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

Hi,
is there an option for android-HD2s to disable the proximity sensor? I'm sick of the behavior of my device that the screen doesn't turn on again after making a phone call, taking out battery isn't a very useful option...
I already tried the Recalibrator for the sensor (originally for DesireHD), it worked for a few days but now again i've got the problem...
Therefore i'd rather have the screen turned on during the phone call, than having a blocked phone after the call..,
Do you know a solution?

hi, I guess you are using Desire HD rom. If is so I fully understand you. Those build s avery big and laggy. After trying many,many rom s Iwent to this one>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
The screen turns on , everything work s fine. And it is crazy fast. Believe me, you will love android after this.
the best DHD Rom is Core Droid, in 1.3 the sensor was good, but in the actual 1.4 its bad again, try it when the next version is out. its very fast and nice skinned, also always good updates like the controls widget in the notifications bar.
Are we talking about the rom for hd2??is there anyone who can help us on the same problem?
I do this that way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16008095&postcount=4
Still tested different NAND-Android Roms on my HD2 but got still a problem. If i make a phone call and the screen turns black while calling i press the endkey to end the phone call. But instead of turning on the device, the screen stays black and i need to pull the battery and restart the phone.
If i make a phone call and use the free speaking funktion, while the screen don't turn off, i got no problem when ending the phone call.
I don't know what the problem could be, but it seems, that the thing has to do with the sensor who turns the screen on and off. But i don't know if this is the problem and/or know how to fix this problem. Like i said, i tested different Android Roms formated the SD-Card, deleted cache and all the stuff, but nothing fixed this problem. :-(
28 Views and no one with this problem? :-(
There are 2 other threads discussing this issue already. Here is one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946012
Issue lies with the light/proximity sensor. Could be defective hardware. Could be incorrect sensor drivers. Could be dirty sensors. I have yet to take mine apart to check for dirt on sensors. Blowing into the led/earpiece opening seemed to help. I notice if it doesn't come back on I can hold a very bright light (ex: cigarette lighter) about an inch away and the screen comes on as long as the lighter is lit. Sometimes it stays on.
thanks for your answer. seems to be more things to test and maybe solve this problem. Thanks!
THANK YOU Agoattamer!
Your link helped me to solve the problem! I just cutted a little piece of my screen protector, where the proximity sensor is, and got no more freezes after the phone calls! The screen protector still got two holes for the light and proximity sensor, but this seemed not to be big enough. Anyway, thank you a lot for your post!

I also tried a a lot of different NAND ROM and I had also this problem and I can't use Android efficiently. Now I am using hyperdroid ROM ( first GBX now CM). With this ROM and sanity app (from market, with correct settings you can find with trying) I almost solve this problem. ( probability of 95 % I don't get this error)
hey guys! i found the solution goin through the market!
download an app called "Sanity" theres a free version in the regular android market.
go to the settings > general > check "Reverse Proximity" (This will give you some warning about not using it if you DONT have a buggy proximity sensor). Check it anyways. Then go back to preferences then click "Proximity" scroll down and uncheck Turn off screen and leave leave the Turn on screen checked. this will force your phone to stay on during calls so that it never has to go through the proximity phase of calls this no more black screens. Hope this was helpful ^_^

Does any other one tried this solution ???
Hi,
I have Xperia arc S. Recently it is behaving in a crazy way during a phone call.
when I call or I receive a call, and put the phone on my ear, the sensor works and get the display off which is normal... but what is not normal, is that many times the screen keeps off and It doesn't get back on.
It's more happening when I am outdoor.... and in many times I need to remove the battery to get it working again.
does any one face the same behavior? any suggestions?
Thanks alot,
I used to have the same problem. It's normally one of two things, either the sensor is obscured(eg some cases, or it's greasy) or low ram. If it's the sensor then it would be pretty obvious, with the ram issue then you can try a ram cleaner from the market, or a ram management app/script, or a custom rom(these all need a rooted phone, with a custom rom/kernel you'll probably need your bootloader unlocked).

I have the same problem. I haven't found a solution, but in my case the screen will return when the call ends. I found an option in the phone to use the power button to end a call. That allows me to end a call when the screen won't activate. I can then push the middle button and the screen comes on.
I have investigated the sensor suggestion, but I don't think that is it. The screen will work perfectly in normal light conditions, but has problems in either low light conditions or outside when it is very bright. I don't think the latter case would be an issue if it was due to a blocked sensor. It is more like the software not being able to distinguish a change in light level either due to insufficient light or being overloaded by too much light. I had hoped 4.0 would fix it, but it hasn't.
Are you on a Custom ROM?
Or tweaked the autobrightness with a tool?
I only had this issue when i was on a Custom ROM that had bugs...
So if its official ROM, try wiping it...
Otherwise it could be just a bug of your rom, and you need to get an update if available
I think its a bug on stock ICS 4.0.4 because I had this problem too and only pulling out a battery would fix this. This happened to me only on pure stock unmodified ICS.
try another Rom, i guess it is your rom's bug
Hey guys , I am expriencing a sudden shutdown of the screen after ending a call.
When it happends the screen goes black but everything else function, u can still hear it when u press on the buttons and the only way to make it work again is to pull off the battery and restore it.
the question is : if its a sod , a faulty device or just a user error.
I've searched the forums with no luck so I am here asking you.
thanks
Sounds like a perfect example of a SOD to me.
Oky, thanks for the fast replay, mods can lock this thread now.
thanks again.
try disabling proximity sensor in call settings, it's possible that the sensor is faulty, mine is and it causes the same effect.
Today I noticed that the proximity sensor of my G6 (H870DS) was on while reading in google books. I found that odd so I tried other apps, the home screen and screen off (tried disabling the knock-on feature and have always on display disabled)... still emitting.
Also found this reddit thread with people experiencing the same issue. OP suggests that it came after the July OTA.
I didn't notice any issues, or battery drain, except that it is always on. Did anybody else notice this? Is there a way to turn it off?
I'm not comfortable with it emitting all the time, might damage over time. Thx!
hi does anybody else experience this? thanks

it can happen when an app using the sensor and doesn't release it so it always scan and funtion. it can be phone app or a bug in firmware.
restart your phone and directly go to google book and check if this issue occurs or not.
:good:
Hey there, nope that's regrettably not the case. The proximity sensor starts emitting in the last stages of the boot process (LG logo animation is still on screen), so it's very likely not app related.
I am also experiencing the same issue. It also occurs when in Safe Mode. If you search reddit LG G6, you can see that several people have reported this issue. I've contacted LG and they know nothing about this issue. There must be a way to get a senior engineer at LG to look into this.
My proximity sensor always seems to be on. If I place a phone call and hold the phone next to my face and then remove the phone from my face, the screen does not turn back on. I have to use a BT headset to conduct phone calls.
