Ok guys my question is this, when i have knockon enabled, if i am covering the proximity sensor, the screen does not turn on. So, am i right to assume that this phone has the proximity sensor always on when knock on is enabled?
That would also mean that using apps with pocket mode(meaning they use the proximity sensor to turn on the screen automatically when you remove the phone from pocket) would have absolutely no extra battery drain because the proximity sensor is already always on. Am i correct?

According to the Leo/Linux status wiki (http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status) the Ambient Light Sensor is still not working properly.
That would explain why auto backlight adjustment does not work.
However, when in the phone screen the light sensor seems to work in that the screen goes dark when I cover the light sensor, as expected.
So I am curious as to the status of this regarding auto backlight specifically, does anyone have any more concrete info?
Perhaps there are separate light sensors? Or perhaps the light sensor only works in a limited fashion for the time being?
Just curious, not complaining
(P.S. the free "Battery Level" widget from the Market has worked well for me in the absence of auto backlight adjustment, in case others find it useful)
well there's a proximity sensor on the phone that comes into play while you are in an active call. it disables the back as you put the phone to your ear. you were simply simulating that action by covering the sensor with your hand.
Ah ok! Thats what the proximity sensor is. That is indeed marked as working on the status wiki, so that makes sense.
Thanks!
I Want to disable proximity sensor as it drains huger amount of battery while in call.
I tried to use Hardware disabler but did not find the proximity sensor.
Please Help!
I've been getting a weird issue with my proximity sensor on my Note 4. It becomes... I suppose you could call it 'overzealous.' Even when not in a call, waving your finger over it will turn off the screen, no matter what screen it's on, home, lock, a game, Chrome, etc. And it's not just COVERING the sensor, it projects out to just over an inch away from the glass, so when I, say, go to pull down the notifications shade, the screen will turn off. It requires a restart to fix.
Anybody else had this particular issue?
You probably have some app what causing that because normally that sensor is only active during phone call. Possibly gesture control use that sensor too (when enabled). BTW proximity sensor in note 4 is set for 8 cm. It reads value above or below 8 cm but not exact distance.

Got the digitize r replaced for lg g2 d802
since then, proximity sensor n light sensor are not working properly.. i lost the automatic brightness feature n whenever i make a call the screen turns off n doesnt turn on until the other person ends the call..
found a way to disable proximity sensor but it needs xposed..
m on Dirty unicorns rom n Xposed makes it unstable..
anyone knows any other software way to Disable Proximity sensor ?????
My screen is staying on when I hold it to my cheek on a call. Is there a setting I'm not seeing to turn on the proximity sensor? Shouldn't the screen go black in that situation?
I would Suggest downloading a proximity screen off app and test if sensor is working fine...
