Was making a phone call today and looked at my phone and I saw a little red beats audio icon light right next to the light sensor near the tmobile logo on top!
It lights up during calls for me! I thought it was the coolest thing haha. Maybe we can change the color on it or something.
i'm pretty sure that's just the light sensor..

either the light sensor or the proximity sensor.
No way man, that's beats!!! Theirs even one in the back in the cam lense! You have to keep the flash to always on. Look real close at the cam. Take a picture! But make sure you're really close. You might miss it.

I noticed that little red light today as well. It comes on when making a call with or without the headphones, I would guess it's proximity sensor as well.
Dude, its the proximity sensor. It has NOTHING to do with Beats...
I had to put a call on speaker a sec ago and I have to admit, the sensor does kinda resemble the beats logo when your in the dark

Anyone hear a small rattle on the bottom left corner if you shake the transformer? Very quite but I can hear something loose in there
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yes! I have something actually moving inside mine. Can hear it sometimes when you rotate the unit. Posted a thread but nobody else seemed to have the same problem. Trying to decide whether to send it back as I have no other problems at all (including no light bleed!) .
I reckon its a bit of plastic moulding ...... if only you could remove the back!?!
Mine its good too. Low light bleed. Just don't want it to end up being a bad defect that presents itself later on. Plus every time I rotate the unit il hear it. so just us 2 hey....wierd....quick everyone go shake their transformers and see

sounds like the rotation sensor for orientation? My Acer had the same sound. Sounded like it sliding.

It moves tho. If I shake it one way it will stop until I shake it the other way.

Anyone have the same problem as me? Basically my capacitive button back lights tend to not always actually light up. They choose when they want to light up. I usually do a reboot and they go back to normal but an hour later they shut off and turn on whenever, rarely turn back on though.

They are turned off when the sensation is exposed to light and are on when there isnt that much light. For example, using the sensation in sunlight will keep it off while using the sensation in a dark room will leave it lit.

Yeah, I get what you mean, my G2 was like that as well.
Thing is that im in my room right now and its dark in here, besides my tv which isnt emitting much light and theyre off right now. Luckily i still know where the buttons are located and which one is which, but its annoying knowing theyre off when they should be on.

Sounds like its time to send in your phone for a replacement. I just tried on mine what you described, and my keys light up. I would get a warranty exchange

I have the exact same problem with my button back lights, and will probably have to send it back to HTC for a replacement.

Just put your finger over the light sensor. If the capacitive lights come on, they work.
If they don't come on, they don't work.

True, but they shouldn't function that way. It should be automatic. I'd send it in for repair.

They are 'automatic'. They come on when the phone is booted, and when the ambient light is low.
They don't STAY on when you can see them perfectly well without being lit. That would drain your battery life faster.
That's actually a good thing.
People shouldn't return a device because of a 'feature', IMHO.

Mine stay on constantly regardless of light. Not sending it for repair as it's likely software not a hardware problem.

I don't even realize if mines are on or off since I know where the buttons are, so I guess it doesn't bother me.
When the camera re focus's on something I can hear a click sound coming from the lens area. Anyone else confirm this?
Just put your hand over the lense and you should hear it, then take it away and repeat.
Mine does this as well. It seems to do it more when it's trying to focus on something very close.
Same here, but with the all the noise my dslr makes I ignored it.

i know this may sound stupid but when i shake the camera, is that the lense i hear moving around? Thx though for letting me know its a normal sound (focusing)

It's normal, mine does it too. I believe it's the focus mechanism in the camera. My previous iPhone 4s did the same thing.
*Edit* I just shot a few pics outside in the sun and I must say.....this camera takes incredible pics. They are on par or better than my iPhone 4s camera shot.
Yep mine too, don't worry

It's probably the shudder. My old moto photon used to do that as well.
Hey guys,
Over the past few weeks I've realized a weird clicking noise when typing text messages. I do have "Vibrate feedback" enabled. Every time the phone vibrates from touch feedback, not only do I hear the normal sound of the vibration, but also an audible clicking noise. Is this normal? This sound was never an issue prior to a week ago.
Thanks
I get that too. It sounds like it's coming from inside the phone, not the speaker. But I think it's a common HTC one x flaw, because there are ALOT more people who have it also.

