Don't tell them that it is an HD2.

You can lie and say you have an HD7. The half-truth method of saying that you have just got an HTC Windows Phone 7 phone and need an activation code - which is true, it is an HTC phone and is running WP7.

Is this possible? To change the LG Optimus One's Contacts/Call log to look like htc wildfire ?
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
Hello guys,

at first i want to excuse for my language mistakes, it's not my native language.

I have a problem with my phone. If I make a phone call, the proximity sensor deactivates the screen, like it should be, but the screen won't wake up, after I push the phone away from my ear. It takes a long time, until I can see something again on the screen. I don't want to create a new thread where I am crying about this issue, I want to solve this problem.

I also searched at many other developer-forums and i noticed, that this happens to many people around there and everybody is crying about it.

Everybody who can provide informations, that can help to solve this problem is invited to share his experiences with us.

The HD2 is a very beautiful mobile phone, but this problem is really annoying.

I made a lot of tests to find the reason of this problem.

Things, that I did without getting clear results:

1. Dirty sensor

It could be possible, that the sensor or the glass plate is dirty inside and because of this, the sensor can't recognize it properly.

2. Light sensor

It was random, that I expected that this issue also depends on the light sensor. I made a call and the screen goes off, like every time. Now i take the flashlight and light it in the area of the proximity and light sensor. Instantly the screen went on and displayed everything, but if I move the flashlight away again, it goes off. and that happens as long as you make the call. If you end the call the screen stays off like it's everytime the case. If I move the flashlight now in front of the sensor area, the screen goes on and it stays on.

EDIT: It's not everytime working.

The following things I did, but brought no solution:

1. Flashing everything new

I did a task29, flashed some different radio roms, different HSPL's and also many different ROM's. Windows Mobile and ALSO Android. Nothing helps.

2. Blowing inside the case

I also read that it help if I blow inside the case near the area of the sensors. I don't know if it really helps, but it's fur sure not the reason.

3. Display protector

In my case it's not the reason, because I don't use a protector and never used one.

Questions, that I have now:

1. Proximity sensor

Everybody says the HTC HD2 has a proximity sensor, but I don't know if this is sure. Maybe the phone has only a light sensor, which works like a proximity sensor, like other newer phone's like the HTC Wildfire.

2. Production error

Could it be a failure from the factory? Encoutered anybody this problem only after some time? Or maybe anyone who can say that the problem was solved by itself?

Please don't answer like: use the forum search or something like this.

I searched a lot and not only in this forum.

Best regards Gerhard Silvio
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
Further test confirmed, what I said. The problem must be the light sensor. After a call and the phone don't turn on, light a fire in front of the phone or light with a flashlight to the sensors. it goes on immediately!

Strange..

EDIT:

I made a video to show what I mean. Excuse me for my bad english ^.^

[YOUTUBE]49-LdNvM4Pw[/YOUTUBE]

Now you developers outside are asked how to fix it...

Open the phone and clean? Or maybe it's not so easy?

Best regards
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
There is no possibility to fix this issue, because the light sensor is not programmable (as we know now, the HD2 has no proximity sensor). The sensor decides to turn the screen off when it gets dark, so i took some black nail polish and put it under the glass surface in front of the sensor. The screen now don't turn off and automatic light won't work also, but i can compensate these problems better than the call issue.

And without doing this, you will never be able to use WP7 right, because you can only end a call if you push the on-screen button, and this button won't appear. So you must wait until the other side ends the call, and if this don't happen you can't use your phone again without remove and reinserting the battery ^^

I hope I could help you by providing these informations.

Thread can be closed, there's nothing more to say.
[HD2 General] iamrv:
The problem is isnst a problem 'cos you burned the proximity sensor with that heat.
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
What are you talking?

That has nothing to do with any heat (if you mean the lighter). It was 3cm or more, can't follow your answer, cause its unlogical. It also worked with a normal light or a laser or anything else.
[HD2 General] navin2011:
the problem u have ( i have too) only happens in nand builds, i dont have this issue with Duttys_2.5_5.21916.5.0.95_3.14_HD2_ML_Family_ROM_(V12)_WWE installed.. the phone act normal completely.

so i have to say this to me is a nand build issue, why others on htc hd2 arent not having this problem is what confuses me:(
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
In my case, it was not depending of what build or os i use. It happened in wm6.5, sd android, nand android and also in wp7. I caused by the hardware, and if i can't repair it, i have to destroy or deactivate it. with software you can't deactivate the sensor so i coloured the sensor black, that he won't notice anything anymore and the problem is solved. i have no problem with the screen active, while calling.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Firstly, the HD2 DOES have a proximity sensor and it works flawlessly in WM6.5. I know this was 100% fact for me, as I was very impressed at how well it worked. There are 2 sensors, clearly visible, next to the earpiece. One is a light sensor, as you know, and the other is a proximity sensor. This is not an opinion - it's a fact. I just wanted that to be very clear.

