Use proximity sensor without turning the screen off

This is a long shot, but does anyone know a way to avoid the automatic screen blanking when using the proximity sensor (UIDevice.proximityMonitoringEnabled & proximityState)?

You can use this trick to temporary disable screen turn off

 UIDevice *device = [UIDevice currentDevice];
 [device setProximityMonitoringEnabled:YES];

But current public API do not allow to use proximity sensor without blacking out the screen. Any one have solution for this?

UIDevice only allows you to monitor the proximity sensor state and handle it within your app. You cannot control the blackening of the screen.
