Hopefully very few people will need to use this thread and I have just been unlucky with my phone.
I have Omnia 7 from t-mobile in UK
When I first started to make calls the screen would go blank before I raised the phone to my ear. Even setting the phone down on a flat and level surface after getting the accelerometer to 'kick in' failed to allow any buttons or screen to activate.
This was causing me an issue when I phoned someone and got through to answerphone. I ended up leaving a three minute message of rubbish whilst trying in vain to get the screen to come back on. Resorting to restarting the device to get screen back!
After a day of this I decided enough was enough and I would find a solution.
It seems that my phone's proximity sensor was set far too low (a setting of 10 to be precise). I have now changed my proximity sensor to a value of 30 and when I dial I can see the screen and options, when I raise phone to my ear the screen blanks, and when I then move the phone to look at the screen it lights back up with all the options.
Here is how:
from the phone screen enter ##634# to enter the diagnostic mode
then enter *#0*# to enter a screen showing options for testing
touch the 'Proximity' option (bottom middle)
This displays the proximity test with a display for current value and a set and registered value buttons as well as exit. The colours in the box in the are red for not activated adn blue for activated.
Move your hand about three to four inches from the screen until you see a PROX SENSOR value of 30
Touch the SET option
Touch the OK option
The SET option will inverse in colour
WAIT - WAIT - WAIT
The phone will reboot and you will now have a phone that when you dial still displays the screen, when you raise to ear the screen blanks, and when removed from ear the screen returns.
interestingly I now have a Diagnostics option in my programs list too!
Heh, Thanks, I just set it too 10 again and i also got the icon in the menu, Got way to save typing ##634# everytime now
Thanks for sharing, a great help! I'm really glad to no longer have the blank screen during calls, as well as being able to do pocket-to-picture again.
Trying to do this on Diagnosis v.0628 but there is only an "Exit" button, not a "Set"...
Anybody know the deal with this?
Same here. No Set button.
They've removed it from Mango versions of Diagnosis I think. Why? God knows.
Is it possible to use old versions of Diagnosis? There's no way I'm flashing back to an old ROM.

Phone Screenlock as IPhone
Hi,
I have a Hermes, Niki phones
I miss a function found in IPhone "a sensor to lock the screen when you make an aproximity to the ear"
When you make a Phone call or Get incoming call and you move the phone near your ear, the Iphone screen get's dark so there is not unwanted "touch" of icons of the phone, Iphone has a proximity sensor check..
Right now I'm using an application "Phone Screen Lock fron palmarySoft" it works ok, but it's lock the screen just when the partner get's the call.. it's ok, but sometime there is enought time for unwanted touch with the "face" to an icon on the screen
Is there some other way to emulate a Iphone sensor (maybe with the front camera) or get the screen lock just after pushing the "green " button of the phone?
Any Idea??
Thanks!
Simple solution that I use (for lack of an automatic app that solves it for me):
As soon as I have dialed the number (or answer an incoming call), I briefly press the silver power on/off-button on the top of the Niki. That immediately blanks the screen and this way I can keep your ear to the phone without accidentally starting one or other application whilst I'm calling.

I use that, locks phone when in a call.

Thanks for your answer, As I sait I'm using "Phone Screen Lock fron palmarySoft" ..
But all this apps lock the screen ones you are in a call, but what happen when you place a call and you wait to the partner to pickup the phone??
Iosu
S2U2 has a function to switch off the screen during calls - plus the slide 2 unlock feature of the iPhone

EDIT:
Most of the problems in this post is SOLVED!
I have had my P3470 one day now, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's very quick in response, way more than my Qtek8310, which have the same CPU.
But, is it possible to get the kind of HOME where you have a "button" for changing profile?
Like this: (pic from a norwegian cruise)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I even change profiles on a original P3470? I havn't found anywhere to change the tone-volume.
And, is it possible to get a keyboard like this: (from cruise)
I'll rather have this, cuz my P3470 qwerty-keyboard doesn't have a question mark! The cruize-qwerty seems to have more buttons when pressing shift.
And one more thing, in the quick-start menu, the one on the home-screen where you can have shortcuts to apps, why cant i have shortcuts to a contact, if i want to call that contact much, this would be very time saving.
I would also like to have some hints about a working reg-editor... cant get resco to work, and not PHM.
EDIT:
ALL, but the contacts on shortcuts-menu, SOLVED!
For adding contacts in the home screen you have to press the icon of the person (the pic with the little head and shoulders) and then press on one of the squares with the plus sign in it. Easy as pie! for removing contacts press on the square with the "x" in a circle and then tap on the square with the contact you want to remove.
enjoy!
Tone Volume Adjust
To adjust tone volume, U can just use 'volume button' on the left side. Push either of them => two vertical bars appear on screen. <note this have to do when you not on call>
- Left vertical bar on screen for key-tone, music...and others.
- Right vertical bar for Ring tone
Old problems gone, new problems are here! Weee...
When I get a new SMS, the phone beeps, and the phone unlocks. Why? Who in the name of someone thought that was a good idea?
Can I do something to make it be locked, even if I get a message?
same happens if you get a call.
the phone unlocks sofar that you can reply. so if you get a call when phone is locked screen goes on and you can react... but when you hang up the phone is locked again
easy as pie, cant believe you didnt notice that.
Yes, calls are OK. But when i get a SMS, i want it so that the phone is locked until I press the power-button. It is often I cannot read the SMS when I recieve it. But when I get a sms my phone is living in my pocket, because it ulocks.

