I don't know about the Proximity Sensor.. But you can Turn OFF Ambient Light sensor.. In Sence, go to Settings tab->Sound & Display.. Here in Bottom you will get Backlight setting, tap on it.. Then you will see the first Option "Automatically adjust Backlight".. Just uncheck it.. Your Light sensor will be disabled..
I don't know if there any other way..

This didn't work, It merely turns off the backlight adjuster for when you haven;t used your phone in x minutes.

I am currently looking through the registry on the HDMini to try and find the entry...

Has anyone managed to find the registry entry already?

Cheers

So I installed CHT and the CHTeditor (although it is not written for the resolution of my phone), I have managed to look through the settings on the editor but couldn't find the setting. Can you point me in the right direction?

Managed to find the HVGA port for CHT and installed, still can't seem to find the option to turn off the ambient light sensor. I think it's back to searching through the registry.

CHT looks pretty cool though after playing around with it...

Thanks

I tried both of these, and after adding and turning on the options the phone went crazy and the screen kept activating and de-activating. I managed to turn off the options. But still, during a call the screen de-activates so I can't hang up.

I've gone back to checking the registry and have found a couple of entries which could be useful. I'm testing changing a few now. Will post the results...
