My proximity sensor seems to be working maybe 30 percent of the time, it was mentioned that doing a full reset of the device fixed the problem for someone else. I am curious if anyone else having issues or just want to test their own could do these steps:
Troubleshoot:
On your phone open the dialer, like you are going to dial the phone number of a friend. Instead dial *#*#3424#*#* (*#*#DIAG#*#*). It will take you to the HTC Function test application. On the white screen, press accept and look for a "P-Sensor" test. Press the item and hit run and it will take you through a test of the sensor. This will help you further determine if there is an issue or not.
Edit: not using a screen protector and screen is clean.
Mines just fine, no screen protector.
Edit: I can have my hand about 3 inches away before it stops.
Just tried to do a factory reset on mine, guess im going to have to return it..however the hell I'm supposed to do that I have no idea...

Mine's like this too but I may just keep it.
I seem to have issues with past phones proximity sensors... being too close meant the screen would come on and i'd push buttons/mute/hang up on the other person all of the time. I'd have to intentionally hold the phone a little ways from my ear so the screen stays off.
And that's just stupid. I don't mind having to hit the power button to hang up the call. I'd say mine only works 1/25 times. Usually the screen just stays dark constantly.
No screen protector, clean screen.
Mine's same way, if I'm on a call the phone looks dead. I have to hit power to get it on to end the call or interact with it.
I have a replacement coming from telesales, hope it fixes it. Is there anyone who has one that works perfect? lol

Did they give you a timetable on when it would be shipped? I tried calling today regarding my borked Google Wallet and they authorized a new device but the order support department is closed and they are suppose to call me back tomorrow.
In playing with the diagnostic mode I don't believe these phones even have a proximity sensor. I think its relying 100% on the light sensor. try it... the phone screen won't turn on automatically when its not very bright out.
I only see one hole in the face of the phone and I assume that's the light sensor.

i thought that was by design... the proximity sensor IS the light sensor, that controls auto-brightness, and if its doing like a call, if light is dark, it goes off. (saves money, real estate, and battery, only one sensor instead of 2)
That was also why if you press it up to your face too fast, screen stays on and buttons press. if you smash it on your face, the screen light reflects off your face enough to trigger the sensor to think its still 'bright' out. you have to semi-deliberately, (means:slower-ly) raise the phone to your ear so there's the second of darkness before the screen light starts bouncing off your face strong enough to trigger it.
p.s. - this is also more of a wpp
Mine turns off and on based upon how much natural light it sees. In a well lit room without sunlight, it does not turn off. In sunlight, you can turn it off and on by moving it away from the sunlight.
If you have the phone in a call, I can see a small red light next to the proximity sensor. If not in a call, the light is not turned on.
I am not please with how this works. I can't see the dial pad without pressing the power button inside.
I'm hoping that this is something that can be fixed without replacing the hardware.

That's funny if it's true. Ha ha. So if you bring the handset up to your ear at a typical rate (like most everyone does), the sensor wont turn the screen off? Brilliant.
So I guess lighter skinned people have this issue more than dark skinned people? Great design.
I am having major issues with this now. It has steadily got worse each day. I see the little red light come on right next to the sensor when I make a phone call and it messes up. It will not go away unless I restart or shutdown the phone, and as soon as I make another phone call the red light is back on. I don't know what the issue is but it's getting annoying. I have the HD screen protector but it seems to be placed right and not blocking the sensor so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I would love to know if it is a software issue and if it can be fixed.

And? If that's the proximity sensor, please tell me where the light sensor is.
I just noticed the small red light when in a call - but it doesn't seem to make a difference. My phone only turns the screen on when exposed to pretty much direct sunlight.
In my apartment or pretty much any place indoors without overhead lighting the screen just stays off during calls.
I'll have to watch the light now too though. Looks like it doesn't always turn off when ending a call.
Does anybody thats having the proximity issue also have the glass slightly raised on the same corner as the sensor? I think this is directly related, mine is slightly raised and if I push it down flush my proximity works perfectly. Somebody else please try and mayb it is a hardware issue afterall.

Yes but good call.
Mine is only BARELY lifted in that corner. If I push down hard, the sensor functions as normal.
Just like my E3D I'll probably keep this flaw in my back pocket per se till I feel like getting the phone replaced for a scratch or something.
Im gonna wait a couple weeks and get it replaced, its too annoying lol

hi there...
nothing special, just wanna ask if on ur evo´s also *only* the search button´s backlight is a little active?!
running high rom, but its the same like on stock rom
If I had to guess the buttons light has been turned off completly, and what you are seeing is called "light bleed" the light from your screen is simply showing up on the search button,
This wouldn't be a problem stock because you wouldn't have the lights off in the first place

I guarantee it happened before you rooted too. You just didn't notice.
The backlight on the search button looking like its still light a little is a hardware defect. It's the screens backlight shining through and being visible in the search like. I've taken my phone apart a few times looking for its source. Can't seem to find it.

