Proximity sensor problem

Hi!
Since week or few days more i've started to have problem with proximity sensor during calls. After covering the sensor it doenst turn off the screen. After timeout the screen is black, but after uncovering the sensor it doent wake up the screen.
I use the latest Galnet Miui weekly, and in factory test on miui the proximity sensor works perfectly. I dont know what to do to fixed that.
any ideas?

Does the one have a proximity sensor ? Screen remains on during call

As question
I came from a note 2 which had proximity sensors when I was on a call the screen turned off but when I took my ear away the screen came back on
I have noticed with my one the screen remains on and will turn off as normal when it goes to sleep (have it set to one min) when I finish the call I have to press the on switch to end the call
This is my second handset from 3 which is going back as there is screen problems tbh I can't remember if the same happened on my first
Thanks

Just cover the sensors up and see if you can get the back and home buttons to light up.

I also had the same issue on my One. Thought it was hardware related but then I was digging deeper into it (issues with other HTC devices etc.). Try the following: hold the phone near a bright light bulb or something and make a call. In my case, the phone worked as it should be: screen on during call and by covering the light/proximity sensor the screen turns off. Also check the sensor functions with an app from play store - remember, hold your phone in front of a bright light source. I determined the sensors are working fine but only above a certain light-sensor-threshold so it had to be a software issue. Technically, the proximity sensor is a part of the light sensor. If you are noticing the same behaviour, download the app Rezound Prox Sensor Calibrator with your rooted device and play with the threshold values. As far as i remember, my values were 16 and 28 or so. Can't look after it because my One was stolen last weekend

I've tried an app and the sensor is doing nothing ;( I'm not rooting as the are sending me a third handset
Looks like my sensor is not functioning tried your suggestion with the light also nowt ;(

My HTC One light sensor was working fine..But i noticed when talking on my phone in a very dark area the Proximity sensor was not working..Apps i tried showed a working light sensor but the proximity sensor would not work..Phone screen kept turning off with out even putting the phone near my face..
Found this app in the market and its revived my POS sensor in my phone..Settings that got my phone working properly was PS1_CANC(low threshold) set to 25 and the PS2_CANC(High Threshold) to 1
Figured this would be a worthy bump for anyone with Prox issues and don't have the option to return

If you set the Sleep to Auto Sleep the screen will function correctly. I noticed mine was not working right meaning I'd have to turn it back on after a call as well so I changed to Auto Sleep and it seems to have fixed the issue. Hope this helps!

Seems to only have worked temporarily it was working a few weeks ago so may it has to do with an app or setting I changed.

Proximity can't turn off screen when covered

I installed a couple of apps for this, like Smart cover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smart.cover, and Proximity Smart Cover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielling.proximitysmartcover . Basically I want when the proximity is covered (case closed), the screen goes off, and then goes on when it's uncovered. These 2 apps can do the 'wake' part alright (wake screen when the proximity is no longer covered) but they can't seem to turn off the screen when it's covered. I granted both admin permission. Here are some clues:
_ My proximity sensor is working alright (checked through hidden menu, and it does turn off the screen when proximity covered in-call)
_ Tap tap app can work (touch/wave 2x to lock, same to wake)
So any idea why those 2 app can't work? Thanks in advance.

I use Smart Screen on my Note II with the following settings:
Basic - everything blank (no ticks in the boxes}
Prox - Blank
Sensor - Blank
Start/Stop - Disable in landscape
This works for me and I have not noticed any battery drainage problems.
Please note: I have stock 4.1.2 and no lock screen enabled (my phone never leaves my sider.
This is not my ideal setup as the screen will immediately sleep if i hapren to accidently go to close. I need to pull down the notification menu at the far left or right of the screen. I have tried to play with the delayed reaction settingsand have had contact with the developer about the situation.
I am however happiest that as soon as i open my wallet case the phone is ready for use.
Quick and easy with one hand

Tried calibrating both in hidden menu and in app, but still there. But using another app, Smart screen off pro, fixed it. Guess it has to be with a different mechanism.

not proximity sensor
I have had the same problem on my 4X but the problem isn't the proximity sensor. I have tried various other apps including orientation and brightness locks. These haven't worked either, I have tried to change lock screen settings and screen time out but these haven't worked. Does anyone have any other suggestions or solutions to this problem?

I use "smart screen off pro" with no problems, all is working as expected....

what lock screen, brightness and permissions settings do you have on your phone other than what is changed within the app?

OK, I dont use a lock screen, never tested if its working...
My settings (checked):
Basic:
- Start on Boot
- Hide notification messages
Start/Stop
- Disable when in Landscape
- Enable only when in Launcher (not necessary, if u want it allways to turn screen off leave unchecked, I want Screen on in Apps, so I checked it)
Vibration:
- Vibrate when screen turned off
Thats all...

Screen rotation issue

Hi,
has someone else problems with the screen rotation?
Actually I like to use macdroid to control when screen rotation is enabled. It will activate based on where I am and what app I use.
So the rotation is usually portrait fixed but when I use youtube ie. the screen will rotate so I can use landscape there too.
The problem is that either by using macdroid or even when I enable/disable rotation too often it won't rotate anymore.
I have to restart the device to have it working again.
Can you confirm this? Or is this just my device?

Nothing wrong here. Turned on the auto rotate, went to youtube, played a video in portrait mode. Then rotated the device and the video went into landscape.

Try turning rotation on and off several times and then see if rotation still works after you turned it on.

Well, this sounds like app specific problem. Don't use macdroid for such tasks and u're ready to go.

As said it even happens when I press the tiles button too often. So its not a problem of the app.
But maybe the device is broken. I'll try to reset it and see if the problem exists if a few more people can confirm its not a problem for them I guess.

No issues whatsoever with screen rotation here. Sorry.

Yes i had the same issue! Each time the problem appear i have to reboot my phone !
I install phone tester on play store, and it seems that accelerometer stop working (it wait for data)
Moreover, i had the problem in Safe Mode (power on Button -> long press on Shut Down -> 'Do you want to restart in Safe mode' -> Yes)
I think if your screen didn't rotate in safe mode, the problem is not a third app.....
For my phone i will bring it to warranty tomorrow

This is another issue which looks to me like a software bug in the system itself.

You can try something else: on google map, is the compass working?
On my previous nokia 7 plus, both compass and screen rotation didn't work properly.
I just change it this morning on the shop i bought it, and the compass is working on the Nokia 7 Plus i had now

Hardly I have to calibrate often. I guess my device is broken so I will return it too.

The new one i obtain this morning already have the last version of android (8.1 instead of 8.0 for the first one), i think the second one was not from the same manufacturing batch.
I hope you will obtain a new phone or a quick reparation!

I got my replacement phone and after some testing I can say that the initial device was faulty. The new one does not show the problems mentioned.
