Great improvement It was really irritating having to take the battery out of the phone to hang up. This app has removed the most annoying feature of my phone (now if only there was an app that could increase the size of the on-board flash memory!)

Fixes a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place I have a ZTE Valet from Tracfone. I had to pull the battery out multiple times before I found this app. This fixes that problem, though if you press the power button to turn on the screen before the proximity sensor enables the screen the screen will be turned off again. ZTE: Get your act together and ship your phones calibrated or do it in the beginning of the setup process.

ZTE Valet Blank Call Screen Proximity Sensor Issue Fixed! Thank you, thank you, thank you. This app finally fixes the problem of my screen turning off during the middle of my calls. I thought I was stuck with a $100 phone that wouldn't let me press buttons during calls. It was bad enough that the camera doesn't have autofocus for $100, but the idea of talking into a blank screen was enough to make me denounce inept cell phone makers everywhere. Now I only have to download an app to make my phone work like a phone. Isn't technology great?

Does not work I installed this app on my zte majstey and all it says when you try to use it is calibration failed. Wast of time the app is just like zte phones it blows.

Marvellous I suddenly found that the proximity sensor on my ZTE Skate (Orange Monte Carlo) had stopped reverting to the lit screen when I took the phone from my ear during a phone call, it made it impossible to make a call when you had to press buttons from a menu. I just downloaded the app and it took 2 seconds to put it right. Great app.

woodworker46 WOW I WAS READY TO BUY ANOTHER PHONE!!! WHILE MAKING A CALL ,OR LEAVING A VOICE MESSAGE, I WAS HAVING TO PULL THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO DISCONNECT, (THANK YOU I'LL GIVE IT A 5 STAR RATING FOR NOW )

Force Closes Anytime I hit calibrate it just results in a force close so it is completely useless for my phone. Uninstalling after I post this.
Great......:) So glad this apps able to sort my zte skate out within seconds, i hated reciving calls and not beingg able to go the menu or use the phone in general whilest during a call.
It fixed my phone! My phone screen would turn black during every call. The only way to get back was to wait for the other person to hang up, or hit the power button to end the call. I've talked with several techs and no one could fix it. I did a quick google search, found this app and in literally 3 seconds, my phone was working again. Thank you so much for creating this app.
saviour app (ZTE Skate aka Orange Monte carlo). was going nuts having to take off my batter to hung up and also not being able to press menu options on a call. very small app installed in a second or 2.
Been trying to sort this out for ages well done in the end, but why the long wait ?

Proximity Sensor Finder
Proximity Sensor Finder does what it says - it helps you locate the proximity sensor on your Android device. It is a very simple, purpose-built app with no flashy graphics.
Proximity Sensor Finder tells you a few things about your device:
1. Does the device have a proximity sensor?
2. Is an object in close proximity detected?
3. Does this device support actual proximity distances or just "covered" and "uncovered" sensor states?
4. For supported devices, exactly how far away is the object?
5. How long has the sensor been covered?
6. How much power is the proximity sensor consuming?
We developed Proximity Sensor Finder as an internal testing tool but it soon became apparent that there was a need in the market for just such an app, so we decided to ship it and make it free!
Internet and location permissions requested are just for ads, no other data is transmitted or received.
Phone Tester (sensors, GPS...)
Phone tester is a free app that allows you to analyze and test your device's hardware and components, to make sure everything is operating correctly.
You'll be able to test the following:
You'll be able to test the following:
***SENSORS***
Accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, proximity sensor, pressure sensor... You'll be able to check which sensors are supported by your phone and all the information and values provided for each sensor.
***WIFI***
You'll be able to check your LAN status: internal & external IP, gateway, DHCP server...
***TELEPHONY***
Signal, network type, external IP, SIM data...
***GPS***
You'll see the real data provided by the GPS: satellites, latitude, longitude, altitude, speed...
***BATTERY***
Level of charge, time on, temperature, health...
***MULTITOUCH***
How many points of contact does your device recognize?

Proximity Screen Off Lite
Want to feel what gestures can do? here's an application which will let you turn of your screen just with a swipe!! yes that's right!! All you have to do is swipe your hand over the proximity sensor (Located near the earpiece on top of the phone).
Donate:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FQMVBPXQ6PERN
Features:
1) Turn off the screen by sliding your hand
2) Turn off the screen by Covering the sensor for a duration of time (Tap and Hold)
3) Turn on the screen by Covering the sensor for a duration of time (Tap and Hold) - Note: This can cause Battery Drain
4) Enable screen on/off during calls only
5) ScreenOff shortcut, to turn off the screen by launching the app.
6) Based on your device select the sensor of your choice, or the one that's available and configure their values, as they are different for different devices.
Motivation to build this app:
1) While the phone is in pocket, and you have your bluetooth headset connected, even though you can answer your call with a click of bluetooth headset button, because the screen goes on and remains on, your call may hang-up or go on hold or probably few buttons may get pressed, isn't that annoying?
2) Lot of android phones don’t turn off the screen when phone is held close ear (You may end up hanging up on someone)
3) Accidental call pickups: Since capacitive screens are sensitive to touch as well as heat, An Incoming call gets picked up automatically when phone is in the pocket (And we get obliged to speak to annoying calls)
4) Its Cool!!!
5) If you are a HD2 user, you would know the pain. Many users have replaced that hardware buttons due to usage!!!
NOTE: To un-install, go Settings, Locations & Security, Select Device Administrators and disable the ScreenOff App

S4 Sensors [Requires Root!]
This app will help you calibrate that annoying proximity sensor on your Samsung Galaxy S4. If your phone blacks out and won't turn on the screen (no matter what you do) while you are in a call then this app is for you.
If you have any problems PLEASE CONTACT ME before you leave negative feedback.
So far it has only been tested on the T-Mobile Galaxy S4. It will probably work on several different devices.

Touch sensitivity calibration
ZTE

Calibration of the touchpad temperature settings
In extremely cold weather or abnormal temperature conditions your phone might not function like it normally should. If you are operating your phone in extreme cold conditions the touchpad of your phone may not react as it would under normal conditions. Any effect to the usage of the touchpad may therefore be caused due the impact of the surrounding environment.
In order to avoid any inconvenience or interruption to the usage of your device, ZTE will provide a user friendly solution to ensure the usability of your device.
This app solves typical touchpad problems through the calibration of the settings on your phone which are then adapted to a lower temperature environment.
All settings are done automatically, one need only install and execute the app on your phone.
Place your phone on an isolated desk (lay some non conducting material between your phone and the desk) then execute the application. While the process is ongoing please keep a certain distance between yourself and the device in order to avoid any unwanted influence during the calibration. The process will take only a few seconds. Once completed you may then return to main home screen and start using your phone normally.
