Is there any way to disable the "Breathing" Navigation ring when its charging or the solid light when its done? I keep this phone by my bed at night and really don't enjoy the flashing lights in my room.
Thanks,
Landon.
set it face down while charging.
Not to be rude but thats like taking the switch off the fidge door's light and just closing it. The lights still on you just don't see it. I'm concerned with the lights life if its on 1/3 of the day. Also when I recieve email through the night the phone vibrates and grinds the screen into the wooden night stand. I dunno, seems to me that the charging icon up top would be good enough and the breathing lights unnecessary.
Thanks,
Landon.
the lights life? its an led. leds never burn out. as for the notification, seeing as its part of the hardware and not a setting in windows mobile, youre stuck with it forever. set it on a cloth or something, or set something over it.
Can I set mine to strobe? Its really slow and annoying. I only like fast things.
...and not to be rude but I don't want to wave my fingers in front of it for effect.
ROFLMAO!!!!!
I used to have an extra piece of nice microfiber cloth which I folded and put the phone face down on next to my computer. Something that keeps the phone from scratches and simply to block out the light.

Wow Really? Is your Raphael a special edition made of eggshells? I mean HTC would never have thought someone would have their phone face down on a wooden table when It vibrated. Also, what the heck kind of rough sandpaper nightstand do you have?
If the short 1 second of vibrating scratches up your screen, maybe you should get a Screen Protector (good to have anyway) or perhaps a nice phone case.

Hi
This maybe a daft question but is the clear plastic square on the TP inside ear peace an actual LED??
Previously on WM phones this was used as notifcations and bluetooth, I know the TP has the circle that lights up but I have noticed this LED doesnt light up at all like when I have bluetooth on. Is there a way of turning this on?
Cheers
Thats the light sensor.
That is the light sensor. No LED there...
have to say that this is annoying. I would have preferred an LED, don't know why they ommitted it.
when my phone is in stand-by, there is no way of determining if it's on (and in stand-by) or if the battery has died and it's actually off!!
lol thanks guys, now i feel dumb lol
Although I do agree with twisted on this one, seems odd to remove the LED. Is there anyway of knowing if the bluetooth is on now without powering on the screen? I miss the blueness lol
Well... most ppl don't need to know whether their phone "died" (ran out of power). Including me. At first I was wondering myself about the absence of any LED. But I liked it the first day I went to bed... no room blinking anymore! And even if I had received a message I don't need to stare at the phone waiting for blinking, instead I can recognize that almost immediately.
You still have the LED indicator...its just moved underneath the D-pad and its white now, but it`ll still blink if you got a msg or missed call. im sure someone can cook a rom which can keep it indicating all the time, not only for calls and msgs.
Personally, I like the lack of lights. As Chatty mentioned, the bedroom isn't turned into a cheap nightclub now. Plus I've never been the biggest fan of the 'Mug me now' flashing blutooth lights
omg, i couldnt stand the sidekick's annoying flashing trackball every 5 seconds... thank God this one isnt like it!
I hated the constant flashing of the Tytn II bluetooth LED at night so much that I got a cover for it. So, when I put it in the cradle at night then on went the cover !
What would be nice in Touch Pro "II" would be multiple colours in the ring?
A couple of times I was shocked to notice that the keyboard leds on my TP weren't shut down with the keyboard slid in. Since there is a slight gap between the keyboard and the screen, in a dark environment, looking at the TP's right edge, white light was clearly visible just 1-1.5 cm's above the stylus (display and the hardware buttons were OFF, so no, no light "bleeding" effect).
After promptly sliding the keyboard out and back in, the lights went out; actually they went out right when I started to move the keyboard, possibly indicating that there might be a loose contact somewhere. Once, I actually waited for the light to go out by itself; it certainly stayed on after the regular "timeout" value...
So, I wonder: if the contact that is supposed to cut the power to the keyboard when you slide it back in sometimes doesn't work, but the device thinks it's locked and doesn't "timeout" the leds anymore, can this be the cause of mysterious battery drains reported so many times on this forum? Sure enough it's quite hard to spot, especially if you're using a case for the phone. It would most certainly explain why battery drain varied on my device rather wildly even though the usage pattern hardly changed from day to day.
I tried reproducing the effect but it's quite hard (I'd say for my device it would kill the lights correctly at least 9 out of 10 times) and I didn't want to stress the sliding mechanism too much...
Anyone notice this?
Just so noone thinks I'm seeing ghosts, today, just after unplugging it from my laptop, eventhough the keyboard hadn't even been opened, I saw the leds were on again. Just to be sure this wasn't a "feature" I waited about 5 minutes and they were still ON. So yes, this is most definitely a bug and a quite serious one at that.
I took a photo with a friends phone camera (sorry for the low quality). The bright, white, dots seen in the pic are the leds from the underlying keyboard (the phone had always been shut, keyboard fully slid in: display and hardware keys were completely off and no, there was no light from the D-pad either).
I can now easily understand how, occasionaly, the battery managed to run out so quickly... Has noone noticed this before? Am I the only one with a potentially defective unit/keyboard contact?
Maybe I'm just a little too picky or ocd but I noticed my charge status LED goes from a brightly lit red just before reaching 100%, to an extremely dim (barely visible) green when the battery has been fully charged. When I hit the home or power button to turn the screen on then back off, the green LED is visible and bright. Anyone else notice this?
[UPDATE] Never mind, I'm an idiot... I should've known this, the light sensor dictates the LED brightness level.
I don't know if samsung was just rushing to get these replacement devices out and had to speed through the assembly process but my device looks just that way. The overlay is noticeably off center to the left across the top where the sensor, camera and iris scanner are located. To the left of the home button there is a thin vertical line indentation as if there is a small dent on the shell of the device under the overlay.
Once again, could be I'm just overly critical, but for a device pushing the $900 retail mark I expect more. Venting complete...Still love my Note 7:good:
When I try to pull down the notification bar on the right the screen goes black. Also turns off the always on display. I'm assuming it's something with the Proximity sensor. Tired of all the little bugs and problems with this phone. I’m returning it. Just curious if anybody else is having this problem.

