Sorry if there's a post on this already, but I've tried searching and I can't find any kind of answer.
I'm a total newbie when it comes to modding my phone, but I have the alpha 1 of CM7 flashed on my epic. I was already having a few problems with the proximity sensor when it was stock (my face would bring up the keypad and dial numbers while I was in the middle of a conversation.... I could see the screen lighting up mid-convo for some reason) but it seems almost worse now that I've flashed. My calls will disconnect even though I have service, and this happens almost daily. The screen also can't sense when I take my face away from the phone, so the screen is still black when I want to end a call... I usually have to slide the keyboard open and shut in order to end the call.
Is anyone else having this kind of problem? Or does anyone know if there is a way to... I dunno, recalibrate the proximity sensor or anything? Any help at all would be fantastic.

I would reflash back to stock EC05 and see if the issue continues with the prox. Most of the time a reflash stock will fix the problem. I know you said you had the issue with stock but did you reflash stock to see if it went away. If you still have the issue w/EC05 you just might have a bad prox. If you have TEP just take it in to a sprint store its free, if not it will be $35, make sure it has EC05 software when taking it in or else they will laugh at you and tell you it is the cooked rom you are running which it very well could be.
Haha ok thanks, I'll try flashing back to stock and hope it fixes itself... And thanks for reminding me to go back to EC05 if I take it to a sprint store, I def would've forgotten to change it back lol.

Cm7 is in alpha and I have the same problem.
Hopefully the beta will fix this
Syndicate rom works the best for ec05 that I've used.

I've recently lost the ability to pull down the notification bar in portrait mode. In landscape it works. I can get it to come down in portrait by pressing the menu button then the notification icon, when it's down using this method I can raise it up or down unless I take it all the way to the top. I updated to Fresh 3.5.0.1 and the new radios/wimax/pri/nv the night before. The pull down function worked that night and next morning. I dont' think the update caused this problem since I have reflashed the ROM to a previous version of Fresh and had same issue. I have also restored a backup of a different ROM. Just thought I'd mention that incase someone else has had a similar scenario.
I did drop my phone before this happened but don't no if this was the cause since I only checked to see if the screen was cracked after dropping and don't remember exactly when the bar stopped pulling down, I have no freaking idea.
It's unnerving to have the damn thing not working..
All other aspects of the touch screen seems to work. I downloaded a multi point tester from the market and the touch sensor(s?) seems a little off at the top as to how far up it will follow my finger compared to the bottom. Caused from dropping?
My knowledge of the makings behind the screen are nill so I haven't a clue to what dropping my phone could do to the touch screen things.
Btw has anyone tried to revert back to a pre 3.7 rom with the new radio/wimax/pri/nv and have their phone run like crap? Mine sure did.
Edit: nvm, found this "you cannot run any rom but 3.70 or aosp with pri 1.90"
Any suggestions?
Sounds like It's broken. Try flashing the stock with root 3.70 Rom and wipe everything. I'm going with it needs to be replaced.

does anyone know of the mechanics of the phone as to what may have happened to the touch screen when I dropped, I do think this was the cause of my delimma. did something maybe break or somethign shift? any ideas?
No one has taken one apart yet? How disappointing!
I suppose everyone is still in the 1yr warranty from HTC and not ready to go there.
You touch sensors are messed up. If you have TEP insurance, sprint will repair it free.

This happened to me after my gf thre my phone on the ground. The Sprint Reps won't know what happened, and they'll replace it for free. Make sure it's a new phone instead of refurbished since, refurbished have a tendency of doing the same thing after some time.
Guess it's time to unroot and return for repairs, thanks
This has been happening on my Epic 4G for awhile now and it's really frustrating. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been happening the whole time I've owned the phone, but at this point it's hard to really remmber.
Basically, when I make or receive a call, within a couple\few minutes of the phone call the caller suddenly can't hear me - this happens whether it's using the phone normally, in speakerphone mode, or even a headset. As soon as it happens and the other caller starts the "Hello? Are you still there?" I can fix it by toggling the speaker on and off (or off and on) and it fixes it - but it can suddenly start again at anytime...couple of minutes later, five minutes later, etc.
Right now I'm slowly removing apps from my phone after every call this happens on - my goal is to determine if a particualr app is confusing my phone. I don't think it's the ROM or modem I'm using (Frozen 1.2, EC05) as I did a stock flash and flashed to those just recently and others aren't having the same problem. I DID restore some data so if I can't narrow down an app that's causing it, not restoring any data is my next option (but even more time consuming to figure out specifically which data is causing issues).
I'm pretty sure the phone hasn't always done this so I don't want to exchange the phone considering I don't have any other issues and I think this is software, not hardware related. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?
Have you tried switching Roms, I have this same problem on EC05 when I moved to gingerbread it stopped happening.......

I do have Voodoo installed (since it comes with Frozen 1.2). I haven't tried switching ROMs yet but I have started looking again (I was pretty content with Frozen but if no one had a similar issue and changing the modem doesn't work then a ROM switch is my next try).
Thanks to others who suggested changing modems - I'm going to do that now and see if EE03 fixes this....*crosses fingers*

Go into you Voodoo sound settings and change recording setting to Original. Shoul fix your issue.

