So does anyone know where exactly is the proximity sensor is on the TMOBILE TOUCH PRO 2. theres a website with some cool skins for the Tmobile version of the TOUCH Pro 2 and they have a cutout for it on the top right corner of the earpiece and i was telling them its not there and that its on the left side of the earpiece but i want to know where exactly is it at.
Its on the left side of the ear piece. You can test it by making a call, then put your finger near the left side, above the screen...the screen will shut off.
thanks man i was trying to tell the people at the site that its on the left side of the earpiece and they said their research and development team said its in the top right corner...
i went online and someone mentioned that the exact spot of it is just to the right of the "C" of the htc logo near the top of the phone.
Yep, right behind the HTC logo on the top left of the face of the phone. The sensor on the far left of the earpiece is the ambient light sensor.

no problems here im just perplexed at the moment
okay this is insane how the heck does my phone know to turn of the screen when im in a call, ONLY when my head is close to it, i held the phone completely still and when i put my head close to it the screen turned off but when i moved away the screen turned on, though it was the accelerometer at first but now i dont know!
It's called a proximity sensor.
HTC and others have put this in many phones to turn the screen off when placed near your head, so you dont press buttons with your ears.
These things will probably do everything for you 5 years from now.
Just place your finger over the top of the phone screen and do it yourself. lol
The proximity sensor is located under the glass in the upper right corner of the phone, above the screen. There's also a light sensor. You can see them if you shine a bright light.

Hey guys,
I've been staring at the top right of the Galaxy S wondering what the two small holes are beneath the screen (just about a centimeter left of the ear piece), it almost looks like a hidden LED, but I can't be sure... Does anyone know?
Zas.
proximity sensor?
Yeah, proximity sensor and light sensor, just found the details after running through the rather bland documentation.
when i leave my g2 to sit with the lcd on , the soft keys and keyboard backlight cut back on when i wave my hand across the top , is this because of the light sensor ...
Yes, it's your hand blocking the light
im not making the light cut off thats my settings for it to go off if not used for a min. but if i was to wave my hand over it awakes the lights
...im not holding my hand over it at all just a wave of the hand
It's probably registering input from the proximity sensor. Just a guess.
Coming from an S3, I was looking forward to Moto Display and hoping it would work flawlessly enough to compensate for the lack of a notification LED. Unfortunately, I'm not totally satisfied.
It looks to me like there are 3 IR sensors: top right, bottom right, and bottom left. The top right sensor seems to work as it should; waving my hand over that portion of the phone lights up the display about 90-95% of the time. However, the bottom sensors are worrying me. The faint red light is visible emitting from the bottom left sensor, but not the bottom right one (assuming both are IR sensors). Worse yet, even though light is visible from the bottom left sensor, waving my hand repeatedly over that area lights up the display only about 10% of the time.
In summary: waving over only the bottom portion of the phone fails to activate Moto Display well over 50% of the time. I have to target the upper right corner, and even then there are occasional misses.
Does this sound normal, or like a defective unit? What an annoyance -- I don't really want to return it just because of this, but Moto Display should not require effort to activate, in terms of targeting a specific corner of the phone (and having to wave multiple times on occasion).
I cannot satisfactorily answer your question, I just wanted to +1 your experience with my own. My Moto X Pure behaves the exact same as you describe above. Would also like additional confirmation as to whether this is "normal."
Mine works fine and both of the bottom ones faintly glow red.
Mine is the same as above, I can see all three emitters glowing.
AFAIK there are three emitters (one at the top and two at the bottom) and only one sensor (at the top) so if you're moving your hand over the bottom of the phone it would have to be further away or angled towards the top to bounce the IR to the sensor.
If you can only see two that might be an issue though.

THANK YOU -- this is accurate and very helpful. It had never occurred to me that the bottom two were simply emitters. Angling my hand up toward the top of the phone as I move it over the bottom area works at a much higher rate than before.
It does seem that my bottom-right emitter may be inactive, which might explain why I have a slightly tougher time activating MD reliably than I've seen in review videos. But knowing how to angle the hand has increased my success rate enough that I'm not going to worry about it.
Anyone else having an issue with the screen remaining off during a phone call? Screen won't come on during the call, won't even come on from the power button being pressed... So I basically can't even hang up a call on my end without rebooting...
Let me guess: you have a screen protector on the phone that doesn't have the proximity sensor cutout (below the right side of the top speaker)

I'm also having the same problem. Yes I've applied screen guard. But it has nothing above the display. Proximity is very far from the screen guard layer.

I'm having the same problem. Mine did have a cut out but its in the wrong place. If you put a light onbylur screen when it's off you can see where you sensors are. For now I use power button ends call until my new screen protector comes with the right cut out! You do can turn that on it accessibly
