Hi, I have a problem when I call someone and right after i put the phone next to my ear the phone turns black.. to go in standby mode or w/e i have to press the button for it to turn back on, but there is no unlock screen when this happens.. Anyone know what the deal is? Sometimes the phone won't even call when I put it up to my ear fast enough. really weird, please help. Also, when i put my ear away from the phone it turns the screen back on.
It's the proximity sensor, its meant to disable the screen so you don't press things with your face

Ya, but when I press "Call" And put it up to my face to fast the call won't go through.. Wtf is it because of the Screen Protector covering it? Having weird malfunctions like after calling and touching the screen once it will just turn off.

It is designed for the HTC ONE X, it's the SGP one, and it doesn't have a hole. ****.

Is there a proximity sensor patch for the HTC Desire?
Sometime i have to end phonecalls by pulling the battery or plugin the headset to get the screen back.

Your device could be faulty as I have never had this problem.
same here, the minute i pull the phone away from my ear the screen turns back on, it may be a faulty proximity sensor

Do you have ROM from Desire HD?
Proximity Sensor Problem
Hi
I am also experiencing this problem on my HTC Desire (2.1 Eclair) however I dont have to restart my phone or anything. It just doesnt show the screen after I pull the phone away from my face sometimes.
I have a Body Glove with Screen protector but I doubt its the screen protector that could be causing this - or could it? (its clear in colour anyway).
No. It has a regular Desire generic rom.

The screen protector is probably exactly what's causing it.
Official HTC screen protectors have a cut-out for the proximity sensor, even though the protector is clear.
Does anyone know how the phone "knows" that the screen has been flipped open? Is there an extra sensor somewhere? For that matter, how does any android phone with a sliding keyboard know that it's open as opposed to just in landscape mode?
(This might sound like a dumb question to some, but I'm honestly curious.)
It's magic

I think those "legs" have some sensor in them, cause the screen is flipping and the keyboard lights are on after the smallest movement.
Im not sure, I think its the legs

Nope. Its a magnet and a magnetic sensor. The magnet is on the backside of the screen. Open the screen partially and you can stick a paper clip behind where the phone ear speaker is. I think you might be able to turn the screen on, and rotate to landscape waving a magnet at the right spot. But I'm not sure (don't have a strong enough magnet right now). On other HTC phones you can do this, to the point that cases/holsters with magnetic closures would accidentally (and annoyingly) turn the screen on.
g1 is the same way, magnet
I have a Matte screen protector on my phone, I occasionally take it off to see my 720 screen in all its beauty, but when I take it off the touch screen starting freaking out a little bit to my touch, especially on the navigation buttons, I have tried OpenSemc app for onscreen navigation but still the screen thinks I'm holding a touch even when I'm not. Help.
And if you replace your screenprotector back on your screen?? Do you you have still the same problem?

No, when I put the screen protector back on the phone, the problem goes away but matte screen protectors make the screen less appealing and its messing up the touch responsiveness of the phone without it

Try calibrating your screen removing the screen protector...
You can either use the script posted here...or there are apps available for the same. your problem may get resolved...

This didn't work, is there any other method?
Hi Guys,
Newbie here, wonderful forum and lots of tech stuff, kudos to every one who have contributed.:good:
Facing couple of issues with my NOKIA X, request your help pls!
Issue: Screen goes blank during a call, when using the phone without headset, & doesnt come back on, untill the call is disconnected by the caller at the other end.During this period, when the screen goes blank, it leaves me with no access to the menu, dialpad, etc and the call disconnect button doesnt end the call as well.
1) Turned off proxmity sensor in the "Phone-Settings" menu, it works properly.ie the screen stays "on" during the call and no issues with disconnecting the call, accessing the other dialpad options etc.
2)Also Turned on/off Automatically adjust screen brightness , observed that issue is intermittent.
Any leads would be helpful.Not sure about sensor calibration and tweaks
thanks

the screen supposedly to turn off during calls when it detect something near the proximity sensor ie your face when attending calls, this is to preserve power, and it should've come back on again when u bring it far from your face. this is default bahaviour on all smartphones nowadays.
but when it doesn't come back on again after u bring it far from your face after making calls, then thats a problem.
u use screen protector? a thick one and it covering the proximity sensor perhaps? from my experience thick screen protector that covering the sensor can interfere with its sensitivity.
the sensor is on the right side of the nokia logo infront of the phone. look closely and u could see it.

Thank you mdfzhi, i took off the screen guard (yeah it looked unusually thick :silly and it seems to work at the moment, will monitor and see if the issue pops up!:good:
thanks again!!
search for screen protector that doesn't cover the proximity sensor, or if u cant find one that doesn't, cut yourself a hole in place of the sensor.
i'm using a thick anti fingerprint screen protector myself but its not covering the proximity sensor.

nokia xl blank screen call
Hi guys, my XL got blank screen every I make a call, what happen...
Blank screen show in every rom I've installed, but not on stockrom, at stockrom blank screen call only happen once after that going normal...
I'm not using screen protector at all...
What's wrong, how to fix that ??
this problem is in NOKIA X stock rom..
other roms doesnt have this problem..
its a bug in stock.
I've noticed when I make a phone call the screen will sometimes stay black and won't come back on. Horrible when the person does not answer and I have to wait for the voice-mail limit to be reached or I have to pull the battery. I recently added tempered glass but I doubt that's what the problem is. Any ideas?

I've also notice that if my screen is off for a while, double tapping the screen won't work but if I press the power button on back then double press the screen it shuts off and if I quickly double tap again screen turns back on. Temper glass the culprit you think? I mean sliding through pages and pressing screen items works perfectly.

temper glass is real culprit here

I had a same problem started but after i put tempered glass as it block proximity sensor hence you get problem. I removed T.G now it works smoothly.
Don't be too quick to dismiss the tempered glass as the culprit, if it covers the proximity sensors. A lot if people have reported issues like this, if using TG protectors that don't have the cutouts for the sensors, near the front-facing camera.

Someone just told me the knock on feature might be affected by the sensor as well which I didn't think about. The sensor is definitely covered by the glass. Guess I need a new one. Thanks guys.