I wouldn't call it a defect as to the phones developers(HTC) this wouldn't be a problem as they would leave the lights at full brightness in the first place regardless of whoever buys the phone(Sprint) so you wouldn't see the light bleed, so it was never considered a problem,
There are ways to adjust those buttons brightness... I've even seen a .zip to make them dimmer, I like it set to 2 all the time myself... Saves battery also as a result of less current going to the lights...

Did you read what I wrote? The light shining through the search button is NOT light coming from the led that is meant to illuminate the search button. Its light leaking from the actual screen. If you turn the capacitive lights off and then adjust the screens brightnessm you will see the search button light brighten and dim along with the screen. That is a defect. Its been discussed here a few times
And a lot of us have it. It's not a big deal unless it bugs you a lot.
There is no way software can fix it

LOL, obviously u didn't read what I posted... My point being there is no way this is considered a manufacturing defect.... You were never intended on actually seeing the light bleed to begin with... The lights arnt meant to go that low... The same way as the phones wernt designed to flash custom roms... This is just what we do.... If you left your phone completly stock you would never see the search button bleed....
So how can it be a defect if your never intended on seeing it there.... Because you see it you think its a defect... This is not the case... It is simply not intended to be seen.. therefore it was never a problem until we rooted.... So it is a result of us messing with the phone not a defect....
So if you flashed a custom rom and you got a bootloop.... Would you consider this a defect or a bad flash? It's a bad flash as a result of something you did to the phone not something that was wrong with it to begin with....

Not to dig it up again. but kindof looking to see if someone actually was able to rip their phone apart and fix this "defect" themselves?
And Hitman... Dude, seriously. You have no clue what you are talking about. Not rooted, upon the first splash screen, fresh out of the box.. my phone had the search button partially light. This is NOT.. repeat. NOT a "feature". I don't understand how you think me saying a half-light button being a defect is ridiculous. I think you saying a half-light button was by design sounds 3 times worse.
I, and a couple other people brave enough to open the phone up can VERIFY without a shadow of a doubt that this is a HARDWARE DEFECT. having the phone open and turned on. you will see that NONE of the 4 LED lights for the capacitive buttons are on, but there is light leaking from the actual screen. There are plastic, clear tabs that direct the LED lights that are way too close to this leaking light and there is no way to cover it easily without tearing the phone down even further.
I mean, come on... if you saw this on a feature list: "search button always partly light when screen is on." would you think that was a useful feature?
I noticed this problem too.
I made 2 photos of this if anybody want to see this (d)effect:
I'm pretty sure that this rubber element is the problem:
(photos from iFixit).
There is no way you can get to it without breaking open the touch panel.

Really like the N10 but this makes build quality seem a little shoddy.
It's annoying to hear the click every time its re-positioned in my hands.
Might just be a defective unit, mine doesn't do that at all.

This wouldn't bother me anyway tbh. I'm concerned about bad backlight bleed.
Same here, no flex.
You press on your car hood and it's going to dimple and make noise too. Are you going to RMA it too?

it's irritating simply because its noticeable every time you switch hands or re-position the N10 in your hands--something you do often while holding a 10" slab of glass that weighs over a pound for an extended period of time.
If the hood on my car made a sound every time i turned i would probably RMA it too.
I'll be honest though, i am torn on a RMA because i think a lot of people return too many items driving up the cost for everyone. I'd never return something because the screen looks uneven with a pure black image in a completely dark room because it's something i'd never notice in regular use.
If it was just flex i wouldn't give a crap but the sound however is hard to ignore when reading or browsing the web in a quiet environment.

Is not uneven, it's areas of the screen that are much brighter than others on a black screen.
You would notice it in normal usage if your planning on watching dark videos on it.
I agree, slight bleed is ok because you won't notice it at a lower brightness level in the dark.
However bad backlight bleed where a reasonably big portion of the screen is alot brighter than the rest would be very distracting whilst watching a dark film.
I have a bit a flex (well, its not flex, more like its hollow underneath) right around the 'S' area of the Nexus. But i dont care.

