It might be part of the sensor that's loose.

hi guys, I have a problem, my screen keeps doing this thing where it stops working, it looks like the device has crashed, but all the buttons work fine. the touch sensors for the screen works about 30% of the time. I've just figured tho that if I twiddle the screen a little it works again. but does it again soon after.
does this sound like it needs to go back to shop for repairs? does it sound broken?
please give your replies.
I have a similar problem with the screen:
- Sometimes (once or twice a day) the Universal does not accept touch screen input.
- Then I twist the screen back and forth.
- After this touch screen works again.
How can avoid this?
BTW, is there a method to physically fix the screen in landscape?
I only use the Universal with the screen oriented in "Laptop" Mode.
I have bought a new housing for my Uni off ebay and replaced my old one. Everything went smoothly but now the screen won't rotate from lanscape to portrait automatically when I flip the screen, neither will it turn on/off the display when opened/closed.
Any ideas how it works to see if I can rectify the problem?
Thanks
Thanks everyone for looking. I have managed to figure it out. In case someone else ever has the same issue, a small magnet is responsible for the screen rotation. It is located near the front camera as can be seen in the picture.
Thanks a lot, I have the same problem so I will check if this works for me...
Did you solved the problem of turn on/off the display?
The magnet is also responsible for the display turning on and off. If you have both issues, you need a magnet
Thanksssssss

You are welcome guys. Hope this will work for you too.
Hi all again,
I must saw I've NEVER had to do so many posting for a single phone... anyway.
I just updated my Leo to 1.61 via a tortuous goldcard process and the proximity sensor is still not working correctly My wife is the main user of the phone and I was watching her while on a call- the screen was on and off like some demented Xmas lights.
I have a theory regarding the problem. It's only my wife who has the problem with the phone, it's seems ok with me (but I don't use it as much!). The phone is very wide, and the proximity sensor is not central. I think that the sensor is missing her ear (she has small ears!). The gap between her ear lobe top and her head is too great for the sensor. I tested the sensor gap with my thumb and it seems to be around 1cm to activate.
The hardware solution is either move the sensor so it's central (that's not going to happen soon) OR increase the sensitivity of it.
Does anyone know how to change the sensitivity of the sensor OR anyway to completely disable the touch screen during a call.
Hmm I can not believe that, I've tested my sensor:
It put the lights out if i come closer that 1,5 cm next to the screen during a call. So it think this is not the source of your problem.
But: I'm running a 1.48 rom...
I had the proximity sensor behaving eratically upon installing a screen protector. Even though I installed the original HTC screen protector which has 2 holes to position exactly over the sensors but even then I had problems. Ever since removing the screen protector everything is okay again.
Just thought if your problem also coincides with installing a screen protector.
Regards
The problem occurs when your hair overlaps the proximity sensor, the light immediately comes on. Stick the phone back to the ear and the proximity sensor works perfectly on time.
p.s. ive long hair and I too faced this problem and figured it out by running a few test as mentioned above ;-)
Hope this helps.
well, I'm having the same problem and It's not caused because of my hair. it just sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. the test I make is using the palm of my hand. if during one call It's not working, it won't work no matter what you do. then if I make a call and its working, I can turn on and off the screen placing my hand in front of the sensor..

I reckon you clear the area around the receiver and try doing a hard reset.
CAUTION: Take an individual back of your data rather than doing a full backup using some software.
same problem
Hi, I have the same random proximity sensor bug problem. During call accidental hang-up happens every day. I have short hair and no screen protector. Is there any solution for this yet? thanks.
I wrote to HTC already, but they claim there is no problem reported. Sory for my English.
Had a similar problem. My proximity sensor is now working fine. Install the 'Proximity Sensor for Screen Off v0.2' cab. Search the forum for the thread.
thanks for tip, hope this little app will "evolve"...
hi,
i had the problem with the proximite, that it is only working when the phone is in portrait mode. when im incall and portrait i can put my finger to the sensor and it is working perfect. when i rotate the display to landscape the sensor does nothing and the display stays on. unfortunatly i turn the phone sometimes on the way to my ear, and so the screen stays on.
i will try now the mentoined .cab and see what it does for me.
regards mad
i think my proximity sensor is too sensitive because it ONLY works normal when i am outdoors at direct sunlight, but even when my shadow drops on the sensor it locks the screen, also in shade or in well lit indoors my proximity sensor doesnt work properly either.
i want to know if there is a way to change the SENSITIVITY of PROXIMITY SENSOR at will? i removed the screen protector so there is nothing on the way of the sensor.
also during a call pressing hardware buttons doesn't bring the device back from standby, hardware buttons are lit for a split second and nothing happens. is there any way to use the hardware buttons (except "end call" button of course ) during the call to turn the screen on?
t-mobile us hd2's proximity sensor works fine but mine has a problem, see the video here;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKCRqFYtLMs
thnx for your help..
Any idea?
Any idea? Does anyone have the same issue? Plz it's a very irritating problem I couldn't find a solution..
I havent own HD2, but eventually I will get it this year.. So, I wondering why you removed screen protector? because of sense Ui wont work with screen protector?
I removed the screen protector because I thought that it blocks the proximity sensor and cause it to malfunction, I searched the forum and some people had the same problem but solved it by removing the screen protector. But it didn't work in my case so I'm looking for a solution.
As you can see on the video the proximity sensor works normal under direct sunlight when i move it to the window, in the room it somehow doesn't work correctly..
(english is not my native language so pls excuse me)
Thank you
Thank you for your creativity with subtraction
Sorry for disturbing again but my problem is killing me i am desperate to find an answer could you pls at least share some ideas or recommend something to do?
İ emailed HTC for the issue and waiting for an answer, if you have any idea pls feel free to share i'm stuck with this annoying problem, thnx..
HTC's response
I do apologize there is no way to change the sensitivity of the proximity sensor on your device. You can try a soft reset by pressing the reset button on the back of the device. If that does not resolve the issue then you may want to do a hard reset on the device. Hard resetting the device will clear off the device and reset everything back to factory settings. You will want to back up your information from the device before doing the hard reset. If the hard reset does not resolve the issue then I suggest contact our support department..........

I guess I'ıı have to get the proximity sensor changed..
I searched eBay for a replacement but couldn't find it there are proximity sensor replacements for iPhones, I wonder if the iPhone's and HD2's sensors are the same?(probably not but I just want to be sure)
Hi a have the same problem. Did you found the solution?
well the promicity censor has nothin to go with light or shadows..it could be a glitch in the Radio or ROM try using a new radio or ROM
Hi all!, I would like to coment this issue and ask if anyone experimented this, my little son smash with a spoon my x compact and cracked the screen, I replaced twice the screen and tested 3 diferents proximity sensors (cable flex) already and still i'm having this issue.
any comments or help will be very appreciated
regards from chile!

i recently replaced the lcd and also have the same issue. It detected that my screen is covered so i can't hang on a call because the screen wont turn on.
but suddenly it works when i cleanup the screen with a damp cloth. but sometimes it doesnt work.
I know this thread is super old, but before I start a new one on exactly this - I had to disassemble my phone to replace the audio jack, and since then, my proximity sensor won't work at all. I double checked the flex cable and plug, tested the sensor outside the phone, still nothing. It ONLY works if I put sth white or metal-like exactly 2 mm away from the screen, no nearer, no further. Its super strange and annoying. Was anybody able to solve this?
Edit: LED and ambient light sensor (which is exactly the same sensor) are working! And before the sensor stopped working I did not even touch it at all!
