Hi,
I've tried out some custom roms over the last few weeks and i noticed some days ago that my screen won't turn off when answering a call and holding it at my ear.
First i thought it was a miui bug, but same thing on different sense roms...
Then i noticed that automatic brightness is not working as well...
Sounds like a hardware bug, but my device didn't fall down or anything like that.
Could there be a solution to fix this?
Thanks!

Do you have a screen protector on? if yes, then it could be covering the sensor (which is on the left hand side of phone in line with the LED), I suggest that you cut a small hole in it, this helps....as I've read before.
thanks, but i don't have a screen protector...
could it be related with the new radio i flashed? (20.44.30.0821U_3821.08.00.24_M)
i don't know exactly, but the problem problably occured since i flashed radio.
tried different kernels and roms, so radio is the only solution left?
reflash? downgrade?
Got simmilar issue. Was trying different things to solve it. At end just sent in to HTC. Sensor was buggy and got replaced.
Just take it to HTC.
i sent it to htc yesterday, thanks.
hope they don't mind that i rooted and stuff, i flashed stock and put my device s-on again, so maybe they won't find out

I am sorry to say, but I am not happy with my new phone !
Some serious problems with it.
1. sometimes when I push the powerbutton nothing hapens, and actualy I can see the phone is fuctioning (round button is flashing for new mail). After a few seconds I get the "famous" grey screen. Reboot is the only option.
2. sometimes I wake up and the phone has boot (I guess) somewhere in the night, because I have to give my accescode for the sim.
3. the "broken glass" isue is a problem and happens twice now
Think these are not small problems for a "Pro" phone.
Right now I don't have a riable and solid phone, and I think a pro phone should be that way .
Hope this things are fixed soon.
I wonder if this is a difference in roms or if you should return your touch pro. I've beating the hell out of my phone software wise to see how it will run and i haven't had a single problem yet. I haven't been charging it via the wall charger so maybe that has something to do with it but i doubt it.
Send it back! At least try that once, if you get the same problem again then either you are very unlucky, or there is a problem with all batches. I haven't had either of those problems once and got the phone the day it came out.
I only see one or two people complaining about these issues.

I am thinking about it, to send it back. But I still hope it is a rom problem, like Bxsteeze said. Flashing another rom could help. Soon that is possible I will try.
If it doesn't help I send it back.(forgive my my English )
TBH i would do it the other way around. If flashing the ROM doesn't help because of a hardware fault and you have flashed another ROM, chances are you may not get the replacement you want.
especially as Olinex haven't finished the SPL Downgrader yet.....
DONT send it back ffs!!
We have just got HardSPL for the thing so you can actually try any ROM you wish, surely its worth the little hassle trying that first?!
I had the same "broken glass" like screen issue only once also when sitting overnight, but it wasn´t charging at all.
I have several other issue´s but it think it´s ROM related, and if it´s not i´m gonna send mine back aswel.
I've had issues 2 and 3 happen to me.
A couple of times now when trying to wake the device from an overnight charge in the morning I get no response, device locked. Soft reset and all is well.
Regarding the broken glass thing, that's definitely a software issue. Its TF3D having a spaz. If you disable it and then re-enable it, all is well.

Problems
Hi,
Four problems i found so far.
First the broken glass effect. When the phone is ringing and i turn it on his screen the ringing stops and the 3dflo breaks. Or the screen turns grey.
Problem 2 After it restarts i get an device.exe issue.
Problem 3 volume of normal calling is very low. In a noisy room it is hard to understand the caller.
Problem 4 During a call several hick-ups. Also when the signal strength is max.
For know. It is a nice smartphone but some things need improvement.
Can I remind people there is an issues thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418150
I know a couple of pages got a bit OT about touch sensitive buttons etc but its back on track now. Log your issues in there guys so we can try and help each other better.

And dont forget to add the info to the wiki.
My Touch Pro has had the 'wake up' problem (either refuses to without soft reset or shows me frizzed up screen), has frozen on me during basic setup (following a hard reset) and has given me several spontaneous resets.
It also keeps forgetting my wi-fi network exists.
I feel safe in saying that I have a faulty one, so I'm asking for a replacement.
on the bottom of the screen right where the slider is in manilla it appears the backlight has begun to flicker but this only started recently and doesnt happen very often
should i be worried?