No, mine isn't doing that. You might have a dud.

I've had that happen on my Pixel 2 XL. Only once or twice and restart fixed it every time.
It's definitely the prox sensor. Always On Display shuts off when the phone is in your pocket or face down, which is detected by the proximity sensor, so that's totally normal. As far as it happening on the home screen, it seems like the phone thinks you're in a call, which would use the proximity sensor to turn the screen off near your head. I would reboot as @jimv1983 suggested and see if that works.
Are you using a screen protector? Sometimes those can cause issues with the proximity sensor, but usually it just causes the screen to shut off and not come back on during a call as it senses the protector at all times instead of your face.

I had a case with a built-in screen protector on it and I thought that might be what was causing it but after taking it off it still did it. Weird thing though once I put it on the wireless charger it stop doing it. Hasn’t done it all day even with case on. Weird. Still thinking about taking it back to Best Buy and swapping it out.
I've had a similar issue where the proximity sensor will not deactivate as long as a call is going (can't hangup, can't unlock, can't speaker phone, can't mute, etc.). I have to wait for the other person to hang up. Get an automated robo-call you accidentally answered....oh well, guess you have to listen to them. I have never been so angry at a phone as I am with this one. Especially as expensive as it is. I absolutely would NOT have bought this phone if I knew ahead of time how aggravating this would be! Thinking of sending it back. BUYERS BEWARE!

Had this very issue with my pixel XL and blowing on the top speaker grille of dust with compressed air solved it.
But if this is out of the box that sucks. It should not be like that. My pixel was approaching two years when that happened.
so to tell in brief what i did today i took it in the rain running
i cleaned it with sanitiser
here is a picture can anyone tell me if this can break my display in long term is it repairable ffor cheap
and kill my phone its in the right hand corner
What phone and type of display?
Looks like you got water inside.
Power it down immediately.
Pull rear cover and pull the battery, ASAP!!!
Place in a warm, dry room with a fan on it for a few days.
Connect battery, boot and inspect display.
Reassemble if ok, use new OEM seal for rear cover.
No time to dilly-dally Mr. Wick... tic-tok
The screen brightness and color are adjusted automatically to react to ambient light conditions. Usually the change is so gradual it's barely noticeable, but can be fast if the light hitting the screen changes rapidly and substantially. You can choose to disable this behavior, but you should give it a chance first
