Everyone .....i had this problem three times on my phone ...i went to the service centre ....he said the proximity sensor is dirty with dust ...he opened my phone and changed my lcd ..but the problem was not fixed and then he took my phone again changed the housing of the phone and the sensor of the phone ....then it was gone ...there is no temp solution for android .....although this is tolerable in winmo ...the issue is a hardware issue and the device needs to be sent to the service centre for repair

...problem is faulty proximity sensor and unappropriate fitting of the lcd to the chasis ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] navin2011:
but how comes this isnt a issue when u revert back to wm6.5..this only happens on the nand builds..the same phone on win6.5 functions fine so i doubt it a sensor issue... because it should also affect wm6.5 and it clearly doesnt

same problem here
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dylan Wilson:
Sounds like the proximity sensor isn't talking right, or one of the in betweens such as the driver, I can't imagine its the app though, probably something in common with peoples gsensor issues
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KristianCaso:
I have the best solution for me.

1-Before you install your new Room, open the room file, in System/lib/hw delete all sensor files, one or two usually.

Ready! no more problems whith screen OFF when you call. but dont work G-sensor.

I need a program to modify .so files to only delete proximity and ligt sensors

You are great man!I"ve just installed the modified app from your signature and my black screen issue has gone.It doesn"t turn on the speaker when i shake the phone during conversation(the screen remains black too),but does the magic:when I end the conversation the screen instantly goes on,no more freeze,this is great thank you!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xemman2:
No1 knows how to solve this problem seriously?

Well if you want you can install an app called "sanity" which forces your phone to wake up from the black screen. Its working for me i had this problem since forever now goodluck. Its in the android market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] McDreads:
I've got the same problem; even after returning to WM6.5 the screen goes black when making/answering a call, screen comes back when closing the call with the HW-button. I don't know the history of the phone, only that it has been running android and i've tried several custom/stock roms with different radio's, all the same problem. It really reduces the usability of the phone. Maybe it's the prox-sensor?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tiboo12:
just plug the head phones and the screen wont go
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] relldroid:
I had the same problem.. Did a little research and nearly everything pointed me to the proximity sensor. Winm6.5 doesnt pose a problem.. The phone hangs up with the red end button and wakes the screen, it doesnt seem to really depend on the proximity sensor like android does. I first encountered my black screen problem when I bought a new screen protector and case for my hd2.. After taking off the case I found the problem to rarely ever occur. I also seen someone say it was there screen protector. So if you have your hd2 equiped with a case or screen protector try removing them. Also I dont know how but when i removed my battery cover it also worked perfectly.

ps. I believe the proximity sensor is at the top right of the device

My screen goes to black. Can't wake up. Lights work. Only way is battery pull or soft reset (pressing yellow dot right next to micro sd slot.

Device Info :HTC HD 2 Android Build MIIUI 1.12.9

I will disable auto brightness and install sanity.

Already using android assistant. I doubt it some sensor issue as other android owners have the same issue like droid, samsung...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sai_kiranb:
i have a solution for this

install sanity app from market its a free app

go to general and check reverse proximity it will ask some thing say yes

then go to proximity in the preferences check turn on screen

thats it screen will wake up after call
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harvester:
Thank you! :)

I tried it with 5-6 calls and seems to be great
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rockrider81:
Hi

I have the same problem.

I tried "Sanity" but during the phone call I can not turn on the screen.

Do I have to close the phone and only after pressing the button I can press the left arrow button and the screen lights up again.

You can not turn on the screen during the conversation and is very uncomfortable.

How can I do?

I'm seriously thinking of reinstalling WM 6.5 :(

Sorry ... I'm an idiot :rolleyes:

I found a small goose feather stuck between the touch and proximity sensor.

Now it all works. :cool:

COUNCIL TO ALL: slightly raised the glass of the touch screen and gently clean both the glass inside the proximity sensor.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeb2001:
I don't know how this happened because my G2 is only a month old & looks like it's brand new but the screen stopped working and there are vertical lines up & down it. T-Mobile has sent a new phone on it's way, but I don't want to send the old one back before factory resetting because it still has personal info, etc. So, basically I need the keystrokes for a factory reset.

Here's what I have so far:

1. Hold "vol down + power" to turn on phone.

2. ??????

3. Factory reset

Again, I just need the keystrokes here.

Thanks so much!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
2. wait about 5-10 seconds, then press volume down twice, then press power.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeb2001:
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I won't be able to confirm. Too bad they don't have hdmi output so I could verify, but such is life.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomeSlice2010:
Same Problem

Just wanted to post that I left my brand new g2 in my coat pocket a few nights ago and when I grabbed it out a couple hours later the SAME THING HAD HAPPENED.

Lines up and down screen. I could not figure out how to reset it. I went to TMobile and exchanged it for a MT4G, which I am really liking so far.

Anyone else experiencing this problem???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeb2001:
Yes, it was very odd to not have my screen working. I didn't get it wet or traumatize it in any way.

