After i hang up on a call (when the phone is in sleep mode and the screen is locked) the screen unlocks. this is quite contrary to what is mentioned in the phone manual chapter 1 page 45. this becomes an issue since i use a bluetooth headset and the phone remains in its sleeve/case and after every call, a whole bunch of applications will launch since the case is in contact with the screen. have i overlooked some settings or are there other owners who have faced this issue?
ideas and suggestions welcomed
did you check it out if any of the hardware buttons being pressed against the case hence wakening up the phone.?
i had it to only closed al my apps in taskm and it stoped flickering
My HD2 is also behaving in the same way even in controlled test conditions - the phone unlocks when a call comes in (I'm presented with slide to accept or reject call) The phone unlocks during the call, but fails to lock again on disconnect (either by pressing "end call" or hang up via bluetooth).
Can anyone verify this? Is it interacting with something I installed?
I believe I found a (complicated) workaround.
What I want: leave HD2 inside pocket, answer calls with bluetooth headset, hang up and phone will go back to lock.
Problem: After I hang up using bluetooth or press the big red "End Call" button or the other party hangs up, the phone stays unlocked! It stays powered on and all kinds of buttons gets clicked.
Practically all lock sw uses their own lock screen (which I don't want to install). CSDevCtrl does not trigger by phone. TouchLockPro uses its own transparent lock screen but can respond to phone events. Using the !SUSPEND for TAPI\Ended under settings does not seem to work when the screen dims about 50 secs into the call.
Solution: Use TouchLockPro together with LockAndOff. Get TAPI\Ended to run LockAndOff will turn phone off, whether by bluetooth, big red "End Call" button, or the other party hangs up.
BTW: I think there is some confusion on whether the phone locks when you
1. press the big red "End Call" button, or
2. the hard "End call" button
in the forums.
I noticed that HD2 have a light sensor next to the top ear speaker.
During a call, if the phone is put near the ear and cover the light sensor , the screen become non-active which is good.
If anyone can come up with a lock sceen using this light sensor , then the problem with random launch of program when phone inside pocket will be solved.
This lock screen should only activated right after an end of call, beacuse , sometime you may want to use the phone in a dark place.

It's the proximity sensor that turns the screen on and off during a call, not the light sensor. How else would it work in the dark? (which it does)

My proximity sensor does not work, when I am getting a call my screen turn off and when I am taking the phone out from my face it turn on only when I am out side at the sun!! the screen stay off when I am inside room. I tested it with flsh light and it is working also.
I have a T-Mobile US version of the HD2. I am having the same problem when using the bluetooth system in my car. After answering or making a call the phone stay unlocked. And then starts making random calls while I am driving!!!!
There has got to be an easy fix for this!!!
Buy pocketshield, problem solved.
i have this unlock problem with 1.48 rom and i solve it by pressing start button and lock. after that everything works fine unless i change theme in settings. then just repeat first step.
Solved
Same trouble with me until I use the following software. I tried it and it's almost perfect. unzip it and just copy to your HD2, run CallerLoc.exe and click Yes, you'll find:when you hang up, or he/she hang up a call, or a call is established, the screen will turn off.
Why say 'almost perfect', the software is in chinese, but the filename is in english. and it's a call location software but with the function we need.
To stop or before you delete the software, run Callerloc.exe and click Yes again.
Hope this will help you. Sorry I don't find a English version of this software. I esure and I'm using this software perfectlly with my Leo.

Greetings.
I understand this is quite an old thread I'm digging up but I need a little help as well and I didn't want to start a new topic just for that.
I've this silly problem, appeared right out of the blue:
You all know the standard manila behavior, when the phone is idle, the screen first dims and after some more time, depending on your preferences, the screen locks. It also locks if you press the power off button. This all was happening to me till this morning.
I added an event in the calendar (the only change I made today) and after that, my phone dims and then goes in sleep mode after the designated period of time, but DOESN'T lock!!! It doesn't even lock when I press the power off button. I can still lock it by pressing Start and then lock or by press and hold the power button and choose the lock phone option. So one would say that it's still operational, so why bother about it, but I kinda liked the standard function and I have to freaking idea why it changed!!!
I'd be most appreciative if you could offer some help with that.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Erasing the calendar event didn't either.
My phone runs the factory ROM (1.66.482.1 ELL), I haven't changed anything other than user settings (yeah, I'm a noob... )
Thanks in advance!

