Hi everybody
I have a little problem
i have an xperia mini pro, and i just installed real ics on it (some days ago)
the touch sensitive buttons started working bad... when i use phone sometimes they do not light up... or they do but with delay... they also do blink with no order...
i hope i did explained myself well... what do ya tell me do you think could be the problem?
thx a lot!
this isn't a problem.. basically our xmp has light sensor on the top.. so when you r in good light condition the touch sensitive button stop to lightning up.. and when the light sensor is not in good light lightning condition it start to lightning up.. when your touch button start to blink up with no order just keep your phone in one state you will understand what happning... i hope you understand..

hey
thx for the answer.. so it's not hardware or software issue?
but i'm pretty sure it didn't happen before (when i hadn't real ics rom... not saying that is because of real ics rom, maybe it only started now)...
and about the light sensor, if i put a torch on it, or i tap it the screen light doesn't change (the intensity)... so does it works or not?
and, sry, but i didn't understand your last words "when your touch button start to blink up with no order just keep your phone in one state you will understand what happning"
thx again!

up pls
in last statement i was saying that if your observe your touch sensitive buttons starts to blink randomly(getting lightning on and off randomly).. just keep your phone stable or in one position .. you will understand what happen..
and regarding display intensity .. you will better observe this thing when you move out in sunlight.. (not sure about this correct me if iam wrong)
yep.. for the screen ya right man... in fact i tried under the sun, but the light remains the same... light sensor doesn't work... but in the installation of real ics rom, if i'm not wrong, i did not choose to disable it... is it better not to have it activated? (someone says yes because it works not well... it's not well calibrated i read)...
for keeping the phone in that position i still do not understand... sorry
however i'm pretty sure it didn't work like that before installing the rom... maybe i will ask in that thread...
however again thx for answering

Hi guys,
Ill start with saying that my english is veryy bad
But my problem is:
I quess my light sensor on my hd2 is almost defect.
why?
When i start a call (or got an incoming call) the screen turns black
(as its suppose to be when you hold it to your ear)
But it turns black all the time, no matter how i hold it.
So i did a quick test, i called a number, and took a very bright light (100w) just next to the sensor. and after that, it doenst turn black for the first time!
So the sensor isnt working correctly anymore?
It is since my telephone has gone back to the shop for a new screen.
Can i make it better with software? Cause it works.. But only with a very bright light.... Or do i need to get back to the shop?
thnx
try a soft reboot and then if needed a hard reboot/factory reset. don't forget to back up the phone first as it wipes the phone
Sorry, i was forgotten to say:
Ive tried different roms, and even Android. Results are always the same!
That is an odd problem. Especially since the ambient light sensor is not what is used to black out the screen during calls. That would be the proximity sensor.
If you look very carefully just to the left of the speaker at the top of the phone you will see the proximity sensor. Do you have a case on your phone that may be blocking/interfering with this sensor? Do you hold your phone in a way that your fingers or hand may be close to this sensor?
Another thing to try is put the call on speaker phone, this should disable the proximity sensor and keep the screen on. If it does not then you may potentially have a hardware issue.
I haven't got something blocking the sensor. But because my screen was broken, they placed another one. (And since then it happend)
Ok, i did some tests..
I cleaned the screen very proper. And i was sure there was no spat of dust or whatever. so i called again.. And it worked properly!
But.. When i put my finger on the sensor.. (So its not 100% clean anymore) it turns black again. So its veeeeery sensitive..
When i turn on the speaker.. It doesnt turn black..
So conclusion:
It turns back way to fast. Only when the screen is 100% clean, and there is enough light in the room.. It works properly..
Aren't there any settings for windows or android to change the sensitivity? Cause this is very annoying..

Not that I'm aware of. It sounds like they didn't do a proper job of replacing the screen. The ammount of light in the room should have no impact on the screen turning on/off. Also, my screen is often quite filthy and I've never had that trip the proximity sensor. It is possible that the sensor was moved or misaligned during the repair.
I know, the blue lights between the physical keys on x10 look pretty, but they drive me crazy when I try to use the phone at night. the lights are just so much brighter than the screen and they burn into my eyes, is there any way to turn it off? Don't care if it requires xrecovery or flashing

Use the custom 2. 2 aosp Rom. The led lights are not working. They work when you first turn on the phone. But once you go to lock screen it won't ever turn on. Be careful when creating new threads like this. A lot of people here will give you a hard time. Next time find a relevant thread and post there.

