Zusammenfassung:A method (500) for activating a hand-held electronic device (10) includes the steps of: providing (510) a hand-held electronic device comprising a body portion (12) and a proximity sensor (50), wherein the proximity sensor comprises a capacitor; determining (520), via the capacitor, a baseline capacitance of the proximity sensor; detecting (530), via the capacitor, an approaching target object (52) before the target object touches the body portion, wherein the approaching target object increases capacitance of the proximity sensor to a first capacitance; comparing (540) the first capacitance to the baseline capacitance; and activating (550) the hand- held electronic device if the first capacitance exceeds the baseline capacitance.
