(Tip) Disable proximity sensor - HTC Aria General

When my wife got the Aria a couple of months ago, she loved it, and I figured I had finally brought her successfully into the age of smartphones. Now, she HATES it. The reason: The awful proximity sensor, that keeps turning the screen on while she's on the phone, resulting in her cheek hanging up the phone, or making calls while she's on a call.
I actually said to her "Just don't hold the phone that way", before laughing about making an iPhone 4 reference.
There has to be an app to disable the sensor, or configure it differently. I want her to love her phone and get back to playing Angry Birds.

Does your wife hold the phone in an unconventional way? I've never had any problems with the proximity sensor activating when the phone is placed to my cheek.
I hold my phone in my left hand with the speaker pressed close to my ear (the proximity sensor is in the top right corner of the phone) with the microphone end pulled ever so slightly from my cheek. If I want to check your phone, pull your phone from your ear horizontally from pull it down to view the screen.
As for settings, I would try this one:
Go to Settings > Call Settings > Always use Proximity and UNCHECK this option. I feel like this gives better results in regards to the sensor.
*Please note this setting is found under Cyanogenmod 7, and I'm not clear if this is found under the standard HTC Sense ROM.

Note:
Make your wife try hitting the LOCK button as soon she dials her number and hits talk. This should lock your screen and disable the proximity. (Again, im running Cyanogenmod 7 so i dont know if this is true for HTC Sense)

She holds it in the normal way, but since the sensor is on the top right, far from the speaker, and she has a tiny ear, she'd have to hold it in an unusual way to make it work.

Do you mean the power button? In that case, it definitely doesn't work in the stock ROM. I'm glad to know there's a setting in Cyanogenmod, so worst case I'll flash that. I didn't want to get her involved with flashing, since it isn't wife-friendly, but the poor proximity sensor placement, combined with the just stupid move of the Android devs assuming no one would need such a simple feature, isn't wife-friendly either, so I might as well.
I don't understand how on a phone this small, you don't immediately assume that you will have users smaller than average, and assume smaller ears. The sensor on my Rhodium is WAY closer to the center line, and it's more suited to bigger people.

I experience the same damn thing as well - it's annoying!!
I mostly have an issue with hitting the "Hold" button. What I did to fix this was to make the phone "left-handed" which moved the "Hold" button to the right-side and it seems I'm less likely to cheek-press it anymore.
This doesn't solve the issue with hitting the End Call button though. The funny thing is, is that it's hard to replicate too! I can literally hold the phone like 1cm away from my head and the screen won't come on - but once in a blue moon I will slightly adjust the phone on my ear while walking/driving and BAM - CALL ENDED! FRACKING ANNOYING!!!!

I have the opposite problem. I can't gang up without a fight to wake the phone up.

Would love it... but... it wasn't uploaded supporting the Aria's screen size, so it doesn't show in the Android Market for her. Any way to force it to install and run, or to recompile it for this screen?

I have replaced my screen and I have the problem where it will not wake unless I remove the battery :/. Tried this and it unfortunately does not disable the sensor, it only supposedly gives you "control" over it.

system/etc/init.d contains files that contain scripts.
Do I add

Also, before I do this, can anyone confirm that this script won't brick my phone but will do as mentioned - turn off the proximity sensor?
Thanks.

you need root and s-off for do this, and maybe custom recovery. read forum to know how to edit system partition on your phone. i can't write step-by-step manual becouse i don't speak in english =(

Sombody in the know this would be a sought after task.
I, like fmac, would appreciate if someone could give a step by step of how this procedure is done. I'm an Android user but HTC's are a little more touchy then what I'm used to. Rooting is not an issue for me, but whomever writes this up, may want to supply a link on that step for the folks just coming here for the first time. ARIAs have been out for a while and this problems fix is probably going to be heavily sought after.

problem with rotation

im having an issue with rotation. for some reason opera will only rotate from portrati to landscape sometimes.
i installed gyrator2 and on the black screen it also doesnt seem to pickup the difference between portrait and landscape.
i have calibrated and it says successful, i also know the sensors are working as i can play the ball sensor game fine.
any help appreciated.
Im having the same problem sometimes.
i have not installed Gyrator yet.
im not sure why the levels game works but gyrator doesnt seem to see the settings, is anyone else having this issue? im reluctant to get a replacement as the balance game shows it working fine.
Sometimes mine wont rotate but that is due to the phone being more flat than stood up when i rotate it.
Also i think that if the processor is doing something at the time, like booting up Opera, it doesnt pick up the change in rotation and stays in landscape.
Try it when Opera has fully loaded and make sure the phone is not flat and see if that helps.
that doesnt help, gyrator does not even register a change, it just says undeterminable or 'face up'. seems to register face down but not portrait or landscape.
I sometimes have to give my HD a gentle tap to remind it to switch
It's kinda cute really - turn it round, nothing happens, give it a little nudge to wake it up LOL

Oh, the oddness. My phone registers everything except face down!! Meaning, it won't mute when I place it face down (have the option activated in the registry). So strange. This probably goes a way in explaining why some people couldn't get the face down to work, but that doesn't help, what would help is to know how the heck different phones register different gyrometer activity.
Probably because of all the different calibration tools out there, because honestly, I hadn't tried the face down thing before installing and using stuff like GRemote, Gyrator, GController, etc.

