Not sure what it was you saw, but there is no notification LED on the Explorer (sadly).
the glowing thing was your proximity sensor...
yea that was surely your proximity sensor and what you thinking as proximity sensor was the other light sensor of course
Try calling with ur screen off and may u see little red light .

Yes man its proximity sensor its help the phone to identify that U keeping Ur phone close to Ur ear or not .if u keep it closer to Ur ear it will automatically switch of the screen light.. its working even in many voice call application also man.
U stated the its near proximity sensor but its near ambient light sensor...
Ambient light sensor will help u to adjust the screen brightness automatically based the light intensity in Ur surrounding...
Proximity sensor will use some kind of light emission which will reflected by any obstacle (Ur face or anything) then it will reach the sensor once again this will help the device find that Ur keeping Ur phone nearer...
I got it . Is the proximity sensor which shows low red light on upper right corner. You can try this app (pocket sensor) and turn it on , you too will be able to see that light.
Thanks

Hi.
Just got my Sensation today and have been setting it up etc. In all the excitement, I didn't notice until now, the notification light on my handset flashes behind the speaker, next to the front camera. Am I correct in thinking that the circle on the left of the speaker is the notification light and that's what should be flashing (when charging, message received etc)?
Faulty handset?

Nope. If you check the manual, that circle on the left is the light sensor and there is one in the screen under that one, that's the proximity sensor.
notification light
Red LED lights is on on mi desire non-stop working without any problems, how to turn off the light?
Hi you turn off notification lights by going into settings, display, notifications led, uncheck all you want to stop blinking.. this should do the trick . It will only blink during changing now

how to disable light sensor for optimus 3d?
You mean the light sensor that controls the brightness of your screen or the light sensor that detects when you are in a call and turns off the screen?
I'm pretty sure you can disable the first one by just turning off Auto Brightness. The second one can't be disabled as far as I know.

Well, I was also wondering because when you turn the phone in talking position but away from your ear the screen is still on, when you get close to the ear the screen get off right away...
Can you change the delay on the proximity sensor at all? When I move the phone away from my head it takes a good few seconds for the screen to come back on meaning it takes me about 5-6 seconds at least before I can hit the end call button.
My light sensor has not worked i believe since i purchased my phone so i am in the need for help to activate the capacitive light buttons permanently somehow or fix my light sensor xD.
Any help appreciated.
Solved my problem, seems i have a horrid sensor... bit of tin cover the sensor and its always on now YAY! been trying to solve this problem for agessssss.
send it off to HTC

On the G2x, is the little area on the front of the phone, to the left of the front facing camera a LED light? Because if so, I can't get mine to work. I have my texting set up to light up if I get a text or whatever, but only the 4 bottom main icons light up.
Thanks for looking!
I think the touch lights at the bottom of the screen light up or flash on and off to let you know there was a call or such. I do not know of a colored led light on the g2x.

That is the Proximity Sensor that turns the screen off when you put the phone to your ear. There are no LED in the G2x except the bottom touch buttons.

Touche.
One missing feature of our beloved note it the ability to turn the screen off when closing the cover over the screen.
Also proximity sensor is missing too..
However there are apps that make use of the light sensor to turn off the screen...
I have tested various apps including tasker, locale plugin, smart screen off and so on, which can make use of the light sensor to turn the screen off..
But I find that the light sensor itself is not very sensitive in low light conditions..
Even in a dimly lit room the sensor detects only 0 lux and forces the screen off... Bummer..
Anyone here sucessfully using case close screen off ???????

Ipad and few other devices like nexus 7 makes use of the magnet sensor.. THis is the best way to do it as there is no battery consumption.
Samsung may not have included this as the magnet might interfere with the s pen..

When I load up tasker, it allowed me to create a condition using the magnetic field state. But I'm new to the app and haven't figured out how to use it yet.
