Proximity sensor on Desire HD

Dear all,
My Desire HD may have an error about proximity sensor: after installing Light Lock, right now my proximity sensor doesn't work, when I'm making a call, the screen still turn on (it must turn off if proximity sensor running, and the fone will have a vibration when I make call)
I try to up new ROM (ship ROM and CM7) but it doesn't work like the first. I don't know why, anyone please help me to fix it because it's make me more difficult when putting phone in my jeans.
Somebody please help,
Many thanks for any suggestion. Thank you.
Please somebody help me!??
Have some patience, no-one is here 24/7. No need to panic just because you don't get an answer in a couple of hours.
Did you try to search? (just click "Search Now")
Try searching "Desire HD General" section
I've searched everywhere and I think don't have any people like me!? Maybe it occurred error when I install light lock?
Like i said, look in the General section.

Yeah, but it can not run on 2.3.3 OTA, 2.2 of 1.32.405.6 it can run but it's not stable, sometime you have to turn it on.
Until now, we just don't have any solution?

Proximity sensor issue...please help

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.

[Q] Can rooting/deodexing cause proximity sensor problem?

I remember one thing that happened after putting a custom rom on my Desire HD was the proximity sensor started working pretty badly. Luckily there was a calibration tool that I could use to tweak it back to normal.
Has anyone had any problems such as this or anything else in general I should keep in mind before rooting the Galaxy Nexus?

[Q] Proximity sensor calibration

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.

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.

It's strange but try, in first time, to clean the sensor with a cotton-bud. If it still deosn't work, try to recalibrate your proximity sensor with the following apk : DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator
Good luck !
I had the same problem.
But today I was replacing the back cover with the black one and in the process I saw A LOT of dust around the phone's earspeaker. The proximity sensor was hardly visible at all. I cleaned it up, put everything back together and it's working like a charm. Even power led is now 2 times brighter lol
