Since the last few nightlies (on 253 now), I've had troubles with my phone staying black after a phone call. I've read a few posts on disabling the proximity, but I test the sensor and it is working correctly (using z test). I really don't wish to arbitrarily disable the sensor knowing that it is working.
Does anyone know of another solution?
Thanks!

Hey guys, so the last couple of times I've made calls I noticed my screen would stay on during the calls. My ear would be pressing buttons during the calls causing havoc.
So I did a little research and found the hidden menu to test the proximity sensor, which is *#0*# on the dial pad. In doing so if your sensor is working correctly, at the sensor menu, the screen well turn green if the proximity sensor is covered. Mine doesn't, do I just assume my sensor went out or is there a procedure I can do to get it working again?
Hey, I'm using Moto X 2013 Xt1052 running Lollipop 5.1, My proximity sensor is not working, I'm sure it's the proximity sensor because I used test apps and I can see it's detecting proximity all the time at a distance of 3cm.
Obviously, my biggest problem with that is that my screen goes dark when I make a call (Because the proximity sensor think the phone is near my ear). Trying to use the power button to turn on the screen didn't work so I set the power button to hangup calls (Otherwise I had to wait for the other side to hang up!).
I think the Proximity sensor has got some Hardware defect, Please help me telling a way how to disable the proximity sensor so that while placing a call the screen won't go off.
I have the same problem on my phone. It happens not always but sometimes during calls. Or when I hear a long vocal on whatsapp putting the phone on the ear.

It's very hard to disable it in software. The best way is to open up the phone and physically remove the sensor from the PCB. It's easy to chop it of with a flat screwdriver.Problem solved.
Hello XDA, if I receive a notification (or parallel call) during conversation, screen wakes up and becomes active, so I touch all the buttons randomly with my face =)
Furthermore, proximity sensor stops working , anything a can do is only press power btn to turn the screen off.
That's very frustrating, how can it be fixed ?
Is this on OxygenOS 4.1.7 or on the experimental beta strand ?
Full stock OOS 4.1.7 no root TWRP whatsoever
Sounds like a really strange behavior of the ROM. You don't happen to have a thick screen protector on the phone screen as this can affect the proximity sensor? As I haven't used OxygenOS since 3.x I can't answer if it's suppose to wake up on notification or another call, but it does sound strange to me.
I have the same issue which started appearing several months ago that display turned on in a call so it happened that I hang up call etc...
I dont really know if this was a general bug after an older update in that time and that it got fixed after latest update. Didnt check it yet.
I think that this might be the Nougat fault, because when I was on OOS 3.5.4, the proximity sensor worked as it should. I have a feeling that Nougat caused the sensor to be weaker (you have to hold the phone very close to face).
Hi guys,
I am on latest stable miui 10.4.6 Xiaomi.eu and i am experiencing this bug that makes the proximity sensor go Crazy. If i am listening to some audio on telegram or whatsapp by putting the smartphone near my ear, the screen goes off and never go on (Just sometimes). But i found out that if i switch off adaptive brightness and then put It back to automatic, the proximity sensor fixes himself e starts to work again. I am going Crazy. Please, if you can help me would be really nice!:angel:
Hello I've been happily using L.O. S 7.1 for three month on my XZ1C . But It's been a few weeks that the screen turns off to black when dialling a call, before I put the phone to my ear. It doesn't lit back unless I make a long press on the screen and activate the speaker, or the keyboard icon so that the screen stays accessible while phoning. It looks like a proximity sensor bug.
I've made some tests with "Sensor Readouts app" , and the proximity sensor seems to react normally.. So I've tried to use another Dialer app, or to reinstall the Stock Phone dialer app because it's a very uncomfortable issue. BUt no success so far... Is there a way to reinitalize the Proximity sensor and/ or the Telephone app on LOS 17 /1 ?
Thanks for any hints.
