WinMo Dialer & Proximity Sensor

[ttlycnfuzd]

OK... so I have been cleaning the (expletive) out of my phone, and by disabling the HTC dialer, it also seems to disable the proximity sensor. I can verify that the sensor is enabled, but it is enabled only under registry values for HTC. (hklm/software/htc/proximity sensor) I am using S2U2, so the screen is set to turn off in a call (no issues with face dialing).

My main question is this.... does the winmo default dialer have the capabilities of utilizing the proximity sensor, or is that simply controlled via 3rd party software?

Not a major issue, but of the hardware is there... why not?

thanks
