**Standard Disclaimer applies here: If you screw up your device trying the following steps in this thread, I cant be responsible. But thats old news**
If your phone stays black after a call you can fix it by a couple of ways.
First:
Install this app and test your proximity sensor to be sure, that it is not broken: Proximity Sensor Finder
Options you need to try first.
<-------------------------------------->
1 of the other option would be an app called Anyunlock which seems to have solved the problem for me. It seems to be able to wake up when the screen turns off after a call. The app allows you to unlock with the volume key and replaces the lock screen with its own screen.
This option works on my Desire S
<-------------------------------------->
If it's broken, you'll see 0.0 cm all the time.
Solution to disable proximity sensor incall is to put this line into build.prop and reboot:
you can edit the build.prop by pulling it first from the device by doing:
open with wordpad and add the following line
Then
reboot so that the settings take effect
This option works on my Desire S
Credits
For disabling the proximity sensor in call go to Matri}{
Rest of the credits go to all the people that figured the other stuff out. (to many post on the net so I don't know who made them but thanks)
Thanks to myself for making this tutorial. (It's my first on xda)
If you have any other idea's just pm me or drop a post.
Thanks

First:
Code:
[B]Q[/B]:Where is the proximity sensor?
[B]A[/B]:Top left of the screen in opposite place to led, if you tily screen under the light you should see the sensor reflect back at you.

- The screen protector, yes it might be transparent but the sensor detects it. Using a sensor testing app from the market it suggested the sensor was covered almost all the time.
So the solution was replace the protector with new one but cut an arc at the top just big enough around the sensor at the top left, easy fix now in call screen is more responsive. - With a vacuum cleaner vacuum over the top area of the phone. This must suck all the dust out of there.
