Guest bartvdv Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 As I make a phone call the screen goes black and none of the keys will work until the call is completed, which is pretty annoying if no one picks up or I get the answering service and have to press a 1 or # to complete the call ... I can't .. the only option so far is remove the battery and start over ... tried some other roms like cyanogenmod 7 and atOmic 4.0 ... and the ZTE stock rom but the problem remains it seems the ZTE default "in call" screen is the problem and is not updated by installing a new rom version ? Anybody else having this problem ? and how to fix ..... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PedroVader Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Don't want you to be flamed by less patient members, but this has been covered ad infinitum. Run a search for proximity sensor, or have a browse through the threads, you'll find it ;-) Sent from my ZTE Skate using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartvdv Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 ad infinitum ? proximity and call logic missing or is it, it senses the one I want to call is in close proximity so I better speak a little louder ..... any how I have a look ... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PedroVader Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Its there, but its been a problem since release. It was duff in the stock from from orange. Probably the only real shortcoming of the phone aside from the weedy arm6 processor. Sent from my ZTE Skate using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 there's an app in atomic to fix this, its also in the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartvdv Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 there's an app in atomic to fix this, its also in the FAQ. can't find zte skate FAQ ... anyhow i am back to stock mode, wifi was slow ( 10% speed ) in both other roms, and the light sensor didn't work in cyanogenmod 7 and since i am in bed most of the time and using it as a tablet I had to keep adjusting the brightness which is automatically done in the stock rom. perhaps a link to the FAQ and a link to the modaco calibration apk will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JetKun Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 What's really strange is that my proximity sensor worked straight out of the box, Orange Monte Carlo and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest metal.mickey Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 There inst a definitive fix. some of the pinned threads offer a patch or a proximity sensor recalibration. if neither of those work, you can select "Power button ends call" in the Acessibility menu. But if you need to "press 1 for eggs, press 2 for bacon" then youre screwed. im running an app called KeepScreen which prevents the screen from dimming full stop so proximity sensor is no longer an issue.

Anybody else having this problem ? and how to fix ..... ? hello To solve black screen you have to calibrate your proximity sensor. Dial *983*0# go to sensors and click calibrate. you may want to plub charger in so screen stays lit thats what i did and its perfect now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FatLadZ Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 yep but some dont fix and just say "stop" next to them My wifes wouldnt work right so i rang orange and they fobbed me off left rioght and center so i told them that the screen stays black adn the speaker stopped working. immediatly they agreed to a replace,ment handset. Looks like you need to lie a little to get satisfaction from orange. But having said that i called 7pm saturday night and the phone came sunday morning. Brilliant customer services :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to remove the battery to qur the Skate running again again after a call ... I hope a solution very soon ... I'm using Ice 2 Armor I've kind of got it working by manually editing the values using root explorer. Run the calibration tool in settings/device settings and it creates a file called prox_data.txt in data/misc. The values that you can play with are the prox_theshold_hi and low. I've found that if the hi one is above 1000 it seems to keep the screen on all the time (which is what mine set it as when running the calibration tool). Mine are currently at 952 and 949 and that works for me today. You'll need to reboot after editing the file. No doubt I haven't got it perfect yet but at least I know which area to look.

Guest 12speed Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi guys i found this info and it worked a treat for my sons monte carlo screen going black during calls. The calibration of the ear sensor somehow breaks. The only way to end the call is to take the battery out if you're not lucky enough to enable a press of the power button to drop a call. However, here's a fix: "Type this into dialer - *983*0# Go to Sensors - to do that scroll down the list and while not covering the sensor, click Calib - short for calibrate Then Click OK hope i have been of help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Killurah Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I did *983*0# Wearing flipcase on : proximity = near. Flipcase off : proximity = far. Problem solved. *zte blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
