wake the screen.

i though it may just be light from the menu button peeping through but itll do it when the keys arnt lite up :/ hopefully its an led and we can get it brighter for notifications cus that'd be sick (thats one thing i would of liked how the g2 has it going around the pad)
Afaik the only light down there is infrared... if you can see it you got some sick ass eyes, or the lens on the trackpad is somehow reflecting the light or something... but like I said turn the phone off and pull the batt and I still see a faint red hue in the trackpad...

There is definitely a light in there that illuminates for a brief moment towards the left hand side of the button when you wake up the phone with the track pad. It is no reflection of the infrared, it's a light. Do it in a completely dark room and it will be obvious.
I don't have this at all. If it's a light, it would certainly be more obvious, no? How could a light be so dim?
I noticed this last night when I was cleaning my phone. It is definitely a dim red light.

lol u got some sick ass eyes
Yeah definitely seeing it now too once it has been pointed out. It's more in the left center of my track pad.
I think it's just the trackpad sensor light, similar to the laser light under your optical mouse.
I don't see it doing anything but registering where your finger moves.

That would be the proximity sensor on the front next to the ambient light sensor.

Why is there an infrared light embedded in the notch?

I don't remember where I saw the photo otherwise I'd post it, but there's actually two sensors embedded in the notch that you can see if bright light is shining into it and from the photo that was shown of the 6T it actually appears one of the "sensors" is indeed giving off infrared luminesce.
It's the proximity sensor

No there's two, there's the proximity sensor and then another one.

Proximity sensor and ambient light sensor most likely.
