Please tell me if I got you right. If the script responded "open" when you cover the sensor, that means you should see the phone app's screen unlocked as nothing is blocking the sensor. Isn't the test told you exactly the opposite of what you observed with your phone apps?

Also, if you've reflashed your N900 to the stock kernel and update nothing thereafter and still got the same problem, that means the problem is not related to recent update right? Then you'd like to look at the hardware problem.

P.S. you don't need to cover the whole display area to test the proximity sensor. This video can show you the exact location of the sensor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXgqp...layer_embedded
