I thought Text Messages would "wake up" the device

Lets clear some more stuff up here. External notification indicators like LEDs found on HTCs, BB, etc are not specific to the OS (android, iOS, WP). Notification lights are specific to the phone hardware manufacturer. My HTC HD7 had an LED notification light for charging, missed calls, and texts (not email tho). The HD7 runs WP7 fyi. Newer HTC devices like the 8x have notification lights as stated above, and Nokia's do not. I did miss that light very much at first but I'm already over it.

Good points. For both BlackBerry and Apple, it is different since they control both the hardware and software.

I have never had a problem with a screen protector messing up the proximity sensor. Phone works just fine and I only have cut outs for the speaker and ffc

Mine wakes up for texts (screen lights up, message shows at the top) and when I get an email I get a cute ping! and facebook is a ping! and a cute message at the top.

Just wanted to give an update. It was the Ghost Armor. Took it back to the kiosk yesterday and he extended the cutout across to not cover the sensor and installed a new one. Phone is back to normal and working perfectly.

I have the HTC 8X on AT&T and it just started to not wake up for me. Where is the sensor on that phone? I have a screen protector and a case on it, but the protector doesn't block the camera (it goes around it), so I'm not sure what it could be...
