does anyone experience proximity and ambiant light sensor issues mines wont work. first i thought it was broken and bought a new sensor replaced it and it still wont work. the headphone jack and speaker works ok but not the sensors anyone? I also tried the sensor reading apps to see if its working. proximity wont show anything and the light sensor gives me between 4700-5000 lux but wont change no matter what light condition any help i cant even make a phone call without headphones anymore
What kind of rom are you running?
If you replaced it then its not a hardware issue it software then

well ı've been using pa v2.54 before and flashed lots of roms in this 3 months i even flashed official rom went stock but still no luck :/
Really strange even with a new sensor and stock rom isnt working maybe the socket isnt good maybe a problem with the motherboard i dont know i thought it might have been a rom problem maybe the people here had a similar issue and they might help i wish you luck and i hope you find a fix

thanks if it was due to the socket im guessing that the speaker and the headphone jack would also not respond... but yeah its a minor issue but really annoying
So I realized if I unplug the sensors the reading will still continue bounce between 4500-5000 lux so im guessing its not an issue of the sensor itself there should be something else... Right?.. Please back me up can be it be caused by the drivers of the sensors ?
And i found this (last post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446005&nocache=1
Yes that picture in the last post could be it it could be a motherboard problem like that just be careful if you dont know what your doing

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!
Does anyone know of a way to remove the proximity sensor drivers or shut it off completely my screen just goes black during a call and i need to use the keypad during calls i have tried all the proximity apps on market and it has no effect, have tried calibration etc odin firmware updates to the point i killed my phone just got it back from repair and was told it needs a new chip to rectify the problem.
I have spent weeks going through forums for a solution and i know on my brothers sgs 2 it has a setting in the menu to turn it off.
This seems to be a common problem with no resolve so im looking for someone to resolve this problem and make alot of people happy.
We all no As these phones age this will be more and more common.
Techies get ur teeth into this or even software writers make An app n earn some cash,
This would b a great ego booster for someone to say i solved that when no one in the world could.
Thanks...........looney

Mh? Why not pressing the home button during call.
Screen is enabled then...
Anyway MIUI got this option to switch it off.
Don't know if this setting is available in Stock ROMs.
screen should go back on when you move your head out of the ~5cm sensor radious. if it is not happening there are two possibilities:
- something wrong with firmware -> reflash phone with pure unrooted samsung firmware and check if problem persist
- someting is wrong with proximity sensor -> use warranty and send it to service center with proper description of the problem
Thanks for the replys the home button won't work as the proxy is up the spout had it checked the chip is blown, when u press the home key won't work as the phone is trying to find the proxy then eventualy it will crash and force close.
No software update will do it as its a hardware fault unless it turns it off so will have a look at the one you suggested.
There is def a stock version but i fear it is only on the s2 to turn blank screen off il check my bro's firmware, till then keep the suggestions coming in thanks....

Here is a possible solution. Check the + 3.7 volts at this point, if there is no tension, then feed it thither with a jumper

Thanks for the tip. Where can i get 3.7 V from? (which part of the MB)? Is there a way of hardware disabling the sensor? the software testers report 0.7 mA leakage on a sensor (which is faulty anyways)

If it is only proximity sensor then you can disable it simply by going into settings>display >brightness> un-tick automatic brightness. And also disable power saving mode too.
Thanks evrest yeah have tried that but unfortunately that dosnt work, though using a headset does what i could do with is the same coding used in headset mode to be the same in handset mode

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!

Even me I could not find ear proximity sensor apk or sth like this file
I think the best way is flashing your phone
Flash it by Flash Tools, including wipe data, cache, apps log and system
Guys I can also notice that when I lock my phone .. The backlight does not turn off
Can someone send me the link to the ftf that they flashed (rooted/unbranded) .. And I'll try to flash it and report back if it worked

I had the same problem, I replaced the Ribbon with buttons that connects the screen to the motherboard (there are sensors).
Gyroscope and accelerometer now work.

I have replaced that ribbon as I had a problem with the screen. The other ribbon cable (the one which goes to the magnetic charger) what other function does this perform?
I am having Ear proximity problems and gyroscope and compass problems, i have read about the calibrate issue but haven't got the option when i do the *#*# thing. I am o2 firmware in the UK with no case or screen protector. Phone well out of warranty so it will be down to me to fix.
Proximity sensor problem arises when it is too sensitive, and the problem of the gyroscope is located on the belt connecting the motherboard to the screen. The tape of the magnetic charge unless nothing else does not. Sorry for my language but I'm not from England.

Thanks for the prompt reply, i have replaced the motherboard to LCD tape, someone before me broke the screen and someone had a go at 'repair' and damaged the cable. The other cable has been removed, the charging one, not sure what the other bits are on the cable though, i haven't got a magnetic charger so not too worried at the moment but looks like there is more than the charger, see this ebay one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Charg...950?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4acce98916
Right flashed a new generic firmware ending .534 which allows the calibrate menu. When calibrating gyroscope or accelerometer i get a -5 error when trying the proximity sensor i get -99 error.
Dont worry about the english i understood you!
