Peoples here are just viewing no answers?!!
Proximity sensor is used to turn off the screen during a phone call if your screen goes off during a call when you put the phone on your ear that means that the proximity sensor works

do you mean you cant answer calls because of the proximity sensor turning the phone screen off?
You posted this question around august last year. No solution then, probably not gonna work now after 7 months........why didn't you take action then if i may ask ? You where on the viper x rom it didn't work then also ? Now back on stock ( i helped you find the boot img ? Still no good sensor ?
:S
I have this problem also... sensor don't work... some solution?

Hello,
I have my desire with a faulty proximity sensor, witch means that sometimes I cant hang up my phone calls
Is there any application that can assign any hardware button for my screen to wake up during a phone call?
I tried programs that claim to do that, but the information and action performed by the proximity sensor seems to override all programs.
can someone help me?
best regards
Does the power button not do this?
hi,
nope
with an active call and proximity sensor on, I cant get any hardware button to work.

Then no .
Just go to your retailer with it. If it's under warranty, they're obligated to replace it for you.
it's not under warranty...
isnt there a way to disable the proximity sensor? I wouldn't mind if the screen stays on all the time when in call..
can someone help?
regards
Turn your screen timeout to 30 mins? If your proximity sensor isn't working then it won't turn the screen dark when you put the phone to your ear.

My problem might be with the two sensors (proximity and light). As soon as I make a call the proximity sensor orders the screen to shut down and to wake up the screen I have to point a bright light...
I think the solution... if there is... is to disable the proximity and light sensor forcing values.
any help besides get the phone to repair and pay $$$$
If you plugin the headset you get the screen back.
Hi all,
My light sensor appears to be broken on my phone, I put it to my ear when making a call but when i return the screen is still black.
The screen does not return to normal till the other person hangs up (anserwing mchines are giving me the rage lol)
Does anyone know how to fix it? or just turn that function off? Not sure why its suddenly broken.
cheers for your help
yes go to settings and screen disable auto light
Could be an issue of your Rom...
you can check if it is actually broken with this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858&highlight=proximity+recalibrator
Take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum on the top left of your screen,around the screen seal, small dust particles can get in there and affect the light sensor. It worked for me... give it a shot!

thank you, that fixed it
Hey guys.
I have a desire which has been dropped and the screen in the top left corner cracked. The proximity sensor is damaged, and I can test with various apps that this is indeed broken.
Now, when I get or make a call, the screen turns off, but since the proximity sensor isn't working, it's not turning on again when I move the phone away from my ear. So I wanted to know if anyone knew of a way of either completely disabling the feature, or a way of manually "waking" the screen again, by using any of the hard-buttons?
Thanks
what happens.. when you press power button
Sometimes it comes on, but mostly it doesn't... Regardless of which button I press...
I have read somwhere.. that by blowing some air over that part.. may clear any blocakge.. and proximity sensor works fine.. just try this .. use any vaccume cleaner.. and blow some air over sensor part..
And if that doesnt work.. search for this app in market "'Proximity Screen Off' ".. it might help you.
Yeah, I read that too... Tried blowing with compressed air even. The sensor is dead :/
Try this app.. it will switch your proximity sesor off after call ended.. its not mine just found. you might wanna try this

Hy, i have got the same problem !
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.
hey, i bought the phone one month ago but the Proximity Sensor is not working at home it only works under the sun , pleas help to fix it
the screen is not gone black during call at home and the red sensor is still working after the call
