With thus flow you can silence the phone when you get a call (place your hand over screen for a sec), turn screen on/off and turn on your computer via wol (place your hand for 2 sec over screen). Proximity is turned on by face up orientation and turned off by compass (when you move your device - picking it up). You can rotate it on a table also as long as orientation is face up, proximity will stay on. If you carry your phone around in a case proximity will detect that and turn off so it wont turn on if you put it on a even surface while it is in the case. As soon as you will take it out and put it on a table proximity will come back on again. Calls are also detected so it will turn off to not interfere with the screen on/off functionality during a call.

There are proximity programs that turn off your screen...
How about turning it ON -- when NOT in your pocket?
basically can we force the sensor to keep polling for "proximity" and do anything on NOT covered
AND
if so would every 3 seconds be too big of a power drain

I got in the habit with thee above program to just put my phone face down instead of hitting the end call button OR in my pocket w/out pushing any buttons, I would love if the screen just auto-on'd when "OUT"
ALTERNATIVELY
could the screen just turrn on when I touch it ?
again, I get that always polling the screen could be a big drain ....
As the title says the phone's screen won't turn on after I ended a longer call, i have to press the power button to get the screen working.
Did it happen to you also?I have this phone for 2 months but it never happened in the beginning, this seems to be a recent issue.
Is it a hardware issue or a software bug?I've tested the proximity sensor and it works just fine as much i can tell, it switches the screen of and on, it never happened to wake the screen during a call and to activate random keys.
Another strange thing that i noticed during a call:If have the keypad up and i lay the phone horizontally the screen won't turn off if i hover my hand over the proximity sensor but if i put the phone vertically the screen goes off or if i hide the keypad the screen also goes instantly off.
After every reboot,the proximity sensor works fine for the first few calls. It properly turns off the screen during a call when the device is near your ears & turns the screen on when it is moved away.
But post 4-5 calls, the sensor stops working. Irrespective of how you hold the device, the screen does not get turned off. User needs to manually turn the screen off & on using the lock button. This continues for all calls after that.
Rebooting the device fixes this problem again but only for 4-5 calls...
Can Anyone Found The Fix???
I recently started having an issue that when I make a phone call and then hit my power button to turn the screen off, it keeps popping back on after a few seconds. It will not stay off.
I dont think its a proximity sensor issue because when I hold it to my face or cover it with my finger, the screen will go off.
Its not good because when I make a call and then turn the screen off and put it in my pocket, the screen will come on and buttons get activated. I have noticed that if I dial and THEN hit HOME key and then use power button to deactivate, screen will stay off. But I dont always remember to do it that way and dont understand why suddenly just using the power button no longer works.
Any advice?
Is there a way to shut-off or override the proximity sensor?
I'd like to be able to turn the screen on and off with just the side button/power button during a phone call.
The sensor itself is already broken and the phone stays black/off right after placing a call no matter what kind of movement I try to do with the phone.
A manual override would be fantastic.
