so the last few phones calls ive had with this phone, laying down, holding from ear, bringing the phone in front of me, the screen wont stay awake for me to press end call. i try to shake it to rustle the jimmies but i cant press the end call button. the screen will pop on for a micro second, then go black, constantly.
i calibrated my gsensor, and ive turned off auto rotate.

Trim your screen protector around the proximity sensor area.

From time to time I disconnect a call by accidentally pressing with my cheeck End Call button on the screen.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Yup
Cellotape a 10cm pencil perpendicular to the bottom of your phone.
That way if it gets too close you'll feel it before you hang up.
yeah, don't hold it to your cheek. Hold it a few mm away from it. The mic isn't that bad you really need do speak in to it...
The screen switches off after a few seconds onto the call. Just wait a little till you hug your phone
Ok... I apolagize in advance if this has been muted before, but I really dont know what to search for.
My problem is, that when i make a call the screen turns off, ( As it should ) but when Im asked to tap in an extention number or 'press 1' etc I cant turn the screen back on, all the soft keys light up but the screen refuses to come back on untill I end the call.
If I dial in the number and the screen goes blank on connection, some times im able to turn on the screen if I move quickly enough and press the sta key.
Im running a htc hd2 with an the latest energy rom.
ditto
have the same problem, would love to find a solution...
Same problem here so I D/Ld Phonex from Iconsoft. Really like this a lot better and is so much more user friendly.
I'm not sure if you're having the same problem I was, but it sounds very similar...
What I discovered is that at the upper left of my screen protector, there are two round cutouts for the proximity sensor. The screen protector has never adhered very well at this point, and it was pulled away from the glass, causing the phone to belive that it was constantly near a face, and blacking out the screen.
I discovered this after being so frustrated that I removed the screen protector, and *voila!* the telephone worked as advertised. I used a hair dryer to warm the screen protector to re-adhere it, and the phone still works properly, but I don't know for how long.
I understand that there is a registry setting to disable the proximity function for the phone, but I haven't gone to this length.
I hope this helped!
I had the same problem till i change te Radio version to 2.10 or above then it disappeared
I have the same problem, screen protector causes this problem for me....
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.
So just recently, I noticed that whenever a call ends, the screen remains black and the proximity sensor is still on (red). I've tried pressing the unlock/lock button, but nothing happens. I know the call has ended because I hear the 'ring' that it makes. I've tried it with and without "The power key ends calls", no difference. I have not flashed anything different recently. The only solution I found was to hold down the power button until it restarts, but when someone calls, I have to repeat the process all over again. It was never like this until today. Does anyone know of a solution?
I'm currently on UnNamed 1.3.2 with Entropy's 1/2/12 DD
I'm currently having the same problem with the stock (rooted) ROM... Occasionally after a call, the next time I try to activate the screen, it just stays blank. Sometimes after a call, it's similar to what you described with the end button call staying red and the screen frozen. I have to hold down the on button for 5-10 seconds to reboot the phone. This phenomenon just started about a week ago. The phone has been working flawlessly until then.
I thought that maybe it's some app update gone astray.

I forgot to mention that I found the culprit, it was my screen protector. I had ordered one of SGP's screen protectors since a lot of people were saying it was good, but when it finally arrived, I noticed that it was very sticky and had covered over the proximity sensor. Over the coming days, the screen protector attracted dust due to it's stickiness when I put it in my pocket. You can probably guess what happened, dust was covered over the area of the proximity sensor, causing it to malfunction like that, but after I took it off, all was well, and now I'm rocking my phone half naked - case but no screen protector. I think I'll leave it like that from now on, gorilla glass feels and looks awesome
When making a phone call, the screen goes blank when putting next to my head, then remains blank when the phone is removed from the head area. Must hit the Home button to get the screen back. I have no case on my phone but a screen protector and screen protector isn't covering the sensor. I check the proximity sensor in call setting and it's turn on. Not sure what can be causing it not going back on. Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I dont think that it is broken thought because I can make a call by bringing the phone to my head from a contacts page.
Did anyone figure this out yet? For those that are seeing the problem are you running stock rom, did you root or make any mods?
I see this issue as well, but was thinking it may be due to the spigen glass cover I have on, but I just checked my sensor reading and it appears to be reading things fine, it just wont turn the screen back on after. I am rooted on Stock, running nova prime as my launcher, not many other mods I can think of.

I cannot get my proximity sensor to work either! It is really ticking me off. I guess I will have to try get Verizon to give me a new one.
yea, I ended exchanging my phone since it was a broken proximity sensor. WIth my broken phone, if i squeeze the sensor for about 10 seconds putting pressure down and released, the proximity sensor will work for a few minutes. If you are able to exchange the phone, I would recommend to do so.

I would recommend you to test it.
Click on "Phone", you should have numbers on your screen now. Type in *#0*#, click "Sensor", now hover your hand over proximity sensor, if the screen goes green and/or phone starts to vibrate, your proximity sensor works. If it doesnt, i think your proximity sensor is broken.
