led in ear piece

Im not too sure what to type in to search for this but Ive noticed there's something that looks like an led in the ear piece of my TP. I havent seen too much discussion referencing this during my browsing through the saute but i was wondering if anybody knew anything about what this might be or do.

Re: led in ear piece

Last I checked, this LED looking object is actually a light sensor that when enabled will automatically adjust your screens brightness.

But that's just what I've heard, feel free to correct me if I am mistaken as I am new to the Touch Pro.

Re: led in ear piece

i think you're talking about the light sensor. looking at the "ear-hole" on the phone, it's to the left? i don't know what ALL it does. i think one of it's functinoes is to turn the screen off when you have the phone to your face so you don't push buttons with chubby cheeks. also if you have the auto dim function on in your settings, it will change the brightness of your screen depending on "background light"

Re: led in ear piece

yes it is a light sensor it allows the phone to do some pretty useful things...like automatically dimming your phone when its dark in the room...it saves battery power. its also used in other programs but none of them i use or know what for...
