Quick question about the proximity sensor and in call screen off. When i have this feature checked "Turn off screenduring calls" should the proximity sensor be active and turn the screen on and off if i have it up to my head??This is what the feature reports to do.
When checked the screen goes off and will not come back on (none of the buttons seem to wake the screen, only end of call will).
Any ideas??
thanks!

Do you have a screen protector on or maybe accidentally covering the proximity sensor? The phone is supposed to wake when the proximity sensor isn't covered, not when the call is ended.

No screen protector or case
actually it looks like the proximity sensor isnt working well for anything....
besides the calls the air gestures (scrolling) stopped working.
I dont think smart stay works either....
i factory reset the phone still nothing
on the lock screen i do see the little white dot follow my hand around so not sure what to think.
any suggestions before i take this back to the store for a replacement?

Does anyone know how to disable the sensor that turns off/on the lcd when you put the phone to your face?
This is a HUGE problem when I AM ON A CALL using bluetooth headset and the phone is in my pocket or belt case and the stupid sensor would randomly turn the screen on and then random keys would be pressed during call or apps launched.
I have s2u2 slide lock but it doesnt lock phone while in call, please help. THank s.
Not a fix, but, TouchLock Pro locks it when that sensor blanks the screen.

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.
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 have a slight issue with my GSM GN.
The problem happens only when I am on a call ( sending or receiving).
When I am on a call if I am requested to , let's say, "press 1"
I bring up the pad to press 1 and before I can press 1 the screen becomes black, comes back to normal and goes back to black before I had a chance to press 1 again.
And it becomes a missed call.
I also noticed, again when I am on the dialer, during the call if I put the phone to my ear the screen again turns black until I get it away from my ear.
If during this call I put the phone on my desk the screen turns dark.
Back to normal screen when I lift it from the desk.
I would appreciate any input to help me understand this weird behavior.
I believe it is the proximity sensor that determines when to turn the screen on/off during calls.

What would be the course of action in this case?
Does somebody has a solution in mind?:fingers-crossed:
Usually proximity sensors help save battery life when making a call turning the screen of assuming that you have your phone close to your ear. But if you want to disable the sensor figure out a way to block the receptor of the sensor, as it is confirmed of two parts. The emitter and the receiver. If the receiver doesn't get a reflection of the emitter then
The screen won't go off. Hope I explained myself

I am not sure if the sensor is working or the screen protector is making it ineffective but when I am on a call the screen doesn't blackout and I get phantom touches from my cheek and either notification panel or something else opens or it ends the call. I tried few hardware testing apps but none register hand movements over proximity sensor area! How to work out of I even have a sensor on the device?
Cheers
Maybe you accidentally turned on "Sensors Off"? I don't know your device, but mine has such an icon in quick settings.
