Proximity sensor problem - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there a way to keep the screen from turning off when on call as it goes blank when on call
is there a app or something to disable it if I was to root the phone
I seen on the internet you can disable the hardware by removing it off the phone so does anyone know what file and location it is as you can download a app to do it

Try sanity or proximity screen on app from google market...
I personally used sanity and it does the job done.

Proximity sensor..prob during call

Hi guys..the above prob does not happen when during the call i use the slide dialpad..at that time screen gets locked!!
Is any settings that i have to change?

It keeps your face from inadvertently pressing the cancel/end call button. To unlock screen during call, double tap screen.
But when i dont use the slide dialpad the proximity sensor doesnt work..thats the problem..

Check the Android Dev section of this forum you might find some answers there... or...
Try flashing your phone again.
I'm not an expert so that's all I can tell you. Maybe others have better solutions.
I read other threads too..some guy is doing some kind of a experimnt..
Can u confirm if u r facing the same issue or not?

Got a task killer? If so, remove it and see what it does. Had something similar happen.

First step is to see if your proximity sensor works at all...
Go to the lock screen and press:
Menu Back Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back
Find the proximity sensor test and press your finger against the phone just above the screen.

Auto lock

Can auto screen lock be disabled?

I use a (paid) app called Battery Indicator Pro which has the ability to disable your lock screen. Works quite well. It doesn't permanently disable it as if you restart your phone the lock screen will show.
The main function of the app puts your battery status in the notifications window and allows you to view what has been eating away at your battery.
I hope that's what you meant by "auto screen lock"
Yeah, sounds right. I find it a pain trying to drive and unlock at the same time, esp if you wanna make a call or skip tracks on music player

Settings>>Applications>>Development>>Stay Awake.
Using the method I mentioned above, just note that the screen will still turn off, but when you hit home or power it will go right back to whatever you were doing.
You can set your screen to never time out in the settings.

try using Extended Controls or SwitchPro widgets to skip ahead some extra steps in making your phone always awake.
Tried the dont turn screen off while charging and it works!

[Q] Is it possible to get rid of the slide to unlock screen?

So is there anyone that has developed something that will allow you to get rid of the unlock screen completely? I think it would be nice to just be able to hit the button and not have to slide the screen every time.
i havent used this app so i dont know if it works or not but it does what you want.

I use Battery Indicator Pro. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicatorPro
The free version can't disable the lockscreen.
Just search for "disable lockscreen on the market.
Awesome! Thanks you guys!
On CM7 there is a feature for disabling the lockscreen.

Except that it re-enables all the time. (Issue 2121 on the Bug Tracker).
Been waiting a long time for this to be fixed.
I know there is a app that uses your proximity sensor to detect if the phone is in your pocket, and if not it will unlock your phone when you press the power button.
Going trough my app list now.
Edit:
Found it, it's called Intelligent Keylock Unlocker

I found the same, BUT!
Disabling instead from the recently added 'Tablet Tweaks' menu means it stays disabled. No idea what's wrong with the other disable methods, but this one works. Yay!

I love you.
Now i can reconfigure my Power Widget as i don't need that particular toggle switch any more!
Theres an app on the market called no lock. all it does is gets rid of the lock screen. I was using battery indicator pro for it but hated the notification that was always there.

How to disable the camera button?

For about a week or so now, My camera keeps popping up, and taking pictures without me knowing, or when I'm in the middle of something when the screen is on. I've look at countless threads on other phones and it seems to be successful for others, But I'm guessing this device isn't similar. Anyone have any clue on how to disable the camera button on the side?
I'm on 4.2 and sometimes my pocket can unlock trigger the camera from the lock screen. If that's the case, there's lock screen policy in the market.
Theres also button remapper somewhere on xda to disable the camera button. Can't search since I don't have my computer with me.

Thanks for the heads-up on lock screen policy. I always hated pulling out my phone to see the camera was on.

Cyanogenmod may be able to do what you want...I'll have to double check. May I ask why you want this? You say your proximity sensor doesn't work, I take it that it always senses something is near it? Either way, Pressing the power button usually overrides the screen off due to the proximity sensor.

Yep,that's the problem.From what i've read it's a hardware problem.I'll try cyanogenmod to see if it works.Thnks.
It seems there isn't any option to do that even in Cyanogen.
this is 100% solution to your problem..!
install xposed framework activate it.
reboot, go to download section of that app and install per app hacking module and activate it
search for dialer (com.android.dialer)
and check "prevent service" and "prevent wakelock" .
there are other ways to decactivate services of dialer but i found it easy
