i recently took a nap with my phone in my pocket and woke up with a cracked screen. i have only had the phone less than a month but htc says they only cover software related claims. i actually am able to use alot of the functions of the phone without any touchscreen at all thanks to the OK button which will close out any window... My problem is when i go to camera mode the only way to turn on the lighting is to touch the button on the screen which i am not able to do anymore so is there a shortcut to do this or any other camera software that works with this phone because i pretty much can't take anymore pictues in the dark without it.....htc said they could replace the screen for like 167.00 but i can't dish that out at the current time.
look for TorchButton
"Description:
With G-off display you can turn off the screen by rotating and holding the phone upside down and holding it like that for a second.
To save battery while listen to your favorite music, simply point your phone downward, light off. All background processes remain.
Require G-sensor found in the latest HTC devices like Diamond / Pro / HD, etc."

Just what I need! but...
Hi
This is a nice app that i've wanted. I know I could use Changescreen as it has a similar feature, but a standalone like this is more preferable for me...
But I just can't download from Rapidshare...
Is it possible to load the .cab here since its only 345kb? or a mirror to somewhere else...
Anyways, Thanks for pointing this App out...

Same problem here. I have to kill it with task manager and run it again It's faster then softreset...
Hello
how about battery drain pls?
not working on HTC Rhodium (TP2) - also I can't see it in programs, etc. Do I need to do anything else after install?
I got a question are there any options? like on conference call (when using loud speakers - device is upside down), will it ignore the g-off? Because I am not sure what would happend if I would press POWER BUTTON in the middle of the call just to get the screen back ..
Not working in my Touch Pro, too
Using latest WinMobile 6.5.21935.
I also did a softreset after installation!

You don't see it. But it is there. Go to the Program Files and the directory with the same name. Click once on it, and tune the device upside down. It will switch it off.Not ON again.
You can link to it.

No options. no nothing! It does work on my TD 1
origin of g-off display
Beware! I am NOT the programmer. I don't know who is either. I just found it.
btw ChangeScreen has a "display off" option too.
worked on the tilt 2
it needs dot net compact framework 3.5 and then it loads on startup... closing the title bar that comes up doesn't seem to stop it from working. however, having said this, i can't say that perhaps the tilt 2 didn't have the behavior before i installed this... it took me a while to realize that upside down doesn't mean face down, which is what i had wanted. but having said that, turning it upside down works great because you can put it in your pocket upside down (which basically you might do anyway).
also, indeed, to get it back on, one has to push the power button. but that's good in case the device moves out of tolerance for downward position it won't be going on and off unintentionally--except that even after the screen is already off it will keep executing--i know this because it vibrates when the screen goes off as well, and if i take it out of upside down position and then put it back without turning screen on again, it will vibrate again. this said, walking with it in a pocket didn't seem to keep triggering it, so overall this is a really cool hack.
now for figuring out why my t2 doesn't turn its speakerphone on when placed face down during a call (i was thinking face down should always turn the screen off by way of proximity sensor--which does work on my device because during a call holding finger over ear speaker turns off the display--just doesn't turn speaker on). wait... just realized... if it did then it would have to assume that just putting it to the ear should turn on speaker. so, i'd say what we have here is a challenge... integrate the proximity sensing with the g-sensor to always turn off the display when face down on a flat, reasonably level surface-- and during a call turn on the speaker too.
if this can be done, then combined with the g-off existing functionality it'd be really sweet--i wouldn't have to turn it upside down _before_ placing it flat on a table while listening to music. and the proximity could help make it less worrysome to just automatically turn the screen back on when picked up.

