it already is visible if your eyes can see the spectrum of light that it emits (spoiler alert, you cant)

Maybe because for now you can only see it when the screen is on only... And yes i can see it
You can try with the code *#77692# in the dialer then click on "proximity sensor"

yea, that's definitely not possible, but why don't you try LED Me Know?

Yes it does. Very small though.
it's very tiny:
but can change to many different colours, tested it out using light flow app.
Is there a way to activate the notification led? Mine only glows when charging.. No light for missed calls nor sms..
Light flow won't work neither.
Maybe there's a setting I missed?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Are there any led notification?

I know we dont have a led notification. but i saw a red led while my phone is charging and someone was calling me. and when i look my phone on the sunlight(not straight, with a little inclination) i see a black bar( darker than phone's top) left of the htc logo.
so, we have NOT a led notif officially. can we make it glow?

i think its a light sensor, if you ring someone and they answer, put your thumb over that bit and the screen goes blac, move your thumb away and it lights up again so i dont think it can be done
thats the proximity sensor;we have no notification led from what i can tell(i dont really need one though but it would have been nice)

but i saw it was glowing red i swear and that was maybe a bug cos the screen was in battery screen when i got call
it does glow red when you get/make a call but i dont know the technical details,all i know is that its a proximity sensor that activates when calls are involved or with apps(changing music with it etc)
It's a proximity sensor, it cannot be controlled. It lights whenever out needs to

you can control the sensor via apps

But it is not bright enough to be used as notification LED
You really wouldn't be able to configure the light. It's part of a sensor, ffs

you CANNOT use the sensor as a notification led.
i was saying you can control the sensor with apps like wave control etc. not only when you get calls.
with wave control you can change tracks,pause the music player etc by using the sensor to detect hand movement.

By switching the sensor on and off we can make the led blink but as i said the led is not bright enough and will not be visible in most of the cases, it will also lead to battery wastage

Did you drop your phone into water? Usually that red light glows when Then phone becomes wet / moist

auto brightness

Is autobrightness working on this phone?
Yes it is. Why should it not?

Cos it's not working for me...
Enter the service Menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* and go to "Service Tests", "Ambient Light Sensor".
In complete darkness the Sensor output should be 0 in direct light it should be something over 10000 (at least it is with my phone).
If the value is constant your Sensor probably is broken.

It works but the brightness range must be very narrow then cos I barely see the difference
Then it could be a software bug. I can clearly see how my display brightens up when I hold it under a bright light source.
Do you have display brightness maxed out? Mine is on a medium setting.

I have latest rom...
It is set to medium for me as well
Maybe I was simply
simply used to the gnex
Nah mine does it too. I can't notice any difference when sliding the brightness bar... or it must be very minimal...

A Red LED Below The Top Speaker Of XT1068

I dont know weather anyone has noticed it or not but i have noticed that there is a RED LED which glows when you are in a call on XT1068 MOTO G2 you can see the led only in complete darkness. The led is located under the top speaker i dont know if it glows everytime on a call or just when there is less batery left and you get a call.
Hope this can motivate developers to take advantage of the LED.
That's a proximity sensor switching off the screen when you put your phone near your ear.
Yeah its the proximity sensor. Their a notification light next to the top speaker that you can use and the proximity sensor is great if you want to do something like wave to wake.

A blinking white pixel next to the front camera

Hello, During a call and while listening to a voice message in Wattsap, a white pixel blinks next to the front camera while the screen is on.
Is that a problem or have more people got it?
Maybe it's normal?
Thanks

That's is intended for the notification light I have been hearing people want to activate it.
it's in display notification light.
Can you guys share a photo of it? if possible.
cant be screen captured because i tried 100s times but all captures came without that mark which gave me indication it could be hardware problem!!
Same here. Some people say that indicator is proximity sensor. If you cover just that blinking pixel with a sharp pointed thing (knife etc.), you will see the screen goes black.

I don't think so because you will not see it in incoming call, it is only for outgoing calls!!

No, I see it in incoming calls also. Just answer the call and you will see.

Yes u r right
this is the dot
https://ibb.co/pWT1886
I'm wondering if that's across all the models?
it's also on the plus models....
I also have noticed this issue on the s10+ model
it occurs when making a call or receiving a call (normal phone calls, whatsapp calls)
during a call, if it is switch to speaker phone, it stops blinking.
during a call, if i cover that blinking pixel with a narrow strip of paper the screen will go black (as if the phone was next to the face during a call)

It could be the proximity sensor. If i remember correctly ,in JerryRigEverything's video he showed there are sensors behind the display which also have some cutouts. I could be wrong...
I see, well that dot coming up looks SUPER ****ing irritating. I pre-order the S10+ have not got mine early like my brother did and others have, I hope there is way to get rid of the ****ing light tho like honestly...
A proximity sensor would be around that area but why does it light up white like an actual dot?
My two cents would have been the proximity sensor would be in the middle of the front cam notch where cuts out already exists.