Also, I don't have this problem in Android, either SD builds (I don't use any more), or NAND builds (my daily driver). I will admit that there is a delay of a couple of seconds when I take the phone away from my ear, before the screen comes on, but I know that's just down to the fact that I'm using ported software.

You say that in your case this failed to work in both WM6.5 and Android. You've got a dodgy proximity sensor then. This is clearly a hardware failure.
[HD2 General] Jonny4911:
The HD2 DOES have a proximity sensor but this fault does occur on some android builds

If it occurs for you everywhere, then u simply have a faulty proximity sensor, and i know this because i too have used wm.5, andoird nand and sd, and WP7

and the proximity sensor works fine on all but some (older) android builds

if the HD2 didn't have a proximity sensor there wouldn't be a second hole, next to the light sensor.
[HD2 General] yogya:
Thanks for your opinion, but my proximity sensor works flawlessly in windows mobile 6.5.3 but under superram darkstone build I suffer rge same problem. Most of the times can be fixed touching the write arrow button...

Maybe can help...
[HD2 General] jackykwan:
My HD2 tmobile also has this proximity sensor problem. I use my finger to cover the sensors (light, proximity) during the call. The screen will off. But the screen cannot back to on when I moved out the sensor cover. I tried to use the torch to shine the sensor but no response.

If HD2 connected to power supply or PC USB for battery charging. The screen can switch on. I think this charging method for sensor disabled.
[HD2 General] rgr81:
you already thought about a Hardware Problem and let HTC fix it?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Thanks, but that's clearly just an issue with the Android build you're using. Try another one and see if it's better.
[HD2 General] jackykwan:
I tested my HD2 again. I restored WM6.5 to my HD2 tmobile. The proximity sensor was no problem. the screen can turn off when my face close to screen and my face is far to screen, the screen will turn on.

I also tested the lighting sensor. I put my HD2 under the strong sunshine, screen will light strongly.

If I re-installed the android rom NAND. This problem will be issue. I tried more than two ROMs. The result is same.

Sorry, maybe my english is not good.
[HD2 General] yogya:
Thanks for the info...

If I change my build I el let it know here... For the moment, I can survive with this...

;)
[HD2 General] navin2011:
then it can only be an issue with the nand builds unless the nand builds have use of an additional sensor not used in wm6.5..
[HD2 General] datas0ft:
Hi.

Readed all this thread. Also one other same situation, described on HD2 Android Q&A and General forum on thread "[Q] screen goes off if I make a phone call".

I can confirm that this issue goes active with Android NAND builds. Not matter, is it Froyo or Gingerbread. I tested lot different roms. Best results i got on PureGingerbread gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.3 and with SetCPU on conservative. On somewhere proposed smartass didnt work.

Actually i dont remember this same bug, when i runned Android at SD.

Now i placed back stock win rom and all works perfect. This shows that my hardware works correctly. But i dont like winmo (also winphone 7 is unripe and i dont like it too). I want use Android and not at SD. Must i go to change phone and loose todays best smartphone (my opinion)?

I dont know fundamental of Android and dont have time to learn it too (so many works and other things todo). But maybe some rom or kernel chief can handle this and overlook things that operate with Proximity or Light sensor.

I dont have so many posts yet that post this to my preferred rom thread. I dont want go spam over forum to get post count bigger. this was reason why i posted my opinions here.

