Has anyone noticed that a circular light sometimes appears around the front camera sensor.
It seems to happen me when my face unlock fails to work.
There is no info on this light.
If it is there,
Are there any settings for it ?
It would be good as a notification light
My friend, that is a very good point. I just noticed it myself after your post, never noticed that before. I would be great if it could be used as a notification light.
I haven't tried it but this seems to be a solution which works on another Realme device:
That is to show something is using your camera, it's a new privacy safety feature.
For example if some shady app is recording you that's a way of telling you. Same for the rear camera, it shows a green dot on right side.

I think this light can be used even for notifications like the Redmi K20 Pro phone which has a light on the pop-up camera and I used this phone for a long time. This light looks cool if it is in the Realme GT 2 Pro!
I'm in India and it is releasing on 14th April so I'm still waiting for this phone.
it's just an indicator that tells you the phone is detecting face.
I have a Samsung S21 from my work and that does exact the same thing with the selfie camera. I think it's an android 12 thing.

As per title, it seems the Flashlight app's illumination intensity is slightly darker than that of the camcorder. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Because of that, I am using LED Light app. Any other I tried was weak.
Probably try to avoid burning the flashlight
Hi,
I installed tesla flashlight and it was on a weak led light but still i didn't notice anything weird.
Then rooted the phone with super one click and went to film something and the led was weak as in tesla flashlight.
Now I wonder what did it. I already had to trade this defy phone because the first one came with 3 dead pixels. Now I have to do it again for a bad led light?
Is it a defect in production or what? I have barelly used this led, even with photos dare say any flashlighting was only for testing.
I have had a nokia xm5800 for like 2 years+ and the led still works fine.
Did anyone else have this or manage to solve it? I am in Brazil, so it it a LA version of the phone...
Cheers,
Andrew
I just got my Z2 and my led light very weak with any torch app. For flash photo much stronger but to compare any other phoe is still half the strenght. I compared to moto g, s3, s4, Nexus4-5.
Is this my phone fault or this is the led that Sony had put in this top phone?
Unfortunately I think it's normal. I have the same thing.
Yup I confirm it's dim. It might be coz of the small led size.
how they can miss a such a feature. I use my phone as a torch all the time. this Z2 led is a joke! Seriously my 5 years old dell streak had better led.
but the photo flash definitely stronger then any torch app so the hardware capable , maybe somebody can write an app to adjust the strength
Does Moto Z come with notification light at all?
I've heard 2 different answers, can anyone who owns one confirm this pls.
i've noticed moo g4 plus there is no mention of led light but when charging there's a hidden light, see link below. Perhaps the same coud be true for moto z.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/05/moto-g4-plus-has-hidden-led-light/
Z owners try the following
Turn phone off and insert charger.
G4 plus has a hidden notification light, next to the fingerprint reader is only visible trying the above method.
no lights, when phone is on you need to wave your hand over the sensor next to the FP reader and the screen will light up with your notification
It's only the fourth year it's been this way.
How many threads do you need to post the same question? Is it really necessary to post in the Z force section too!?!? One is enough imo. Senior member too..

I have had a dim red light illuminate on the right side of the finger print scanner closer to the right edge then the scanner but no directly on the edge. I have the white Z, so the areas are much more evident. I was baffled as to why it was illuminated or exactly what it was and shortly after seeing it it was gone. I thought for a moment it was some sort of IR thing, but no idea. Very dim but clearly visible as a red light in a dark room. I've tried to see what I could do to make it reappear but no clue what brought it on.

I have a 2014 Moto X and my IR sensors do this. I'm positive that's what you're seeing.
Possible notification light on MOTO Z Play
I tried to flash TWRP recovery of other devices into my MOTO Z Play hoping to find a way to root. However all the recoveries of previous MOTO devices are not compatible, and after flashing a small white light located right to the speaker bar blinked. Don't know wether this light was evoked by TWRP recovery or error in fastboot, and why it didn't appear when phone was on.

I've seen the same white light after updating last night. It seems to be similar to the green light on the Moto x 2014 I have. So maybe after cracking the bootloader unlock code and rooting there will be some function. But it probably won't work as you are hoping. But as has been mentioned it's been this way for years on these devices.
Waiting for more answers...
I don't know why Motorola didn't just activate by default, perplexing decision to include some sort of notification light but not activate it.

I don't like LED Notifications, but as Moto Display doesn't keep the screen on when notifications are received at least the LED should be working...

That's one of the main reasons it should have notification light.

If the led is really present as it seems to be, probably this app will be updated soon to add Moto Z compatibility... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.akexorcist.motoxled&hl=en

My phone went down to 0% and when I plugged it in a white light started to flash. Still flashing now.