Yes! Mine started doing this a couple months ago, and I resolve it exactly the same way (though I have to hit the volume button once, either up or down, then toggle speaker on then off). It's definitely not the ROM because I've had it with both Froyo and GB ROMs. Unfortunately, I haven't found any other solution, yet. I'm hoping it will go away with official GB, but I have no real reason to think it will work. I'm going to play around with the Voodoo sound.

you guys shouldn't be having this problem make a backup then odin to ec05 stock and check if you still have the issue if you do just take it to sprint and show the tech your problem they should fix it or get you a replacement phone.
I have the same issue. I am completely stock. It usually happens 10 to 15 minutes into a phone call. I've already called sprint, taken it to a store but only reflashed the os, and I just recently spoke to someone on chat, who said the problem has been solved. If it happens again should I get a replacement phone?
Blankrubbers fix actually worked for me

I had this problem as well. I odinned stock and problem solved. Now I'm back on bonsai with no problems.
Edit: I just noticed that I don't have voodoo sound installed, I know that I used to, maybe deleting that solved my problem and not odinning back to stock.

speak up i can't hear you
Sadly even after changing modems and making the adjustment in Voodoo Control I still have the same problem. Going to uninstall Voodoo all together and see if that resolves anything.
I just discovered that I'm having the same problem after I Odin'd back to stock EC05 for a different reason. So, EC05 and EC05 modem, and I'm having a problem that I didn't think I was having before I tried EF02.
Could something have been changed that going back to EC05/EC05 modem didn't resolve?

This problem is not generated by Voodoo. I have a stock Epic (rooted) and have never had Voodoo installed on my device and I have intermittently had this problem in the past (haven't seen it for a while, though). My friend has an Epic (never rooted) and also has this problem.
About the only thing I've heard that people have said fixes this is to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash something using Odin. Stock or custom I don't think matters.
As others have noted, uninstalling Voodoo didn't fix it for me. I think what must be causing this is everytime I wipe and install a clean ROM I restore some data through TiBackup and SOMETHING I'm restoring is causing this. Guess I'll just have to wipe and be very careful about what I'm restoring.
This might be completely random, but by chance did other people that experience this problem happen to install NZBAir?
Ok so I realize that this is almost positively a hardware issue, however I just wanted you guys' opinion. So its happened 1 or 2 times before but a simple reboot has fixed it usually, until today when it has gotten really bad all of a sudden. The issue is that randomly, my phone will act like it is being touched on the screen and will either select something or not let me touch what I'm trying to touch. In fact as I'm typing this with the phone's keyboard my phone keeps thinking I'm touching the discard button (which I'm not, obviously) And I've noticed that its always in the bottom left corner of the screen in portrait mode. This is causing me to sometimes not be able to move icons or unlock the phone or scroll through pages because the phone thinks I'm like multi touching the screen in the corner. This happened for a while earlier this week until I pulled the battery. Then this morning it got terrible enough that I could barely use my phone at all even after multiple reboots and fixing permissions. I even went so far as odining back to stock EC05 and OTA updating to EL30, from EG22. ( haven't had time to update to an official build until now. ) again it obviously isn't a software issue but I don't know what I should do, like get a new epic (which I really don't want to) even though this hasn't been a problem until very recently and I don't remember anything damaging my phone. Anyways just thought I'd share my problem with you guys to get any suggestions. And sorry for how long the post is.

I have had this happen... wasn't a hardware issue for me, but it may be for you... I fixed it by turning off the screen (locking the phone) and cleaning the screen off thoroughly.... it fixed the issue... it may not fix it for you though... hopefully its that easy... for me it was some dirt or something on the screen making it "think" I was touching that spot when I wasn't... hope that's all it is for you...

Out of curiosity does this only occur while charging or always?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It happens always. On and off the charger. And I don't think its that easy as I had a screen protector on it and I thought it could be something like dirt under the screen protector causing it to freak out but I took off the protector and its still happening. Looks like I need a replacement... ):

Hi, I am using eugene373's newest PLANE JANE ICS ROM, the whole system seems to me is perfect, except the one issue about the touch keys backlight. Sometimes those four keys do not light up even I already unlock the screen, may have to wait for 15-30 seconds, then the backlight comes up. But sometime it works good. So I am just wondering is there any other this ROM users have same problem about this?
Its a little bug, everyone's got it. It'll probably be fixed soon.

Thanks for telling me that. I already had flashed the rom more than five times!! I thought that only because I installed something affect the lights.

Installed Rom.Everything seemed to work fine.But i could not get Talkatone working that what i use mostly.
Anyone else having this issue?
Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster!! I love this site, you guys have helped me out with so many problems, except one I cant seem to find an answer for :/
I have a sgh-t989 or tmobile galaxy s2
I had rooted firmware on there. I then flashed ics on it. and thats when my problems hapened. My gyroscope or something does not work correctly anymore. If i turn my phone sideways it takes a minute for it auto rotate. If i turn it upright itll rotate after literraly 2 or 3 minutes. and most of the time if i have it upright,it will rotate to the side :/ i have flashed back and forth hoping it would solve the problem. have done the calibration. everything. im back on stock 2.3.6 now and still having problems.
Can anyone please help me I need help
Maybe it's a hardware defect? A faulty accelerometer?

I too am having the same issue since flashing to Jelly Bean. Auto rotate seems to have a mind of its own and rotates when I do not want it to or worse it is 90 degrees out so when I have the device in landscape the screen rotates to portrait
Any clues would be a great help...
Did u flash skyrocket rom?
I'm gonna go out and say unless you flashed something you shouldn't have then it sounds like a faulty accelerometer..

I remember having the same issue. I went to some AOSP rom, had this issue, and it was really annoying me, so I thought it was a ROM issue. I went back to ICS and still had the problem. I think I fixed it by wiping everything I could on my phone (Factory, cache, dalvik, internal, external) and then restored to ICS with ODIN, then calibrated it, and it worked.