Finally sorry about my poor enlish.
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
I heard so much meanings where the reason could be and i have to end up my whole life without solving this problem.

in my case it's not os-dependent.

i never needed my screen to turn off while talking, the hd2 is very big and with android there's nearly no chance to push any button and with wp7 the same, so why i should be angry about this problem. my sensor won't recognize anything anymore, that's enough for me ^^
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951858

This sounds very interesting. The proximity sensor of the Desire HD of most people was not correctly calibrated so it won't work good and they got the same issues like we do with our beloved HD2. Check out the thread and the app. I'm not sure if it works, but you can give it a try. I'm not able to use it, because i deactivated my sensor in a hardware-way xD !
[HD2 General] bubar:
Hello

I have this problem since 2 days

And i test it

now my phone not turn off during a call. screen stay on.
[HD2 General] Sniper33:
my case. finaly i found solution for me http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11465057&postcount=25

i think it was a dirty sensor or bad contact.. but light sensor work correct but approx - didn't

the same. before this bug i have worked sensor under w6.5. after reflash 6.5 nor wp7 - the sensor didn't work.

after i've try to task29 and reflash winmo 3.14WWE with last radio and back to 1.66 hardSPL 2.08 (magldr + NAND android) i notice that sensor turn off the screen when i put my finger over the sensor but don't light up after that. only after call end or when i put usb charger or flash with my flashlight.

after read it, i've checked out. i think HD2 DOES a prox sensor

for test i use this program http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951858 - then you can clearly see how work your prox sensor (NEAR - FAR)

if i point light source (red laser) on left part of a sensor (light sensor) - the screen was more brite. right part of a sensor - no change.

if i put my finger above sensors (~3cm) - screen goes off but amount of light is enough - this is not a light sensor.

in my case, the sensor work again after i run this program and see that value shows - NEAR, it was block with something.. i've try to shake and knocking the case near to sensors (on back side of a phone) and it work - the sensor work again.

anyway, if your sensors doesn't work well - you can try this app for android http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876945

ps.(sorry for my bad english)
[HD2 General] adempozhari:
did you find any solution?

i am using CM7 hyperdroid and my screen wont turn on after the call..
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
Sorry I found no solution and at least my display broke, so i sold my phone, i saw you have also a new one,...

it seems like a non-solution problem... what shalls...
[HD2 General] adempozhari:
:)

i have the same story... i broke my screen and bought a digitizer from ebay. it was a very poor quality and stopped working after a week. than i opened it by myself and broke a motherboard part.

regarding the proximity sensor it was not working from dust. after cleaning it was Ok.

by the way i miss my HD2... its parameters were low but i could play with it all the time... from WM to WP7 and android..and Ubuntu... too bad i dont have it anymore. :o
[HD2 General] nikkiddl:
May this Help You

I got a solution.

You can disable Proximity Sensor and use your phone as normal.

Install this rom Hstr-SGSII v 1.zip.

Flash.cfg

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 5M

system ya 220M

cache ya 5M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

This rom is created by hstr and the updated rom version is here. But for me this version is stable which i post here:p:p:p.

After installation go to the

Setting -----> Programs-------> Call Settings------> Answer Setting-------> Enable proximity sensor----> OFF

And

Setting -----> Personal---->Display settings----->Screen Timrout------> 30s

Done.

Your Phone will work normal without Proximity sensor

I try to install DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator 1.6 but does not get any sucess:confused:. I think it is for HTC HD Desire not for HD2. If anyone know how to install it in HD2 please post here.
[HD2 General] Axel85:
Hi,i had problems with proximity and light sensor too...i changed my lcd+digitizer and started having problems.Then surfing the internet i ve found the solution

I ve lost the smal lense over the light and proximity sensor.It s really hard to find one,i ve bought two broken hd2 and,all two didn t came with this lense.Then an xda user helped me,he sell me 2 pieces.now everything is working like was meant to be.You can see this lense in this picture rounded in blue.

[HD2 General] d3v123:
I'm using the same ROM, I've downloaded source code for screen recalibrator for Desire HD. This program is searching for these two files in system directories:

static final String ps_kadc = "/sys/devices/virtual/optical_sensors/proximity/ps_kadc";

static final String ps_polling_ignore = "/sys/devices/virtual/optical_sensors/proximity/ps_polling_ignore";

Since these two files in HD2 roms don't exist, application exits. I've looked into this in sys folders and found nothing similar in virtual devices. I suspect that these settings can't be tweaked around on HD2. Or maybe yes, I'm no chef (just Android app developer) and I don't know much about android drivers. If anybody knows which files should be edited and how (or if its even possible), I'll be happy to implement it as app solution by extending DHD-Proxyimity app.

I m pretty sure someone have the same problem of me,without the lenses I writed about,light and proximity sensor doesn t work att all
[HD2 General] magiC_PT:
Hello,

sShort time. what better way to solve this?

