stupid question: phone lock on call, totaly locked

Greetings,
I just bought an htc desire. I do however have BIG problem.
As soon as i call someone, the screen goes dark (read it is normal) but, i CANNOT get out of the dark screen, i cannot hang up or unlock the phone, the unlock key does nothing, nor does any other key.
Whats happening?

maybe youre holding one of your fingers over the proximity sensor left to the phone output, or your proximity sensor may suffer hardware faults

the second option really does not sound too good, for a NEW phone

is there no way to disable the sleep option on call???

I don't think there is, that is a needed function. Otherwise, you would do many things with your face over the screen.
Still, my sensor works normal. If I cover it (hand, ear or whatever at the earphone), the display goes off and locks, if I uncover it the display is on and active. And I can do this many times.

i installed "show sensors" and for the proximiti sensor (cm3602) it says reading 0.0 and accuracy high, the number NEVER changes :/

I don't think that anyone from the forums can help you, it's obviously hardware problem. Why you don't just take it to HTC for repairment/replacement?
Btw, show sensors for my proximity sensor say 1.0 when I don't touch it, and 0.0 when I place a finger on the earphone. It's too obvious that your proximity sensor is off.

looks like i have no choise, im gonna have to bring it back in and wait it comes back from support, gonna be without phone for a while :'(

Do you have a case or an "invisible" shield covering the sensor?

sadly, no, its out of the box. i dont even know where is the sensor tough

It's on the left side of the earphone
Aproximate position, not sure about the exact position.

It should read 1.0 unless the sensor is covered (moving an object over the sensor changes its value to 0), so it appears that you have a faulty device

is the support of htc any good? will i have to wait long to get my baby back? anyone knows?

I called HTC belgium this morning. They made a ticket and said ill receive an email that i have to print and give to the delivery guy tomorow with the phone, between 8 and 12 am.
Now the funny part is, I STILL DID NOT RECEIVE THE DAMN EMAIL.
I called 3 or 4 times, send 4 messages via their ticket system, gave 3 different email adresses to be sure. And i STILL DO NOT HAVE IT, its been like SEVEN damn hours...
They are one hour out of closing, and there is no way ill get it tomorow before the delivery guy comes.
I'm about to go berserk right now, is it always like that with them?

Hey,
i had the same problem that i noticed after root... have you rooted or installed different rom?? Also i send it to repair what they did was updated the rom to the newest one and and restored contacts of the sensor.... but it might be only the rom if you had flashed it. If not then you have to send it to repair or exchange it.

i did not flash it nor root it

Then its a hardware problem, maybe loose connection from the sensor, in that case either repair or exchange
I feel sorry for you... I was without the phone for about 2 weeks for exactly same issue

[Q] Calibrate Gyrometer?

I just picked up the GNex Friday and have noticed sometimes the screen doesn't rotate properly. I thought nothing of it until this morning when I had to shake it a few times to come out of portrait mode. I then went on to play some Raging Thunder (car racing game), and my car just makes hard lefts and crashes.
So I'm thinking there is something up with my gyrometer. I downloaded "Gyro 2D Visualizer" and can can confirm that the phone is off quite a bit.
Here is a picture of it on a flat surface, you can see how much it's off:

Thanks!

After your post I went to take a look with GPS Status and you were right. It's a bit off. I calibrated it right away and should be correct now.
Weird they did not add a calibrator in ICS.

Would you mind sharing how you calibrated? I have GPS Status, but I'm not sure what it wants me to do when it says "rotate your device 1-2 times around each of its 3 axes".
Also can you verify that your calibration remains after a reboot?

What you're talking about is the compass caibration. Do the following
end over end (flip); hold it with the screen up and flip it away from you making a full rotation
side over side (roll); hold it with the screen up and move it from left to right so the screen rotates left, down, up right
screen-up rotation (spin); put it on a table and spin it around
Taken from: http://androidforums.com/143593-post3.html
The 2nd one is putting your phone on the table and the pressing calibration.
Hope this helps

Ah ok, sorry for the confusion. I found the other option for "pitch and roll".
Unfortunately, loading the game yielded the same results. I tried to play Doodle Jump and I had to tilt the phone to the left to get him to bounce straight up and down.

I downloaded the gps status app and mine seemed right on, however does anyone know if this app also shows you what the barometer is reading?

AndroSensor is the only one I know of so far.

Its good to see that you guy's have solved it for your selfs.
This was one of the topics google showed me when i started having the same problem.
So now i have made a quick tutorial on how to calibrate your nexus 7.
I hope this helps many of you guy's in the near future.

