[Q] problems after touch screen replacement - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a probleme and i dont know how to resolve it!
i've replaced the digitizer of my htc aria, after that, everything seemed to working fines, but when i want to make a call, the screen shut down, and the screen and button are not responding anymore!! the only way to turn it on again is to receive a call.... it's very strange i know... and if the person that i call respond i hear it and i can hear if someone call me...
any ideas??

There is a photo sensor in the top right corner. When you installed the new screen that photo sensor got covered up. The phone thinks you're holding it to your face so it blanks out. Try pressing on the top right corner momentarily.
There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary math, and those who don't.

Proximity sensor .

sensors/digitizers/ speaker
whats the solution? I uncovered the sensor but the screen still goes black during a call and doesn't change unless the call is somehow ended. Also, now that i have changed my digitizer the speaker doesn't work unless I squeeze the top of the phone. any solutions?

My solution? HTC Vivid.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

Same story here - cheap digitizer off ebay

this is nothing to do with the digitizer itself. You've probably hadn't returned the rubber gasket on the proximity sensor during replacement. search for threads on this in this forum.

X10 has a proximity sensor?

Hi,
I'd like to know if X10 has that proximity sensor, that, during calls for example, can detect if your face is near of the phone, turning off the screen and saving some battery. I'm my opinion this is very useful.
Yes it does, although the stated usage is to avoid the face interacting with the touch capability. I don't know if it turns the screen off.
at least for my old Motorola Cliq the sensor is able to turn the screen on and off..
I haven't had any problems talking with the phone against my cheek. Read on a swedish forum about someone getting sms during a call and seemingly had answered the sms with his cheek. Needless to say, it was filled with junk^^

Yeah, I read that too! But I have never had any problems like that myself. Works like a charm!
Yes. It has a proximity sensor. It is near the top to the right of the speaker. It will disable the touch and dim the screen (which will also turn off after a time) when it is against your face.
Does anyone know if the sensitivity of the proximity sensor can be tweaked. Mine only blanks the screen when i put my finger within about 1-2 mm of the screen. Now i know i have big ears, but if i position the phone so that it is hard against my face but the proximity sensor is over the centre of my ear the phone comes on. Anyone else get that?

does the proximity sensor also works in pants or shirt??
for example: i pick up a call using bluetooth and the phone is in my pants, it seems that the phone screen n touch screen is on... if i move my body and accidentaly touch the "end call" button i suddenly hang up... this also happen if i accidentaly hit the speaker key on the screen... i know donut 1.6 doesnt have this problem, but after update to eclair 2.1 the screen doesnt shut if i pick up a call using a bluetooth...

Proximity sensor problem

My hd2 proximity sensor is not working (or i think so at least). When i bring my phone near my ear while phoning it's not turning the screen off. I tryed it with my finger too (the sensor is located left of the speaker) and again nothing happened. Is there a registry tweak or anything to re-activate it?
I searched the settings and i couldnt find it.
I have quite an issue with mie too but not exaclty the same.
i posted but no one seems to have an answer.
When I dial out a call and take the phone to my ear, the screen turns off ok, but when the person takes the call, the screen turns back on. I have to take the phone away frome my ear and bring it back to be sure the screen turns off again.
I know it's not what you've asked for, but maybe this app can help you decide whether your sensor works or not.

At the bottom you'll see how many lumens your sensor is detecting.
Goodluck,
Fred
thanks, i'll have a look

Hi,
i didn't had this problem with my old 2.07 radio.
The same problem came with the 2.14.
Right now installed 2.15 and the problem is gone.
I use artemis 37 and cht 2.0.

[Q] Sensor issues?

Hello there,
Recently I had my digitizer replaced and since then, I am having very weird thing with the screen turning off as soon as I am making a phone call. I thought it was a light sensor but in winmo it seems to be working fine, makes the screen brighter or darker depending on light. I hope I was able to explain what the problem is.
What could it be?

Doesn't that basically mean your proximity sensor is working correctly?
The proximity sensor turns off the screen during a call when it senses something close to the sensor.

