On my Nexus I use a bluetooth headset and sometimes when someone text me while I am talking and try to reply, I can't because the screen keeps turning off.
IS there a way to avoid this? I love multitasking LOL!
I guess I am the only one having this issue?
Proximity Sensor?
If you are texting in landscape, you might be covering the proximity sensor. And kudos on your multitasking prowess, i will never have your issue...I'm not that talented

has anyone had issues with the Proximity Sensor not sensing your face properly and the screen turning on during calls? I have had several calls where the mute, speakerphone, or end call button were pressed while I was in the middle of a conversation. I am holding the phone to my face, touching my skin. No space between the sensor area and my ear at all.
It's very annoying.

Yes. The worst is when you turn the speaker phone on in the middle of a call and get your ear drums blasted.

Yes, that is exactly what has happened to me a few times now.
Sucks big time, I had some app that made the flash turn on when a call was coming in, removed that, it seems like things are better, might have been the culprit.
If you're rooted, you can use Rezound Prox Sensor Calibrator from the Play Store to adjust the minimum and maximum values to get better results from your proximity sensor. I had to do that especially while running an AOSP ROM on my HTC One.

+1 just found that app today and fixes everything.
Anyone else having issues with the sensors and the moto display? I tend to see it turn on constantly especially in my car, not sure if the street lights are triggering it or that its motion sensitive. Is it supposed to be motion sensitive? I've realized just pushing the phone or shaking what its sitting on turns it on.

That's the point. Any time you move it or act like you may be trying to turn it on it shows moto display. Old X did this too. You do realize it uses like, no battery to show this, and this is the entire point of active display?
The notifications "breathe", too, they turn on and off regularly by themselves.
Gotcha, didn't realize it was sensitive to all motion, just thought the wave over it, the twist to turn on the camera, and just for notifications.
It is a bit disconcerting at first. I have to fight my instinct to worry about the battery and keep very still around the phone to avoid waking it up.
But I guess if it really does consume very little power I should learn not to worry about it.
I was on a call earlier, and I noticed yob ending the call that my face had opened up Facebook messenger. Anyone else having issues with the proximity sensor? Maybe a fluke, I don't talk on the phone much. Gonna treat it more in case I have to exchange it
There are settings for this.
Normally i have my power button to lock the screen.
But uts not always needed. If your ear is close to the sensor it will turn off the screen. But if your a few cm away it or its on am opening of your ear it will turn the screen back on.
Dear all,
I had problems with my Note 10 virtual proximity sensor over the last months and it went worse from day to day.
Reading details in how the sensor works, I tried to figure out what might cause it not working properly.
The sensor seems to use the top ear phone speaker to broadcast ultrasonic sound and detecting whether it reflects.
So this lead me to the assumption, that a dirty speaker might cause trouble.
Now that speaker is so small that cleaning it is difficult.
This is what I tried:
I took a very small needle and rubbed it from left to right and back and forth on that speaker. I tried to get off as much dirt and dust as possible from it very small holes.
Difficult approach, but you might try that a well. A needle, some cleaning liquid, something to blue away that dust.
After I tried I first noticeably that the ear phone speaker was much louder again and testing with a WhatsApp voice message and with the CIA test menu, the sensor reacted much much better.
I'll give it some more days of testing but wanted to share those thoughts with you!
Let me know if you also have success
Best regards,
Christian
is there any fixed or module?
Promoting my app that blocks screen during phone calls.
It will help to minimize effects from non-reliable ultrasonic proximity sensor.
So even if screen suddenly turns on you'll not press something by ear or cheek.

hi i download the app in playstore but not helped why? have android 12
hey,
I noticed earlier during a call that the proximity sensor makes a ticking noise when the display is switched off. The proximity sensor is located at the top right of the frame. Nothing can be heard when the display is on. The noise is always audible as long as the screen is off.
Has anyone else noticed that too?

Oh my god, I've been searching if anyone has this issue too (I also have an X5 pro) and find this thread via google search.
I'm not sure what's causing it but noticed it last week, first I thought it was the vibration motor for some reason. But yeah I definitely hear it when the screen is off only. It's most annoying during a phone call
This might be a defect since my Find X5 Pro is not producing any sound from the proximity sensor region. I've been testing in a really quiet environment.
