[Q] Call sensor

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!

[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

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!

HOW to fix proximity sensor delay during call in .205 firmware????

where is the fix for this trouble???
in .201 FW sensor work normal. in 4.1 work normal.
ON .205 and 207.
Proximity sensor reacts slow to turn on screen when phone is moved from ear
1 sec 2 sec .
it just infuriates and annoying, I can not stop talking immediately after the removal of the phone from his ear.

I think you can change the delay in build.prop.
"#mot.proximity.delay=25
#ro.lge.proximity.delay=25" or something like that

Mine is worst, sometimes it takes even 30 sec. or more to wake up [emoji33]
I though it was just mine, cause i don't see many people complaining about this..
Cheers.

The bad news is that none of the firmwares .205 jr .207 does not fix the problem

Many people suffer from this problem, in my opinion it is related to the base software.
I have tried most of the custom and stock Roms for LBL device and the all have this problem.
If you Google this problem it is well known but Sony have no solution other than go to a Service Centre for them to replace the proximity sensor which does not work either.

I just found an xposed module that can disable proximity sensor.. I'm using it now.. I have to manually turn off the screen during call but at least i can use the Phone!
Thank you.
Cheers.

[Q] problem with compass and gyroscope

Hello,
After replacing the screen of my xperia Z1 in a mobile store,the Z1 doesn’t find the compass hardware and the gyroscope doesn’t work yet. Is their a cable missed or some hardware is breackdown?
Thank you for help

I have also had same problem after my lcd change. I have solved my problem. Can you check and tell all the sensors are not working or only the compass and gyroscope.
Sent from my C6902 using XDA Free mobile app

After having my lcd replaced I noticed my sensors stopped working. Well actually compass has stopped working completely but gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity, and light sensor sometimes stop working, and after a reboot sometimes they work for some time.
Also I noticed that in antutu benchmark app it says not supported for not working sensors, except for once when it showed me the right model for the magnetometer.
It'd be very helpful if you told us what you did so we can try the same

I also had the same problem which you described. In my case compass was the main problem. In my case Compass won't show any reading and other sensors will also stop working once I checked the compass.
The compass was in the main flux cable. Once I have replaced the cable my compass and others sensors also started fine. I suggest you to replace the main flux cable.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your answers.
The main cable has dimension of the Xperia Z1 ?
The cable picture in ebay store :

Thanx

Yes that was the cable. Compass present on the opposite side of the keys area. You need to change the cable.
