um mine doesn't do that at all, and i'm pretty sure its not meant to. have you installed some kind of extra control like camkeyD that would cause it to act as a seperate function?

I have a similar 'annoyance' - especially when web surfin' in landscape mode, my finger sometimes rests of the proximity sensor and then dims the screen.
A way to turn it off would be good - especially for certain progs (ie MicroB)

Don't install applications if you don't know what they do...
Uninstall shortcutD
If you do use the half-pressed camera button to minimize install camkeyD

I'm sure we've all installed apps, then later completely forgotten doing it.

And you can read the application's [Announce] post on the forum.

But seriously, if you manage to find something that's screwing up your phone it's normal a fairly simple operation to remove it. Even stuff from extras-devel. If it's a complete and utter disaster, you can always re-flash. And something I've never had to do. yet...

hi,
might seem a bit of a stupid question this.
is there a way to turn off the proximity sensor so it doesnt make whatever i have open (browser, camera are the main one) minimise when my hand brushes over the sensor on the left hand side. i obviously need it when making calls to turn off the screen.
its the only real issue i have with the phone but cant seem to turn it off.
oh before any help i dont really know what im doing in x termnal
thanks
chris
You can also have the proximity sensor enabled, but set it to activate only after you hold a finger above it for couple seconds.
All those changes you can made from the Settings app.
Hope this helps.

Just a note though, the proximity sensor is always active, even when it's not in use by any apps, not sure whose wise decision that was...
