Now there's no any default settings at all its completely different way(and correct way I would say). Before I was using some numbers from a file updated as you move your device and trust me it was sooo inconsistent, even had different results while holding in different side of my head and at night time it wouldn't be on at all coz the value I was getting were '0' or lil bit
more. You can try yourself in x-term:

Previous Version used:
watch cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/adc0

Now I use:
watch cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/proximity/state

where is 1.7 located? The attachment on the first post is for 1.5, so I assume it is still the most current release?

also, I've checked many times and the app isn't available to download from extras-devel (for me anyway ... extras-devel enabled, searched for 'psswitcher', nothing found).

I had to download and install manually. Not a problem for me, but may be limiting take-up of the app if people can't find it where they expect it to be, so thought I'd let you know.

ps - glad you got the proximity/light thing sorted, I was just about to post a very puzzled query on the strange behaviour I was gettign in 1.4, it makes sense now :-)

thats weird maybe if you are already using it you might check it in "Update" anyways, I'll update the #1 post with the current one.

EDIT: Done...

suggestion - have a delay when turning on speaker. so that accidentally taking phone away from ear will not turn it on immediately - maybe some 50ms later.

Suggestions - check bluetooth status. I use a set of A2DP BT headphones, sometimes a call comes in and I answer it with my headphones, sliding out the keyboard will swap it from the headset to the loudspeaker. Maybe a key that can be held while sliding it out to disable autoswitching?

It's a really nice features !! Very handy !!! I am thinking about if I can end the call with long press camer key , why not andwer the phone by some hardware key instead of press "answer " on the touch screen . Some time , it's not so responsive .

Suggestion ---- A hardware key for answering the call

Thanks for the great job on this app !!!

miniME@ I'm not sure about the delay coz it will cut out words everytime switching speakers. However, it'll quickly switch back if you move close to ears and if the place is not somewhere where other ppl gets disturbed it shouldn't matter and in such place, ATM I'm working on an option as suggested by "efekt" where you can deactivate proximity all together pressing camkey while answering the key. So, there'll be no fear of accidentally turning speakers on and later if you feel you want proximity back just pressing the camkey again will bring it back.

@hawaii: Thanks for that info coz as I've never used bluetooth headset it never came to my mind. Can you/anyone plz check the output of the following while bluetooth headset is used and while it's not and let me know coz I'm not sure how to check if the bluetooth headset is connected. Just type the following in the x-terminal and connect and disconnect bluetooth headset.

watch cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/headphone/state

OR

lshal -m

@deter3: I'm not sure what you mean by not responsive and I don't think thats required as for me I would like to answer the call by first seeing the caller and this time the quickest option is to press the GUI "Answer" key than some customized hardware key. However, I can have a look at implementing it coz having an option won't hurt

hi

i think it is still ok and worth considering - you will not loose words of conversation as the noise of the handset speaker is still loud enough !

sometimes during conversation it is too loud (imagine your boss yelling at you) and you like to hold the speaker some cm off the ear. then it immediately turns the speakers on and it is even more louder.

one other example - hold the phone at your right hand and sometimes the sensor is not close enough to the head to keep the loud-speaker off.
no problem with left/ear hand though !

ciao
