First Problem:
My HTC Surround has the promble of light sensor when I call somebody it automatically turns off.
I must sway my hand in front of the screen then after few second it is becoming normal.
Second Problem:
My HTC Surround's volume turns down automatically and I use the earphone which is not the origin.
Please forgive my bad English writting~

I'm having trouble with the proximity sensor on my HD2. It works if the phone is pressed up directly on my ear, but if I move it away just the slightest, the screen comes back. Is there somewhere I can access the proximity sensor settings, and give myself a bit more room? Like, say, anything inside an inch shuts off the screen?
ROM info is in the sig, and I'm using the HTC phone dialer, if that makes any difference.

Aw balls, I hate it when there's a thread for this, and my impatience with searching failed to find it.
Thanks!
Doesn't sound like that app does anything for the sensitivity, unless i missed it. it just makes the screen stay off after the sensor is activated.
However the point of the proximity sensor is to shut off the screen so your ear isn't pressing buttons. If you've got the phone far enough away from your ear to reactivate the screen, then there's no longer a need to turn off the screen to prevent ear dialing.
If you're worried about power savings, the screen should shutoff in a minute or so, depending on your screen timeout options

correct, I haven't found a way to change the sensitivity for it, just turn it on or off. I believe the way the sensor works like a motion sensor in a store, either you are there or not... Hardware driven on sensitivity, not software.

I actually posted about the sensor in another post. The sensor is just an IR LED and a photo diode. The photo diode looks for the reflected IR when the phone is near something like your ear.
The IR LED only turns on during a phone call. Try this get a digital camera with a live preview and aim it at the 2 dots where the proximity sensor is, you'll see the IR LED light up when you initiate a call
The same photo diode is used to alter the screen brightness depending on the ambient light that hits it
hi there,
i am getting a black screen after i call someone or they call me.
it must be the light sensor because putting it next to a bright light fixes it and the screen returns
i am using:
MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3 android rom
chuckysdroidrom
radio: 2.50.15
does anyone know how to fix this problem?
thanks
that's what happens to me too. I think it's the proximity sensor too
any thoughts on a fix?
I just started testing Android on my HD2 and I got the same effect. Even if I press the physical key to turn the screen on, nothing happens. My current solution is to connect the USB cable to charge the battery. The key comes back to life all of a sudden.
Unfortunately, this isn't a viable solution when you're far from your home plug :-D

heyy,
im using Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.4_Clean_S6.1 on my hd2 and when i call someone i get a black screen and i cant get out of it even if the call ends unless if someone calls me back
any ideas how to fix it ?
Hi, do you use a screen protector ?, you should not recover or clean the proximity sensor in the upper side of HD2
no
everything is fine when i use wm6.5. it only happens with android !!
Help please !!!
when you call, the head is next to the proximity sensor, hence making the screen black.
Hello, I'd like to ask you if the proximity sensor works during a call.
It happens that when I put the phone next to my ear, sometimes the call ends because I touch the end call area with my face.
Is there a way to see if the proximity sensor is disabled?
I'm not sure but mine works perfectly so far..
Yea, the problem was that I used the viva-voice (I don't know the english translation).
maybe you touch the screen and end call? when you close far phone to the head wait one second and then backlight is off... but dont touch the screen yuor ear or cheek before the scren isn't off.
During a call the screen goes black (the proximity sensor works) but the screen is active and i touch buttons with my ear or my cheek.
Where is the problem?
P.S. The screen+frame was changed.
