I've been wondering, would it be possible to make an app that kicks in when you're on a call, that uses the light sensor as a proximity sensor.
The basic idea is, you put the phone to your ear, it blocks light and the screen locks, take it away from your ear, it detects more light, and unlocks the screen so you can enter numbers etc.
I was also thinking instead of being set at specific light levels (less than 50 for off, over 50 for on etc) it could work on a factor of relative brightness, so if it gets 5 times brighter it knows to unlock the screen.
Does this sound possible?
I don't think this can work. What happens during the night?
very old idea
phone must have bio sensor near speaker which touch to ear, so only hardware solving
using light sensor will work only with light, at dark place\time it doesnt work
another way is to make sensitive top of sensor display for touching but other part of display must be blocked
deadend
Tha X1 speaker is right next to the earpice, it's almost part of it, that's why gave me the idea.+As for dark places, that's why I suggested it measures a differennce in brightness, rather than specific values. Obviously at a certain point, it won't detect any change, I guess then the programdetect darkness up until the point of answering the call, and disable itself.
Or maybe there's a way to use the backlight to create a lightsource but have the touch part off...
Brightness would increase as the phone approached the ear, then drop off as it got there, then similar when you take it away.
Actually, based on the intention, I think it would be sufficient if the phone app is active, the screen is on and locked if phone app is inactive. Touching cheeks, etc are all not real problems in my opinion.
xperia tweak
xperiatweak will fix this issue.
Hi,
I'm using an original ROM for TP2 with Manilla 2.1.38158.2 (as shown in Settings | About).
AFAIK this version should include the "in-call curtain" functionality, on which the call buttons are locked during a call. However, I see no sign for this anywhere.
Does anyone have an idea how this feature can be turned on, or how do I add it?
The curtain is unnecessary. Your device as a proximity sensor that turns off your display when you hold you face it. You don't need the curtain to lock the buttons. When you move the device away from your face, you probably want to use the touch screen so it turns back on.
I usually talk using a Bluetooth headset while the device is kept in my bag or pocket. The proximity sensor should theoretically detect that the device is covered and keep the screen off, but it often fails to do so, allowing random buttons to get pressed.
S2U2 doesn't solve this either, as it keeps the device unlocked during phone calls. There's TouchLockPro, but I don't like the way it works.
Have you tried CSDEVCTRL? I recall it allows you to lock the device during and after a call.
Yes, I found it in one of the forums here a couple of weeks ago. For some reason it didn't keep the device locked during calls, though specifically configured to do so. I haven't looked deeper into that, since I thought that the supposedly built-in curtain would do.
BTW, a simple test shows that the proximity sensor is completely useless for this scenario. I put a small object on the sensor, locked the phone and turned it off. I then called it from another phone and answered using the Bluetooth headset. Although the screen was blocked with an object, it was completely unlocked and could be pressed. The proximity sensor turned the screen off only if a movement was detected towards the screen, and not when something was already blocking the screen.
I repeated this test several times with the phone in a bag. I locked it, called, answered using the Bluetooth headset and tried to press against it from outside the bag. In every single time on-screen buttons got pressed.
As a matter of fact, the TP2 is way worse than the original TP in this sense. In my previous TP I could answer a call using the headset, take out the phone (carefully so it won't hang up by a screen press), lock it again and put it back in the bag/pocket. Now with the TP2 the proximity sensor wakes up the device unexpectedly, so I can never keep it inside anything during a call.
There is a shareware Pocket Shield which provides a screen curtain. You may have a try for your TP2 at this link:

I tried installing the InCallCurtain from my Touch Pro ROM and it does not work with the TP2. It is a different dialer so the calls for the curtain may not be in there.
My phone has no problem turning itself off when it gets near my face. Why would you want a call curtain?

Did you read the thread ?!
Thanks Angler, I just tested Pocket Shield. I must say I like the progress of this program since the last time I tried it.
I won't use it as a general lock utility because of a severe issue: for some reason my Bluetooth headset loses the ability to answer calls while it's locked. I click the headset button, the ring sound moves to the headset, and the call is not picked up.
I'm thinking about only using its curtain feature - use only the protection during phone calls without locking. This seems to work, however PocketShield locks my device whenever it powers on and I can't find a way to cancel that without completely turning it off. Any ideas here?

