[Q] Where's the proximity sensor? - Acer Iconia A500

Hello, just one simple question: where's proximity sensor in the A500/A501? I have the Acer flip case but if I close it the screen stays on... Should I enable it somewhere in the settings?

Are you referring to the ambient light sensor? If so, its on the top left bezel, between the volume rocker and the rotation lock. If you look at the black glass there in bright light, you will see a small dark spot, that is the sensor.
As for a setting, the screen will dim based on ambient light levels, not shut off. The setting for it is located by tapping the clock, then the settings button, then the word "auto" next to the brightness slider.
Was this post helpful? If so give thanks

The correct answer is a question... What proximity sensor?

this is driving me nut
the Acer case will always partially cover this one and the dispaly will fluctuate the brightness in random... ;(
pushing A500 firmly into the case solves for a while before happening again - think I need new case...

Based upon this site that contains the tech specs, http://gadgetian.com/10395/acer-iconia-tab-a501-specs-price, the A501 should contain a "proximity sensor to turn it on or off". Please note that if you google for "Acer iconia tab proximity sensor" you will get a number of results, so I doubt that it's just a mistake of one site.
So there's no way to turn the screen off while the tab is properly fitted in its sleeve?

Couldnt the light sensor be used as a proximity sensor? With software I mean.

I have checked my tablet from top to bottom and even made some sensor test to make sure that everything is working and I never saw a listing for a proximity sensor so I'm sure that we don't have one (or a barometer... that was also one of the things that was possible to test ).
@cd85233: Probably yes but I wonder what kind of impact it would have on the battery.

there is no proximity sensor on the A500 nor A501. refered to spec sheet and hardware implementation... unless they changed it since last release.
who told you so ?

Guys, there's an app called tasker. You can use that to tell the tablet to lock up when it receives less than 3 or so % light reading from the light sensor. It works great on the gtab. Still waiting for the case for my iconia to test it out.

still an ambient light sensor, not proximity sensor. As for if it could bbe used as one by software I'm not sure. For the case, look up roocases for the acer iconia on amazon. I have the folio multi-angle black n love it!

This works 100%. Just did it on my Iconia.
Set the trigger to be light between 0 and 5% and the action to be "Display"->System lock.
Let me know if you guys need help but this is easy and works AMAZINGLY. I don't know if more battery use occurs to poll the sensor though. Will report if I see it in the battery usage.

I get it, now you know n its kinda like how one off the wall chinese tablet has a "gravity sensor". Is it an accelerometer? Gyroscope? Our does it merely sense the presence of gravity? Will the device go haywire if used in outer space? Who knows! Lol tech specs can be painfully vague and inaccurate. Especially on a company who can't even figure out to name the source code for their kernel something that doesn't make it look like a help file, THEN place it in the documentation portion of the site, good job Acer! Point being I get the confusion

I have check on my girlfriend's TouchHD and there is....... NOTHING!
There is nothing there. Your phone might have some kind of minor manufacturing flaw that makes you think there is something there. I have had my HD for a year and have never heard of anything being there. I looked at it from all angles, and compared it to the right side. My phone shows nothing. Both the left and the right side look the same.
Thank you all for your attempts, but I will tru to put pic of it (if camera will capture it), and maybe than you can explain me this place usebility. Will try to give a pix on monday!!!

I highly doubt there's anything. I've recently opened up my phone to replace the screen and had to mess around in there with the camera/speaker/light sensor and there was nothing else.
Please see attached photoes, can anybody explain this window dedication? Waiting for your replyes.
looks like a air bubble under the screen protector.
Oh common guys, it is not bubble, not scratch, please look on top of htc logo untill calldynamic, this thing placed between them. Mayby mine is special, super-assembled!!!
ok, i was doubtful but i checked anyway and couldnt see anything, then i saw your pics and thought id give it another try and nope, nada, then i figured id pull it to bits and have a gander and inside and still nothing.
Whilst this was slightly entertaining im affraid to say you have probably got a bubble under the first layer of screen.
That is the most likely explination, the chances you have a one off device that no one else has which has some mystical new sensor is so small you'd be better off putting your life savings and the money you made selling your house on the lottery in the hope you'll hit the big one!
Ok, if accept the version that it is bubble under first layer, can you explain why this bubble has so right geometric forms? The guy next to me has an IPhone, and even him thought that it is porximity sensor like his apple has. Strange and Mistyc!!!
I agree that the shape is very geometrical, and I can understand how it would make you think there is something special there. It is unique, but I still don't think it's related to any functions or features the phone has. Look at the letters "htc". You have a slight frame around each letter that is the same shade/color as the "window" you are referring to. My "htc" letters have no such frame around them. The black of the phone comes up directly to where the white letters start.
So, I think it's some kind of strange manufacturing effect.
I'll even attach the service manual for you to look at.
Download service manual here
To be truthfully honest I thought you were seeing things until you posted your 3 pics. Yes, it does look geometrical in shape, but I can assure you that this is not a sensor, button or anything else intended by HTC. As stated by others previously is looks like a flaw in some way, either on the device itself or caused by the skin protector. If you take your device to any retail shop and compare it with another HD this may ease your concerns and I'm sure the staff in the shop would also say as everyone else here has.
Absolutely agree with htc letter, before your post i don't even see this feat, well, i think i should agree with that this window has no any function. Besides i saw off. manual, no-nothing. OK, waiting for another variants of reply.

