Proximity sensor - doesn't seem to be working - HD2 General

I there any settings or something to adjust proximity sensor? I was trying to turn off screen covering sensor with thumb, but.. no effect.
Does it need any setting or my phone is faulty?

I noticed the same thing on my phone today.
The proximity sensor doesn't work if you've switched off the Automatically adjust backlight option in Settings>Sound & Display>Backlight. There doesn't seem to be any way around this as the proximity sensor doesn't have its own option.

Are you in a call? You need to be calling/receiving a call for it to work.

I agree, I think you need to be in a call for the proximity sensor to work properly.

For me it works fine. And i don´t hade automatic backlight on.

That's interesting because I can toggle my proximity sensor (whilst in a call) by toggling the automatic backlight. That option must be linked to something else as well.

Screen goes black
I do have the same behavior, when I make a call the phone's screen goes black automatically so if I need to press any key have to press send to get my screen back, then use the keypad, nonsense, is anyone having the same issue ?

for me, the proximity sensor doesn't work at all. I have the automatic backlight setting and yet it still doesn't work. any idea why?

SP300
I just found the solution, I have got the screen protector on "The Original HTC SP300" and is causing the screen to go blank when you do a phone call, If a remove it a little bit from the top left corner and make a call works as spec.

Help on Keyboard backlight on/off

Another body here notice that when you check the box to turn on backlight sensor of the keyboard, actually it disable the function. However, when you uncheck the box saying turn on backlight sensor of the keyboard, this function works whenever you touch a key in a dark area.
Just want to know whether there is something wrong with my machine or a bug in WM5, or mechanical problem when the machine was manufacture.
My backlight's always on with the checkbox...
Otherwise the light sensor kicks in to detect background light levels I think.

Thank you for your reply. My problem has been solved.

Proximity problem

Hello,
I have bought myself a diamond touch 2, and i directly flashed it to Dutty's R6 rom because i like it much better and i made up my mind about it even before i bought it.
Now i seem to have a problem, and i don't know what would be the problem; either the device or the rom?
Proximity doesn't work; setting automatic backlight dimms the screen to a low-light level. Holding a flashlight above it doesn't make any difference.
Also, when making a call, the display keeps being illuminated the whole time, no matter if i hold it to my ear or not.
Does someone recognize this problem?

Settings\System\Power\Backlight\ Turn off Auto adjust.
If i turn off auto adjust i can indeed set full brightness, but that's not the point. I want the auto-dimming and proximity sensor to work, so when i hold the piece next to my ear it locks and turns off the screen...
If I turn on auto-adjust, it doesn't respond on any lightchange or action; it just dimms the screen to about 40% and keeps it there.. either a bug or a hardware fault with my unit?
Not sure that it ever worked perfect out of the box.
Have you tried tweaking the settings with TD2 Tools?
How do you mean tools? As far as i know i can only find one box to turn auto adjust on.. you have the same configuration, does it work for you?
EDIT: I installed the app "LumosWizard". Now the phone's backlight adjusts depending on the light the sensor receives. The sensor works well as the values go up when putting a flashlight on it.
However, i wonder why this doesn't work with just auto-adjust on, that's what the HTC Auto-Backlight should do right? Also, with this app, the backlight doesn't go out when no light is reveived (auto-lock when putting into pants, or turned off backlight when calling...) ?
This is what i'm looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xakUmz1zwc
=> i don't think this is achieved by an additional application, but is just standard HTC service doing this because of putting on the auto-adjust...
There is NO proximity sensor on Touch DIAMOND II. Only light sensor. Use Touch_InCall_Screen_Tweak instead. This program use G-sensor and block the screen when your phone is in vertical position.

Thanks, installed and works good!
Still wondering though why i need a 3rd app like LumosWizard to make the lightsensor work, as htc's autoadjust apparently doesn't
I did find this .cab called Glight and it works great on my TD2

Proximity and light sensors.

I've been having an issue with both the proximity sensor and the light sensor. If I press the phone against my face it'll start pressing numbers or disconnecting calls (screen won't turn off due to the sensor not working) and the light sensor doesn't affect the illumination levels on my screen and buttons; actually the only way to make my buttons light up is manually changing the brightness (both screen and buttons) but after locking the phone and waking it back up the buttons stay unlit.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm not sure if I've been having it after flashing CM9 or after my phone got a bit wet. I took the phone apart to check if something was wrong with the sensors (obstruction, dirt, corrosion, etc) but couldn't find anything.
Also, I downloaded "Sensors List" from the Play Store and both sensors are not detected.
Any ideas?
Idea...
About button light... Is your display brightness set to Auto? If not, set it to auto and your buttons will be fine.
I just tried doing that and it didn't worked, not even completely removing the screw. I guess the sensors got damaged with water (if they can be damaged that way). Oh, and setting the brightness to Automatic doesn't do anything either.
Thanks a lot though.

proximity issue on stock rom gs4?

Recently, my phone has been having a problem with the proximity sensor during calls. When I finish a call, or want to look at my screen, the screen does not turn on by itself so I need to press the home button for the screen to light up. This is very annoying! I even turned off the option "Turn screen off during calls" (which is supposed to leave my screen lit up all the time) and the screen still goes black.
is it a software issue or hardware?
additional info : it works when i use my fone in a room {proximity ADC 43(43,43,43) } or building, but doesn't work while using outside {proximity ADC 51(51,51,51) }.
