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.
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 everyone, I have issue with proximity sensor, when the autobrightbess is off during incoming or outgoing call, the display turns off with delay (after 3 seconds i put the phone on ear), if i turn on autobrightness proximity sensor works properly and display turns off immediately, tried to calibrate in hw test and in other programms from play market, no result. Does anyone face such issue. Can i fix it or thi is hardware problem.
No such issue here, try factory reset or update if you are not in latest firmware
Proximity sensor is not working at all in my Redmi Note 8 Pro. Screen remains always on during calls. I have tried to calibrate it through CIT menu but the value remains to 5.0 even hovering over it. Please, help !
Unfortunately I have the same problem, rotating the phone horizontally and back vertically sometimes helps to automatically turn off screen during calls... or... pressing power button :/
For me sensor problem "only" occurs in 50% of connections
Hi
I have a proximity sensor issue. Firstly, there is no longer an option to turn off the proximity sensor in the Phone app setting>incoming call setting page. According to online posts this is the way to overcome the blacked out screen during a voice call. Also tried doing the proximity sensor test under CIT but the phone does not initiate any test.
Does anyone have the same issue and ways to overcome it?
Thanks
Rod
My wife's Ginkgo (Note 8), too... :crying:
Seems that latest MIUI Global 11.0.9.0 solved the proximity sensor issue.
