[Q] Proximity Sensor issues during calls

When I'm making a call with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000, the proximity sensor seems a bit... well... unefficient.
Usually, if I need to do something with both hands, like going through papers or using a computer during a call, I put the phone between my ear and my shoulder to hold it. Usually when held like this, the phone isn't entirely pushed against my ear/cheek, so the proximity/light sensor reacts to pretty much everything. When it reacts, the screen is turned on and my cheek sometimes pushes the mute(or speaker or end call) icon, and that gets really frustrating as it happens multiple times during a call, and you can't really notice it.
So you may imagine how it's like to keep on jabberin about something and then you hear your friend going "Hello? You still there? " and then you just go "****, AGAIN!?".
I was simply wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there is a fix for it. I have been looking all over the web for an app or a mod to disable the proximity during the call, so that the screen would simply go off only if you press the screen lock button. Or so that the screen would at first use the proximity sensor and then disable itself, so that the screen would go on only if you press the lock or home key.
I have been thinking about trying to solve this problem with creating an app through the SDK, but I still kind of lack the knowledge of creating such things (with being busy studying and stuff).
So, if anyone knows an app already or has found a way to solve this problem, I'd be greatful of your advice.

I have the same problem with the proximity sensor on my Samsung Focus.
Probably there are work arounds for this issue - but IMHO the proximity sensor is too sensitive and phone call UI is not very well design (end call button should be at the bottom of the page opposed to the top where it's not and is very easy to press it accidentaly with our ears/cheeks/etc.)

Since Samsung isn't fixing this, why don't you try Sanity app from market. It has many options along with the option to switch off the screen during the call.
Give it s try.

I have this problem since th beginning, with my FOcus. Any luck fixing this? I did increase the count to 75 through the Diagnose mode. But I still constantly find my phone on hold or on speaker or on mute while on call. Please help!!!

[Q] Disable Back Button During Incoming Call

Hey guys,
Im on CM7 and alot of the time when I have an incoming call and pull the phone out of my pocket I sometimes by accident press the back capacitive button and then drop the call.
Anyhow I can disable this feature / all capacitive buttons during incoming call? It should be only like a slide button to drop the call.
Using stock CM7 ADW Launcher
Thanks

Turn your phone so that the screen faces your body. This also protects your screen much better, as it's not exposed to impact. Battery cover is cheaper than screen/screen glass.

I also have this problem, and it really annoys me.
And it's not because of the orientation of the screen: I always put it turned to the body, but my leg can also act on the capacitive screen, and keeps cancelling calls...
Please, anyone have or know of an app/settings/script to disable "back button cancels call"?

..in cm it´s possible to code this as an option, so you could ask your maintainer, or in cm forum for that.

Thanks for the help, hopefully the devs will fix this

Unable to activate screen during call

Hi all,
This has happened to me twice now and I can't figure out how to fix this.
When you make a call you have your standard options on your screen such as mute, speaker, numbers etc. However after a few minutes the screen naturally turns off and there is no way to turn it back on again without having to press the Sleep button.
The reason why this is a problem is if you want to enable/disable mute, speakerphone or you need to input a number as in my case i was on hold for a long time to a call centre.
I tried to press the back button as well as home, but both did nothing and finally the volume buttons but that didn't activate the screen. The only button you can press is the Sleep button but that will end the call.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

When you are on the phone, the screen should turn off when the phone is near your ear, pretty much immediately, and come back on soon after you take it away. Unless you are using speaker phone of course.
Perhaps a problem with your proximity sensor?

The sleep button only ends the call if you set it too.

Sounds to me like you're covering the proximity sensor, all depends on how you're going about using the apps. be a little bit more careful not to cover the sensor and you'll soon figure out how to work around it. It's fairly sensitive to be honest.

Also, if you use screen protector. That will also block proximity sensor too.
Phone thinks, like, you are holding phone on your face, soo turn off screen, to prevent miss touch any button.
Proximity sensor is at upper right position. You will see that two point. One of them is ambiance sensor for calculate screen brightness, other one is proximity sensor.

[Q] Screen during call - Very annoying

Why do I have to press and hold the power button to turn the screen on after/during a phone call? It's been driving me crazy for months. Its almost as if the proximity sensor is bad or something, how do I test it?

You have 2 options:
1. Go to Settings > Device > Call Settings > Turn off screen during calls and your screen won't go off anymore during the calls.
2. For test it -> Go to your dialer and type in *#0*#. Then click on the option for sensor and it will tell you how to test the proximity sensor.
