Hi,
Have the same issue, too !
hmm, looks like a android 2.3 issue on that one....
The same here. Is there any way to do a downgrade to 2.2? The phone is unusable, I'll have to go back to my old Nokia!!
Also, at the same time, when I plug the earphones on the Nexus, it doesn't detect them and continues playing through internal speaker!! And I suspect that the light sensor doesn't work.
Hasta luego.
Nexus one proximity sensor problem
Hi guys i had the same problem with my phone

You are lucky,, just opened my phone and cleaned the proximity sensor and light sensor with specialized electronics solutions i borrowed from work and nothing happened,,dont know what to do about it
RE: how to disable proximity sensor
hey there, this is my second post, THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! I was able to disable my nexus one proximity sensor using the hex edit method (after granting the app root access) and now a brick to be is no more. thank you to the poster who made the original post and the one who mentioned the way to give hexedit root access. my sensor definition was exactly where he said it would be. the name of course was cm3602 (lowercase, looking for uppercase found nothing) I was able to change hex position 0000323d from 32 to 00 , and poof, no more black screen after dialing or when receiving a call. a temporary solution I was using was to use a bluetooth headset.
Thank you all.

My proximity sensor seems to have stopped working (always gives a value of 0.0) as a result whenever a call is placed the screen goes off and i cant do anything at all, cant even end the call. This seems to be hardware problem, as cleaning the area is not helping.
Is there a way to disable the proximity sensor completely/permanently?
The only working way i found was using the "Hardware Disabler" app in play store and disabling /sys/bus/platform/drivers/proximity, but that makes the phone as slow as hell. How would I go about deleting this folder otherwise? Root Explorer is not allowing me to do this.
All the other solutions i found on the net do not help (using proximity recalibration, adding lines to build.prop, putting a script in init.d - Though perhaps I am not using it correctly).
Someone please help. The problem is driving me crazy.
Note: using CM9.0 RC2
Nobody has any issues with the proximity sensor on their phones?
And is there no actual way to disable it?
nobody here who can help?

I still need help on this?
Hi, last time I tried MIUI rom and iinm there is an option to disable the proximity sensor. But, if you doesn't like MIUI.. I am don't know any other workaround for it anymore.
Or try some different ROM to make sure if it is actually hardware issue or software issue.....
Use miui rom and press on dial and then menu...Again press on setting and Answer setting .. You will find there the option to disable proximity sensor..
Hello everyone,
Recently, everytime I get a phone call, the screen doesn't go off when the phone is next to my ear. In other words, the sensor does not sense that I picked up the phone.
I have tried many ROMs to get this fixed. I flashed the factory GB and that didn't work either.
I'm not sure if this a driver problem or a hardware problem. Can somebody help me fix this??
Thanks.
Proximity sensor problem anyone??..

Hello,
at first I would try to test the hardware. I did find a small app called 'My Android sensors'. Start that and look for a proximity sensor. If you can't find it then there is a problem.
Bug it should be there even if it isn't working. Then open if and look for the sensor state. On a SGS it can only say 'near' or 'far'. Test the sensor by moving the hand to the left side of the speaker grill. There is the sensor. The state should change. If it doesn't then you have a malfunctioning sensor so changing the Rom is of no use.
If it does change you should contact the Rom developer for a start.
Can try reflashing stock or custom Rom whatever you are on. Mostly it can be a sensor driver issue present in the current Rom.

the value (near far) doesn't change. So it's dead?
AW: [Q] Call sensor
Maybe there is software to disable the sensor. Or your Rom has such an option. But I'm not aware of such things. So it looks like your sensor is dead. Sorry!
Wondering if someone (hopefully more than one) can check something to see if this is an issue with my particular phone or something related to the software/hardware. It seems that when a call is placed or received, the proximity sensor goes to "far" and won't reset until it is uncovered and then re-covered. I have searched through the Verizon HTC One forums and have not found anything related to this issue.
If the proximity sensor is covered, and I make a call (via bluetooth headset (double click for last dialed)) or receive a call, the proximity sensor goes to the uncovered state. It then stays in that state until I uncover and then re-cover it. How I checked this was using Elixir 2 and checking the sensor data. I also set up variables in Tasker and Automagic.
So, this was my test procedure:
I start the sensor data in Elixir 2 for the proximity sensor. I cover the sensor with my finger (it now shows "near"). I use my bluetooth headset to place a call. The screen comes on with the current call. I back out of the current screen (the phone screen) and get back to Elixir 2 sensor data. The sensor now shows "far". From that point on, until I uncover the proximity sensor and then cover it, it shows far. I set up variables in Tasker and Automagic that show the same results.
I am running the stock debloated ROM. Rooted and S-Off.
EDITED:
So, this is the latest for my issue. I went from stock ROM to ViperOne 5.8.0. I am still getting the same results. So, I think I have eliminated the software side of it. Would that be right? So, it could be the firmware or the hardware? I'm still wondering if it's my phone only or if it is an issue with the HTC One in general. Is there anyone that can check this? Or give me another route to take?
I'm on ViperOne 5.8.0
Android 4.4.2
Senses 5.5
Any other info you might need, please just ask.
Some thing like that happened to me and i posted a thread and no answers.
My problem is that when the phone is in my pocket only one speaker is ringing(the lower one) and when on the desk face up both of the speakers are ringing.I noticed this affects only the call option(if i get a sms/notication and it's in my pocket/desk both of the speakers work).i've made all off the tests i can find am the problem seems to be from software.When i cover with my finger the sensor and some ones call s me only the bootom speker is ringing,when removing my finger from the sensor and receving cal SURPRISE both of the are ringing.
I've change the software ARHD 53 with ELEMENTALX Kernel.

