does anyone know of a software that simply reverses the display of the screen. by no fault of my own i accidently got my phone lodged into my dashboard on my car. before promptly removing it, however, i noticed that the reflection on my windshield looked like a perfect heads up display (hud.) and then it got me thinking. navigation software + plus my titan + plus velcro = the perfect heads up display system. then i realized that everything on the glass was backwards. which completely makes my idea worthless because im not very good at directions anyway, let alone trying to train my mind to turn right when the arrow points left.
so bottom line: does anyone know of any software that will flip the display over vertically or horizontally. any type of mirroring and i should be able to make this work. thanks in advance!
Your windshield is acting as one mirror, so just rig up another mirror and your display will be back to normal.

its funny you suggest this, i put serious thought into doing just that. i know that on ebay you can always buy those "lenses" that turn a 10inch tv into a big screen with rear projection and i know those lenses refract the light in a way that it just reverses the image, so i thought about maybe trying to get something like that. but it could just make my screen huge......
Hi everybody,
Got myself a brand new Touch Pro last monday and really love the thing. However, after playing with it for the past few days, it somehow stopped reacting to stylus take outs. Both when in sleep mode, as in a call. It won't wake up or pull up the notes application, respectively. I didn't drop the device or anything. Just installed some apps.
Anyone experiencing the same thing? Or does someone know of a certain option or registry entry that I can check?
Thanx! Scott
EDIT:
I tackled the problem! For anyone else experiencing this problem:
There is a tiny switch located at the top of the cut out for the stylus. Check whether this switch is obstructed. Mine got stuck under the casing of the device. Maybe this can happen randomly when inserting the stylus.
If anyone of you have had a similar problem, please report it here. If it is common, we should report it to HTC as well.
Scott
see and i thought the pro didn't wake up like the diamond does. now realize u have to take it fully out to wake.
Out of curiosity how did you clean it out? The only way I can see to do it is to pull the phone apart or just blow backwards down where the stylus rests.
I've had the stylus jam up inside the casing on me a few times. Quite possibly the battery sitting funny inside the case, a guy on whirlpool mentioned it.
ugh this happened to me today... how did you fix yours?... i don't really see where the dam trigger for this thing is
How to fix
I fixed mine using a toothpick and a flashlight. Use the flashlight to shine into the stylus silo. When you look closely you can see a tiny switch about 1cm upwards from the bottom of the device.
The switch roughly looks like this: _/|_ When you insert the stylus it "rolls" in a upward direction. Mine got stuck at the top of the square hole where the switch normally points out.
I carefully used the toothpick to pull it back out. I carefully pushed it in a little bit and made a downward movement. It popped right out to its normal position.
I hope this helped!
Scott
I'm having the same problem... Can someone post a photo so I know what to look for?
Same problem here, fixed by flicking the switch a couple of times.
Quick idea, maybe install the program: Gyrator2.
If it's not a sensor problem, I believe it might help since it's one of the specified rule and the program is quite useful anyway
This problem will happen if you jab your stylus into the slot without being careful. It won't touch it's switch. So it'll slide to the side. I'd suggest you point a flashlight at it and find out.
I found this thread when looking up how to solve my stylus issue, out of the blue it has been jamming up when I tried inserting the stylus in and out. Almost as if the stylus got thicker during the day, a very tight fit. Read this thread and got a clue that it may have something to do with that switch.
If I insert my stylus in at a angle it glides in and out as it is suppose to. If do it without paying attention like i do 90% of the time I will jam. I have have a look at this switch once I get home.
Thanks
Well, this forum has saved me yet again.
I was actually playing around with Gyrator when my stylus suddenly got really, really hard to move in and out. I had just deleted the stylus events in the app once I figured out what was key-locking my device, when on the next stylus insert it got really stiff. For a moment I thought maybe the app make some magical change to the magnet or something and so I uninstalled, tried it, then reinstalled gyrator.
I put an LED flashlight up to the little hole about an inch (5 cm) down the stylus shaft and then used a needle to play around in there. I can't say I have a clear idea where the switch is exactly, but I figured it was toward the body of the device. I finally saw something move and then tried the stylus. It worked a lot better then next two times, then suddenly it's again snapping in and out easily.
Thanks to the OP!

