[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurominican:
What is this little thing in the corner of the speaker? It indeed looks like a notification LED...

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mephisto_POA:
You guys are funny.:rolleyes:

So ive tried all apps to control the led but no result. I was comparing to the nexus 5 and there are no options anywhere i can see to configure the led notifcation
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkygod:
If so, that's a strange place to put an ambient light sensor. Logically, an ambient light sensor should always be facing you because thats how it knows how much light you need for that environment. That's how it is for phones, monitors, and hdtvs as far as I know.

Having a notification LED on the outer edge makes sense to me because then you can see the light even when you have a cover over it.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWizardbc:
The a@mbient sensor is placed next to the front camera, only visible in bright daylight.

The plastic on the top is for the antenna according to reddit.

There is also a place at the bottom, maybe a notification led but not active yet?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KinetiClutch:
Yeah, running the test that doesn't light up.

Guessing it's a sensor or antennae design like the M8.

No LED
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

Certainly appears to be an LED at the bottom of the screen in the middle which matches the postion of the LED on the Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 4 and 5.

Not sure why it isn't working.

The ambient light sensor is to the right of the camera, tested by shining a light at it!

What looks like a plastic translucent spacer that could be an LED in the top trim by the right edge of the speaker is actually nothing more than a painted rectangle! There is no break in the trim at that point, just a bit of paint for a reason completely known to us mortals.

Hi

As an update, IFix it have posted tear down pictures.

There is definitely something directly underneath that small clearing in the glass screen above the USB port, see the picture here, the component just above the USB socket on the circuit board https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/1AkZVNkQqSqubWeh

It doesn't look much like a typical surface mount LED, although it could perhaps be a high brightness/high flux LED rather than a Red/Green/Blue LED given the color of it. It could be high flux so it can work at much lower current and still be bright enough for a white indicator.

It might be some other type of sensor altogether. Any ideas?

Regards

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astraeus85:
So I haven't had any luck getting mine to work either. I do think that stripe at the top is the ambient light sensor. If you leave the brightness on auto and use a flashlight on that strip near the speaker, the screen brightness will change, even with the spot at the bottom covered. Lite Flow had no luck getting it to work either. It does detect 3 LEDs, one of them being the screen backlight, another possibly the camera flash, hopefully the 3rd is a notification light: mmc1, mmc0, and tegra-dsi-backlight.0.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightlytoasted:
Hey guys there is an LED below the screen. No idea what the one by the speaker is though. Maybe they couldn't make the metal band continuous? Antenna?

Here's a thread and here's a video showing the LED

Likely waiting on software update to enable it in the OS.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

The band is either painted on or is a filler/spacer where there is a break in the decorative band surrounding the Nexus, it certainly isn't translucent and doesn't go through the full depth of the surrounding metal. There is no LED behind this as can be seen in the iFixIt teardown. It may even be a deliberate mark to allow aligning up some accessory, i.e when attaching the keyboard folio case you need to align two marks up, one on the Nexus 9 the other on the keyboard case.

The light you are shining into the strip near the speaker will be leaking into the sensor which is a couple of centimeters to the right of the front facing camera. You will see this hole if you shine a torch onto the front, the sensor is also visible on the circuit board in the correct position on the iFix tear down image of that part. If you shine a torch into the hole to the right of the front facing camera you'll get a much stronger reaction. :)

The hole at the bottom appears to have something sat behind it (a yellow four pin thing), however I can't seem to match this to any sort of surface mount LED type, see the iFixIt teardown, then search Google images for "surface mount led" and you will see what I mean. The LED could be a high flux LED going by the yellow color, but it is completely different looking to the one on the back for the rear camera which is also a high flux LED, and again the package doesn't resemble any typical surface mount high flux LED.

Obviously given the hole in the glass over this sensor it must be something to do with light. I did wonder if it was an infra red LED, so in the dark the front facing camera could still see our face for unlocking, however infra red LEDs do not look like that either.