Prox sensors come in different types. They aren't all configured to turn off "when covered" by just anything. Since the primary purpose is to save screen power when held against your face, it may well be technically designed to detect things that can conduct electricity, like you. If you're curious about it, as I am, next time you test it, cover the prox sensor with your thumb.
If that doesn't work, I recommend on second test. Just because there is a prox sensor doesn't mean that HTC is using only that for turning off the screen. In order to avoid accidentally turning it off while you're trying to use it, which would be annoying, they might be using the accelerometer to detect whether it's being held like a phone or not, and not turning it off if it isn't. Test two is to hold it in a position at an angle as if you would if you were talking on it, and hold your thumb over the prox sensor.
I don't have my TP2 yet, that's why I haven't tried it myself. If you're already on to your current solution and don't want to I understand, but if you do, I'd be curious as to your results.

Tested that with some objects and with my hand. Same results. Even with the phone being held vertically like I'm talking with it, the screen won't turn off if it was covered before the call. When removing the hand/object from the proximity sensor and covering it again - the screen turns off immediately.
Maybe this is not a limitation of the sensor but a simple programmed behavior. If so, perhaps it can be patched... <evil grin>
Update. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Proximity there are 3 keys: ProximityDetectStatus, ProximitySensorOn, UnexpectedWakeup.
The first key is updated live by whatever the sensor detects. I now know for sure that the sensor continously knows if there's something on top - the dialer behavior is programmed.
I'm not sure what the other keys do. ProximitySensorOn was set to 0 on my registry and now when it's 1 I see no difference. Gotta go, will continue with that later.
Switching the Proximity Sensor off...?!

Although I was looking for other reasons -- see below -- I get the same result; & even when you do change ProximitySensorOn to 1, it doesn't survive a soft reset: simply reverting to 0....
What I was looking for was some way of disabling the Proximity Sensor (PS) altogether: because (i) I'm deaf, & I therefore Bluetooth all calls directly to my 'hearing instruments'; & (ii) I've just bought a case which covers the darned thing (meaning the PS) up, permanently locking the touch-screen when it's on! (Aargh.)
Having spent the last couple of hours (plus) searching the TP2 forums on here (& a related one on PPC Geeks...), I've discovered that: (i) lots of people are having PS-related problems; (ii) some of these problems are to do with TouchFLO 3D; (iii) some may be related to various forms of screen-locking; (iv) some may even be caused by other tweaks or hacks we've carried out; & -- last, but not least, as lots of other proud TP2 owners have bought similar cases -- (v) I appear to be the only one having this particular problem (...probably caused by (iv)?)!
It's as if my particular sensor thinks my ear is permanently glued to the screen... -- I can operate all the buttons & the keyboard; but the screen (even though I can turn it on with the power switch) just will not respond while the case is attached (& therefore covering the sensor...).
If anyone has any ideas -- apart from drilling a hole in the case, somewhere (randomly) to the left of the HTC logo... -- please let me know!
Thank you for reading...

PS: I have a UK-spec., unbranded, GSM Touch Pro2 (...not that this seems to make any difference); & I've already tried turning off any locks & PINs (& changing their duration), as well as the owner information screen....

I am looking for a light sensor solution like on the IPhone. If u get a call and you put the phone at your ear, the phone screen gets dark, thats normal,
but what is, if I want to turn on speaker or something during a call? I allways have to press the ON/OFF button.
At the Iphone, they got a better solution for that.
Can anayone manage a little plugin cab or does anyone know a registry solution?
you need Touch_InCall_Screen_Tweak, It can do what you want but it is not using the light sensor.
It uses the G-Sensor, when the device is not in vertical position (closed to your ear), phone will wake up automatically and sleeps again when you take it close to your ear to speak (vertical position).
thank u for your reply, but I want a light sensor app.
Am not sure
but there isnt a light sensor in the blackstone to start with

Pocket Shield is not freeware and is definetly not what I want.
I just look for a solution auto-lock un-lock when you remove or taken to the ear.
Microsoft developers will read this thread and bring it into new builds.
Ok, try this one. It seems to be available for free or at least the minimum version ,the full version is around the 7 $. You can measure the Brightness at your workplace, in rooms, use it for Photography or to set up aquariums and terrariums. Works fine although I use it just like for fun maybe is useful for your work.