Well, first of all device was bought not in EU, second, in my country very hard to find even person who owns device, too much expensive for our market, i'm even not talking about shops to compare my apparatus with others. By the way, does anybody know, whether in this forum chats somebody from HTC. i would asked him directly.

Proximity Sensor use??

With the SGT, I have a case for it and have been reading in all the specs that it does have a proximity sensor... but how do you actually get it to work?
I would love if I could open the case and it turned on, and then off. So far I have not read anything about using the proximity sensor in any way on the Tab.
Any help??
Thanks!

I was under the impression that the Tab did not have a proximity sensor. All of the Galaxy S devices do, but that's because you put it close to your face when talking on it. The Tab doesn't have a handset speaker on it, so I don't think it would be necessary.
does the galaxy tab actually have proximity sensor , or has any one tried it
Well, for what it is worth, I remember having a metal detector on my TMo G1 that used the proximity sensor, so the white fruit company can't say they had the idea first.

Tip: how to test Galaxy TAB 7.7 display (etc.)

Use the Service Code * # * # 0 * # * # * to check display for the presence of dead pixels.
It makes sense to check out all that is possible, especially when you buy used tablet or a new one on the "gray market" or aboard.
You can enter this service code in the dialpad in GT-6800 and check out:
- speakers
- defective pixels - better do not check if this is your phone already, why get upset for nothing?
- few sensors (do not be confused with gyro, it takes a while to test it)
- screen discoloration on edges (there should be no discoloration what so ever for a non defective screen, also no visible lines in greys)

Presumably you enter these into the dialer of your 6800. Has anyone tried the codes in the Wifi only tablet, ie installed a dialer. If so, which dialer did you use or does this not work for the 6810?

Many thanks for that I've try on the P6800 and was surprised about the grip sensor... Did not know about it... Wonder if it can be used to wakeup the device like proximity sensor does with smart screen off the problem is that the proximity sensor is too sensitive. This shows well in those test it is either 0 or 1 at a distance of couple cm..
Anyway interesting... For some reason the gyro shows a red fail...

The gyro on mine also showed FAIL initially but the test was still running. Later, the big FAIL message went away and said PASS in blue.
Aside from checking dead pixels its also a good idea to check for screen discoloration on edges which is more common on the Tab7.7, different shades of grey should make testing easier/faster. There should be no discoloration what so ever for a non defective screen, also no visible lines in greys.
just did this, and found a dead pixel -- now i can't unnotice it, I kinda wish I didn't do this :-/
at least I didn't have any of the coloration issues that people seemed to be having
A dead pixel is gonna stick out like a sore thumb.

I can certainly relate my first unit had 9 dead pixels so I wouldn't get too worked up over one. I haven't seen any on my replacement yet but would consider a few to be within normal failure rate. I wouldn't think any retailer would take back a unit with any less that 4 or 5 pixels dead since this issue seems to be fairly common amongst tablet screens. Sorry though...I feel your pain!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I had 1 dead pixel on my 7.7 and it's now in for repairs.
It didn't bother me at all until I noticed it, of course..
They didn't say a thing though, just took it in for repair.
As far as I understood, dead pixels should be really rare on AMOLED displays...
i found a fualty pixel as well, I'm not sure if its dead or stuck since it pops up in white & green screens only while running the test.

