[PROBLEM] proximity sensor isn't working anymore! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I'm on tw lollipop with root permissions and since some days my proximity sensor isn't working!
On call when I put my phone near my ear the screen won't turn off, but for example if I use air gestures for skipping tracks on music player it works. Trying a tester found on the play store, the proximity sensor is still far even if I put my finger on it. Dialing *#0*# shows me this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Consider that numbers in ADC (idk what they are) increase to from ~100 to 1000 when I get close with the finger
Someone can please help me solving this? Thanks

lolipop is trash.
get back on kitkat :good:and no probs for you!!

I'm on CM12. Proximity sensor does work. 8cm uncovered. 0cm covered. Tested with sensor sense app. While I was on KK I calibrated it with some ADB commands I googled. Before the calibration it never was 'uncovered' (after callling I could not hang up, because screen remained dark). Always these problems with sensors....
Proximity sensor, GPS sensor and compass sensor is s**t on note 3.

Hi all.
Just solved using terminal thanks to a xda user. Now it perfectly works, please close the thread
Regards

Can you please share what you did to fix the proximity sensor. I seem to have the same problem after upgrading to TW Lolipop. Thanks

@Link23 i just followed this guide. Hope it helps.

Jog wheel broken?

Hi folks!
Has anyone here by chance had an issue with their Hermes Jogwheel? My phone's carefully looked-after and has only ever been dropped twice but for some reason my jogwheel has stopped working.
I tried a hard reset to make sure it wasn't a software thing but no luck with it working again

I have only seen one previous report of a hardware issue with the jog wheel. Not likely a repairable component, but might just need re-seating.
NB also has flashlight on the reverse (does that work??)

Yeah it's strange... The light is fine (tested with the camera flash function)
Just weird that it stopped all of a sudden and can't see as it's a software problem because of the hard reset etc.
I may have a look for a "how to disassemble" guide and see if it's been unseated as you suggested, cheers!

Been having issues with the accelerometer

Just got my adam today....
Been having issues with the accelerometer seems like eveything in games or apps that use the function wants to go to the right..no other holding place works.. just veers sharp right. then when I twist it at around it will go the other way but then back to right if I keep turning it ...
also when I hold it with my left hand only in landscape mode you see a spot of pressure on the screen push in as if my pointer finger in the back is pushin on the screen.
any one have any ideas.. already have wiped and tried again still no luck
The crazy part is the homescreen (launcher pro) always orients the proper way all the way around.. but maybe its a different sensor .. i dont know.
EDIT: I ran the program on my G2 and the blue points up to sky, the green points the right and the red is pointing in my direction...
If there is no way to reset the center in that accelerometer than I might just have to send it back.
Below is when the tablet is on a flat service.. if anyone else can run Z-device test to see what it should be that would be awesome.. i need to know if I need to fix this or send it back

Also here is a video of me use the "Swing Ball" app which shows that the balls swing straight up.
They move recklessly when I move the tablet around.
i've been having the same issue, and a little poking around has not yet yielded a fix. i'm still looking, but if anyone else finds anything, it would be great to know

I ended up installing the utopia beta 1 rom . The games that didn't work before are working now...I think its a problem on eden roms

Noticed some bugs today..... :(

OK so biking to work today noticed a few different bugs I had not noticed so far, coming from iPhone I had never experienced these problems with Apple.
My bluetooth simply will not auto connect to my garmin 510, I have to go into both devices and "forget" paired devices and reconnect a fresh, every time I turn either device off/on.
Headphones crackling at high volume (which isn't really that high to be fair) can't be the headphones as there very high spec. Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum
Just tried to compose an email (original email client) and as I write the email the cursor moves by itself back into the middle of the line im writing making it impossible to write a full line??? WTF?
TBF, at the beginning of this note I seem to compare to Apple, but thinking about it these are basics that should work on any device, I have been perfectly happy with the S4 up until now.... But the 3 jobs I wanted it to do properly today, it's failed at....... miserably!!
OK, So I've managed to write my email. Had to switch to original samsung keyboard (from swiftkey)
Can anybody replicate this error using original email app/swiftkey