This is what you want to adequately switch the screen off as it comes to your ear and then on again as it comes away from your ear.
I've been using it on a an HD since March/April and it works flawlessly. It even has intelligent options to handle bluetooth calls and control of the speakerphone.
hmmm sounds good but what happens if you get a call at night and there's no light?
Need a combination of light sensor and g-sensor I think.
Yes it has it - please just try it before finding problems with it. It will work for you!!!

Yes this is one of the biggest problems with lightsensor...
Tested the detection range with mToolbox and Lumos - and it shows "0" very early even if there's a bit light around - so the light sensor in-call-detection wont work very good.
How is it solved at iPhone?
BTW:
[APP]Touch InCall Screen Tweak v1.2.0 - Updated 3 Sep 09 - Battery Drain Fix
So it doesn't use the light sensor then?
From v1.0.6 it DOES use the light sense to detect if it is against your ear. This is really a double check to back up the orientation. It doesn't use it to determine if it's away from your ear because the sensor doesn't seem to work when the screen is off, so it's of no use for switching the screen back on.
so - what else you want?
The iPhone doesn't use the light sensor to toggle screen, it uses proximity sensor - it turns off the screen when something approaches the area near the speaker and turns it back on when there's nothing near it.
Light sensor can't work reliably because you can get a call in a dark room.
TICST is a workaround using both the light sensor and the g-sensor, it's rather good but not perfect.
A perfect solution requires hardware that's missing in Touch HD. HTC HD2 will have the proximity sensor so screen toggling will be working there, hopefully.
Do you think someone will make an app that will detect your face and unlock the phone now that we have a front facing camera. Also what is the motion sensor used for?
That'd be awesome

Sweet. Hopefully it's hacked with front camera access and the ability to enable it by holding the volume rocker to do the scan. Hopefully you don't wake up one day looking really ugly.
Lots to hope for LOL
It would be nice to have the camera key on the side though. There already a couple of face "detection" apps out there, not recognition though. Photofunia, in market, takes face and puts in various backrounds, works well

One example of the motion sensor is that when someone calls you, the Evo quiets the ringtone when it detects you've moved your phone with the intent to pick up the call.
It's actually a proximity sensor, used to turn the screen off when it's held close to your face. The feature of the ringer quieting on pickup uses the accelerometer.
So what does the motion sensor do?

The Light sensor via front of HD2 disables touchscreen of device when held close to face! The motion sensor is used for screen rotate and other apps that work well with phone positioning commands!

The light sensor has nothing to do with disabling the touch screen. Its used to change the auto brightness of the display. The screen shuts off when on the phone because its turned upright.
Well that's how it works on the evo. So I would think the same for hd2 that u mentioned in a evo thread...

Ahh, but u can hold the phone next to u and the screen won't come on till u tilt the phone horizontal...anyway its not the light sensor...And yes a face recog app would be very cool to have...
People, people! Please!
1) Accelerometer: Used to detect changes in movement. Used primarily in Android for apps such as Bump, or to rotate the screen, or games such as Teeter and racing simulators (tilt phone like you're turning the steering wheel, etc.) Also known as the motion sensor.
2) Light sensor: Used to detect ambient light so that when the phone's brightness is set to automatic, it knows to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen appropriately.
3) Proximity sensor: Used to detect if something is near the speaker and of the phone. Mainly it is used to turn off the screen and touch input when it detects something near its front, and a call is in progress (aka, detects the side of your head near it, so your cheek doesn't accidentally push any buttons).
As for the facial recognition, yes, that would be nice, but what happens when you get a haircut? Put on glasses? Have a zit? Get a black eye? Swollen lip? Sunburn? Grow/shave a beard/mustache/etc.? That's the problem with these kinds of software, and why all computers that have facial recognition will always have a password or some other kind of backup authentication.
Questions?

