Has anyone figured out a way to disable the proximity sensor. I just purchased a new case that I really like and don't want to go with a different one. Prob is that it catches just enough of the sensor to make it active constantly.
Edit. Just to get some feedback I found that adding this to build prop would work. True ? gsm.proximity.enable=false

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it'd hurt to try. I'll try here and test it out, then let you know my result.

Thanks Jonathan! I tried the build prop I suggested but it does not work .
Try a tiny little piece of opaque tape like electrical tape?

No problem, I just had an idea too, can you modify the case at all so that it doesn't cover the sensor stop you can still use it? I found apps on the play store that'll turn it off, but if you can cut a bit of the case off with an xacto knife...

No, the sensor is so sensitive that I would be taking it down to nothing making the case brittle. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Who makes this case and why would you put up with such a bad mistake from them?

It's called a koolkase. Looks nice on phone, glows in dark. All for sensor being bothered is a good case. Anyway, to keep clutter down could a moderator lock this for the time being.
Search "proximity screen off" on the play store, there's a lite version that should do the trick.

Is this case designed for the one x or our one xl? And what phone are you using it with?

It's designed for one x used on one x. Returned it though. Thank all for suggestions. If moderator is reading can you please lock this.

I believe it's for the secondary noise-cancelling microphone.
My cases cover it lol

I read somewhere that its to slip something into to release the flash. For repairing I'm guessing?

No don't ever tell anyone that. It's a Mic for noise cancelling. Not a hole to be sticking stuff in (that's not what she said)
Sent via the power of a unicorn's horn.
My case (Ringke Rearth) also appears to cover the hole next to the flash. Has anyone had any problems with this causing any problems for the noise cancellation? I havent had anyone complain about poor voice quality as of yet..
The reason I asked was that I bought an amazing case for $4 in Downtown LA yet it covers the hole.
Seriously though, this case is awesome. Going to take some pictures tomorrow.

If the DHD has the same hole, it's odd that Otterbox covers it up with the defender case.

A feature that to my knowledge, hasn't affected the performance of the phone. I can still be heard loud and clear.

Agreed. A lot of custom ROMs don't even enable the dual mic noise-cancellation feature by default anyway. The build.prop setting media.a1026.enableA1026 needs to set to 1 for this feature to work, but it is set to 0 or completely missing in a lot of ROMs.

Looks like in GTG'S ACE 1.0.2 update he disabled it because it was draining the battery. :/

It's been enabled in the Rom I am using, but I haven't noticed a difference on my end of the call. And no one on the other end has said it's any clearer than with previous Roms.. *shrugs*
Do you guys also think brightness level of the three capacitive button below the screen is too high? That causes the light leaks that is referred to here. especially at night, they look kind of annoying to my eyes. Is there a way to come up with a MOD to lower their brightness? Or it has to be changed at kernel level?
If so maybe we can post this to htcdev forums and ask HTC to do something about this.
I'd like to be able to turn them off completely. Annoying when watching videos at night. If solves the light leaks even better.

Adjbrightness . On Google Play, need root.

Awesome man. Turned mine off permanently.
Tip. Some reviews complain about the app having too many permissions. If you uninstall after making the changes, the settings maintain. We'll see if they remain after a reboot.

Probably not in any huge way unless you use the phone a lot in dark places.
For me, I prefer them off. Watching videos at night is much better and I no longer have the light bleed at the bottom corners

How do you turn it off permanently, mine does return after locking the screen.
In the options menu there is an option to force the button backkight off.
Btw- if you uninstall the app, the lights will return after a reboot. Have not tested with the app installed plus reboot.

Thanks man, did that but it return backs to normal after reboot. But anyway I am happy that the light leak is gone.
BTW, thanks the op for bringing this thread

If we can find the file that this app modifies, maybe we can make it more permanent. Unless that file reverts to stock after a reboot as well.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
That would be possible. I really hope a dev looks into this, want to get rid of the annoying light leak forever

anyone tried this? any tutorial? how should i change it?
thanks
Why do you want to change it? All you do is pull out the old one with that ring thingy...then slide a new one in....
Just curious about it ¤·¤
Thanks
Yes, it's possible. Use the metal ring-like thing to pull out the existing tip, and replace with a plastic one for, example. l put my used (non- new) tip upside down in the clear elastic band so that I can tell it's been used.l prefer the plastic tip as it's smoother to write with compared to the rubber one at least for me.

Nothing in the manual?
Just insert the nib into the half circle on the metal and clamp it. When you think you have a good grip on it, twist it clockwise, make sure the nib turns, then slowly pull up while turning.

I have Google Wallet installed and I'm having a problem actually using it. My NFC works fine. I've used it for other tasks but when I try to pay with Wallet by entering my pin and then holding it against the Pay pass device but it doesn't do anything and I end up looking like an idiot. Any ideas any suggestions?
Thanks

Likely the machine didn't work right or this guys didn't hold it properly or long enough. In my Otterbox Defender I physically placed my phone on the the terminal it surprisingly it took a while to trigger. Likely cause I didnt align it properly.
I have spent over 75$ using wallet.

Yes ditto. All walgreens, ASFAIK are disabled. Bestbuy is sometimes enabled, and 7-eleven sometimes the scanner is not tilted at the right angle for us to use it.
I've looked around but can't seem to find a video on how to exactly place it. Stupid question maybe but would help?

the back of the phone needs to almost touch or touch the NFC plate for the phone.
itll beep nearly immediately.
do you have NFC tags or have you used your NFC before?

yes I have them and use them daily. I guess as a last resort before uninstalling is I'll take my case off and try it that way. Thing is that my NFC tags work with my case so never figured it might be that.
you could be using it on inactive machines too. as long as you followed the steps in tonus guide it probably works.
So I removed the case and still no go. So I guess I will remove it.

The point is that it forces the proximity sensor to be always on. I don't know if it's a good idea for it: it's not designed to be always on, but who knows...
I use Screen Off and Lock and it works great, but it only allows switching off the screen. In order to wake it you'll still need to use the physical button.
