Need help on disable proximity sensor TP2

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.

how to calibrate the proximity sensor?

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

Proximity Sensor Broken

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.

[Q] Proximity Sensor issue

Hi everyone, I owe an Xperia Zl and I have a faulty proximity sensor, the issue is noticeable when I make a call, the screen goes black before I put the phone to my ear and stays black as long as the call is going, the screen stays black even after the call ends, I have to push the power button to turn the screen back on.
I entered the service tests with the code *#*#7378423#*#* and the proximity switch is always on, what I noticed is when I squeeze the screen near the proximity switch it works just fine.
Have anyone of you run into this problem and is there a solution to it? I was wondering also is there a proximity sensor calibration menu like the one in Xperia Z Ultra ? you can see it in youtube search for "Smartphone Proximity Sensor (Xperia Z Ultra)".

Hi,
there is something new with my problem, last night I mistakenly flashed a rom reserved for Xperia Z (eXistenZ v4.3.5 ) and to my surprise the proximity sensor was working fine, I did all the possible tests and it was working perfectly, I had to switch back to a rom for Xperia ZL as I noticed that the battery was draining very fast, screen even turned off stayed lit, and I can't control brightness level,etc...and a bunch of others compatibility issue.
So I guess that there's an issue with the calibration of the proximity sensor, I'm not a developer but the proximity sensor code in the rom of Xperia Z works perfectly for my Xperia ZL, I don't know how to exploit this and solve this problem, if anyone is willing to help I'll be more than happy.
thx guyz.

Anyone please help !!!
