Posting this in hopes that it will help someone else.

About 2 months ago I started to have problems with the proximity sensor on my N2. When I would answer an incoming call, the screen would go black, and I couldn't get it to come back on, without waiting about 2 minutes or doing a battery pull. After doing a little research, I found an easy method to recalibrate the proximity sensor. This worked well, but it had to be done every time the phone was rebooted. So I set up a gscript.

Recently did a little more research and found a recommendation to use compressed air and blow into speaker grill (where prox sensor is located), to disperse the lint that accumulates from carrying in pocket. This worked like a charm, and solved the problem, completely.



Edit: After several reboots, the data connection issue remains. Sorry if I unintentionally misled anyone. Proximity fix is still ok, though.
