Proximity sensor - HTC Desire X

Hi, my DX was repaired few months ago and I'm not sure about proximity sensor in our DX. When I open Sensor box in All-in-one Toolbox I can get only 2 values - 9.0 and 0.0. Do you get the same values or you get something between those two?
Thanks in advance

Yep, the sensor in our device can't see how far your hand is from itself. It can only determine is your hand in front of it...

So in other devices it works different? Something like Air Gestures wouldn't work on DX, would it?

Rezound and gyroscope

I saw on a website that Rezound doesn't have gyroscope , is this true ?
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using xda premium
No, it doesn't have a gyroscope. I'm not aware of any phone which does. The Rezound does have an accelerometer, which can sometimes do similar things.

It has one, here are the vendor and stats even lol. Many zigzag runs on Temple Run have been made too
I'm pretty sure that all android phones have gyroscopes

Temple run uses the accelerometer. Not the gyroscope.
This actually intrigues me now

Accelerometers, yes. Gyroscopes are now in many phones but older or cheaper phones may not have them. Reading around the web suggests most mid and high end phones this past year or so have gyros, but there are still exceptions. Searching the web also brings up a running list on another forum:
http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/308045-androids-gyros.html
This list is not necessarily accurate (Vivid has a gyro, and the Razr has the hardware but conflicting reports on it being engaged at launch) but it reflects how not all phones may come with this component. Note the Rezound's predecessor, the Thunderbolt, doesn't seem to have one - that was surprising.

True, Temple Run probably does just use the accelerometer to accomplish its simple movements. Same goes for a lot of games. Gyros are more often used for accurate movements and are in games like GTA III and Asphalt 6 (though users sometimes get "bugs" from the gyro not initializing accurately and need to recalibrate it.)
Now, it is also worth noting that programming for backwards compatability ensures the app "degrades gracefully":
http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2011/01/how-to-use-gyroscope-api-and-remain.html?m=1
So an app may, for example, be coded to "prefer" using a gyro and accelerometer together for movement input for top notch performance, then roll back to just the accelerometer if gyro isn't there. Just the jist of things there without getting too technical.
Yes, the rezound has a gyroscope.

[Request] NFC while screen off.

Hi
I hate to request things if I can't do it myself. Anyways is there a mod out for the DNA that allows NFC to be on while screen off. For example I have a NFC fan built into my wireless charger that opens an night stand app. It gets annoying when I have to make sure the screen is off. I would like it to be able to unlock the screen( I have no password) and then continue to its business(open the alarm clock).
Thanks

Ah. Ok. Well, you can accomplish a similar task but without using NFC from "Secure Settings": https://play.google.com/store/apps/...pYmxlb2JqZWN0LnNlY3VyZXNldHRpbmdzLnBsdWdpbiJd
At least, I think you can. I haven't dug into the app too much yet.

Need, or want? If the app launches your dock app when docked, doesn't that cover what you need? (Not that I care - want is fine, but... what does using NFC to launch the app buy you?

May I make a request?

I do not wish to impose on the devs as they are doing some great work for the ones who are not that inclined , one of which is me, but I would like to make a request of one for a mod if its possible. I have a GS4 and the HTC One, the GS 4 has an internal app that both the yahoo mail and gmail can be read from the one app, it gives notifications of both , I was wondering if its possible to come up with a similar app for the HTC one?
Doesn't the HTC mail app do that

Ok, after playing with it for a few minutes I see that it does do the same thing, I never used it as such and wouldn't have known about the GS4 app if a Factory rep hadn't told me in a store one day on a display. Seems that it does basically the same thing , able to read and notify of multiple emails at the same time.
Thanks guys. Learn something everyday here.

How do you open the phones back?

I got a new vibrator and tried unscrewing the back of the phone (6 screws) but the red back is not coming off easily and I'm afraid I would break something. Any tips on how to remove the back correctly and safely?
Thanks
