I flash energy's rom,it's good.but screen light off when calling makes me crazy.However I press the power button,the screen does not light on.every way i can do (regedit,change light sensor) does not work.
so please ,anybody knows?
You're saying that no matter what you do, the screen will not light up at all during a phone call once the proximity sensor turns turns the screen off?
yeah,you are right,but some rom can light up during a phone call,others can not.I'm crying for this
I've used Energy ROMS, and they were bullet proof, ran perfect, did everything they were supposed to do, like turn the screen off when I help the phone to my ear or had an object within proximity of the sensor, and the screen relit whenever I pulled the phone from my ear or moved an object away from the sensor...if you're saying the screen stays dark and you cant turn it on even with nothing blocking the sensor, then I recommend posting that issue in the Energy ROM thread as there could be a solution...if you're saying the proximity sensor works normally and you'd prefer to deactivate it, I searched around for that for you and didn't find a resolution...you can, however, if the sensor works properly...cover it up all the time (perhaps a small piece of black tape or something)...you'll have to hit the power button one time each time the phone takes or makes a call but the screen will stay lit til you turn it off again, even during a call
thank you Gt247. thank you so much.I think I found the way to resolve my screen's problem
I read a bunch where people were looking for a way to disable the proximity sensor...perhaps if that's what you've done, you could post the solution here in the event those peple are still looking
I have tried some apps to disabled my proximity sensor,but those all do not work,I think it's my phone's hardware problem,I have already decided to open my phone to fix it.
so before I fix this fool sensor ,any knows which app can test the proximity sensor?
just a app to test whether my proximity sensor work normally, any clue?

You don't need any app to test the proximity sensor , just turn on your screen , and cover the sensor with your finger . If your proximity sensor works normally , screen will be off . When you remove your finger in seconds , the screen will be turned on again .
I think you can disable the proximity sensor simply by removing the shortcut in the "startup" folder , and restart .
If I misunderstood your words , ignore me pls ~
thanks pcgg.I have tested my proximity sensor,it seems not notice my finger,the screen always on.
I have not found the proximity sensor shortcut in my startup folder,here is the file list in my startup folder:
DeviceLockXT.lnk
LockDevice.lnk
SpbMobileShell.lnk
so could you tell me which lnk is the proximity sensor?I can't find the file about what you say by the name
It seems that there is not priximity sensor app in your phone ....
While there is an app called "Rhodium setting tool" in mine , and it has a option under the menu "phone" named "Light Sensor" . If I turn it on , screen will auto turn off during a call .
Maybe you can try that ?
Well , I must say that I did misunderstood your words ... I thought you were complaining an app called "Proximity Sensor" . I found it in the "Jackos" ROM ... Sorry for misleading you .
You can try that app "Rhodium setting tool" . If it can not work , I will have no idea about it .
thanks pcgg.
I have already try the light sensor,I have tried many apps those can control the light sensor,but those don't work at all,at last I get a conclusion that is proximity sensor has a higher priority than the light sensor,proximity sensor can decide whether the screen can turn itself on or off.
my rom now is seeM_ZA's simplicity rom 21916,I'm now ready to flash jackos'r rom.whether it works ,I will tell you the result later
Any of the two, i suspect the first:
- you probably have some dirt inside your phone, at top left corner where the digitizer has a semi transparent glass for the proximity sensor (you hardly see it without disassembling screen)
- the proximity sensor is KO, you have to replace flex to cure it (about 35$ on eBay)
Once i replaced the digitizer on a TP2 and a little drop of glue went near the window of proximity sensor, it didn't work at all till i disassembled all again, cleared the the glue around the window letting again enough light to enter the sensor.
Wondering if someone (hopefully more than one) can check something to see if this is an issue with my particular phone or something related to the software/hardware. It seems that when a call is placed or received, the proximity sensor goes to "far" and won't reset until it is uncovered and then re-covered. I have searched through the Verizon HTC One forums and have not found anything related to this issue.
If the proximity sensor is covered, and I make a call (via bluetooth headset (double click for last dialed)) or receive a call, the proximity sensor goes to the uncovered state. It then stays in that state until I uncover and then re-cover it. How I checked this was using Elixir 2 and checking the sensor data. I also set up variables in Tasker and Automagic.
So, this was my test procedure:
I start the sensor data in Elixir 2 for the proximity sensor. I cover the sensor with my finger (it now shows "near"). I use my bluetooth headset to place a call. The screen comes on with the current call. I back out of the current screen (the phone screen) and get back to Elixir 2 sensor data. The sensor now shows "far". From that point on, until I uncover the proximity sensor and then cover it, it shows far. I set up variables in Tasker and Automagic that show the same results.
I am running the stock debloated ROM. Rooted and S-Off.
Dont know about the bluetooth thing because i dont have one, but i do have issues sometimes with the proximity sensor when on calls. For example i will dial a number and put the phone to my ear talk awhile and then need to switch to speaker or look at something on the phone while still talking. But when i take the phone away from my ear, the screen stays off, and i have to swipe my finger over the sensor to get it to come back on.
I don't seem to have an issue with that. What seems to happen is that, IF the proximity sensor is covered, and you place a call or answer a call with your headset, when the device "wakes up" to the call screen the proximity sensor defaults to uncovered ( "far" ). Then the sensor does not start responding again until it is actually uncovered.

Anyone?
Hmmm... So, this is the latest for my issue. I went from stock ROM to ViperOne 5.8.0. I am still getting the same results. So, I think I have eliminated the software side of it. Would that be right? So, it could be the firmware or the hardware? I'm still wondering if it's my phone only or if it is an issue with the HTC One in general. Is there anyone that can check this? Or give me another route to take?
I'm on ViperOne 5.8.0
Android 4.4.2
Senses 5.5
Any other info you might need, please just ask.
Hey guys just downloaded the, "stable" 10.1.3-l900 from CM website and for some reason during calls my phone freezes up after the proximity sensor activates. However, there's no option to disable the proximity sensor in the stock dialer so now I can't hang up or use the dialer during a call as the screen is simply stuck on black. Anybody have a fix for this?
the proximity sensor on my note 2 it's not working properly, it's always activated, when I get a call the sreen turn off even if I don't taket to my ear, and then I must unblockit to finish the call, only works when there is a lot of light.
I can't use anything that works with the sensor!!
I need help, thanks!
Hello!
I've started to have a problem with proximity sensor. While calling, the screen get black and there is no way to turn it on (it turn if the other persone close the call only).
I tried to install a proximity sensor controller utility and it says it's always 0cm distance. By touching it I found it unlocks sometimes under pression or temporarily if I blow in it (but after a little it locks again).
I searched in settings an options to deactivate it but I really can't find it..
Can you tell me where I can find the option to turn off the proximity sensor, please?
And is there any way to fix this problem eventually? However I'd be happy if I can just deactivate the sensor..
Thanks
