[Q] Proximity Sensor issue in Slim

I just flashed Slim 4.2.2 build 3 and I'm having a problem with my face dialing numbers while I'm on a call. I don't see in Developer Options or anywhere where I can adjust the proximity sensor. Is anyone else having this issue?
can you see that screen is off when on call, with a mirror, if needed.
dirt or sensor fail can be a problem.
phone explorer app in google play will read sensor and let you know if it is working correctly.
sent via carrier pigeon, jungle drums and smoke signals.
I'll download the app and see what happens. I noticed the screen was dark when I'm talking on the phone.
Thank you.

Screen wakes up during call upon receiving notification (or second call)

Hello XDA, if I receive a notification (or parallel call) during conversation, screen wakes up and becomes active, so I touch all the buttons randomly with my face =)
Furthermore, proximity sensor stops working , anything a can do is only press power btn to turn the screen off.
That's very frustrating, how can it be fixed ?
Is this on OxygenOS 4.1.7 or on the experimental beta strand ?
Full stock OOS 4.1.7 no root TWRP whatsoever
Sounds like a really strange behavior of the ROM. You don't happen to have a thick screen protector on the phone screen as this can affect the proximity sensor? As I haven't used OxygenOS since 3.x I can't answer if it's suppose to wake up on notification or another call, but it does sound strange to me.
I have the same issue which started appearing several months ago that display turned on in a call so it happened that I hang up call etc...
I dont really know if this was a general bug after an older update in that time and that it got fixed after latest update. Didnt check it yet.
I think that this might be the Nougat fault, because when I was on OOS 3.5.4, the proximity sensor worked as it should. I have a feeling that Nougat caused the sensor to be weaker (you have to hold the phone very close to face).

[Bug] Proximity sensor bug in Android Pie with last security update (march/19)

I openned a bug report on MIUI forum, about proximity sensor:
http://en.miui.com/thread-6238262-1-1.html
When I play a Whatsapp audio, sometimes the screen go off even if I'm not putting the phone on my ear, and sometimes it wont go off even if I'm putting the phone on my ear. Same happen in calls, sometimes screen go off without putting phone on my ear, and sometimes screen keep on even if I put the phone on my ear. Screen protector isnt the problem, it isnt in front of sensor. Bug appears to be solved if Adaptive Brightness is on (but I dont like it).

I had this bug on oreo, but it got solved on pie, but the proximity sensor is still not perfect, android one is a joke!

Background Hardware Use (Mic/Cam)

Hi,
I seem to be having trouble with background hardware services (specifically the cameras and bluetooth mics):
1. Bluetooth headset calls through messenger apps like viber or whatsapp loses use of the microphone around 1 minute into a call (like being muted). I have to unlock the screen and switch back to the app to get microphone use back.
2. The background video recording app (SCOS) loses control of the cameras (both front and back) and cannot use it (maybe cannot instantiate?) around a minute after the screen is turned off. Switching cameras or restarting the app is the only fix.
I have already disabled the Battery Optimization for the concerned apps, plus as many services as I can find, but still the problem persists. The only solution is to keep the screen on, which nullifies the point of using a headset and a background video recorder.
This seems to be connected with Android P's new privacy settings
Anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Proximity Sensor Always on After certain cases

Hi guys,
I am on latest stable miui 10.4.6 Xiaomi.eu and i am experiencing this bug that makes the proximity sensor go Crazy. If i am listening to some audio on telegram or whatsapp by putting the smartphone near my ear, the screen goes off and never go on (Just sometimes). But i found out that if i switch off adaptive brightness and then put It back to automatic, the proximity sensor fixes himself e starts to work again. I am going Crazy. Please, if you can help me would be really nice!:angel:
