wouldnt that just make it duller, but not turn it off... its just so that when its dark it uses less battery life since it doesnt have to be as bright as it is during the day cause of the contrast

any updates?

Mine works....well it dims the back light when I'm on a call during the daytime, turns it off when on a call at night. I'm using the stock sprint rom with the windows dialer skin(I know ugly, but faster). No hacks just works....didn't notice it when I had the HTC skin on there, but I wasn't paying attention until I read this thread.

I was under the impression that the light sensor is susposed to turn off the screen when you're on a call so your cheeks don't end the call accidentally. This would happen to me with my mogul, and with the larger end call button on the TP I would imagine it would be much worse. This would be a real handy cool feature if I could get it to work...

Well i have a Sprint Touch Pro and my screen turns off when i'm in a call. It has worked with the last couple of custom roms i've used, i even think it worked with the stock rom but it's been so long i can't remember lol. First i had Juggalo's but now i'm with Dreams rom and it works no problem.

^^^ To the ppl that are saying theres work, i dont think thats the light sensor at work, thats a timer that turns the phone off when on call after a few seconds, (probaly a minute) i could be wrong, but i dont think that its the sensor.

there is a difference between what you guys think is the light sensor and what is actually happening.

Sprint roms will turn off within say 3 seconds, no matter where the phone is, if the phone is dialing and still connected, try turning the phone on, it will shutoff within another three or so seconds

Verizon rom would actually use the light sensor and if the light sensor sensed light it would turn on and stay on, otherwise it would stay off.

No there is a registry value that is EnableFastDormantDisplay or something like that, which is the 3 second value. If you disable that, the phone will not turn off in 3 seconds, but in say 10 seconds with the Sleep value in the registry.

I personally use the htc phone key blocker, disabled the fast dormant display and let it sleep, just incase i need to press a key or something.

I want the opposite to happen, when i am in a call the screen turns off, i have pull the phone away from my face and hit the power button. Really annoying, i just want it to stay on or dim.
