https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/random-red-flashing-light/m-p/3502386#M545534 Every now and again a light at the top of my phone flashes red really quickly. It's just to the left of the light that tells me if my phones charging/charged, and I have no idea what it means. At first, it flashed when I had a call, and if I moved my phone away from my face while i took the call, it would flash and my phone would light up. If I covered it with my finger, my screen would turn off, so I just assumed it was a sort of sensor so your screen would go black if you put your face to your phon during calls.<BR /><BR />However, I've noticed that it just flashes at random times now. When I looked this up, a lot of articles about issues with batteries came up, and I honestly had no idea if it was linked to that. Another point is that my phone overheats very easily, either if I have my phone in my bag, or if I put it on charge or use an app that uses a lot of battery. I don't know if it's linked to this, or what it means in general. Any help? I'm not sure if I should be worried or not Fri, 24 Jun 2016 00:35:30 GMT 9272 2016-06-24T00:35:30Z https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/random-red-flashing-light/m-p/3502386#M545534 Every now and again a light at the top of my phone flashes red really quickly.
