Hi all,
I've installed TouchLockPro as suggested at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5254295#post5254295
Initial testing seems to prove that it has fixed the problem, well it's a workaround.
It senses (via the G sensor) if the phone is held upright during a call and turns the screen off- no need to rely on the poor proximity sensor.
Please test and let me know how you get on.
There doesn't seem to be any config- just install and it works.
If your proximity sensor does not work then return the device. I have no problems with it at all. Only think I would say is for it to also switch things on/off when phone not in use.
I used to have problems with the proximity sensor but it's been working perfectly since I upgraded to 1.48.
FYI- The proximity sensor does work on my phone. It just proves to be intermittent at sensing- this has been documented by other users.
The main problem is that it doesn't work very well next to hair. So I don't have any problems with the proximity sensor, but my wife (with long hair) does.
proximity sensor works fine for me as long as I don't use the keypad during a call; once i enter anything during a call (like calling card number, extensions etc) the proximity sensor stops working.
I think this bug doesn't show up when using the wired headset, have to confirm this though.
After two weeks testing I found out that the original screen protector with the two holes for the sensor makes the problems!!!
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

Hi,
How proximity sensor should work in X10?
Apparently mine doesn't work.
While I talk screen is not blank and I wondering how to enable or adjust proximity sensor to disable touch screen during conversation.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
edit: never mind, i found solution forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736654
So I read in the net about the proximity sensor issue, that the phone is turning on by itself. I did not experience such problem at all, but I do have a problem with the proximity sensor: when I'm on a call, in the most time the screen does not turn off, so I accidentally pres "mute microphone" or turn on "speaker phone", which is very annoying. This is with the 2 OTA updates patched already, was the same before them too.
Do you have such problems, like I do? Anything that we can do to fix this issue?
Sounds like the common proximity sensor problem....
I am getting proximity sensor issues while on call and when checking it in *#0*# Code .
Note: When i put my finger on proximity sensor for some time in draw back my finger for few seconds it works than again screen goes green.
If anyone have the problem beside of me or anyone have fix for that.
Got my screen replaced at a local shop after it cracked.
But now the proximity sensor is not working properly as it always detects that it is covered.
Proximity testing apps show that the sensor always shows the value as 0.0 (covered).
can someone help me on how to disable the proximity sensor completely as i face black screen during calls and can't record/hang-up/put on speaker....
I'm rooted and running cosmic os 7.1.1 so xposed is not a solution
Need help disabling it.
