I there any settings or something to adjust proximity sensor? I was trying to turn off screen covering sensor with thumb, but.. no effect.
Does it need any setting or my phone is faulty?
I noticed the same thing on my phone today.
The proximity sensor doesn't work if you've switched off the Automatically adjust backlight option in Settings>Sound & Display>Backlight. There doesn't seem to be any way around this as the proximity sensor doesn't have its own option.
Are you in a call? You need to be calling/receiving a call for it to work.
I agree, I think you need to be in a call for the proximity sensor to work properly.
For me it works fine. And i don´t hade automatic backlight on.

That's interesting because I can toggle my proximity sensor (whilst in a call) by toggling the automatic backlight. That option must be linked to something else as well.
Screen goes black
I do have the same behavior, when I make a call the phone's screen goes black automatically so if I need to press any key have to press send to get my screen back, then use the keypad, nonsense, is anyone having the same issue ?
for me, the proximity sensor doesn't work at all. I have the automatic backlight setting and yet it still doesn't work. any idea why?
SP300
I just found the solution, I have got the screen protector on "The Original HTC SP300" and is causing the screen to go blank when you do a phone call, If a remove it a little bit from the top left corner and make a call works as spec.
For people having issues with the proximity sensor (eg. not turning on/off while in a call)
there is a toppic at modaco with a calibration procedure that seemed work nicely to everyone.

basically you should go to the dialer and dial *983*0#
test your light and proximity sensors and then the calibration button
I don't know if it is the proximity sensor or not, but when I go outside my screen just turns off. Whether its in the boot animation or android fully loaded, it just turns off everytime I'm outside. Like the phone is oversensitive to daylight or something. Running cm7 latest nightly and I have tried other nightlies but same issue. Any ideas?

It's not the proximity sensor. Proximity sensor only works when the phone is in call.
You might have meant light sensor, but it can't turn off the screen.
Ok guys my question is this, when i have knockon enabled, if i am covering the proximity sensor, the screen does not turn on. So, am i right to assume that this phone has the proximity sensor always on when knock on is enabled?
That would also mean that using apps with pocket mode(meaning they use the proximity sensor to turn on the screen automatically when you remove the phone from pocket) would have absolutely no extra battery drain because the proximity sensor is already always on. Am i correct?

I m using maxpro m2 4gb varient.Recently, my phone has been having a problem with the proximity sensor during calls. When I finish a call, or want to look at my screen, the screen does not turn on by itself so I need to put my finger at proximity sensor then screen to light up or else the screen still goes black. This is very annoying! When i turn off ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS feature in Display options my problem resolved.what is this problem?? Am i only facing??
I also tested my sensors it is working and also my display is not covered with tampered glass etc..
