Faulty proximity sensor galaxy s gti9000

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

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

[Q] Problem with screen rotation (sensor)

Hello,
I have strange issue with my Xperia Z. I used to use many android based phones, so i believe Z's behaviour is incorrect. How it works - i.e. I have my Z laying on the table, when I launch some app supporting screen rotation i.e. browser, mail etc., it automatically rotates to landscape mode. When it's in landscape mode and I am lifting it up (keeping the device in portrait position) it doesn't switch into portrait mode at all or it's very very delayed. I haven't found any calibration settings in the software, so have no idea what I can do in order to let the screen rotate smoothly after physical position change.
Quick update - both orientation sensor in portrait mode and gyroscope are giving wired results. Can it be calibrated somehow?
Any advice appreciated!
Best regards,
MCC

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* there is calibrations.
This is only available in 4.2.2

I have 4.1.2 and the menu is there - i could calibrate gyroscope, but accelerometer calibration was unsuccessful - Error Code 1.
Anyhow after calibration of gyroscope result is the same - horizontal orientation sensor is shifted to the right ;( PLS see attached screenshot.
Best regards,
MCC

I just tried it and it's good on my phone,i don't know if it's a hardware issue.
You try another firmware maybe it's a software problem and maybe if you can update to 4.2.2

Face hangs up phone

HI,
Twice today while on my phone, my face went to close to the screen and ended the call. Is there a setting a feature to not allow this from happening?
Thanks
David

Your proximity sensor should prevent this. You can always test it. Plenty of threads on it.

Xperia Z1 C6902 Flash-light Issue

Hi Guys,
I've experienced that Z1 has a very low flash-light when compared to other phones like nexus 4. I've tried many flash-light applications but even though issue isn't resolved. When capturing image using camera app the flash-light is giving much brighter light but if i use it as torch the flas-light is very low. Did anyone experience this issue? Please help.

I am using this flashlight app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.smalltech.ledflashlight.free
It goes like this: after i start the app the led is powered on, then i push the power button of the phone so i do not accidentally type anything on the touchscreen (this way the phone is locked).
Here comes the interesting part: when i push the power button in order to wake up the phone (while flashlight is still working - camera led on), for half of a second, the camera led gets brighter than in the normal use of the flashlight app, then it goes back to the initial state (less bright). :-/
What is happening?
Has anyone found a flashlight app for Z1 that provides more light / uses the camera led to its maximum brightness capabilities?

TeslaLED. Same developer as Nova Launcher.

Same here. I think they put the flash light to close to the lens of Z1 and that why the pictures capture to much brightness in wrong time.

It doesn't use max brightness to avoid overheating. If you want a bright flashlight, buy a Surefire. Relying on a phone's camera flash is silly.

Ok. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

Flash not working with camera

Hello guys, I have a problem with the flash led not working properly with the camera. About six months ago when I was on vacation, my phone went on the pool with me, and since then the flash led is very low dimmed while taking pictures.
The strange thing about all, is that the flash led works with full power if I use it with the flashlight apk that comes pre-installed with a mod Rom, but not with any downloaded apk from the store. With the camera and with a downloaded flashlight apk I only get a very low dimmed light.
I know that the Led works, I know that the camera works, so what can be problem? Do I have to change the camera module?