Try settings, language & keyboard, HTC Sense input, sound feedback.
On or off?
Sorry if I'm being captain obvious here, but I've overlooked simpler things myself.

probably the camera lens. put your ear next to the lense and lightly shake your phone. it's how the phone was designed
The noise surely isn't coming from the speaker. Maybe something loose within the phone? The lens noise is something I've noticed from the start, but this is unrelated.
Not something that is crazy annoying, but I was wondering if others had the same issue. Shaking the phone won't replicate the noise, and when I turn "Vibration feedback" off, the click will go away upon touching the screen.
It's a defect with the vibration motor. Of the 5 HOXs that I've gone through, 3 of them had it including my current one. It's annoying but it's the only problem my HOX has so I'm dealing with it.

Luckily I don't have this because I'm typing all the time. Seriously a lot. The camera lens click did worry me at first before I read this thread.
I occasionally get a clicky screen on the top though. Don't really press up there much.

yeah, it's how they designed it. I'm not sure the reasoning, but I do know that it was intentional
Using Swiftkey, I noticed that if I had my vibration duration too low (I think the default is 10ms) I would get the clicking and barely any vibration. Ramping it up at 20ms makes the vibration actually noticeable and the clicking stops. I think it may be the latency between you hitting the screen and the vibration motor kicking on that causes the clicking since (pulling numbers out of nowhere here...) the vibration motor may take 9.9ms to kick on after receiving a vibrate signal but at 10ms it receives an off signal so it just studders and causes a clicking noise.
Yea I get this too. This is my 3rd hox and all three have had it. I stopped worrying about it too much since I realized it has to be common. I noticed it after flashing different rooms since the vibration feedback when typing seems to feel more pronounced than on stock sense.

SwiftKey you can edit your own feedback. I set it to 20-25ms and it's fine.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have the SAME exact thing. Definetely not the camera lens. Seems to be near the bottom of the phone. It's this clicky, poppy, tapping noise as if you are pulling apart two sticky objects. I agree that it seems like the vibration motor.
I had it on my desire gsm. I think its due to vibration kicking in.
Well I can try later, keyboard vibration off and see if it makes a click.
But never did annoys, I'm loving it actually, just like a typewriter.
Guys. It's the vibration feedback when typing. The response time must be different than the program time and it only kicks a little. I set my SwiftKey keyboard to 25ms vibration when typing. It's very nice. No clicks because it gives it enough time to vibrate and it feels good. Trust.

I'm have this same problem on a new HT 27 batch model. This is not just a SwfitKey typing issues a the capacitive buttons and the dialer all make the same clicky noise. I getting really bored of swapping my HOX now this is my third and what I thought was perfect is not. I will have to send my to HTC as it's out of the 28 days grrrr.
Mine has the same problem, it sounds and feels really wrong like it's scraping against something. I heard a friend who has the EVO 4g LTE say he has the same problem.
Makes me feel really bad about the phone, like they didn't care enough to test it properly.
Mine also does this if the vibrate feedback is enabled. I just disabled it and now I'm fine.

Thank you i was searching everywhere but not within this setting.
I have an HT25 i never get a click but aosp roms have much more intense vibration then sense roms. Wish i knew how to lower the intensity in CM10 and other aosp roms.
Yesterday midnight i was talking to my girlfriend on my htc pico using handsfree and i noticed that a red colour light appeared from the light sensors present in the top right of pico when the screen turned off.. can anyone make it work as a notification light??
Well probably, but this is very, very low light, I can't see how would be visible during the day, its proximity sensor by the way. But in this area of thougts, some time ago, I stumbled on an app that made your buttons to glow as a notification, if you can search a bit to find it, maybe it will do the trick, later (5-6hours) when I go home I'll also try to find it if you can't, but give it a try.
