Proximity sensor seen in action under iOS 4.1?

Check it out. Haven't seen this with iOS 4.02, so guessing Apple's solution to the bug is to crank the sensor to 11.

Yeah, I noticed that. The video doesn't really show it well, as you can always see infrared with a camera. The sensor is visible to the human eye now

You definitely cant see my sensor glowing red like that on my iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1. Thats a pretty weird video..

I'll be the first one to ask.

Is there anyway to be able to hack the sensor to use it as a notification light?

Even with 4.1's intensity and in the dark it REALLY wouldn't be bright enough - it's not even close.

Yeah, but there's no other way to demonstrate it. Note, however, the side by side with the 3GS you can't see the sensor. So as a relative reference, the iPhone 4 appears significantly stronger.
