First of all, sory for my english!
i am facing a problem with my galaxy advance proximity sensor, it does not work while in a call it does not shut my screen off. In the *#0*# menu at sensor tab at proximity it says : PROXIMITY : 1 when nothing is in the sensors way, and not turn the scrren green how it should do. Anyone have a clue about this ?
I find that note3 and S4 have this problem, and can recalibrate with ADB ussing this command:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
But in our phone, Prox_cal dont exist! I use italy 4.1.2 official firmware... Any idea?

I do not know the answer, but that command for Note3 and S4 is probably for those phones, maybe we do not have that files in those folders, maybe it is by different name.

Hi,
Have the same issue, too !
hmm, looks like a android 2.3 issue on that one....
The same here. Is there any way to do a downgrade to 2.2? The phone is unusable, I'll have to go back to my old Nokia!!
Also, at the same time, when I plug the earphones on the Nexus, it doesn't detect them and continues playing through internal speaker!! And I suspect that the light sensor doesn't work.
Hasta luego.
Nexus one proximity sensor problem
Hi guys i had the same problem with my phone
and I manage to fix it

and clean it with the a spray duster they sell in computer store
I clean the entire phone
put i back together and it was fix
thanks me if it works for you like that
You are lucky,, just opened my phone and cleaned the proximity sensor and light sensor with specialized electronics solutions i borrowed from work and nothing happened,,dont know what to do about it
RE: how to disable proximity sensor
hey there, this is my second post, THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! I was able to disable my nexus one proximity sensor using the hex edit method (after granting the app root access) and now a brick to be is no more. thank you to the poster who made the original post and the one who mentioned the way to give hexedit root access. my sensor definition was exactly where he said it would be. the name of course was cm3602 (lowercase, looking for uppercase found nothing) I was able to change hex position 0000323d from 32 to 00 , and poof, no more black screen after dialing or when receiving a call. a temporary solution I was using was to use a bluetooth headset.
Thank you all.
My proximity sensor seems to have stopped working (always gives a value of 0.0) as a result whenever a call is placed the screen goes off and i cant do anything at all, cant even end the call. This seems to be hardware problem, as cleaning the area is not helping.
Is there a way to disable the proximity sensor completely/permanently?
The only working way i found was using the "Hardware Disabler" app in play store and disabling /sys/bus/platform/drivers/proximity, but that makes the phone as slow as hell. How would I go about deleting this folder otherwise? Root Explorer is not allowing me to do this.
All the other solutions i found on the net do not help (using proximity recalibration, adding lines to build.prop, putting a script in init.d - Though perhaps I am not using it correctly).
Someone please help. The problem is driving me crazy.
Note: using CM9.0 RC2
Nobody has any issues with the proximity sensor on their phones?
And is there no actual way to disable it?
nobody here who can help?

Hi, last time I tried MIUI rom and iinm there is an option to disable the proximity sensor. But, if you doesn't like MIUI.. I am don't know any other workaround for it anymore.
Or try some different ROM to make sure if it is actually hardware issue or software issue.....
Use miui rom and press on dial and then menu...Again press on setting and Answer setting .. You will find there the option to disable proximity sensor..
Maybe this thread has been already mentioned on this forum. Have u ever had problems with making and receiving phone calls on your samsung galaxy s ? Maybe like screen turns black and freezes?
I've heard it's due to the proximity sensor, is that true? or could it be a hardware problem.
I've been looking solutions for this problem all over the internet but could not find any good ones.
I hope some of you have already solved this problem.
Please tell us how you did it,
Thanks in advance !!:good:
Problem Solved
Oh I finally found the solution on play store. You need to download Hardware Disabler and disable the gp2a drivers. Until now it works fine, i can make and receive phone calls. (It's possible when disabling gp2a drivers , your CPU performance can slow down)
Another option would be just to install your SGS 1 with the latest MIUI rom and enter in Call settings >> answer settings>> incoming call status settings and disable proximity sensor directly. This will not have any effect on your CPU performance.
I hope this well help some other users with the same problem :highfive:
hello everyone !! ) - need hepl to fix bug in the one mini 2 (kernel or sensor driver) problem with proximity sensor(capella CM3629): when phone in the poket (jeans , shorts, ow) and i have incoming call on the mini 2 play ringtone just one bottom speaker (tested many times - hardvareDisabler.apk help to off sensor (proximity) but sometimes phone is reboot .... so i writed to buil.prop = gsm.proximity.enable=false -too not helped)

