has any 1 else had this problem with screen turning black on a call on the lumia 800
i have to turn phone of to end call.
i have spoken to nokia uk who said the new update fixed this so when he asked for my version and told him it was 12070 he seemed to be shocked as this update was supposed to fix this problem.
he told me to reset phone and its still not fixed problem so he told me send phone to nokia for repair or replacement, this is a bit of a hassle as i need my phone for work is there anything i can do to fix it myself or does the phone have to go back to nokia.
I'm too having this issue. Any solution guys?
fix from nokia worked from me
i just spoke to nokia again and spoke to a tech help
he told me take my screen protector of the phone and it will fix the problem as the protector is blocking the proximity sensor.
i was scepticle at first so i thought ok ill try it not going to harm
and it fixed the issue the phone no longer turns black on calls and is working fine.
try it it may fix the problem.
but its also a bit stupid u cant put a screen protector on phone if it causes this problem but also told me to not cover top right hand corner of phone if applying another that is were the scensor is located its bloody stupid if u ask me nokia need to get this sorted
I shall try that. Kinda funny solution though
Thanks for sharing.

Its not nokia's fault. If you cover the proximity sensor in any phone, you are going to have this issue. I'm not sure what screen guard you are using, generally device specific screen guards are shaped keeping in mind the location of the proximity sensor.

look at the phone at an angle in good light. You'll be able to to see the proximity sensor then.
Also after you apple the screenguard, run the nokia diagnostic tools. There's a proximity tester as well.
Overal seems like a bad screenguard problem than a problem with the phone. The proximity sensor is in a good place.
I have this issue too on 12070. I don't have any shield on my screen...
hi .Nokia top corner of the glass is get loose.when you call push the upper corner problema resolvet

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.
Well I did it... Broke the screen a couple of weekends ago. Ordered and received a new one. (No problem and not too bad price-wise) Then I ordered the correct screwdriver. That came in yesterday and I followed a couple of tutorials online to take the thing apart. Not too bad despite the teeny-tiny parts. I got it back together and lo-it worked! Actually it took a couple of tries and I reflashed it but then it booted right up. All the apps seemed responsive and life was good once again...
Until I tried to make a call. Then the screen went dark and it appeared that the phone froze up. Called myself from the house phone and discovered that the Aria was dialing, connecting, and sending voice but that I couldn't hear anything on the Aria.
Disassembled, re-set the earpiece, reassembled, called myself again, and I could hear. The screen came on and stayed on, but the touchscreen would not function.
Disassembled, checked all the connections, and reassembled again. The phone appears to work correctly in all aspects until I try to make or receive calls. At that point the screen shuts down and the only way to disconnect a call (or get the screen back) is to pull the battery and reboot.
I tried reflashing the ROM and that didn't work. I'm afraid the transceiver is shorting the screen out somehow but have reached the limits of my expertise.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerry
I have never had to replace my digitizer so only speaking from what i have read but it sounds like the very small rubber piece that covers the proximity sensor. I have read that if missing or not placed correctly people have had the same problem as you. Just my thoughts
I've replaced my digitizer and I have had the exact same problem. E.Cardo is correct, it is the small rubber piece on the proximity sensor not positioned correctly or not present at all.
Thanks to both of you. The proximity sensor is supposed to be right behind the ATT logo, correct?
I can't wait to get home and try this. I really don't like the backup Cliq Xt... I'll post once I've messed with it.

It's hard to see them exactly so I took a picture to show exactly where they are:

It's actually just above the & in the at&t logo, although if you have a replacement digitizer, it might not have the at&t logo on it. If you have trouble seeing it, try looking at it in the sunlight.
To add to what drumist said there as small black rubber piece that goes around the proximity sensor that prevents light seepage and allot of people discard it by mistake when disassembling the phone.

Why did you have to reflash? The new screen didn't worked?.
My aria's screen is broken too. I boutgh a new one but It doesn't work. Do you resolve this reflashing? (that's mean applying the new rom version from ATT)
Thanks for your response.