Smart Cover App

So I found out the hard way that the Tab 2 10.1 doesn't come with a proximity sensor (not sure how I missed this). Has anyone found an app that turns the screen on/off by opening and closing a case?
My assumption is that this isn't possible without a proximity sensor but thought I'd ask.
Sent from my Kanged Tab2
Shouldn't be impossible at all.. the device auto senses what the screen light should be I do not know if it uses the camera for this or if there is a second sensor to accomplish this.. but it sounds totally feasible to write a program that senses total darkness to tell the device to sleep Im not so sure how turning it back on would work..this would be am awesome app please post back if you find one
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Here there, sorry I don't think it is possible, even smart cover app relys on proximity sensor.
And no, light sensor wouldn't work in dark places or at night.
I believe proximity sensor is only present in cellular models. If so, on your dialpad/keypad, type *#0*# -> sensor -> and place an object near the top of the tablet where the speaker and light/prox sensors are located.
Screen should turn green, and PROXIMITY:0.0 -> PROXIMITY:1.0
Im not much on coding but you would see some light at night from the screen unless the sensor just sucks or the case lets too much light escape i dont see why it wouldnt.

The sensors are only effective if light in shinning directly above it. If light sensors were this sensitive (picking up light from screen), I adobt putting a smart cover on or putting it in your pocket isn't going to work since neither pockets or smart covers are completely light proof as sensors are near the top picking up reddish/faint light.
Cover isn't flat enough to stop screen backlight from traveling accorss the surface of tab and therefore sensors won't be triggered.
Common sense
do you try the Power Switch Pro?
Power Switch Pro works with my Tab 2 7.0 and I would think it would work with the 10.1. There is a lite version on Play that you can try. I liked it well enough to buy it.

I'm using the wireless version. It works on my Samsung and also on the wife's rooted Nook tablet. It actually works the best when using the motion sensor and laying it upside down when you want it to turn off. A couple of times it didn't respond as quickly when lying on the back, but it works 100% of the time when laid upside down.

There is also a app at google play called Killswitch Lite.
power switch pro seems to do the job to a certain point. it works good outside, but when you are inside a room or place with a litle less light it starts to pop up that notification window and shut down the screen. maybe be it can be adjusted with the light sensor sensitivity but i found that so disturbing that i disable it.
for me it doesnt do the desired job. if someone has some idea how to make this useful will be thankful.

searsh smart cover on google play best one is about 2 $
I use Case Sensor on my Tab 10.1" and it does it's job. It does use the light sensor so during night time or dark areas, it won't activate thinking the case is still covering the light sensor. This app is clever in that when you press the power button, it will override the app for a temporary amount of time. Good enough until someone else can think of a better way to execute or use a combination on different sensors to control the screen

Magnetic sensor FAIL

used *#0*# menu to test the magnetic sensor; selftest failed. Compass apps are WAY off. its also reading 270-280T in field strength across several apps. I can recalibrate it (mag field strength detected) via one app, but the compass itself is off by about 85 degrees. I have not exposed it to strong magnetic radiation, stuck it in a microwave, or anything like that.
warranty repair/replace?
Also gyro won't calibrate and lists failed as well

compass/magneto apps now correctly report 47-51t (magnetic field scale) and i tested it with another magnetometer, also tested the compass feature through several apps against a real compass, as well as gyro calibration against a sextant (yes i actually have one lol, had to learn how to use it though first) it is calibrated correctly to within 1/2 of a degree; good enough for now.
I have no idea how/why it fixed itself, but the sensor tests still report 'failed', so its going back regardless.

I called Samsung a few days ago they said they would work on fixing my phone instead of swapping it out with a refurb, i told the lady i didn't want a refurb since i've had my phone in a case with a screen protector since day one. She was intent them working specifically on my phone but I'm still a little eh on that because back in the s2 days i got a refurb with a huge scratch on the screen when they said the exact samething. AT&T is willing to look at what is wrong with the and if they deem its not fixable they are going to swap it out with a new phone which is great. If you choose the Samsung option it take 2-3 days for them to receive it 5-7 days to fix it and 2-3 more days to send it back yet. They won't do Advanced Replacement either. Im just sad because my phone hasnt had any problems like the severe shutter lag or the over heating so hopefully when i get the new phone tomorrow there wont be something else wrong with it. $5 it has a dead pixel knowing my luck
I had the same issue when using a non-stock ROM/kernel. As soon as I went back to stock the problem went away.
