[Q] Proximity Sensor use - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I am using Ace of a year now. And I still cant understand that Samsung guys gave proximity sensor just to make screen go off when you are in a call. As proximity Sensor wont work for other uses (like snoozing alarm or silent an incoming call etc.)
Can those things work for my ace? is there any tweak or something that will make it work?
your help will be appreciated.. ty

For example? It's true that it could be in more things and it isn't been used.

So I guess there might be an app to snooze alarm and to silent an incoming call.. isn't it?

SURE it's an app called TASKER, in tasker you can do anything !!! the problem is you need to know how to use it.... but... search for a tut......mmm basicly the app is:
IF->ACTION
FOR EXAMPLE you can use the sensor for silent a call when you face down the phone (yes, like sense )
the limit is your imagination