Haven't heard of a software issue that would cause this.
Sounds like a hardware failure.
I'm having the same exact issue! it doesnt happen often and its very slight but the left and ride sides of the manila icons will flicker..what rom are you running and any mods to it? i'm using the nrgz warhawk..the newest one..with tf3d2.1 and the panaromic background..
also warhawk but also happened on the previous build i cant remember if it ever happened before that though
Just to rule it out, do you ever flash back to stock before you flash a custom ROM?
Sometimes continuous flashes can corrupt your memory but when you flash back to stock its sets it right again.
no sir, but i'm now going to give it a shot..is the stock fuze rom easily available on here that you know of? (i'm about to start searching but jw)
Mine does the same thing, only across the bottom, some days it is worse other days it is just slightly. Did it on the original rom and on the updated one from HTC. I am not too worried about it now.
Hi all, I have a weird problem with the proximity sensor in my HTC Titan. I got a new Titan about a week ago, to which I immediately installed HSPL and Dynamics rom. After I did all the tweaks and installs I like, I noticed that every time I dial a phone call the screen goes off and stays that way until the number I called answers. If the number does not pick up, only thing I can do is remove the battery basically to hang the call up. I noticed that removing the back cover slightly affects the issue and its easier to get the screen back on (by pressing the power button), but still removing it does not solve the problem. With a handsfree I can actually stop the call as it has an accessible end call button.
I tried flashing another custom rom and also a stock rom, both had the same issue. So, I took the device for warranty repair. I got it back today from HTC, with a note saying that software has been updated and problem has been fixed. I tried the device and surely it was working. Well I can’t live without an fully unlocked device and against my better judgment flashed a custom rom again… And surprise surprice the problem appeared back.
Im thinking here that could I adjust the proximity sensor from the registry, if its somehow too sensitive or something. Strange part naturally is that other people with same rom are not experiencing this behavior, so it is device specific problem. Also I don’t think I can take the device back again and say yeah I was flashing some custom roms on it and lost whatever you did with it.
There a Proximity folder at HKLM and I tried changing some values there but no affect at all. It probably would be better to have someone who understands about the values little try to take a look.
Thanks a lot!
It's a hardware problem. I got the same issue after 2 months of use. I sent to repair but they wanted to charge me to do that, so I haven't fixed it but I still can get the screen back by pressing and rubbing my finger on top of the sensor.
But when I got it back from repair today it was working. I made few phone calls and it was working totally like normal.
you are not alone

I can tell you that you are not the only one with this problem, it happened the same to me. I'm still unsure if the problem is hardware or software, but I think it's software because it happened just after I install Dynamics_2.0_Titan. I really wish that someone will bring a good solution for it.
hey everyone got a quick question. so last night was messing around on my phone and all of a sudden it just started freaking out. opening and closing apps, mimicking long presses on the screen and all kinds of crazy stuff. the phone is rooted with jellybam and also has a replacement screen in it thats been on there for about 3 months now. im wondering if this sounds like a problem with the digitizer (new one is on the way just in case) or if it could be something in the software? any help appreciated. thanks
"All kinds of crazy stuff"!? Could you be more specific? I don't know if jellybam runs off cm source... Cm has had an issue with short press behaving or acting as long press. This issue was logged and fixed recently. Reboot fixes the issue. Also perhaps try reflashing jelllybam in recovery. If issue persist, probability of hardware issue is more so.
Sent from my HOX w/CM10.1 4.2.2 s-off
i've had that happen using 3rd party charger or if my phone really needed a reboot. i would think screen could definately be the issue also. did you match the exact same hardware with the replacement?
I have a Moto G and it seems like the screen response sometimes just stops working. When it is working all is well. I have tried few of the touch applications and they are all good. If i put it into sleep and press the power button, i can unlock the phone but no response at the home screen. Sometimes it works great for hours and then would stop. Don't think its a screen issue.
It's out of warranty so sending it back is out of question. I don't think it ever got wet or water damaged. Don't know much of the history on this. Would appreciate the help.
EDIT:
1) I reflashed the stock Telus Rom again last night, but issue hasn't changed much.
2) I disabled the lockscreen (set to none) and seems like it only registers one touch then stops as was the case with the lockscreen. Sometimes it just keeps working fine.
Just trying to figure out if its a software issue or a touchscreen issue. The hard buttons all work fine.
Stock? Which version?
Third party ROM or Kernel?
Does it happen randomly or only while connected to the charger or USB?

Kitkat 4.4.4 Stock Telus/Kodoo Rom.
Happens Randomly.
EDIT: Added some notes above.
If it keeps doing it after a full clean flash then I would bet it's an hardware problem...

Hardware wise is it the lcd/digitizer or motherboard ? Trying to figure that out.
Sorry, can't give any insight on that. I don't even know if there is an easy way to be able to know what of those two is faulty.
Just out of curiosity. Are you in a very moist/damp/humid (not sure what's the right word for this) area?
Do you have sweaty fingers?
I'm asking this because I also feel kind of an unresponsiveness whenever the screen has any moist on it or if my fingers are sweaty.