Total Rotation... (hack/app request)

Any devs out there wanna give this a go?
I would love to be able to rotate my phone in any direction and have the screen flip like on my omnia... I know sense doesn't flip to landscape, thats not a prob, what I really want is to be able to flip the phone upside down and still use it as the correct rotation.
Reason I want to be able to do this is so I can use my phone in the cup holder of my car again, and to do this it must be upside down because of the charger placement... (same as on my Omnia)
Seems a pretty simple request, would be nice if it could auto run and run in the background without using up to much resources to.
If anyone is able to do this, would be awesome.
Thanks
Seconded ... but
I too would like to be able to rotate at least the other way; when showing off the Incredible, people rotate to landscape the other way and nothing happens, so they figure it doesn't rotate. I have to say "no turn it the other way" but it would be great to just not have to think about it.
BUT ... regarding the OP ... I simply took a dremel to the dash mount I bought (the beanbag, since California law doesn't allow sticking to the window in the middle). Carved out enough for a charger, and am done with it
I'd also like to see this. Anyone know the reasoning behind only allowing landscape mode by rotating to the left, and not the right? Even my old BB storm could handle rotation in both directions.
Agreed. This would be useful.

I would think it's because the majority of the world is right-handed and by rotating to the left, the optical track button is on the right side. I could complain because I'm left-handed, but hey at least my phone still has a signal when I hold it in my left hand, unlike other phones out there
This is an option in the cyanogen rom available in the rom manager. If you can look past the few bugs in the rom you can enjoy the 360 degree rotation you are looking for.

Tired of Pressing the Power Button!!!

Yea, so ive brought this up before and i see the power button still being the first mechanical button to break over time. Mainly because you have to press it constantly just to use the phone or wake the phone up to use.
So heres some ideas, correct me or critique them, and reply if theres already good alternatives/apps out there.
I know some of these ideas can drain the battery, but work with me on this...
- When an sms/mms is received i want the screen to auto turn on. Windows mobile did this from what i remember and it was a novelty.
- Be able to turn the screen on by swiping one or two of the lower capacitive buttons instead of pressing the power button.
- Have the screen dim to its lowest setting instead of fully turning off. (dunno how battery draining this can be) Windows mobile did this as well.
- Have an app monitor the motion sensor in the phone to where if you pick the phone up from a flat surface (horiz position) the screen auto turns on.. and maybe an extra option of having the screen turn on if theres a shake or jostle (of course you could adjust the sensitivity). But having this app running in the background all the time could be draining. I mean shiii.. the phone knows when youre in call and if your phone is up to your head so why cant we have that feature to turn on the screen instead of using the power button.
I would pay good money for someone to develop this. An all in one app that includes all those options. I'll do the graphic work if need be.
Most of that seems a little out there and un-doable, but I do know that Handcent has an option to turn on your phone when a sms/mms is received with a small box in the center of the screen for a quick reply. Hope that helps a little.
^^^ beat me to it.
if you use smspopup or handcent, they both have option for the screen to come on when you get a new text message.
they also popup a box to read the message and have the option to quick reply or go to the messaging app. you can turn this off tho and just have the screen wake up for any where from 10 seconds to like 5 minutes.

How so? Phone turns quiet when picked up im sure it can be set to turn on when picked up. SMS as someone mentioned, handcent does. Apparently "screebl" does the screen turn on, testing now.
you can use an app called no lock that will allow you to use the volume buttons to wake the phone, i don't think that you'll be able to wake by using that capacitive buttons - this would essentially mean that your phone would never sleep.
and I'm almost positive that you can set up a profile in tasker to take care of the dimming instead of turning off the screen. In fact, you could probably set up most, if not all of these through various tasker profiles.
Not to mention how much battery it would waste polling the accelerometer to see if it's been moved.

actually those are all things that seem pretty mainstream from an OS derived from the most robust OS out there [linux]. Yes, those can all be done on android. Unfortunately there is a lack of programmers ... Especially to something that probably wont appeal to the ones we do have...
Also some kernel modifications will be necessary...
Im sorry i cant do this for you... If i could I would... Just because our phones can... and a couple of those things should already be with us...
Someone help us!!
Coming from the iphone. I loved the look of the evo... but I now miss the home button for this exact reason. Lol
The swiping of the captive keys sounds great. I doubt its doable though..
EDIT: ok, screebl is cool. And eliminates the need to press the power to put it to sleep... but it doesn't wake it up when picked up, so it solves half the problem.
...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
interesting suggestions so far.
i'd rather keep the default stock sms app rather than delving into something 3rd party.
i'll try the handcent, but doubt i keep it long..

