[Q] Disable proximity sensor

[phemark]

Hi,

I have a problem with proximity sensor.
I looked through many threads here, but they didn't solve it to the end.

Problem:
When I am making/received call, my screen goes blank (near ear or far).
Tried using various apps (ProximityOFF, Sanity, ScreenBl), also tried adding "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to a build.prop file in system, didnt help.

At the moment I am using ScreenBl (it is always on), but it works kinda weird - it helps me keep screen awake during every SECOND call, i.e. call happens - screen off, call happens - screen on, call happens - screen off, call happens - screen on and so on.
Also, during that every second call with screen on, if i press speaker button twice, screen goes off (until call is ended).

So i wanted to ask, maybe someone found a solution of how to PERMANENTLY disable proximity sensor?

Thanks


P.S. I also cant figure out why it happens every SECOND call... maybe if you could help with that, we could find a solution?..

P.P.S. It's a Galaxy S, Darky's ROM, 2.3.3 - worked fine for many months, until couple weeks ago (dont know what changed....)


Edit: Same thing is happening without ScreenBl - still screen is on/off every second call...

hey,

similar issue with my SE xperia x10, the touchscreen broke in that corner where the sensor is so every time i make a call the screen gets locked and i have to remove the battery to end it.

the solution i found was intalling this app: Screen On from the market.

it keeps the screen on when some apps or process are running. i choose "active call".

please excuse my spelling, english is not my native language!

i hope you can solve the issue!!