Pocketshield could be the end of your problems. You can try it for 10 days and see how it goes...
But why do I need to buy third party software in order to revert my phone to it's original operation?
No, this is not the answer I am looking for. I was wondering if you know of any kind of settings that might have changed by accident and caused this undesired behavior.
Thanks.
The best to return to normal operation would be a hard reset. Or you can spend a while trying.
You can try
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Active=1
Thank you very much. I opted for the hard reset option... I hope it stays ok this time!
My HD2 also had some strange unlocking and unwanted calling.
I noticed it appeared when using the android style lockscreen.
When I changed back to the original one, problem solved
i had this too. the andriod lockscreen seems to be a bit buggy last time i used it, i accidentially called 7 random numbers
I got a question. When you're talking on the phone, does your screen goes off in 10 seconds, then 2 seconds later, the screen turns back on, then turns off in 10 seconds, and keeps going..
Cuz while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth, I just happen to noticed this and even using my finger to hide the proximity sensor, it does the same thing.
[EDIT] When I'm on a call and then hit the home button to get to the main screen (still on call), then it turns off like normal and it won't turn itself on. But for some reason, in the "Call Window" it just repeatedly goes off and on.. Hmmm
Problem 2: When I'm on a call, and have my phone in my pocket, when someone phones me, my leg would help me 'accept' the call. I did a test. When I'm on a call and block the proximity sensor, the screen locks up (which is fine) but when someone phones in (call waiting), the screen is accessible again even though the proximity server is still covered. This makes it so that it would still accidently accept the call when someone phones in while still in pocket.
Can anyone try it and see if it does it on your phone?
Yes mine does that. It sucks because frequently, I will hit the hang up button with my cheek. Annoying.
I hope they fix this asap...
its very annoying, mine does the same thing
I am using the European Tab, but that probably makes no difference.
For security, I lock the phone automatically after 3 minutes of inaction. This works fine for all apps except phone. Strangely, after dialling (or after picking up a call) the phone first turns off the screen, and briefly thereafter locks the device, within 10 seconds. I can continue the call, but as the screen is off, I can not hang up, unless I first switch it on and enter the password.
I have not found a parameter to influence this behavior. But I know it is not related to the proximity sensor, as the effect happens the same way even when not moving the device from the desk.
Is this a confirmed behavior or does anyone know a cure? It's ok if the screen goes dark, and even if you must turn on via power button, but the password?!
Thanks for any help,
Rolf

It happens to me lately after I flashed a new Rom but I highly doubt that has anything to do with it...it feels like a proximity sensor issue, and a autolock issue as well . I am Clueless sorry
I noticed this problem:
when i start a call, my screen become black and i cannot hang-up the call.
anyone with same problem?
another little question:
i have a time-limited data plan (40H /month) is there a way to know if my HD2/WP7 phone is connected or not? or a way to control my data connection?
thank you!
I have the same issue. If I hold the proximity sensor directly to a bright light source the screen comes back on but I'm not always near a bright light source. I've been making calls on my bluetooth headset because that has a hardware hang-up button. If someone could work out how to hook up the hd2 hang-up button this would be a massive help...
EDIT: i make some test, plese discard this post (test result in post #5)
I'm not sure about yours, but after I finish my call I just remove my phone from my ear then the screen show up . Regardless where I am (dim or bright place) the screen responds to the movement of the phone away from my ear .
ok, i make some other test.
confirmed, we have some problem with proximity sensors.
when i make a call, the screen become black. immediately, witoutn anything else.
wen i remove the phone from my ear the screen will NOT come up UNLESS the other part hang up.
for example: if the other part use an answering machine, i am able to record my message, but the screen DOES NOT comes up when i remove it from my ear.
if the other part is a friend, and HE hang up the call, my screens lights up, again, sayng "call ended". then return to the home screen.
if i'm in-call, and i expose the phone to a bright light, the screen comes back too, sowhing all in-call options (speaker activation keypad, and some other things)
Just press the normal hang up button and that should act as the power button to bring the screen back on...

during call this button doesn't do nothing.... already try with all button..
i just play with registry entries, some are interesting.
HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\Proximity
ScreenOffDebounceTime DWORD:50 (Decimal value)
ScreenOffThreshold DWORD:256 (Decimal value)
But i cannot figure how they affect screen (i try to change their value with no effect)
update:
seems i fix it!!!
after an UPGRADE (hehehe) to winMo 6.5, i realize that problem still exist.
then i remove a portion of the screen protextor and proximity sensors works again!
even if i use original HTC screen protector... :\

I've tried that already but it didn't work for me. I did have my screen replaced so I wonder if the problem started then...
Same to me... Is this a replaced screen issue?
Strange one this...the red button (bottom right of the 5 physical buttons) just brings the screen to life for me and should work I would have thought regardless if screen is replaced.
hey guys i am facing a problem too with my tmous hd2...i have dual booted it..when i make a call in android or win7 proximity sensor doesnt turn off the screen at all.....so i end calls without my knowledge and intent.....anyone facing similar issues??? anybody knows any solution???
what is HD2' file of controlling Proximity sensor,Can u tell me the detail ?tks in abvance==
My English is very bad,Many do not understand
I also have problem...
Hello, I would also like to know the answer to this or if someone knows how to disable the proximity sensor
I have problem with the latest builds, currently I am using BOYPPC_SHIFTPDA Ginger.S. Almost everytime I start dialing the screen goes black and the phone locks. I can finish the call but the phone remains locked - black screen with the buttons light on.
I manage to wake it by calling myself from another phone and and sending busytone or by pluging in USB.
I managed to be able to wake the phone up with a program called Sanity. But I still cannot wake the phone during the call, for example to send DTMF tone.
This seems to be connected with the proximity sensor. When I check the status it isn't giving any values, or sometime gives some random values. I think it isn't broken because sometimes it works well.
I haven't had this problem with MIUI builds.
So probably removing the proximity sensor drivers would solve it
also have the same problem. Ending a call makes my phone keep its screen turned off... Until i find a lamp wehere i can holde the sensor under it so that it turns on the screen again.
I'd just like to have an option so that the screen doesn't turn off in a call. I mean it must be possible to deactivate the sensor...
Just press the middle button - the win flag button - and the screen goes on again.
not easy as that the phone doesn't react at all. Hardware keys lighten up but screen stays black. Looks funny when you search for a bright light source just to use your phone again after a phone call .
