hello,
i have a problem with the sensor during call... when i move the phone away from my head, the display stays off, so that i can't stop the call (have to take out battery to stop call).
is there a workaround for that bug? i tried switching off "proximity sensor", but doesn't help... but also i want that feature
this is the only failure of cm7 that should be solved (in my opinion) to make it the best rom for defy
thanks in advance
SensorTest and plot app will see if the sensor is working
i've testet proximity sensor with an app called "phone tester"... this app shows, that proximitysensor recognizes, that i move near to the phone, but doesn't recognize if i move away from phone... i think this is an cm7-bug, because it works with original rom...
is there a workaround? is it possible to try another proximity-sensor-driver?
which is your cm7 version?
atm: nightly-build from 5.8.11, but it was also on rc1v2...
after a deep search in xda-forum i found a solution: i touched over the sensor with little pressure and now it works
but on stock i never had to touch it... it works always on stock and sometimes not on cm7 without touching the sensor... i am confused
You could try goto settings - Acessibility - "Power Button Ends Call".
Use power button to ends call which you don't need the display to turn on for ending a call.
thats a good idea! thank you!! ... btw: that option should be in "call settings" instead of accessibility... i think no one would expect it there
There's an option in Call Settings called "Always use proximity" which may be useful, and "also Keep screen awake".... both seem relevant to your problem. In Display settings there is also "In-accurate proximity" which I would suggest is enabled....
Sensor during call works on my CM7. For information, I've manual brightness, not auto... perhaps...
It is my understanding that some gen8 devices aren't waking up from sleep when they go to sleep in a dimmer screen state. Thanks to a diligent XDA user with a 101, I was able to fix this problem.
To fix this, download SuperDim 1.51dev2 from http://code.google.com/p/superdim/downloads/list
Then go to Menu | Options, and check "Fix no-wake-from-sleep". That's all: it should now work.
My testing indicates that low brightness levels aren't enough to switch the backlight from off to on. So what the SuperDim fix option does is that when the device awakes with a low brightness setting, it first sets 22% brightness, which is enough to activate the backlight, and only then sets the desired lower brightness level.
I reported both the bug and the fix to Archos.
It might be possible to make the fix work without root if there is enough demand.
I would very much like to have a fix without having to root my 101!
I installed and to exactly what u introduced but I still have that issue now. Im realy disappointed. Is there any other methods
yes i also tested it - but somehow i didnt see the feature while waking up - but when going to sleep - this somehow is weird and useless - might be the reason for not working for others
Sleep: press power - screen gets brighter -> get darker -> off
Wake up: press power -> wake up by luck
perhaps recontact the develoeper something might be messed up
(i didnt take the version u mentioned - but the latest maket version wich is newer)
So, let me get clearer on what's happening. You have SuperDim installed, and its "fix wake from sleep" option is activated. And you're still not having the device wake from sleep when the screen is dimmed. Right?
If you can install adb on your PC, or install an ssh daemon on your device and connect to the device via ssh from your PC, you can help me diagnose the problem.
Well I hoped my explanation was clear enough - it is what u said + the point that the function u explained in post 1 doesn't happen while waking up but instead when going to sleep...
Device is on (screen is dimmed, archos option is on) -> press power -> screen gets brighter -> screen gets darker -> off
Device is in sleep -> press power -> wake up by luck
Anyway I got ssh woring thought putty(win) and UD ssh daemon.
ADB is also installed on my pc but i nerver used it
EDIT:
hey - btw i asked u for the cycle funktion some time ago and noticed u implemented it now - and a lot of other things
Thanks for that - somehow i lost track of your app since i had exams
Anyway i just noticed i have the turn-on bug also when I don't use your app sometimes... (even when the screen is not dimmed at all) so there must be another problem also i suppose
Regarding the cycle funktion i noticed a "strange" behaviour:
"night 1" -> 3x cycle -> ends in "day 2" (thast right)
but
"night 1" -> 2x cycle -> "night 1" -> cycle -> ends in "day 2" also and not in "night 2" (so it seems u forgot to ask for the current state while cycling though the modes)
anyway I would be glad if u would make a cycle+ and a cycle-

