I have recently swithed the Phone Canvas on my TP2 From the HTC Dialer to the Standard Windows Mobile Dialer. Now the proximity sensor will not shut the screen off when I place it to my ear. I've searched and found topics on this, but no answer. Does anyone know how to enable the proximity sensor on the standard dialer??

I believe there is a program called "InCall Screen Tweak" that is supposed to accomplish such a request.

Just checking to see if anyone else has this problem or knows how I can resolve it

When my Tilt 2 is paired with a Bluetooth headset and I decide to take the call at the handset the proximity sensor is not activated.
Anyone else notice this?
Is there a setting in the registry to fix this?

WHAT! I searched and searched.
Thanks so much!
I've had my proximity sensor randomly stop working... Earlier on the phone I kept hearing things getting touched and sure enough the proximity sensor wasn't working, putting it to my face did not blank the screen.
No softreset, changed nothing, later it was working fine.... Go figure.
Hi
how can i disable the proximity sensor on my HTC Touch Pro 2, windows mobile 6.1 ?
I use a screen lock app that dims the screen during calls but when coming near proximity sensor during call, the screen is turned on again - a real pain.
Please if any onw have an advice to shut it off cpmpletely or when i am on bluetooth i would be really happy for some help
PS i thought paroximitysensor was supposed to disable when tp2 is connected to bluetooth - but its not ??
thanks
Nolan
no one ?
regards nolan
having the exact same issue. I found a cab called TurnOffTheLight but haven't had a chance to try it yet.
For me, it would be better if the proximity sensor was off permanently, if possible.

Hi
could you test teh cab and tell us here if that can turn of permanemtly the proximity sensor ?
regards Nolan
TurnOffTheLight works to turn off the backlighting but as soon as you move the phone the proximity sensor kicks in again.
in the app called Advanced Config there is a category for adjusting the threshold of the Light Sensor. Unfortunately I have no idea how to adjust it (it is at 0 now) and/or if adjusting this would affect the proximity sensor. Can someone comment on this?

Proximity Sensor behavior and solution
I am a late comer to this bb! Hey,I thought all the bugs would be worked out by now! My keyboard did not work right, .... and I have had several other problems with the touchpro2. What are the Chinese doing over there? I had programmed many embedded units and microprocessor systems, but, really, how can they mass produce units like these? Too many cooks in the soup? They are leaving their quality control to the general community.
My problem was I use my gps for bicycling, and if I place it in the support case, the proximity sensor would shut off the screen, even though I was not placing a call. The screen would blank and not come back on. I noticed there was no problem if the physical keyboard was opened and also if the unit were held horizontally. It did this all the time, regardless of the app running.
There are two sensors at the top of the unit: proximity sensor and light sensor. This is a problem with the proximity sensor, at the left.
So I just placed duct tape over it. Now it does not blank.
As you guys might have read my display got broken and i replaced it myself. However in the process I damaged a few thing. The home button does not work and the proximity sensor is broken. The problem with the proximity sensor would just be fixed by disabling the blank screen when calling. Can anyone make a odin package (cannot do update.zip due to broken home button). Or tell me how to disable this function?
Many thanks in advance!
Mine is broken too and now everytime i'm calling the screen turns black. Which is no problem except when you are calling a computer a needs to "2" to proceed.....
Does someone have a sollution?
See this post. it may help, but you need root.

SOLVED.
Used the free app ProximityScreenOff. Its in the market.
Make sure you select the Proximity sensor instead of the Light sensor in settings.

Not solved.
proximity screen off app.
Dosen't solve my problem with screen turn off, during call.
I have a default proximity sensor, which I need to disable.
I can do it, very easy with miui rom.
But I have tried and tried with Cyanogenmod without any luck.

Not really the place for a request, but hey, since it did not seem to bother anyone, go ahead!
Dear all,
Seems some dust is stuck up on my i747s proximity sensor. I will get it cleaned at a later point, but for now I need to disable the proximity sensor. The phone screen just turns off as soon as I dial a number and wont come back up until the call has disconnected. So cannot access the screen while on call.
I am rooted and on CM11 (kitkat). So do not have the TW option to go and disable proximity sensor in call settings. There is an option to disable the driver using hardware disabler app but I found by searching that that is causing a lot of battery drain. Anyway if someone knows the driver name and location for the proximity sensor of i747 then please do share that.
I have tried a couple of sensor test apps and all report that the sensor is active but it has something close to it so basically the sensor is always thinking that its close to the ear.
So need any ideas to disable the proximity sensor completely or at least from being invoked as soon as I place a call. Thanks for any help.
Do you happen to have a screen protector on that's covering the sensor? It can cause the sensor to think its covered. Thus having your screen always off

Thanks for your reply. No Screen Protector on my phone. I have gone through a lot of search results and screen protector has been a common culprit but after hours of searching I think my only option is to disable the sensor. Long term I need to open the thing and clean up the sensor.

Bump...please help!
Wondering if someone (hopefully more than one) can check something to see if this is an issue with my particular phone or something related to the software/hardware. It seems that when a call is placed or received, the proximity sensor goes to "far" and won't reset until it is uncovered and then re-covered. I have searched through the Verizon HTC One forums and have not found anything related to this issue.
If the proximity sensor is covered, and I make a call (via bluetooth headset (double click for last dialed)) or receive a call, the proximity sensor goes to the uncovered state. It then stays in that state until I uncover and then re-cover it. How I checked this was using Elixir 2 and checking the sensor data. I also set up variables in Tasker and Automagic.
So, this was my test procedure:
I start the sensor data in Elixir 2 for the proximity sensor. I cover the sensor with my finger (it now shows "near"). I use my bluetooth headset to place a call. The screen comes on with the current call. I back out of the current screen (the phone screen) and get back to Elixir 2 sensor data. The sensor now shows "far". From that point on, until I uncover the proximity sensor and then cover it, it shows far. I set up variables in Tasker and Automagic that show the same results.
I am running the stock debloated ROM. Rooted and S-Off.
Dont know about the bluetooth thing because i dont have one, but i do have issues sometimes with the proximity sensor when on calls. For example i will dial a number and put the phone to my ear talk awhile and then need to switch to speaker or look at something on the phone while still talking. But when i take the phone away from my ear, the screen stays off, and i have to swipe my finger over the sensor to get it to come back on.
I don't seem to have an issue with that. What seems to happen is that, IF the proximity sensor is covered, and you place a call or answer a call with your headset, when the device "wakes up" to the call screen the proximity sensor defaults to uncovered ( "far" ). Then the sensor does not start responding again until it is actually uncovered.

Anyone?
Hmmm... So, this is the latest for my issue. I went from stock ROM to ViperOne 5.8.0. I am still getting the same results. So, I think I have eliminated the software side of it. Would that be right? So, it could be the firmware or the hardware? I'm still wondering if it's my phone only or if it is an issue with the HTC One in general. Is there anyone that can check this? Or give me another route to take?
I'm on ViperOne 5.8.0
Android 4.4.2
Senses 5.5
Any other info you might need, please just ask.
