What Is The Small Window In Glass Between Speaker And Camera? - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Small window in glass between speaker and camera?
What is the 3rd window (hole) for on the front panel between the speaker and the camera?
This seems to be in the same place (ish) as the moto g2 notification LED.
Does the G3 have an LED here as well as the charge LED behind the speaker grill?

No front facing camera unfortunately. Should be a hole for the light and proximity sensors...

Yes our phone has a FFC that no one knew abou till you discovered it from a case...
Yes, as stated earlier, definitely for the light and proximity sensors. If you want to test it, when you are on a call, cover up the hole with your finger. The proximity sensor will turn your display off until you remove your finger again.

[Q] Question on Front Camera Flash?

On my Verizon M8 it looks like there is a clear coat or sticker on the flash next to the front facing camera. I tried with my finger nail to scrap it off but doesn't come off like it is a sticker. Looking at the phone though from an angle in the light you can easy see though there is some sort of film cover on the front facing camera flash. Just not sure if that is built in to be like that or i need to take it off?
I don't know what it is either

Not complaining that it looks bad or anything. Can only really see it from an angle and in the light at the right angle. Just not sure if it's suppose to be there or not or have any negative impact on front facing pictures? Not a selfie type of guy anyways so doubt i'll even one use this front face camera, lol! Anyone know a good free app for maybe video calling from this phone to an iphone 5s? What my wife has.

Tried video calling once with my old HTC One X+ to my wife's iPhone 5 with tango i think? Both had full 4g service or at least 3 bars and thing was laggy. I don't know if it's all gimmicks on Apple's commercials on how literally instant and fluid their video calling is? I can't find anything that smooth or clean from HTC device to an iPhone. Probably only thing i would use this front face camera for if there is such an app???
are you referencing the IR sensors? I will be thrown for a loop if that is for flash!
Yeah, I don't think there is a flash on front..If so, loop I'll be thrown into as well.. I will say this thread made me jump into camera to try it lol

Haha, sorry guys! Never used the front camera yet so just figured it was a flash. Had no idea that was an IR sensor. Is it then also the sensor for brightness? Like when on a call and you put phone up to your ear it turns screen off or answers call doing this, sensor for this?

It's either the sensor to know when the phone is at your face, or it's the ambient light sensor.
Either way, I noticed the little overlap on mine as well. It looks to me like the whole screen has a little coating on it, but they couldn't have that over the sensor. But the cutout is just slightly off. I'm very picky, and that annoys me, but I'll deal with it haha

Exactly what I see! Just mainly concerned if that was suppose to be there or not?
This hopefully will clear it up. https://twitter.com/shen_ye/status/449290282484252672

Z3 top speaker metal

Can you please quickly look at the top ear piece and tell me if you can see some flat metal thing partially under the speaker grill mesh? is that normal?
thanks

well I haven't ripped one if these apart yet but my guess is that they had to suspend the speakers in their own little chamber in order for the acoustics to work with the waterproofing. I think that metal thing is the speaker itself.
I have gone through 4 Z3s for one reason or another and all had the same appearing top speakers so I'm guessing it's normal.
I can see the same with mine so I'm guessing it is normal for these devices

I have replaced 3 Z3s (Cosmetic defects) on my 4th, I can say its normal it's on every one I have seen.
Same here on my Z3.

Is this diagonal streak normal or not ?

As you can see in the attached pictures when a light source is at that position there will be diagonal streaks, is it normal or there's something wrong with the lens ?
in the first picture the light sources are weak and as u can see there're 3 weak diagonal streaks and in the second picture the light source is stronger and the diagonal streak has ruined the picture ..., this only happens when the light source is at that position in the image if i place the light source at the center or other positions there won't be any diagonal streaks

Screen protectors with black edges

Has anyone used these screen protectors which have black edges?
Do they block the proximity and ambient light sensors on our device?

I have one and everything is ok with sensors and stuff...
But that black edges shrinks the screen,because the complete glass is a little smaller then the screen,at least this one I have...maybe there are better ones...

Can you make a photo of your screen while it's on? Curious how much is that

I use with black edges and it covers the proximity sensor. But it works good.
