My stock 4.2.2 HTC one seems to have a problem with the proximity sensor during calls.
The sensor seems to work fine in terms when covering with my finger or whatever but in day to day use it repeatedly turns the loudspeaker on during calls resulting in hardcore ear pain.
Any ideas before I go deaf?
btw - sometimes it turns mute on instead but that's just annoying rather than painful
Thanks in advance

Hi all.
I was wondering what the sensor is for.
Shouldn't it prevent the screen to turn off during phone calls ? If this is the case, mine is defective.
Thanks for the help
It should, do you have any problems when the display is on while you talk? Stuff like randomnly calling other people, turn on mute, hang calls, etc. If this happens then it's obviously defective and you should ask for a replacement
It should turn off the screen when you place your phone to your ear to prevent accidental phone call disconnect if you press end call touch button.
I.e., iPhone4 out of the box when was released was notorious to proximity sensor issues, it was a software bug on behalf of Apple.
I've noticed mine isn't as sensitive as my hd2, but then again, I haven't hung up on anybody yet either....
Hi,
It seems like my proximity sensor just randomly switches off during a call and I touch buttons with my face. I don't exactly know what's happening though, my phone is in the same exact position always when I talk. Sometimes it goes mute, sometimes it goes on speakers, sometimes both.. etc.
Any tips?
Thanks
when i answer or send a call and put my stock Gnote3 to my ear, the screen doesn't turn off. then my ear plays with the screen, touching buttons and sometimes hangs up on the caller. anyone know what i can do to fix this?
thanks in advance
Settings > Device > Call then make sure Turn off screen during calls is checked.
thanks for the reply...where's the Thanks button?
it was checked, so i unchecked it and rebooted phone. then went and re-checked it. it still won't always turn off when i put it to my ear
I seen this thread, Proximity sensor issue and solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568003
looks like i need to be rooted for that thread to work for me.?.
Yes
Blow on the speaker above the Samsung logo. The proximity sensor is under the shiny metal part. There might be dust blocking it. Hope that helps

My note is about 16 months old now and this is just the norm now. I have blown through the speaker with canned air, it fixes it for a day or too. Then the proximity sensor gets blocked and does it again. It just gets worse and worse I don't even bother anymore. I just turn it off with the power button when I am talking.
just tried the canned air, hope it helps! thanks fellas
I'll be on a call and the other person will suddenly be unable to hear me. This happens with stock and Pure Nexus (running on both elemental and shamu). It doesn't happen regularly. It hasn't happened in weeks, but yesterday it happened twice on one phone call and once on another. I can fix it during the call if I mute and unmute the phone on the display. When the phone mutes itself, the display control doesn't show that mute is active, only I after I press it and "activate" it.
I used to think it might have been my face pressing against the screen, but that can't be it as the screen is off while I'm talking. In order to fix it during a call, I have to turn the screen on first. Has anyone else had this problem?
I had this problem and found call screen lock in the play store (which solved it). It turned out I was somehow tapping mute with my face while on the phone after not tripping the proximity sensor...
It only happened rarely, but you can tell if you might be doing this if your screen occasionally wakes up while on the call without being pulled away from your face (the proximity sensor thinks it is not close to you face intermittently).
Allmost every time when I'm in call my mute button gets accidentally pressed with my face and my mic goes mute so the other party cannot hear me. Tested proximity sensor and all OK, but it happends so often that the phone itself is becoming allmost unusable.
Any others out there ?
Nope.. why not get some Buds ( in ear headphone )
with microfone.. for example:
apple, xiaome, meizu, jabe
well i think that phone should work fine without this kind of workaround