Have you tried SuperDim, now known as RootDim, and its sleep of death fix option?
I've just discovered that my gyro sensor doesn't work. I am running rooted stock 4.1.1. The phone can not detect tilt movements. And under Settings->Motion->Sensitivity settings->Gyroscope calibration, the blue dot does not move from the center, no matter which orientation the phone is held. All of the options under Motion don't seem to work. I just want to see if anybody else has the same problem before calling TMobile.
Firstly, this should have been posted in the q&a section.
And the blue circle isn't supposed to move. You lay the phone on a flat surface and it calibrates itself.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. You are right about the blue dot not moving. I downloaded a few apps that detect sensors and all built-in sensor seem to be working as they are supposed too. I have problem for example of taking screenshot with a palm wipe or zooming picture by tilting the device, muting phone by turning it over, etc. None of these features work on my phone. Will try to explore more to see what the real problem is.

Do you have the switch turned on next to motion in the settings?

Before you go off the deep end, run the test on the sensor.
in the stock dialer:
Quick Test Menu
*#7353#
select the accelerometer tester and ilt the phone whatever way you want. If the arrows don't change, then the sensor isn't working. If the Arrows do change, then all good, no panic necessary...
Good Luck
Aloha
Thank you for your help. I ran the sensor test and the sensors work. I also turned on the Motion switch but the Motion features still don't work for me. Maybe this is a software issue. I will continue to explore and will report back if I've found something.

Hi,
Please do the following:
Pull the top notification bar down by using a downward swipe.
Tap on the Toothed Wheel in upper right corner
scroll down till you see the System divider (below the Add account line)
is Motion ON on the right side of it? if not, turn it on.
Tap on the word Motion
Are any of the options you want to use set with a check in the box?
if not, put the check in whatever you want to use by tapping on the box on the right of the function.
Example:
If you want to use Palm swipe for screen captures, tap on the box on the right of the option.
the boxes toggle these options so if you want the option off, then tap on the checkmark and it'll go off.
When you're done, click on the back button on the right side of the menu bar below the screen till you get back to the homescreen.
You are done, and the selected options should now function.
simple huh?
Thank you, bobolinko. I've been doing exactly what you described and no motion feature works for me. I begin to think that my software has a problem, because it does crash occasionally and software upgrade check hangs forever in the "checking for software updates..." screen and never comes back, no matter if I am on wifi or on 4G. Let me reinstall stock firmware and report back.
Try it like this:

Also, has it EVER worked?
Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I did exactly as shown and nothing happens. I never tried Motion before until I needed to capture my screen and discovered that it doesn't work for me. In the mean time, using PWR and HOME button at the same time does allow me to capture the screen, so I don't really need Motion feature working for me. I am just thinking that my software has a problem and I will need to reinstall stock. Thanks a lot for your help in any case.

im having the same issue. tried the accelerometer test and tilt the phone every which way but the arror didnt move at all. does that mean the accelerometer is done with. any fix for it?
also tried tsp dot mode, tsp grid mode, proximity and light sensors and nothing seems to happen during the test
Hi guys!
Last month I dropped the phone in water.After that ,during a call the display is switched off and I need ti use power button to open it so I can close the call.Also, sometimes during conversations it opens setting menu or applications and I need to close them to go to the home menu.
I think this came from bad working of the sensors.
My question is : can I recalibrate them or is a hardware problem?
P.S. also since then the led notifier doesn't worked but today I had a surprise : it's working again!
Thank you in advance!
I use my phone on my bike in a holder, and when I go to unlock it says touch disable mode. I press volume up and power to disable and it never disables, and I don't see a way to disable this mode under smart assistance like there was on the previous version. I'm on Oreo. Please help a brother out!

it has to do with the light sensor being covered.
might be to do with the holder covering or partly covering the top portion of the screen

I searched everywhere for the setting to disable the touch disable mode. It looks like they forgot to add in the Oreo update. I have suggestions that you can try:
1. Press the volume up and power buttons three times to enable/disable the feature: I found this solution somewhere online but it doesn't work for me.
2. If it is possible, you can cut the part of the holder that is covering the proximity sensor. I have used CPU-Z to find out where exactly the proximity sensor is located. It is located in the space between the front camera and the earpiece.
3. Send a mail or call the Huawei/Honor support team. They might be able to help you and with a software update months later, it might be fixed.
Yeah I need this **** disabled too. I like to peek at my phone from half way out my pocket and this stupid **** always comes up.
I just found the solution. Hallelujah!
Download the Settings Database Editor app on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22
