I am very annoyed and hoping someone here can help . My infuse 4g every time i take a call and the phone dims while on call It will not come un-dimmed. i press power and nothing call is still active but i can't do anything even after they hang up sometimes. so i updated my infused v1 to v2 and still same thing ?? any help or any suggestions is appreciated ! thanks in advanced !
Are you running overclock or undervolt? Did you theme anything? How did you restore apps?
infused infuse helping other infused infuses?
i didn't do a restore of apps ? I just signed in to my google account . had to reinstall them . and i am not overclocking . like i said it did the same thing on v1 ???
Themes?

Are you you using any themes? If not does it do that on stock.
i am not using any themes . i put infused on as soon as i got the phone so im not sure if it did it on stock but it just started doing it . wasn't doing it for months now all of a sudden ???
If it does it on stock maybe get a new phone could be a sensor issue! Are you doing a full wipe when you flas Roms?
stupid question
are you doing this with the phone next to your face?
maybe you have a finger near the top of the screen?
the phone has a proxemity sensor and will nit power on the screen with objects in the vacinity. it is near the att logo at the top of the screen. this is to prevent your cheek from randomly interacting with the phone.
Personally I had go launcher running and it made my calls not go through. I did the gtg back to stock then flashed again and all was fine.

yeah idk , i do a full wipe and regardless if i hit the sensor it doesn't come back on . i have to force shut down to get it to work again . it just stays on but not lit up for me to do anything. thanks

Did it start after you moved to Infused v2? Or was it an existing problem before then?
There's some undocumented setting in the prox sensor driver that is different between the Rogers kernels for Gingerbread and Froyo kernels. (Undocument as in I see that it's different but have no clue what it does.) If you find a definitive difference between v1 and v2 in terms of prox sensor performance, I can whip up a test kernel for you.
it did it with v1 and as soon as i put on v2 i attemoted a call and it did it right away again . so idk
So I believe I figured it out . in display settings i UN-checked power save mode . and that stopped it ! So i checked it again to test and it did it again , so I believe I found the problem ! Nice ! Thanks for everyone's help ! I hope by me figuring out the wrong setting that was checked can later help someone else ! You all Rock !
One last thing . I have to use adw launcher or it still does it even with power save uncheck on stock launcher . Hmmm dunno why but adw launcher with power save unchecked works
Update issued solved
ok so i thought what i did fixxed the problem BUT it did not ! So i found a app in market called ( Call light ) that turns off the auto dim on calls . This app was created for people having the issue . i went into the apps settings and checked do not dim on call . and now it is fixxed ! I can now manually dim with button and it comes back on . hope that helps someone !

I wish I could figure out the root cause for why the prox sensor fails for some people...

Just wondering, but do you have a screen protector on your phone? One that covers the brightness sensors on the top?
On my old iPhone 3GS I had the same problem, I found out it was because my screen protector was interfering with the brightness sensor on the top causing it to think that the phone was still next to my ear.
Not sure if that is your problem, but its worth a shot.
Phone lockup during call
I had this same problem.....started as soon as I left the store.
After researching this across LOTS of these posts, I found a common theme in the prox sensor.
My Ballistic case was the cause of the problem, I carefully cut the plastic shield (clear) that was over the prox sensor and now everything is working GREAT!!!!
I would look at your screen protectors and perform a little surgery....
fixxed
Yes , it was in fact my screen protector . i ordered a new one and it never did it again . thanks for your reply

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...

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...

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...

Wow so even after flashing back to stock you're still getting black screen? I've seen the black screen a few times with miui but not everytime. I was hoping it would be fixed with the final v5.
thats weird. the first time a flashed Miui I had that same problem. I just reflashed the same rom and the problem went away. I have never carried the black screen through multiple roms.
Even I flash back to the stock rom by RSD the black screen can't fixed. I already replaced the camera module but not fixed.
Do you use autokiller memory optimizer? I got black screens when I set it above strict. If you do maybe youd want to lower those settings.
I didn't install the auto killer, But even i flash back to 2.1 stock rom without any tweak apps,it still can't fixed the black screen
Hmm, same issue in several ROMs, sounds like an hardware error.
I have found the following in Loyat Forum:
(http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1667176)
Help! My camera shutter suddenly closed up and can't open anymore. Is this normal or my phone is screwed?
This is a known issue for xt720. Not all of them though but quite a number have experienced it already where the shutter just completely shut. There's nothing much can be done other than sending it back for warranty... OR you can try this trick. Get a magnet and put its South field close to the shutter. Apparently it will open up. Not sure how true is this but yea.... better than dismantle the whole phone just to find out you really screw the phone up for good...
Maybe this could help...

