Nokia N8 Red light on while recording or picture. ...

After giving up on finding a hack to turn off the red light, I instead placed tape over the red light so that it's not a distraction to people I'm recording or photographing. It is extremely bright.
I'm wondering does that effect autofocus in any way?

Red light blinks while charging

I am having the same problem as this fellow here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/996781?start=0&tstart=0
But I am nowhere near an Apple Store. How should I proceed. Is there really no solution for this thing? I have used it for just two days!
I am terribly disappointed to see that these iPod shuffles have this sort of problem. I had no idea they were so crappy.

There are two parts to what the shuffle's light is telling you.
The flashing part means Do Not Disconnect. If you Eject the iPod (using the small button next to the shuffle in iTunes) and leave it connected, it should no longer flash. So flashing or not flashing is not related to the battery or charging.
The red part means the battery level is currently very low. If it does not change to amber (and green), that means the battery is not charging normally.
Make sure you have a good USB connection. If you are connecting it to a USB hub (instead of a direct connection to the computer), it may not be receiving enough power to charge. Also, too many USB devices connected at the same time can overload the computer's USB bus, so if there are other USB devices connected to the computer, try it with everything else disconnected (except for standard keyboard and mouse).
You can also try doing a Restore in iTunes. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. The Restore button is there. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If a software or settings glitch is causing this problem, a Restore should fix it.

N8 - Disable red light video recording

Any way to disable the red light during video record? Thanks

I tried all settings, and wherever i could find an option for turning the focus light off, i did.
So, i noticed that once i have settings on macro, it turns off the red light, but only for the first video shoot. If i pause, instead of stopping, and keep recording the video, it's alright.
But once i stop, the red light turns on again. In that case I have to restart the camera pro.
Not a perfect solution, but nevertheless, there is a solution.

Lumia 520 red light while making/receiving calls

I noticed there is a small red light blinking on top of screen just near the speaker, where you hear the voice while calling. This happens while making/receiving call, a small red light blinks/stays on near speaker.
Sometimes the light goes off when i press the lock button while making calls.
Solved!

Hi Joi7,
Welcome to the forum!
What you're seeing is the proximity sensor of the device. This will activate once you receive or make a call. The main purpose of the proximity sensor is to disable the screen whenever you put the phone near your ear. This is to prevent you from accidentally disconnecting the call. This also works just by covering the sensor using your hand or any object. This feature is available to all other Nokia touch screen devices. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have another concern.

Recording voice over doesn't give "red light" feedback

In the documentation it says that when a voice over recording begins "A pulsing red light in the upper-left corner of the screen indicates that recording is in progress."
I see the red like graphic and what looks like an audio meter, but they are static--they don't blink or change or anything. So I don't get a visual feedback that it is actually recording or if my audio level is right.
I just installed iWork 09 this week and it seems to be the same results on the 3 different Macs I use around here.
Is this a feature in 09 or did I miss some setting someplace?

Yes, I've proven it is a bug with external sound cards/mixers. I switched to the internal audio on my MacBook Pro and the meter worked fine. I did report it, but who knows if or when it'll be corrected. Perhaps they have an issue with external devices that self-regulate the audio levels?

Red light constantly on my nokia 5800

right my 5800 has a few problems
firstly it wont unlock unless if i mash the middle button to open the main screen then unlock
my wifi doesnt connect to anything
the screen is constantly dark even though it has its brightness turned to the maximum
if it runs out of battery i have to mash the xpress music button all the time so it vibrates and turns on
and most annoying of all the red camera light is constantly on even though the camera isnt
just wondering really does any one know why this red light is constantly on and is the fixing of this the answer to all my problems ??

Try a reset and format of the phone back up first as this wipes all data and settings .
When you restore do not restore settings .
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
That fails
*#7370# - Reformat your phone

Blinking red light while in docking base

What does this mean? I don't think it is charging because it will do this all night. Used to be just fine. I haven't been able to find any discussion around a slow blinking red light on the Shuffle...it flashes on and off at about .5 Hz
Ideas? Tried it on a bunch of computers and even a wall charger. Is the battery done? (At only 9 months!)

well, i sort of managed to get the shuffle to an apple authorized repair centre here in bangalore,india where they infact had the firmware updated to the latest and since the charge indicator was showing a red, the executive at the shop suggested that the unit was really low on charge and needed a minimum of 4 hours of charging. Upon charging the unit for more than 6 hours or so, the charging indicator still blinks red(when charging). i am able to play songs for the time-being but it seems the green light is totally conked out.
does anyone know of a repair shop of ipod shuffle in india. the apple dealer was saying its best to discard the shuffle when having problems like this since its best to go in for a new shuffle. i do have another shuffle that cant be repaired:(

Satellite L500D - What is that annoying red light on front Panel?

