this happens to me, I just press the power button once. Maybe try calibrating it in the settings this might help? (i may actually take my own advice as well)

Sorry just re-read my post, didn't mention what setting you had to calibrate.
In the Display settings under G-Sensor calibration. Make sure you place it on a flat surface.

i have tried it now but what is it to do with the screen sensor?
i havr just checked if it helps and it didnt :-(

One thing I have always wanted to know.... just hot good is the Proximity Sensor on the device? i mean could you make a app that uses the sensor to locate large items in a room and distance to them or is it just a really naff sensor?

anyone can help please??

But then you have to charge the phone more
I have a problem with my rooted G2's light sensor as well. I check sensor values using either an app or Cyanogen's light level editor and it's permanently stuck at 219. I guess that's what I get for upgrading my radio. :/
I'm not sure it's the radio, but my light sensor needs calibrating or something. Even in a pitched black room, it jumps up to 320lx, making it shut off the keyboard when I need it. Ugh, ugh, ugh. It still works though -- just not on the low end of the spectrum.

In the virtuose sense 2.0 thread, they have made some flashable zip that adjust the proximity sensor and light sensor... I don't know if they will work on that rom...but if you want to try..

(Q) Light sensor

Can anybody tell me how my light sensor would be out? I'm pretty sure its not hardware but don't know! Please help!

Wrong subforum. See the one called "Q & A"?
You have to send your phone in to HTC to fix it. I had that same problem where my keyboard wasnt lighting up and my sensor wasnt working. If you have a manufacturers warranty they will fix it for free and fast

[Q] Accidently dropping a call with your cheek

Hello guys
Me and friends using DHDs are having the same problem.
Sometimes hangup the calls with cheeks or ear or ....
Especially it is annoying then you in rush with something, receive important call, hold your phone between shoulder and ear and .............. after some time you accidentally press END CALL button.
It is the biggest minus having touchscreen phone.
The thing is that screen turn offs after some time of talking but it turns on again as you are moving around.
Did anyone find out how to solve this misery?
Would be grateful.
Regards
Pashkustva
Sounds like an issue with the proximity sensor, if I hold mine wrong I tend to turn on loudspeaker with my face. It's tweaked in some of the ROM's I believe - are you running a ROM or still on Stock?
Hi, thanks for responce.
I have rooted sence 3.0 Rom by nitr0. But this problem is not dependant on my rom as before i had original virgin mobile branded rom and the problem still persists.

Definitely a proximity issue. On CM7 I also had the issue of putting calls on hold with my cheek! You can remove the hold button in the call options.
yes. my screen turns off only when i close proximity sensor totally. though it should do it in a distance.
Unfortunately indigolemon's posted app does not work on my kernel. as my radio is 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. and Kernel 2.6.35.10.

In cm7, this accidental hold was a b**ch before i removed it; but it took me quite some time to figure it out

i agree with the statement above. it's a way of our phone to save battery. try going on a darker room and you'll see that bottom buttons lit.

How to disable the calling sensor?

Hey. Does anyone knows how to disable the sensor that turn off the display during calls? What is it called in hardware disabler app?
BTW. I'm not asking about the light sensor....
Thanks

You mean you want to disable the proximity sensor which turns off the display while holding it near your ear? although I can't really figure out why you want to do that, because it has nothing to do with you, but anyway you have to edit your init scripts and prevent the drivers being loaded.
