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?

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?

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.
Hello everybody. Firstly I'd like to sorry but my English is poor. Ok, so what's going on? One day I saw that 4 touch buttons don't have backlight. So I tought it could be that light sensor. I've gone to the display settings and I set up auto brightness. And nothing has changed... No matter where I go, brightness doesn't change at auto. And this no backlight of 4 touch buttons... My question is: what it could be? What is wrong with my HTC? Could it be software issue or rather hardware?
the autobrightness setting your messing with is for the backlight of the screen, not the 4 buttons. as for the 4 buttons, what kernel and rom are you on? newer xe kernels have brightness setting for the buttons (if its bright outside itll turn off, if its dark then itll turn on). does the backlight of the 4 buttons never work or just sometimes?
I use stock 1.50~~ ROM with stock htc kernel. Sometimes (as now for example) 4 buttons backlight works, sometimes not, it's lottery... Now there is working also light sensor. I woke up today and it has been working, but since monday to yesterday it didn't work. Strange issue...
Try check tour sensors with androsensor from Market/Google Play.
It shows you whats sensors do work.
Light sensor is at the top left hand side of the phone at the front beside the speaker. Put your thumb over it and see if the buttons light up. If they do light sensor is working!
My sensors are still not working to all the time.
I did edit the build.prop with this line at the botten:
ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0
Reboot 2x
Wich helped .
But now its gone again,it drives me nuts
There is shortcut for light sensor check, for example on Samsung i9001 I can use *#*#0588#*#* - Proximity sensor test
hope this can help

And what should happen ?
Tried it,nothing.
Thanks tho.
Do you have it in a case? I put mine in a gel case and although it didn't appear to block the sensor I was finding that when I finished a call the screen didn't light up again. I trimmed the case so that it had much more clearance around the sensor and it works well now.

Is your proximity sensor working during calls?
Not for me
(Ps.factory reset in total dark worked till reboot)
Did anyone figure this out?
I bought a used phone for a great price but my light sensor and proximity sensor dont work. Confirmed with androsense.
I would really like to just have the buttons light up all the time when the screen is on. Anyone know how to make that possible?
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
How does this work given the camera is usually inside the phone?
I'm pretty sure the phone doesn't check the light through the selfie cam but through a designated sensor. Could be wrong though ?
No phone checks the light with the camera.... It uses a brightness sensor as any other phone too.....
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.
