my touchscreen got cracked and i had to install a new screen assembly and probably the new screen has some problem with proximity sensor or while installing the proximity sensor got covered by the adhesive finally the proximity sensor shows up as always ON. i want to disable this completely. so how do i do this in z1. iam using the new kitkat build. the gsm.proximity.enable=false in build.prop isnt working. hardware disabler app dosent scan anything in / directory. and ive tried using xprivacy to block phone app from accessing the sensors it wont work either..as soon as i make a call the screen goes off the only way to get my screen on is when the other caller hangs up and the call has completely ended.
someone help me plz

I am having same problem, proximity sensor isn't working properly, once screen goes off, can't drop the call. Is there any script or app which can disable prox sensor completely. I am using Android 2.1 rooted phone.
Thank you very much in advance.
same problem
Same problem here my proximity doesn't works, if I call or I attend call screen gets black
None of the keys works at this time. I found an app in market called 'proximity screen off' but as its an app It eats ram & it needs to run anytime in background I need a permanent solution.
Somebody have any idea to disable this sensor using
Any scripts through terminal? Or ...

I have the same issue I already put some spongy tape above the proximity sensor but it's not perfect. I always press the the display with my finger an inch below the left upper corner of the phone after a call and the screen is back.

I used Proximity Sensor Finder app from market to test my sensor.
my search does not turn the screen turns off, How do I close a proximity sensor?
I'm also having some troubles with the proximity sensor. It works randomly (specially in the dark) and sometimes after calling or VOIPing I have to flick the phone or turn off/on the screen to be able to hang up.
Is there an option to tweak the sensitivity of the sensor?

Hi Guyz,
My friend dropped his nexus one on the floor and from then on he is facing a weird problem. When he receives a call, when the sensor is turned on, the screen never comes back and it remains black. The only option is to pull out the battery and i suppose the drop has made proximity sensor faulty. He is not a rooted user. Is there any menthod to disable proximity sensor without rooting ? If not how can i fix it after rooting ? Any build.prop changes ?
Thanks,
karthik

hey Karthikus , I know this is not a new post, I would like to know if you solved your friends's problem, I have exactly the same, I used a couple of apps to disable the proximity sensor but still no luck, by the way I have the cyanogen mod 7 in my nexus now. the phone is a beauty, but its kinda annoying to have to remove the battery after a few calls, also I'm using a bluetooth headset, wich kinda minimizes the problem, but still not happy. please let me know , or not, I'm planning to build a disable sensors app myself in case I can't fixit. oh, and I tried all the other solutions I could find in google, like cleaning the sensors, (I dismantled the phone already) and enabling other ways to bring the screen up using other methods like trackball press or menu press. no way, still there. so please let me know. if still relevant.
thank you.
I gave my phone to the service center because the CPU got damaged along with the screen.
After that the proximity sensor doesn't work properly. Whenever I call someone it switches off the screen and I can't wake up the screen. I gotta wait for the other person to hung up the phone. I deleted my APDS9702 driver to disable the Proximity Sensor but still it dosen't work. Any solutions?
After screen replacment the proximity sensors don't work for some reason. So now when I get a call I can't do anything, It's just a black screen. I can't use the phone or even put it on loudspeaker. I'm looking for some kind of software solution but can't find any. I tried going though some settings on the phone but I had no luck.. The only thing I can do is end calls with the power button :/ Could anyone help? :fingers-crossed:
There's a very small piece that goes on top of glass screen in between LCD where the proximity sensors are, if not installed your issue may rely on that.

Do you have more information on the piece that's needed? I have the black gasket on, and am still having the same issue. What components are needed for the 2014 Moto's proximity sensor?

use this app to identify name of proximity sensor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox&hl=en_GB and then try a sensor disabler like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff hope it helps
