Hi Guys
Does anyone know what the indicator light that is inside the recessed area for the front speaker for? I have never seen it light up, and have no idea what it's supposed to be used for.
Thanks!
the ambient light sensor
It's a light sensor.. this question allready covered here.
The display's backlight auto-adjusts (can be disabled tough) with the help of this light sensor
HAHA. I can't tell you how many times I looked at my phone trying to think of where the light sensor is. I heard that light described as an actually light, that blinks for certain occasions.
try searching next time
but...you are talking about the light sensor. the notification light is around the dpad

The front LED on my new Raphael doesn't seem to be working. It never lights up or blinks, not even when charging. Is this likely to be a hardware problem?

Have you read the manual?? Are you refering to the LED beside the earpiece??? IF so, it is NOT a LED but a light sensor. However, if you are referring to the LED's on the circular botton on the bottom of the unit, then i appologise, these should light up when charging.
So when I'm on a call there's a red rapidly blinking LED light though its very dim. Anyone else notice this? Any mods?
It's the proximity sensor. When the phone is close to your face or turned upside down the screen turns off.
I had this happen last night, but I wasn't on a call at all. I just happened to see it (the room was dark so the dim LED was visible). It persisted for a while but by morning was gone. Battery wasn't low at that point (though it had been earlier in the day) so I was hoping there'd be more insight about it today. =)
Did anyone else notice that their LED will faintly flash red after flashing 3.0.2.5? It has to be real dark, but I can see it flickering. Anyone else?
Not happening with mine in a pitch black room. Might wanna make sure you removed the previous version completely. It's in the options somewhere.

Do you mean the light shows in general?... or only when you are in CWM?
If the former, I am still on 3.0.2.4 and have seen this faint red light myself when on a phone call on occasion. So it would not be a new bug with 3.0.2.5
This is the first time I have noticed it. I tried re-flashing CWR and there is still a faint red light.
Not positive, but I think that's the proximity sensor's light you are seeing. Try to watch it through another phone's camera if you have one handy, the sensor should detect the infra-red (near infra-red?) and it should look brighter.
Just tried it myself and it is indeed the infrared from the proximity sensor that you are seeing. As to why CWR would be using the proximity sensor, that is a whole other issue =)
I also noticed this on my phone then walked over and grabbed my wifes bolt that is stock and not rooted and hers does the same thing. Very faint red flashing light. Hers is stock so it must just be the phone
The infrared sensor will pulse intermittently to see if the phone is near an object or not. To tell if the phone is by your face, upside down, in your pocket, etc.. Don't worry pulses of this sensor don't take much juice at all. I'm just surprised you saw the light at all lol most people wouldn't be able to.
Maybe it's my new glasses
I'm glad it's just not me and/or my rooted phone.
I only get that light to show up when I got Skype running in the background.
faint led flicker in earpiece
mine is doing this too, but I don't have "clockwork"-i don't think. I've noticed that it's not the "main" led, but it is right beside it!
anyone have any ideas about what this could be!?
it is, indeed, skype, and i believe it IS the proximity sensor. why?... i have NO idea, but i feel better now that i know the correlation and that I'm not alone!
I found out the proximity sensor AND Skype was the cause of my battery issues.
Obviously nothing to do with CWM.

Has anybody else noticed the camera light comes on very slightly whilst charging? Also red light in the proximity sensor is always on whilst the screen is on. Is this normal or just my phone?
Red light in the proximity sensor is also apparently my Japanese XZ variant.
But my camera flash doesn't turn on when charging phone.
Yes, mine does! When i first turn it on it always flashes once, but also sometimes builds up to quite a bright flickering light. It tends to happen more when charging from a low charge and usually stops if i unplug and plug back in a couple of times.
Your comment is the only reference i've found to it!

my phone doesnt flash while charging if urs does that then its something wrong...and red light proximity sensor is working like it should so no worries mate.if u want to turn that sensor off just go to display setings and find adaptive brightnes and turn off...now u wont have that red dot light but also adaptive brightnes wont work aswell hehe...hope it cleares ur mind
When I have auto brightness on, sometimes the brightness suddenly goes up very high then drops back to normal.
Sometimes it's the opposite it gets very low then back to normal.
And sometimes it doesn't go back to that sweet spot it was at.
It stays a bit more bright or less bright than it were.
It's really annoying.
This is of course under the same light condition.
In a couple of circumstances:
The device was still on the table.
Holding the device with one hand from the bottom under a blanket.
Gaming in landscape mode with both hands.
Does anyone have this issue, a software issue maybe?
or is it possibly a hardware issue with my unit?
I don't even know where the ambient light sensor is on the poco f2 pro.
Happens to me too. But it's still better than my old RN5 - there the auto mode is useless, always too dark.
Hello
I have same problem
Ambiant sensor is on the flash led, you can see two leds for camera and the third is the brightness
This device is very bad for this feature, same for the proximity sensor, under the screen and poor efficiency, screen Lights up again during call

Yup same with proximity here
But as for the ambient light sensor it turns out there is not one but 3 (2 on the front side and one on the back)
Xiaomi is calling it 360° ambient light sensor.
It's supposed to be one of a kind.
Only the poco f2 pro has this.
But apparently it is poorly implemented.
The hardware is pretty capable but software needs a lot of work.
Hopefully this gets fixed in future updates.

Yes I saw this so called feature, But I think it's bull****, there is only a sensor on the back, hence the fact that the screen turns off when you put the device on a table..
Under the screen, with the sun you can see the hole of the fingerprint sensor, the hole at the top of the proximity sensor, and the touch screen, nothing else
I think it's a bogus feature, a bit like some devices where you realize that one of the photo sensors is just a dummy
