What are the front sensors?
I know the furthest left is the camera.
One of them is probably the ambient light sensor. What is the other one?
Not a big deal, Just was curious.
Proximity sensor

i want to buy a silicon case to protect the desire, but will it not disable the proximity sensors?
any1 using a silicon case like below?

thnx
That does look like it covers both the proximity sensors and light sensors. Actually, I'd be glad of something covering my light sensor, since it doesn't work properly on the stock ROM anyway ! At least the keyboard backlight would stay on.
The proximity sensor being covered would just mean the display stays on when you have the phone to your ear, I guess ? And in theory it would ring more loudly since it would think your phone was in your pocket ?
Huh...
Today I was looking at my 3 weeks old phone and I noticed something like bubble between touch digitizer and LCD...
Has someone else this crap on their phones?
Proximity sensor.
Isn`t proximity sensor ABOVE red circle?
Huh all phones have this:
Swishh....
Yep prox sensor. The HTC screen protectors even have cutouts for that.
Thanks both of you for answers.
This is my 4th HTC phone and I feel kind of stupid right now
prox sensor it's normal

Why would you feel stupid?
That was a perfectly legitimate question.
TBH,I never noticed it until you pointed it out.
Phew...
First time HTC Owner...
I also noticed that when I was cleaning the LCD... I thought it was a defect on my unit...Ignored it because everything was fine and it's actually unnoticeable unless you stick your nose to the LCD when you use the phone
Now I am relieved to know that it is light/proximity sensor...
Thanks!
Has anyone experienced this problem with the n5 camera? I have 2 marks on my pictures and on the screen whilst I'm taking pictures, I think there's something wrong with the camera sensor, only had the phone a couple of month. I've zoomed in on one picture. Should I try to get it replaced?
The shape if the first image looks too organic to be dead pixels to me. Looks more like fluff. I assume you've cleaned the "lens"

looks like dust or dirt. the camera cant have a dead pixel, theres no pixels. the camera uses a lens. your screen has pixels, screens can have dead pixels.

Film based cameras have a lens. Digital cameras have both a lens and a sensor. The sensor and the screen both have pixels.
However, this looks more like object obstruction than failing pixels on the sensor

The front facing camera on my One X is horrible. The selfies are washed out and extremely low res, nowhere near the quality from my Droid Razr that has the same megapixel count. What could cause this? Does the proximity sensor have anything to do with the camera? I have a screen protector and it has a cutout for this sensor but I don't know if the cutout is big enough since I can't see the sensor. I have not taken a picture w/o the screen protector installed. Anything else I should be looking at?
The proximity sensor has nothing to do with the front facing camera. In all honesty, it doesn't take great pictures. You might have some dust built up in there, try cleaning it out with a cotton bud.

Thanks. I did that after doing a search on the issue (which I should have done before my post-my bad) and the difference is night and day. I never would have guessed a lens could get so dirty that it would literally make a camera unusable but now I know it can.
Quick question, I see there are 2 sensors on the bezel near the camera (well, a bit above/to the right of the camera). I assume one is an ambient light sensor, and I'm not sure about the other one. Proximity sensor? Is that needed on a tablet? The screen covers use magnets to wake the device right? Anybody know for sure?

The tablet has a polarity sensor So yes you need Magnets to use the Wake function fyy has a nice cover for 5 bucks if you dont want to spend 40 on a piece of cloth that Covers the front .Where do you see these sensors exactly I've been trying to locate them with no luck ?

You need to get a lot of light on it (I had an open window next to it). Then with the tab in landscape with the front cam on the left hand side, they are under the glass a bit to the right and above the front cam.

I saw these just the other day and I'm wondering what they are, too. Trying to find something about them on Google but no luck so far.

Any idea why they would use a proximity sensor? Not like we are holding it to our faces. And the cover uses magnets to wake the device. Hmm.
I have read that it has no proximity sensor somewhere.. Still waiting for my case.. So I have been trying tap tap app but failed.. No proximity sensor detected..

There was rumours of a variant which had voice calling function. I used this to test the proximity sensor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder
