Is there an app that can monitor the proximity sensor based on a user defined list of apps and turn off the screen?
For example; the US T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app is nice to have, BUT when you place the phone to your ear (to listen to the voicemail) it may tap the close icon or activate something. It definitely needs the auto screen off feature.
Add in the ability to also use the g-sensor and when the phone is upside down (or sideways) and the proximity sensor (or light sensor) is triggered, put the phone to sleep. This would be triggered when the phone is about to be placed into my pocket.
I agree. I find that if I put the HD2 up to my ear to hear a Visual Voicemail message, I invariably hit the screen with some part of my ear which stops playback and often initiates deleting the recording. Surely there is a way to activate the proximity sensor while running this app?
it will be nice to fring o r numbuzz too

Just need this kind of software, I will make a try, thank you!
Someone may have a same problem with me.
It is the touch screen problem during the call.
When you use a bluetooth device or handfree device to answer a call or make a call, the screen will be on, then may touch anything, such as end the call, mute or hold.
Although there have a light sensor, but i dont know why keep touching anything in my pocket.
After i search information about this, i find "After Call Locker", but it only lock the screen after the call, not during the call, so i do it.
My app can screen off(lock the screen) when you make a outgoing call or answer the call.
AUTO CALL LOCK SCREEN(Free but advertisement, Displays only when you open the program to do a configuration)

or
AUTO CALL LOCK SCREEN PLUS(paid but no advertisement, because of the google service library, so this one file size are very less)

Sorry and hope you can understand my poor english.
Thank You.

If I'm wearing my neckbuds and someone calls me with my phone in my pocket, I am prone to adding other people to the call and hanging up, due to the display not turning off, ever. Toggling the bluetooth function inside the call enables earpiece and turns on the proximity sensor again, and turning on speakerphone creates the same situation as with bluetooth enabled.
I've tried multiple apps to resolve this issue, among them "Llama", which configured correctly will turn off the display every time I pick up the phone and bluetooth is enabled. However this turns it off even if I'm actively using the phone and also requires me to unlock the phone via my security pattern due to a third-party app turning off the screen (versus my usual fingerprint unlock).
"On Call Proximity" would've done the trick, had it only worked on my model.
I've tried so many different dialer apps I don't have count of them, and those that do have a replacement for the in-caller look like crap and has pretty limited functionality.
The proximity sensor is not positioned in the center and this make the display to turn on automatically if I move the phone slightly while I am on the call. The calling screen app is buggy, it will turn on the display automatically even if I press the power button to turn off the display while I am on the call. This issue still didn't get fixed in the latest update. I am so annoyed with the calling screen that I have to rely on earphones to make calls now. Any solution?

This issue didn't affect me, because I am using BT headset mostly.

Hi, have the same issue. This is hell. Did you found any solution or tips to avoid it? Such a great phone bud this is killing it ...
I've noticed that the proximity sensor doesn't work as it should be working while speaking at the phone, taking a call.
At a slight movement of the head the screen goes on and off, when it should stay permanently black. Does anyone else noticed this problem as well?
Not a problem as such, but that's how MIUI works. The moment it detects your ears are off the phone, it lights up the screen for you.
