nice one,

ok ive installed atomic 1.6 and the ZTE Stuff.zip and im not able to access the factory settings.

Ive checked the sensor test and the results for the proximity are :

x:Stop fail

and when i calibrate its suggests the calibration is OK.

The other proxcal will give me a 1cm or 5 cm value ( i expect thats just near and far)

what now? is the sensor broken?

Thanks for all your helps

The sensor trouble had happened to me when I installed atomic rom 1.6. It was for me a specific problem, because the sensor usually works nice but during calls stops to work. While you´re calling, the screen turns off and you are not able to turn on the screen unless you try to reboot the phone. These was my "custom trouble". I´m not sure about if its broken your sensor, but i think no..it´s just an issue from the rom.

Once a time you has installed zte dialer, turn on the phone and dial *983*0# (with ZTE dialer, not original dialer), push on the sensor item settings. And press calibrate, i think the phone will get you a "success message". Then go again to recovery menu and reflash Atomic custom rom without wipes (just install from zip file).

Now our ZTE has the original dialer (blue themed by the rom) working.

Ive tried the method and still no joy.

is there a way simply to keep the screen lit whilst on a call?

ive managed to find the "power button ends call"

Dear all, from the website of ZTE, I found an app to calibrate the proximity sensor

Maybe it will take affects

My link

The zip file:

P020111205626408857501.zip

Guide: (Since the guide is written in Chinese)

1. Install the app

2. Open it

3. Press "Calibrate" (Don't cover the sensor with anything)

4. If successes, it will show "proximity calibration is ok "

5. Press ok to exit

I don't know if it's work since my sensor works great

Great finding

I think it will probably work as it is an official release.

I tried it but it gave me the error 'Application not installed'.

I'm using CM7.

Any suggestion?

Sorry, I didn't install it since my sensor is fine

I got the same situation while trying to install it on CM7

Maybe it's only for the official ROM?

But the code might be helpful in developing....

[Guest philmein]

works fine blumonte 1.6c

On CM7 you've already got a calibration tool in Skate settings.

[Guest stiefanu]

On CM7 you've already got a calibration tool in Skate settings.

Yes, i know. But it doesn't work, i use it every time i reboot or power on the phone.

[Guest eddev]

I flashed Atomic 1.6 and had the proximity sensor bug, I tried *983*0'# but i got a message saying "connection problem or invalid MMI code" (I think I have since read that you need the ZTE dialler for this to work?).

I had originally flashed CM7 and recall it having Skate settings for proximity sensor calibration but never used it before moving on to flashing Atomic 1.6, so as an experiment I did the following:-

1. reboot into Clockworkmod recovery and run a backup
2. flash CM7, reboot and run the proximity calibration tool
3. reboot back into Clockworkmod recovery and wipe
4. flash Atomic 1.6 and reboot
5. reboot back into Clockworkmod and restore the previous backup

I'm not sure if the above should have worked but it seems to have cured the problem for me!

Yes, i know. But it doesn't work, i use it every time i reboot or power on the phone.

same here the calibration isn't remaining after a reboot / power cycle.

[Guest metal.mickey]

Still having problems

ive tried all the custom roms and am back to the orange stock rom unsigned.

all calibration attempts have resulted in the the values

X:STOP Fail

pressing the callibrate button give the Calibration is OK.

Back on the stock orange rom whilst on a call, the dialer goes black and will not return until the power button is pressed, although it doesnt end the call, i brings the screen back.

so is my proximity busted?
