I don't know if it is my fault, but the screen doesn't stay black until phoning, so i always hit the "mute", "hang up" or "hold" button on the screen with my face, very annoying.
any suggestions?

i were on stock for about 10min
yes, it also happend with 1.3.0.2
CM 7.0.1 was said to have a proximity sensor bug, I wonder if the ROM you are using is related to this? I don't know much about the ROM you are using though, so I might be talking non-sense.

So your problem could be the ROM you are using.
Try stock.
Alternatively you could have a bum phone (bad proximity sensor)

I honestly think its either a bad flash or you might of accidentally messed with the setting. Go to the dialer and while on the dialer press the menu key and you should see a list of settings. Scroll down until you see the setting about screen time out while on a call.

when i go to the dialer and tap the menu button and select settings, i get a settingmenu, but the headline is "contact" the subheadline is "telephone" normal?
i just have two settings under the normal settings and "call settings" which could have something to do with the screenproblem and that are (sry i translate them german ^^) "always approach sensor" (on) and "screen always on" (off)
No idea if this is a ICS custom rom thing, but I remember it happened on stock as well.
When trying to install an .apk from sdcard (sideloading), I get the PackageInstaller confirmation window. Sometimes the right side where the OK button is, is non responsive (left side on Cancel can be clicked). After some trying, it works. Now, I have no idea what causes this, but it's ****ing annoying and seriously makes me want to throw the phone up the wall.
Anyone else noticed this ?
Did you enable installation from Unknown sources?

Um, yeah, the issue is in the Package Installer, I wouldn't even get to it, if I hadn't enable that.
That happens to me if I have the app Screen Filter enabled/on.

Hm, I've got Lux installed (manages lowest auto-brightness setting, because stock ICS is too dim). Perhaps that could be the issue. I'll try it out, thanks

I'm the developer of Lux. PackageInstaller shouldn't have any issues with Lux installed provided you haven't turned off 'compatibility mode' in settings.

Oh man, you're a genius. I've had this problem time and time again and always wondered what it could be. I've ran around the problem using a "silent" installer.

I tried uninstalling Lux and responsiveness was suddenly back, it recognized the touch everytime.
Compatibility is on -> screenshots
When I restored Lux back again, the responsiveness went back to nonconsistant, sometimes it works fine, mostly it ignores the touch.

Seems like some kind of Android protection to disable side loading lol, when an app with certain "screen manipulation" functionality is running

As you said I believe that's the case so you don't install malware thinking you're installing something else. Click hijacking isn't cool, kids!

You might have to wait a couple of seconds before Lux disables itself. Lux needs to poll to check the current foreground app and disable itself. It polls every 3 seconds, unless it has detected the same app a few times in a row, in which it slows polling down to 9 seconds.

I see, maybe I was trying to hit the OK too fast, because now it seems that it works after waiting couple seconds. Thanks.

No problem. I wish there was a cleaner solution, but alas the Android API doesn't provide an intent which warns apps that a secure view is being shown.
Really Android should be drawing secure fields above everything else, rather than disabling the view - whoever thought that was a good idea isn't very intelligent.

This app uses your phone's motion, gravity, and proximity sensors to automatically turn on and off your screen so that you don't have to press any keys (software or hardware).
For instance, when I put my S4 inside my pocket or holster it to my belt clip, the screen turns off automatically. When I take the phone out, the screen turns on automatically as well.
I've tried a few apps similar to this before but this one just works very well and consistently.
I already installed it on my mom's and wifey's S2s and they love it too~! Just wanted to share the goodness~
Wow it is pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. .

No problem. I figured there must be others who will find this kind of app convenient to have around. I just love not having to press the home or power button every time I want to turn the screen on.
Any hit on battery performance?

The author of the app said to expect a hit about 5%. I've been using it for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any difference so far. But then, I'm running on the ktoonsez kernel with -50mV, all-around.
Freekin love this app
Thanks for the heads up op! works like a charm, now I've got to get used to not pressing my power key on wake
****'ll Buff Out
Sweet app....I noticed I had to lower the sensitivity while my phone was in my mount while driving. The screen kept coming on.
Nice catch. Love this app.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks for the find!

Very nice find, bought the pro version right away, this is awesome but does anyone knows if there's something you can do so when you put your phone face up on the table it lock it without waiting 5 secs?

The only time the screen turns off on me when I don't want it to is when I text and I accidentally rest one of my fingers over the proximity sensor by mistake. Otherwise, it's been good. I wish there was a time-delay option for proximity sensor to turn off the screen so an accidental finger covering up the proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen right away.

I see. It's an extra step but you could pull down the notification menu and pause the app before gaming then turn it back on afterwards. My mom tells me that sometimes when she's watching Netflix, the screen turns off on her. I told her not to cover up the sensor but she just disabled the app.

Thanks! This fits the bill, the other drivers on the road thanks you too!
According to GSam battery monitor, Gravity Screen Off is responsible for only 0.2% battery drain. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of this app.
Why am I having so much trouble getting light flow to work? I just had it working fine on my galaxy Nexus so I definitely know how to set it up but no matter what I do it won't work.
Are there any special settings I need to turn on or off?

Make sure Light flow is checked in accessibility settings. So currently, having an "always on" notification for any one setting will mess with the other settings. Dev is working on a fix. other than that it should be working.
What exactly is happening on your end, you didn't give a lot of detail?

You answered my question, all my notifications had been set to always on.

No prob. I emailed the dev, he says he is working on a fox, so it shouldn't be too long now.

Yeah for sure. The main reason I thought I was doing something wrong was because Droid life posted an article that gave me the impression the "always on" was working.

You should be starting to get the update now. I've done a workaround for always on as the LG drivers just don't accept it. I'd class the "always on " option for the Nexus 5 as being "almost always on"
Updated the app now, will see how it goes
I still seem to be getting notification light illuminated after the notification has been read.
Addmitedly I don't have it running as a foreground service.
Anyone know of a way to get rid of the lightflow notification in the pull down shade? I like to keep that area clean for notifications. I know other apps offer an option to disable that notification.

I've had it twice. Last one was just 2 minutes ago within hangouts. Nothing happened, no crash or anything just this in the notification bar and it asked me to send it.
Same thing here as well. Showed up twice since i had the phone. Got mine the monday after release. As others, nothing crashed, phone still operated as normal.
Bug reports are generated if you hold volume up & down + power.
More than likely you are doing this by accident.

No crashes here either but I am geting this quite often...
Also noticing this, even if I'm not even using the phone. Most recent one was an hour after the last time I had picked up my phone. It was just sitting on the table and bang, vibrates to tell me there is a bug report. I feel the need to re-iterate that it is happening without me having any interaction with my device.
Sometimes tight-fitting or crookedly-installed cases can press the buttons. Just a thought.
