Help proximity sensor

bravo1975

Newbie
When i make or recieve calls iv noticed tht if my ear isnt in the exact correct position the screen stays on. Is there a way of adjusting the sensor to make it more sensitive? Thks
 
There is indeed - I have heard that others have used an app... just having a quick look for you and will try put a link in!
 
Here are a couple for you to try:

Screen Off

Proximity Screen Off

I know some who use the second one and have said that it has worked for them... I am unsure if these are root only apps, but at least there's a few that you can try!

Hope this helps you!!
 
I have just fixed my proximity sensor issue. I watched the 'how to dissasemble HTC Desire HD' video on youtube and once I had the case off I could see the problem! The whole of the area under the speaker grill was absolutly covered in dust and dirt! I'm suprised I could still hear anything through the speaker let alone the proximity sensor working! I carefully cleaned the whole area and while I was there I removed, cleaned and re-attached the speaker too. Put it back together and problem solved!
