I`ve been looking everywhere to find a solution but didn`t found one. To be more precise, both sensors (proximity and light) work occasionally,sometimes they work just fine and then suddenly stop working.
I`m using Andro Sensor to check the sensors and there is "Waiting for event" message for both light and proximity.
I don`t think it`s a hardware problem as they were working when bought the phone and they still work occasionally.My phone is rooted and i`m on latest ARHD now with Sebastian kernel.Maybe someone knows how to fix this as it`s very annoying (automatic brightness and capacitive backlights not working because of this as well).Any help would be much appreciated.
You mean like this?
Lol same issue here.
I contacted htc and they wanted me to send it in for repair. But they said it may be due to water dammage. (I never gave my phone near water and the sticker under the battery is still white.) The rep told ne if it is due to water damage it may be expensive to fix. What I'm gonna do is just pay the 130$ deductable to my insurance company and get a new one.

do your capacitive buttons light up as well ? or is it just the sensor thats the problem ??.

They light up only if i`m forcing them with LeeDroid Twekas mod or when the sensors work again.But when the light sensor is not working they will light.

...will NOT light.sorry
Yep why i ask is because it happens to me also exact same problem, i had a temp work around with ICS 3.6 roms with putting tinfoil or something under the shell and covering the sensor, this would present a low light signal to the sensor and some how enable the capacitive lights but still ****s the sensor and or proximity.
Sometimes it will work depending on the boot, it will either work on boot or not never changes while the rom is running.
Now i must try the leedroid tweeks as i can stand my capacitives not working but yes must be a widespread problem if people are having the exact same issues.
found it, bummer its for 3.6 only.
I have the exact same problem as you described, but since 6 months. It really sucks to pay 430€ (~650$) for a device which isn't working as it should. I don't want to send my phone to repair and wait for it 3 weeks. So I have to cope with it.
That's a plus for the S3 to be my next phone.

It`s very frustrating as it`s an known HTC issues and no one can do anything about it.To send it back and wait forever it`s ridiculous.
Thats why i refrained from sending it myself, i need a phone cant expect us to wait and wait for a repair. Should be a straight swap for being a known issue.

Sadly this is my thought as well. And I was a huge htc fan. I used to boast how good the phone is / was but now it starting to feel more of a burden.
My issues
1. Proximity / ambient light sensor doesn't work properly anymore.
2. Usb stopped working? Wtf still charges though
3. Design flaws. (Ok this used to be one of the phones biggest assets. But going through 3 back covers because the stupid volume buttons keep breaking is crazy.)
4. The tinny sound when you are recording video.
5. The blutooth stacks don't allow connection with the ps3 or Wii controllers.
Hate to turn this into a rant.... :banghead:

Why I'm going with the insurance way rather than htc. Those MFs told me that I have to pay for both shipping and recieving, plus is if there is any sort of damage outside of what they cover its gonna cost me starting around 85$ or something like that. Than it may take a few days to get it back to me.
While I can just pay like $140 and have a new phone in like 2 days.

what are you claiming it as, accidental damage etc ??. With my insurance company i would have to get proof of the damage via a qualified technician and get a certificate from him.

Same problem here to,
Tried everything,and yes it depends on boot.
Try to do factory reset in TOTAL dark.
It worked till next boot...
I think i maybe got it after Sebastian kernel ?
Still puzzeling....
And same problem here with ARHD 6.5.3 XE...
Maybe later I'll try super wipe and different kernel (I got sebastian's currently).
EDIT:
In AndroSensor I got "waiting for event" instead of "failed to start". Someone knows what it means?

Wuddup Freshly? I haven't seen you since back in the day on the Cyanogenmod MT3G forums.
Anyways, I think the problem he is referring to is when you go to hang up, the screen just stays black (g-sensor not working correctly) instead of the screen lighting up to hit end. I've seen the screen light up but not respond when taking the phone away from your ear also. Let's hope these bugs get taken care of very soon with an OTA, along with many others.
An unlocked BL would be better so I can fix these little problems myself but I'm not holding my breath to receive it soon.

Sorry to say but this problems is not solved. I have just ”test” this crap of software and destroyed the speaker. The owner (Mike Reid) of this sw not even alert me about the known problem with burning the speakers in the past. I did not know them only AFTER it happened to me. May 29 was a black day for me. The main problem was that this guy not even try to compensate me even it was 100% his fault. He did not warn me about the problem. I found later (to late) about this problem it happend to others also. I have ordered the speaker from Ebay (it was 3,5 usd and the transport was free of charge) so he could easily ”clean” his fault.
So guys, take care about the risks with this sw.

