You mean the light sensor to keep your phone locked while your talking?

I might be tripping out but i think i saw a red led on the front of the phone.. is it possible to use this for notification purposes like a BB?
Also, can anyone please explain to me if/how we can get BLN to work? Im using the Infused ROM and wasnt able to figure it out
Thx
I'm not quite sure what that thing is myself, but I'm pretty sure it can't be used as a notification LED. As for BLN, you need to be running a kernel that supports it. I think the Defused kernel does have support for it but it's buggy, but if you can wait a day or two bedwa is trying to implement BLN support in the next version of his Infusion kernel. Either of those can be flashed over the Infused ROM without a problem.

My old phone had a bluetooth light for when a device was connected. Figured it might be as such.
dani explained it
& i know hes right as light sensor=lux in gps status, just noticed this
Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?
They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

They do light up in low light conditions. Atleast they do on my HOS.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

There should be an app in the market or online called led hack to disable them

Don't think it's on the market these days? I have found a copy but need to be rooted - but thanks for suggestion. I'll root at some point but my One S may need to be returned as currently in discussions with HTC over mobile network reception.
Could someone post the APK of Power Switch Lite (its free!) ? I wanted to test it out....

It puts the device to sleep after the case has been closed, similar to the iPad 2's magic case, but this app uses the light sensor to detect the amount of light after you close the case.

So if you suddenly turn off the light in the room, it will shut off the screen?

Not necessarily. You can configure the light sensitivity in the full version, and you can also use other sensors (such as proximity and accelerometer) to activate sleep

Somewhat. The light sensor is weak so I have to turn on accelerometer sensing and shake the crap out of it to get into lockscreen. But I am unrooted and it says it needs root to work perfectly, so I'm going to root and try again

I was wondering if there was a mod or something that could enable an LED light like such for the Nexus s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyWufbpSLpw
Let me know.

Use a kernel with BLN support. It will use your captivate buttons as a makeshift LED notification.'

Does it work well?
Well, sort of. When I had my Vibrant, I could make the buttons really pop out and see them from across the room. With this, if I can see the buttons, then I have a notification. If I don't see any buttons, then it's because the lights are off. It's not as bright and nice as the Vibrant, but at least I can look and see if I have notifications. If you use CM10, there is an option in settings for it, under Advanced.
You can try this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=fr
Works well, no need for specific kernel

Except that it drains the battery more on SLCD screens.

Could someone port us the Quick Glance feature? These would be great for meetings. :fingers-crossed:

+1 but wouldn't that affect it if it happened to be in your pocket or even a dark room?

It works when its placed on a flat surface. I also believe it works by using the proximity sensor which of course also uses light sensor so it can see your hand in the dark. I really do hope someone can get this to work on our GSIII.
Its cool. Don't see why it would be useful though..

You're at work, sitting at your desk. Your led light is blinking and you want to see what you've missed.
Hit a button? Who does that nowadays? Simply hover your hand over the proximity sensor and bam! You notice you've missed a text, which can wait. Carry on with your work, son.
Or you can wake your phone when the led is blinking, respond to the text, and then waste time on your phone reading XDA when you should be working.

Wow, that is pretty nifty. Let's be honest, most of the GSIII features are mostly just cool things to show people with SOME (but little) real application.
I would love this as well.

I wonder how much battery this consumes as it'd have to keep the proximity sensor active all the time.
