[Q] Pocket sensor/proximity sensor? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I installed Tweaky ROM a few days ago, and since then my phone has been waking up if I take it out of my pocket.
This morning, I noticed that when the phone is locked or on the lockscreen, there is a very faint red light I have never noticed before;
When locked
Screen unlocked
Does anyone know what this actually is? My RAZRi had a pocket sensor, but never did this. Is it just a feature of Tweaky?
Thanks

G1 dev phone screen does not respond amost 70% of time

i purchased g1 from ebay, right from day1 the screen does not respond properly in fact most of the times. i need to reset soft one to at least g1 working. i upgraded to jesusfrake adp1.1 but issue is same. looks like a s/w bug or problem as if it were a h/w problem it would not have worked at all. if iam lucky it works like a charm but stops responding once i get some sms/email alert or install any app from market. can someone help here!!
Have you already tried reflashing the firmware? If not, do that. Otherwise, why don't you contact the person you bought the phone from. It sounds like it may be a hardware problem which might be why that person was selling it.
i did flash everything from bootloader to firmware to rooting. but problem remains same...it works for 5 minutes and again screen stops responding but trackball is active....right now iam on latest JF formware..
is anyone facing a simillar problem??? any work arounds....
Sometimes my home screen goes completely blank on me and seems nonresponsive for about 30 seconds. Can be pretty annoying. It seems to happen when I'm switching from an app to the home screen.
Contact HTC directly and ask for an exchange or something. All G1's have been out for less than a year and so they should be covered by warranty.
I put a new screen protector on my G1. I noticed that it had a bad reaction with the touch and I took it off. After I took it off, my touch screen got much worse. It was very jumpy and unuseable. There was a practically invisible film on the screen (couldn't even really feel it. I took a little bit of soap on a lint free cloth and wiped the screen down and let it sit for just a minute (to soak any residue) and wiped away. My screen worked perfect after that.
I was ready to call in for a replacement.
could it be a bug as if it were a hardware problem it would prevent touch screen responding at all!!!
i downgraded to rc 30 and rooted the phone, now its working like a charm!! strange though.......

Grey Screen (NO REACTION) - Please help me out guys

Hey guys...
So, I have my Desire Z since about 4 weeks and nothing went wrong with it.
Really NOTHING bad happened, it didn't fall on the floor, didn't fall into water, etc etc.
So this afternoon I unlocked it and suddenly I got a blank grey screen.(worked perfect in the morning) The phone did react to my power up/on button, but I couldn't see what I was doing. Also the touchscreen worked, because I could unlock it (I heard the unlock noise) but I only get a blank grey screen.
I tried Bootloader and Battery pull. Also I took out my SD/SIM/Battery and just blow through the whole phone but nothing want to happen:-(
By the way, my phone is fully rooted and running on Cyanogenmod7 since 5 days. Everything worked perfect until this afternoon...
EDIT:
Looks just like this http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/forthcomingtangent/DSCI1196.jpg

[Q] strange infrared/red beam always activated when leaving or retrieving phone

Hello all,
Just wondering if this is a common thing, I've started to notice (after updating the N915G to the Australian 5.0.1 firmware) that the infrared/red light sensor that is used to measure heartrate etc is always activated. I first noticed it the first night after flashing 5.0.1, and now I'm obsessed with the fact that it seems to be activated, when I take it out of the pocket, when I lift my hands away from the back of the phone, when I lift the phone off the surface or when placing it down. Almost anything that "covers" the proximity turns it on for a brief second.
It feels WRONG. Could anyone let me know if there's a way I could deactivate or "fix" that?
I haven't seen that on mine sorry, you might need to factory reset and see if it still occurs?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
****, that must suck.
Well, I have never saw this before and I have no way to fix it, I'd just bring it back to the store.
Ok Samsung, **** you! I bought s7 on 01.04.2016, 1wk later water damage, got new phone after 10 days without it, now this and another 10 days without phone

screen goes black

Hi everyone!
I've just installed a compass app.. As a feature this app also shows magnet fields.. Being curious I walked around my home and put my phone against different things to see what it said..
When I came to one of my speakers the phone went dark.. I pulled it back and it showed me the lock screen.. tried this several times with the same result.. Figured this must be a common phenomena with smartphones that is this close to a big speaker.. So I went to get my wifes phone to confirm my suspicion. Without success. Her display stayed on all the time.. But as soon as I put my phone there it went black..
Does anyone have av idea of why my phone reacts as it does?
(My phone: OnePlus 6
Wife phone: Huawei p10)
Seems that we have a sensor for magnetic fields? Maybe for active cases?
I see.. so if I get you right my phone recognize the magnetic field as a lid being closed over the screen and there for turns it off?
