Have the Thunderbolt set up for making sound when touching screen. The screen will work as it should and then without reason it will get very soft and sometimes completely stop making any sound. Checked all my settings and they are as they should be. I also have the Sensation and the screen is set up the same way and it works properly. Is there something I'm overlooking or is this another bug?? Any help would be welcomed. Running stock Thunderbolt.
Thanks,
restart phone and go from there

It's a bug of some kind. I've had it since the day I bought my TBolt(Launch Day). I think the reason its not heard about much is because most users don't use the screen sound option and also because a lot of users here and at AC root and flash custom roms.
I'm still running launch day software because it just works for me for the way i use my device.... this being the only bug that affects me. I rooted and flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013577
and the issue went away so if it really bothers you I would go that direction. I assume other custom roms fix it as well but I cannot comment as the above is the only rom I flashed before going back stock and un-rooting.
Thanks for your input, checked other sites and found other people with same issue. Going to root this thing anyways and I'm sure the new Rom will fix the issue. Might check out the one you downloaded, looks pretty fast.
Thanks again.
Let me explain my issue.
My proximity sensor stopped working (it would work occasionly) when running HyperNonSense ICS. I tried installing the DHD proximity sensor app, but that doesn't support the kernel. I have recently flashed virtious inqusition, and the sensor now will not work at all. I have tried the DHD app again, with the same issue, and I have tried pointing a camera at it whist calling voicemail, however there was no responce. I have also tried a proximity sensor app (http://goo.gl/TlTa8 and http://goo.gl/9gf4V) however both show no reading.
I guess I am going to have to send it in (I don't want to be without it!!!) Unless anyone has any suggestions.
EDIT: Sorry mod - didn't realise I was posting in general!

Proximity / light sensor also recently stopped working and the and I'm currently stock with s-on. I am probably just gonna send it in for repair.

I believe this is a hardware issue as it is probably with mine.

According to the user manual, the proximity sensor is in the top left corner, under the glass of the screen, do you have a full size screen protector on, it could be blocking it.

I always thought that the proximity sensor and the light sensor were in the same area, but regardless both of mine seems to be messed up. The led lights at the bottom of my phone don't even come on anymore. :-\

Same problem here.Any solutions so far?
If sending it back for a repair will fix it,that means there is actually a way to fix it,so why no one knows how to do it?
It`s a HTC secret or something?!
Mine just died today fully. Phone would turn on over the last couple of days then when it goes into stand by the screen would freeze. A pull of the battery and reboot would not get it to come back on. I then treid a couple of adb reboot commands and it got it back again.
Then today it just died. Not getting battery light or anything. All it will do is power on and vibrate then nothing. As I am custom rom I cant send it back or they will charge a fortune, so just bit the bullet and ordered a new one arriving on Saturday
Let me just clarify - I have no screen protector on - Just this case http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005B3OEV2/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details - I have sent the phone in to carphone and will report when I get it back

When you plug it in to your PC, is it coming up with QLOAD USB or something like that?
Also, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198585 (AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!)

@brilldoctor: I have been struggling with this for WEEKS! It is NOT a hardware problem. It's an upgrade to ICS and get stuck with this **** problem! I tried other threads and nothing successful. My capacitive backlights for the touchpad under the LCD's dont work either WITHIN a ROM. In recovery they work fine. Another run-around was to Fix Permissions in Recovery also and then boot into the ROM and sometimes they all worked, sometimes they didn't. Another one was to SuperWipe and start from scratch down to the Radio flashing level.....same ****, lights, sensors don't work.
I'm still going crazy trying to figure it out as it is NOT a hardware problem!!!!!!
Hi guys! I'm having the same problem here, my proximity sensor is not working at all, I'm on Virtuous inquisition 4.0.2 and tried different kernels but nothing! I just wanna know if it is a hardware problem or something else??
Do you guys found a solution or an explanation to the problem? Or still using your sensation without the proximity sensor?

