My proximity sensor goes red - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have HTC Radar and trying to enter bootloader i entered this Omega System Loader Menu http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/BC/B9/ef1a07a1500bbcb9.JPG
When i managed to exit this menu my proximity sensor went red and i was like "wtf - Hal 9000!"
after restart the red proximity sensor was gone and i installed new rom. later i entered Navigon and under Reality scanner a massage appeared:
"Your device doesnt support this feature. Possible causes:
-the devicde doesnt dispose of a motion sensor.
-the motion sensor doesnt work properly"
Can you tell me what is that red sign and did i broke my htc
thank you

That's a bit too bright for a proximity sensor, but the light it emits is red, but more like infrared like the one found in Kinect. And about the motion sensor, I think it means the gyroscope, the Radar doesn't have this sensor.

Make a call and look on proximity sensor. Red means is working during call.

yes, yes, it is very slight red signal. so everything is working normal

[Q] Disable the Light sensor Galaxy s

My Galaxy S has a problem with the Light Sensor, every time i make a call my phone freezes or black screen, I tried running some sensor tests but also does same when i try the light sensor, so that must be it. have this problem for a year, at first i thought it was the proximity sensor.
When my headphone is plugged in, i dont have this problem because the light sensor wont interfear then.
I want to disable the startup of the light sensor,
I already setup ADB, so im ready to push and pull, but i don't know wich file i need to edit. remove a # here and there
Can anyone tell how wich file it is?
Got inspired by :

Sure its not the proximity sensor? Cause I got the same problem. When I accept a call screen goes black, the upper bar is visible and after a while the screen turns off. Im ceratin that is a problem with the proximity sensor or not?
Same here, yeah think its the proximity, but my light sensor also doesn't function properly, auto brightness adjustment doesnt work also.
Very anoying problem.

[Q] Proximity sensor problem is there a way to calibrate it

my proximity sensor has been acting up since the 4.3 OTA update, my screen stays black after calls, sometimes after screen time outs and I normally have to wait awhile before it'll turn back on, The infra red light for the proxy sensor stays on as well, it used to just blink occasionally. and yes I can see the infra red light, first sensor to the right of the speaker, for those of you who cant see it try looking at it with a camera and it'll become visible. since this seems to control my screen even while not making a call I need to disable it or calibrate it, I have already disabled it at phone, call settings, turn off screen during calls.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The option has been removed from 4.3 OTA, there's no way to calibrate them. Also none of the third part apps are compatible with this. :crying:

light sensor on u11 not working?

I was playing around with my phone and i was checking to see if all my phone sensors are working and turns out the light sensor isnt..
Care to explain how sensor isn't working? Hand on sensor(pocket mode) the screen won't turn on with correct fingerprint? Slightly covering the proximity sensor screen dims? Is auto brightness on? Doesn't help anyone help you just by saying it doesn't work. It is all in the details
So OP, you did the hardware diagnostics and it shows that the light sensor isn't working?

improper sensors work

Hi
I have a problem with sensors. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't (Compass Magnetometer, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor, Gyroscope). Checked also service tests (*#*#7378423#*#*).
I bought Z3 as used device. Had to replace microphone and week later LCD. Everything was working properly before and after replacing elements except sensors.
What can be the cause?
I have android 6.0.1 since I have Z3
When you check proximity sensor in service test does it works?
For me it seems like something was crashed or not connected properly because jack, microphone, proximity and ambient light is connected with one flex tape .
P.S. Today I had to disassembly Xperia Z3 because there was also problem with proximity sensor - at my case it works from time to time in service menu. Finally my problem was solved after revoming dust
If the sensors work, they work everywhere. Everything seems to be fine, also in service test. But if they don't work, also service tests are fail.
Proximity sensor and Ambient light sensor are on this element
gsmforyou.pl/files/313240969/tasma_gniazdo_zlacze_hf_czujnik_sony_z3_d6603 .jpg
but Compass Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Gyroscope are on mainboard.
So why they all don't work at this same time? I could change the element from the link but will this solve the problem?

AOD - Blinking Pixel

Hi there,
I have a blinking pixel on aod at the right of the front camera which light on all 4 seconds. Do you know what is it ?
Whilefork
I was thinking this is a sensor because I see it when I am on a call and I pull the phone away from my ear. It blinks rapidly. I don't think it's any sort of defect.
Its the proximity sensor running. You can see the same white pixel when on a call or with anything that uses the proximity sensor. Its normal, the sensor is located on the screen now.
