Hi,
The fingerprint animation while screen is locked appears every time except when the phone is vertically upside down or when the phones screen is fully covered from top to the level of power button(I guess some proximity sensor is used to make this happen).
But exactly where is this sensor??
I am not able to find an app which connects with the proximity sensor of our phone. Any app?
Just curious

As we all know by now, "The HD2 includes a variety of sensors including a Proximity Sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call. A Light Sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display..."
The subject matter of this thread is the Proximity Sensor, meaning, when you receive a call and put the phone to your ear, the screen supposed to turn off so you won't accidentally hang up or open other application by touching the screen with your face. The Proximity Sensor of my phone worked perfectly. However, couple of days ago the Proximity Sensor stopped functioning and I'm wonder what could have caused that. I'm picking up the phone, talk on the phone and the screen is fully lit. I remember that, one day, I calibrated the screen... Could that have been the cause?
Anyway, does anyone know how to turn the Proximity Sensor on or, if it is on, how to make it work properly?
Thank you.
i'm having problems with my proximity sensor. in the middle of a call, the screen lights up suddenly even when i got the phone pressed hard against my ear. is there an app that can fix this issue?
I would like to know this as well, my sensor seems to have a mind of it's own whilst I'm on the phone.
Hi everyone,
I have p760 with cracked digitizer, looks awe full but it still usable. But i have problem, i didn't notices it happened after the screen crack or before, now my proximity (light) sensor doesn't work, while I'm in the call when i hover my hand above the phone sensor it doesn't go black. I have downloaded program "proximity sensor finder" which when you hover hand shows approx how many cm's your hand is, but it always shows (----- cm) like my proximity sensor even not there
Thanks, for your help
My device (a Samsung Galaxy pocket Plus) has no proximity sensor and therefore doesn't turn off the screen when I am talking. So I am searching for a way to turn off the sceen at the beginning of each call to avoid random input on the touchscreen.
I found a lot of similar questions in the forum, but I found none that applies to my situation. In most cases people have a crashed proximity sensor and use the app "proximity screen off" as workaround, but that app doesn't work if there is no sensor present.
Is there an app that turns screen off in the moment I or the other side accepts a call without the presence of a sensor? If not: Would it be a big deal to create one?
I have a problem with my proximity sensor (probably dust?) and I can't clean it. Now, every time I get a call on all roms I tried the screen shuts off (that is normal) but won't turn on (ie. if I have to press keys while talking or activate speaker)
The only way I have for now is flashing a very bright light on the sensor and it only works sometimes....
So my question is : is there and app, a dialer, an option, a way or whatever other trick to have the screen turned on while in a call?
Peek at this:

Supposed to be a free tmobile proximity sensor recalibrator here, but the page wouldn't load for me. Maybe it is available elsewhere.
Also, if your screen protector is covering it, maybe that is making a difference?
I couldn't find a way to disable the proximity sensor or change its sensitivity, however there might still be a way.
Good luck.
