Touch In Call Screen not working on the HD2

I tried to install this great piece of soft, Touch In Call Screen Tweak, because I am not totally satisfied with the way the HD2 manages the backlight during a phone call.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
Sadly, for some reasons it seems that Touch In Call Screen Tweak does not work on the HD2.
Did someone try? Any idea to make it work?
thanks...

Sorry but in what way are you not happy with the way the HD2 handles the screen during a call?
Surely what Touch In Call Screen Tweak tries to emulate using the G-Sensor etc. the proximity sensor does effortlessly on the HD2. I really don't see what you would want to install Touch In Call Screen Tweak. Unless I am missing something?

Richard,
Because I think that Touch In Call screen is far more efficient:
- The HD2 only uses the proximity sensor, whatever the position of the device,
- Touch In Call Screen combines the proximity sensor AND the G-sensor.
I am using my HD2 a lot, and sometimes during the phone call I touch the screen and enter in the Menu by mistake. The HD2 system does not work all the time.

I have not experienced any issues yet with the proximity sensor and knocking menu buttons.
I also didn't realise the software could use the proximity sensor as I thought it was designed around devices like the Diamond & HD which don't have proximity sensors.
I find that If the phone is away from my ear then I would ussually want the screen on. Not sure how it handles the screen when using speaker phone though.

Touch Incall screen tweak doesn't use proximity sensor, it uses the g-sensor and the light sensor to emulate what a real proximity sensor does.
I haven't used it on HD2 but previously I've found it difficult to set up because of confusing wording in program settings. So I wouldyousuggest that you try to fiddle with them a little more.
On a side note, while TICST is just an attempt to emulate the real sensor in HD2, it has an option to keep screen off while using headset, which is something I'm badly missing now...

Hi, anybody knows how to change the settings of incall screen off on HD2? My HD2 don´t dim the screen while i cover the proximity sensor during a call.
Is there any menu or registry setting?

Touch screen stays on during call (phone by ear)
I have the same problem: my touch screen stays on during a call when I have the phone by my ear. I have this since I upgraded to the official HTC 1.66 rom. Anyone experiencing this as well? Any solutions? Help would be appreciated...

Hi. Same here. My screen stays on as well. Did someone got a solution?

nosh10, that's interesting. Which cooked ROM did you flash, and did it solve the problem of the screen in call? Besides that, does the ROM work well, or does it cause other problems?
I have the same problem as everybody else here, using stock ROM 1.66. Screen doesn't turn off reliably in call (sometimes yes, other no), leading to push buttons, hang up call, accidental conference call with Australia, China, and US .

Looking for lock screen App when Receving and Making call (touchscreen too sensitive)

HI,
just looking for some *.cab or tips to lock the HTC HD2 screen when i receve or make a call...
U know, several times the call ending because just touching the screen with my hear... so, i've tried some tips like cab to render the screen less sensitive, but is not working nice.
My last experience was good with Inesoft Phone v.6.05.cab, this suite can manage many thinks and for me the nice one was this one (can lock the screen when receve a phone call) Because most of the functions aren't useful for me i have uninstaled, also drain% LOW my battery very fast...
Well, anyway, i just wana know first if some ppl get same problem about this like me, after folded many threads here, i never see somone talking about...
Yes i've see about screen sensitive problem report but not when making call or answering...
Thank you for ur opinion ur suggest and may ur solutions...
Official rom FR 1.66
using cookies uptade with CHT( last version)
bye, sorry for my poor english

ugh i have the same problem dude. the lockscreen doesnt lock during calls for some reason. well it locks then unlocks randomly. people suggest using s2u2 but it looks like sth from iphone and i dont like it. theres also pocketprotector but its paid and i cant be bothered paying 15$

I've got the same problem and searching for a .cab.
Incoming calls often ending when I pull the phone out of my pocket

Pocketshield should work for you. You can lock the screen and protect the hard press keys as well when recieving calls. It has many other features I have found handy as well. Their is a free demo you can download from their site. I love the proximity sensor...I leave it locked and when I pull it out of my pocket it automatically unlocks.

Isn't there a proximity sensor in HD2 already? The purpose of the sensor is to disable the screen when approaching to your ear, so it cannot end the conversation accidentally.