Hello there,
On my L500D I have the normal five system indicator lights on the front panel of the computer base, where they are supposed to be. But then, to the left of these lights there is this annoying red light that is very distracting.
But what is even +more+ annoying that not one, +not one+ owners manuals that I have read makes any mention of it, +not even a hint+. The owners manual mentions the other lights in their diagrams, +but not this one+. :-(
Now, I'm assuming that it is something really simple, and I am publicly displaying just how blind or dumb (or both) i really am. :-) But for the love all things Holy, and before I loose all my hair, can somebody tell me just what that red light is? ?:|
And, while you're at it, maybe you can tell me how to turn it off!! That would be very novel experience at the moment. B-)
Don't get me wrong, I really love my new L500D, my best investment by far, and it goes like the clappers, and I would write a wacky advert jingle about it and broadcast it across the world... if not for that annoying red light. ;-)
Please Help! (i)

Thanks a lot, guys!
I told you I was dumb, or blind. I fixed the problem. The annoying red light is now gone. Woohoo! :D But just for the record, I checked Jeka's link and found it meantioned and shown just as he said. But then I checked my owners manual again, the one on my HDD, and I am afraid that it is not mentioned anywhere, and if by some quirk of fate that it truely is there, then it must be very well hidden. None of the diagrams show it at all. Just my luck... :-(
Anyway. Thanks again, guys, my problem is solved. :p

IPhone keeps dying, not turning on, hot near ear speaker, red light glowing

After having used the iPhone 4 without problems since its release last month, I am now experiencing a bug since I've installed iOS 4.0.1. The symptoms are:
1. I can see a dim red light above the ear speaker after turning on the phone and even for a while (many seconds if not minutes) after locking it. I suspect that this red light is related to the proximity sensor.
2. The proximity sensor is not working any more, i.e. when I make a phone call and hold the phone to my head, the display stays on and the pad keeps sensing touches.
3. For the second time within two days, the phone doesn't turn on any more, i.e. it remains black on the screen, does not appear on USB (i.e. not seen in iTunes nor in System Profiler), and doesn't even respond to a hard reset (holding home and lock buttons for about 10 seconds), while the aforementioned red light keeps glowing, and the area there getting warm.
So far, the only way to get the phone back to being operational is to get it into DFU mode (which involves a more complex set of pressing buttons) and then restore it from a backup. Unfortunately, when I do this I lose all the pictures I've made since the last backup (already lost a few this way).
It appears that this problem is related to a wrongdoing of the proximity sensory unit. Funny though, that I had never any problems before the 4.0.1 update, whereas this update was supposed to fix a proximity sensor issue, wasn't it? For me, this update appears to rather have broken it.
I'll see that I can have this phone replaced by Apple soon, just though I'd record this odd behavior in case others see this happening, too.
If you have the same issue, please mention if it started only after the 4.0.1 update for you, too.

That little red light means the phone has water damage, did you drop it in water or something?
Um not, there isn't a "light" for water sensors, they are stickers that just change color from white to red/pink. No electricity about them. One in doc, one in headphone jack (not under earpiece).
He is seeing a sensor (it doesn't turn on and glow, just reflecting light and has always been there).

HT1567 I can't import an audio cd to itunes to add to my library. I ran a diagnostics test and it had a red light next to: Unable to access audio cd. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is an easy solution?

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

I've got a mac pro problem with the starting up, but also a red light on the logic board solidly on. Its not among the diagnostic led. It's located near the BT adapter and the front fans. Also the fans run loud also. any solutions?

Hi
I've got a mac pro late 2006, and i am having problem with it for quite a while now. the problem i am facing is the start up process, and the red light on the logic board. Earlier I've got the two led on the diagnostic leds 5 and 6 turned on without the diagnostic button being pressed, and i think those are related to the processors overtemp. I've managed to solve that by, removing the processors and re applying the thermal compound on the heatsink. what i have left now with is the red light on the logic board at the time i plugged in the power. At the same time when this light come on, the power indicator at the front panel come on as well. i am not sure what is this light relates to. We've replace the power supply too, and gone through the SMC reset but seems no help.
Any idea on the problem? I am desperate about it, and i will be greatful if anyone can help..
thanks and hope for your best solutions

I can't help directly with your problem but you might check here http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/macpro/ for a service manual which could answer your question.

No sound on my Macbook pro, red light.

