I AM A MILESTONE USER.
AFTER I FLASHED THE MOST UPDATED ho!no! cm7, I FOUND THAT IT IS REALLY FAST AND STABLE, I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
HOWEVER, I FOUND A PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT BOTH PROXIMITY SENSOR AND LIGHT SENSOR ARE NOT ABLE TO WORK. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I TRIED TO SEARCH SOME INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET BUT WITH NO ANSWER. ANYONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM? ANYONE CAN PROVIDE SOME SOLUTION FOR US?
Does this really need to be all caps?
I expect a "omg I didn't notice my caps lock was on" because somehow you managed to edit the post also

Hi Guys
I've noticed that after playing around with a few of the newer ROMs the keyboard backlight seems to have stopped working on my phone. I've tried changing the setting for the backlight sensor but I don't seem to be having any luck. Has anyone seen this problem with their device or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Trist
hi I was hoping someone else had seen this?
I have made a previous thread long time ago.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038598
Finally i have found what makes my screen blank during calls on any gingerbread custom or stock.
Its my faulty proximity sensor.
I used many device tests and they say naturally that my sensor is dead.
Strangely in froyo it works.
I dont care if it is software of hardware,i want you to tell me a way to turn that DAMN thing off as it is driving me crazy.
I have used ALL the apps on market,proximity off,sanity etc,i have bought all but no luck.
Can the app Tasker help me?
PLEASE!!! help me!!! i beg you people.
EDIT
and as i have suspected,if i use my handsfree (they say they turn off the proximity sensor),well everything works super fine....
come on guys...many people have the same issues,you are the gurus.help!
no one???? wtf

I guess you will have to downgrade to FROYO and stay there

that is ridiculous! with hands free the phone works perfectly.
in htc with the same problem they have found a way to disable it through hex editor.
it must not be that hard for a programmer
with root explorer and a hex editor.
wtf??? im in xda

look how many people have this problem
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15291
there must be a solution for us too.
I have the same problem. All stock and custom roms gives me this error. I was finally able to turn off the proximity sensor with the latest MIUI Rom.
A fix would be great thou.
If it works fine in Froyo I would say it is software. Have you tried CM7? you might be luckier.
It should be easy for a kernel dev (not me sorry) to disable it. It would be a matter of not compiling the sensor's driver in the kernel so it will never get loaded.
Maybe if you ask one of the kernel devs how to compile a working Kernel and disabled the driver they might do it for you.
If you are using a stock firmware then probably cf-root with proximity sensor hack would be the best option.
K.
EDIT: I had a look at the kernel menu and indeed the GP2A sensor is there and seems easy to not include. The bad news is that it looks like the light and proximity are the same hardware (or at least driver) so if you disable one I am sure you will loose the other one.
This is the name as it appears in the kernel menuconfig "GP2A ambient light and proximity input device". Please note that I never compiled an Android kernel (but will soon for fun) and my knowledge is quite limited.
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..
Hi!
My GNote hangs up/becomes non-responsive when I receive or make a call, everything else is just fine, but it can't be used as a phone now.
I have tried many roms but the problem persists, according to my observation and research the proximity sensor is the culprit here, and it is a hardware problem, which can't be fixed by software, I suppose. But there might be a way to disable the sensor at all, in which way screen won't turn off while making a call, but who cares if I can make a call. I found a couple of threads describing the same problem but with no solution.
Is there a way to do the trick, if not, can you please guide me write my own kernel to disable the sensor, I am not an Android developer but I do have a Master's Degree in Computer Science so I am pretty much confident that I can do it myself if given some pointers.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Have a good day, Regards.
have you tried disabling the screen off during calls?

Thank you sooo much, this did the trick..... Now I am wondering why I didn't think of that earlier.....
BTW is there any other way I could get rid of this problem completely, now my screen won't turn off during phone calls, causing unwanted operations.....
Thank you so much.....
if you have tried many roms then may be a issue with the sensor.. try consulting a Samsung service personnel
galaxy note N7000 freeze while during call 1000% solved
you just clean the sensor your prob will be solve 1000%
My Nexus 6 now goes off and doesnt come on during call I have to end the call to even see.
I just checked and it has been damaged. I have tried everything and finally thought is there a method by which i can disable it by Build prop or disabling drivers. I have tried all apps so i wanted a root level solution
Please devs help me out
FIX: Finally got the fix in benzo rom, in the call app there is an option to keep screen on during calls (only in newer builds from 25th may onwards). FInally fell in love with N6 all over again
This is very weird.
I have never noticed this kind of radio silence in any of the device threads, but on the most open phone of them all and google flagship was most surprising.
I just wanted to know any root kind of fix for priximity sensor, have googled and tried everything, just wanted some help from a dev
http://forum.xda-dev...-1-rom-t3069031
try that
I've seen a million threads asking for proximity sensor or hall effect sensor being disabled in various device forums and I've never seem one get a working answer
Exactly

I've tried everything, from apps to hardware disabler to prximity off lite and all that. Nothing has worked, the boggest problem is I am in a lot of conference calls and this is out of question while using this phone

tried that as well.
I think its damaged, hardware problem, jsut wanted to disable it completely
and FYI i dont have any screen protector
the kind of fix I am talking about is this

There's a proximity fix zip for this phone too, but I don't think it will help in your situation.
