Call status/Light sensor issue?

As everyone may know already, while in a call when we put our ears to the ear piece the screen turns off, but when taking the phone away from the ear to look at the phone the light sensor detects it and lights up the screen.
My question is does everyone's phone go back to the TF3D homescreen when looking at the phone during a call, such as when you want to press number selections during voice prompts? Mine goes back to the TF3D homscreen everytime, and doesn't stay on the call status screen unless I physcially press the phone icon. I find this annoying especially when I need to input number selections. Anyone else experience this?

Nevermind, I found the solution and that is to turn off the password lock feature on the phone, and the phone stopped reverting back to the TF3D home screen during calls....must be a glitch...Blah...

Notifications menu pop up

Hi all,
This is probably on here somewhere but could not find it, so if i duped this issue i am sorry, but all the time when im on a call on my tilt 2, my ear must hit the notification bar and when i go to look at my phone to hang up or whatever, the notification menu thing is showing. I am ok with the notification messages when i have them just not ok with the menu opening by my ear. is there a way to disable this when im on a call or something.
I did see ways to turn of notifications, but will that disable the menu from opening?
Thanks guys,
JC

I also have this problem. Any fixes for it? Im running Stock Sprint 6.5 ROM. It's pretty annoying.

The TP 2 has a proximity sensor that should turn off the screen when it is close to your face. The screen should be blank if you bring it from your ear to look at it. Does this happen?
The screen SHOULD be unresponsive when held to the ear...

I think what happened is the phone was moved to the face too quickly before the proximity sensor can respond. I have tmo tp2 with stock wm6.5 and has the same issue.
I have used the rhodium keyboard customizer and reassigned the long hold back button to lock, so I often lock the phone before I actually put it near my ear.

Sorry for the delayed replay, what button is the long hold?

[Q] CM7 - Display stays off during call

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...

About screen turn off and on problem

Hi,
I am using Note II, stock ROM and unrooted....Only install a few apps like facebook, line, whatapps, viber, candy crush.....everything works fine....
I found a problem and hope friends here can give me some advices...
My screen turn off during answering call but sometimes the screen won't turn back on automatically when I move the phone away from ear....I have tried the following when the screen remains off:
a) open and close the flip cover
b) move the finger to cover the censor and then move away
c) shake the phone up and down
d) turn the phone back and front
All the above actions failed to turn the screen on..I have to press the home button in order to turn it on..
I already check the censor in #*0*# mode and the censor works well...
I am wondering why sometimes can work, sometimes cannot work..
anybody facing the same problem? is it software bugs or hardware failure?
Thanks for help!!
P/S:
I have done censor test in development mode, factory reset and clear call cache.....
Don't know why sometimes still failed to turn screen on....every time my wife complain the screen won't turn on, i told her to dial again, like to those customer service line which need to key-in menu selection 1-2-3-4-5, the screen turn on well to let her key in number....wired....
maybe like 70% success 30% fails...

i also get this most of the time. i talked to 2 reps at local stores and 1 had just recently heard the same complaint about the same phone. it is likely the proximity sensor.my screen even goes dark before i put it to my face so if i wanted to use speaker and / or input anything, i couldnt even if i wanted to. i have had to wait a whole minute a few times before the screen comes back on or reboot the phone. i talke to samsung tech support to ask if i send it in will the sensor be replaced with a known good part and i kinda got the runaround stock answer . ( theyll test and fix or replace with refurb) which means i am likely to get the same issue.
dunno, otherwise great device.

proximity and light sensors

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!
