Faint red light from sensors?
There is a very faint red light from the sensor area (top right corner) of the phone. Is this normal?
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.

This is the IR-LED from the proximity sensor. If you use a camera, you will see the light more clearly. Although a human eye usually can't see IR light, it's more or less normal as long as it's only a light shade.
I can see mine at night. In daylight I can't see anything on my Jolla. So either your Jolla has a LED with a slighty off wavelength or your eyesight is extraordinary and you can see IR ;) Or we just have a different meaning of what is bright and what isn't....

It also bother me. I'm not sure if it was visible since the beginning or if I did something wrong. But it's not visible on the other phones I've checked on (I can't even see it with a camera on the N9, but maybe it's because the glass in front of it is tinted?)

deedend ( 2014-02-19 18:14:28 +0200 )editMine and two other Jollas now have this.I noticed it after u13. I asked my friend to check his before the update and he saw nothing. After the update a faint red dot appeared to top right corner.