Same thing with prox sensor here
Weird thing is that, when I take the flashlight and point it to the prox sensor (with light) andro sensor Anrdoid Sensor Box reports that proximity sensor is working (0.0 cm -> 3,5 cm).
That would definitely mean that it's a software, not a hardware problem.
Maybe some kind of calibration for proximity sensor would fix it, but I can't find one (there are for rezound and zte, but no for sensation (pyramid)).
How can I just disable it?

Its the update that brought these problems. I've helped many with this same problem.
When you boot your phone, cover the sensor with your thumb. That is all.

got same problem with elegancia .... no proximity and light sensor... sad , i tryed to serch every post in google... without luck.
Some1 got some ideas , exept send to warranty. So long i cant go without phone.
and wagedroid cover dont help :S huh , so unhappy :S
I have the same problem as all of you guys. I tried everything I found as a possible solution on the web, but none of them worked for me. The funny thing is, that they work sometimes, and sometimes don't work. But what I found out, is that they are not working when the battery charge is 30%-100%, and when gets less than 30%, they start working perfectly. I tested it for about a week, and it was the same everytime the charge was getting less that 30%. So may be some of the developers might know where this problem could be coming from, since on a low charge the sensors work just fine.
If it matters, I am using my stock battery, but it is the same with my other battery.
My current ROM is ViperS 1.6.3, Sense 4.1 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547&highlight=vipers
I bought a used Galaxy S2 that came with CM9 installed on it. The rom was pretty buggy so I reverted to gingerbread yesterday but I have an screen orientation issue.
When I hold my phone sideways it think's I'm in portrait mode. When I hold it normally it thinks I'm in landscape mode. I can turn screen rotate off but it is still annoying when I actually need the screen rotate feature for videos and such.
I live in Canada and my phone doesn't say it's the the AT&T version on the outside anywhere (it's not branded at all) but the software settings in about phone say i727 which is the AT&T model. Could that be wrong, is it possible I'm using the wrong software?
Horizontal calibration and Gyroscope calibration don't fix the rotation issue either. It was working fine in CM9 so I think it's safe to say it's a software issue.

Make sure you put a skyrocket kernel on your device. That what the problem is. Pm me if you have more issues
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
sounds like you are running the wrong software
pop the cover off, take the battery out, and see if it says i727 on the sticker. if it does, make sure you are running an i727 rom.
The T989 and the i727 are very similar, but screen orientation is the main thing that sets us apart. We can use their software and they can use ours as long as we port/fix the screen rotation or use the correct kernel.
Yeah it sounds like your using hercules rom on sky rocket or visa versa
CM9 Skyrocket

that link is for the hercules, this is the skyrocket forum, flashing hercules(t989) roms on the skyrocket(i727) or vica versa will mess up screen orientation
Hi guys, can anyone shed me some light here? Auto rotate is checked but yet everytime after I insert a simcard, it doesnt rotate anymore. Without simcard it works fine. I have tried reinstall stock roms its still the same. S-off, unlocked and install a CM9 rom its still the same. Is it some hardware issue? Can anyone point me to the right direction where I should look into? Thanks in advance.
Have you tried to calibrate your screen? Just go to settings and htc calibration.. place your sensation into flat surface and click calibrate.

I cant calibrate. Whenever I did a calibration, it always gives me "Calibration Aborted". When I play Teeter, the ball isnt moving.

Hello again everyone! Has anyone else had an issue during calls with the proximity sensor? When I take the phone away frorm my ear the screen does not away come back on.. I have googled it wihtout much luck. Does anyone know any tips to use to recalibrate it on cm11 with a relay 4g? The only thing I found was this link [I can't post links, but google 'calibrate proximity sensor android legend' should be 1st result] but towards the end the *#0*# dialer code used to test it doesnt work so im not sure if the fix will work or not. Since I expect all of you to be using your Relay 4g's as a phone, you guys must have done something. What do you all suggest? Thank you all for your help!!
