i realize i am late to this party, but i just discovered this little speck of an eye on my G2 today while sitting in the sunlight on a break. whaaaa????!!! surprise surprise! so i was curious too. so it is absolutely determined this is a light sensor (perhaps for the "auto" brightness feature?) and NOT a camera?
Any insight into the actual use of this hardware? As I said, my best guess is to sense the auto-brightness feature (if enabled in display) to brighten or dim the screen in different light settings. Otherwise, how can I use or control this hardware?
Anyone know of any apps or ROMS that offer control over this hardware?
Thanks!