[DEV] Working HTC touchscreen driver fix for ICS, no porting necessary

Alright. Well. This is interesting.
I've fixed the original HTC touchscreen driver for use in ICS. I'm assuming it will work on other HTC phones as well, since the fix is FAR less intrusive in terms of changing existing code, or trying to port other drivers.
I was working on trying to map out the Samsung and HTC drivers in terms of data they let the system see as they are running. Getting no where fast, I remembered a couple days ago when I was attempting to get the touch keys working with the Samsung driver. Originally, I had added this code to the mxt224 driver above the line 'set_bit(EV_ABS, ts->input_dev->evbit);':
added to mxt224.c
Code:
set_bit(EV_SYN, ts->input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(EV_KEY, ts->input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(BTN_TOUCH, ts->input_dev->keybit);
set_bit(BTN_2, ts->input_dev->keybit);
I assumed this may have something to do with the softkeys, since it was present in the HTC driver with all four lines. By this I mean that in the HTC driver, that section looked like this:
atmel.c
Code:
set_bit(EV_SYN, ts->input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(EV_KEY, ts->input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(BTN_TOUCH, ts->input_dev->keybit);
set_bit(BTN_2, ts->input_dev->keybit);
set_bit(EV_ABS, ts->input_dev->evbit);
It worked fine in CM7 after doing this, but I lost all touchscreen in ICS, with it not even registering touch data anymore.
Back to my main point, I decided to see what would happen if I totally removed those four lines from the atmel.c file (HTC driver) and see what happens in ICS. Long story short, it works. Apparently ICS doesn't use or absolutely hates one or all four of those input preprocessors. So yeah I kinda **** bricks that it was that simple.
I'm going to try to see if its one or just all of these keybits that's causing the problem and I'll report back.
Instructions
If you want to try this, follow along:
Get rid of build settings for the Samsung driver if you've been messing with that
open up our favorite driver driver/input/touchscreen/atmel.c
CRTL+F, search for EV_SYN
Comment or delete all of the set_bit() lines except for the last one, EV_ABS
Your atmel.c should only have this line now, where all five were before:
Code:
set_bit(EV_ABS, ts->input_dev->evbit);
Clean your make environment and make sure your config files are set to use atmel-touchscreen
**** bricks
so it should look like:
Code:
ts->input_dev->name = "atmel-touchscreen";
// set_bit(EV_SYN, ts->input_dev->evbit);
// set_bit(EV_KEY, ts->input_dev->evbit);
// set_bit(BTN_TOUCH, ts->input_dev->keybit);
// set_bit(BTN_2, ts->input_dev->keybit);
set_bit(EV_ABS, ts->input_dev->evbit);
?

Yeah try that. I've run into something though, which must be something stupid I'm doing but I can't figure out what the hell it is.
I've gone through each of those that I commented out to see if it was just one of the set_bits that was making it not work. But even with them all on now it's still working in ICS. I've cleaned my builds between each time. I think I'm going crazy! Because it didn't work before!

Quick question, does your pointer in ICS seem to go back up to the top left hand corner of the screen? Or aren't you in pointer mode?
for me it does!!
but I still can't unlock the F screen...

Awesome! Glad I'm not crazy and this works. They must have deprecated some of the input preprocessors. I'm just surprised using them in the driver basically made the touchscreen inoperable in ICS.
One step closer...to something! Now to figure out those pesky idc files to get this to work without the pointers.
maybe better to focus on Paul's dump.. could be different regarding TS

Trying to haha filesonic is only letting me get one file at a time *sigh*
I already downloaded those.. I have a paid acount for filesonic
I posted this in DHD thread also:
my Touchscreen works, but it doesn't unlock anything... I mean, I pull the ring to unlock icon, it vibrates and it doesn't change screen..
so I unlock screen with adb shell, and when it gets unlocked I'm welcomed with SystemUi FC.. and every time like that.. if I turn off screen and back ON after trying to unlock screen, my touches are not working.. it must be because systemui already crashed... but it doesn't show it..

With the fix from here for the driver? Or without anything?
with your fix here
Awesome! Now if only I could find someone to reverse engineer the 3D camera and Gallery for the HTC Evo 3D, I would be fat from all the Ice Cream Goodness I would be devouring! Good job guys

Can we not do that? That's how things get sloppy. Just donate it to swm, he deserves it.

[Q] Turning off the Proximity sensor

Is there anyway to turn off the Proximity sensor? My Nexus 4 is having an issue when ever I get a call the screen just turns black and not back on. I was wondering if there is any sort of edit in the prop files that can be edited or what not.
OK nevermind I tried smart screen and was able to manually control my screen from shutting off. If a mod wants to delete this thread go ahead.

Before closing the thread (or deleting it), could you share the exact app name with us (and its developer) in order to get the right one ?
there are a lot of apps with this exact same name. Thanks

Here is a link to said app. The app is called Smart Screen by Novum Inceptum Development
If you are facing problems with proximity sensor after screen assembly replacement just read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50523785 and you will get a working sensor again.
