Screen shutting off during calls not functioning after MightyRom patch

Hi there,

I believe the stock HTC TP2 rom would turn off the screen whenever you put your ears against the phone. THe feature seems to be gone on my mightrom patched phone. Is there anyway to turn it back on?

Thanks

That is called the proximity sensor.
Mine works and always has so I'm not sure where you would turn it on or off. Maybe in the registry but I would think MightyRom would still have it enabled. Maybe you should try reflashing that rom or another rom.

did it 4 times already. It definitely doesn't work on both my phone and wife's

It should work as long as you are using an HTC PhoneCanvas (unless mike left out some dependencies, which would mean you could just flash a better ROM). You can find Psensorstatus and change it to 1 in the registry (see below). The proximity sensor will then be on all of the time though and it resets to 0 every soft reset. When you build the ROM right or use a stock ROM, it changes to 1 during a phone call and shuts off when you hang up.

HKLM\System\State\Phone
PSensorStatus=1

I also wrote a mortscript to enable it for non-htc phonecanvas's, but the mortscript runs all the time. I'm not sure what effects it would have on battery life or if it would just be less of a drain to leave the psensor on all of the time. I stopped using it when I couldn't find a way to get it to only activate during a phone call and shut off when the call ended. I'm sure it could be done if one knew how to write a program, but I don't think mortscript can do it. If you use the mortscript, you need to make sure you have mortscript installed first.

I changed it to 1, but it still doesn't seem to work. Phone's screen won't turn off even with it at 1. Any idea?

Thanks

Have you tried flashing back to OEM rom to confirm that its MightyRom that's causing this?

sounds like its time to flash to the 6.1 stock rom to see if its hardware problem.
