Yea this happens to me too. I just use Hardware Disabler to stop the proximity driver. So the screen never turns off in a call until the screen time out. And you can turn it back on by pressing the power button. Keep in mind though, that app makes the phone laggy...it's annoying at times, but less annoying then waiting on people to hang up or leaving them a long voicemail when they don't pick up

Turn on the proximity sensor
The proximity sensor on V20a is disabled by default. you can enable it by going into the secret menu and your problem will be solved.
Dial 3845#*880# ---->Device Test ---->All Auto Test Menu-Full --->ALC/Proximity Test --->Enable the proximity sensor here
Done

Proximity can't turn off screen when covered

I installed a couple of apps for this, like Smart cover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smart.cover, and Proximity Smart Cover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielling.proximitysmartcover . Basically I want when the proximity is covered (case closed), the screen goes off, and then goes on when it's uncovered. These 2 apps can do the 'wake' part alright (wake screen when the proximity is no longer covered) but they can't seem to turn off the screen when it's covered. I granted both admin permission. Here are some clues:
_ My proximity sensor is working alright (checked through hidden menu, and it does turn off the screen when proximity covered in-call)
_ Tap tap app can work (touch/wave 2x to lock, same to wake)
So any idea why those 2 app can't work? Thanks in advance.

I use Smart Screen on my Note II with the following settings:
Basic - everything blank (no ticks in the boxes}
Prox - Blank
Sensor - Blank
Start/Stop - Disable in landscape
This works for me and I have not noticed any battery drainage problems.
Please note: I have stock 4.1.2 and no lock screen enabled (my phone never leaves my sider.
This is not my ideal setup as the screen will immediately sleep if i hapren to accidently go to close. I need to pull down the notification menu at the far left or right of the screen. I have tried to play with the delayed reaction settingsand have had contact with the developer about the situation.
I am however happiest that as soon as i open my wallet case the phone is ready for use.
Quick and easy with one hand

try to re-calibrate proximity sensor in hidden menu just in case. i had some issues with it turning on & off the screen in-call, re-calibration fixed it.

Tried calibrating both in hidden menu and in app, but still there. But using another app, Smart screen off pro, fixed it. Guess it has to be with a different mechanism.

not proximity sensor
I have had the same problem on my 4X but the problem isn't the proximity sensor. I have tried various other apps including orientation and brightness locks. These haven't worked either, I have tried to change lock screen settings and screen time out but these haven't worked. Does anyone have any other suggestions or solutions to this problem?

I use "smart screen off pro" with no problems, all is working as expected....

what lock screen, brightness and permissions settings do you have on your phone other than what is changed within the app?

OK, I dont use a lock screen, never tested if its working...
My settings (checked):
Basic:
- Start on Boot
- Hide notification messages
Start/Stop
- Disable when in Landscape
- Enable only when in Launcher (not necessary, if u want it allways to turn screen off leave unchecked, I want Screen on in Apps, so I checked it)
Vibration:
- Vibrate when screen turned off
Thats all...

HELP! Auto Rotation Problem!

hi guys. i recently replaced my cracked screen and after that i noticed that the auto rotate function isn't working properly. some times it's ok but sometimes like when i go to camera, and when I come back to menu, the screen is Locked on landscape mode and the only think I can do is to lock the device and unlock it to make the screen portrait.and after that i cant change the screen orientation att all unless i restart the phone.
Mostly the screen has a light that only noticeable in the quite dark place when the auto screen light is on after turning off the screen.
i had some problems with ambient light sensor and proximity sensor as well.
i once wiped the data i was thinking maybe it's a software problem but nothing changed
is it really a hardware problem? is the board or any parts damaged during the replacement?!

Same problem Here
I have the same problem, but it is with ambient light sensor and the proximity switch, when i go to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) the proximity switch does not show up, when i press ambient light sensor it says ¨This device does not support this function¨.
This phone i just bought it a few this ago, i tried reseting customization, wiping data, flash another rom, Root... everything and no answer.

If u wipe and flash and still have the problem it is possible you have a hardware problem. Check all of ur water damage indicators to see if they are red. Also you could tell us your model.

Broken proximity sensor

Well, after an accident, my Nexus 6 was dropped to the ground.
And because of that, there were some cracks on the screen.
It is still functioning and usable, but the proximity sensor is no longer working.
The spot in the screen where the proximity sensor is located, it is badly cracked/scratched.
Because of this, during phone call, the screen goes blank and there is no way I can turn it back on.
Sometimes, I need to do something during phone call, like pressing the keypad button.
Is there any solution or workaround to this via software / app? Because I don't want to spend any money replacing the screen.
Probably 3rd party dialer app which can disable the proximity sensore?
Or toggle the screen on / off using volume button ...
Or any other way ...
Thank you.

Disable proximity sensor

Hi,
I own a Redmi Note 9 (MIUI 12.5.1.0 (RJOEUXM)) and I have a problem with the proximity sensor.
I can't tell if it's the same problem as everybody (due to MIUI) or it's due to some 50 cm fall on a wooden surface (phone inside original silicon cover).
My question is this:
How can I disable this sensor, if I don't have the option in the 'incoming calls' menu?
Is there another way? A key sequence or code or something?
Thanks for sharing info!
PS
Behavior of problem:
1. When phone ringing at incoming calls I don't get the full screen anymore. I have only the short version of incoming calls on the top of the screen.
2. When answering the phone, my screen goes dark and can't see anything, can't bring the light back on, double tap or main right button won't wake the screen up.
3. In the CIT tests, I get 0.0 reading on the sensor. Only in one position, with the front camera in full sun, I get 5.0
4. When the phone is locked, double tap on screen does only a quick flash to show the screen and then goes back dark.
Pocket mode is disabled.