The screen or digitizer are hardware they should have nothing to do with the rom. The op only tried flashing the phone to illuminate it is a possible source of the problem. It sounds like you did not install the new screen or digitizer correctly you may need to disassemble and make sure everything is connected correctly and securely. Flashing your phone will most likely not correct your problem.

Maybe, just maybe, there are new drivers for the touchscreen included in the rom. I am using cyanogen 7.0.3 without problems, and it works nice with the old screen.
Or the new screen is defective.
I am pretty sure I installed correctly the new screen. Of course the old one is working fine right now.
I requested a new screen so I will wait...
Thanks again.
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.
just bought my htc radar
the problem is when i start making voice call
the screen go black and i cannot do anything untill other person hangs up..
is there a way to solve this?
Do you have a screen protector fitted? Sometimes the screen protector can trip out the light sensor fooling the phone to believe your face is still pressed against it which will keep the backlight off etc, Had this issue in the past with my HD2 and HD7.

My wife has this same problem with hers. I found if you put slight pressure over the proximity sensor, that when you release it will function again. I'm guess that the glue holding the glass in place is faulty. This allows it to raise up slightly and cause the sensor to detect what isn't there.
I haven't tried tonwarrenty exchange hers yet with T-Mobile or HTC. Indo imagine that it's coming in the near future though. My wife is extremely annoyed by this.
I have the same issue. We have 75 HTC Radar company phones. A few of them have this very problem.
Most phones work fine after a hard reset, seems like some calibration error?

I am a phone repair tech and we have the same proximity sensor issue as stated above. We repair thousands of these phones and I would say atleast 25% of of these phones that come in the door have this issue and we have came to the conclusion that it is due to the sensor itself, for whatever reason, going bad, alot. HTC needs to address this problem, they need to either recall the phone or fix the issue free of charge. I plan writing HTC this afternoon and giving them a piece of my mind. If by chance anyone comes across a fix please let me know. We have tried everything that we can think of. I'll keep the thread updated as to what HTC has got to say.

I noted each time I make a call, the display immediately turned black. It auto turn black without me even taking up the hone up to my ears. I needed to press the power switch to have the display lit up again. Is this a proximity sensor defect ??

Yea I'm dealing with the same issue on my at&t model, it's definitely a proximity sensor issue. Also, I find that the proximity sensor functions relatively OK outside of the phone app when I'm on a call in terms of lighting of fading to black...I haven't found a fix yet, hopefully it's a software issue though somethings telling my it's not... Just another defect in a long line of LG phones as of late

I have a same issue but clean the proximity sensor and it will work. The proximity sensor is next to the speaker. Clean with your t-shirt or jeans.

I've cleaned it several times to no avail
I have noticed occasional "quirkiness" while in the phone app, but not to the point of requiring a battery pull. Example, connected via Bluetooth, while plugged to a charger in a call, no way to wake the phone without pulling the charger.

Thank you. Thank you. Your proposed solution works very well. Now no more this problem. Had never thought the sensor could be dirty or blocked over time. I had the phone only about 2 months
Problem update
Okay, I've found new info on the proximity sensor problem. Firstly, I noticed that my proximity sensor still works with the second screen, if I cover it up when my screen is off it goes black and comes back on when I remove my finger. Secondly, if I was on the phone but not actually in the phone app it would behave normally sometimes. Now today I found out that when I'm in the phone app, if I'm talking on the phone through the speaker the screen does not go black, as soon as I take it off speaker, the screen goes immediately blank. Still have not found a fix, but just more info that may help define what the actual problem is.
anyone have any update on this? this issue seems to be getting worse for me
Same issue, drives me nuts. This phone is a disappointment to me overall. Have an S7 on pre-order with Verizon. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
Had same issue just happen on the AT&T LG Escape 2. (Yes I know its a year since this thread was started)
It was the proximity sensor but the "T-shirt wipe" method didn't work for me.
What I did realize there was some gunk on the sensor, and I used a cotton swab (Q-tip) with alcohol and rubbed it till it was visibly clear of gunk. Now it works fine again..
