You can tell if it's enable or disabled via a registry entry.

"HKLM", "System\State\Phone", "PSensorStatus"

If it's 0, the sensor is off. There may be other entries there that tell if it is being blocked as well. One way to find it would be to use kheb. You can use it to make a snapshot of the registry before and after blocking the proximity sensor. It then will then output the differences to a text file.

[APP] Kheb v1.1 - File system and registry discovery tool [UPDATE - 20.7.2010] - xda-developers

do you know of the other methods ? and that sorta works . I set it to one then covered the sensor . and I was hoping for one that didn't shut the screen off right away . just change the value when covered . Thanks though ! any one else have any ideas ?

[elesbb]

I guess you could say im trying to enable it . However the reg entry listed above , if set to 1 , and then covered the screen goes off right away , I want an entry that when covered the entry value lists as 0 but doesn't turn off the screen . Also the above entry goes back to zero when done making a call or after a soft reset .

haha sorry to be confusing . lol . I actually want it on when the phone is not on , like I'm not in a call . that way if my phone wakes up in my pocket , via SMS or the like , it turns off the screen right away . I was hoping to write a script so when its locked and the screen is on the script will shut the screen off again .

Did you try the kheb tool I posted? There may be a registry change when it's actually active, but I'm not sure. I'd think a simple lockscreen would work easier and just have the display timeout after it waked up. Lock Device v1.6 works well and will lock the screen whenever it goes to sleep or wakes up.

You could try the cab posted here at xda. It says it's for the HD2, but may work with the tp2. If it doesn't work, I'm sure the dev could give you some hints as to how it's done.

heh, I didn't really think of how to get the entry while the screen is off . To do that you can use ceregeditor (runs on PC). It will export all registry entries and you can compare them using ceregeditor as well. You can either export everything under HKLM or just do a registry backup (one of the buttons at the top of the program) with the screen off and then again with it on.

already have that on my computer . how do I make it export the registry ? but I actually got the program you mentioned for the hd2 to work with a mortscript to help me out lol . thanks for that program !

Was there any progress on this? I have started using the native winmo lockscreen over s2u2, cht 2.0, etc it just works way smoother with the rest of the system. But the customization of s2u2 is unsurpassed...I would love to be able to have the screen turn off after 5 seconds if locked or turn off immediately when the proximity sensor is blocked. It wastes battery to have the screen on in my pocket or on the bedside table while im asleep, then when you wake up the battery has dropped significantly.

are there any regedits or cabs available that can help with this? It used to just be s2u2 now they have the option in cht as well...does anyone know what is used to control that?
