I recently read on gsmarena that the touch hd has a proximity sensor for auto turn off.
is this true?
if yes, could we use this sensor to automatically answer a call for example
maybe we can add to the sensory sdk of koushi a class for the proximity sensor.
just a thought

I'm guessing that the "proximity" sensor that has been discussed is actually the light sensor beside the earpiece. This can be used to turn the backlight off when applied to your ear during a call. using this as a means to asnwer a call would not be reliable, and what would happen if the phone is in your pocket etc etc.

i think is just like the iphone when u place it next to ear the it goes off to save battery ?
It doesn't work like the iPhone.
The HD, like all the devices using a Qualcomm chip, is just switching off the screen when a call starts, the phone next to the ear or not. It just doesn't use the light sensor at all during a call.
I asked for a soft that permit the use of the light and G sensor during a call to switch off/on the screen. You'll find more info here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451456

Proximty and resume
The proximty sensor will turn off the screen when places the phone next to your ear. I guess this help to prevent accidental touch on buttons. However, I have a problem with my new Touch Pro2:
When the phone is placed away from your ear, the screen will go back to home instead of previous phone dial pad. When I listen to my voice mail or join a conference, a lot of navigation is needed in order to dial the command buttons.(press a 7 for next, or # for ....)
Any chance to make the screen resume at previous location? My first improvement suggestion to HTC.
Concerning this sensor, funny I thought it was some myth as mine never seemed to work or only half assed. Then after flashing many diff roms and settling on the "energy" Rom I see that much to my pleasent surprise it works perfect, just as intended. This is a fantastic feature and my first device it has actually functioned properly on.

hi
yeh there is a setting somewhere that lets you go straight to home when you turn the device on instead of loading the screen it was already on.
its set to default but you can change it.
i forgot what the app was called though, i think it was possibly an option in hd tweak or something
THERE IS NO proximity sensor in touch hd
However I've been told that "Touch Incall Screen Tweak" does beautifully on the HD and probably it's what you´re asking.

From what I've been reading spec wise I believe your correct, but I cannot explain then why when I make a call with the HD up to my ear the screen goes dark then when I pull it away to input a number from the kp it lights up. Is it the light sensor then? I'll check in the NRG energy ROM forum and search for some info as I'm running his ROM. I love this feature btw and have not noticed it in any other ROM I've tried.

That's "Touch Incall Screen Tweak" in action!
Thanks for the response. Works a treat.
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the proximity sensor.
It's proving a problem for my wife who uses the phone. When she's on a call the phone is intermittently sensing if she's holding it to her ear.
Hence being a capactive screen, when her cheek brushes the screen during a call the other end either hears DTMF or gets cut off by it touching the end call.
I called her yesterday and kept getting random DTMF digits sent to me, then I got sut off.
I was watching her use the phone and the screen was de-activiting (correctly going blank) for part of the call then coming back on, this would happen several times during one call.
Is this a hardware issue or software bug. Has anyone else suffered this problem?
Also happened to me a few times touching end call wih my cheek, really annoying.
Anyone else having the same problem with the proximity sensor intermittently not working during a call?
I had that problem on the old 1.43 ROM but it was fixed when I upgrade to 1.48.
I have this problem and I constantly have to call back and say sorry to my customers and blame it on the phone...
I have reported several errors to HTC and all i get back is "Take it to the retailer and get it changed, it must be a hw error", annoying as hell
1.48 not yet official in sweden.
TouchLockPro
You can try TouchLockPro, it has an InCallTweak, using the GSensor. Searching for accessing programmatically the Proximity Sensor though, for more options (e.g unlock by Proximity Sensor). It works on HTC Leo, people confirmed.
Thanks ZuinigeRijder.
I've tried the software and I think it might work.
I loaded the software and it worked without any further config I presume that is currect.

