In-call and after-call screen annoyances

Having some annoyances with the Desire when it comes to calls:
1. When using headset (Bluetooth or otherwise) and device is in pocket - random stuff goes on there, and after the call the screen turns on. Very silly. Ideas?
2. When calling without headset, automatic screen turn-on and turn-off (based on accelerometer, if I bring it down or up vertically to my face) makes life hell. I don't like looking down at the device. I wanna turn this stupid feature off. Anyone?
Thanks!

[Q] Proximity/Light Sensor sensitivity adjustment

I was looking for an adjustment(i assume it is a registry edit) that would allow me to increase the sensitivity of the light or proximity sensor. I'm not sure which one governs the screen turning itself off during calls when it is up to your ear but I am having a problem with hitting buttons and especially turning the phone into airplane mode during calls.
Thanks for any help.

A fix for horrible sound settings?

Is there any way (with or without root) to fix these idiotic sound settings?
If I set the device to silent it goes into Do Not Disturb mode which also stops me from getting ANY notifications on my Gear Fit 2 or other smart watches.
I want to get all of my notifications just like when the phone is in vibrate mode but I don't want it to vibrate. The vibration mechanism in this phone is super low quality and vibrates so loud on my work desk. Looking for a way to set the device to silent without turning on DND. I want notifications but no vibration.
Any ideas?

Proximity sensor emits IR always

I recently find out that my S9 keep emitting IR from the proximity sensor, is that normal or it's something not right happening on my phone.
P/s: I did some Google and found out that S9 has 2 proximity sensors, but why it has to be two of them but not one like other phones?
Also the IR led on the video below can only be seen via a surveillance camera, not via other phone's camera.
Please see my video

I have CCTV on my house and at night when people walk past using their phone you can see the same thing, probably for the "Block accidental touches in a dark place", as the screen off when making a call 'should' only activate the IR when you are on a call
Also if you are playing a voice message on WhatsApp and put your hand too close the to proximity sensor it stops the playback
Phone camera as an IR block filter to filter out IR, although you can still see TV Remotes IR with it
Thank you for your comment, but event when I turn that function off, the IR still blinking.
I know I may just being over-thinking but it's bugging me still.
Even though I could not see it blinks but I still know it's blinking always without any explanation.
Easy screen turn on
I finally know the reason why.
It's the "Easy screen turn on" feature that keep the proximity sensor emitting IR.
Once turn it off, the sensor no longer emits IR.

Question Fingerprint haptic feedback can't be turned off?

hi guys
is it possible to turn off the fingerprint haptic feedback without turning off the whole vibration (i.e when ringing or in notifications) ?
