When I make or receive a call, the sensor recognizes that the phone is next to my ear and disables the screen, but when I move it away from my ear to look at the screen sometimes the screen doesn't turn on. Not even if I shake the phone in all directions. Is it defective? Is there a hidden setting I can change?

During a call, if I keep my HTC Hero close to my ear the touchscreen becomes none responsive, meaning I can't touch stuff by mistake. If I take my phone away from my ear, I can touch the screen again.
Which is fine. This is how it's supposed to work but there's a problem:
If a call lasts longer than 1 minute (or however long you set your phone to automatically go on stand by) the screen goes dark, which is fine in most cases but sometimes you need to look through your phonebook during a call or put the person you're talking to on hold so you can answer another incoming call, etc.
Of course you can just press a key and the screen lits up again and you can do all the above mentioned, but pressing a key like the "Reject button" (which normally unlocks your screen) will not only lit up the screen but also cancel your ongoing call.
Similar to that pressing any key might also have an undesired action, which can make any during call operations frustrating.
Can the screen be configured to behave like the iPhone's (or Nokia's touchscreen phones for that matter)? Meaning when the sensor detects the phone is close to something (like your ear) the screen goes dark to save power and it becomes non responsive, but when you take it away from your ear the screen lits up and becomes responsive again?
The change isn't that dramatic, go dark instead of just becoming unresponsive (waiting 1 min to go dark) and lit up again when the phone is no longer close to something, instead of remaining dark.

Take a look at the app "proximity sensor" as the hero doesn't have such a sensor. The app uses the light sensor to emulate it

I took a look at the app online, I'll try it out.
I didn't know the Hero didn't have a proximity sensor but whatever 2.1 does it does it well, I don't accidentally press anything, the touchscreen gets disabled.
I'm upset about the fact that the screen stays on and goes to standby after a while instead of being dark when the phone is near my ear and lit up when it's not.
The phone knows when it's close to something, it deactivates touch input, I just wanted it to also turn off the screen and turn it back on when it's not close to anything.
When a call is coming, the screen will be lighted up, but will not be unlocked. If I pick up the call by pressing the answer button on the bluetooth headset, the screen will be unlocked, and the proximity sensor will start working to prevent the screen to be turned on during the call.
The problem is, after hanging up the call by bluetooth headset, the proximity sensor stop working, the screen will be lighted up instead of turning off automatically, and it will stay in the dial interface. If the phone is in my jeans' pocket, the dial button will be pressed accidentally.
I remember the iPhone will turn off the screen automatically after picking up the call by bluetooth headset. Is there any solution or advice for this annoying problem?
Hi anyone had the latest firmware and when placing a call,the call proximity sensor turn off the screen, but when I remove the phone from my ears, the phone screen will not turn on. Only when double tap the power button the screen will turn on. Any one with such a issue.?

Its the proximity sensor...
here's the fix
now my proximity sensor is acting funny
i use direct call (when i put phone to ear, it will call the number on screen). that works fine, but once its at my face, my screen turns off. when i distance it away, it doesnt come back on, and i need to press home button to light the screen and to end call
tested the proximity sensor via *#0*# and it works fine.
help
This is normal. There's an option to disable this. I don't remember where, but exists. I think it's in the motion part.
Hi,
I sometimes use headphones for calls and keep the phone in the pocket.
Power button is hard coded to disconnect the calls so it's difficult to turn off the display during a handsfree call. It's a stupid decision on xiaomi's side. I now have placed lock button in the notification panel just for this purpose.
But the real problem is that, this extra sensitive screen wakes up in the pocket with some movements and as it's already unlocked because of the call, sometimes the call gets disconnected.
Is there any solution? I don't want to disable tap to wake up function. This problem also persists with audio navigation with Google maps.