I think I've read one or two complaints about the cursor issue. You can just install another keyboard from the Play Store. Thats the joy of android..
About the crackling, there's a whole thread on that topic. It seems that the S4, majorly the qualcomm LTE version I think, has crackling issues when you use headphones with a resistance lower than 14-16 ohms, so you're out of luck as of now until that issue is sorted by Samsung. You can find more info here, just search for it next time:

Is very comfortable, you can carry in a pocket. When you see bugs just spray all over it with this magnificent product.
(But remember, this is not for internal use)

UPDATE PhotoSphere works after clearing data (One does not have a gyroscope?)

UPDATE!! PhotoShpere is working after install if you delete data from apps menu and reboot! Still not sure on why the Gyroscope is not showing up on Sensor Kinetics. BUT IT WORKS!
Admin, could you change the title of the post? Thanks
Steps to get working
Swipe down from top right of phone
Click Settings
Scroll down and click Apps
Find Camera and click it.
Click Clear data
Reboot
Once the phone has restarted relaunch Camera and swipe from the right. PhotoSphere is there now.
----------
Tested Google Camera and discovered the photo sphere feature is missing. Did some digging and it turns out Google Camera use the gyroscope for this feature and possibly the pano feature as well.
I checked the sensors and we are indeed missing a gyroscope.

This does not mean the One is a terrible phone. It simply means this is one area that was more than likely left out to help keep price down.
I will update as I find more information.

Adding info from CPU-Z

If anyone can shed some light on this. Does it have one and its not being picked up or is it simply missing and using some other method?
Thanks
Wow I can't believe that this would miss. Got the Moto G without gyroscope and sometimes I missed that feature so my next phone should have that. Can you please ask about it in the OPO forum? I would love to know this now.

Thanks I'm Sputnik24 from the OP-Forum
Unfortunately, the features can be gone after a next reboot, so you have to do this again. Quite annoying, but a software issue. So there should be a bug fix.
It does have a gyroscope according to cpu-z

That's strange. Although, on this page, it shows that OPO does have a gyroscope. http://oneplus.net/one#specifications

There was some debate on this in the OP forums...
A detailed view indicates there is a 'Gravity' sensor and a Geomagnetic Rotation Vector. Basically, Gravity sensor tells it where down is and the other one gives info on any offset motion from 'down'. So it essentially knows any position it is in, making it a gyro. I think the function is there but they're pulling data from 2 different sensors and neither reports it is a gyroscope. Just guessing here...
Install the latest update OTA and the gyroscope is visible also the Google camera photosphere option is working now.

[Temporary Fix] Fix the Mic not working on OOS Pie on 3/3T

Hi there!
If you're here, I hope you're enjoying the newly released OxygenOS Pie Community Build on your OnePlus 3/3T
But, there's a serious bug which bothers a lot (me atleast)
Mic doesn't seem to work when earphones are connected in mostly all apps, except the Dialer app. Normal calling is fine, but Mic doesn't work in WhatsApp Calls, Sound Recorder app and in PUBG. I've So, I found a temporary fix for it.
I started checking all the apps which use the mic & then it striked my mind that it is Google Assistant which keeps listening at all times! So, it seems that in OOS Pie, there's an issue which causes Google Assistant to always occupy the mic. This shouldn't be the case in my opinion as there are a lot of people who use Google Assistant.
NOTE : It is still a BUG and needs to be fixed. This is only a temporary solution that I found while I was messing up with logs and stuff, to investigate this issue.
Steps:-
1. Open Google App.
2. Press 'More' on the bottom right, and then 'Settings'.

3. Press 'Voice', then 'Voice Match' and turn 'Access with Voice Match' off.
It seems there's some issue with the Google App or Google Play Services app that comes pre-installed with the ROM.

After disabling it:-
This applies to the 'leaked' Closed Beta build as well as the new 'Community Build'.
Let me know if it fixed the issue for you!
Reserved, just in case.
