Hey guys, I'm fairly new here, but there's something that keeps bothering me.
On the left side of the LG there's this 3(?) LED lights or something..
Does anyone have a clue on how they work, or if they even work?
Well, they are not LEDs, they are sensors. Two of them are obvious, one is proximity sensor and the other one would be light sensor. Don't have a clue about the third though...
I'm secretly hoping the third to be a notification LED of some sort
Thanks though

- Accelerometer sensor
- Proximity sensor
- Gyro sensor
eh, what?

That makes no sense. The gyro and accelerometer have no need for visual input, hence highly(!) unlikely that they are what you say they are.
i suspect the first 2 from the left are both proximity sensors, it could be to increase reliability.
the 3rd is the light sensor.
The proximity sensor is based on an IR diode and an IR receiver, just "film" your O2X with a camera and you should see the IR LED flashing.
Thank you guys
Still think they should've put a LED in it though.
Since I use the Ambient Display ,I've heard that Ambient Display is prone to pocket movements ,is there an app to keep the screen off while proximity sensor is covered ?
Thanks in advance !
My i9305 dropped and now the front glas is cracked. screen & touch are still working, but the glas in front of the proximity sensor is cracked.
it does now always report 0 (attached to ear). Only with bright light in a specific angle I can trigger the proximity sensor, so I know the sensor itself is not broken. So the screen stays black when calling someone.
I tried recalibration: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353972
but it did not change anything.
I dont want to replace the front glass, because I heared it might cause more trouble (with screen, touch and the sensors) - besides the proximity sensor everything does still work fine.
Ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, compass, accelerometer stopped working when my phone fell down. Any idea to get it repaired. I don't have warranty.
Hello,
does anyone know how the virtual proximity sensor works?
AIDA64 and other apps say it is a "Ear Hover Proximity Sensor (ProToS)"
The same sensor should be in the Galaxy A51 as I found here

I know that it has no more real infrared proximity sensor.
Just accidentally stumbled over this post. Can you tell me how this ear hover proximity sensor performs? From the name I'd guess it only detects proximity if an ear is actually covering the sensor, and pocketing the device or waving your hand over the sensor will not trigger it, correct?

when I first heard about this phone it sounded like a fantastic device, that impression keeps getting eroded.
