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?

Hi
light functionality would not solve the problem regarding proximity sensor - its 2 different matters unfortunately

Called today helpdesk with same problem, cant be turned off , must go for a repair.
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 there,
I've been investigating the broken proximity sensor issue with the i9000. It seems to be a very common problem, not being clear if it is a software or hardware issue.
To make things short the problem is that the proximity sensor (also the light sensor) always measure a 0, making the phone believe it is on one's face and so turning off the screen. That makes it impossible to hang or dial numbers.
It shouldn't be too hard to build a hacked phone.apk (for firmware 2.3.4 JVQ version) with the proximity sensor input disabled, so that the screen wouldn't turn off. Using other market applications it is possible to lock the screen while in a call to avoid unwanted pressed buttons while in a call.
This will help a lot of users with bricked phones willing to donate .
Thanks in advance,
Alfonso
Hi
i have a H818N G4 variant - v10c firmware
i have checked in Settings/Call/Common - Silence incoming calls
but it's not working ...
This is common issue or only in my phone ?
PS. Now I noticed that only works if i flip phone down and proximity sensor is activated.
So that this work is necessary to have two conditions:
1. flip phone with face down
2. proximity sensor covered
It;s not like other phones (samsung - wich i haved before) where is necesary only to flip phone to silence.
Hi,
I have a strange problem. My LG-G3 (D855) screen, running on Android 6.0, does not turn on during a call.
It is working fine otherwise.
I entered the secret menu, and applied the proximity / ALC under HW test. Apparently, the sensor is locked to "NEAR" state.
How do I recalibrate it? Is it a Marshamllow issue? Is there any volunteer who can test this setting on his/her device?
There has been a few people with this issue that ive seen common fix is clean the prox sensor. Some screen protectoers interfere
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).
