[Q] the telephone...

[PianoSam]

So now lets talk real world experience of the phone interface

When it blanks the phone buttons seem to operate...
I mean a number of occasions I have lost people because I have mysteriously put them on hold...with the phone to my ear.

People are always complaining to me that I am quiet even though the phone is in the correct place on my face and incall volume is at max

Often I cannot pick up calls ...I hit the answer icon to no avail...if I flick it upscreen it works but pressing the icon is only recognised intermittently

What is it like for you?

This is called the incall/proximity sensor issue and the reasons have not yet been found by xda people.
There are few fixing attempts available though which involve different strategies.
Someone lately suggested to the ViperOne team to make a tweak that allows for automatically locking the phone on call pick up as a permanent workaround fix. There was no developer response on this yet though. Its a good idea though.

The same sensor is causing another issue which is quite frustrating. On some occasions the normal method of simulated battery pull (press power for more than 15 seconds to force reboot) does not do anything unless shining a really bright light into the sensor. Apparently the prox sensor, not the light sensor.

It seems there are a few units out there which have issues with this sensor.

Another theory is that its jut the user tilting the phone until it recognizes landscape orientation and then the sensor is switched off...