Using a dedicated ROM disabling the sensor? Open and clean or put a new digitizer?

thanks for help!

:confused:
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
So hello again!

I read all the posts and this problem seems very trivial.

As I said before I samaged the sensor on my old HD2, but after it I had the same problem again, let me explain...

After I sold my damaged HD2, I bought a Desire HD, which worked like a charm, ecerything fine, also procimity sensor... The phone wasn't new, it was second hand, the housing of the phone was as a good condition, but this brown-grey color was partially gone, so i decided to sand the housing. Before this procedure it worked, after at also... but i did this again... and after some time, the proximity sensor stopped working... so I tried another thing.

i had no warranty on my phone, and i'm not a noob, so what can i loose if I open the phone. I opened it and there was veeeeeeery much dirt inside, most because of the sanding. so i cleaned it and after all cleaning the proximity sensor worked again, and the small speaker for calling was also louder...

Don't be afraid about opening your device, its hard to damage anything as long as you love your phone and be careful :> !
[HD2 General] jusutus:
I'm also having troubles with my customer's phone. It's an HD2 with some WP7 ROM. The display assembly AND the main flex (with the proximity sensor) has been changed.

When looking through a camera, the proximity sensor appears to be sending IR beams all the time, not just during a call. Is this normal? When making a call, the display goes black and doesn't turn on without the other person ending the call or removing the battery.

Is there a chance that the ROM is causing the problem?
[HD2 General] adchesney:
I have a problem with my HD2 proximity/light sensor – the light sensor is damaged (apparently two resistors broken). Thus when I use the phone to make call the screen goes off and I can’t get the keyboard on screen again – hence no way of using automated phone systems or even retrieving my voicemail.

I have recently flashed from Wm.6.5 to ICS 4.01 – and this works great but does not fix the proximity/light sensor problem.

Is there anything to fix the problem – I don’t mind the phone being on during a call (I know battery life will be affected), but at least I can continue to use this great phone. I'm happy to purchase a fix...just let me know.

[HD2 General] charlyd:
For me exactly the same tested a lot of WP7.x roms all a NO show... they went black and never got back. at the end i diceded to restore to a WP6.5 rom. and all works perfect again.. ...SO IT IS THE ROM'S W.P7.X rom's why not disable the proximity sensor in those builds... or what ever causes the screen goes black...i like the wp7.8 rom but not in this way.. ...grrrr#$%^^#$^&@
[HD2 General] charlyd:
IT COULD NOT BE A PRODUCTION ERROR... because restoring wp6.5 the Phone is working like a charm again and no black screen on calling..??????????

so if you know the people from the rom...please tell them to disabled the proximity feature, or look inside the wp6.5 rom for the right driver or... make it work.. !!!

i think lots of people trough ther Phone in the drawer after flashing and reading articles like this, they think there Phone is broken....and it is not.!!

According to various Bada blogs bada 1.2 will be officially available through Kies in the next couple of days to a week, in certian areas it is already available. Expect unlocked Wave I devices to get it first.

On a side note: Samsung should be ashamed of themselves in the handling of this update as it brings needed fixes for bugs that are largely unacceptable on such a high end phone.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sabianadmin:
Reports are coming in that its available in various European countries. If you have updated to 1.2 via a leaked firmware build then you will need to get a copy of the official build of 1.2 and flash it that way (personally still waiting on that my self)

Hey @Sabianadmin u show us how did u do that?In Dubai still we'r waiting :-),By the way android porting,has it future?If yes Big RESPECT :-) .
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sabianadmin:
the other people aside from Tom seem to be making progress, so yes i can see them doing at least something.

Pretty simple: http://www.youtube.com/user/HMundane#p/u/17/9XfMn89vOmo

Follow that guide.

You will need: Multiloader, the 1.2 xxjl2 firmware, to back up your files and patience :-)

Check my resources thread for all the above.

That looks dubious... I mean... who would use Azur and Asmar in that, they look to be um.... in a position that could imply several things...

Are these real....??

Forgive my cyncism, but... that does not mean bada 2, that's the point I was making... be careful.... that was like on badaforums, when someone leaked a picture of a Wave with a android screen on it, someone has too much time to photoshop it and the whole forum went up in arms over it... that was in the Summer last year (2010)... so be careful and not to join the bandwagon....

Samsung has a lot of sorting out to do in respect of the "Open Letter to Samsung" which I wrote about last year.... So I take all this with a pinch of salt.... and not get too excited...
