That's a shame, he was extremely technically competent, to the point that he was often helping Schturman, a great community asset.
Oh well, as you say N9Qtweak is obviously now far more advanced, & the only option, & I'm sure it's great in it's own right.
I've always been somewhat anti these sort of apps, prefer to doco all the tweaks/hacks I want to do, & then gradually apply them if/when I want.
But perhaps I will give it a shot at some stage, thanks!
Well we all prefer to tweak manually but after a reflash you can set up your system in less than 5mins thanks to N9QTweak...its really useful regardless of whether you are a novice or an advanced user...
need help with the blackout that comes when i call someone. I want the screen not to go black ( as if phone was on my ear when its not and it remains black until the call is disconnected.)
please help Schturman. my light sensor seems to b dead.
If your sensor not work, try to refresh your device.
Please add the option to disable the Swype info bubbles that forever pop up as a "gentle reminder" about how it "ought to be used". They are both irritating and often even inappropriate.

my sensor is completely dead in hardware terms
i have flashed and soft and hard reset. Its not working.
please help me with a tweak that disables light sensor so that i can avoid blackout during calls.

SOLUTION(?): I had the same issue and there is a workaround/solution that has stopped this from happening for me.
So when this happens (and it has happened since the earliest days of the N9, before N9QuickTweaks even, and apparently has many different causes), I usually have to hold down the power button for about 10 seconds to reboot, since you can't see anything once the screen goes black.
Once you hard reboot by holding down your power button for around 10 seconds, go to Settings and you'll notice that the light bar is all the way to the left. Shift it a little to the right. Open up N9QuickTweak and apply tweak BB option to Disable Automatic Brightness. Now, I do not use the BB option to control screen blanking; instead I use the FREE app called "Wake" in the OVI/Nokia store.
I hope that this helps.
This issue is caused because somehow, there is a screen setting that gets set to zero under certain circumstances. It can be any number of circumstances, many having to do with tweaks, displays, phone-ui's, etc., but no one has figured out all possible causes, so far as I know. Since the setting goes to zero when you are on a call and hold the phone close to your face, that is one triggering event. Someone did find the exact file and value that was being reset to zero once, but I can't remember which thread it was. But don't let that stop you from tweaking your device, just realize that when you are using a new tweak the issue may come back up. Just get the phone tweaked like you want it, then re-apply this approach and the problem goes away (at least for me).

Okay, if you activate the normal speaker function while talking, then the screen proximity sensor doesn't turn the screen off. Have you tried that? Have you tried an app called 'Speaker Switcher'? It automates the activation of the proximity sensor with the speaker phone option and may help. Have you contacted your seller to find out where the phone is from? Unless you bought VERY early, it should still be under warranty somewhere. And, even if you have to pay Nokia care to fix it, it may be less than replacement costs.
Let us know if any of this helps. Sorry your phone dropped.
