Sounds like the proximity/light sensor in the lcd is dead.You can replace the ribbon cable with the sensor on it if you are good at repairing tech. Otherwise if you have to have it repaired it is just as cost effective to get a new to you phone. They are cheep.
There is a thread somewhere with an app which lets you see the readout from that sensor.
You could always try a hard reset, but I wouldn't bet on it fixing the issue. Only your data to loose though if you want to give it a try.

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 have a Touch Pro2 Vodafone, but unlocked, and flashed with custom 6.5 ROM and it continually has the problem of the screen going blank and not coming to life.
I have tried Energy Rhodium 29022 and another ROM but both have the problem.
I guess it might be a hardware fault, but not sure really.
Any suggestions for fixing?
task29?
Does it "always" go to the blank screen, or is it intermittent?
Also, when you say going blank and not coming back to life - does this mean when the phone is rebooting? When it's off and being turned on? What are you doing that induces this behavior? Has the phone always done this? Have you tried the stock ROM?
You could also try remapping one of your buttons as a 'Power Management' button using the keyboard configuration to see if your power button is at fault. If all else fails, try flashing the shipped Rom to see if the problem continues. Good Luck!!
Sounds like a failed light sensor. Somewhere there was an app you could install that would display the sensor reading. If it was 0 then you had a bad sensor.

I know of such a thing for Android, but does one exist for WinMo?

I want to say that there was. It wasn't the primary function of the app, but info you could get from it. It has been more than 6mo since I was fooling around with WM on the TP2.
I ran task29 before
Have tried three roms
Problem occurs e.g., today, blank screen, cannot activate, remove battery, try to turn on, get the buzzing sound which means it's turning on but still blank.
Press buttons, oops looks like I'm calling someone.
Phone still blank. Then get incoming call - it wakes up.
This happens regularly, blank and cannot wake up.
Usually charging it wakes it up.
Flash back to stock, if it's still occurring there it's probably a hardware issue. As was stated earlier, the proxy sensor is suspect for sure.

That really sounds like a bad sensor.
And the advantage to that is, if it is a bad sensor, you could always perform some surgery on your device and install a new screen & digitiser as I did on mine. I had a problem with a slightly rattly earpiece afterwards but I think it was something I did. Handily I was able to purchase a pre-built screen and digitiser as a single unit complete with ribbon cables, I just had to swap it out and reattach the various ribbon cables. Proximity sensor and LDR are all in the one unit above the screen... Which is quite useful as they're all tiny surface mounted components
If you don't want to invest money, and like android I think that FRX07.1 does not use the sensor. That build would let you use the phone as is.

I would think that there is only one light source, probably an LED. Typically with these things a clear plastic part routes light to the three buttons from a single source. I would guess that's a hardware issue and if it bothers you (it would me) send it back again.

Spot on. There is a YouTube video somewhere of how to replace the LCD screen, and there is a complicated task of lining up the light guides used for the three buttons, I suspect they just haven't done it very well.
It will not be a software issue.

if youre using a custom rom, it may be the rom?

they didn't send a replacement after all of that , they just repaired it again (properly though)
hi every one,
My phone proximity sensor are not working i checked in the settings it's Turn On But Still The Are Not workings,... And Even i Install os Many Times Through Odin Because Of This Problem But No use ..
Please Help me Is This A Hardware issue
There's a way to check if it's malfunctioning. Start your phone, and head to the dialer, and type *#0*#, and a screen should come up with all sorts of buttons on it. Tap "Sensor" in the middle, and you should have a screen with a spinny thing. If you hold your hand near the proximity sensor, the white background should turn green and your phone should vibrate. If it doesn't do that, your sensor may be malfunctioning. To exit it, double-tap the back button until it exits.
what rom have you?
