[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] your_login:
Hi everyone, welcome to the next thread of mine where I would like to share with you an interesting case of a'faulty' proximity sensor. The issue with the sensor started a few weeks ago (I own my defy for a few months) and the problem I had with it was that sometimes during I was making a call the screen was not being turned off, and more whats more annoying - the screen was never turned on again after finishing the call.

I do not have a screen protector and the screen glass is original.

I downloaded an application that showed the state of the sensor and after a many examinations i found out that many times the sensor does not distinguish between the states of being covered and uncovered.

I tried everything - factory reset, clean installations, different ROMs - nothing helped. The only thing that helped a little was a tweak availale in the CM7 ROM by Quarx (not available in the STABLE CM7 though!) in the screen settings menu -which forced the screen to be turned on after finihing a call, and I could also set the power button to end a call in the accessibility options. So this helped but did not solve my problem.

Fortunately, after many questions asked on so many threads, the user monecafe PMed me with a link to a video where its clrealy shown what is the problem and how easy it is to fix it! (:

without sayng more - here is the solution for anybody experiencing this issue:

I used to have this problem. Stable CM7.2 solves this issue for me. I used to get the screen to turn on before by just rubbing the area with the proximity sensor with my thumb as if it was dirty.

I also have problems with proximity sensor. With pressure on the screen where the sensor is located it is working again.

So I can believe that changing the screw pressure might solve the problem. But what is the initial reason for this? It is not a pressure sensor!

Hello All, I've been using the proximity sensor app on my DHD for quite some time now... LOVE IT !

Proximity sensor Star N8000

Hello all,

My 1st post. Pls i dont want any lectures on chinese clones, thats what some of us can afford! i Just got a Star N8000 which is a clone of a Samsung Note. I LOVE the phone. The only problem is that when make a call lets say to check voicemail, the screen goes black, the proximity sensor flashes continuosly (small red flashes) & nothing i do brings the screen back unless the call ends from the other side or i take out the battery. I dont want to root my phone just yet. It uses a tmd2771 proximity sensor. HELP! anybody:confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davyin04:
Solution??

Found a possible Solution suggested by a supplier on Amazon;Switch off the phone - Hold power button & volume down button

simultaneously to bootinto factory testmode - use volume swith toscroll thru to 'test report' - select with the home key - scroll down to 'PS calibration' - select it then scroll to 'do calibration' let it do the calibration till it gives OK.Go back to 1st menu & reboot.

Was only partially successful forme, it may work for you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miteran:
I have the same problem with proximity sensor tmd2771 my phone is htc one x clone (E1911)

i make the calibration but its still have the problem it saws me the sensor goes up and then goes down from itself and at the calls the screen goes black and opens again from itself is there a solution for that???
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
Is this applicable for Motorola Defy or for the Chinese clone?

I tried this on my Defy running JB 4.1.2. I cannot get into the "factory testmode" even after pressing the VOL down key at boot up.

I just get a screen with an exclamation and the android bot.

Nothing happens after that.

BTW: What size of screw driver should I use to perform the trick in the video posted by the OP.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.go.home:
Thanks it helped!

Until now I was sure it was the CM11 ROM's fault cause i started suffering from it only with the new ROM.

I haven't even used the screw method yet because i don't have this kind home :) However, I temporarily solved the issue by firmly pressing the screen below the proximity sensor until it reacted.

:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil.mordia:
Distance of glass from the sensor

It is because the distance of sensor from the glass increases overtime. It is a common problem in defy. I firmly pressed the screen and applied some quick adhesive to fix the issue. But after a few months, I actualy replaced the digitizer and got it resolved permanently. I hope this helps.

Defy MB525 weird issue

Hi guys

First of all I wanna thanks all the replies I read about this sensor thing... and also start with apologying for my english, I just hope you all understand me...

I have a Defy MB525 from T-Mobile since 2012, I rooted, install CM7 and a lot of good apps, nothing fancy.

Later on I drop the cell and stared seeing blue things on screen, so I replaced it by myself, following a youtube video, works great!... Later the earpiece wasnt working anymore (common issue on defys), so I opened again and change it and also, adjusting the earpiece with aluminium paper. Because of that the housing becomes a little more loose, since 2 screw where missing and some parts of it got broken.... I though no biggies, since the phone was working correctly.

