I haven't seen any aosp roms that have proximity sensor working. CM7 and OMFGB don't shut off the screen when I put the phone to my face to make a call. Is it just me? It doesn't seem like anyone is talking about this bug, is it being worked on? My family is getting sick of me hanging up in them with my face. Haha.

This always happened to me with aosp roms, always. There's a paid application on the market called "don't hang up". Well worth it in my opinion.

Thanks! Found a free version on the market and seems to work great.

Hi guys, Ive heard about an app that will turn the display of the touchpad off when the display is covered (using official HP folio case). I am using the latest official CM9 nightly, I've tried searching for it but to no avail, any help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Liam
There isn't one, because it would constantly have to be on, and enabled, and scanning, so it would most likely kill your battery more than it would help.
There's a thread about this in the Q&A section asking the very same question, and that's the answer given there. However, if you can find a way to make it work, please feel free.
Actually there is its called smart screen of if I remembered correctly and no it does not take as much battery

Thanks for that I've just downloaded it and will give it a go and report back.
Many thanks
Liam
I sit corrected. Thank you for that. I'm glad to be proven wrong.
Did anybody get this to work? I've downloaded it and so far hasn't worked .....either that or the proximity sensor on CM9 isn't working
I couldn't get it to work either, I tried to apps both similar in nature but neither would work. Would be good if anyone has any luck getting it to work to post their set up on here so others could try it. I tried it on stock official nightly.

The app uses a proximity sensor usually located next to the earphone of most cellphones. To my knowledge the touchpad has no proximity sensor so it won't work. Very useful app on any device though.

You sure it doesn't operate using the camera? I remember one which operated using the camera hence would not work on cm9

the touchpad has a proximity sensor....its in the right corner of the screen the side where the camera is, visible if you hover a led flashlight you'll see a circular red thing glinting.

Never noticed that lol.
But don't these apps use front-facing cams?

hit thanks if that helped
the description for the app says it uses the prox sensor.....my guess is the sensor's drivers aren't on android for the touchpad yet
I don't think it's functional in android. It's not been a major priority. I tried a few apps that leverage the sensor, but to no avail.

I read this the other day and decided to use one called Case Switch. It uses the light sensor/ proximity sensor to determine if the light is low enough to turn off. Anyway, been using it for several days, love it! I recommend setting your lower min at 48lux. This setting allows for the screen not to turn off under evening low light settings. When I got this on Sunday the 24th there was a free demo and the pro version was $1.00.
Like I say, it works very well and its an excellent addition to or already amazing tabs.

I don't see any app in the marketplace called "Case Switch."
Edit: I'm assuming you meant Case Sensor? That app works perfectly for the touch pad.
Touchpad has NO proximity sensor, just an ambient light sensor for auto brightness. The small purple dot next to the volume rockers.

It is called Caseswitch. It is made by MaxInvention.

When I make a call, the phone light goes off right away, normally, the light will stay on during a call, but not in this case, I am using Mean Bean. Any thoughts?
Sounds like the infamous proximity sensor bug introduced in jb for the elte...some roms have it fixed, some still have the problem....I'd contact the meanbean dev (mikey I think his name is) and see if his Rom has it fixed or he has a workaround...

I think some people running MeanBean are still having issues with the proximity sensor.

I know only certain phones have the issue. For example, I don't have any problems with it.

none
OK THank You for your responses
After the ota to jb on my wifes stock non rooted xt912 the proximity sensor stays on. I assume because it stays illuminated. While locked its a bit dim yet fully illuminated while unlocked causing a noticeable battery drain. It still works just wanted to know if anyone else had this issue or how to resolve it. Of course I have done the basic trouble shooting for a stock device FDR .. safe mode... let it die and recharge... thank you kindly for your time...

Try "phone tester" free on play store
It basically tests the different phone sensors ,
At least you'll no if it's a hardware fault

well I swapped out the main board of the device to see if it was an issue with the screen itself yet the main board with the new screen still does it and the old screen with the new board does not... so it must be a software issue ... I guess I'll just have to wait for the fast boot to leak... unless it has already in that case could one point me to the link to download... thank you kindly for your time... sensor testers say its working and show change in proximity...

So I have not rooted.or tampered with my one yet. Noticed today that my home and back buttons don't light up.. I know they did yesterday when I got it. Did I accidentally turn them off somehow? Or should I go return? Any thoughts ladies and gents ?

Try covering the two little sensors on the top left of the phone and press the keys again to see if they light up. If they don't, then no bueno. If they do then success.
I had tried covering up the sensors and that didn't work..after 3 factory resets in bootloader they finally started working. All seems to be running fine now.

cool,. glad you got it working
Were they just not lighting up or bit working at all? I ask because there's another thread about the buttons not working at all from time to time so I'm curious if that will work for our issue as well? Don't want to factory reset if I don't have too
