How exactly do Lighting-Condition-Checks for Auto-Brightness work on bezelless phones?
I assume activating the Camera must use a substantial amount of battery.
On the Poco F3 there is a sensor on the right side of the ear speaker above the camera.
when you look closely you can see that only the left side ist the speaker for calls.
you also can test the sensor with a sensor testing app, there are a lot of them on the Play Store and on F-Droid.

The caller will not hear me, but when turn on the speakerphone, the caller hears me well. In the service menu microphone tests everything works.
When I record my voice recorder.app everything works well. NOT working only during a call, in Skype not working too. Maybe you know how to fix this problem. Maybe this is software bug ? or broke the microphone ?
p.s. Root installed
Still problem
Hello,
This may be because of Camera issue, there are two microphones in the phone, one is the upper one next to the Earphone Jack and one at the bottom next to Speaker. When we are making a movie from the camera in Landscape mode, phone is switching to the upper microphone, (this is a noise reduction microphone) and when we make a move in Portrait mode, this is switching back to the bottom mic, somehow, when are closing the camera from a Landscape mode, phone is not switching back the mic to the bottom one, and still set for the upper mic, causing a very low sound going out for the phone call, as we are speaking at the bottom and the mic is at the upper portion. When you are turning the speaker, the bottom microphone is turning on, hence the voice is clear at the other end. Try doing a little trick, switch on your camera, record a movie in PORTRAIT MODE for 2 to 3 second and close it. Now try again doing a call, to my understanding this will work, as this works for me. Please update if this works for you as well. Best Regards

THis landscape-portrait camera trick doesn't work on my phone.
My upper microphone works (noise reduction mic works in loudspeaker voice microphone mode). But bottom mic doesn't work. I replaced this mic, then i replaced bottom board and its flex. Nothing helps.
1.8V comes to the mic.
Hi at all,
i recently bought a new Moto Z2 Play. All work good, except for a noise that i discovered yesterday during a call. If i shake the phone i can clearly hear a ticking noise that seems comes from the camera or, however, in this area. I supposed that are the camera optical lens, but could be something else, like an unscrewed screw for example. The fact that it comes from the camera area makes me think of camera lenses.
Could you tell me if you also notice this noise? I have already replaced the phone once for problems with the usb port, I would not have to replace it again. In any case all work good, the camera is able to focus when i tap and the photo are good, the speaker sound is good, so I can't understand what it could be.
Thank you.
Same noise here. Everything is working properly anyway.
Same noise here, Verizon variant.
it is from camera module.
open camera and focus it to close object, and lock focus. wohha the clicking noise while you shake your z2 is gone. nothing to worry about. that noise is on every moto z2 play.
My phone has the same ticking sound when I shake it, yet everything works fine.
that ticking sound is the actuator working. dont worry, there is nothing wrong with your phone.
Maybe someone has had a similar problem.
Sometimes when particular app opens camera and the camera sensor is active the sensor will buzz. It is happening only in 1 app.
Second is that when i shake the phone I hear a rumble near the camera. When the camera is turned on, it is less rumble when shaking the phone.
Otherwise I think the camera is working ok. Zoom is ok, when i cover with my hand the sensor there is no buzz.
Someone had a similar situation?
My Mi5s just started to do exactly the same when I start the camera app. Any solution to this noise?
The exact same thing happened to me, until the camera stopped focusing and I had to change it
I recently find out that my S9 keep emitting IR from the proximity sensor, is that normal or it's something not right happening on my phone.
P/s: I did some Google and found out that S9 has 2 proximity sensors, but why it has to be two of them but not one like other phones?
Also the IR led on the video below can only be seen via a surveillance camera, not via other phone's camera.
Please see my video

I have CCTV on my house and at night when people walk past using their phone you can see the same thing, probably for the "Block accidental touches in a dark place", as the screen off when making a call 'should' only activate the IR when you are on a call
Also if you are playing a voice message on WhatsApp and put your hand too close the to proximity sensor it stops the playback
Phone camera as an IR block filter to filter out IR, although you can still see TV Remotes IR with it
Thank you for your comment, but event when I turn that function off, the IR still blinking.
I know I may just being over-thinking but it's bugging me still.
Even though I could not see it blinks but I still know it's blinking always without any explanation.
Easy screen turn on
I finally know the reason why.
It's the "Easy screen turn on" feature that keep the proximity sensor emitting IR.
Once turn it off, the sensor no longer emits IR.
I was using my phone to browse a web page then put it down, I suddenly heard some strange mechanical whirring noise, I thought I had left the screen on and the sound was coming from a web page but the screen was off, I unlocked it and toggled media volume, no difference, I could hear the audible sound that you would hear when toggling sound. I put my hand over the rear camera cluster and could feel a slight vibration so opened up the camera app and the sound immediately stopped.
Now whenever I open the camera, there is a huge light glare problem that would look great in Star Trek movies, but not for me! It just seemed to cause this problem all by itself, there is no dirt or oil on the rear cluster and there's no crack etc. this all just suddenly happened when that noise came about when I put it down on my sofa...
A visit to the nearest service centre. Sounds like a mechanical problem.

Normally the sensor moves freely until camera app is opened or used because of the mechanical stabilization. Here would be great to see more examples but if you experience these glares all the time, you should book a service appointment.
