Proximity sendor - Galaxy S II General

when i am on the phone and.i want to end the call, my screen is off. I have to push on the home button, to switch the screen on. I tested the proximity sensor (*#0*#), but that is ok. I have the feeling that i only have this problem in the evening.
I run on 2.3.5 ki8.
Anybody any thougts what this could be?

Red led on Atrix in portrait position (At&t .92 fw)

Hi, i just notice if i hold the phone vertically, in portrait view, a red almost noticeable led lights on, next to the geeen notification led. No blinking, just stays on.
Is it normal? My phone is stock, with the last Gingerbread update. However if i flip it horizontally (landscape mode) the red light turns off.
Thanks in advance.

That led is an indicator for front facing camera use and in call use

How to take a screenshot in ICS?

Just updated to ICS, but the Home + Power for screenshot doesn't work anymore. Volume down + Power doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?

Hold the button on the S-Pen and press on screen for a second until you hear the camera click sound. This works for me on ICS.
No need 4 spen 2 screencap unless u have it out already just
Do it with touch input
wipe across the screen with your full hand like a karate chop left 2 right
or with ur thumb in a vertical position that works 2

I believe palm swipe gesture is easier than other ways.

[Q] Creaky Battery Cover?

Anyone else have this? I am finding if I apply pressure just below the camera and above the samsung logo I get a creak noise. Seems to happen when I'm holding it a certain way.
No. Tight fit.
The home button is sticky & fidgety.
Nope, not at all.

I had the back cover on and off a few times now and its not doing it anymore so I guess it was just not fitted right.
Thanks for your input

Why does my proximity sensor stay on when the screen is off (not in a call)

So playing around with some night vision goggles I discovered the proximity sensor turns on when the screen turns off. I tried a phone call and discovered the flash pattern was the same. I played around with the settings but could find nothing that could explain this (on my s4 quick glance the culprit). Does anyone know why this is happening?

Possibly related to the feature where our will answer a call if you place the phone to your face

Wouldn't it start looking for your face only when a call is coming through?

The sensor stays on to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket. If it detects that the phone is in an enclosed space, it will not knock-on.

Any one seeing this before?

The purple dot on the side of the screen and half of the screen became weird today. Never seen it before. It is not effecting the touch or anything.
Thanks in advance.

uh oh, screen issues
is it constantly there or comes and goes? I'd warranty it right away nevertheless
It will go away eventually.. I'm noticing it only happened when the phone in sleep mode overnight.

One of my frnds s2 fell from 2 feet. It started like that in morning the whole screen was dark.
