it'd be nice if we could tweak the minimum threshold for blacking out the screen when on the phone.
the proximity sensor is working fine as far as i can see... if i dont have this problem, it gets blank while holding it on my ear.

i have a screenprotector, but i dont think that this is the problem, the sensor is working fine all the time when this problem doesnt happen. A friend of me has the same protector and doesnt have this problem... The protector has a light troughput (?) of 98%, that should be enough...

i think, because the screen reappears when holding it in horizontal position it should be a problem of the accelerometers (is the word correct?), which tells the phone in which position it is. If i turn off the activation if holding in portrait mode, the problem doesnt appears...

right now, the problem is gone, also with auto activation, but i think this will happen again (like it did a few weeks ago)