Sorry if I'm creating a new thread for this topic but i have searched and i still cannot find an answer to my problem. When I'm in a dark room, sometimes even not too dark, if a place a call my phone screen will go off, like to sleep mode, and will never wake up again until either i go to a brighter place or I hook it up to the power (usb cable), has anyone experienced this? and please if someone knows what's going and how to solve this issue, thanks so much for your help!!
I have the same problem too ... but sometime it just light up again directly after I finish the call. I think it has something to do with the ROM itself coz a friend of mine has installed the Incredible S ROM and it works perfectly.
I'll try on my HD2 and let u know .....
oh.. by the way Im using Nuxes One ROM

It is also possible to be a faulty light sensor or even some dirt in front of it, right underneath touchscreen glass!
First of all, you should flash a stock ROM and see what happen: if it's not OK. then you have a hardware problem!
dirt between screen and sensor caused the same to me, I've cleaned it and now is ok
I just bought SSGS2 last week, and i noticed that when i make a call, this the red light will be blinking/flashing. When I compare it to other SSGS2, all of which will have a red light on when make a phone call (not blinking/flashing).
So I was wondering if anyone had the blinking light?
As far as I am concerned, it does not affect usage just yet.
But who knows...it might be a sign of inferior sensor.
Thank you.

Use your phone in the dark, you will see a very dim red glow where the proximity sensor is.
Thank you.
Should it be blinking? or stay on while calling?
Mine is blinking. Those of my friends stay on
can some one please advise, Proximity Sensor should be Blinking/Flashing or solid On when you are on call?
It's blinking for me as well... Why are you guys so paranoid. Is it working? Yes it is.
It blinks extremely quickly, seems like 20 times a second. I can in indoors lighting clearly.

not paranoid mate, just want to find out if this is normal, yes so far this is not affecting performance.
Well my so called proximity sensor "red dot" keeps flickering while in standby/phone locked. I understand it's suppose to be on while on a call etc. but what when the phone is lying idle?
same problem!

I have the exact same problem since yesterday.. have u solved it ? pls help!! it's really annoying
kindly email me if you have method to solve it . [email protected]
I dont know if this is relevant but I've had both the i9100 and the i9100G. On the G variant the blinking of the proximity sensor was pronounced and noticeable.. whereas on the international variant I've never yet noticed it blinking or staying on. Maybe you have the G variant?

If you have Viber, uninstall it! I had that issue few days back. actually I just uninstalled it because it was draining my juice but the then after getting rid of the viber app my proximity sensor was no longer blinking like crazy.
Since I dont use Viber I unistall it.

I have SE LWW i love this phone but what i have notice that it has some problem with the sensor that change the brightness according to the light conditions.
What happens is that sometimes the screen start to flicker that is continuous jump
between low and high brightness which is very irritating.
So please share if any one of u face the same problem or know anything about it.
I m using LwW from yesterday but havnt seen this kind of issue may be needing more time to cross check, will update definitely.

yeah mine too.
i think it's coming from the device light sensor, n we can't fix it until sony put an update.

Weird had the lww too and never had that problem. Do the ones that have it updated your phones?? I am currently on lasan's rom but never encounter it.
thanks for replying guys but i think it is the ambient light sensor problem that means it is a hardware problem so it might not get solved by update.
Be positive most of the times it is a kernel related problem or take to a service center and see if they give you a new one
Live With Walkman
Live with walkman has a ambient sensor in it which changes light accordingly
but i never noticed any flicker in my phone my suggestions would be take the
phone SE service center
the flicker shows when u look at screen from side. but from infront of the screen, it's hard to see.

I confirm this.
When brightness is not full(I used on half on Stock and Hybrom ROMs), then in some conditions the screen indeed does flicker a bit.
That is caused by ambient light sensor, which detects many different light levels at some point, that is the reason for changing screen brightness so much at that time.
Currently, I am not aware of solutions for this, as I do use custom ROM, where I haven't noticed it yet.

I my case the flicker is noticeable from front also.
I think i have to take it to the service center.

Is not a bug, most other phones have it also, that means light sensor works.
It shouldn't damage your phone.
