I love this ROM, super smooth.

But i have one issue i cannot seem to figure out.

When I am on a call and my screen goes off, i cannot get it to come back on...andrizoid said something about the proximity censor needs tweaking but i cannot seem to find it...

Anyone have this issue also or know how to fix it?

no, i mentioned trying to uncover/re-cover the proximity sensore. its a sensor on your phone.

that will show you where its at. other than than, try pressing other buttons in call to see if that will wake it up. volume, trackball, send etc

I would flash a few more roms before you come to the conclusion that it is your phone that is the problem. From your posts you have only flashed 2 roms, i'd try a few more to get a better idea of how many have a problem for you and how many don't.

No ive flashed close to 8-12 different ROMs total..WW is the only one that does this to me.

Lol ok my bad, then in that case I wouldn't say its the phone. I may not know as much about roms as andrizoid does, but when more than 90% of the roms you flash have a properly working sensor, its not your phone.


When you flashed did you clear the davlik cash ? And did you try and cover / recover. Also (I think you said you weren't) are you using a headset?


Typically this happens when the prox sensor has not engaged at all. IE. Was the phone far enough from your face to have had the screen time out with out the prox sensor disabling it ?


Lastly, Have you tried pressing the trackball. Just some shots in the dark, hope it starts working for you.

Yeah i did all of that, i even reflashed it 3 times with davlik cache and data wipe...still doing it.

I think this is the answer. When i was on speaker after the screen went black i was unable to get it back, but when im talking on it normally it seems to work fine.
