Hello!
I need a App that allows me to activate the Screen by moving my finger across the proximity sensor!? Like this: If i do a phone call,
my screen turns off als long as i press the phone on my ear - after i put the phone down, the screen re-activates!
... Does anybody know a good (and maybe free..) app for this?
regards,
Stefan
(& sorry for my bad english)
doesnt android already do this
... only by a phone call, but there is no option to activate the display by moving the finger(s) over the proximity sensor!
maybe something like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielkao.autoscreenonoff
Or this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zuimeia.suite.magiclocker
I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
Or Gravity Screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=en
Thanks for all the Answers!!
... "Gravity Screen" is a crap for me, because the Display also activates itself in my pants pocket!
... i mean something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.suriv.suscreen&hl=de
=> But without some advertitsing & payments crap!!

Maybe have a look at Tasker and its countless options. I had once set up a task to take a screenshot by covering the proximity sensor, which works flawlessly. You can try to set up your desired task by your own.
Thanks for all the Answers, now i use the App: "Auto Screen On" from Dougi Hsu!
It works perfektly and has no adds or other crap! The Power usage is a little bit higher,
but not really crucial.
The App "Tasker" is very nice, thanks for this Info!

[FONT="]On the touch pro, the screen off during a phone call feature is a big annoyance especially if you have to enter number after dialing (passwords, pins, or any other touch tones)[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I absolutely hate the iPhone with a passion. However, I do admire the heatsensitive screen during a phone call. When you put the phone up next to your ear the screen turns off to avoid keypresses, and when you bring it away from your ear the phone screen automatically turns back on. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I'd like to emulate this function on the touch pro. I say emulate because obviously the touch pro does not have a heat sensor. My initial thought was using the accelerometer configuration in the Gyrator program. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I've disabled screen off and quick sleep via Shaps advanced config tool. I added the event in Graytor that when in the Phone program and in portrait orientation then turn screen off.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]However, there are some issues with this. I'd like to do this when call only, not in the entire phone program. Also, I can't seem to get the screen to turn back on when the phone is returned to face_up orientation.[/FONT]

[FONT="]If anyone has any insight, or if this issue has been already posted, or if you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them. [/FONT]
This cab will keep the backlight on during calls: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1885&postcount=13
I think what you're better off looking for from a development perspective is something that uses the light sensor (it's just inside of the headset speaker) so if it's dark the backlight is off...light and it's on. Currently the sensor dims the backlight under preset conditions but does not control on/off.
Thanks for the response. I can just make the regedits myself for the backlight always on. But I don't want to do that because then I can press keys on accident.
I do like the idea about the lightsensor though.
you can install slide to answer which includes a canvas that covers the screen like this:
hey, I was trying to avoid that solution,thanks for the post though,
anyone have any ideas on how to use the light sensor or gyrator to do this?
I disable the phone skin and my phone stays on during phones calls. It also got rid of the ring/caller ID delay.
but disabling the skin also gets rid of bluetooth notifier wether its on or not and of course you have the old buttons (yuck)
This is going off topic. I am not looking to keep the backlight on.
I hated it too I think this is what your looking for.

The problem with this CAB is that is changes the G-Sensor Polling to a ridiculous number like 10000, and that causes issues with any programs that rely on the accelerometer to rotate the screen automatically.

Oh I dont use any of the G-Sensor apps I only go to landscape when I use the HW keyboard which is rarely so I wouldnt have noticed. For me if it was between the G-sensor apps or the phone turning off during a call I would choose the phone not turning off. Sorry if I caused any issues to anyone.

i would take this 'hit' as well... i see it's not too definite of a fix but... the screen turning off during calls is weak.
*installs no sleep*
I don't think anyone is understanding what I am asking for. I am not asking for a way to keep the screen on during a phone call or to avoid turning it off.
I am looking for a developer to make a program that uses the TP's light sensor durning a phone call to AUTOMATICALLY turn screen on and off.
Example:
When there is full darkness(Phone is up to your ear) - turn the screen off
When there is light shown(Phone away from ear) - turn screen on
I need this but only during phone call.
I am not an expert but I think you have a problem here as the light sensor doesn't work in sleep mode
No it's not a problem.
It's a feature I want implemented using the light sensor.
lol, i think it is rediculious that people dont read his question (who can create a file/program that automaticly change with screen on/off).
Looking forward to see a change, because the screen goes ON or OFF manually isnt the solution.
Whoever makes this guy's program will be a hero.
I like that the screen turns off when I put the phone to my ear but it is annoying to have to turn it on again to enter pin numbers. Especially if you use the autolock feature as this means when the phone is awakened its back on the home screen. By the time I get back to the phone app and into the keypad it's often too late to enter my pin!
Hail Everybody!
Please can someone tell/teach me how do i get back the auto screen off during call? I tried with the tweak but still nothing happend...
its automatically turning the screen of . the approx sensor is responsible for that

