is there a way we could use light sensor as a proximity sensor. I saw some thing like this for hero ? .
Im on CM7.1 RC1
Why would you want to? The DHD has both already and seperate.

Cause i have encountered multiple times the proximity sensor fails to work.... tried the proximity sensor config app multiple times on multiple rom's/multiple kernels ! and it works for some time but then starts failing after some time.. I know its not my hardware fault as it is a new mobile.
Did it work properly on the stock ROM? Even new handsets can develop faults.

Hi!
I got a rooted DZ with several rom's tried out.
I believe that in the Stock OTA-ROM everything worked fine.
Now I'm at the Vision-Desire-HD-Sense 3.0 .
The light sensor is working a bit, but shows at darkness 10, at daylight 40 and in the sun 160. Another Handy shows 160 at daylight and 360 in the sun.
The proximity sensor always shows 9.0 ...
Is the sensor damaged or can I replace some library's or config files in the ROM?
Thx!!!
Domi
maybe is the rom. Try reinstalling it.

Did you find the solution?
I guess I have the same problem.
I have the same problem. Tried differebt ROMs, but it still don't work.
Did anyone solve the problem?

If it's anything like my Desire Z, your phone will be permanently affected by this. My light sensor just stopped working one day, and never started working again.

so, the only way is service center?
As title says: since i rooted my desire hd and flashed a custom rom, the proximity sensor ( G-sensor) and compass aren't working anymore. Tried to calibrate, reset, hard reset, flashed other roms, nothing helped. While calibrating, nothing moved, not the levelers and not the needle of the compass.
What relation do they have together? Is it one part? Could it be a hardware problem or just software?
I noticed some threads about a locked G-sensor. Tried to "shake" them loose. No result. Who can and is willing to help me? thnx.
Mine proximity s. isn't working either. I guess I will take it apart and have a look at it, could be dust or smth.

I replaced my Earspeaker yesterday since the sound had been really bad for som time.. while doing this I removed loads of dust located behind the Grid at the top the phone.. doing this ofc fixed the sound, but i also made my Proximity sensor work again.. and made the GPS get a better signal.. so really try cleaning it.. does wonders...

Try a fresh install of an RUU (going back to stock).
If it doesn't work then it shouldn't be a software issue.
Normally rooting does not affect those things.
When I flashed cm7 to my DHD the proximity sensor stopped working. It was an issue with the sensitivity settings of the sensor not being correct for AOSP roms. I fixed it using the app in this thread.

What is your hboot version?

Hi
My hboot is 1.12
Then your problem could be from a bad flash(reflash the latest version of the rom)

Did it work perfectly before flashing the ROM?
Mine's currently getting it's proximity sensor fixed. It was hardware related...
Actually I bought four months old phone. I have not checked at the time of purchasing. After rooting and flashing custom rom proximity sensor is worked where weak. From two days onwords it is not yet all working. So, please anybody advise me. I checked two other custom roms also. But no use.

Proximity Sensor Finder from the play store can help.
I found that when I squeezed the phone just below the camera, the sensor would work temporarily. It seems it's not an uncommon fault.
My sensors are good, this must be software related since it happened at the first boot of a new ROM.
Problem is, even if I flash stock firmware I have no luck making auto rotation and other motion features such as quick glance to work.
Anybody got an idea?
Anyone?
Please this is exhausting

Are you Sure Your Sensors are Good.
Open The Phone & Apply Alcohol to the Sensor Connecting Strips ....
OR
Trying Using a Different Sensor Flex from Your Friends or someone else's Note 2 ...

It must be software related.. When i flashed the leaked 4.3 it was fixed, but after a week stopped again

What apps are you using to test the errors... If they aren't compatible with the leaked 4.3 then that might be the issue? Also kernal compatibility might be what's throwing it off

Well i try to rotate the screen for starter's.. Calibration don't even respond to movement as the ball stays in the center. Gyroscope demanding apps such as flight games dont work. Its not 4.3 as 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 don't fix it either
Same problem since 2 months
i too have the same problem...
i guess i can say that i'm not a noob... searched everything on the internet for this problem...
found no solution yet...
i too thought this was a kernel related problem ... tried many roms and kernels ... even i unrooted my phone and installed the stock ROM ... no help still..
i got the sensors working by accident sometimes ... but they again stopped working randomly...
i didn't open up my phone yet .. and didn't give it to the service center... thinking of doing that in some days
i guess the problem started when i dropped my phone and cracked the screen ... 4-5 months ago .. gave it to an unauthorized repair to replace the screen .. i guess he messed something up ..
but the problem started way after i replaced it ... started giving the problem since 2 months after the repairs...
any help before i spend more money to repairs/replace the sensors? .. \

Hi everyone !
I have an issue on my One X when I'm using the g sensor. For instance, if I use it to take a photosphere, the points start to slowly drift to the side.
I'm on CM11 M7 but i've had the issue for a long time even on CM10.
What's happening ?
I rebooted while pressing volume up and it seemed to work. I managed to make a small photoshpere. I tried to make another one and the g sensor was acting weird again.
No idea ?

have you tried to calibrate your g-sensor?
Yes, I've used GPS status and advanced tools that both have a calibration functionality. That didn't work.
Maybe there is another way of doing it that I'm not aware of.

This technique seems to apply to phones which don't have a working sensor at all. But I've tried it anyway. And it doesn't work.

have you tried a sense rom?
I have the same issue on my HTC One S ville running CM11. I was thinking about downgrading to CM10 but that doesn't seem to fix it as you say.
I would really like photosphere to work correctly. Does anybody else have this problem (running stock rom), any fixes?
