Proximity sensor not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am not sure if my proximity sensor is defective or if Android somehow 
deactivated it.
However the sensor is not working anymore. In WiMo when the other side is 
ending the call the screen goes on. In Android the screen will remain off 
forever. Also when the other side is ending the call the screen does not come 
on. Power button does not help, I have to remove the battery...

There was dust on the sensor. When I cleaned it the sensor did work. However, 
as long as there is dust on the sensor the screen will never ever come on 
again, even if the other side does end the call. In WiMo the screen does come 
on. I think this should be an easy thing to fix...

in case cleaning does not work (display change): workaround for WinMo
1. HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0  disables HTC caller app, WinMo app 
doesn't use prox. sensor
2. disable Auto ScreenLock from settings so that you will be able to see 
incoming caller and pickup
in Android
1. shine direct light on light sensor (upper right corner) - will revive screen 
after hang-up
2. ask devs to cook android build with prox. sensor disabled
