Screen goes Dark just after dialing - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been using ms2ginger 4.0 and just changed to CM10 by Quarx.
The problem is that as soon as i dial a number the screen goes dark and i could use the power button to display the screen in ms2ginger but not in the cm10 edition.
It happens atleast 9 times out of 10.
Any solution, is the screenguard culprit ?
or any fix for the sensor to work properly?
it was wrking perfectly when used the official froyo!!!

I'm on CM9 and there is a setting under "System Settings > Display" which says "In accurate proximity". See if that's in CM10 and works for you.

Thanks for your reply, in cm10 couldn't find that option moved to cm9(mig edition)
the problem is still there after checking the proximity option but not that much

Found a Solution
I was searching all around this place.
Found a solution that the screw just behind the proximity sensor (when you open the back panel) was a bit tight, too much i guess, just loosened that screw to a single round and it is working perfectly.
Maybe help anyone facing the same issue.
P.S. i did open my whole phone once and i guess tightened the screw too much.

[Q] troubles with rotation sensor

Hi Guys, my first post! I'm having a troubles with my Blade. The rotating sensor axys isn't working, to be honest it never been working, even with the stock rom. I'm now running Cyano Gingerbread 7 and the situation looks always the same. Tried to switch the button on the menu off/on many times and tried also to move fast the phone in my hands... There is a way to check it? Somebody haves the service manual of the Blade, or help me in some way.
Thanks in Advance.

Which phone MB526 or MB525??
If it is MB525 then which color lens (Green or Red)?
However, in both the cases you may search the thread from which you have downloaded the ROM; that thread may have Camera fix for your phone.

Maybe, it helps.
Go to settings > apps > manage apps > all > camera > erase data

Not sure if what you are facing is the same thing...

[Q] How to calibrate the accelerometer?

Playing around with Android Sensor Box I noticed that the accelerometer on my device needs calibration. Right now, laid on a flat horizontal surface, it looks like it's tilted a little to the left. The problem is I can't find the option to calibrate on Jelly Bean. On my old Gingerbread phone I could do it from Settings > Display > Horizontal calibration.
Is there any way to do a system-wide calibration of the accelerometer?
OK for anyone having this problem: I turned the tablet off, laid it horizontally and turned it on again, which seems to recalibrate the accelerometer. Rather inconvenient, but it works.
Try the sensor tester app from the play store.

well, it seems that this also does works only sometimes - at first it solved my problem, but after few days and reboots (there was also a ROM change involved), it stopped working for me (well, the calibration seems to works well, but other apps sees only miscalibrated results now... Looks like I will have to have my Nexus replaced (which I realy hate) :crying:

For what it's worth, I've always been on stock Jelly Bean. When I first had issues with the accelerometer, powering off/on to recalibrate worked for me on 4.1.2, and I haven't had issues since, even after upgrading to 4.2 and doing a factory reset. Maybe you could give the latest stock ROM a try before replacing your Nexus 7.

My home button stops working after a while (CM10.1/Franco)

hello fellow xda-ers
I recently updated to the latest and stable CM10.1 (after using M2,M3, RC3 and RC5) and noticed that my home button stops working after a while. I'm not sure when it started but I think it was with the RC.
I did a search but it didn't yield anything particularly relevant. Is that a known problem?
I just reinstalled everything after resetting all data and it still happening.
thanks in advance for your input,
n
edit: before someone mentions it, I read this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340170 where the user indicates that re-flashing everything and restoring his apps using TB fixed the problem. That's exactly what I did but the problem persists unfortunately.
edit2: the problem seems to be limited to when the app drawer is opened. Home works fine with apps
same thing is happening to me. i was running cm since i bought the phone in February. Decided to flask Franco and now I'm getting this weird touch screen problems. The bottom row where the home button is located will become unresponsive. I decided to go into developer settings and enable "show touches". My phone is sometimes touches without my physical input.
Not sure if kernel related or if my touchscreen coincidentally has given out. I'm gonna try flashing stock kernel and see if that fixes things

I have the same problem on
Franco M3 and CM10.1 stable, just I'm not sure if it started when I flashed CM stable or Franco M3. Home button doesn't work with app draw open and also it doesn't swap from one homescreen to the default.
However if I got to settings>Launcher>Homescreen>Default screen and change it to another screen then back again the home button works properly but after a few days it stops again.
edit: its as if it just forgets what screen is supposed to be default

Help Proximity Sensor does not work well

Hi all.
I have an issue with proximity sensor on my i9505.
It works well when i reboot my phone... But after 30 min - 1 hour it stops to work.
I'm on c-rom 7.1 but i have this issue on all roms.
I've tried to clean it. I've disassembled my phone and cleaned the sensor with alchool and a cotton fioc, but i have even the problem.
I've noticed the problem because when i go to modify the automatic brightness values, the value "lux" is stopped on a number and doesn't change...
What can be? Please help me!!!
