x10 screen wont turn off in-call

I always seem to touch the "end call" button with my cheek when I'm calling someone since my god damn screen wont turn off when I'm in-call.
Anyone else experienced this ?

depends on my experiences, the screen turn off when u r in call after (5-10 sec) coz the sensor of screen in covered thought in call just in foryo 2.2 the screen turn off directly( this sensor located in the upper right corner of screen in x10
So if your screen not turn off all the time when in call is active ,so you need to check the sensor it's work or not
i think the is software to check all the sensor and bluetooth,wifi....etc named benchmark in the market try to download it but first check ur screen after 10sec when u r in call and check the sitting ok

Hi - The proximity sensor disables the screen - you can test that it's working by going into the service menu and checking it.. it's Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back.. Then go into the service tests menu and check if it works... if it's working in there, then I suspect that you may be using a task killer and it's interfering with the workings of your phone.. ditch the task killer, it's a waste of resources anyway..

I have this problem as well & I know the sensor is working because I went into test mode & ran the test. I have no task killers installed & the screen stays on during a call. The screen shuts off at the set screen timeout interval but the sensor doesn't seem to do anything, except in the test mode.
On other phones like the N1 & IPhone 3GS if you cover up the sensor the screen will shut off but with the X10 it stays on.

I have this problem to! If anybody knows something please tell us.

Me too, may because Firmware bug?

no this sensor responsible to check in call and turn off screen but i guess there is problem in firmware (BUGS) coz if there screen not turn off the battery will drain via (2-3)H of call !!! not possible

The sensor disables the screen ...
It doesn't turn it off. Your screen will turn off after your normal screen time out.
Easy to test, ring someone then cover the sensor with your finger and try pressing end call. It is locked so won't end the call. Remove your finger and press the end call. Call ends!

Your right!!!
Strange way to do things IMO because it's a waste of battery leaving the screen on. I still think the sensor software is buggy because I've been in calls where I accidentally hit end call with my face .

Proximity sensor problem! [SOLVED!]

Hi everyone, welcome to the next thread of mine where I would like to share with you an interesting case of a'faulty' proximity sensor. The issue with the sensor started a few weeks ago (I own my defy for a few months) and the problem I had with it was that sometimes during I was making a call the screen was not being turned off, and more whats more annoying - the screen was never turned on again after finishing the call.
I do not have a screen protector and the screen glass is original.
I downloaded an application that showed the state of the sensor and after a many examinations i found out that many times the sensor does not distinguish between the states of being covered and uncovered.
I tried everything - factory reset, clean installations, different ROMs - nothing helped. The only thing that helped a little was a tweak availale in the CM7 ROM by Quarx (not available in the STABLE CM7 though!) in the screen settings menu -which forced the screen to be turned on after finihing a call, and I could also set the power button to end a call in the accessibility options. So this helped but did not solve my problem.
Fortunately, after many questions asked on so many threads, the user monecafe PMed me with a link to a video where its clrealy shown what is the problem and how easy it is to fix it!
without sayng more - here is the solution for anybody experiencing this issue:
http://youtu.be/uMk1S90MjbY
I hope this helps !
& a BIG THANK YOU to monecafe who sent me this video

this is great, very simple solution but...
how will that affect the water resistant feature of our defys?

try turning off auto-brightness
posting to say... try turning off auto-brightness (worked for me)

I used to have this problem. Stable CM7.2 solves this issue for me. I used to get the screen to turn on before by just rubbing the area with the proximity sensor with my thumb as if it was dirty.

i still have this problem. , after the Waterproof failed with my phone ( i dont leave it in water, i just wash it !! the proximity sensor failed too when i make a call screen is black cant see anything..so my question is if i change the screen touch proximity sensor work?? or its on the board ? where is the proximity sensor place?..how can i solve this problem by myself.
i saw the video but not solve the problem..
i back to stock ROM _there_ if i press power button the screen back but in coustoms ROMs the screen off not back till remove the battery!! any software make screen on at call and disible the proximity sensor ?
thank you inadvance

CAN I GET THE TECHNICAL GUIDE(MAP) OF BOARD?

I also have problems with proximity sensor. With pressure on the screen where the sensor is located it is working again.
So I can believe that changing the screw pressure might solve the problem. But what is the initial reason for this? It is not a pressure sensor!

Hello All, I've been using the proximity sensor app on my DHD for quite some time now... LOVE IT ! However, now when I open the app & tap on Start & cover the proximity sensor on the phone, there is NO RESPONSE... Meaning the msg stays FAR... It DOES NOT change to NEAR.... Can anyone help me out ? CHEERS !

Found a possible Solution suggested by a supplier on Amazon;Switch off the phone - Hold power button & volume down button
simultaneously to bootinto factory testmode - use volume swith toscroll thru to 'test report' - select with the home key - scroll down to 'PS calibration' - select it then scroll to 'do calibration' let it do the calibration till it gives OK.Go back to 1st menu & reboot.
Was only partially successful forme, it may work for you.

Is this applicable for Motorola Defy or for the Chinese clone?
I tried this on my Defy running JB 4.1.2. I cannot get into the "factory testmode" even after pressing the VOL down key at boot up.
I just get a screen with an exclamation and the android bot.
Nothing happens after that.
BTW: What size of screw driver should I use to perform the trick in the video posted by the OP.

