Ok so I bought a sprint tp2 with a messed up screen (looked like an oil blot in the center). So i replaced the screen/digitalizer from one off of ebay.
Everything works fine and i would recommend doing this for anyone who has a broken screen instead of fixing the digitalizer themselves(less headache involved).
The problem is that I've noticed that led on the left works fine. ember when charging, green when charged, and flashes green when there's a notification. But the led on the right does absolutely nothing. It just doesn't light up.
At first I thought it was the proximity sensor but that seems to be closer to the led on the left.
I wanted to know if the led on the right is suppose to do something? Like on my old kaiser if wifi was on it would indicate that along with gps and bluetooth.
The LED on the right IS the proximity sensor.... Won't EVER light up, and if it did then something screwies gong on...
OK I was just wondering. Thanks man.
the proximity sensor is to the left of the right led

this is correct...
OK now I'm a little confused...sorry. So if you were to be looking at the phone the led on the right is the proximity sensor?
I thought that the proximity sensor is located to the left of the left led indicator and assumed that the right led is actually the ambient light sensor. Correct?
I just wanna make sure everything is working right.
thats what i mean,its nowhere near the right led..

Added some basic testing how-to. Let me know "ok" or "not ok". I will have to return my phone today if this is not a generic issue
250 views - no responses from the nexus owners?
anyhow, just realised LIGHT sensor works in daylight (at least from 10 to 160 lux). However, still no cookie on the proximity sensor - can anyone confirm or deny please?
My prox sensor works just fine. Not really had chance to check the light sensor as Ive only just bought the phone and had it set to full brightness. Ill post back shortly..
mine seems to be functioning fine here.

Right then i can confirm the light sensor works in mine too in daylight
Proximity sensor not though... anyone else?! this is really strange
Both work on mine.

Mine is OK as well.
Mine seems fine for both
Both work perfectly on mine! For the proximity sensor, try it during a call! It might be trivial but just saying.

AndroSensor says both work but auto brightness (auto dullness?) is useless and I triggered a keypad press while on a call...

see - thats exactly the point. The sensor does NOT work (on mine)
Proximity Sensor - will switch display off to avoid the keypress or other issues while on call when you are holding it to your face(ear). And re-enable display when moved away from the face
Autobrigh: measures ambient light and then adjusts brightness accordingly
you may have both confused?
check with AndroSensor:
proximity sensor - cover it with your hand (next to the front camera) and the values should change in AndroSensor - but they dont. neither does the display switch off during calls when detecting your face (actually just detecting "no light")
I will return my GN. I had enough.
The light sensor works according to AndroSensor but auto brightness simply dims the screen to a useless level. Likewise proximity sensor works (values are either 0 or 2 inches) but whilst the screen does indeed dim during calls key presses are still possible infuriatingly. Software fix would cure both.

Light sensor works fine.
Proximity sensor does not work. I think it stopped working after the volume fix OTA.
For my device, the proximity value changes fine however the screen doesn't turn on off when answering and ending a call. hv to lock the screen and unlock the screen manually to prevent mistouch..
Just tested and the screen turns off just fine for me on a call.

I know this topic is kind of old, but I'm still having the proximity issue, do you think I should return my nexus?
Mine doesn't work either, since 4.02 I think. Are there any settings that should be enabled for it to work like gprs or location services or is the proximity service always running?

Howdy Campers!
Quick question about the proximity sensor and in call screen off. When i have this feature checked "Turn off screenduring calls" should the proximity sensor be active and turn the screen on and off if i have it up to my head??This is what the feature reports to do.
When checked the screen goes off and will not come back on (none of the buttons seem to wake the screen, only end of call will).
Any ideas??
thanks!

Do you have a screen protector on or maybe accidentally covering the proximity sensor? The phone is supposed to wake when the proximity sensor isn't covered, not when the call is ended.

No screen protector or case
actually it looks like the proximity sensor isnt working well for anything....
besides the calls the air gestures (scrolling) stopped working.
I dont think smart stay works either....
i factory reset the phone still nothing
on the lock screen i do see the little white dot follow my hand around so not sure what to think.
any suggestions before i take this back to the store for a replacement?
Hi as the question says
Did anybody notice a small blinking circle (will be around 1mm size), around 1 cm to the right of the camera when you place a call on the note 10 +
or is it only me?
During calls I noticed it.

It appears to be the prox sensor (for turning the phone screen off when its up to your ear). That's what I've been seeing in comments of other people seeing the flashing during calls.
I believe it is the proximity sensor

okay thanks... was worried it might be dead pixels
Hopefully a sensor and not a pixel issue. Happening to me
Yes, proximity sensor. S10+ 5G has it also.

That would be the proximity sensor
It is the proximity sensor.
And by the way it doesn't work well at all on my S10 plus. When I am on the phone the screen would turn on and then my ear would start tapping on the screen turning things on and off.
Pretty annoying, so I had to learn to manually turn the screen off with the power button every time before I answer or make a call...
I sincerely hope they have somehow found a way to improve it with the Note
just now saw it whilst playing a whatsapp voice message. when i put my finger over it, the phones speaker will shut off which seems to confirms its proximity sensors.
i did notice after some seconds, maybe a minute, the blinking light stops on whatsapp if you are listening to a speaker call on whatsapp... i have the whatsapp on full screen mode so the green part of the phones GUI is up there...
I noticed this today also when I placed a call. I dont make calls much so I just noticed it after 2 days. Just had some free time now and quickly rushed to locate this thread I had seen yesterday I believe.
What a relief it's the proxi sensor.

Working quite well for me so far.
It shows that Samsung has the ability to create camera under screen, but they didn't most likely due to photo quality
Good to know it's the proximity sensor.
Mine appears to flash rapidly more than blink though lol.
I thought I had a defective note. Thanks for the info.

It's the same thing just like S 10
those of us coming from the Note 9 that didn't have this, it's a new thing to discover...
When I first noticed it I thought dead pixel lol but it only visible during calls iv noticed
Yes, it is the proximity sensor, it is sad that this sensor implementation does not allow third party apps to use it, I used gravity screen in my past devices to turn screen off when in pocket or turn it on waving over the sensor, but now the app became useless, I use macrodroid, but it is not as good as gravity screen
does anyone else have a problem with the proximity sensor not turning the screen off during the call over telegram, threema etc.?

Literally read the post before yours.
HI there, anybody knows if the phone have led notification or aod? I see at technical specs that it supposed that it has led but can someone confirm? I guess aod only work on amoled.!
Hi. AOD is not possible as it is an LCD screen. But one of the best I've read. At the top together with the second speaker there is a small status led. So there is some kind of notification. Just can't say how good and visible that will be.

The tiny notification White LED is quite visible when the screen is off, you'll notice it but not very clear at the extreme angle.