Hi,
I have this wierd problem with my sensation. I found out that if i have my camera on and it falls a sleep it wont unlock any more. no ring nothing.buttons glow but a solid black screen. The only way out is a battery pull.
It's with photo camera and video camera mode. no other apps suffer fom this.
I've tried other roms but nothing. I currently run ARHD 3.6.7
I found out on accident but it is realy annoying me now
Any of u with the same problem or ideas?
known issue with kernel. not sure which kernels. try keepscreen app to keep screen awake if using camera so it doesnt freeze
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tni.KeepScreenLite&hl=en
Yeah, it's bricked kernel. Doesn't matter what version you use, it seems to keep on happening randomly.

Hi,
Go into Bricked Kernel post, there is a .zip file called, CAM-FIX.zip
Flash that, magic will happen =]
Thanks guys, I've all ready flashed an other kernel and it works all fine now.
CAM-FIX.zip on the other hand is only for sense 3.5 and I really prefer sense 3.0
The camfix patch is so the camera can even function in the first place, it does not fix this issue. Without the camfix, if you try to use the camera the screen just goes black and the phone freezes. This issue however is an intermittent one, where sometimes when you exit the camera you get the black screen and freeze. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely the kernel at fault.
To the OP, if in your case it's only happening once the screen times out, you could always use tasker to make it not timeout when using that app?

Hi,
I just saw today, that there was a very weak red light just next to the proximity and light sensor. It looked like it was flickering at a very high rate!
I tried to restart the phone normally, but the light didn't disappear. After that I tried a reset by holding the power button down for 10 seconds. That made it vanish.
What the f**k was that all about???
Best regards
Casper
If you were making a phone call, the red flashing light is normal It's the proximity sensor. If you were doing nothing, it should not be seen the red light, might be faulty.

That red light is in fact the actual proximity sensor and it's in use while in a call. If you where not in a call then that was a strange occurance unless you ran some of these sensor testing apps...
Well, I wasn't in a call. I had been calling someone through the hands-free in my car on my way to work, where I discovered it about 10-15 minutes after the call was finished...

any tips on how to trouble shoot this? I wish I could figure out which app (if any) is causing the proximity sensor to stay lit.
I've heard it's related to an autobrightness tweak, but it appears even when tweak is not applied, across multiple roms. The only commonality between my roms is the apps I have installed.
I've tried multiple proximity sensor testing apps and, it's working.. it's just always lit up.

Same here. Have to restart to get it off again. Any help? (TrickDroid 4.3)
Anytime you make a call by any means other than handset to your ear, the proximity sensor will come on and stay lit until reboot or until you make another call via handset.
Example:
Place call> turn on speaker phone> hang up - proximity sensor will stay lit after call;
To fix do this:
Place call from handset (not using speaker phone or hands free) and hang up right away, or reboot device and light will go out.
Same seems to go for calls through hands free as well.
These guys are lying its a bomb isn't it obvious flashing red light HTC controls it if u do something they don't want u to do boom ur hands are no more why do u think the phone heats up so much its a warning don't believe me read the thread in forums about heats in the one s another reason they don't want us to remove back well see the bomb :what:

Hi All,
My One S also does this. I'm finding it a pain to have to make a call after using speakerphone to turn the proximity sensor off again. Has anyone found out what the cause of this is?
I've tried clearing cache partition with HTC support but still no fix.
Hi all, I forgot to mention that the issue on my phone only happens when the call is ended with speakerphone active. If I turn off the speakerphone before ending the call it does not happen.
Hey brothers.. I had the same problem with the proximity sensor not turning off.. Even after so many restarts resets... Finally I just opened the original task manager of the one x, and push "stop all" .. and YES!! the sensor was turned of and stopped lighting.. After that I tried calls with speaker phone or not.. No problem.. Now it is working how it has to...

