There are proximity programs that turn off your screen...
How about turning it ON -- when NOT in your pocket?
basically can we force the sensor to keep polling for "proximity" and do anything on NOT covered
AND
if so would every 3 seconds be too big of a power drain

I got in the habit with thee above program to just put my phone face down instead of hitting the end call button OR in my pocket w/out pushing any buttons, I would love if the screen just auto-on'd when "OUT"
ALTERNATIVELY
could the screen just turrn on when I touch it ?
again, I get that always polling the screen could be a big drain ....

With thus flow you can silence the phone when you get a call (place your hand over screen for a sec), turn screen on/off and turn on your computer via wol (place your hand for 2 sec over screen). Proximity is turned on by face up orientation and turned off by compass (when you move your device - picking it up). You can rotate it on a table also as long as orientation is face up, proximity will stay on. If you carry your phone around in a case proximity will detect that and turn off so it wont turn on if you put it on a even surface while it is in the case. As soon as you will take it out and put it on a table proximity will come back on again. Calls are also detected so it will turn off to not interfere with the screen on/off functionality during a call.

As the title says the phone's screen won't turn on after I ended a longer call, i have to press the power button to get the screen working.
Did it happen to you also?I have this phone for 2 months but it never happened in the beginning, this seems to be a recent issue.
Is it a hardware issue or a software bug?I've tested the proximity sensor and it works just fine as much i can tell, it switches the screen of and on, it never happened to wake the screen during a call and to activate random keys.
Another strange thing that i noticed during a call:If have the keypad up and i lay the phone horizontally the screen won't turn off if i hover my hand over the proximity sensor but if i put the phone vertically the screen goes off or if i hide the keypad the screen also goes instantly off.
I recently started having an issue that when I make a phone call and then hit my power button to turn the screen off, it keeps popping back on after a few seconds. It will not stay off.
I dont think its a proximity sensor issue because when I hold it to my face or cover it with my finger, the screen will go off.
Its not good because when I make a call and then turn the screen off and put it in my pocket, the screen will come on and buttons get activated. I have noticed that if I dial and THEN hit HOME key and then use power button to deactivate, screen will stay off. But I dont always remember to do it that way and dont understand why suddenly just using the power button no longer works.
Any advice?
Am i the only one whose screen, when it's off, doesn't turn back on properly? It registers both the fingerprint and the power "button" with haptic feedback, and the screen flickers quickly, but doesn't stay on until trying it finally works randomly, or if i use the squeeze gesture to open the camera immediately after pressing the power button. Locked and stocked too.
What is os version are you running?
Does this happen indoors or out?
I used to have an issue where auto brightness would immediately adjust to 0. The screen itself was on but the backlight was essentially turned of.
Only noticed it outside and auto-brightness was on (didn't even think that might be related to the issue! good call. If it happens again, I'll turn that off and see if the issue persists). Running 8.0.0.0 w/ 1.30.617.2 in USA
I have similar experience with my unlocked U12+ and may be Smart screen affected somehow screen back light. I've tried different combinations of settings (automatic Brightness on/off), Smart screen on/off and I noticed lack off problem in dark room. Even though some very strange reactions off haptic buttons (volume down by itself) makes me think about some general functionality problems of this device.
Has anyone noticed whether pressure on a particular point on the display affects the backlight?
When I squeeze moderately strong with two fingers in the area of the padlock (that is seen in a locked screen), it's the same as pressing the power button.
I've been using HTC flags for a long time, but for the first time I've come across such a touch-sensitive device. Every touch wakes him up, even in my pocket, which uses a battery.
I am terrified that there is no separate adjustment of the power and response style of touch-sensitive locations (haptic buttons, squeeze sensor)
Hi there,
Anyone faces a problem, where is it harder to wake up the phone screen via pressing power "button", after a longer rest in screen ( turn off ) mode ?
Encountered this problem, either the power "button" not responsive, or have to press much harder on the power "button" to wake up the screen
How to solve this problem ? Could it be the sensor haven't wake up ?
I noticed this "issue" some time ago, mostly when the phone's faced down, and I'm listening some music, the volume "buttons" don't response to my pressing, so I have to take the phone in hand and regulate the volume. But it's nice to read there are other users who have the same issue

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I noticed it too, specially if the phone is quiet on the table and you try to adjust the volume it's like the sensors are not wake, but if you grab it, it senses it is in hands and works well.
It also happens if you are in a dark room, sometimes the keys just don't respond... I think it happens if you somehow block the proximity sensor when you grab it, maybe it "thinks" it's inside a handbag or so.. but it is annoying because it happens usually when i'm trying to turn on the flash with long squeeze
alright, this is the issue too.
there was once or twice i having issue with this problem, especially when the phone screen off for too long, much harder to wake up/turn on the screen through pressing the "power" button
the sensors has "been sleeping" for many hours though
I get what HTC developers try here. They don't want us to accidentally open the screen when it "thinks" you're not using it. But come on, how can they not have tested it thoroughly in day-to-day usage without noticing this "bug"
It's just sad that this has been an issue for quite a while but they wouldn't even care.
