Proximity and light sensor dont work????? Help please - HTC Sensation

Hey guys my proximity and light sensor no longer work. I'm now on the latest insertcoin Rom and have tried fixing permissions but no matter what ics Rom I try they still don't work.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
It's annoying taking a call and ending up in some random app, or accidentally ending the call

Has anyone else on your ROM had the same issues in the ROM thread?

Try install App that can test your sensor like AndroSensor and Android Sensor Box. Make sure it not function. If function but still not working on the phone call, may be have setting or tweak you make. If not function try reinstall the ROM see however it work if not work maybe the problem with the hardware.

Add that to your build.prop file.
Hi mate where about to i put this line in the build prop do i just add it or replace it with its old one
and is there way to have it so it dont go off at all i hate it
Hi, i had also the issue with proximity sensor, tested by i.e. sensordump app shown no activity at all so I thoght it is broken. I sent it to HTC service centre for repair. They did just recalibration of the sensor and all is working fine now.
Seems there is no any tool nor any hidden service menu on HTC Desire like i.e on ZTE devs that enables you to recalibrate it by yourself :-(

Front camera ics

Is it right for the front camera to not work using an ics rom?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
who said that? its working just fine but there is an issue, videocalls in skype are green regardless of camera chosen
If the quality is bad, check for dust. My front facing camera will degrade 40ish% (literally) after a week cause of dust build up.
Is won't work at all in camera mode, I don't no why it must just be mine. It hasn't worked with various roms. Should I re install the firmware? I don't really use it but its annoying to no it won't work, thanks

I don't have that issue, Skype with video calling works just fine for me. Maybe it is simply an unresolved bug on OP's ROM if he is rooted?

ICS Sense ROMS, specifically. I think AOSP ROMs don't have that problem.
OP, what do you mean by "not work"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
I mean not work as in neither using camera or Skype etc. I have used sense roms and aosp. Currently I'm using dan sharpys stripped rom. But like I say it won't work in any rom. When I select it in camera I don't get any errors etc I just get a black screen, I have made sure its clean. Any help would be great!

Actually now, if I switch to it, it causes my phone to reboot?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
In that case it could be a hardware problem. I've read about a few people having this problem (black front camera screen on a few ROMs and the camera app freezing) but there seems to be no concrete solution for it.
I'm having this problem too. Ever since I upgraded to ICS OTA my front camera has not worked in any application and usually causes the phone to freeze then reboot.
Glad I'm not the only one, just like worldofglass it happened when i upgraded to ics

Hi, i am also having that problem. Yesterday I noticed that my front camera won't work at all. This morning was working just fine, but I was in my car when I tried it, so I just tried it once. Few hours later it won't work again. Once when I tried to turn it on, phone restarted (but just once)... I can se settings, effects and all other buttons on screen, but everything other on screen is black. I have official ICS, and sense 3.6.
Please if anyone solve this problem or find out it's nature (hardware or software) let us others know.
Thnx!
Any answers for this? Habe tried various roms and even re flashing firm ware but still no front camera. My phone just freezes and force closes any app using the camera. Any help appreciated.

So it doesn't look like anyone's found a fix for this?
Like cartermg120, I've tried numerous ROMs (ARHD, LeeDroid, Elegance + CM 9 nightly) and re-flashed the firmware from HERE. Nothing has fixed it.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to flash the latest official RUU (HERE)?
I suppose that would be a good way to check whether it's a H/W or S/W problem and if H/W, the phone could be returned for a warranty repair...
Front facing camera.
Me too, front facing camera has never worked since the ICS OTA update. Any suggestions?

Take off back cover take a cloth and clean where the front camera is? And OP sounds like a hardware issue more then anything else..

Install the latest OPEN GL DRIVER for ADRENO. It solved my green video issue.
Direct Link Here
I have that issue as well. I have been using Virtuous Inquisition rom and when selecting front camera on any app that uses capture, screen goes black. I can continue using the phone except the camera will not work, front or back. I have to reboot in order to be able to use the back camera.

I expect this has been tried, but when I installed cm9 my camera kept playing up, front and back. I wiped data and cache in camera apk, booted to recovery, fixed permissions wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. After a long reboot my camera worked fine. Worth a go if nothing else.

Did the phone fall down recently? I had this issue for some time after my phone fell down. Another fall and it got fixed
Well.... I have been tossing it around recently :3. Im gonna try dropping it on the carpet from 5ft.
Sent from a place like no other.....nowhere!
Don't know if this will help..
But in CM10 I turned off Profiles, and the phone refused to vibrate unless I set it to only vibrate....
So I setup the default profile with overriding notifications to always vibrate, and it solved my problem.

Proximity sensor issues?

OK so I've been using bruce2728s CM X for some time now. I love how smooth it runs, however the proximity sensor is glitchy in the current ( 10/15) build. I know its not hardware related because I restored to an ARHD back up I had and the sensor works like a champ.
Now when I say its glitchy if I make a call and don't get someone to answer I lose any screen functionality. Just black and unresponsive. If they do pick up I only get my screen back once they disconnect from the call.
I have done multiple downloads, multiple installs, and full wipe installs. Nothing I can think of has fixed it. I got no help in the ROM thread so thought I'd try the Q&A section. Just looking to get the sensor working. Please help.

Proximity Sensor and video playback

My proximity and light sensor haven't worked and I don't know if it's hardware or not. I looked around I wiped and flashed stock like one suggested. Nada. Also saw a guy who said that when starting the phone cover the sensor...didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions? Also am I the only one having a laggy ui when viewing a YouTube video. What I mean is before the video loads I can scroll through comments and etc smoothly but when it loads the menus and etc Start to lag. This happens with every streaming video. All advice is welcome.I'm on rooted stock ics and I flashed the wipe thing in cwm prior to flashing this Rom.