It's a 'feature'. HTC built them this way. I thing it's something specific to stock rom.

Hi All,
My proximity sensor isn't triggering during calls (Possilbly at all?) causing me to accidentally put people on hold.
(very annoying! at least make a tone so I know I hit the button)
Is there a switch for that?
What's weird is that I don't see a HW test for the proximity sensor in the diagnostics screen (tapping on kernel version)
Edit -> settings -> system apps -> phone -> incoming call settings -> proximity sensor is ON.
Can someone whose proximity sensor is working download a sensors test app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool&hl=en
and tell me if that detects your proximity sensor distance correctly? (or whatever app you want, just tell me which one).
- Frank
Go to Settings - About phone and tap 5 times on Kernel tab. You will get into test menu. There you can to test and calibrate proximity sensor.

I don't see it. What is the test called?
What Rom are you running? I'm on 8.0.10.0
See pictures below. Test menu works on any firmware.

Just looked at mine and I have prox sensor as number 9. Sounds like you may need to flash an updated build.
I updated to developer rom and proximity appeared and was working.
I then re-updated to stable rom (8.0.12.0 i.e latest) and it dissapeared again!

You already have the answer you're looking for. Guess the sensor is broken in the stable build. In this case, you may have to wait for the next stable release or use an alternate ROM.

Confirm proximity sensor missing in 8.0.12.0
Unfortunately, it is also missing in 8.2.1.0 stable
On Chinese 8.2.3.0 and the settings are missing from the CIT list also ... with that said I don't depend on it anyways lol. Just checking things.
for some thick case the proximity sensors might have problem... need to reboot phone with case on to "register" the case thickness...
hi mi mix fans , I came through lot of applications,proximity sensor tests, procedures, secret codes etc . to get solution for "screen off during call and not on automatically" but i found the real solution in this is .. remove back cover which almost users use . , tpu transparent also and see whether it work during call ..yes,finally got solution. check yourself all test works properly and screen on during call when device is away from ear..if not ?? pls consider to clean sensor ..
Wanted to test it. I can see the test, but not sure how to test it. I still don't.
So I tried to the front microphone test to learn how to use these tests...
But it scared the s**! out of me. It's such a haunting noise! Is that normal?!
I'm on global stable, CIT proximity option doesn't show too. I think my sensor is bugged by my cover since when the device isn't covered the sensor works fine.

Yes, such an annoying noise.
i have same problem i just updated phone after proximity sensor not work why xiaomi not try before update this f*cking fw.

What I observed is after resetting when I tested it I came to know that sensors sensitivity distance increase up to an inch but starts dropping again as I move object in front of sensor 8 to 10 times and is reduce to 1 cm finally which is very less if you hold mobile in left hand ear but it works on right hand ear as proximity sensor is placed left of mobiles front side.I think it is a software problem which xiaomi should look in to.Sensor keeps on calibrating till it reduces distance to 1cm from nearly 1 inch that is 3 cms.This is very shameful for xiaomi that after so many years of experience they have not yet resolved this for Mi A1.
My proximity sensor also isn't working. I've tried to do this test we find on kernel tab, but I couldn't test it, it shows no options for me to calibrate or sth. Help me please!!
Same issue here. Phone just turns black, when I am calling people - difficulties to restart the display afterwards. Using Lineageos 16 - no chance to tab the kernel there. Dialing * # * # 64663 # * # * shows no results. Wandering, if this is a hardware or a software issue.
