Red light left of front speaker

Today i got my IPhone 5...
and there's a little red light on the left of the front speaker. It's always lit when the display is on. After pressing the Power Button its off.
When you press again and the display is on, its lit again. I think its a red light from the sensor that switches the display off when hold the phone on the ear.
Is that normal? The Sensor is working normal, but theres always this red light.

You might find this is related to the "Raise to Speak" feature for Siri.
If enabled, and the phone screen is on, at any time, you can raise your phone to your ear to activate Siri. The proximity sensor is on all the time to enable this feature.
Check your settings for Siri and see if that makes a difference.

HT4528 Why is there a little red light next to my speaker in the front by the camera ?

You see a red light , you see it a lot more in the dark and it fades and comes back and it's right but the speaker underneath the camera in the front .

Connection issue is not problem of backlight (I had opened my macbook, and cables looks good, I think there is a problem with sensor which turn on/off backlight)

HELP what is this little red light on the front of my phone?

I know about the 3 sensors on the front of the phone on the top near the ear piece, and the one on the bottom on the right keeps showing a red light. It looks like a small red "C" with a little dot in it. When ever the phone becomes active the light comes on, and stays on for about 10 seconds after locking.
I just today affixed a new screen protector (invisible shield) and just now noticed it happening for the first time. I do work in a dimly lit room but never had this happen before.
What does this light mean and how do I stop it?

Could be a sensor. Or light leaking into the sensor from the screen

Desktop Computer dc5750 shuts down and red light flashes on front of computer and won't start at all

I have a DC5750 HP Compaq Computer it is 6 years old, but I have 4GB Ram, Nvidia GS8400 Graphics Card, two one TB Hard Drives. While I tried to re-installed my operating systems it all of a sudden shut down not once but twice, I opened up the side of the computer and found that it was hotter then normal. I let it sit for a while thinking it maybe over heating after hooking it back up I turned it on again nothing happened except a beeping noise and red lights flashing on the front. Can this be fixed as money is an issue.
Thanks
Rob

Red light appears over my iphone speaker when charging.

i accidentally washed my phone. So i decided to do the rice treatment.and now when i put it on the charger a red light appears over my speaker. Also when i try to hard reset my phone the red light just flashes.Then after a while the light just goes away.

That's the proximity sensor. It's not supposed to do that.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. it's no longer safe to use it.

What does a red light near front camera signify?

My iPhone shows a tiny red light near its front camera, what does it mean when its on?

The red light is the digital in light, that is how it reads the headphone jack. The reason the sound doesn't work is because a switch to turn the speakers back on is stuck (note that if you boot the computer, you will hear the startup tone).
There are several ways to fix this...
Some have found that putting the headphone plug in and out several times (maybe twisting it a little) will work.
Others have used a toothpick to adjust the switch (I don't advise this because the toothpick may break).
Instead of a toothpick, many have used a paperclip (probably best to use an insulated one). I couldn't get this to work, but I would suggest straightening, folding in half, then twisting the paperclip and moving it around in the port.
You can also use a sewing pen/needle.
I have seen all of these methods online, but they didn't work for me. I took a que from this instrucable and cleaned my jack with a dry q-tip. I then cut off most of the end and turned it around inside the port. This worked, but after I put the headphones back in the same problem came up, I just did the same procedure again and it worked again (even after I plugged the headphones back in and took them out).
PS: I woud suggest putting some q-tips and possibly some scissors in your MacBook bag in case the problem arises on the move.

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).

Red light next to secondary cam in C7

Hello! The other day I found a red light in the front of my C7, almost next to the secondary camera. Tried to find sth about it in the users guide, but nothing, just a picture showing the cam but not the other two "holes" (the left one being a red lignt sometimes). As I don't know what's for, I can't know if the red light was ok or there was a problem. Thanks for your help.
Regards,

I suppose we are talking about proximity censor or ambient light sensor next to it. No need to worry.