It is a mystery, but now solved, the video linked to above shows a white notification LED, so it appears to be some sort of high flux LED. The 4 pins may mean it can show Red, Green and Blue, however in the case of high flux white LEDs, the extra pins can just be for heat sink purposes.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal99012:
I think it's a high flux rather than an RGB, as it appears that the surface mount RGB on the nexus 6 actually has 6 leads instead of 4

For those still curious, you can activate the charging light by running your battery down to zero, then plug the N9 into a wall charger.

Same thing happens on my MotoX (2013). It has a hidden charging light in the ear piece.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Gully.Moy:
I've recently left my i9100 for an i9305 and decided to start by flashing the equivalent to my favourite ROM from my S2, namely SlimSaber (SlimKat unoffical build with Saber Mod) from here (build 8.0). Unfortunately I didn't test it much before installing the custom ROM as I wanted to go strait back to the KitKat experience I am used to, so I'm not sure if the problem was there before.

Anyway it seems to be a common problem with smartphones - the proximity sensor doesn't work! It's really annoying because whenever I make a call the display turns off and i can't use the dialer or anything else. On my Sensor Box app it consistently reads as distance 0.0cm. Now obviously knowing that it's a common problem I'm not just burdening you guys with it without having a good dig myself.

Here's what I've tried:

* Various proximity sensor fix/calibration apps.

* Manually calibrating the proximity sensor from the terminal as outlined in Method 1 here.

* Various USSD/MMI code solutions all come to an abrupt dead end because of my other bug.

* Disabling "Turn off screen during calls" from the dialer's settings - the option doesn't seem to exist on my SlimKat dialer and i hate other dialers

* Disabling proximity and light sensor using Hardware Disabler app, worked but has awful side effects crippling other sensors!

* Blowing compressed air down the headphone jack

* Disassembling the phone and directing the sensor away from glass so it has nothing at all in front of it at all. Still registering 0.0cm.

* Swapping sensor and front camera from an i9300 which I understand is the same.

* A few different Kernels.

I have no screen protector, phone case, or crack in front of the sensor. I should however point out that i did a screen+frame swap from an i9300 which required some frame modifications, but i can't see how this would affect it... Unless perhaps it could be a grounding issue with some metal i exposed on the frame?

Any more ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bklyn1028:
Was rooted, and tried to flash MIUI v5 4.8.8. Couldn't do it. So, after reading MIUI forums, they said cannot flash their rom with a touch recovery (TWRP), so I tried to re-flash CWM, wouldn't work. Tried CWM through Odin, nada. Then the phone was in a Samung logo screen, (black and white), and stayed there. So I opened Odin, and reflashed a stock rom UCUNE5 (which worked once before), and Odin said it passed, but when it rebooted, it stayed on that black and white samsung logo. I tried to do it again, and it passed again, but it will not get out of this screen. I cannot get to recovery, it stays on that screen. The only thing I can do is go into download mode, but nothing seems to be working. Have I bricked it beyond repair?

Many people say that they have on the СM10-СM 11 bad GPS.

I have long tried many Fix's with different firmware and these mods did not help me. But I solved the problem with a GPS. So lets go.

In order to keep the GPS for work we will need to:

We need:

The program AGPSUtility

Fix GpS despite what country you live choose.

Install instructions:

Wipe data and cache

Flash the Fix GpS.zip despite what country you live choose.

Reboot

Install AGPSUtility

FAQ​

Abot AGPSUtility

1.This is not a system application, but this application is invisible. It reacts to an event module switch GPS.

2 Do not need to run the program in advance or keep open, it suffices to establish the usual way.

3 The program can be shut down without having to remove it. To do this, you need to run it a shortcut from the program list and click on the switch.

4 Switch OFF / ON, but the default is OFF, so after installation you must include it.

5 Do not remove from startup and unload from memory.

How work AGPSUtility ?

1 When you turn on the GPS settings android (in the menu, or in the quick menu, or in any special programs - it does not matter) to zero the data AGPS.

