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 ?
regards nolan
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.
Hi All,
I suspected i break my Proximity Sensor in a fall, and while dialling using stock dialer, the screen goes black instantly.
I installed "Android Sensor Box" and confirmed my proximity sensor is indeed broken, i.e. jammed at zero value.
After few read-ups i decided to install Hardware Disabler, since yesterday have been randomly checking drivers and reboot, use the problem persists.
Seeking help if anybody can enlighten me on the driver name for Proximity Sensor.
Thanks in advance.
Hello all
I have replaced a broken touchscreen with the new one (bought on ebay). Everything seemed to be working fine but when I make a call or someone is calling me I see a black screen as display is turned off (just like it does when you put your smartphone to your ear).
I tested all sensors and saw that proximity sensor is always showing "0" so I can understand why display is turned off. It just thinks that it's closed by something
Can someone tell me how this could be? As I see there are 2 sensors on the one cable: Light and proximity. Light sensor is working ok, but proximity is always showing zero "0". Can someone tell me is this a common situation while replacing a touchscreen (could I just break the sensor somehow) or I might missed some details while i replaced this touchscreen?
Can I test the sensor somehow without touchscreen? (pull it off the touchscreen and try to close/open it by the hand?)
I'm having Proximity sensor issue. It is always on, during phone calls, not able to accept the calls as screen goes blank. Any way to solve this?
When my partner is using the phone in call on the call screen it randomly blinks on on and off constantly making it difficult to activate speaker or hangup.
Tried clearing all apps relating to the phone, calls ect and even recovery system cache.
Android 10 Oneui2 is this a bug or an isolated issue?

Thank you, worked out the problem, she has a magnetic back case and it is lipping over the little proximity sensor slightly. Need a piece shaving off the case.