Indeed, TouchLockPro detects itself the available sensors and uses the available ones. Of course you can configure detailed things (via pressing the BattClock), but the defaults are already the sensible ones
Thanks again ZuinigeRijder.
Just been doing some more testing and occasionally the screen flashes on for a brief moment during a call. Could it be the proximity sensor trying to turn on the screen? Or is it the G sensor not being very accurate?
In the application is there a way for me to adjust the G-Sensor angles that activate the screen off? i.e. 45+ Degrees activate ??
Or are there any other adjustments I could make during testing??
I found one more problem... I checked it several times....
If u make a call using portrait orientation of phone app (Rotated using BSB Tweak). Proximity sensor doesnt work at all.... i made a while lyin on the bed and no matter wat i tried it wasnt turning off the screen....
Then i kept it in portrait position for a few seconds den proximity started working again...
Is there anyone who can confirm me with this problem.... or is this issue only with my HD2
hi all,
i have Some problem with the proximity sensor.
when i lanch a call, first i put the phone near My head, the phone goes black,
but 2 seconds after, when It start tonning (ringing in the speaker) the phone wake up.
if i put It off and back It goes off.
but when the person answer, It's the same thing, the phone wake up. and i must put It off the head and back.
if i dont do this i cut All people 3 or 4 times.
if i receive a call, no problem.
i know some people have already post same problem with proximity sensor, but nobody explain it.
if someone can help me to fix it.
(sorry for my English )
im sorry but I really need help
Hi ! I`m so sorry but I cant help you. The proximity sensor did act strange on me with no obvious reason and I was forced to hard reset ...
Cordialement ,
Sergiu
Even if i hard reset, there is no change.
If i call someone, on each step the phone switch on :
when start ringing ... and after when the person answer ...
is there a registry to edit, or maybe a ROM update ?? im in 1.43
But if i update the ROM i'll loose my orange tv player app
You may try to flash another ROM at your choice ...
I know this might sound a strange question, but do you have long hair?
I only ask as this issue has been raised by a few other people, and most of them have said it either happens with their girlfriends (who have long hair), or that they have long hair.
I have short hair and I literally couldn't be more impressed with the proximity sensor.
lol, no ...
i' ve short hair.
i tried with the finger hidding the proximity sensor, and i can see when the phone start ringing it wake up, and the same thing when the person answer, or answering machin.
so it's a software problem.
i tried to update the ROM, and it says it can't update
maybe because i'm on French Orange ROM .
i'm sure if i can update with RUU rom, it will work fine after
I have this problem occasionally. It seems the proximity sensor somehow cooperates with G-sensor, because last time I had this problem I was lying in bed while calling, and screen simply did not turn of. But when I turned the phone vertically, and back, it started to work. Very strange.
so i upload the ROM to an officialy 1.48 (i have no orange rom and app now)
but still the same problem.
the phone goes black, but wake up when start ringing, and same when the person answer the call
i need help, because each time i cut always the call if my hear touch "end call".
now to keep the call i put it back from my head and back to when start ringing, and i do the same 5 seconds later when the person answer.
and after its ok, the phone stay off
i love this phone, but i'm sad
I guess it's a bug HTC will have to fix at some time. I've read it can happen to all ROMs.
But for the meantime, there's a workaround. You can install S2U2, it's a nice program. and one of its features allows you to choose "blank screen on talk". Never fails. Try it. No more accidental button clicks.
Thx a lot i'll try it (try to find it before )
maybe someone can make a soft to have a slide to unlock while calling ??!!
but i'll try your soft and tell you
same problem with my hd2....despite I tryied several rom on several build.
just a hint: don't activate "sms wakeup" (BSB allows that), because if u receive a message during a call, display will activate again!
It's a big issue, coz I cut many calls or I push buttons during a call...
I need a cab to lock the screen during a call!
ok i try S2U2, but difficult to configure...
always the same thing.
i found that not all numbers bug !!
i try a friends and all is ok, but my wife or my mother or others it bug
i dont know why some work and other not
i some one can help me trying configure S2U2 ???
or a cab just maybe to slide unlock while calling, something like that.
are we only 2 with that bug ????
it's not about the number u call, it's about simple casistic! try to recall the same number once the black screen doesn't work...try and it's gonna work! it's how sensor application works....just when it wants!
everythin was right with the resistive screen, but the capacitive one needs to a different lock.
i test sevral times on the sames numbers.
always my friend number 1 work nice, and all others not
it's very strange !
after call, press windows key and then lock pad.... I am doing this now cause of occasional problems....
yep, its a way...
but it's so strange.
i see when i try to call a home phone all is ok.
and some operators just bug the proximity sensor !!??!!??
So strange.
i just try another rom (an english one) but the same thing
and i have some trouble to make a god configuration for S2U2
so still no solutions... thats too bad
Hi all,
I come back to you to explain the situation now.
I call the orange center for smartphone, and i explain my troubles, it was last thursday.
So they change my phone last friday.
I tried directly, and exactly the same problem.
i called them again, and explain again, then they change it an other time.
This morning they come change it for the 2nd time, i try directly again,
then the same thing. alwayes the same problem.
so i call them again, and they say someone call me in this week to talk about the trouble.
i try other orange sim card, and same problem.
so in all my contact list, i've only 2 numbers which there is no trouble.
For all others numbers, the phone wake up each time.
PS : the orange service has nobody instead of me who have this trouble
anyone have a solution ????
proximity problems
Hi,
i also have the proximity sensor problem (or rather wife has)
HTC HD2 on UK o2 operator ROM
as i said, wife has a problem of screen activating during calls, it has not happened to me yet ?
noticed she always holds the phone to her left ear (wont change sides she says), i hold it to the right ear !
really need a fix for this as she threw it at me tonight as she cut off a really important call ! !
After two weeks testing I found out that the original screen protector with the two holes for the sensor makes the problems!!!
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC Legend:
When calling someone often the proximity sensor activates before I put the phone on my ear and the screen goes off but when I try to turn it on again there is no key active and the phone seems to be not responsive for a while.. Sometimes I need to take the battery out to restore it.
Please note sometimes it works correctly, sometimes not. Also I am not using any protectors.
This is a big issue because the phone becomes unusable very easy on an outgoing call. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the Software version or it's a hardware issue. And are there any apps that can solve this?
Thank you
Hello, I want to know how to disable a light sensor? When I changed the broken touchscreen for my phone (htc hd mini) I broke the light sensor and it doesn`t work now. On the call my screen goes black and can`t end call or other things. I have tried many programs (advanced configs or sth like this, htc tweaks for diamond and HD, but it doesn`t solve my problem). Maybe is it possible to uninstall the drivers for the light sensor? Please help me! :\
Black screen during call (near your ear) has to do with proximity sensor, not light sensor.

and if that is the case, then it is normal because this is one of the intuitive feature of htc hd mini. Check the youtube channel of htc.

hi! i find solution from another forum
In the registry... HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin Change the value of "Enabled" from 1 to 0. That brings back the default WinMo dialer. You also lose the proximity sensor capabilities as well. (as that is associated with the HTC software side of things) So unless you have a S2U2 type program that disables the screen during a call, it will remain active.
buy new one freind
My Vodafone HTC mini does not have this problem. It is perhaps a problem of the free devices?
