Whenever my finger coverers up the proximity sensor (like when I type) the screen shuts off. I've gotten so pissed about it I nearly smashed it to pieces. How can I deactivate the proximity sensor?

when i first got my x10, the proximity sensor worked fine.
but after about after a week of use, it seems to be malfunctioning. when i am in-call, and the phone is next to my face, the screen would turn off, due to the proximity sensor, but then turn back on immediately without removing the phone from my ear.
then after a few more seconds, it would turn off again due to the proximity sensor, and turn on again immediately.
anyone else have this problem? anyone know how to help?
anyone know what these are for?
they are hard to see, use a flashlight on the black part next to the earpiece
Proximity sensor.
There seems to be two of them, are they both proximity sensors?
1 is proximity sensor, the other one is light sensor.
My defy+ proximity sensor is not working.
As soon as I make a call, the phone screen goes black. The call goes thru fine, but the screen goes black.
No, I don''t have my finger or face near the proximity sensor.
No mods on the phone OS.
I did some debugging-
Cleaned the back of the phone by blowing air.
Tried the screw loosening like in the youtube video
Changed brightness settings from auto to manual.
Changed display turn off from 1min to never.
Finally, I downloded a sensor app and checked for change in the value of the proximity sensor when put by finger in the sensor area. The value was stuck at 3%, no matter what I did.
I was playing around and when I pressed the speaker area near the proximity sensor, the sensor value jumped to 100%
So I think the glass is blocking the sensor (or acting as a reflector).
Just to make sure the glass was the issue, I made a call by keeping the speaker area pressed. It worked as expected - no screen blanking after call. It does go black if I put my finger in the proximity sensor area.
I have no idea how to fix it.The screen & sensor need to be pressed closer.
Only thing I have tried is tighten the screws in the back. But no use.
Any help?
Since you don't have mods, it's probably broken, go to customer care.
Or you can maybe try factory reset
Do you have a screen protector?
Out yes remove it.
If not your sensor is broken.

As in the title proximity sensor stopped working during call, but only when taking from the ear. It don't wake up screen anymore. Anybody facing same problem? Is there a solution?
me too, all other sensor works except proximity that works one tiem then nothing
Waiting for asus fix the proximity sensor can be disabled from dialer settings to avoid the black call screen.
For me too!! It's very annoying . i have used xposed "sensor Disabler" module as a work around to completely disable proximity sensor!
I had the same on Android 5. Double tap the power button wakes it up.
Got my screen replaced at a local shop after it cracked.
But now the proximity sensor is not working properly as it always detects that it is covered.
Proximity testing apps show that the sensor always shows the value as 0.0 (covered).
can someone help me on how to disable the proximity sensor completely as i face black screen during calls and can't record/hang-up/put on speaker....
I'm rooted and running cosmic os 7.1.1 so xposed is not a solution
Need help disabling it.