You maybe have turned off Viber doing this: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=80972874

Sometimes a restart fixes the problem.

I recently installed the JellyBelly ROM v.3 (CM10) on my EVO Shift. I really appreciate the work that the devs are doing on this ROM. I am posting some bugs I encountered after running the ROM for a day. I hope this info helps make the ROM more stable and polished for the entire community. This is my way of giving back right now. Thanks for all the hard work guys!
Green Box During Boot Screen Bug - During boot the HTC screen with white background is displayed for a few seconds, then the boot animation appears. During the transition between the HTC screen and boot animation you can see the HTC screen turns into a green box and fills the upper 30% of the display for a second or two prior to the boot animation starting. This is not a critical bug, yet it may point to a larger underlying video issue in the system. If nothing else, it could give a poor first impression about the ROM quality due to graphic glitches.
Random Screen Freeze/SOD Bug - For no apparent reason the device would lock up and refuse to respond to touch input or pressing the power button. I was forced to remove the battery several times in order to reboot the device. I was unable to establish exactly what caused the lock up, but I was curious if the CPU settings and clock settings might be to blame?
Camera Green Line Bug - After I took a couple pictures I reviewed them in the Gallery app. I immediately noticed that my pictures all had a green line down the left side. I thought that perhaps the stock Camera app was to blame so I installed CameraZoom, a third party camera app as a replacement to the stock Camera app. The result was that the entire upper half of the images taken with CameraZoom app were solid green. I'm not sure if the driver or the app is to blame for this experience.
Facebook App Crash Bug - The Facebook app refused to launch without crashing for me.
I want to run this ROM as my primary ROM, but these issues, except for the Boot Screen Bug, are show stoppers for me. Keep up the great work. I look forward to version 4!
The boot animation thing happens even when there is no boot animation... All the others I have fixed except Facebook, working on that at the moment. Once that is fixed v4 will be up... Facebook seems to be taking up way more RAM than it should The camera line is caused by the 4.2 camera, I took it out and replaced it with 4.1 camera. BTW I got your message, but was unable to respond to it.
Been running this since V2 came out and have seen your issues as well. When the screen locks up I just wait for a minute or so and the current app stops and doesn't require battery pull. Can't wait for those fixes.

The main issue with JB on the Shift IMO is RAM dispersion, which is mainly what I am working on.
Great info! Also meant to ask, why are there two flashlight applications installed? Why is Flipboard installed by default? Seems like Flipboard is kind of an odd default app.
Because it is a work in progress (I was testing them and forgot to remove one), and flipboard works better than Facebook

Got Facebook fixed, but I don't like how much performance I am having to give up to keep it from crashing... I'm hoping there is a perfect median, I just haven't found it yet. I have noticed quite a bit of difference between launchers also. This is my first dive into JB, so it's been a learning process. Got one more thing to try tonight.
I have had issues with the keyboard. on V3 Im not sure how it will work out with the V4. In most cases i would have to hold the . Shift button instead of just tapping it one to cap a letter. and then it resumes to lower case letters. ive also had to Hold FN to Create symbols instead of tapping just once. to make that symbol. over all it is a great rom i do have by far great expectations of it . i will re-flash once. some of those kinks are out such as the green line on the photos. as far as 4g goes i can careless about it considering the fact that i have no 4g in my local area .
As far as FB Goes i never use it ( Its a relationship killer ) xD
None the less keep up the great work on Deving the Rom .
I look forward to future updates. and maybe a keyboard fix. where it was like originally having it .
( Also random Closing of the browser . Ive had a few on V3 . But as i said im not sure what V4 will have in store for me. )
v4 is up and most of said bugs have been eliminated:sly:
You can post any v4 issues here if you change the title of the thread.