My stylus got super sticky all of a sudden (to the point i was scared i would break it if i pulled any harder to get it out). I couldn't figure it out. Then i read this thread and found out about the stylus switch. My switch was not aligned straight in the silo. All i had to do was find the switch and bend it back into place with a toothpick. I had some success bending it back with the stylus itself, but it is far enough back in the silo that it's hard to get good contact with the stylus point. And it quickly got stuck after a few inserts/removals. But after i bent it into place with the toothpick, it has been fine for the last few hours.
I've attached 2 photos of the stylus silo (the picture titled switch2 is better), in which you can just barely make out the switch. The pictures are taken with the Touch Pro face down. The switch in the pictures is in the correct position. It should jut straight out into the silo. If it is coming in at an angle, it may be making your stylus stick. Or it may not be registering (and thereby not waking up your Raphael) when you remove your stylus. You need to shine a light down the silo, or you'll never see it. It was extremely hard to get the photos because the natural light wouldn't illuminate down the silo, and the flash had to be aligned just right so that it would bounce back to the lens of my camera. But it's the best i could do.
Stylus prob
I am having the same problem, and have been unable to resolve it yet, if anyone can document exactly what they did to fix it I would be grateful.
Twiddling about with a needle is kind of hard to visualise.
Thanks

Thanks for the tips and the pics pokeycd.. i was scared that i had damaged my magnetic sensor but ur pics and info were just great and my stylus locks in and comes out perfectly now. thanks a lot.
I had the problem too. I got that cellphone and thought that it was suposed to be that hard to insert that stylus. Then i read this thread and watched a little closer and i found that switch beeing stuck. I first repositioned it with a toothpick. Then it worked again, but i need to be careful inserting that stylus (inserting it with an angle) else it will get stuck again. But later on i realized that i can easily reposition that switch with that stylus just by inserting it at an angle. (Angle). I hope u can figure out how you can fix that.
A picture of the switch (it's not that sharp but it will let u guess where you have to look for):
Switch for the Stylus
I hope it will help.
I have same problem too. I buy today Touch Pro. I think that magnet sensor is not OK.
Thanks to all for solved this problem
I think this problem is for all Raphaels..
There is no magnet sensor as far as i think. The magnet is just for keeping the stylus in the phone. There is a 'machanical' sensor (as you can see on the photos above). That sensor is either sticking in the case or is beeing stuck by inserting the stylus without caution.
I have this problem too I think...My stylus now slides in and out of the device without a problem, but if I look in Gyrator it always thinks my stylus is in. Despite all of the pics and advice above, I can't seem to locate / unstick / bend the sensor back to its correct position.
My switch came out
I was having this problem with the super-tight stylus on my Fuze, and after taking it in and out a few times (which I wish I hadn't done), I did this-
Take out the battery and shine an LED pocket flashlight into the opening of the silo where the batter sits, shining it back towards the opening.
I saw the tiny black lever that senses when the stylus is in or out. With my Fuze positioned with the silo on top, screen on left, battery area on right, this little lever was on the bottom right.
I took a toothpick and could position it so it stuck straight up into the center. I tried to move it around a few times, but then it came off and fell out! (came off or broke off)
Here are some pictures of the little piece and the stylus opening after it came out.
It doesn't look like the plastic is broken... anyone know if it can be fixed?
I have a design flaw on mine
I think I have a design flaw: instead of the switch and the casing for it, mine shows a cavity with what I thought was a metal sensor. I think the whole swith thing is missing on mine. Always has been.
So, few days ago my Touch pro(GSM) started with this weird issue. It looks like a circular spot <1cm diameter. It looks like pressure is applied to the display from back of the display. I tried to take photo when I disassembled phone and tried to resolve this, but display is glossy and camera cannot properly focus :-( spot i located in place where there are hatch(door) mechanism on back. When I dissasembled phone there was nothing causing pressure. I found out that if I press corners on diagonal axis spot disappears. I think that back of the display is arched in some way and pressure on chasis of phone press arched back againts lcd crystals. It happened when I was wearing my TP in jeans pocket. So first thought was that some stich in pocket, or something was presing againts display, but I am almost sure that this is caused by pressure on body of phone. Its night here so I will see tommorow If dissasembling, tinkering with screwdriver helped, but I dont believe this much. Question is: Did someone experienced this kind of issue? How do you resolved it? Will buying new display from ebay help?(I think yes, but there is possibility that display is ok and body is deformed in some way)
Thanks for your time.
Does it look as an oil spot?
Try to raise the membrane with vacuum or sticker and you'll see,if it disappears for a moment.
If so,I am affraid,you have to replace display/digitizer.
I got this oilspot on one of my Himalayas.
Also touch isn't working on this place,anywhere else is working,but after raising the membrane.
Well, I am 100% sure that digitizer is ok, because spot was on display. Touch functionality was ok but display was having strange colors and after disappearing light yellow tint in place of spot. As I took apart my Touch pro, I was ok with buying new display so I looked how old si attached to the case and bended it a little. Spot disappeared and display is still ok and I consider it repaired. Maybe it was really only the bended back or it was one of those self repairing defects.
Hello,
I recently replaced the front frame of my Lumia 820 due to dropping it. While the touch screen now works, I'm having issues with the proximity sensor in regards to calls, where it turns the screen black and doesn't come back on when taking my face away from the screen.
I took it all apart again, used compressed air to blow any dust away and made sure nothing was blocking the sensor.
Is there
a. any way to disable the proximity sensor?
b. does it anything to do with the Amber update? (works fine prior to this)
c. is there a way to go back to an older version of the firmware?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have same problem. Anyone find solution to that? Probably proximity sensor need to be calibrated, but I didnt find any site with software and information how to do it.
Brg,
Pawel
I have the same issue
I'm having the same problem. I replaced the touch screen and the frame.
Alon.
Same issue
I am experiencing the same fault as what you guys are describing. I've even ordered from other sources to see if it was a faulty batch of screens, but still blank in call. Is there something in the fitting process that is going wrong? Any update or Fix would be great!

