Re: Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call
 

How can I make the backlight stay on or dim when I am in a call? I tried having the call guard off, but the backlight still turns off. I hate having to press the power button to see the screen. Any ideas?

I would like to keep the backlight level auto adjusted and keep the backlight on only when I am on a call.

Thanks

Well, the TP only has a light sensor, not a proximity sensor. That would be the first problem I could think of using the light sensor to turn off and on the phone b/c in very lighted or very dark situations, It would be hard to detect your face just using light.

works for me with default dialer, I made some sort of reg edit, could be pocket shield, could be a lot of things, I really modded the hell out of my device, not intending tests.

maybe this has been said and this apears to be an old thread. i hear the tp2 does it but with a proximity sensor of some kind. i use s2u2 on my tp and mogul and set "blank screen on talk" you can get this program free and use one or more features of it. (many cool features for just a locker.)

Actually, won't doing that drain the battery faster? It'll have to check quite often(2-5 secs) to detect that...