[Q] How to fix gyroscope in google camera ?

I don't know if enyone encountered this but I thing there is a bug with either with gyroscope calibration / accuracy or new google camera
I recently tried the photosphere and panorama on cm11 and I noticed that direction is changing kinda random so when I took a shot it isn't aligned correctly with others and all ends up in a mess .
If google camera works well for you then how can I reset the gyroscope / compass ?

Most likely something it's wrong with gyroscope indeed . I tried other apps and like teeter or lane spliter and it's not very precise .
I hope it's not hardware fault so does anyone know a software solution to correct this ?
Any idea appreciated !

This is probably not anything to go after, but:
When I first installed the Google Camera app and tried it out, it worked as you would expect. Wasn't perfect, but definitly didn't "drift away" by itself while capturing a panorama/sphere. When I tried watching a sphere, the app prompted me to download "google services" from play store, which then let me watch the sphere.
But now I have the same problem with "drifting away" gyro, as you have.
So maybe the google services is messing with the gyro when using photo sphere/panorama.

I have the same issue. The gyro world's fine for a few seconds then it starts drifting away. I've always had this issue.

I have this problem too on S2 Plus. Trying to take a panoramic picture but the image drifts by itself to the left.

I have the same issue on my 2 years old htc one m7. Also same issue appeared on 1 month old LG G4 !!!
I take the first frame in photospere mode, and then blue dot drifts left or right.

Today I noticed interesting thing: in pthotosphere mode I took first frame and passing bus hit the shot. After that, orientation started sliding to the side where bus was going, although phone was still. So I believe its software issue of application itself. Seems that it is trying to syncronize video flow to compass and somehow fails in it...
Thats what i got

Google Maps Zooming Out Problem!

This is the first phone I've had problems with Google Maps. For some reason it's zoomed out following my route there is no say to get it closer. Ive cleared cache and data of the app. No joy. Can't think what else. Making navigation hard as can't seem to follow the route properly. Thanks

Hey, not an HTC 10 owner (galaxy s7 edge) but my google maps navigation just started doing the same thing today, it's a complete pain in the ass. Guess it's an app problem rather than your phone!
Maybe google play services has updated something and broken it!

Likewise on my LG Ultimate II, since yesterday.
I've found that the zoom-out issue only occurs when the phone is tilted (wide rather than tall), and only when "Tilt Map" is checked in the Navigation Settings. Unfortunately, that's precisely how I prefer to use it.

Hmm glad I'm not the only 1 then. Thought it was my new HTC10 being the problem.

I'm guessing it was some update which has screwed with it. Which is REALLY annoying!

I've already tried turning tilt off and on messing around with options doesn't make any difference. I always have my phone in landscape while driving. Haven't had chance to try in portrait.
I have noticed though if I'm on a long stretch of road it zooms right out then when I'm approaching hing a turning it does zoom in Abit more. But it's a stupid function.

Same here Sony Z3c, Send feedback to Google via the app, they obviously farked it up on the last update. I thought it was stuck in 2D mode, but its just zoomed out very far.
I note that as you get to junctions etc it does zoom in briefly, but then zooms out again afterwards.

I haven't had the notification pop up, but I have been having issues with the fingerprint sensor not recognizing my finger after multiple tries. It's getting pretty annoying as I have to switch hands to use my other thumb.

Don't remove fp/any security because you'll most probably have same problem. I'd try reflash firmware via odin, but can't risk losing banking apps pin's because of the current situation.

But the fingerprint is now faster than ever and the animations is also being reduced which is good.

Had the same issue,factory resetting didn't help either ,so had to reflash back to Android 9,no one seems to have an answer yet .

Have you tried some other region that people saying it's all good(eg. UK)? Register all fingers on 9, do ota on 10 and try then?
Sent from my GM1910 using Tapatalk

After the update, I removed the fingerprints, and have added them again. I couldn't add them when the environmental light levels were high or there was any shine on the screen. I'd suggest doing it in the dark if you are having issues. However, since getting the same fingerprint added in low, medium and as high light levels as I could, the fingerpint scanner is much better. Quicker to work and fails much less often. It has improved gradually over the year I've had the phone. Sorry to hear some others are having issues.

Hi. I have the same problem, how could you solve it? Thanks for your time! :good:

In order to fix this issue you need to flash android 9 via odin then register your 3 fingerprints then update to android 10 via odin without wiping data and the fingerprints will be still registered. Ive done it and it works no problem.

@The_Kernel Yes, that's the only way.. This is disappointing, i thought Samsung put their ****te together, but no.