My Macbook Pro won't play anything out loud, through the speakers, like when i have to watch a video or hear some music, i have to put my headphones in the Macbook, and then it can play the sound, but if i take them out, there are no sound and there is a red light where the headphones are supposed to be plugged in (The video or music continue playing, i just can't hear it).
I read something about "International speakers" and it's stuck on a speaker in settings, and to solve it, you just have to play some music with the headphones in the computer, and then take them out of the computer, while the music is playing, and then it should work - but it didn't work.
I've tried to turn off the macbook for a long time and then start it up, didn't work. I've tried to just normally restart it, didn't work either.
The problem just came suddenly, I didn't do anything specific before it happened, one day it just didn't work, which is about 3 weeks ago now.
My Macbook pro is 2 years old in May, and i've updated it with anything that IOS said i should.
Hope you guys know what i can do.

Try the following: I
nsert the earphone jack several times.
Blow real hard into the audio output port. Use compressed air if you have it.
Take a cocktail stirrer or a tooth pick and wiggle it inside the port.
The internal switch is stuck when you see the red light.
Ciao.

Displays red light for 20 seconds then goes out. nothing else happens. have tried charging it on the computer and all night in power point. wont show up in itunes or my computer

i bought my daughters ipod shuffle 4th gen last week for xmas. set them all up easily etc and wrapped them for xmas. kids opened them up for xmas played them most of the day so i thought i would charge them both overnight on the computer. pc went into sleep mode which i didnt realise wouldnt charge them. so in the morning they were flat so i charged them on the pc but 1 didnt seem to take any charge while the other worked perfectly. treid to charge it all night long last night using a power point charger and still this morning it displays the red light and wont show up in itunes or my computer. apple support havent rang me yet

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Xperia S does not turn on, red light when charging.

My phone, after spending a day on a boat, was low on battery (this was 2 hours after leaving on the drive home). It went from 6% battery to shutting down completely in a matter of seconds. I plugged it into my car charger immediately, but it has not turned on since. Previously i have had problems with the headphone jack not recognising if earphones were plugged in or not, but this usually resolved within a few minutes. On top of this i have once struggled to turn the phone on due to i believe a once off problem with the power button.
Recently the headphone jack has been playing up a lot more than usual, but it never resulted in this. I have never experienced any other problem with the phone. PROBLEM: Once it turned off, I have been unable to restart my phone. When charging it shows a dull red light like when charging less than 15% battery. I have charged it now, on and off using multiple different charges for 6 hours, and have left it on its original charger as i write this. The power button plus volume up has no effect. There is no vibrations when i turn on the device. The screen which usually loads something when charging, has not displayed anything since turning off. It does not connect to either an apple or windows computer with a usb cable, volume down key depressed or not. It does not get hot to touch while charging, and i remember according to AVG that the battery quality that day was "good". After 6 hours of charging, the red light is still there(and usually a full charge after 1.3 hours, leaves a green light) Put simply, the only responce of any kind i get from the phone is a red light when charging. What have i done? recharged the phone for 6 hours, tried power button, restart button combo, usb connection with both an apple and windows computer, i also put it in rice in case there was any water but did not change anything. anything changed? after 2 hours of charging on the wall, the red light disapeared... tried the above, nothing happened, unplugged the phone then replugged it in... red light. I will try to get it repaired shortly along with a broken PS3, but i would rather a solution, as both my work and social life heavily depend on it. thankyou in advance

If you have given it a good charge and still have no luck, I would advise running a software repair. This can be done with the phone powered off:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

My Curve won't turn on and no sign of flashing red light

Hi!
I m all new to this blackberry forum thing....anyway i have a blackberry curve and all of a sudden yesterday it just stopped working. when i looked at the phone the screen was all white so i took out the battery and put it back on thinking that it will come back up but it didnt. Then i took the battery out again and plugged it to the USB(without the battery) because ususally it comes back up, but it still didnt. i put the battery again and plugged it to the USB thinking that it needs to charge but still no since of that flashing red light. I took the battery out and put my friends battery (cos he has a curve too) but still it didnt work. I did try holding down the power (red)button still not back on.
I just dont understand whats wrong with it, its not like i dropped it in the water or dropped it on the floor. I didnt do anything to it. It just stopped working.
Im really frustrated right now...I just dont know what to do..i hope someone can help me
THanks!

I finally got my curve to work. I just left it on the charger for a while and then it powered up. It seems if its a little low on power and I don't charge it relatively soon it shuts down and won't power up for awhile. I've also updated the software and cleaned out the junk files. It seems to be working fine now, go figure.
