Just upgraded my LG P990 ( Optimus 2 X ) from Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Everything is fine and same as before.
However the performance is much faster, especially when downloading using Wifi, MMS, sending files by BT and file transfer of photos etc.
To save the ON/OFF button, I have been trying to make the phone screen ON using the proximity sensor. But no success, before and after the upgrade.
( The senor works fine when tested with a sensor test application.)
I tried a few applications, but they do not work, although on the HTC desire
they work just fine. I can wake up the phone with a hand wave over the
prox sensor on the HTC desire.
Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks.
No suggestion unfortunately.
But I'm not sure if you really want the sensor to be switched on all the time - this will consume more battery in standby.
Why not unlock with a shake? That would be cool.

That would just mean the accelerometer would have to be on all the time. Wastes battery.

+1 on this
But i could be happy just with unlock phone with volume keys =(

rafpigna 1.7 OC includes the calibration fix, flashable via CWR here.
To calibrate the g sensor, put it face down just over the edge of a table so you can still press the calibrate and ok button.
Then it will be good.
Thank you very much because its works

You can actually use any of the rafpigna kernels. You then don´t need to place you hd2 face down.
Hello all,
I tried to look and did not see a similar question.
Yes, there is no ambient light sensor adjustment in the software, but clearly there is a sensor hardware on the front. There is the camera, there is the proximity sensor and there is the ambient sensor, just like bigger S3.
My guess is it is just not embedded in the software, because of laziness or what, I am not sure. My older phone had the same issue (Xperia Ray) there was indeed a light sensor but it wasn't effective. Yet there was many ways to recover the functionality at XDA forums.
Any way to revive it?
The front camera can be used as a light sensor. You need to install Lux Auto Brightness. Works like a charm for me. Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282025

Thanks for the advice, it is a nice solution but this makes me ask how much damage to battery stamina is given? Power consumption must be way higher than ambient sensor.
Biggest problem is that THERE IS A SENSOR, so using a camera is only a ad-hoc solution while the sensor is already there
Thanks anyway,

It seems logical to me too that a camera will use more power than a light sensor. But I haven't done any measuring to get that confirmed. I don't think the difference is dramatic though. Anyway the advantage of having auto-brightness on my device outweighs the extra battery drain for me.
So there is a sensor, but as long as no one is able to make use of it I'm glad I have this as a workaround. Please let me know when you've managed to get the sensor activated. :victory:

It actually is very accurate and does not add any obvious battery drain (it doesn't appear on the Battery Usage screen) - you may optimize it further by triggering it with Tasker only when you unlock your phone, and otherwise disabling it when the screen turns off.
Hello guys ...sorry if a similar question was already asked.
I have a problem with my phone. When i want to make a phone call the screen goes off. At first I thought that the phone switched itself off, but later I noticed that the credit was gone...:/ I happens even after the factory reset. It also happens with another dialer from google play...however, people can still call me and there is no problem...no problems with sms either.
I have 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Please help
I think that's normal. There's a sensor which causes this.

so its not software problem? is it worth to replace it? how much may it cost?
i also checked another thing...its not only the screen there's no signal and a phone call is not made...:/
Every phone has this sensor. The intention is that you don't touch any button on your screen during the phone call.
You can try to reflash the stock rom.

I reflashed it...the problam's still there...but my friend call me back i called him but i didn't here any signal and the screen went off...:/
Lars which sensor did You mean? Proximity sensor? Would that cause the phone to go silent (no dial signal)?

I run the proximity sensor test using *#*#0588#*#* and looks like it's broken...the screen is blue and displays "proximity x 1" covering the sensor has no effect, looks like the sensor is activated all the time...
I noticed some dust, maybe moisture in there so i think it will be a good idea to take the phone apart and clean the sensor...

I feel like a crazy person answering my own posts...
I took it apart, cleaned it, but the problem's still there. I bought a new assembly jack-speaker-proximity sensor on ebay for 7 euro...hope it will work after replacing this part...
The way it's all together explains why there was no dial signal.
When I replace the part i will let You know Thanks for Your help
No problem.

Hello Replaced the part, tested, everything working beautifully Sweet I love this phone :cyclops:
Hi devs!
Since i have this phone iam searching the function for double-tap to wake-up feature.
Esp, cause the previous models had this feature.
I've been through a few launchers and a few apps, but it seems with a fingerprint-sensor this feature has become unavailable?
Any people here managed to double-tap to wake-up their device?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to say but that incredibly useful feature is missing from the XZ1c. It's not just a software thing, I believe it's missing at a hardware level. So either the screen is different or the kernel doesn't support it.
Wave up is a way of opening and closing the screen and has had some good reviews from XDA members.
Thanks for your reply.
Let's see if i can get used to this and finetune it a little.

I'm giving a shot myself with this app... It seems working great... Only doubt of course is the battery draining... Let's see after a few days of testing...
P. S. So Wave Up is for the waving hands thing... What about double tap to wake?

Double tap to wake likely needs lower level support that isn't possible with a mere app.
BTW, I've been using the Wave Up app for months, did not notice any battery drain.
I personally love the wake screen after removing from pocket feature, it works like a charm and so handy to have. I now wonder how I lived for so long without it.
Also, you don't need to actually wave your whole hand, just flick a finger 2 or 3 times over the sensor area and boom. Although I'd still prefer DTTW, it's a great compromise.

Yeah, I saw WaveUp recommended on XDA too and used it after trying and disliking Gravity Screen. It's been fantastic, and I actually don't notice a lot of battery drain from it either. I sometimes end up double-tapping the proximity sensor. That generally works pretty well. Sometimes even better than waving.
Just a little update about WaveUp.
Definitely, a must have for XZ1 Compact owners. ?????????????????. After a few days of testing I can confirm it has almost zero impact to battery (I can't notice any difference, in fact it doesnt even shown on Setting's Battery usage) but once u use it... U can't stay without it anymore!
I really i don't understand why Sony didn't include this functionality out of the box...
I am using Gravity Screen to wake my phone using the proximity sensor, but I noticed it keeps the sensor ON all the time even when the phone is locked. I think this is what WaveUp do as well. I'm kind of concerned with the sensor being awake all the time that it might affect the lifespan of the sensor and get damaged fast. I hope SONY put back that double tap to wake.
Hello, is there any app that turn on display when new notification is arriving?
WaveUp is really good!
Thanks to everybody for the suggestion!

Might be a late reply, but an app called Glimpse Notifications does exactly what you want.
Update: WaveUp works, but can be annoying when cleaning the screen.

They do it on purpose, they always take something away and then put it back in the next model. But the next model will miss a different detail, and so on ...
hi, does the proximity sensor work when you are NOT in a call ?
for example samsung decided to disable it unless you are IN a call, probably to avoid the blinking you can see in pixel 5.
thanks

Hi, I had exactly the same issue on my S10e. I am happy to report that the proximity sensor seems to be working outside the calling app! I have tried DevCheck and it reacts to my hand wave.
thank you very much!
I have also tried a push ups app and it works as intended. I don't have to actually touch the screen with my nose anymore to get a count. It is enough to be 1-2 cm near the phone. So, no fat spots on screen!
