there is a difference between what you guys think is the light sensor and what is actually happening.

Sprint roms will turn off within say 3 seconds, no matter where the phone is, if the phone is dialing and still connected, try turning the phone on, it will shutoff within another three or so seconds

Verizon rom would actually use the light sensor and if the light sensor sensed light it would turn on and stay on, otherwise it would stay off.

No there is a registry value that is EnableFastDormantDisplay or something like that, which is the 3 second value. If you disable that, the phone will not turn off in 3 seconds, but in say 10 seconds with the Sleep value in the registry.

I personally use the htc phone key blocker, disabled the fast dormant display and let it sleep, just incase i need to press a key or something.