If I really push I get a slight click. As I don't push on the back of my device with force too often I'm not seeing it as a problem.
I was more concerned about dead pixels. I have none, I do have some light bleed though but since its only noticeable in the dark when I have brightness up maybe 25% its not a problem as it is only noticeable at 100% brightness
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I noticed today I have this flex in the back too. I also have some bleed in both bottom corners and a small amount at the top. None of this is really bad enough to bother me that much. I was just wondering if there could be any correlation between this flex and light bleed. Anyone that doesn't have the flex, do you have light bleed?
Mine just came in about an hour ago. The little bit of light bleed I can live with, but the back cover looks like somebody stepped on it in the middle, there is significant bowing, and associated creaking and popping.
Already processed an RMA with Google, replacement should be on the way.
But other than that, this thing rocks so far.

Bro, do the RMA. That's not normal, on mine there's a slight give when firm pressure is applied. It feels natural though, like that's what's supposed to happen when that much pressure is applied. You definitely can't feel any play or hear any clicking noises while handling it. I get that your trying to be considerate and everything but there's a limit, you paid good money for the device, don't sell yourself short.
If you can take the back off, maybe you can take a hairdryer to it and gently melt it flat. Can't say I know anyone who's tried this though, just a random thought
Hey guys!
so this has happened to me a few times now with this V10... I'm not sure what to make of it, and haven't been able to nail down a fix or cause... But the screen starts to randomly display blacks as greys the whole screen seems to go pale or grey... Like this, with Tapatalk I have the dark theme, its black normally, but here its grey. The only thing that fixes is a lock then unlock, but that doesn't keep it fixed. It will go away within a few minutes, but strange. Any opinions?

Yeah had the issue on all three v10's Ive owned. The first two had to do a factory reset. This one did it once and that was it. Don't know what causes it, but it's a backlight thing. This is why it's not showing up in the screen shot.
I've seen the phone adjust contrast such that the screen appears lighter (blacks become grays, etc). This only happens when the phone is in direct sunlight. It's apparently a "feature" to help you see the screen better, with no way of disabling. It does go back to normal as soon as you get the sensor out of direct sunlight.

It doesn't happen in G3 and it was implemented first (AFAIK) with Lumia 920 which is another proof that that device was way ahead of its time.

It is a feature. Much like the Notion Ink Adam with pixel qi screen, would act like a paper White type screen on readers when exposed to strong light or direct Sun light. Any other device or phone in same situations I've not been able to see or read the screen eve with Hand over it to shadow, except my G4 and now v10. Love the feature.

It's possible the proximity sensor detects ultraviolet (from the Sun) to determine it's outdoor.
Cover it with your finger to see.
Yes I have noticed this feature also and I must say it does work really good!
I've found it to be a help, now that I expect it. It is exactly that, doees it in sunlight. Thanks guys!

This was also a feature on the note 4. I find it very useful.
Also. Doesn't the lumia deal with it a different way? I had the T-Mobile lumia 810 with clearback(?) Technology and when outdoors the screen didn't seem to do the same where it gets very bright and light. It was as if you were looking at the screen indoors

They might have different screens, not sure. But Lumia 920 goes very grayish under sun; blacks becoming dark gray etc.
Im about to buy a V10 but I has heard about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen. Is it happen on all the v10 or just some and I can exchange for a new one if it happen to me?
It's all of them...is only noticeable really when the screen is off in a dark room....not a deal breaker for me...this phone is awesome!
Well, its an issue on all v10s, and personally I don't mind it. It winds up looking like a gradient from the top right corner that occupies roughly 5-10% of the main screen, with no line or anything between the first screen and the second screen. I would take a pic for you, but I don't have a camera that can pick it up. What you could do is go into a store and cover the phone with like a jacket or something and look under there while its off to see if you have an issue with it.

It'll look like you're trying to steal the phone lol [emoji23]
Anyhow it's there but it's really not a big deal

Well, you could let the store associates know about it first. [emoji13]

well it's literally a hardware issue, I think I will just go to a store and test it, If it is not a big deal, then I will buy it or wait till LG fix it because I saw some look that pretty bad on youtube

As the others have said, it's definitely there. It all boils down to personal preferences - it's definitely there on mine and it can be a little annoying at times but I love the phone enough to overlook it. Just basically becomes what you're willing to look the other way on.
Mine has the light bleed ... but it's only noticeable in a dark room when the screen goes dark - then for the next 30 seconds the second screen stays lit and you see the light bleed. Once the 30 seconds passes, the second screen dims and the light bleed is nearly impossible to see.
3 of my associates have this phone and 2 of them do not have any light bleed at all. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an AT&T or Verizon version - some have no bleed, some do.
It shouldn't bother you. Then again, if you're anything like one of my OCD associates, it might make you insane, as he returned 2 of them till he got one that didn't have any bleed.
Mine has it too. I don't think it's a deal-breaker but you will notice it in a completely dark room.
Here's a photo showing it.