Black Screen in Yu Yureka

Hi everyone,
My phone display is not waking up by double tap or by power button and hence i'm not able to use the phone. Rest of the phone is working fine.
I'll be grateful if somebody could help me out on this issue.Thanks in advance.

Same is the case with me. I was asked to try resetting any changes made in the Performance menu. Try it, this may help.

Please explain more clearly-
If your phone is not waking up by double tap or by power button, does it wake up on an incoming call ?
How can you say that rest of the phone is working fine ?

YUREKA YU screen blacked out after reducing brightness
My phone display is blacked out after i reduced the brightness bar... can anyone help how to enable the screen

Flash a torch at tip of the phone near the sensor....then you have to be quick to increase the brightness

As someone reported, if you enable automatic brightness and color correction and reduce the brightness to the lowest, the screen would switch off forever. The only way back is a factory reset or restoring an backup.

just managed to fix this
I was in a real hurry yesterday and must have accidentally set brightness to all 0. And then bam..black screen
here's how i fixed it.
Downloaded this: http://droid-at-screen.ribomation.com/installation/
This mirrors the phone screen on pc using the jar file. Needs adb debugging to be enabled and accessible from pc.
Doesnt allow you do send touch inputs though.
Probably other solutions exist, like miracast etc. But the above app was my first try and it worked.
I kept my super awesome OPO next to the yureka, as a reference for screen position.
looking at the yu screen on pc, i activated, logged in to the phone, and then pushed my brightness up. All on a blank display. Also doing the same in parallel on the OPO, for reference point.
And, the yu screen lit up.
(if not this, may have to edit some system files, but didnt work in my trials..or backup device and then factory resent and then restore back)

How to fix screen goes dark after manually setting brightness zero
Almost all users are facing this issue. If you manually move the brightness slider to low (extreme left) the screen goes completely dark. You will not be able to see the screen. I tried it but kept the finger on the slider at all time so that I could move the slider and get the right screen brightness.
If you had manually changed the brightness to low and removed your finger from the slider. You sure are looking at a blank screen though the phone is still active. To fix it you will need to blindly follow these instructions. Your phone screen is dark, you will not see anything, unlock the phone (hope you are using swipe to unblock). Once done use two fingers to swipe from top screen to bottom. Note you will still see a blank screen, now tap and hold the finger in the center screen a slightly above the volume down button line – that is where the brightness slider is. If you don’t see the screen lighting up, tap again around the same area, you will get.

ok

This was the exact problem I faced rather than as mentioned every where fix for
Proximity sensor .Tourch solution is the quickest one to resolve it.
In my case I used another smart phone to put light on yureka just there where microphone or message notification led is there.Miraculously it works yureka reflect back then
You bring back normal brightness.Explaining this as original and was too short to
Comprehend easily.

Though this issue may have been solved , the problem mostly is the proximity sensor setting. In dialer, dial *#*#7769#*#*.
This is the setting/calibration window. Press start and keep your ear to the sensor. Remember the value and press exit. Mine was 49.

[Q] G2 Proximity sensor calibration problems

After LP update I noticed, that my phone is having issues with proximity sensor during calls. Usually it happens more often when I hold it by my ear with left hand, but happened already even o right ear. Screen goes on during call and I press buttons with my ear, usually ending up with call on hold. I dont remember these problems on KK.
So I went to service menu and tried HW Device Test (2nd option in service menu) - ACL Proximity test. It seems to work quite well, phone detects my hand closing to proximity sensor at cca 3-4 cm activating NEAR state.
But when I go to Device test (1st option in service menu) and select Service Menu - Auto Test then in shows Pass on first screen, so I manually touch Pass button. And on second screen it says in red Proximity Cal Fail. And only option is to slide Exit button to end test. Seems that my proxy sensor calibration is failing, but maybe I'm supposed to do something to avoid that? Can someone verify, if it is standard behavior of this test? Thanks ahead...

@Wlk is this issues resolved sir ? I got the same with yours

Here's a solution that I discovered. In the Autotest (see OP post), choose "FAIL" instead. Then, it will let you calibrate the sensor by asking you to cover the sensor, and uncover the sensor. Then, it will recalibrate properly and all the proximity sensor issues vanish . Exit the Hidden Menu and you're done.

please HELP § my proximity sensor is not working properly S5 G900F

Hi
I have a problem with my proximity sensor on my SM G900F
When I call someone, the screen goes black and I have to push the power button to wake it up. same thing with listening to whatsapp audios for exemple.
I tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569141 but it's not working . I did it first time and the sensor was working until I put my hand near to it then it turns off ( it's normal ) but when I take my hand away the screen is stuck in black ( not normal ) and when I try to repeat the call it goes black from the first time not when I get my hand close to it and stay like that. I did the whole things again but this time it does not work at all.
Now the phone vibrates always in the test of sensors *#0*#
I have no problem with disactivating the sensor ( if it's possible) but I did not find from where to turn it off ( in Phone settings section )
Any help please ?

Oh I hope to be a way. What about Exposed Module ?
