Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. When using Screen Filter to turn off the bottom softkey row backlight, the search key is still slightly illuminated. I can only guess this is light bleed from the LCD? Just wondering if anyone else had it.
Thanks.

Thanks, now I don't feel alone haha. I confirmed it's the LCD by changing the brightness of the backlight in settings, and the key gets bright/dim with it. Not sure if all Evo3Ds are like this.
Me too

same here..
Yup is the LCD light.. I have the same glowing search.

Ditto.
How ironic - on my 4G, I had a little bit of light my from my buttons bleeding out into my screen. Now my screen is bleeding into my buttons....

It so you can find the search button in the dark, a exclusive evo3d feature.
Has anyone else noticed a red light near the speaker (the one you put up to your ear) on the left side above the (proximity?) sensor? I have had my rezound just over 2 months and noticed it for the third time today and am courious what it is.

yep it's like an RF signal..that's the proximity sensor
Yeah it is the proximity sensor. It uses IR... sometimes when it is on full power you can see it is dim lit areas.
Also has the lught sensor in it for auto screen brightness..
Oh ok, makes sense. I was confused because I only got to see it a few times. Thanks guys.

Hey I just want to ask what this little red light that turns on when the screen is on, it's the one beside the earpiece on the right side.
This is on my mom's phone so I won't know what this is, hence the question

How come on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S they aren't lit up when screen is on

Because they're different phones.

Touchwiz uses the proximity sensor doesn't it? AOSP roms do not. It doesn't light up on my S3 with an AOSP rom.
Alright thanks for answering my questions. Lol

Mines never lit up, on stock or any custom rom. I'll check again maybe when it comes close to the head it comes on.

I just found out why it lights up
It lights up when you have motion enabled

I have all motion options enabled but still can't see it turn on.
Anyone else has it working?

What's funny is I have the exact opposite situation, I have all motion options disabled but occasionally see it, I can't remember when I see it and under what conditions so I'll post back when I have more useful info. It looks like an infrared light so I'm wondering if it might be able to take commands from another device.
Here are links to 2 other forums speaking about this issue:

Guys the question has already been answered in the 2nd post. Its the proximity sensor and it can light up on different occasions, such as during calls and possibly in text messages etc if you have direct call enabled.

We all read it thanks for pointing it out. We are talking about it's lighting up or not lighting up in what conditions.... NOT what it's supposed to do, do read the comments above urs.
He was referring th lordazoroth who believed it to be a infrared emitter/receiver.

Ok. Let me make it a bit clearer for you. When your in a dark environment, dial a number and it will turn on. If direct dial is also on, when you put it near your head, as it starts to dial remove it and you will also see it lit. Nothing more nothing less as far as I know. The reason most people don't notice it is because the light is very feint and on most occassions can't be seen.

Alright I have more information, I do not have direct calling enabled so when I'm texting the light does not turn on. However when I'm in the middle of a call, I'll see the little red dot light up faintly and the screen will turn off when my head gets close to it. Interestingly enough, there is a cone of detection coming from the light (or directly next to the light). When I move my finger within the cone of detection, projecting from the light, the screen will turn off. When my hand or head is close to the phone without blocking this cone of detection, the phones screen will not shut off. I would assume that due to how dark my testing conditions were (including the screen being nearly pitch black), this would appear to be an infrared detection system. Therefore it should serve any purposes in which proximity detection is needed, including direct calling and automatic screen control. If a program were written, I'm guessing this infrared sensor could be used for any number of things, including remote control and even data transfer.
Interestingly, my Nexus S 4g seems to have a very different detection system, there is no tiny red light nor is there a cone of detection projecting from the front. Instead when anything sizable comes near the top of the device (from the front, top, and/or back) the screen shuts off during a call, which indicates some type of field detection. I'm guessing these two devices have different proximity detection systems either for power conservation, cost of manufacture, or both.
Its proximity sensor. . . Don't worry its not causing any harm. and near to this is RGB sensor.

Thanks, i was thinking it would be easily visible but it's really faint light and visible under dark conditions only. My guess is it might be infrared light for the sensor. I used to have night vision option in video camera and could see bright light coming out of remote controls dont' know where i placed my old handy cam but if someone has it they can test it out and see if it emits IR light as well.
Hi I just bought the HTC One X+ and I noticed my capacitive buttons are not backlit ? Is that normal? I cant find ant settings on turning them on.
When I hold the power button for a while to restart the device they blink for a while but thats about it.
Thanks
Try covering up ur light sensor with ur finger for a sec.

oh didn't realize they only work in the dark. Do I feel silly now. Thanks
Does anyone else have an issue where during a call you pull the phone away from your face and it switches to another app? For me it ends up going to the clock app. I have to pull down the notification bar and click on my call to get back to that screen.
Running 10.2 8/24 build.
Is the screen turning off when you hold the phone up to your ear? Almost sounds like a proximity sensor issue.

Yes
Ya this happens on some AOSP ROMs...
I've just made a habit of pressing the power button before I put it to my face.

Ah. I've been more conscientious about watching the screen turn off as I move it back to me ear and making sure the screen turns off.