2 If the navigation program is already running, and it is necessary to get fresh AGPS data, you can do OFF / ON the GPS settings android, without leaving the program navigation.

3 If your Internet connection is not available, the program will write about it. This would mean that the update AGPS is not possible. The old data will not remove.

4 If the Internet is, the program will reset the AGPS data cache and write about it. Navigation software will get fresh data.

Good Rom

Works very well, its a very solid port, although it has several noticeable bugs. Of course that is to be expected in the first place. For one I cannot get root apps to work on it. I thought it was built in on most versions/ports. And when I turn it off plugged in the default charging symbol shows up(a grey battery) without the green battery fluid animation and then freezes on the screen until I simulate a battery pull. To get out of this I had to unplug my device otherwise it wold get stuck again. The version that kubikunde has a link to is also good. For some reason this version had root capabilities :), despite the fact that the original version(The one on the main thread for this QA) did not. Though the battery bug when charging and off was the same. These may have been unique issues for me. Both ROMS are fantastic and are well worth it to try out. However the updated version has caused artifacts in my notification bar at random times. Excellent job to the creator of the port. :good:.

Hey everyone, i've been using the G-watch for 2 days now on my htc one m8, running ARHD 21 (4.4.4) but the thing is that i can barely get 7 hours out of the phone if the watch is connected to BT, if i disconnect it i get 14 to 15 hours easy, is some one else having these issues? could an android wear app be causing these issues?

I also wanted to see if anyone out there has any suggestions to minimize the battery impact on the connected phone. I have a LG G3 phone and I could leave it overnight and only loose about 1%/hr battery (this on wi-fi, but with bluetooth and NFC turned on). Now that I have an LG G watch paired with the phone, it looses about 4%/hr overnight. It's not the end of the world because the G3 battery is pretty large, but clearly there is a huge difference in battery performance.

Has anyone created a tasker profile that might limit disconnect the phone while the watch is charging or anything else like that that might help?

Thanks!

[LG G Watch] iAppleDev:
Try the greenify app :)
[LG G Watch] sic0048:
I use Greenify. Anything special that you are doing?

Obviously the Wear App must keep the phone awake a lot more when there is a Wear device connected. As mentioned, my phone's battery usage with a wear device connected is many times worse than when there is no device connected. Specifically, I'd love to be able to disconnect the watch from the phone when the watch is charging (on the charging cradle). It obviously is not on my wrist and so there is no benefit to having it connected to the phone when it is charging (I usually charge it overnight). I could likely go 2 days with my G3 if the wear device didn't force the phone to use approx 4% battery each hour. Overnight that is 25-30% battery loss when I use to only get about a 4% total battery loss overnight prior to having a Wear device connected.
[LG G Watch] wcgibbons:
Hi,

I have the same query.

I got my G Watch a couple of days ago, and the watch itself will last the day no problem, but it is definitely having an impact on my phone (M7 running ViperROM). I don't think the phone battery is going down as a direct result of the bluetooth connection with the watch, but rather that I have wifi and/or mobile data on the whole time to make the watch function properly. Usually I use the power saving option on the phone to shut down data connection when it goes to sleep, but that makes the watch pretty useless. So I'm going from a phone that could easily do 30-36 hours on a charge before I had the watch (primarily because data would turn off when I wasn't using it), to a phone that is lasting 15/16 hours with the watch connected and data on all the time.

Is there a way to toggle wifi and mobile data directly from the watch? I know the wear mini launcher might do this for wifi, but what about mobile data?

Or is there a way using something like AutomateIT or tasker to turn on data as required? I know that apps like Lean Droid work fine on the phone for turning on data for a few minutes at whatever interval you want, and that is fine for making sure things like email notifications come through regularly. But.... what if my data is off on the phone and I want to do a voice search or send a text from the watch? Is there a way to turn on data without having to take the phone out (and in the process defeating the purpose of the convenience of the watch?)

Apologies if this is too long to read and maybe slightly off topic, but this was the closest thread I could fine related to the issue.
