Hello
I have an LG E610 which is marked as not for sale, I had the famous "user debug mode" show in the UI, but almost everithing was working well.
I tried to flash it using official kdz ROM, and this passed well, but after booting, I don't have the screen rotation, neither the GPS, I don't need GPS. But the screen rotation is important for me.
Using the Android System Information I got this list of sensors:
BMA250 3-axis Accelerometer
BMM050 3-axis Magnetic field sensor
BMM050 Orientation sensor
GP2A Proximity
Rotation Vector
Please help me find the drivers for this sensors (if this is the problem).
Thanks in advance
so did any one solve this problem have same s*&^%$
The sensor is responsible for the Palm Motion (screenshot capture with hand gesture in front of the sensor) and the "Mute/pause" by covering the sensor, doesn't work for me ... I guess it's sensor problem, but It could be also software problem...
Anyway I'm on S4 I9500 (what they call Octa core) I'm rooted (Cofface root) and my Android version is in attached image.
I'll be happy if you guys can check if it works in your device... just go to:
Settings> My device> motion and gestures, then turn on the "PALM MOTION" toggle...
And if you make a gesture above the screen from right to left or left to right and the device does not take a screenshot, you probably also have this problem ...
I'd be happy if you comment here and update us.
By the way - what is Samsung's secret dial-up codes to check the sensors?
Thank you!
By the way, I found some schematics for the I9500 and I see that the left sensor is a light sensor and not proximity/gesture sensor... but anyway, I've activated all Motion and gestures toggles, but Palm motion still doesn't work!
Quick glance does work perfectly and also other Gestures and auto brightness, so I don't understand why the palm motion doesn't work if it uses the same sensors?

Any ideas?
Just so you know, I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to take a screenshot the "gesture" way and, unlike on the SGS3, it seems the side of your palm needs to be physically touching the screen as you swipe from left to right. At least it does for me!
Hi, 10x for your reply...
I tried all variations, but no luck... :\
And Palm mute/pause doesn't work too...

Palm mute/pause doesn't work for me either. Hardly any of the gesture's work well enough to be useful
hhmmm... this is so weird... I tried it on my friend's S4 and everything works great!
I think this is a software problem, I think I'm gonna download the latest Firmware and flush it via odin and check it again on stock version! maybe something messed up when I rooted my phone, or my stock firmware is not the latest one? (chek my attached image) does your device runs the exact same firmware as mine dose?
10x.:good:
Update!:good:
Ok I think I found the problem, for those who have that same problem, relax, probably the hardware is fine, As I assumed, this is a software problem (specific Build I guess) I dialed #*#0* in the Dialer Aoo and it's launched the device sensors debugger... and there you guys can check if the sensors are fine!
I suggest to check these particular sensors:
1. light sensor
2. proximity sensor
3. gesture sensor > Direction
and there you can verify if it's a software issue or hardware issue...
hope this helps somebody.
cheers!

That number doesn't work for me
Ooops...
My mistake, the right number is: *#0*# (star hashtag 0 star hashtag )
good luck !
Your hand has to physically touch the screen. Then both screen shot and mute work

Meltus is right. Your palm needs to cover the screen physically in order to work. As for the screen shot, the palm needs to physically swipe the screen

Hello everyone
My Lg g2 (D802) had a knock on/ knock off issues. i searched a solution and find that video on youtube (How to repair LG G2 front proximity sensor after replaced LCD Screen
after i put white paper on prox. sensor and turned on my phone i have met touch screen problems (then took out the paper)
the problem is that when touch the screen, screen doesn't response for a while ( 2-3 sec.) .If i wait 3 seconds click runs. I flashed official 5.0.2 rom but nothing chanced. My phone has no root access I everytime use official roms .
What could be problem software or hardware? I'd be glad if anyone help. Thanks in advance
I am using zenphone 2 laser ZE550KL and yesterday my touch pad got crack... and thats why my proximity sensor not working properly as broken glass is on the sensor... so i wnt to disable is completely... i mean it is like my phone doesn't have proximity sensor... any guys help me out here.... the only solution i have in my mind is to open my phone's motherboard and remove the proximity sensor... But i don't wnt to do that... i wnt to fix it by only software... plz help guys.
You should bring your phone to ASUS for glass fixing
If you using LineageOS, go to Settings => Buttons => Turn on End call by Power Button. This may be helping for a time
Dude i don't have problems with calling... but my double tap to wakup not working also when i am using third party apps like messenger imo etc my screen goes completely black... then i have only one option to restart my device
You can find the proximity sensor file in your root folder, maybe if you delete it or renamed it, it will disable the sensor.
Where..