Your totally right.. but the sensor only works half of the time!
screen off
I would be very happy to find an answer here as I have also the same problem!
When I'm in call my telephone call someone else or stop the call alone ( (with my hears?!? ) thought the screen looks "black" and so locked!!! it's vey enoying! .; when you cannot use correctly your phone as a phone!
I tried to lock the phone with the left button when I start a conversation (using AEB cab) but it doesn't always work ! It makes me mad! I could throw my HD2 in the litter sometime!
Thank you very very much if you find a solution! I goggled a lot for nothing!
Hail Everybody!
I already found a solution for my problem.
I just go to HD/HD2 Tweak and under GSensor make sensibility normal.
yes, but it would be nice to have the proximity turning screen off Real off...
HI,
just looking for some *.cab or tips to lock the HTC HD2 screen when i receve or make a call...
U know, several times the call ending because just touching the screen with my hear... so, i've tried some tips like cab to render the screen less sensitive, but is not working nice.
My last experience was good with Inesoft Phone v.6.05.cab, this suite can manage many thinks and for me the nice one was this one (can lock the screen when receve a phone call) Because most of the functions aren't useful for me i have uninstaled, also drain% LOW my battery very fast...
Well, anyway, i just wana know first if some ppl get same problem about this like me, after folded many threads here, i never see somone talking about...
Yes i've see about screen sensitive problem report but not when making call or answering...
Thank you for ur opinion ur suggest and may ur solutions...

bye, sorry for my poor english
ugh i have the same problem dude. the lockscreen doesnt lock during calls for some reason. well it locks then unlocks randomly. people suggest using s2u2 but it looks like sth from iphone and i dont like it. theres also pocketprotector but its paid and i cant be bothered paying 15$
I've got the same problem and searching for a .cab.
Incoming calls often ending when I pull the phone out of my pocket
Pocketshield should work for you. You can lock the screen and protect the hard press keys as well when recieving calls. It has many other features I have found handy as well. Their is a free demo you can download from their site. I love the proximity sensor...I leave it locked and when I pull it out of my pocket it automatically unlocks.

Isn't there a proximity sensor in HD2 already? The purpose of the sensor is to disable the screen when approaching to your ear, so it cannot end the conversation accidentally.
I have the same problem and it has been discussed on here before.
Seems to be an issue with light entering the proximity sensor. I cut people off and the keypad starts dialling when I go outside or enter bright sunlight and my head isn't covering the sensor properly (at least that's what seems to happen).
afaik the proximity sensor has nothing to do with light... the fact that the screen turns on i think it's a bug... for me it never turns on when speaking if i have my phone by the ear... instead sometimes the screen turns on when making a call and it starts ringing in the earpiece and again when the other part answers...

yes there is a proximity sensor in the HD2, but this one for me is never working in regard of this problem, working wel only when i receve a call to diminue the sound from the ringtone when approching the phone, nothink else...
bye
Your right this is another think. light and sensor working in different way for this problem.

you really need to RTFM... what has to do the proximity senzor with quiet mode (volumes drop when you pick up the phone from a table or somthg)?.... that is triggered by the g-sensor...

not easy..
thx.
Okaaaaay silly question time .....
Anyone know of any applications that will unlock the "screen dim" via a hand swipe over the sensors on the front of my tab to wake it up ?
I don't use a screen lock as such and i like the screen to dim as its good on the battery but becomes a pain having to hit the power button to resuscitate it back to life ..... YES I AM LAZY
Tried this but no dice as tab is not supported ...... via this thread .... http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051677
Any ideas please peeps ? Free or Paid is cool.
Thanks
:good:
I found a app that claims do approximately what you want:
try this app
Thanks for the link but.....nope wont work with my tab,
Thanks anyway :highfive:
it's so annoying that everytime when i talk on the phone for a long period, the screen turns on automatically cuz of the sensor, even tho i pressed the power button to turn it off, it will flash on again if my face isn't close enough to the sensor, so most of the time my face would touch the screen and do some stupid things like hanging up the call, changing the setting or sending a random text to someone etc.
The proximity sensor is useful in some ways, but is there any way that I can disable it during calls ?
