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...
At the top of the phone you have what i thought were 2 lights, the left turning amber when charging and green when fully charged, when the phone is on normal standby i thought it flashed periodically, does it cos mine does not? secondly the other side which is a 'light sensor' but i thought this went blue when bluetooth was activated, again mine does not, my phone is Brand new with 6.5 preinstalled, is my phone faulty? i am sure on previous HTC models the right side was a 'blue light' so to clarify when my phone is in normal 'standby' there are NO lights, the only lights are on the left side which go amber when charging and solid green when fully charged and flashes green when there is a missed call or sms, the right side appears just to be a 'sensor' Is this all correct.
Any clarification will be much appreciated.
Thanks

On the left you have a LED, which behaves in the way you wrote, except for the fact that it flashes when you have a missed call or a new message, not during normal stand-by. On the right is a light sensor which, of course, will never flash nor become blue when bluetooth is active.
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.
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.

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.
I use a smashed S4 as an external battery charger for my working S4 as i have 2 batteries but recently the notification light has had issues. It has no problem lighting up when booting, but for some reason it flickers and then doesnt work, or just doesnt work, so i have no indication of when the battery has fully charged, i have the screws out so i can open the phone, is there anything i can do?
EDIT: I have noticed it only flickers or not worked if trying to display green light.
