I am not sure if this has been touched on or not but did you know there was a proximity sensor in the android market, that will lock your screen during a phone call when held to your ear? I just recently learned this and figured I'd pass it along to those who were like me...very unaware.

It's call "Proximity Sensor" in the Android market...chk it out!!

How is it working on your unit so far. I was tempted to use it last week , but it had alot of bad reviews. Was there a recent update ?

Trying it now. I never trust the market reviews so many great apps get bad reviews, I almost wish they include the age of the of the people that are submitting them...

Do I have to have the "light sensitive brightness sensor" turned on? This app seems to automatically lock the screen no matter what.

WOrks great for me I am using the Sprint Hero...no I don't think you have to turn the light sensitive brightness off, but i did find that if you hit test first it will lock the screen automatically, so i just uninstalled and reinstalled clicked "Enable" NOT TEST and now it works great! got 3 phone calls today screened locked for all of them.

Oh also hide/ignore it from your taskmanagers...