It's also a laptop and you still have the password login as a backup. Believe me, I used to cell them and had to reset the password every other day because bratty little kids came in and thought they were smart and tough by setting the camera login to themselves making some disgusting face, and the password to "toughguy" or "password".

Would be pretty great!
Lol at the misinformation, thanks for clearing that up for our slower folk.
This is definitely gonna happen sooner or later.
It would need a backup method of course but if made properly it would be more general and little things wouldn't change the outcome.
I was thinking this...
You take 3 pictures the first time you open the app.
It merges them, aligns the face and sets a gaussian blur to smooth and remove imperfections.
Then it cuts out things like hair and eyebrows leaving behind the static parts of your face such as eye shape, nose, mouth, jawline and cheekbones.
It basically takes the 3 specific pictures of your face, and generalizes them, while keeping them relatable to every future pic.
I think its called interpolation, which gives you the perfect identifier, ultimately being used to recognize you.
Of course a setting would be needed to change how similar the face needs to be before being granted access but theres no reason it wouldn't work.
My other going thought is an app that learns as you go but it won't work as well.
nope again!

iTS AN OK thought of how it works but my HD2 can be of any position even flat down and as long as I am in a call and i put my finger over the light sensor (same as face, ear being close to sensor not letting hardly any light get to it)
the screen disables! I think many of you may not have the HD2 if ya didn't know that, don't let internet chat and gossip get in the way of the truth, truth is within the device when holding it, not hear-say. Also why would the accelerometer have anything to do with disabling screen when in an upright position? If one was to lay down in bed chatting on fone, my HD2 would un-disable screen... Try an app called mToolbox, it emulates what light sensor and motion sensor can be used for. I would say, light sensor can be more useful in many more apps than motion, motion works great with changing screen from portrait to landscape and movement in games.. An app to control ps3 via bluetooth using HD2's accelerometer feature would be useful, but for now, i have tweaked it to off, I have many older WinMo's and find using the screen orientation key much more faster and when i need it, it gets annoying when the screen changes at unwanted times and no matter how you calibrate any accelerometer, there are flaws to it depending on what situation one is in when holding the device (fone must be upright again to go back to portrait if fone was laying down) sorry for the long babble but I'm certain that the light sensor own's the screen shut-off feature on the HD2 for sure.. Quote me again any time!
Some features I loved on my Nokia C7 were the clock on the screen when it was locked and the notification light.
Here is an example on a N8 to illustrate:
Apparently as the 710 is using a LCD screen, the screensaver feature would not be possible or at least, would drain too much battery. However, on the Lumia 800, it might work as it's an amoled screen.
And another thing is that this notification light! If the led behind the windows' buttons could blink, it would be perfect for me!
These two features on Symbian were very useful , without unlocking your phone, you were able to see the time and if you got a text!
Someone can tell me if it is possible, because i can understand that there is many stuff involved to make it working, but when i see dev like Jaxbot making great stuff, i hope it's possible..! At least the blinking bar..
Thx
would be really nice! i dont understand why Nokia haven't done it by their own, also that you just can unlock phone with unlock/power button :/ Microsoft should Change that

Yeah! Indeed, it would be also great. Maybe if you use the TouchWake homebrew to use the home button (handier for me than the power button on the top) and if a dev can make a behaviour to directly unlock the screen.
For example, you double-press on the home button and it directly unlock the screen without having to slide up!
I guess it is possible as a long press on camera button directly unlock the screen.. Nice idea facekill1337
Hi,
Is there a developer or someone that could tell me if this idea is possible with some work or totally unrealizable (maybe devs can't control the led) ?
Thx

and apparently there is a way to disable the lockscreen. I guess it is doing the same behaviour you are describing..
Unfortunately, when i tried to change the value, it says "impossible to change the value"...
I'm not sure if the Windows logo could blink on its own, it seems like the three capacitive buttons light altogether, but they can light up on their own without making the screen light up as well. This also depends on the drivers or hardware. I had an HTC Trophy and a Lumia 800, and the way they light up from sleep is gradual, like a fading effect, whereas on the Titan or Focus, the lighting is sudden. But most (or I think all) 1st gen HTC have a LED notification light for battery status and missed calls only, and it seems that its also possible for the other apps to control the LED behaviour.
