Wrong forum try the sprint one.

 

???

 

I think it WAS in the wrong forum and got moved here by the Mod.
Just a guess!

 

Proximity Sensor is working fine for me so far, try removing it the installing it again

 

What's the app called

 

Turns the light sensor into a ghetto make-shift proximity sensor, because it'll be reading really low when it's on your face.

 

i think im going to install this app for kicks but i sense trouble when you're in a dark room and want to try to use ur phone. haha. or does it only activate when you're in a call?

 

Honestly, if it weren't for the Proximity Sensor app, I would've returned my Hero long ago. How they could sell a phone that accidentally responds to your face pressing the screen while you're on a call blows my mind. It's a serious problem with the Hero that almost NONE of the early reviewers bothered to mention....yet a lot of people experienced it.

 

i use the automatic feature anyways...i quite like auto dimming/brightness.

i dont have an issue without a proximity sensor. but i can see how one could have many issues (ie. holding phone between head and shoulder, positioning phone screen against face etc.).

too bad this app doesnt actually turn off the screen to save power. does it eventually turn off?

 

I just pull down the notification bar when on a call so I don't accidentally hang up/hit mute

 

I had issues with hanging up on people when I had 1.5. Sometimes the Proximity Sensor helped, other times it didn't.
I haven't put it back on my phone since the 2.1 update bec the screen seems to lock or go to sleep when I'm on a call much better now than before.
