the phone screen should turn off when in a phone and close to my ear due to the proximity sensor
but the screen doesnt turn off....i dont know why
its a stock desire hd with the recent gingerbread update so its not rooted.
any ideas for troubleshooting?
its really annoying
i have an app that tested the sensor and found no issues (ie, it measured me moving my finger on and off the sensor without issue)
no root, cant help much, no custom kernels
iv always had the same issue, even with Lee's rom installed, the proximity sensor never seems to pick up at the right time.. is there any way of calibrating it?
There was an app on xda somewhere for calibrating the dhd sensor. Try a search on here and try Google. Think it might be a known bug with some dhd.

Since a few days my DHD does not go blank anymore while making a call? I searched all the possible settings, but can't find anything. Google doesn't show anything either..
When normally while making a call the screen goes blank, it stays on now. So the weirdest things happen during the call..
Anyone any ideas?
TNX!
Are you rooted? If you are you can use the proximity recalibrator tool. Search for it in the Development section.
If you arent, please inform us and we'll do the best we can to help.
Nope; not rooted, standard device with 2.3.3.
Maybe your prox snsor is broken. Download 'proximity screen off' free from market.
A cool app and also a good way to check the prox sensor. See if the sensor is working.

Ye it seems like the sensor is broken. Its a little thing next to the earpiece. Nasty little bugger.
But yes first download that app and see if it says anything.
Installed it, push "start services" and thats all thats happening...
You may need to go into settings. Select.to turn off device when sensor covered. Cover prox sensor for time set. See if it asks for perrission to turn off screen. If not check settings. If it still doesnt work sensor is broken.

What kind of problem are you having?
Some answers to your problems as I have had (and somes still have) that problem myself.
this thread has the tool
First my kernel did not accept racalibration but after flashing Andoid Revoulution HD I was able to configure proximity sensor.
Good luck.
the problem i am having is that the sensor does not turn screen off when i have phone beside ear during a call.
my device is not rooted
any ideas, if so a link would be great cheers

Yes I was talking about the same problem

p.s. i am afraid there may not be any option for not rooted phones, or somebody may know it
p.s. you can try this software from android market
tried that one but device couldn't open it for some reason
Hey,
is there any way to calibrate the proximity sensor one the One X?
For some reason my proximity Sensor needs very high brightness values to activate the screen again, when calling. This happens on every ROM I use, even stock. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a solution? I've been looking for a while now but only found solutions for other devices. Help would be very appreciated
Are you taking about ambient light sensor?
Proximity sensor is sensor made for distance detection.
No I actually mean the proximity sensor. I know it shouldn't be depending on light but it does. I don't know why. First I thought the sensor is broken, but if there is enough light it reacts to movement. If not I'm not able to get the screen back on until the other person hangs up. Its really weird. Sometimes even the little red light stays on. In the DHD forum i saw a thread about someone who developed an app to recalibrate the proximity sensor, so i thought this could also be done for the HOX.
For your knowledge, the proximity sensor on One X is kind of binary type (return 0/1;object detected /none). There are some sensors test tool offers on play store, you may try them out..

Ok. I did that already. Same happens there. Thats why Im not sure if its malfunctioning or just needs to be calibrated.

Well, this is enough. I have to assume that its a hardware defect and I wont send it in a 6th time.Getting rid of this contract next week.

i had exactly the same problem. You can fix it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882725 this patch. All you need is a custom rom with init.d support. Cheers!
You can use this.

You'll need root access, read the sticky in android development forum

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.