No it's to the left of that. It's behind something
I have the moto Z and can confirm the white light, I have seen it when flashing a firmware and rebooting I think.
But is like mentioned, back of something.
I have the Moto Z Force. It is right near the speaker grill on the right side. Just got a security update for nougat and it rebooted and for a second there was a tiny white light there. Kinda like the droid turbo I had, but that didn't turn on till I dropped it in water lol.
sometimes the indisplay Fingerprint sensor stops working at all.
The display wont recognize any touch and stays black.
If i push the Power button it starts working again.
This happens sporadically, 1 -3x a day
Did anyone had the same Problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading....
No one?

I haven't seen this problem. I use face unlock along with it and it usually recognizes my face before I can even scan it.
When the screen is black, you can put your finger on the display and some glowing circle Appears. This does not appear to me at all. The screen just stays Black.
Thx for the information.

Maybe your fingerprints got erased somehow? Does your phone display a fingerpring icon on the screen a second after you turn the screen off?
Sent from my LYA-L29 using XDA Labs
Yes the second I turn if off it shows a fingerprint sensor. Just after a while it won't toggle the sensor if I touch the display. It's like the fingerprint sensor is deactivated. The second I turn the display on manually it appears again.
Hello! I've got the p20 pro and now I'm testing mate 20 pro. Sometimes I'm not able to unlock the mate with my fingerprints at all. Same finger. The p20 works perfect, just touch and unlock. Mate sometimes I have to touch it 3-4 times before it unlocks , sometimes it doesn't unlock at all? Is that normal? The display was exchanged already because of this issue.
I believe you guys are not the only one. This on screen finger print is not reliable. I guess because they are new and will improve over time. Personally I just use face recognition than finger print. They are a lot more faster and accurate to unlock.
I know it's an old thread but it's happening to my M20Pro right now! It's awful! The screen is protected by a tempered glass made by Spigen (maybe this glass has issues?). I reconfigured the fingerprint and I touched almost 50 times until the phone captured the fingerprint! What's wrong with that sensor?!
I had problems with glass protector, if you can get plastic film it is fine, glass you will have problems....this was my finding
Possible brightness/proximity sensor issue

If you still have this phone and problem: I have a P30 Pro, and/but the reason I write here is because our phones share the fingerprint technology, and I didn't find anyone mentioning this problem regarding P30 Pro. So:
I have the same problem - seemingly sporadically the fingerprint sensor (or screen) wont react until I press the power button. Then I noticed that when the brightness/proximity sensor (located near the top right on the P30 Pro, and next (right) to the upper speaker on Mate 20 Pro) was covered, the screen would get unresponsive. I guess this is by design, to not accidently let your phone come to life in your pocket. The problem was/is that the proximity (?) sensor is way too sensitive - any obstruction at about 2 cm (0.8") above the sensor(s) will trigger this behaviour. I also think it can be triggered under other circumstances; I had som weird fingerprint/screen behaviour in a store with a high and very dark ceiling, but I have to test this again, so don't take my word for it.
Anyway - if anyone is having sporadic problems - see if this could be a reason.
Edit: Well, sometimes my screen is just totally unresponsive even without sensors blocked, so ... I noticed it a couple of times after digging my phone out of my pocket, suggesting it could still have something to do with the sensors turning the screen (functions) off. I'll try to see if I can make it behave the same way in other scenarios.
I have also been experiencing similar problems on my mate 20 pro, But mine is more of an accuracy problem. sometimes its on point and registers instantly. and other times it just doesnt at all.
However i have noticed that in extremely bright weather i have more issues, fingerprint doesnt read at all, and face ID is also doesn't. My finger print issues have started only after EMUI 10.1, so i suspect that it could possibly be a software related issue
Hello friends
I wanted to ask something about proximity sensor in Mate 20 Pro. Are your sensors always on like my device.
There is a proximity sensor on front side of mate 20 pro. You cant see that sensors working with naked eye but you can see with another camera. When screen off and device is locked I cant see a difference on state of this sensor its not engaged. When I press power button and screen turned on I see red dot on top of screen (on notch) and it is always engaged while I using phone.
This is the question.
Isnt it consumpting battery and is it normal?
Everything is controlled from proximity sensor is turned of in settings.
What do you think about this is it a bug or is it a normal thing

This is happening to my Mate 20 Pro too. But I am not surprised neither worried as this was hapenning to my Galaxy S7 and my LG Optimus 4x.
It's perfectly Normal, minimal battery usage and prevents unnecessary screen activations in your pocket or while on a call, which results in ear touches.

Hi i finally found the solution and made a video of it on youtube. You gotta de-bloat the battery and performance from the manage app. check the video I've gone indepth regarding it.
