Always on display? Notification led?
No AOD it's LCD so it'll eat power
There's a notification led but it's impossible to see when the phone is on a table.

Why? Is it buried inside the top speaker screen? Can you only see it when holding up and looking straight into it?

Yeah, it's under the grill, next to the FFC.
It's hard to see unless you're looking at it straight on because it's miniscule. With it being behind the grill blocks the view beyond a very narrow field of vision.

Does any one know if the notification light is supposed to work on this phone?
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
yours has one?
LG saved on the light and forth android-sdandard button.
These 3 holes on top front is camera, proximity sensor and ... don't know what's the third one.
the third hole is a place for DIY notification light...You can solder your own LEDs there

Hi,
I've recently bought an HTC One V and I noticed that the LED light below the capacitive home button is leaking, even when viewed on a normal angle.
The other capacitive buttons does this as well but only at an extreme angle.
Any of you experiencing this?
TIA!
unit replaced

I just had my unit replaced. No more light leak below the capacitive home button.
I wanted to post images of it, but I need 8 posts to be able to do so.
Anyhow, buyers might want to check the unit first by covering the light sensor on top (to make the capacitive buttons glow).
Thanks for the views XDA people.
I want to make the capacitive lights bright in daylight also, how do I do that?
hey!
guess what? i had the same EXACT problem, except the leak under my multitask button was visible at even normal view. hopefully i'll get my device replaced by a new one tomorrow too.
what did the guys say to you btw? like what all did they ask? just keen to know!
thanks!

I just showed them the unit. They really didn't say anything nor did they argue. Although I did struggle as the store's lights were very bright, so I had to go under a desk just to be able to show it to them (a bit awkward I have to say).
We had to compare with a new unit and it didn't have the light leak below the home button; but when I got home I noticed that it had the leak somewhere else (it looks like a hot pixel, but when you look at it, it's not really part of the screen but in between the glass and the LCD, which is weird). Will go back tomorrow for another replacement.
I guess if you're getting a replacement, try it immediately at a dark place / room to check for light leaks.
i got my unit replaced today!
no more defects anymore, i checked everything before getting home..
how bout you?

The store only had three units on stock.
First and second one both have light leaks, and the third one had yellow spots on the upper left part of the screen + a silvery dot inside the screen sandwiched between the glass also on the upper left corner.
I cancelled my purchase and decided to just buy again when they have sufficient stock of units without defects, or maybe once screen protectors and cases become readily available from retailers.
sir can I know where did you buy One V? I'll buy one this May..just in case..don't end up there
is the attached screenshot below a white leak??
the white leak is very visible on a black background at the bottom of the screen, also the top of the screen has little white leak too.
should i replace this one to the store?

I can find the light leak on mine (in the USB port) in the dark if I'm looking at the phone from beneath it. I suppose some people use their phones that way a lot!
That's so the dust can get in. I think its normal. I have light leak as well in the same spots.

Hey guys,
I want to know, if you have such "flashlights" on the bottom of your screen, too.
Just on the bottom - on top of mine everything is allright.
I ask myself if this is a reason to swap the device due to garantee reasons.
Look at the picture and pls. vote.
edit: I have the flashlights permanent - even if the lights of the 3 capazitive buttons is off

That's light from the Capacitive button Backlights, you should only really see it once the screen just unlocks.
Not always, if it bothers you- Return it, that simple.
I have the lights permanent. Even if the 3 capazitive lights are off!

Well that's backlight bleed, just get it replaced.
I have it too
I spoke with an HTC Support Manager at their North American headquarters this morning and they are advising me that this is normal. They apparently designed the display to have these lights to make the viewing angles better and to make the display easier to see in direct light or sunlight.
It's a new technology, so I am told.....
I have the same issue, only noticed it recently. Not sure if it's enough to warrant getting it replaced. Do all people have this? Noticeable when there is colour (ore so on white) on the screen, not when on a black screen.
Dont have the "flashlights" on any color. not even on white.
Should get a replacement if it annoys you..
It's normal. You can see them all the way around the screen if you look hard enough. It's barely noticeable even at just the right angle. You can get it replaced but I wouldn't expect it to be much different. The people in this thread saying they don't have them probably just don't notice. It's a very subtle thing.
they vary between devices but they exist in one way or another
i don't find it hard to believe that these assist view angles

I must have gotten the only issue free One X HTC ever built.
Hi all,
Ever since i started using CM7 on my DHD the LED being used for notifications changed from the right one (next to the speaker mesh wire) to the left one (underneath the speaker mesh wire) (i didn't even know there was one before that time )
Since i'm working as a carpenter my phone (and especially this mesh wire) gets all clogged up with dust pretty much all the time which makes it very hard to see the notification LED underneath it. Is there any way to change it back to it's original LED on the right of the speaker?? I'd prefer a change in command lines in stead of using an app.
Using Cyanogenmod 7.2 now (which works perfect i must say, but can't wait on ICS!)
Any help is much appreciated
PS. Anyone know why it changed from right to left? My guess is because the LED's on a 4G are positioned differently.
Euhh... Anyone??
You are right. I didn't even remember there was a led on the right. If I don't get back to you by sunday it means I haven't found an answer. You got me curious about this as well.

it is a proximity sensor on the right side....

It's then a proximity sensor, the thing on the right side which looks like a notification led?

correct, it is NOT an led, it is a sensor. it is how it tells if your face is next to the phone or not. start a phone call to your voice mail or whatever, and cover and let off of that spot with your finger, it will activate and deactivate the screen.
Ahh yes of course! Thanks guys!! It's just when i was using the original rom with Sense i could have sworn the LED was on the right. Hihi Silly me.
Thanks again! Yet another mystery solved!
When I was wiping down the screen nicely before applying a screen protector I noticed in the bottom section, not where there is screen, theres a slight mark. As if something is behind it.
Its directly in the middle, aligned with the center of the Home softbutton, about and inch or so below the home button.
Seems like maybe a sensor, but I dont know. Anyone else notice this?

It's a white notification light. Wait until you get an email and it will flash about every 10 seconds. You can turn it off under settings/ display.

Oh damn, i feel like a fool. Yes I've seen the light, but didnt think about it at the moment.
Well at least I know I didnt physically damage it. Thank you sir.
Closure, its tastes so sweet.
