Proximity sensor question.

---

Is it possible to utilize the proximity sensor so when you put the phone inside a case, or in your pocket, the screen would turn off?

I'm used to my blackberry that has a magnet that knows when its in the holster, and shuts off.

Sometimes when in my pocket the phone may turn on, and I would think if the proximity sensor is used, it would stay off because its in your pocket...

Nobody knows?

Hi, just check http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/

Not sure if HTCs leave the proximity sensor polling active while phone is off, maybe the reason is battery drain.
Blackberry magnetics work just the way the stylus work for the Diamond and later HTC models. Magnetism is a healthier approach for this because is not processor dependant. Proximity and light sensors do require CPU processing to work (at least on current HTCs hardware design)

Simple. I just press the power button to turn it off before sliding it into the case.

From my understanding, the iPhone proximity sensor activates if the phone is locked and turns on during message notification. This way the screen shuts off if it's in a case or pocket as not to drain battery life. I with WinMo did that or at least S2U2 would do that.

I have another little problem. When my Tilt 2 is paired with a Bluetooth headset and I decide to take the call at the handset the proximity sensor is not activated.

Anyone else notice this?