Well, seems to be the same here. I have this posted under the Verizon HTC One > One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting as well as here and at the Android forums. It seems that either no one else is having this issue, no on cares or no one can run this test with free programs. I dunno. The problems I have is that I use by bluetooth headset most of the time. I am a blue collar worker and try not to pull my phone out of my pocket when my hands get filthy. But, when I take or make a call using the headset, the display kicks on and then stays on because I can't use the proximity sensor to turn the screen back off. Guess I'll have to try other routes. This sucks. LOL
I haven't heard of the other issue you are referring to. I can tell you that I have not had that issue with my One. Doesn't mean that it's not a problem. Have you checked the Sounds settings for pocket mode and quiet ring on pickup? If so, I think I would try to either get with Verizon about it or maybe even HTC. It definitely sounds like it could be a phone issue. But I'm kind of new to all of this.
Same problem here, when i'm in a call the screen go on, very annoying.
Now i'm trying this app "rezound prox sensor calibrator"
I've tried every possible solution including Pocked mode& Quiet ring.I still think this is a soft bug till further notice.
Lets hope we get a answer soon.Btw same here with the headset,I'm using a hands free and when i answer/call some one i must manually turn off the screen or its turn of by itself after 1-2 min i think.

It's not a calibration issue. When the phone rings or you make a call via a headset and the proximity sensor is covered (ie. in your pocket or screen face down), the display kicks on and the prox sensor seems to default to "far" or "uncovered" (whatever term you like). It will remain at that value until you ACTUALLY uncover the sensor and then cover it back again.

The problem I have is that while the display is ON and sitting in my pocket, I have a chance of butt dialing someone or starting programs that drain the battery in addition to the dsplay being on. Not to mention, with the display on in my pocket, the heat builds up in the phone. I guess I have a $700 butt warmer? LOL
I have Note8. It has a very strange sensors error, as below:
- All sensors, from proximity sensor, light sensor, to GPS, iris scanner, and all the other sensors do not work at all.
- In the app like Phone INFO Samsung, CPU-Z or AIDA64, in the Sensors section, all sensors do not work.
- The Auto Brightness function does not work (due to the light sensor), the brightness of the AOD screen is also not adjustable.
- When making a phone call and move the phone close to the ear, the screen does not turn off due to proximity sensor.
- Auto Rotation function is not working (due to rotation sensor).
- Google Maps shows inaccurate location. Other apps that rely on GPS (such as the speedometer app) are completely not working.
- The iris scanner function does not work either.
It was about two weeks ago. I've Wiped the cache, restart the phone but does not make sense.
Yesterday it suddenly returned to normal, I don't know why.
But today - while I'm typing this post - all sensors suddenly do not work again.
Any idea about the error and how to fix it?
Thank you guys
Best advice I can think of is to factory reset and see if that alleviates the problem.
If you did not do anything firmware-related, or you did not drop or submeged your device, the best you can do is to make a warranty claim, pure and simple, if you have no way to make such claim, well, next time you should consider getting a device from an official source
I've read other users have had same problem. Ones I read said it was motherboard issue had to have sammy replace it.
Thank you guys
There is also built-in sensor test. Open dialer and dial *#0*#
I noticed a problem when I was playing Asphalt (racing game on me Note 8). I am unable to use the Tilt controls to move the scar.
Testing out the Sensors using *#0*# at the dialer revealed that all the SENSORS was faulty.
I reset the whole phone just now. The issue is still there with the sensor. As expected Auto rotation doesn't work.
Running the latest version 8.0.
I recently changed my motherboard (under warranty) 3 months back cos something was faulty. Seems it may be another motherboard issue.
Anyone else in this thread solved the issue?
Hey everyone I'm facing the same problem. All sensors stoped working but they were working before on 7.1.1 and i updated my device to oreo and realized all sensors stoped

I tried deleting some proximity.sensor files i found in system folder, but phone didn't boot.. I also tried many hacks I found in internet for other phones, no solution.. It is a really big problem for me to disable proximity sensor for the use I do in phone in the car. If i don't find a solution i have to open the phone and remove it completely.. If anyone have any solution to this..
