Got a brand new DS couple of days back and....right from opening the box..the first call..proximity sensor is playing up. Most times i have to pull out the battery to end the call.
Tried the following with no result
1) Installed DHD Proximity re-calibrator
2) Factory reset
3) Installed Vitrous Unity 1.27
4) Back to factory rom, blew hard between ear piece and sensors
5) Removed screen protector and tested
I have S- Off and really dont want to go through the pain of visiting HTC. Would greatly appreciate some help here ...as always !
did you press the back button in between the call?
this has happened to me on stock rom only if i press the back button during the call
i haven't tried it on LBC rom yet

I noticed that only half the proximity sensor is visible, the other half is covered by what appears like black plastic part. Is this how it is supposed to be?
My proximity sensor is completely visible.
No..i haven't pressed the back button.

Is it the left sensor of the two sensors?
I have exactly the same problem. The issue seems to be that Desire S proximity sensor active distance is 9cm, when on my older Desire ir is only 1cm.
When working with some Proximity sensor tools, I have discovered, that you need to put your phone like 25cm (have no idea, how many inches) away from any obstacle in 30degree radius. If that is followed, I haven't been able to recreate a battery pull ocasion of sensor failure. However in real life talking, it is impossible to guarantee.
That there must be some sensor configuration possibilities, so that we could decrease sensibility to minimum distance. Such change should solve this sensor bug, as it would be normal operation distance.
Maybe some dev knows, how to play with proximity sensor?
Yeah, I have had this problem a long time with this phone didn't happen that much at first then it became more and more apparent.
Found the problem and solution, it lies with the screen protector, yes it might be transparent but the sensor detects it. Using a sensor testing app from the market it suggested the sensor was covered almost all the time.
So the solution was replace the protector with new one but cut an arc at the top just big enough around the sensor at the top left, easy fix now in call screen is more responsive.

Proximity sensor
I've been having the same issue. I gave my DS to the HTC workshop and they said it was faulty hardware. They will be replacing the system board since the sensor is soldered to it (under waranty).
Before sending it in, I tried a few roms and hacks but it was never resolved. I recommend you visit your local HTC warranty center.
I have the same problem with the proximity. I installed an app called Anyunlock which seems to have solved the problem. It seems to be able to wake it when the screen turns off after a call. The app allows you to unlock with the volume key and replaces the lock screen with its own. I hope this keeps working

No i didn't because replacing the touch screen wud cost me around 3500+ rupee from Samsung were as in local market you would get new phones for 4500+ rupee with much better hardware and latest OS which was ginger bread and ICS during those days so i didn't go for repairing it and when i tried inquire to second phone retailing shop cost of this phone if i buy second hand it was sold for 1500 rupee so.... it was not worth investment .
hi all, my sensation xe keeps on screwing me up with touch problemz...
having listened to some music, when it gets a little warmer in its bottom, touch quality gets terrible, in a way that i have to tap the screen several timez til it'll let me unlock the screen. of course this issue persists when the phone is lied on its back. n i'm sure that it ain't relevant to softwarez or rom. only hardware i think.
what do u suggest for me to do? n what's ur opinion about putting a little alumminium foil on the metal part on its back connecting it to the back cover? plz hel me
