Re: Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call
ok, so what your saying is this:
-with the HTC Dialer, it will work properly?? If this is correct, please explain to the lay perosn whom knows nothing at all about anything to do with this phone, and is on sprint running the stock OEM rom how to make this work. Thanks |

Re: Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call
Where is this "Enable Fast Dormant Display" key?
EDIT: Nevermind I found it: It didn't work though. I didn't even have the key there but putting it there and soft-resetting still didn't work. Last edited by jaggrey; 02-03-2009 at 11:51 AM. |

Re: Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call
It's actually very annoying that this DOESNT work on my stock sprint Touch Pro properly!! It's actually pretty pathctic that we are forced as a community to fix the screw-ups of our providers. It's pretty sad!
Can't they just let the manufacturer of the phone make the software and hardware and just spend more time on working on their network making it more faster and reliable? That would make too much sense.. |

Re: Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call
So the tech at my Sprint store got this email back from HTC:

It is the difference between one "tick" > on the brightness slider.

This process usually takes 2-3 weeks to complete > depending on the mail's speed. Sounds like a load of bull to me. And who can be without their phone for 3 weeks!

Re: Use light sensor to turn screen off while on call
I'm also on the sprint rom and really wish it would be nice to have this feature. even if the screen turned off on a timer it would be nicer than nothing. i've had my check dial other numbers while on the phone...

It Works!!!!!
Did a little digging and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991 It's a neat little appy that comes with several user-definable settings. I have the stock Sprint ROM on my Touch Pro using the TFLO3D interface (customised). I installed the cab, did a soft reset, placed a call and WHAM, it worked! I put the phone up to my face and the whole screen went black. As soon as I moved the phone away from my face, it lit back up automatically! One of the settings I UNchecked was "ignore the light sensor". Apparently this program doesn't really depend on the light sensor but it does use it. Sweetness! I've been scratching my head at this problem ever since I got my phone!=D> Hope it works for you folks who need it! IF THIS HELPED YOU IN ANY WAY, CLICK "THANKS" AND THEN GIVE A LITTLE DONATION TO THE APP PROGRAMMER (THERE IS A DONATION BUTTON IN THE PAGE LINKED ABOVE)