But like 3 month ago the LCD screen was getting off always in a call, I though was the sensor, but no, I download sensor test and the sensor was working good. The screen reactivate by itself later on or if I pressed the power botton like 4-6 times. But now the screen dont turn on at all! I though It was something wrong with the LCD again, so I bought another one, also with a new housing and touchscreen; do all hard reset on the phone, install everything, stock ROM, CM7, CM9, MUIU, everything but still, the phone ONLY turn the LCD if I take out the battery and restart it; after that if I put the phone on LOCK STATUS (Pressing the power button), I wont turn on again...:crying::crying::crying:... Its a LCD issue? a Digitalizer Issues? The Defy its dead? I also try the screw thing on the youtube video and no result... also pressing the screen near the sensor and STILL nothing... Please tell if it an HW or SW issue, since the phone works correctly if I do the battery thing.:confused: Allow me to say sometimes I see the M logo at power on, but sometimes no, only black screen and light on the touch buttons. The CM logo always appears.

Thanks a lot for reading and for sharing some thought about the next thing to do with the defy. :D

Greetings to all

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorAE.74:
defy+ , proximity sensor dont work, black screen when ansfer to call. Screw on back dont help.

The sensor works only when pressed in the corner of the touchpad. Perhaps it is important to the distance from the sensor to the glass. I disassembled the phone, removed the touchpad with the frame, cleaned from traces of double-sided tape and glue stuck to touchpads B7000. Now, the proximity sensor work stable.

p.s.

restored the sensor on another defi+

method is stable.

[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
My wife and I both have Charges, mine is rooted and running GummyCharged, her Charge is just running stock. After setting her phone up, we noticed a 3G icon with a "d" under it. From doing some searching online, I found a post at another forum saying that the d means "dormant." Just means that the phone isn't sending or receiving any data so the connection is dormant. That part I understand I guess, my problem with that explanation is that when she would have the 3Gd icon, we couldn't even bring up anything on the browser. So it's like the connection went to sleep and nothing we did could wake it up except a reboot.

I guess my question is, does anyone know what this actually is and if there's a way to stop it? Should I just root her phone too and throw a ROM on it because I haven't seen that icon since back in the Razr days.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
There is another thread in the general section about signal issues. Several different thoughts. You could always toggle the data connection from 4g to 3g then back or someone suggested to airplane mode then back. Its all a crazy mess but check out the other post. The other day it happened to my wifes phone and mine. She is stock and Im rooted. Actually had the problem last night I was downloading great and then all of a sudden boom.

Who cares?? Well, I do!

I have been trying to get Orbot working for ages now...

Tonight i tried cooking up a ROM in romkitchen. I used speedmod as the kernel, and - lo and behold - orbot doesn't work.

Before that I had exynos extreme 7.2 (i believe the kernel is siyah) - didn't work.

Before that, I had stock everything (with root) - WORKED FINE.

I would happily post on the developer's page of speedmod for some help to enable the netfilter owner option - however not enough posts!!!

I CAN'T WIN LOL...

Having said that, ANY help enabling the netfilter owner option without having to reflash my phone again would be GREATLY appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphazo:
Got it working!!!

Solution found in one of the 900+ pages of the Siyah kernel.

Both Siyah, DarkKnight Siyah kernels and probably many other should have the correct netfilter enabled.

Problem was not in the kernel but in a version of iptables that comes with Orbot (libc issue?). Copying over a working copy of iptables to Orbot directory did the trick and I now have transparent proxy working just fine :)

See full solution here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19179917&postcount=9265

What initially confused me was:

But Siyah developper confirmed that CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=y is already enabled since 1.7...

You can check available options in /proc/config.gz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcossack:
Thanks to both of you for your repies.

I installed droidwall from market, copied the iptables file as indicated in the post to the orbot folder, and I renamed it to 'iptables'.

Didn't work... Still using Speedmod S2 K2 3 though, so I'll give Siyah kernel a go and report back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcossack:
All working now, thanks!!!

Confirmed - swapping the iptables file from the droidwall install to the orbot folder + using siyah 2.0 = WORKING ORBOT!!!!!! :)

Thanks once again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
strange works fine for me on a rooted stock rom, guess I was lucky
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepflash:
I need a little bit of help.

Orbot is working for me if I set the proxy in the Wifi-Settings.

The Droidwall is also working.

So my guess is, my Rom Goa v 1.5 and Kernel ICS Abyss 1.3 should be working in general.

But I would love to set up the Transparent Proxying which is not working for me.

I tried the workaround by copying the Iptables-File but I get an error when activating the transparent proxying.

Should I still try another Kernel or do I need to set up anything else? As far as I know, for the transparent proxying, the proxy in the Wifi settings does not have to be enabled, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepflash:
It is working now for me.

Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution! :D

Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:

handtec [dot] co [dot] uk

It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).

It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661

Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.

I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.

If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.
