actually there is a light sensor, there is just no proximity sensor. both the pure and the touch diamond 2 have the ambient light sensor.

but i have no idea with the setting.

it is not free

search for Touch Incall Tweak. Maybe it can be modded to include locking based upon light or lack thereof.

Touch Lock Pro has it and its free.

And it works excellent, try it

[Q] ipad 2 proximity sensor like function

Hey I was just wondering if it is possible to gain the same function as the iPad 2 has with its proximity sensor with our gtablets since we have a light sensor?
I'm not sure if it has already been asked before or if the devs are working on something similar but to me it would just make our already amazing tablet even greater

I'm not 100% sure, but I think a proximity sensor requires both a transmitter and a receiver. I assume IR.

I think iphone & ipad use light sensor to make a trick on the proximity sensor, if the light get completly darken it will assum that the device is close to a hard surface, ie: the face in the case of the iphone, so i assume that it will be posible to do so with a little software trick ... btw, anyone know which ROM take the advantage of this light sensor setting in use? don't see it on Vegan ..

Sensor behind the display? Looks almost like a dead pixel

Hello, I just bought a gear s2 classic and noticed something strange on the screen. When the screen is off and you look under a bright light, there looks to be a sensor in the center of the screen, which almost looks like a dead pixel. I included a pic but not sure if you can see it. Is this normal or should I exchange it? Thanks!

Don't worry, this is normal - no need to exchange it :good:

Yeah. That's a sensor.
Ambient light sensor. Adjusts display brightness to compensate for bright conditions.
Be thankful!

What's the little dot between camera and flash?

I noticed that since the leaks. First I thought that will be the laser focus module for LDAF, but since I got Pixel 3 on my hand, I found that was too small to be a laser focus module than any other phone has.
Besides, I tried use another camera and pointed at the back of Pixel 3 when its camera open, there's no flash coming out of that dot like my Pixel 1 did.
So what is that dot exactly? It seems like a illumination sensor but I've got no idea why we need a illumination sensor on that position. Also I can't find any explanation on Google store website.

Did u call support?

It's a Spectral + Flicker Sensor.
Pixel 3 phones don't have the laser autofocus anymore.

On a similar note, did anyone else notice that the black model of the Pixel 2 has it's sensors hidden behind tinted glass, but the Pixel 3's are on full display behind clear glass? I wonder why they changed this. I liked the clean look of the tinted glass over the sensors.

Which sensors do you mean?
Front-facing sensors like proximity and light sensor? Or the rear sensor?
If it's for the rear, that's because Pixel 2 had IR autofocus sensors, which are themselves deep black and therefore easier to hide. The flicker sensor of Pixel 3 is not black so it will always stand out.

Does the OP7 have under screen sensors?

Was at the beach... in direct sunlight, max brightness, white screen, I not only see the fingerprint sensor circle where it should be, but I also see 2 smaller circles... maybe an inch from the top of the screen and on the right side.
Does anyone else ha w these? Make sure it's bright enough so you can see the fingerprint scanner (if you can't see that, then you won't see the smaller ones).
I know the Pro has an underscreen sensor, but I thought the 7 was like the 6T.. next to the camera? Or did the 6T have it under the screen, too?
Why are there 2 circles?

Verified with another camera that there's definitely an IR sensor there (at least the left of the 2 circles).
Not sure of it's for light or proximity, or what the other one is. Weird they did this for the 7 but not 6T?

Yes, we have prox sensor and light sensor under screen. Why we have it in op7 but not in op6t? Maybe before the cost was so high or efficiency so low
