[Q] Broke my proximity sensor, is there a way to disbale it ?

I dropped my Moto X and suddenly, the proxmity sensor is not working anymore.
It is really annoying during phone calls where the screen stays off. I enabled the "power button ends call" option to circumvent this, but still, I cannot use my phone during call.
It there a way to disbale the proxmity sensor ?
Also, active display doesn't work anymore. Is there a hack to use the light sensor instead for the moto active display ?
Thanks

There is an app in the app store that will disable the proximity sensor. Just look for it.

[Help] Disable Proximity Sensor on Lollipop

using Candy's rom (lollipop) with multirom. my display was cracked few days back & now replaced with another one. proximity sensor causing some issues. it works but problem is that when I make a call, taking phone near the ear turns off the display. But never turns on until the call ends, whether I take it far from ear or press lock or volume button. I disabled the sensor on kitkat via xposed module. but xposed is not supported by lollipop. any solutions?

Set the lock button to end calls. At least then you don't have to wait for people to hang up.
That's what my wife did when she cracked her screen.

Issue with Proximity Sensor. (XT1052)

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.