Flashing screen and little red light

I have an 8gb iPhone that has a small red light on by the speaker also the screen flashes on every minute or so and this seams to be draining the batery anyone got any ideas why and what to do about it???

Since your iPhone is 8 GB it cannot be a 3GS model (they are all 16 or 32 GB). You may want to post this at the Original iPhone forum
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1273
or the 3G forum
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1274
depending on which you have.
BTW .. I'm not aware of the "red light" you mention and it isn't clear where you are seeing it -- at the bottom of the phone where the speaker is or at the top of the front where you put your ear.
I do wonder if the "red light" is the moisture indicator I've heard (but not seen) is on the bottom near the connector. If your iPhone has gotten wet, that could be your problem. But this is total speculation.
Later: Some discussion of the moisture sensors here

Flashing Red Light Quit Working

My flashing red light on the front of my 8350i has stopped working. You know, the one to notify you you've missed a call or have an unread email, etc. I've only had it about 2 weeks & was working fine until Friday. It quit working so I took the battery out & put it back in - nothing. Tried again on Saturday morning when it still wasn't working & it started working again...for a while. Now it's not working again. Haven't called tech support yet - anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have set in the Profiles for your active profile "LED notifications" to ON?
Does your signal coverage indicator blink green? Options > Screen/keyboard.

Dual-Core G5 won't boot. Flashing Red Light.

Hey Guys, I've got a 2Ghz Dual-Core G5. It's stock other than 2gigs of ram and a SATA Seagate Barracuda in the second drive bay.
Every now and then (on a fairly regular basis) I'll try to boot up the computer, I do hear the fans going but the drives don't spin up as usual, there is no chime and I get a red light behind the front panel of the G5 flashing. It flashes 7 times. After the 7 flashes it just sits there and after about a minute the fans go into airplane taking off mode.
I've been on the phone with AppleCare twice. A PMU reset did (possibly coincidentally) bring the computer back once or twice but has proven ineffective since. Typically I can either try booting the computer 30 times and it eventually works or I'll just leave it alone for a couple hours and it will boot up when I try again.
Resetting the PRAM doesn't work nor does holding option on boot up. This says (at least) to me that the computer doesn't get far enough to even look at the OS, the fault seems to be a hardware issue. The keyboard and mouse never get buss power.
Anyway, as I said it'll usually work eventually but I haven't been able to get the G5 to boot at all for the past 5 hours. Anyone had any similar experience? At this point I'm thinking bad logic board? Any opinions?
Thanks!

Hi, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
Presumably it is one of the red LEDs shown here that is flashing
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302527
The symptoms possibly don't qualify for this - but maybe with some persuasion...

You could try the Apple Hardware Test

or TechTool

Presumably AppleCare suggested you take it in to the shop...?

Red light to the left of the receiver of the iPhone 5

I had my iPhone 5 replaced at the weekend for a speaker issue, but I noticed today when using the replacement in a dark room, I can see a glowing red light to the left of the receiver. I did a search, of course, which brought up results concerning the iPhone 4 and that it's the proximity sensor and not something to worry about. But I also saw this "eHow" article that says it's because the phone's been exposed to water:
http://www.ehow.com/info_8704998_red-light-iphone-mean.html
Earlier today I was using the phone when it started raining, so I quickly wiped it against my sweater and put it in my inside jacket pocket. I didn't think that would be enough to cause any damage to the phone and the phone is working fine, but now I'm a bit worried, having not noticed the light before.
Is the eHow article wrong or do I have a reason to be worried?
Thanks in advance for any help.

That's one of the most absurd things I've ever read...the light is part of the proximity sensor. The sensor is an infrared light that can appear red when viewed through the front glass in a very specific way in the dark (the glass distorts the infrared light enough to make it very weakly visible). This is totally normal and nothing to worry about. The water sensors are round white stickers in certain locations on and in the iPhone. When they get wet they turn red and do NOT turn back. The sensors wouldn't be very useful if they changed back when the phone dried...

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
Kari

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.
