Hello,
i´m looking for a solution for my proximity sensor problem. After drop down and screen replacement, i recognized that the sensor doesn´t work anyomore like he normally should.
The problem is well known, but i didn´t want to tear my nexus down. With the app Proximity Screen Off Lite it was possible to disable the sensor, but now, after updating to 5.0 it doesn´t work anymore.
I tried lots of other proximity apps, but none of them are working.
So, can anyone help me? (Phone is rooted)

My proximity sensor is dead. Stuck in WinMo 6.5 and Android. Is there a way I can disable it and have the in call settings use the gyro instead? Or maybe not blank the screen at all?
Thanks!

I found a way to wake the screen back up without yanking the battery. I can give it USB power and it will wake. Still sucks but is better than reboot.
Anyone know how to kill prox?

Same here, very anoying.
When headphone is plugged in i dont have any problems.
I had the same problem, so I got libsensors source from HyperDroid, commented out lines that do proximity sensor initialization and got sensors.leo.so that shows to phone that there are no proximity sensor.
There are 3 identical files in the attachment - simply copy them over into /system/lib/hw on the device.
But, actually, repairing sensor would be better solution...

That's what I've been doing. I sent it in to get the prox fixed and they shipped it back still broke.
Hi guys, I have strange but I think common problem. My problem is, when I use earphones/headphones and I try to call (proximity sensor is on) I can hear buzz sound, Its VERY annoying. I tried viber/tango and had same problem with them. So next I tried skype, because skype is not turning on proximity all was fine.
So my question is, how can i disable driver/proximity sensor. I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683884 But this app cant find proximity sensor, all what I saw was led/touch/camera and magnetic field sensors, nothing about proximity... Next I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626611 and still nothing, but I think its only for gsm...
Can anybody help me with that? Now what I have is Aokp M1 and trinity kernel, thanks in advance.
Hi,
i've always the pb of proximity sonsor or somthing in that field when i'm installing a custom rom of android 6.0, 7.0 or 7.1 such as (OptimizedCM-14.1-20161121-BETA1-AROMA, JDCTeam_jdc_jflte-7.1-20161117-BETA, MK60.1-jfltexx-201605070057-NIGHTLY)
so when i make a call, via messenger or my sim dialer, the screen turns off and won't turn on if i push power or home buttons.
so, what's the solution of this pb i'm suffering from, from a long time...
Does the phone work properly on a stock ROM? Did you try disabling the proximity sensor or disabling the screen-off function?

Yes, i'm now on 5.0.1 (stock rom) it works fine
how can i disable the proximity sonsor or the screen-off function?
This sure looks as a problem with the proximity sensor, the s4 is known for accumulating dust and grease on top of it. Open your phone with a small Phillips tool, remove it and clean it. It will work as new.
Don't think it's a hardware problem since the sensor works properly on a stock ROM.
Sorry, I no longer have an s4 and I don't remember how to disable the proximity sensor in a custom or stock ROM.
I am having issues with my Z3 proximity sensor being activated when it's not supposed to.. e.g. when I receive a call the screen will just go black and I cannot answer the call or even see who is calling me, same when I dial out, I just have to hope the other person hangs up or I have to soft reset my phone with power + vol up until it turns off then restart.
I have tried all the silly apps and none of them work, or they are just bloated with ads etc. and besides I would rather not have to rely on an app for this. I have read in a few places that the proximity sensor is at /dev/cm3602 but only on certain devices, and possibly only on ICS/JB.
Surely there must be a way to disable the proximity sensor via root shell?
I have tried so many things, at first I thought it was a firmware issue, but after trying various ROMs I figured it's not. What confuses me is that the proximity sensor and light sensor are the same sensor, and the light part works fine but the proximity doesn't.
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about this? Has done this before? Or is willing to give me any idea on how to get going in the right direction?
Cheers in advance..
Hi everyone,
I own a Zenfone 3 ZE552KL that recently showed an issue with the proximity sensor.
It always returns positive, i.e. as if something is close.
I tried an application to recalibrate the sensor and I also asked a repair shop to clean the sensor itself but no luck.
Also, since the proximity sensor is soldered to the mainboard it's not possible to change it.
As a workaround I used the function from the dialer to set the screen always on during calls. However, after having moved to LineageOS 16 (with Android 9) I am not able to find the same option.
Do you know any workaround to disable the proximity sensor?
Maybe there is another ROM who gives you the possibility to set screen on during calls?
I will be happy to discuss and receive few suggestions on the topic
Thanks!
J.
