Hi Folks,
i have a strange problem that seemed to have appeared out of nothing.
The HTC One has this nice feature that when certain apps like maps and camera are active and the screen turns off, you don't have to unlock the phone when you turn on the screen again.
This feature is causing problems with my htc stock camera app. Because if i don't close the camera app, but turn off the screen and then turn it on again the display backlight is not kicking in. I can slightly see that the phone is unlocked, but it is so dark that i cannot use it. Only a restart of the phone fixes this problem.
Anyone had this problem before?
Any idea how to solve that problem?
Is there a way to turn this feature off?
i use ViperOne 4.3 rom and Bulletproof Kernel
thank you!!
nobody any idea?

It's a normal. Maybe comming update solves it. It's only saving your battery
i have seen this one before, turn off automatic brightness, that solves it
search?

This started happening about two weeks ago. During a call when I pulled the phone away from my face in order to press the end call button, the screen did to wake up. I could not end the call. This has been happening quite regularly now. The screen simply does not turn on after or during a call. Even if the other person ends the call from his side, the screen on my phone does not start.
I was using the stable version of the official CM7 at that time so I flashed the rom again. Since that did not work, I did a clean installation of Mebitek's CM7 without restoring any backups. But I am still having the problem. I am now using the power button to end the call like a handicap person would.
I think something might be wrong with the proximity sensor or my battery. Since, I have absolutely no expertise of how the phone functions, I seek help from you guys. Please give me some suggestions.
try changing the proximity delay
Flash new rom.

Do u use a screen protector? I heard some might cause problems with proximity sensor.
Screen protector and wakelock

I used to have this same problem. The problem seems to be a combination of the screen protector/case getting in the way of the ambient light sensor and therefore not allowing the phone to accurately measure ambient light, and the phone going into some sort of sleep mode. I usually wipe my ambient light sensor off, and adjust my silicone case to allow the light to come in, but the thing that solved the problem for me permenantly was running the small app called wakelock to keep the system from going into complete standby. I am sure that this solution affects battery life, but I still get 10-12 hours between charges which is enough for me.
This thread talks about a similar problem, and this is where I got the idea to try this fix for our problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491223

No no no guys.. don't bother with reflashing and stuff, that's not the problem.. I had the same problem and I googled it for months until I've learned its a Samsung wifi hardware related problem and mostly Galaxy devices are affected. Something is wrong when phone goes in standby. It continues to work but you can't wake it and you have to reinsert battery to get it on again.
The solution is to install a tiny app called Wake Lock, it's there on market.. it keeps phone awake even when you lock screen. My phone doesn't shut off anymore and I can finally rely on it. I don't have to think anymore and check all the time if the phone is off and if I'm going to miss a call...
The alternative is to turn off wifi before you lock screen but I think that most of us need wifi on all the time to get mails and messages on time

Galaxy mini doesn't have ambient light sensor.
My mistake

I am of course mistaken. It is the proximity sensor that is malfunctioning due to the screen protector and case.

Where to locate that setting?
Hi Guyz,
My friend dropped his nexus one on the floor and from then on he is facing a weird problem. When he receives a call, when the sensor is turned on, the screen never comes back and it remains black. The only option is to pull out the battery and i suppose the drop has made proximity sensor faulty. He is not a rooted user. Is there any menthod to disable proximity sensor without rooting ? If not how can i fix it after rooting ? Any build.prop changes ?
Thanks,
karthik

hey Karthikus , I know this is not a new post, I would like to know if you solved your friends's problem, I have exactly the same, I used a couple of apps to disable the proximity sensor but still no luck, by the way I have the cyanogen mod 7 in my nexus now. the phone is a beauty, but its kinda annoying to have to remove the battery after a few calls, also I'm using a bluetooth headset, wich kinda minimizes the problem, but still not happy. please let me know , or not, I'm planning to build a disable sensors app myself in case I can't fixit. oh, and I tried all the other solutions I could find in google, like cleaning the sensors, (I dismantled the phone already) and enabling other ways to bring the screen up using other methods like trackball press or menu press. no way, still there. so please let me know. if still relevant.
thank you.
Hi, I'm having this issue using ViperOne 4.3 on HTC One m7 international. When holding the phone close to my ear when receiving or making a call, the screen doesn't "turn off" as it should. I've used a "Proximity Sensor Calibration" app which seems to show that everything works well hardware side. Any idea? Thanks.

try clean reflashing your ROM
Hi guys
Ambient display used to work for me and now seems to not ever show up.
I have a protector on the screen but it has a full cut away by the proximity sensor and so I dont think that is an issue. Also checked a sensor app and they are all working
I installed a notification app called edge colour notifications which I then removed. Issue seems to be timed with that but not sure.
Any ideas how to possibly get it working again?
Not rooted
Thanks

Since you're stock, you're kind of limited. Boot to recovery, select wipe cache, reboot.
Clearing cache didn't work but I think I figured it out.
I'm using a app called Automateit which runs phone actions off triggers. I turned it off within its settings and now ambient seems to work. Tested it twice now turning the app service on and off and seems to work. Hopefully that's sorted.
Have another strange issue as well where if I have screen lock enabled and reboot the phone, when it reaches the lock screen it goes into a weird loop on the lock screen and requires rebooting as you can't unlock. Have to reboot many times before it will let you in without this loop. Disabling the lock screen seems to stop this. Anyone else had this?