This was taken in a completely dark room with a 10 second exposure, at pretty much the worst angle for seeing the bleed.
I can see it on mine in a dark room only. Doesn't bother me one bit
I've gone through 3 devices. The first two were both from an 11/15 batch of phones, and had very noticeable light bleed, with one even having some on the upper left of the main screen as well. On these phones, you could notice it even with lights on as the icon on the left of the second screen was noticeably brighter/more vivid than the rest of the icons, which looked pale and washed out. The third phone is from a 12/15 batch, and is much better. It shows a slight bit of bleed like the picture in the post above, but none on the main screen. The light bleed it does have is really only able to be seen at night in a dark room. Otherwise you can't tell at all and that screen's blacks are just as inky black as the rest of the screen.
LoL. yea i noticed it too. reminds me of my very old CASIO watches when u press the light button to see the digital screen at night. However, not a deal breaker at all. i barely notice it every now and then

how do you know the batch of the phone?
i also notice the light when i looking direct/normal at the screen should I get replacement? i just got it today kind of sad i talk to LG about it they say should I get new phone at the store apparently is a known issue for them
Mine has it also but it is visible only in completely dark room with main screen off and second screen is bright. If both screens are on or second screen is dim (i use auto brightness so this is the case most of the time) it is not visible. It does not annoy me at all. Now i use nillkin leather quick cover case so it is not visible at all because main screen turns on automatically by opening the cover.
Anyone have a fix for this? It works about 5 times out of 10, very frustrating.
Is power management active? Just a guess.
It seems to be a common Sony problem.
Maybe it's just technique, see link.
I'd kill if I didn't have 2X tap on/off... it's so useful.
I also use the the Double Tap app on my N10+'s.
May not work on 11 and 12.

works here just fine. Would not say 100% but it has more to do with my inconsistent tapping than with the device. Was the same on XZ2.
Thank you for this.

Tried the app, my phone will not allow me to access the accessibility service permissions to make it work. Thanks for trying.

It needs permission in Setting>Accessibility>Installed Services.
See if the option is there. Gookill has made a mess of Android.
I would like to use it but there is issue eith it. Often it gets double tapped in my pocket and random things is touched sometimes im calling to someone from my pocket. By the way block random touch in pocket feature is turned on.

Not sure with Sony, Samsung's have a couple features to mitigate this.
Place with display facing away from your skin.
Place in pocket by the sides not the display.
Use a case with slightly raised guards on the sides.
non of that will help. I can confirm this. Also, the same was happening on my XZ2. I would fine the phone warm just to realize that it did who knows what.
What helped in my case was pattern lock. But that greatly ruined my experience because I usually don't use any locks on my devices. On mark IV i can't get my music player to be always present on lock screen, only if it is playing, which was the main reason why I used that, turned that off. AOD as such is ggod enough option for me.

The display will not activate unless touched, it's that simple. Dry cloth has no effect.
but many other things that get in contact through the cloth have. Zippers, keys, hands, wet cloths, poles in public transport........Yeah. it should not be happening but it did happened waaaaaay to many times to be just a coincidence.

You need to sort it out. This isn't rocket science.
Water should never come in contact with the phone even if ip68 rated.I keep the N10+ in my bdu pant thigh cargo pocket by itself facing outward. Sometimes vest pocket.
It also is in a Zizo Bolt case. I have little accidental turn ons.
Been using it like this for 3 years.
Samsung's have a system app that help block accidental touches if it senses random hits it requires a swipe to turn on the display. There may be a similar app on Playstore.
so does have a SONY. And it is not something that happens 37x per day but it happened enough times on XZ2 and a few times on 1 IV to make me realize that it can happen.
yup. turned off accidental touch in pocket setting to see if it helps

Happens occasionally to me but it's always my fault when or how I place it in my pocket. In 3 years of heavy usage the accidental turn on's never caused any system or app damage. Cargo pockets are ideal, I use bdu's with button closure; the rearward one buttoned, the forward one unbuttoned. It never falls out even when running.
Easy to access and a relatively safe storage area.
A well designed case helps a lot with this issue especially with curved displays. They case should have side guards slightly higher than the display, end guards even higher. Helps prevent damage in face plant drops too.
Double tap works fine for me I've had my phone for a week now.