I got a problem -- i'm not sure if this is a bug, but I cannot access any buttons on the screen when I call out
-- I cannot enable speaker
-- I cannot enable mute
-- I cannot add call
-- I cannot put the call on hold
-- I cannot hit the buttons under keypad and end call or any of those keys, the screen is literally unresponsive, I have to press the physical button to hang up.
I'm not sure what's going on. this is one of L26's older roms, I think I downloaded this rom on 2/18
If anyone has an answer please let me know, I would like to have these re-enabled. the screen doesn't respond to any of the presses.
if I slide around the end call or keypad I kinda get a response, but it's seldom.
Everything else is working great.

I got the same bug after flashing a new ROM. But I could solve it by disabling the "tap time" setting in BsB tweaks in my case. If you are using the above tool, try the above suggestion. Good Luck!
thanks,
I think I found another way around it
if you slide your fingers across the buttons it works, dunno if it was intentional, but it's annoying
I think your using L26's V1.2 CAB (brilliant, btw - still using it).
I recall picking up "L26 Lockscreenfix.cab" in an attempt to prevent my ear conferencing in friends whilst talking using the capacitive screen before I found the wonderful S2U2 application. I think that the L26 Lockscreenfix does exactly what you described. I don't recall if it's uninstallable but look at your installed programs list and see if it's listed.
Good luck. Tom
My phone is stock 4.4.2 with recent updates and not rooted. No issues at all just few small issues.
1) This is a weird one, if I play a video and sometime after closing video player the screen becomes like high sharpness, the white color in the screen increases. Its hard to notice but it does. But after turning off the screen and turn on again it became normal. Also I tried taking screenshot of both condition but all looks normal in that, only visually I can see that. Anyone see this issue ever?
2) Skype is very important for me for work and in its setting > Notification > I checked Vibration but it never does. Its notification sound cant change also its very low to hear outside. Please advice.
3) Spen: I dont know if its usual for everyone as I didnt tried any other Note 3 but in my phone the Spen is not responsive mostly at the screen edges. Suppose drawing a line it ends before the screen edge and mostly same all sides. I’ve a screen protector but that is not a thicker one. Its very thin so I doubt if the screen protector could cause this.
1- I notice that all the time ur not the only one
2- try clearing the skype data and reinstall it.
3- no problems with spen on my phone. I have a pretty thick screen protector on it as well. I didnt understand by unresponsive if u meant dead spots or just slower to draw but either way no problems on my handset.
Cheers!

Thanks for your feedback.
1) Its good to know I’m not alone, and probably a OS fault. Hope on next update this will be fixed.
2) I don’t want to clear skype data as I don’t want to lose chat histories. Somewhere I read this will require to enable Vibration 1st on setting and then it will work. But I have already enabled vib for call. Don’t know if there have any other option in setting to enable vibration.
3) By unresponsive I mean it works flawlessly but I’ve to press it little hard on the screen to write properly. With firm writing or light gentle pressure if draw a straight line across the screen it creates a line like this ------------- gap ------------- gap ------------------------
Also it was not working on a particular spot (attached image) but today I found it was due to the flip cover magnet. If I keep the magnet away it works perfectly.

Hello! I REALLY need your help! I have an asus a002a, worked fine, but the battery started to die with age. Today I found out in the evening that he sat down to 0, but I had to go outside and I left him like that, came home after 20 minutes, put him on charge. I turn it on, and it shows me the picture "Launching Android", which I have not seen before (picture for spoiler # 1). Then I look, and the notification curtain has become very small and does not unfold as before (spoiler # 2) ... do not change the brightness, etc.. I also look, the date and time have gone wrong .... system settings and it asked me again enable the checkbox to allow installation of packages from an external source. Then ... THE BUTTONS Home and Browse open applications DO NOT WORK, only the back button (the home button and applications work, they glow when I press it, but the return and review functions do not work) .... I DECIDED TO GO TO THE SETTINGS FOR DEVELOPERS ... and what do you think??? It writes to me: This user has no developer options (spoiler #3) I'm Awesome! I thought maybe I have some kind of safe mode.. restarted through the recovery in normal mode... nothing has changed... The "zenui system interface or whatever it is" disappeared from the list of applications ... downloaded a new one installed the same version from the Internet (I wrote it down a long time ago) ... nothing has changed .. I have NO KNOW what happened ... but it’s obvious that the bodies sat down so much that they didn’t receive power and reset all settings ...! There is an assumption that after the reset he should have shown the phone settings program (I read on xda that if you reset the bodies it asks in this screen to connect to wifi, but this model a002a wifi only works in the usa (above you can read how I hopelessly tried to solve this problem in this topic) ) And in general I have a suspicion that it should have shown this settings window and blocked the exit keys so that the program could not be exited and did not give full access ... but I turned off all the standard verizon applications because they worked in the background and ate the battery ...: unsure: And now it can't show the window and unlock the bodies, but this is just my meager guess ... I really need your advice and help .. how to return access to the developer tools, make the buttons work and return the normal curtain? I'm very sad....
