Hy everybody
My X10 turns the sreen on-off when I´m calling.
It kills the battery for nothing...
Do anyone know an app to stop this ?
thx Rob
i think thats the proximity sensor patch. i was with the same problem when i had the i8910
Mod edit: not t&a related, moved to general

CONFUSED: how does turning the screen off kill the battery... wouldn't it save the battery...?
yeah i was just wondering the same thing. i thought it was to prevent any actions accidentally done by pressing against your cheeck.

Is there an app that will turn off the phone's screen when it is faced down?
I've been looking everywhere to find such and app and have not found one.
You shouldn't need a tweak to accomplish that. When you put the device face down, the proximity sensor will be blocked and will turn off your screen automatically.
(Unless you put it face down on an overhead projector surface!)

I'm no programmer but this seems like it would be relatively simple, I'm surprised it doesn't already exist (or if it does, a quick search for me turns up nothing).
it would have to use the light sensor as well as the accelerometer, though. If you ever look at your phone while laying down, the phone turning off while upside down would not be very useful

That feature only works when you are on a phone call.
It doesn't work outside of the call function unless I'm missing something. My screen definitely stays on when I put it faced down.
The reason I'm asking for an app like is is because I've been listening to audiobooks as I go to sleep. Since the speaker is on the back I leave the phone faced down on my bed. I'd like the screen to automatically turn off when I do that to conserve battery life. (I know I could just hit the power button, but I'd rather have something do it automatically).

You're right. I was assuming you were referring to an in-call scenario.

Wow I always thought gyrator was just for screen rotation, I never looked into it. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for pointing out Gyrator for this. I never thought about using it for this.
Works like a charm for what I asked.
Now if I can find something that will turn the screen back on when I flip it face up again I'd be set.
Tonight I have written a little APP that will switch off the backlight when face down and turn it back on when you flip it over.
Seems OK on my device.

Hi guys,
I dont know if this has already been discussed or if anybody has had the same problem,
The proximity sensor that is supposed to turn off the display while in call only works when i make a call. If i am receiving a call then the display stays on and i end up ending the call accidently will my cheek.
I was wondering if there is a fix or app to sort this out. I am looking for something that purely sorts this problem out and dont really want any other features etc.
Many thanks,
Loz
I cannot replicate this problem. The sensor on my HD2 works perfectly on incoming calls.
no offences but i am sort of hoping others have this problem so im not the only one lol strength in numbers and all that...
can anyone relate to the problem i have, i have searched the settings time amd time again looking for proximity settings to see if it has been disable or something
please help!
hi guys,
i am still having problems with the proximity sensor when i receive a call, can anyone help????????
thanks
There has been a few posts like this in the past, but AFAIK no-one has posted a solution or reason for it happening. I've never had any problems with the proximity sensor on my handset so can't help any either, but I would guess it has something to do with using a screen-protector or possibly the screen being full of smudges right around the sensor.
thanks for the reply
i dont think it is the screen protector im using because it works whenever i make a call, its just when receiving a call it doesnt turn off the display!
does anyone no if there is a fix or reg edit i could do to get it working again?????

Hello,
I have the same bug and I post it yesterday, the screen off when I make a call and stay on when I am getting a call.
My Rom is 1.48.405 from UK, and I have screen protection from HTC with small hole on the sensors.
also when I making a call the screen off but need to turn on when you take the phone far from your head, sometimes it is heppens but sometimes not.
kochavy
When I bought the phone it was 1.43.405 and I upgraded it to 1.48.405.
maybe this is the problem!!
kochavy
just a innocent fact.
I had noticed that when starting to make a phone call the prox. sensor turns off the display but when the connection is made (the fuzzy noise and the first beep) the displays turns on. To reactivate the prox. sens i have to move the phone from my ear and then approach it again (please forgive my bad english) and the display turn off as designed. This issue can lead to the idea that the sensor is broken or malfunction.
I hope it helped

HTC havent got back to me so i was hoing some one on here would no wat to do!
may someone can help us out?
I will wait for Rom 1.66
yeah me too hopefully that will resolve our problem
ill be checking htc website constantly until the uk rom is released
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.

Hello everybody. I have an issue with the screen wake up. I use this rom, the latest version. Everytime I end a conversation the screen is turning off. That is normal. But the problem is, I cannot wake it up afterwards. The hardkeys backlight is turning on for just a moment and off. The only solution is taking out battery and booting Android once again. I know that changing the build would might be helpful but this ROM is really fantastic and I would like to avoid changing it. Could anyone help with this? Thanks.

This question would be better answered if posted in the thread created for the ROM. The other users may also be experiencing the issue and have a solution, or the chef may not even be aware of the problem and should be notified.
This is not the rom's problem, ...
it's your proximity sensor, quick fix is to put it under a bright light or zap it with an IR remote (the proximity sensor is located top-left
