on the left-side face of my DI. Is that what they are? They are just a little bit bigger than the charging indicator light on the right side. Anyone else notice these?
those are the light sensor and proximity sensor
Thanks.
Any time

there is a red light by my light sensor that lit up for the first time anyone have any idea what it is?
The exact same problem my gf's completely stock E4GT has. The light is very dim.
I think that's the light sensor. If you call and put the phone up to your ear the little light will come on and shut off the screen.

Why is the light sensor glowing while I am not in a phone call?

Do you have autobrightness enabled?

okay.. i looked through the manual when I got the phone and. it says theirs an led to the left of the speakers.. and I'm like no? lol its obviously to the right.. well I called someone on accident tonight and was looking at my phone and a little light lit up to the left of the speaker..anyone know what it's for? lol i is it only calls or what..
seems pretty useless =/ ide rather have a multi colored LED like the evo or evryother phone instead of two red leds lol

I believe those are the camera & light sensors.

Yeah dude those are totally you FFC (front facing camera) and the proximity sensor
Woah wtf CONFIRMED. Seriously just checked and although its very dim, there IS a light on the left corner of the speaker. Its a dark red. I called bull until I tested it. Here's how to see it:
Make a call in the darkest area possible ( the light is very dim) and look directly over the S in SAMSUNG. Interesting!
Edit: ok not an led you're right its the proximity sensor glowing red. If you cover it with your finger, the screen shuts off during a call

the sensors right next to it if look at it in a very well lite environment like outside on a sunny day. the light that glows red is to the right of the sensor

The one that you can see is actually the proximity. The other is the ambient light sensor for the auto brightness. Get over it.

Actually that's not totally correct. The hole directly to the right of the front-facing camera is a photodiode. When a call is in progress it acts as the proximity sensor, and all other times it is the ambient light sensor. To the right of that is an infrared LED - these cast a dim red glow that you can barely see in dim conditions, but if you were to look at it through the lens of a camcorder or digital camera (which are sensitive to infrared light), you will see that it lights up brightly - indicating a large amount of infrared. Skin is very reflective when it comes to infrared. When the infrared light coming out of the LED bounces off your skin and back to the photodiode, the system knows that the phone is against your head and turns the screen off.
Yeah somewhere in the back of my head i knew they likely worked in tandem. Obviously the proximity sensor needs a reciever to pickup the reflected wavelengths. Good info.
Hi everybody
My sprint note 4 heart rate sensor doesn't work no light when I put my finger on. Someone could help me. No root, stock ok1. Thanks you
In my redmi note 5 pro, when I turn on the front camera led flash ,it emits blue light. Is there any way to change it to white or it is manufacturing defect? Please help