Happy for you that you have no damage. Sorry to say but a physically damaged (as was mine) is not repaired by reinstalling the kernel or even the whole rom. Anyway I will try no more on any other phone and advice all my friends for that, because of the risky you can have. More than that, even if there will be no risky in the future for this software, the guy who made it worth no cent because of his behavior. Such persons who don't care about what happened to others (and I repet, it was 100% his fault because he didn't warn me) worth only loathing from me.

Wow, another user with the same issue.
Mine is just a wild guess that kernel 2.6.x may be a cause of the problem. ie after shifting to ICS.
Im waiting for kernel 3.0 before visiting service center. Gonna cost Rs.5K man.
i wasnt on ICS..
had stock rom with cf-root, deodexed, and a few mods!!
check out ebay for the touch panel! its there for about $28, im thinking of getting one down!

Opening the device will void your warranty completely.
There's a high chance that you ruin something else in the process, phone hardware is very delicate, so i suggest letting a professional do it..

WRONG again, it doesn't affect the touch keys hardware wise, it may just affect how it works for that kernel and ROM only, not the hardware, what he changed there is that touch keys only light up according to ambient light, while other kernels don't use that so it just messes that up.
CM9 has nothing to do with ruining your touch keys, it's a hardware issue, stop playing smart with it, only way to fix it is the good ol' service center haha

Hey, i just replaced my touchscreen and digitizer.. and the soft key prob still insists, i studied it and i have came to a conclusion that the KEYPAD FLEX CABLE might be broken. Luckily, the flex cable costs around $20

PS: Sorry for Poor image quality, i don't have a decent secondary phone/camera at the moment.

Key in *#0*# and try the LCD test for colours and sensors buddy. Check if everything is working fine. You can also try the app LCD Test. Seems like the LCD panel might have undergone some pressure. It may be like fallen, or some one pressed their weight over it, or exposed to heat(steam). Check if touch sensors are working in that spot.:fingers-crossed:

Check whether actually it's a LCD issue or it's on the software side.
- Input *#0*# in the keypad & run the different colour tests Red, Blue, Green & Black.
- If the colors seem normal then it could be a software bug but incase you still see those bluish smudges on the screen then it could be a hardware problem.
- Flash the stock ROM, clear the cache, dalvik cache & check if it resolves your problem. (do a hard reset as the last option)
- Even if the above option doesn't help then take it to a service center as it could be a hardware(LCD) problem.
Do update here if it solves the problem. Hope this helps.
Cheers !
Thanks cooleagle and selva.simple.
I tried with the inbuilt colour tests and the LCD App. Every color is rendered perfect except for black. only in black screen i could see the blue smudges. That again with brightness on the higher side it is noticeable, with brightness around 30% it is hardly seen.
I'm away from system, hence shall try flashing stock rom and hard reset at a later point.

Just check wether you have tick/untick Auto adjust screen power option. try doing the opposite thing and then check if every thing is working fine.
This is the issue when running with black screen. All other colors are reproduced fine. Vipul, i tried that makes no difference to the issue.

I was meaning this, the reverse route!
Phone to SSC
UPDATE: Submitted my Phone to SSC, he was trying to convince me that it isn't a big problem. I have conveyed i have no interest in carrying forward a fault in phone to Out of Warranty period and then pay for the same. He told he shall call back to confirm if display needs to be replaced (Also specified a 4 days ETA)
SSC Updates
Hi All,
After one full week, SSC people called me up today, they said they haven't got any confirmation of replacement LCD shipment from Noida. Hence requested an ETA of 2 days. After that, if they don't get an confirmation on spare availability, they'll proceed with a replacement or refund!
Also, on my request, they agreed to let me use the phone till a decision is made or spare becomes available.
Request you guys to assist me on taking further steps if refund option is suggested by them. Thanks in advance.

It's upto you mate. As ICS is finally here for our handset you can weigh your options. If you're willing to spend more money than what you'd payed for SGR then you can ask for a refund but if the budget stays the same i.e around 21k then there's very little competition to SGR even now.
BTW do ask them & tell us here how much they'll give you back incase of a refund so that everyone could have a ball park figure in their mind incase they also are given this option.
Cheers !

I'm not interested in a refund option at all. I'm not interested in buying a handset in lieu of SGR. Can I demand for a replacement or repair and deny a refund request?

Yes. But its applicable only if a spare hardware or spare device is available. Only if both are not available, they can go for refund. Till a single piece of required hardware of another handset is available, you can deny the refund. I believe u r in Chennai buddy. Which area are you and where u have given it for service.
Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea
Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?