My friend had the exact same issue after replacing the screen. He finally took it to his local Nokia Care centre, they noticed straight away that the replacement screen wasn't a genuine Nokia part, fitted a Nokia one & he's never had a problem since.
simply make a call and try pressing the left side of the earpiece

Hi. I have been tightening keepeng pressing on top left... Simply took it off digitizer have cleaned to clear proximity glass on digitizer. Cutted very small peace of business card and glued it in between sensors gap on actual sensor and assembled back. Works fine

Hey man, I'm having problems with the same issue but can't seem to work out what you mean with gluing the business card in between the sensor gap? Also in my case I have to push quite hard on both sides before the proximity sensor works, even after tightening it all the way.
Hey. Disassemble your phone. On digitiser a designated hole for proximity sensor. I have cleaned that tint place and made it clear. Now look on proximity sensor. Its rectangular shape and has 2 lenses on it. In between , a very tiny space. In my case i took business card, as it thick, then i have cut very small piece of business card and glued it in that place. Give me you email, so i send you a picture

most of china digitizers work ok but many of them have got extra not cutted plastic in upper left corner (see picture)
this extra plastic makes bigger space between digitizer and frame that's why proximity sensor "think" it's covered.
There is no hope to make it work without cutting such plastic. Unfortunately this cut must be exactly "in line" with line from digitizer operation lines so it's almost impossible to make. China manufacture must make new type of digitizer with thinner digitizer lines and always cut such extra plastic. Then digitizer will be exactly flat on frame and proximity sensor will be close to his hole in digitizer and will work 100%.
Proximity sensor solution: request for clarification...

Hi,
How did you remove the color coating to the lens? And do you think that made a difference? Or was it the extra pressure the tiny strip of card put on the sensor?
Thanks,

Hey guys, I'm having same problem ... can you send the picture how to solve this issue ... [email protected]

In the last two months or so I cracked my screen with the shatter/cracking starting in the upper right-hand corner of the phone. I still have not found a suitable solution for fixing the screen, I was hoping to get a solution to an issue this seems to have created where the display will not turn on.
Simply put, the screen no longer turns on unless initiated by the software with activities like "Hey Google", receiving a text/call, or plugging/unplugging the phone. The majority of the time I cannot get the phone to turn on with normal methods such as media gestures (double tap), any buttons (volume/power), fingerprint sensor are all unable to turn on the screen. Strangely, many times I will receive haptic feedback that senses the physical method I am using but the screen still fails to turn on. Squeezing the phone also doesn't work but is not desired any more as a concern for making the cracking worse.
It's a US phone, rooted, 1.30.617.2 with Magisk and Xposed. I have tried a variety of possible methods with no success including gravitybox hardware tweaks, Cleanslate kernel options, and a variety of stock options that were all unsuccessful.
My best guess is that the cracking on the screen starts in the upper right-hand corner where the proximity sensor is. It is completely shattered there and I have a clear screen protector as well. Is it possible that the proximity sensor is causing this? If so, any suggestions to disable it somehow. If not, do you think it is a damaged product or something else?
With the difficulty of getting and swapping the cracked screen, I am hoping someone can help. THANK YOU!!!
I recently just swapped the screen on mine and it was a bit of a challenge but not too difficult that I wouldn't do it again, for someone else. LOL. Anyway it might be possible to disconnect the prox sensor simply by removing the back cover and a few screws at the top of the device. Not 100 percent sure it will still work or what reaction you might get by disconnecting it, but if you're not going to replace the screen it could be worth a try. I found a couple of sellers on Ebay shortly after Christmas and considering what the phone cost, to me it was worth it to replace the screen but maybe not twice, thus my little joke earlier. There are tare down videos on YouTube if you need that kind of help.
Just checking in to see how things were going and if you tried anything? When my screen cracked I put a tempered glass screen protector on it to prevent any further damage and to prevent finger damage from the small shards that develop in the cracks. I had another phone I used tape on to pull the shards out and it ended up ruining the digitizer so this time I just covered everything up and moved on best I could. Looks like the seller I got my replacement still has some if you're thinking about replacing yours. It says New Condition but mine had definitely come from some device but whom ever removed it did an excellent job because it arrived very clean and ready to install. Getting the old screen off was the hardest part, well and finding the right adhesive to glue it back on. I wasn't able to find the G7000 glue but used F6000 which I found easily. I haven't had any issues with it since. If you want to know more about how I did it check out my thread in this forum. Here's the link to the seller.