When I called T-mobile to request a replacement, they had me pull the battery & verify a white dot underneath was still white. I suppose that's the modern day canary in the coalmine to verify I didn't break warranty terms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_grey:
i saw this problem the other day, not sure what is causing it but the phone i saw it on was a "authorized" reseller for tmo and was going out of business

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s13.240sx@hotmail.com:
Hi all,

I have a new i896 with Rogers and have no intention of using it on the Rogers network therefore really need to unlock it. SGS unlocker did not work for me and all the other ways listed do not seem to work for me... I tried to purchase a code from cellunlockingcodes.com. They said the code was available but then refunded me as they were unable to provide me with a code.

My second concern is the upload speed seems to be capped at 200 kbps even in Wifi. I guess this is a software limitation? I`ve seen some posts regarding this with the ATT Captivate and a sw update should fix it. But I do not want to stay stuck with a device that is capped at 200 kbps upload.

Anyone has any idea why my speed is limited at 200 kbps and also is there a specific post regarding the unlocking of the i896 unlocking??

Thanks. Emmanuel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
200Kb upload it more then you realize. It's a phone, not a computer. Do not expect high upload speeds especially since we don't have HSUPA.

Secondly, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831569

That should work for your unlock. Read the OP carefully and follow the directions as written. And yes I know it says Froyo in the thread title. The only thing that is different is that when it tells you to do anything with copying to the sdcard, you need to type /sdcard instead of /mnt/sdcard as the latter is for Froyo only.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s13.240sx@hotmail.com:
200 kbps is nothing my friend.

Explain to me why over the same Wifi connection using the same speed test.net app and testing at the exact same time in the exact same location I get such different results:

Xperia X10 = 1700 kbps

Captivate = 200 kbps

Tested 20 times I could not believe it!! When the upload test starts for half a second it goes up to close to 1000 kbps and then drops to 200.

I dont`t understand what HSUPA comes and changes if I`m using Wifi??? I have not even tested it over 3G as device is still locked to Rogers and I`m a Telus user.

If I dont find a solution ASAP this piece of crap is going back to ROGERS!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
200 kbps is pathetic, and not acceptable.

I'm not well versed in the i896 and what the differences are, but something is wrong.

Here's what is possible:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I tested mine when I woke up. 3.4 megabits upload on wifi. Maybe you just got a ****ty unit. Exchange it for another?

Either way, I still don't feel like 200kb is slow by any means. Low, maybe, but not slow.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
It's thoughts like this that allow Samsung to get away with what they do.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
He's the only one I've ever seen complaining about upload speeds on a phone. What the heck are you uploading from your phone where you need an excess of 200kb?

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idlewillkill:
I haven't had the same behaviour on my i896.

Wireless upload maxes out at whatever the underlying connection supports. Half a meg at home, up to 2 megs elsewhere.

And you're right, HSUPA won't have any bearing on wireless upload speeds. FWIW, I haven't even had anything below 350kbps upload out in the wild on 3G, which isn't terrible since HSUPA isn't in the house.

Assuming you're not running the X10 and Captivate literally simultaneously on a router on top of a 2 meg upload connection, I'd say you got a bum phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshvetsov:
Rogers Captivate I896 Unlocked!

I rooted my Rogers Captivate, then followed the unlock steps posted above, and can confirm that they do work. The only problem I had was the absence of "cp" utility. Not sure whether it's because it is missing in Rogers firmware or because I haven't installed BusyBox yet. I had to use "cat" with ">" redirection to copy files around. Unfortunately, that method is not for the faint of heart, the only reason I attempted it is because I admin a Linux farm at work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithyv`:
A poster in another i896 thread commented that cellunlocker.net have updated their unlock codes to include the Rogers i896 captivate.

Haven't tried it yet, but it is another unlocking possibility.

EDIT: Hmmm seems another poster indicated that the cellunlocker code didn't work.

Some posters complain that this results in editing your IMEI number. Not sure what's going on just yet
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshvetsov:
I used the method from the link above. It worked for me just fine. I didn't have to edit my IMEI, just enter the unlock and unfreeze codes of my choice into the online patching utility. The method is a bit scary though. If you can pay 10-20 bucks to get a proper code online, do it, though it sounds like it's not possible as of yet.

aclaracion....

Aer cabritooo...jajaja primero (first off all)

¿que version tienes del android? (which android version do yopu have?)

¿que compañia? (which carrier ?)

¿lo rooteaste?? (did you rooted it?)

lo que haces con el archivo build.prop es simplemente decirle al sony ericsson update (SEUS) que tienes una version diferente (el engaño) cunado sustituyes el build.prop reinicias el celular luego ejecutas el SEUS tomas la opcino de SOPORTE y este lo revisara te dira que tienes la ultima version pero igualmente lo reparas, SEUS baja el firmware nuevamente (segun el) y repara cargandote definitivamente el firmaware nuevo .

el cambio del build.prop solo es el primer paso para descargar el firmware nuevo no hace nada mas . Me entiendes?)

now in inglish :

what you do when you replace the buil.prop in your cellphone is make SEUS believe that you already have the latest version of the firmware (the scam) when you change the build.prop then you reboot the cell, initiate SEUS, go to Support (it will notice the latest version of the firmware thanks to the modified build.prop) then you repair the unit and SEUS will download and load the new firmware for you. Changes in the BUILD.PROP are the first spep to download the firmware.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
When I replaced the build.prop and reboot the phone, it detected the new firmware OTA.

I did just an additional step, after replace the file I seted back the permission to 744.
