Sorry this autocomplete is driving me nuts, although I shut it down but in the browser it still replaces or attaches words.but I did not find the edit button here.

:) Well on topic, I experience the same, but I think this is by design: The sensor is too far off the center of the phone. So with my ears I am actually not covering it enough. Idk if this can be tuned in the hw/kernel settings though...

@ricmm any ideas on that?

ghost commented 6 years ago

Well with android it is working good enough although with the left hand it is not optimal.

ricmm commented 6 years ago

No suggestion if the issue is physical placement on the sensor. We can take a look at the triggers for it as maybe we can make it more aggressive... but the defaults is what we've always had across devices. Is this really a big issue? or just a per-user preference.

Hm, I do not think that this is really a user issue. Like I said it work on Android quite good. I think the sensor ratings are off. FP had also issues with it. What they did is a calibrating app. Maybe we could have the same approach. Therefore the values can be overwritten either manually or via the app.

Its a medium issue, I kicked myself ouf of a call by activating flight mode with my ear etc. Also the phone screen does not turn off, so this increases heat on my face :P

BTW also the light sensor is much too slow. I unlock the phone in daylight, and it takes up to 10 seconds until I can read smth. That must get faster.

ricmm commented 6 years ago

Ok I can take a look at current values and if theres any low hanging fruit there.

@twinkybot are you interested in testing a new firmware for FP2? PM me on Telegram maybe.