Have you checked your battery contacts (pins) when the battery is removed? If they are bent, they could lead to weird screen/phone shut-downs.
Did you replace the digitizer by yourself? Or did you have someone else (like a professional) replace it for you? Something might have happened to the electrical wiring, or there might be some small piece of dirt/object that got stuck in front of the proximity sensor.
Best wishes -- I hope you get this resolved.
Hi,
Digitizer had been fitted by technician, I said the same to him that its some sort of physical issue causing the screen to go off whilst making a call. Bathe suggested its a software problem. However, if somebody came across with this sort of issue please let me know how to fix it.

I've been having this issue myself for a while now, after first installing the latest norwegian rom straight from htc, and now using the energy rom. I haven't had any hardware in the phone replaced tho.

[Q] loosy screen, volume buttons problem

I've recently purchased this great device from ebay and found out that the screen is a bit loose on the top. it's only something about 0.5mm and doesn't bother me at all. but the problem is that the volume control external button doesn't sit perfectly on the internal buttons so sometimes you press and they don't work.
I've notified ebay seller and he told me that's a known problem and that he could fix it for me. I just wonder if it's a small fix maybe I can do it on my own and save everyone the hassle of sending it back and fourth.
picture attached.
Mine does the same thing but it affects my proximity sensor. I have to push on the right upper corner when I want to hang up during a call, otherwise, phone thinks my ear is still up against the phone.

haven't tried that yet, so I can't tell if it's a problem.
I've had the same issue, both with the proximity sensor and the volume rocker. For me the top of the rocker is very loose and has to be pressed hard to get it to recognize. The proximity sensor, I found out, has a little cutout adhesive that is supposed to go between the sensor and the digitizer/lcd assembly.
Sometimes this gets shifted (for instance, when someone breaks their screen and decides it's a smart idea to replace it on their own like I did...) and you have to take care to place it back where you found it or you end up having to press the right corner of the screen to end your phone calls.
If anyone figures out how to repair the issue with the volume rocker, hit me up. I'm already knee deep in this thing, I might as well learn something new while I'm at it.

[Q] Proximity Sensor settings too high?

Hi everyone,
funny thing happened to my Mozart. Whenever I make a call the screen shuts off like it should, but it doesn't turn on again when i remove it from my ear until the call has ended.
Which works fine if the other person hangs up, but it means I can't hang up. Whenever I reach a voicemail i have to take out the battery to hang up!
First i thought it was a rom issue, i had just gotten my hands on the mango beta when i first noticed it. I thought it might be buggy.
But the problem remains after hard reset and flashing with a different rom (pre-nodo & nodo).
I found out that the sensor still works. The screen is reactivated when i shine a bright light (halogen spot or so) onto it - but only for as long as the source shines onto the sensor, else the screen shuts off again. wierdly enough, direct sunlight doesnt seem to be enough to trigger it anymore.
since i upgraded my phone with a 32GB microSD I guess I'm not eligible for warranty, huh? but im pretty sure it happen long after and i didn't accidently break something while opening the phone.
very weird... any ideas?
I had this problem on the weekend.
I removed the matt screenGUARD, and the problem disapeared.
Also you can reactivate the screen by pressing the on/off button...
thanks for your comments.
unfortunately, I don't use a screen protector and the standby-button doesn't work during a call
I have this problem also, with stock 7392 rom. The sensor seems to work when dialing, but stops a short time after a call is connected.
The power button works for me to turn the screen back on however...
Where is the proximity sensor ?
where on the device is the proximity sensor located?
I have been having difficulty with the screen not switching on during phonecalls and I have to remove battery to end outgoing calls. Pressing the power button doesn't help either. I don't have a screenguard to remove.
The problem started not long after, but not immediately after my daughter dropped the phone down the toilet. It took a few days for the phone to gently dry out and it worked again except for some residual water between the screen and the glass.

The sensor is about 1 cm to the top and right of the htc logo. It's barely visible and it is dark violet. (Or something like that, I am not very good at naming colours.)
Anyway, I sometimes also experience problems with sensitivity with HTC Mozart, mostly during calls, especially when the proximity sensor has been activated. Sometimes the home button freezes after a call... It's a bit annoying.
