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.
