Interesting... I hate auto brightness and always turn it off. Why then would it be glowing when the screen is asleep?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aramova:
Correction. The red glow people notice is an Infra Red emitter which is used in conjunction with the proximity sensor. The light sensor is the black hole to the right of the red glow people report.

You can test this by using at CMOS based camera (i.e. the camera in another smartphone, or any point-and-shoot digital)

Point the camera at the Galaxy Note's front while the screen is off and you'll see the light is bright white coming from the point where we see the faint red glow. It's most pronoun when tested in a dark room.

This is cause IR emitters are generally just LEDs which work at the far red side of the spectrum and near-visible red light is not a real concern in the applications they're used in. You see this alot on "night time security cameras" that have the arrays of IR LEDs to light up night shows with near 0 LUX cameras.

Also try testing your TV remote against your phone's camera, you'll see it strobe bright light the camera can see but you can't. Get an array of high power IR LEDs and you won't need a flash for you smart phones at night. Lots of fun stuff to do with these.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
I was actually convinced it was the sensor used to to monitor your eyes for the smart stay feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stank0:
The front facing camera takes care of that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gilbydakid:
Do you have quick glance on?

Sent from the Galaxy beast note ll
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] feekhong:
the red light that you see is the night sensor, just wave your hand above the sensor in the dark, a blue notification light will light up and then the top screen will glow showing you the time, missed calls , message and battery percentage. it's awesome...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bl4ckllama:
One word. Skynet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
I'm going to look for ir emitters now thanks lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Bunch of dummies! Jk lol.. That is the motion sensor and it turns on when the screen is off because you have quick glance from the motion settings enabled. Turn off screen glance and no more red light when screen is off. Ps screen glance is when your phone is sleep and the swipe of your hand over the red sensor turns on the screen to give you a preview. It also comes on when you're on a call. You guys are welcome for the answer :p :cool:

Not true. It is not the light sensor or the reason why it's glowing. ;)

Correct

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tha_Dynasty2049:
i thought it was just a charging notification because it goes away when hitting power on stock

and when fully charged its a bright green so i think its fine

but you might can get led flow to maybe change that particular light?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LMMT:
They are talking about something completely different, than the charge indicator.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4xwellmurd3r:
that red glow is the PROXIMITY sensor

My OG Evo had the red light

so did my Evo 3D

and my galaxy SII

it technically isn't even a motion sensor. It just detects when your face is up to the phone (to turn screen off during calls) or when you touch it with the quick glance thing turned on (to turn the screen on)

It doesn't actually detect motion, but instead detects the distance of an object to the sensor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abjc89:
I don't have quick glance on, or any of those motion things, but my proximity sensor seems to get stuck on (and non reactive) every now and then. A reboot to the phone fixes it usually. Anyone else randomly getting it stuck on? I know it doesn't waste much battery at all, but I do know that it confuses apps that use sensor.proximity attributes, so a fix would be nice. I'm complete stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coppertop24:
This. is. the. RIGHT. answer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProvocativeSmell:
Screen does not come back on when moving it away from your face

The issue I have is that when I make or receive a call once the screen goes off after putting it up to your face it will not come back on even after hitting power or any other keys. It acts like its still up against your face. I flashed back to my recovery and tried several roms but still the same issue. There are no special features on like quick glance. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rukin1:
Would it be hard to port 4.2 for our phones? JUST a question

No. But it would have to be a sdk or system dump port, and we'll be getting it soon enough with AOSP.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidmarketuser:
View the last 2 pages for good information, ATM USB OTG DOES NOT WORK, but maybe (or propably) it is a software issue, which can be resolved...

View last pages

=============================================================

I think the last Nexus devices were able to host USB drives such as usb sticks etc., so do you think that it will be possible with this one?

16gb would be more than enough for me if I only use it for rom, apps, pictures and music but 720p movies won't have enough place (maybe just 1 or 2).

Is USB host mode maybe available for nearly every device (maybe only after another kernel)?

And I read somewhere that it is possible to host usb drives with "Nexus Media Importer", but it is also possible to access them via ES File Explorer for example or maybe even with Play Movies / Play Music?

At the moment I use HTC Desire (smaller movies at ~1gbyte), slowly it's time for an upgrade and this would be a must-have for me otherwise I won't buy it atm...

Maybe with USB OTG I could buy only 8gb, that would be really nice because 50€ (65USD) for 8gb is really expensive :/

Thanks for (hopefully incoming) answers ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1807:

Planned to ask the same, but you opened a topic already
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSMI:
Also with this if anyone knows. Can you access a OTG source from a recovery like CWM or TWRP? That would make the 16GB meaningless.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xmalek:
Yes the Nexus 4 supports usb OTG (and you probably won't need a custom kernel for this)

Yes you can use ESFile explorer and run everything from your hard drive

I think latest TWRP offer OTG support but I'll probably never use it since you may "brick" your phone if the flash fail and not sure if otg is perfectly stable...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidmarketuser:
Thanks for the answer :good:

Is the USB drive automatically mounted?

And is the media on it displayed in medi player apps like Music or MX Player or do I have to click on each single file with ES file explorer to play it?

After repairing the digitizer, the screen will not rotate and the game pad slider does not open the xperia play game menu.

After double checking to ensure I put everything together properly, I noticed a small magnet that must have fallen out while I was taking it apart.

could the magnet be the problem? If not, which piece of hardware is responsible for the auto rotating?

I have already performed a factory reset, I am sure the problem occured after the repair and not before.

Should I contract Patriot? my memory card still has warranty....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] limpexowns:
Most likely the memory card (micro SD) is damaged. Have you tried removing the memory card and seen if the problem is gone? If that works then you can also try using a different memory card and see if the issue is still present (there is a possibility the memory card reader is defected too).

Hi, sorry i am new here, i had sony xperia S.. but now I have a htc one x and I want to install JELLY BEAN on it but i can (i think)

because the cid is something like VODA..

how can I change it ??

or if there is anyway that i can install a JB ROM !?
[HTC One X] peedub:
You can't install a JB rom that has SENSE yet. (We're waiting for the OTA (over the air) update which will update our firmware so we can use JB sense roms)

You can, however, try AOSP/AOKP roms like CM10, IceColdJelly etc.

At this point, there's no way to change your CID.

so you mean i can install all roms that not have sense ??????? roms like CM 10 without any problems?

yes. Have anything other than jb with sense.

Yes. But when you read through you will see that some have issues of their own like GPS not working, the camera's not as good quality etc. They're perfectly usable though!

[HTC One X] traian001:
Install Android Revolution HD 9.7.2 and you've got 6000 points in Quadrant :)
[HTC One X] peedub:
I wouldn't worry too much about benchmarks. If you're unhappy, you can go to a tweaked sense rom like ARHD 9.xx or back to stock by restoring your nandroid backup that you should have made before installing other roms, or by downloading your stock ruu file (lots of threads around with details).
