Greetings all!
Firstly, thank you to all you devs that have put so much time in creating such slick ROMs. Me and my not so EOL Eris greatly appreciate it!
My question involves a bluetooth headset and the proximity sensor. I've been searching for quite awhile for a solution but have yet to find one that involves the Eris. I also haven't found anyone else with this problem so maybe it's only me.
But anyway I'm using GSBv2.5, and when I'm connected to a call using my bluetooth headset the proximity sensor is disabled. So the screen will not turn off when I place the phone in my pocket, and when it finally times out and the screen turns off, I can only turn it back on using the END, which effectively ends the call. Is there any way to enable it, or is this currently being worked on?
I've also tried enabling the use of the trackball to wake the phone, but that doesn't seem to be working with my Eris.
Thanks
I have never heard of this feature, or admittedly, ever used a bluetooth headset.
Has it worked that way for you on other android phones before?

Yep, this is pretty standard with the non-stock ROMs. You can turn the display on by holding Vol-Up while pressing the call key without losing the call. (I think holding VolDn works as well.)

Yes it has. I remember it working on the stock ROM before I started using the other ROMs. I also want to say it was working with xtrROM, but I'm not too sure.

Thank you, that's what I figured. I didn't know about the Vol/call combinations! The VolUp/Call combo works like a charm! Is there a key combo to turn the screen off? Maybe I can checkout the power widgets or something.
I've played around with switching between Bluetooth/Speaker/Neither and noticed that the proximity sensor doesn't work when I'm using either the bluetooth or the speaker for the call. But once I turn those off, the sensor works just fine. I'm thinking this is set in some configuration file, but I'm not sure which one. Any suggestions?

Not sure why this started happening, but whenever I call my voicemail the phone goes dark and I can't turn the screen back on. Neither pressing the power button or the home button does anything, but I can still hear the phone call. Any ideas?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Now the screen won't even turn back on after the phone call has ended
Do you use a screen protector? Check if the protector doesn't covers the sensor. It is possible that the sensor doesn't react well when it's covered (I had a similar problem with the Dell Streak).
Also try to make a call with a wired headset or if you make a call and you can't turn on the screen plug the headset in.

Might be a little bit late, but maybe for others
worked pretty well on my Samsung S4.
download the app "proximity fix" from the playstore and run it.
Job done.
Hope that helps you or anyone who stumbles upon this!

When I receive a phone call while the phone is off I get the option to either "Decline" or "Accept". I accept by pulling the green "Accept" button down and into the half circle. Immediately the phone turns off again, requiring me to push the power button again to turn it on. Although this is something that isn't terribly hard to do, it is annoying as many times I touch the speaker button. I would be nice if when I accept the call the phone would stay awake so I can just touch speaker.
I went through the settings but could not find anything. Any idea's?

This is a known issue with the Proximity Sensor not working correctly. My phone does the same thing and I am currently in contact with HTC support. I will let you know what I find out

So after a couple emails back and forth with HTC. I have been escalated to a higher tech person. Waiting to hear back

Whenever I place or receive a call, the screen turns off, and I have to cover up the light sensor to get it to turn back on. In order to end a call, I have to have the accessibility mode turned on to end the call with the power button. I'm running OmniROM, and the rest of the information about my setup is in my signature. Is there a way that I can disable this from happening? It makes it kind of a pain to navigate phone trees on automated systems. Is there a way I can get this to work? I have my phone in a ZeroLemon hard case.

It is not the matter of Zerolemon, I am also using that. It is having issue on Proximity sensor. Please google how to calibrate that or off that.

Thanks. I found the answer here.

Except the strange thing is, *#0*# doesn't work at all on OmniROM, so I had to check the calibration with ADB.

Ha..that even not working in my ROM. The reason behind might be deleting all *test.apk files from the ROM. Those usually been deleted as bloatware. But looks like you need those.
My HTC One Max's screen often comes on during calls. Then the touch screen reads my face's contact with the screen and acts according to what it thinks I selected. I have ended up several menu layers into apps that opened because of this. But worse, I have frequently had my calls mute - so the person I am talking to can no longer hear me.
I have had my HTC One Max less than a month, and it has had to be replaced twice, once because the 3G radio didn't work, and the second time because of this issue. Well, the current replacement has the same issue too. I used Android Sensor Box to test the functioning of the proximity sensor, which should be what controls this function. It appears to work, but my experience tells me that it stops working a few minutes into a call.
Your ideas and suggestions are welcome. I love the phone, but this is a problem I can't live with.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
My suggestion is to always press the power button during calls that way the phone only comes back on if you hit the power button again... The reason it comes on now during calls because your ear / side of your head covers and uncovers the sensors at the top of your phone so to eliminate that just turn the screen off by pressing the power button it work 100% for me, my wife had the same problem until I told her to start doing that.. Lmk if that works!!

when I use the original oxygenos, I always happens (in each call) that there are unintentional touches the screen that usually make me turn the microphone off or pause the call, all this makes it impossible to make a phone call.
I tried doing upgrades, downgrades, cache cleaning, reset but nothing!
The only way to solve it is to use the CyanogenMod 13 where the bug does not occur but.
can someone help me with this problem ??? I like the stock rom and I would use it without problems
Lock the phone after acepting or making a call, maybe? Ive never had such issues with OOS.

Yes! the only way is to turn off the phone with the power button after starting the conversation, it is still very frustrating!
If I type a number and make e call the display will immediately go off when I put the phone near the ear. If I just keep it in the hand it will not go off. I guess this is what happen by default. Maybe it has to do with some kind of sensor you turn off on your settings in OOS?

I think the screen is responsive to the touch in some cases despite the proximity sensor turns off the screen, it's a pretty serious problem, those of OnePlus are willing to fix it, but they will leave at least 30 days.
I do not understand if it is a sofware or hardware problem because with the various tests I did the sersore proximity seems to work fine, but I can not make a phone call without any problems