sorry for the duplicate post above--tried to edit, then hit save by accident
edit... i just tried screenchange and it in theory seems to do exactly what i want, but in practice, with 2.78 and any sensitivity level and appropriate no light option checked, it turns off the display even if there is light (and lots of it to be sure). i hold the device upside down above my head and the display goes off. i'm not covering the proximity sensor. my proximity sensor does work when in a phone call. i tried rebooting. i think the proximity sensor may be off somehow on my device...maybe htc only wants it on in a phone call? i will have to see if screenchange will work right with the device in a phone call... further posts will go over with screenchange.
btw, regarding the forum... its annoying that my edit made a whole new post in the first place.
cool！！！thanks
Hi Everyone,
I am actually probably 1/100 who actually likes the camera button on the vogue, because of the quick access to the camera. Despite constant accidental pressing, I still leave the button enabled so I can snap parking stall ID numbers when parking around town (www.parkplus.ca).
My problem is that usually I hit the button by accident, and the camera settings change to the crappy portrait mode instead of 2mp.
Is there any way to kill all the other camera modes, and just have it set to 2mp no matter what?
Thanks!
Hi everyone, welcome to the next thread of mine where I would like to share with you an interesting case of a'faulty' proximity sensor. The issue with the sensor started a few weeks ago (I own my defy for a few months) and the problem I had with it was that sometimes during I was making a call the screen was not being turned off, and more whats more annoying - the screen was never turned on again after finishing the call.
I do not have a screen protector and the screen glass is original.
I downloaded an application that showed the state of the sensor and after a many examinations i found out that many times the sensor does not distinguish between the states of being covered and uncovered.
I tried everything - factory reset, clean installations, different ROMs - nothing helped. The only thing that helped a little was a tweak availale in the CM7 ROM by Quarx (not available in the STABLE CM7 though!) in the screen settings menu -which forced the screen to be turned on after finihing a call, and I could also set the power button to end a call in the accessibility options. So this helped but did not solve my problem.
Fortunately, after many questions asked on so many threads, the user monecafe PMed me with a link to a video where its clrealy shown what is the problem and how easy it is to fix it!
without sayng more - here is the solution for anybody experiencing this issue:
http://youtu.be/uMk1S90MjbY
I hope this helps !
& a BIG THANK YOU to monecafe who sent me this video
this is great, very simple solution but...
how will that affect the water resistant feature of our defys?
try turning off auto-brightness
posting to say... try turning off auto-brightness (worked for me)
I used to have this problem. Stable CM7.2 solves this issue for me. I used to get the screen to turn on before by just rubbing the area with the proximity sensor with my thumb as if it was dirty.
i still have this problem. , after the Waterproof failed with my phone ( i dont leave it in water, i just wash it !! the proximity sensor failed too when i make a call screen is black cant see anything..so my question is if i change the screen touch proximity sensor work?? or its on the board ? where is the proximity sensor place?..how can i solve this problem by myself.
i saw the video but not solve the problem..
i back to stock ROM _there_ if i press power button the screen back but in coustoms ROMs the screen off not back till remove the battery!! any software make screen on at call and disible the proximity sensor ?
thank you inadvance

CAN I GET THE TECHNICAL GUIDE(MAP) OF BOARD?
I also have problems with proximity sensor. With pressure on the screen where the sensor is located it is working again.
So I can believe that changing the screw pressure might solve the problem. But what is the initial reason for this? It is not a pressure sensor!
Hello All, I've been using the proximity sensor app on my DHD for quite some time now... LOVE IT ! However, now when I open the app & tap on Start & cover the proximity sensor on the phone, there is NO RESPONSE... Meaning the msg stays FAR... It DOES NOT change to NEAR.... Can anyone help me out ? CHEERS !

The only problem is that when make a call lets say to check voicemail, the screen goes black, the proximity sensor flashes continuosly (small red flashes) & nothing i do brings the screen back unless the call ends from the other side or i take out the battery. I dont want to root my phone just yet. It uses a tmd2771 proximity sensor. HELP! anybody

Found a possible Solution suggested by a supplier on Amazon;Switch off the phone - Hold power button & volume down button
simultaneously to bootinto factory testmode - use volume swith toscroll thru to 'test report' - select with the home key - scroll down to 'PS calibration' - select it then scroll to 'do calibration' let it do the calibration till it gives OK.Go back to 1st menu & reboot.
Was only partially successful forme, it may work for you.

Is this applicable for Motorola Defy or for the Chinese clone?
I tried this on my Defy running JB 4.1.2. I cannot get into the "factory testmode" even after pressing the VOL down key at boot up.
I just get a screen with an exclamation and the android bot.
Nothing happens after that.
BTW: What size of screw driver should I use to perform the trick in the video posted by the OP.
Not applicable to original defy

Thank you for so excelent video. I have same problem but just for sometimes. I will check will this help.
Can anybody post this video on dailymotion or any other video hosting site as youtube is blocked in my country. I really would appreciate that as I am having problem with my Desire HD's proximity sensor.
hello! it's just me in the camera does not allow me to focus in the whole left side of the screen? I'll explain when I press to focus on the entire central and right out the circle of focus come and so the image is focused, while on the left, across the strip below the key settings, if I press does nothing and the circle of focus doesen't appear.I have deleted the cache of the camera and does the same problem, while other cameras like the google cam work correctly .I haven't problem to touch because it works well on any app and also in test mode. it's the same for all the note 4? also you have this problem?How i can solve it?
sorry for my veeery bad english
No one?
It seems that you can only touch to focus in the center and just beyond the center of the frame - not near those buttons. This appears very much by design, and I'm sure Sammy wanted to avoid people accidently pressing buttons when they wanted to refocus - if you need to focus on something on the edge of the screen, bring the object to the middle of your viewfinder, press and hold (to lock focus) and re-frame the shot.
Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,
Chris.
