Hey guys.
Its starting to bug me more and more that sometimes the proximity sensor on the HD2 when in call mode it does not shut the screen off.
this means that i some how have managed to enter the mode to switch my phone on to flight mode mid conversation.
i notice it happens more when the battery is getting low (less than 15%).
its an issue as when i am talking to customers, i end up speaking to myself for a few seconds before i realise my phone has turned itself in to flight mode
has anyone else had this problem ?
proximity sensor when receiving calls
Hi adam
I have been having the same problem, when i make a call the screen goes off, but when i receive a call it stays on. I have tried putting my finger over the proximity sensor but this doesn't make any difference. Its starting to piss me off having to close everything that has been opened by my ear while on the phone.
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution for this.
Hi, I have that problem randomly both when reciveing and making calls. The workaround I do is when making a call I press dial and the put it in speaker mode until I can hear ring tones then I switch back from speaker mode. This works everytime. I would, of course, like to have it working as it should but for now....

Last time I had the problem turning the phone upside down and back helped. G-sensor seemed to affect screen blanking. But I didn't have the problem for some time.
Well I had the problem today, but I dropped the call unintentionally before I noticed, so I could not check this theory.
hi,
for me the sensor stops working when the phone application is in landscape mode, because i hold the phone more like landscape then protrait. so after i figured this out i make sure to hold the phone in protrait bevore moving it to my ear, since then the proximite sensor is working fine for me.

Hi guys,
before i goto sleep i usually call my partner, i plug the hands free in and speak away.
But the screen likes to randomly turn on and off, i believe it has to do something with the automatically on when not next to your ears...
Now this is great, but id rather not waste unnessecary battery life whilst chatting away...
Is there any sort of "tweak" for this?
You're probably right. Your room with the lights out is probably playing tricks with your proximity sensor. My suggestion is to not apply any tweaks to disable the sensor because it is actually really useful. Next time you call with your headset, just manually press the power button to turn off the screen. This way your proximity sensor won't be able to tell your screen to turn on no matter what.
I got a question. When you're talking on the phone, does your screen goes off in 10 seconds, then 2 seconds later, the screen turns back on, then turns off in 10 seconds, and keeps going..
Cuz while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth, I just happen to noticed this and even using my finger to hide the proximity sensor, it does the same thing.
[EDIT] When I'm on a call and then hit the home button to get to the main screen (still on call), then it turns off like normal and it won't turn itself on. But for some reason, in the "Call Window" it just repeatedly goes off and on.. Hmmm
Problem 2: When I'm on a call, and have my phone in my pocket, when someone phones me, my leg would help me 'accept' the call. I did a test. When I'm on a call and block the proximity sensor, the screen locks up (which is fine) but when someone phones in (call waiting), the screen is accessible again even though the proximity server is still covered. This makes it so that it would still accidently accept the call when someone phones in while still in pocket.
Can anyone try it and see if it does it on your phone?
Yes mine does that. It sucks because frequently, I will hit the hang up button with my cheek. Annoying.
I hope they fix this asap...
its very annoying, mine does the same thing
Hi,
I realised that sometimes when I am talking on the phone I could accidentally disconnect a call with my cheek. I know there is supposed to be a proximity sensor thing preventing it from happening. But still it happens now & then. Is there any apps to lock the screen while on call? or a sliding "OFF" button? So the call won't get disconnected that easily with a touch while on call?

also looking for something like this.
While in a call, press the home button or the power button. That will prevent you from hanging up.

First check you have all the latest software updates. If it is still a problem send it back (if its under warranty)!!
The proximity sensor is meant to turn the screen off when the phone is by your face and this deactivates any buttons that could be pressed. When you remove the phone from your ear the screen should automatically turn back on. If the screen is on when its next to your ear there is something wrong. You should not have to use an app or press anything so I suggest getting in contact with HTC asap.
what is HD2' file of controlling Proximity sensor,Can u tell me the detail ?tks in abvance==
My English is very bad,Many do not understand
I also have problem...
Hello, I would also like to know the answer to this or if someone knows how to disable the proximity sensor
I have problem with the latest builds, currently I am using BOYPPC_SHIFTPDA Ginger.S. Almost everytime I start dialing the screen goes black and the phone locks. I can finish the call but the phone remains locked - black screen with the buttons light on.
I manage to wake it by calling myself from another phone and and sending busytone or by pluging in USB.
I managed to be able to wake the phone up with a program called Sanity. But I still cannot wake the phone during the call, for example to send DTMF tone.
This seems to be connected with the proximity sensor. When I check the status it isn't giving any values, or sometime gives some random values. I think it isn't broken because sometimes it works well.
I haven't had this problem with MIUI builds.
So probably removing the proximity sensor drivers would solve it
also have the same problem. Ending a call makes my phone keep its screen turned off... Until i find a lamp wehere i can holde the sensor under it so that it turns on the screen again.
I'd just like to have an option so that the screen doesn't turn off in a call. I mean it must be possible to deactivate the sensor...
Just press the middle button - the win flag button - and the screen goes on again.
not easy as that the phone doesn't react at all. Hardware keys lighten up but screen stays black. Looks funny when you search for a bright light source just to use your phone again after a phone call .
On all the noughat roms i've used i'm having an issue with the proximity sensor.
The problem is, whenever I call someone or pick up a call the screen goes black.
I changes the settings so that pressing the power button cuts the call, but i can't put the call on speaker cause i can never see the caller screen, because of this problem.
Please help.
Thanks.
Also i'd like to mention that I've tried the method in which you push a reconciled apk through ADB. This method used to work, but that stopped working.
