Face Down Mute and Light Sensor

I am having problems with the face down mute and light sensor thing. I would love to be able to get these working.
I have tried Schaps Advanced Config, Diamond Tweak and Registry Edits.
I would like the device to go into mute (do not ring calls) when it is put face down
Also, I would like to disable the automatic screen going off on call and let the light sensor detect when it is close to my ear and turn the screen off...
Appreciate your help

I think there is no light or proximity sensor on the HD.

I do nothing and my HD goes silent if I turn it face down.

How.. How How How? ...

I dont know, sorry. It´s simply working. As my HD arrives I do a Hardreset install my software and this works.

Couldnt one then infer that it is obviously a feature of some software you have installed?

Isn't there any setting on:
setting - system - motion sensor or some kind?

Could we have a list of install software on your HD?

Don't sweat it guys!
It just works out of the box!
And fyi the HD has a Light Sensor, G Sensor and Stylus Sensor.

Yes - the light sensor is in the earpiece area (if you have ambient light sensor option checked [default], have it open in a bright room on a mainly white windows screen then cover the earpice area you see the screen dim)

I don't know about it working straight out of the box but you can certainly do it with Gyrator 2.

There certainly is...

Actually, I wanted to start this thread myself..
Face-down-mute does NOT work on my HD. Neither with Gyrator ON, nor whent it is OFF.
I have checked the registry (HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone/MuteFaceDown or smth like this..), the key setting is "1" so technically it should work....... But it Doesn't!!

Face down mute works if you have it face up and somebody calls you. Just turn it face down and ring is muted.
This is only thing I found on this topic.

Turning the phone down mutes incoming calls for me too. no problems there..

This is very useful and it absolutely works. Cool! I thought when we place the phone face down, it would jsut be muted period. I was also assuming that there was a way to do this with Gyrator, but didnt know which event to select on orientation face down. I can turn off the screen, but there is no option in gyrator to mute the phone.
Thanks for the help though.

This is what I also assumed, when I am in the meeting and get a call I put it face down and it mutes, but then when someone else calls I need to face it up then down again which ideally doesn't work for me.
Isn't there a key like FaceDownMuteAll = 1?

Unfortunately i have the same problem. Flipping the phone is not muting the ring. Maybe its something to do with what we install. Also another strange issue no matter what i do i have the active sync always running in the background.

I have changeScreen installed and if I disable it it works. I think gsenor apps are the cause

It works straight out of the box, I installed all sort of Gsense apps and it removed and face down mute still works fine.
Even in the case it is faced down and someone ring, I just have to face up, see whos is calling and face down again, it muted.

[Q] Disable Proximity Sensor

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

Phone wake when pulling away from face

Hey guys, here's my question.
My wife and I both have the s4. I'm on mf9 rooted, she's on stock unrooted mdl. My phone has always screen waked when I'm on a phone call and pull it away from my face during the call. My wife's does not. I have to manually wake it up once by pressing power. Then anytime after that during the same phone call it will auto wake like I want it to when I pull it away. After I hang up it starts the whole process all over again.
Any suggestions? It looks like all the settings are the same on both phones.

Do you have the "Turn off screen during calls" option checked? To get there, open the Phone app, go into the Keypad tab, click the menu button, and check to see if that option is checked. With it checked, the screen should turn on when you pull your face away from the phone during a phone call.

A screen protector can effect this if it is covering a sensor up above. But this feature can be turned on and off go into the Motion and Gestures under settings and make sure its on.

You might have a faulty proximity sensor on that phone. I had the same problem and it had to be sent to Samsung to be replaced/fixed.

If the option is not turned on, then when he places the phone against his face. The screen would stay on. Right now his problem is the screen is turning off when it's placed on his ear, but will not turn back on when it's taken away unless he pushes the power to turn it back on. I had the same exact thing and it was a faulty proximity sensor that had to be replaced.

[Q] screen off during calls

trying to help a guy i work with, he has a verizon galaxy s5, i think he turned off the prox sensor because the screen now will not turn off when he takes a call and puts it up next to his ear, I looked though all the settings and didn;t see the option to turn it on or off in there like i have on my note 3. Does anyone have an idea where samsung hide that option in the settings, any help would be appreciated
thanks

I guess I thought this was normal behavior. This is news to me. Every other phone I've owned, when you put the phone up to your ear it turns off likely to conserve battery, and so the phone doesn't get too hot.

That is the normal behavior to turn off screen but I know there's a setting to make it so it'll stay on. At least there is on my note 3 and other phones I have had in the past. I just can't find it on his phone with the new layout of settings they did for the s5

Smart View screen off?

Hi guys,
Is there really no way to turn off the phone screen when using smart view? I've been searching and there doesn't seem to be any threads in regards to the issue, so hopefully I'm just being stupid.
Surely such an obvious feature can't be missing?
Thanks

you need to install smart view app and configure in settings

With the latest android update, while connected to my tv with smart view (Note 8), my phone screen turns off after a few seconds. How can I set this so that it stays on? (I use it for exercise and sometimes want it on tv and sometimes on my phone. I don't want my phone screen to turn off.)

I've a note8 and I want my screen to be off.. somehow even after the update, my screen is still on. Can anyone point me to the right direction on where is the setting for this? Thanks

That is exactly what I also need - Connected with Smart View my Tab S3 Screen should stay ON - can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way?

Screen locks ...goes dim
Launch the app you want to screen cast then swipe down or up on ur screen...the app you are having trouble with is associated with a game booster .
Click on advanced settings of game booster/ launcher and disable "auto screen lock"

Hi, was wondering if anyone had further answers on this. Particularly the screen going off after few minutes whilst using smart view?. I have tab s3 and it does this whilst using zwift, it does not appear to be linked to a game booster or launcher (or j can't find that setting).
The screen doest lock i just need to swipe it to revive it, but i wish it could stay on so i can use both screens ?
Thanks all

Solved
Its seems there is nothing you can do when smart screen is activated. Even the 'screen always on' apps that are out there are ignored while smart screen is active. Also the alwzys on in developer options is ignored.
However i found a solution with an app called Macrodroid. Create a macro to be trigged when smart screen is running , adding always on screen as the action and its working fine :good::good:
I think this would also work in reverse for those of you who are having problem wiyh screen not dimming or going standby

This did not work for me. The Macrodroid isn't even recognizing Smart View being opened.