I have the same problem and it has been discussed on here before.
Seems to be an issue with light entering the proximity sensor. I cut people off and the keypad starts dialling when I go outside or enter bright sunlight and my head isn't covering the sensor properly (at least that's what seems to happen).

afaik the proximity sensor has nothing to do with light... the fact that the screen turns on i think it's a bug... for me it never turns on when speaking if i have my phone by the ear... instead sometimes the screen turns on when making a call and it starts ringing in the earpiece and again when the other part answers...

yes there is a proximity sensor in the HD2, but this one for me is never working in regard of this problem, working wel only when i receve a call to diminue the sound from the ringtone when approching the phone, nothink else...
bye

Your right this is another think. light and sensor working in different way for this problem.

you really need to RTFM... what has to do the proximity senzor with quiet mode (volumes drop when you pick up the phone from a table or somthg)?.... that is triggered by the g-sensor...

[Q] the telephone...

So now lets talk real world experience of the phone interface
When it blanks the phone buttons seem to operate...
I mean a number of occasions I have lost people because I have mysteriously put them on hold...with the phone to my ear.
People are always complaining to me that I am quiet even though the phone is in the correct place on my face and incall volume is at max
Often I cannot pick up calls ...I hit the answer icon to no avail...if I flick it upscreen it works but pressing the icon is only recognised intermittently
What is it like for you?

have to tried to factory data reset the phone to see if that helps?

This is called the incall/proximity sensor issue and the reasons have not yet been found by xda people.
There are few fixing attempts available though which involve different strategies.
Someone lately suggested to the ViperOne team to make a tweak that allows for automatically locking the phone on call pick up as a permanent workaround fix. There was no developer response on this yet though. Its a good idea though.
The same sensor is causing another issue which is quite frustrating. On some occasions the normal method of simulated battery pull (press power for more than 15 seconds to force reboot) does not do anything unless shining a really bright light into the sensor. Apparently the prox sensor, not the light sensor.
It seems there are a few units out there which have issues with this sensor.
Another theory is that its jut the user tilting the phone until it recognizes landscape orientation and then the sensor is switched off...

[Q] How to turn off proximity sensor during call ?

it's so annoying that everytime when i talk on the phone for a long period, the screen turns on automatically cuz of the sensor, even tho i pressed the power button to turn it off, it will flash on again if my face isn't close enough to the sensor, so most of the time my face would touch the screen and do some stupid things like hanging up the call, changing the setting or sending a random text to someone etc.
The proximity sensor is useful in some ways, but is there any way that I can disable it during calls ?

ghost/phantom touch issue in 1+7pro not solved

I have reading the forum and tried contacting 1+7 also but they just say switch off nfc and so on but till today (1 month since I bought it ) I still have the problem . while making a call it goes on hold or connects another call or something or the other happens and the other person gets irritated as if I am doing on purpose. I am still unable to solve this will changing rom be the solution or can someone please help I am fed up with this instrument

My 2 cents... are you sure that it's a ghost touch issue? To me it seems more a proximity sensor trouble... it is possible that, while in call, screen doesn't go off (or wake up while you're talking) and your ear triggers commands at random.
Try to check that your screen remains black while in call, else you could try to reset sensors with one of the apps available on Play Store.
BTW: I had a similar problem one or two times, but maybe because I wasn't so near the phone while I was talking.

will try out can you advice reset sensors apps

Search for "Proximity sensor reset" or similar names. Usually apps like that needs root privileges, btw.

I've had problems with the screen waking up and then causing problems while in call too. This while it's still against my face. Apparently touching my face makes it go into other apps and causes problems. I've had it go into airplane mode, mute and do other weird stuff.
I've had the screen go crazy with multiple chains of taps too, especially while holding it in landscape mode.
Turning the refresh rate down to 60 Hz helped some, but the problem's still there.
I think there's something jacked in their implementation. I came from an S8 that had a curved screen and I never had the phantom tap problems I have with this thing.

Disabling double tap to wake resolved my screen wakeup during calls issue...

UPG to 9.5.10 Plz - Issue has disappeared again.

I'll try that, but I don't think I have that enabled. I disabled NFC for the other tap issues and that helped some.
I really wish there was a screen calibration tool. Samsung curved screens have none of these issues.

Do you have a dirty screen protector?

This is a known bug with the proximity sensor, although, actually, I believe the root cause is something else.
Screen does go black, which indicates the proximity sensor is working and recognizes your face is near... But input is still allowed (meaning it does not lock it).
As a result, during a call your face/ear will press whatever is underneath and trigger random actions.
I believe (I hope?) that OnePlus is aware of this issue and they issue a fix.
I think it was briefly fixed for 9.5.9 and then reverted on 9.5.10 since it introduced other issues.
Quality control has been a bit subpar on the OnePlus 7 Pro builds when compared to my previous OnePlus phones...
