Keep display on when the proximity sensor is covered

Question

I want to intercept the proximity sensor without turning off the display.

I know by the documentation that I have two Bool variables:

proximityMonitoring         


        

Answer 1

After reading different forums on the topic, its currently not possible for us in the public api to prevent the iPhone screen from going black when the proximity sensor is covered. The only thing you can do with the sensor is tell when its covered or not thru the notification center but again you can't control its natural behavior (When it dims/blacks out the screen).
