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%

This is a great question as I ran into the same exact problem. My issue started after I downloaded the "de Blob" game which allows you to "calibrate" the sensor based on the orientation of how you want to hold the phone during accelerometer based play. After doing so my auto rotate would turn at awkward times and I found that other games didn't respond appropriately. I tried going back and "re-calibrating" by laying the phone flat but that didn't work. What ended up working for me (as I could not find for the LIFE of me where the "calibrate" feature was in the settings) the "Bubble" app which is basically a level app that tells you if a surface is level. Once I calibrated in the Bubble app, I no longer had the issue. Needles to say I no longer use the accelerometer to play "de Blob" and have emailed him to let him know of the issue. (I haven't gotten a response) Hope this helps. I will be looking forward to other ideas on how to re-calbrate the sensor in case this happens again. I'm sure there is a easier way.
yea i tried the bubble app out and now my gsensor is not working at all no matter what direction i put it in the gsensor does not respond
Really? Sorry man. Worked for me. You may need to start from scratch by wiping your phone and reflashing your ROM
The same problem
Hi are you have some solution. My G-sensor didn't respond too.

They recommend you to mahe "8" signs with your phone in hand (twist it in all direction) because the sensor recalibrates that way. This is othe official advice.
Calibrating with the bubble app should work too. If not - alt+w
I have got the G-Sensor.
From Recovery
backup
Alt+W - delete all
and update to CM last stable
No joke, try shaking your g1 around kind of hard, it might be stuck. Reset it again after that and see what happens, worth a shot.
may sound daft, but have you tried this solution?

it is a quick fix for auto rotate issues, not a permanent solution, but it may help as auto rotate is accellerometer based, as are all the apps you're trying to use
if it works, thanks go to MikeTaylor00, not me, i'm merely a messenger

hey senaia, is this a proven method? Thanks =)
Hello there xda!
I have had this problem with my galaxy S for quite some time now but since I still haven't found a solution I turn to you!
Here´s the thing, whenever I make or receive a call on my phone the screen blacks out. It stays black until I yank out the battery.
Sometimes the screen comes back when the call ends but this is more the exception rather than the rule.
If I got my headphones/headset in, the screen does not go black, so I try to always have them plugged in.
My thoughts are that something is wrong with the proximitysensor in the phone and is blacking out the screen, I got an app that show all sensors and the values didn't change when I covered the sensor.
I have rooted my phone several times with different roms so when this problem occured I tried all kinds of different roms to see if it would fix the problem.
No stock roms or other roms have worked so I assume its a hardware fail but for whatever reason I cant help but think that its more likely to be a software issue.
I am currently running darkys 10.2.2 rom.
If you got any questions that could help you come up with an answer, don't hesitate to ask
EDIT, Solution!
For anyone with the same problem, I FIXED IT!
I ordered a new earpiece on the internetz, installed it and now the phone works perfectly!!
The earpiece actually has both the headphone jack and the proximity sensor and the light sensor on it, so replacing the earpiece replaces all of those.
Hope this helps someone!
Hey dude, i dont know how you can fix the proxmity sensor if it is broken,
however, i have heard of other people with the same problem.
And they solved it with an app called ProximityScreenOff wich is downloadable form market.
atleast you wont have to yank out your battery everytime you get an call!
Hope this helps!

Tried some different settings but couldnt get it to work.. Screen still shut off during calls
Thanks for the try though! Might have to order a new proximity sensor and see if it fixes it

LOL, i was just ABOUT to post this EXACT same solution then read your post. I had the same problem and other problems that wererelated to the network, dropped calls, black screen after calls begins etc. and installing an earpiece from an T959's took care EVERYTHING. I'm not sure how this earpiece fixed the network problem. If somebody knows and would like to enlighten me, that's be great!
Maybe this thread has been already mentioned on this forum. Have u ever had problems with making and receiving phone calls on your samsung galaxy s ? Maybe like screen turns black and freezes?
I've heard it's due to the proximity sensor, is that true? or could it be a hardware problem.
I've been looking solutions for this problem all over the internet but could not find any good ones.
I hope some of you have already solved this problem.
Please tell us how you did it,
Thanks in advance !!:good:
Problem Solved
Oh I finally found the solution on play store. You need to download Hardware Disabler and disable the gp2a drivers. Until now it works fine, i can make and receive phone calls. (It's possible when disabling gp2a drivers , your CPU performance can slow down)
Another option would be just to install your SGS 1 with the latest MIUI rom and enter in Call settings >> answer settings>> incoming call status settings and disable proximity sensor directly. This will not have any effect on your CPU performance.
I hope this well help some other users with the same problem :highfive:
Hey guys,
I've had this issue intermittently on my S4 Active but my wife has it constantly on her regular s4. The keypad won't stay on during calls when you're trying to use an automated phone system. It's like the proximity sensor gets confused about how close you are. I've read a couple posts on different forums with other people asking the same question but nobody seems to have a solution other than disabling the screen off during call feature. Any guru's here know anything that could be helpful? I just put the Hyperdrive ROM on my phone and have noticed it more since the software change.
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

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.
