Hi
how can i disable the proximity sensor on my HTC Touch Pro 2, windows mobile 6.1 ?
I use a screen lock app that dims the screen during calls but when coming near proximity sensor during call, the screen is turned on again - a real pain.
Please if any onw have an advice to shut it off cpmpletely or when i am on bluetooth i would be really happy for some help
PS i thought paroximitysensor was supposed to disable when tp2 is connected to bluetooth - but its not ??
thanks
Nolan
no one ?

having the exact same issue. I found a cab called TurnOffTheLight but haven't had a chance to try it yet.
For me, it would be better if the proximity sensor was off permanently, if possible.

Hi
could you test teh cab and tell us here if that can turn of permanemtly the proximity sensor ?

TurnOffTheLight works to turn off the backlighting but as soon as you move the phone the proximity sensor kicks in again.
in the app called Advanced Config there is a category for adjusting the threshold of the Light Sensor. Unfortunately I have no idea how to adjust it (it is at 0 now) and/or if adjusting this would affect the proximity sensor. Can someone comment on this?

Proximity Sensor behavior and solution
I am a late comer to this bb! Hey,I thought all the bugs would be worked out by now! My keyboard did not work right, .... and I have had several other problems with the touchpro2. What are the Chinese doing over there? I had programmed many embedded units and microprocessor systems, but, really, how can they mass produce units like these? Too many cooks in the soup? They are leaving their quality control to the general community.
My problem was I use my gps for bicycling, and if I place it in the support case, the proximity sensor would shut off the screen, even though I was not placing a call. The screen would blank and not come back on. I noticed there was no problem if the physical keyboard was opened and also if the unit were held horizontally. It did this all the time, regardless of the app running.
There are two sensors at the top of the unit: proximity sensor and light sensor. This is a problem with the proximity sensor, at the left.
So I just placed duct tape over it. Now it does not blank.
My new defy 's proximity sensor seems cannot work correctly,when i making a call ,the screen shut off immediately，and the screen could not light on by any key,but when i touch the proximity sensor with my finger,the screen may be light on!
so i download a app to test the proximity sensor which name's"Android sensor data",this app fingue out the state of proximity sensor,"near" or "far",sometimes I just passing my finger over the proximity sensor, the reading will show 'near' and then remain 'near' even when my finger is moved away!
Can anyone else help me to calibrate the proximity sensor?google told me some android phone can do this ,such as htc, zte etc.
goole tell me android phone have some standard testcode,such as *#*#4636#*#* can show the phone statue,it works correstly in Defy,*#*#0588#*#* test the proximity sensor ,but it doesn't work in defy!!!
is in-pocket detection enabled?
it gave me lots of problems in the past
compass app showing wrong directions, i tried other compass apps but non of these are showing right direction. i dialed *#0*# and checked sensors and found that magnetic sensor needs calibrating, how can i fix compass issue, and how to calibrate magnetic sensor, i tries moving phone in "8" direction but didn't helped....

Just shake your phone in multiple directions, when the meter indicates 3 and blue in color. Then you have successfully calibrated your compass.
Done that on my phone too. :good:
Hello!
I've started to have a problem with proximity sensor. While calling, the screen get black and there is no way to turn it on (it turn if the other persone close the call only).
I tried to install a proximity sensor controller utility and it says it's always 0cm distance. By touching it I found it unlocks sometimes under pression or temporarily if I blow in it (but after a little it locks again).
I searched in settings an options to deactivate it but I really can't find it..
Can you tell me where I can find the option to turn off the proximity sensor, please?
And is there any way to fix this problem eventually? However I'd be happy if I can just deactivate the sensor..
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm having a strange issue with my G4 H815, and I hope someone here can help!
The problem is that the phone won't rotate the screen when you rotate the device, and then the touch screen will not work. I must turn the screen off and then on again in order for the touch to work. But it will stop working as soon as I tilt the device (activate the gyroscope to rotate the screen). After some time this will force phone to restart and then it finds hard to boot up again.
I think it's gyroscope because the problem happens when I turn the device on the side for eg. when I open camera everything is OK but if I try to take a landscape photo it will immediately freeze. And I also did the testing procedure (277634#*#) when I test the motion sensor gyroscope values hardly change. Also in Settings>Display>Motion Sensor Calibration I get and error "Cannot Calibrate"
My questions are:
Where is gyroscope located?
Is it part of mb (soldered to the mother board)?
Does the screen digitizer affect gyroscope function? (because the glue on the top of my screen has come loose but I don't see it affecting anything other then proximity sensor).
