I do have a screen protector but it has a cutout so the proximity sensor isn't covered.
CFLs put out very little IR... they're made to be efficient in the visible spectrum.
40W incandescent is mood-lighting.
Try it with a 500W incandescent heat-lamp.

You probably don't see a problem in the sun because you're in England... that's quite a ways away from the equator compared to Florida. (I have no clue where the OP lives) Here, it's a constant irritant.

Here is a photo of my work , sorry for the poor quality , it's taken with my old samsung d900i .

Tip : anyone who wants to try this , when you put the little square of diskette material , leave a little line hole . This way the sensor will work normal .

my proximity error seems hardware but might be something else. i ran the script you gave and it only returned closed. whatever i did that i put infront of sunligt or next to the bulb. but whenever I exposed my phone to direct sun light its display got brighter. so what might be the problem?

Same problem as mine . Just send it back to Nokia or use my method wich it works very well . By the way , if you wanna do my mod , you are doing on your own risk , I am not responsible for any damage .

I have the same problem, im confused

I thought the diskette tape( no idea what that is) was put outside on the glass ?

If not, how did u open it up and what do you mean by line hole ?

Mines is out if warranty.

Thanks in advance

never mind, job done

used inside of a disk

cut it up slightly bigger and used double sided tape.

perfect!

tested very close under a light bulb and it shows open in terminal.

as a guide. please make sure you have quality small screwdrivers as the screws behind the screen are really hard to open. i have messed up a 3 heads while opening them, they managed to close and i think are fine.

thanks all

Sometimes it goes blank in the sunlight for me too , but with this mod if you cover the sensor a bit it works , just try .
