[Q] Disable proximity Sensor

Hi...
Does anyone knows if there is a way to disable the proximity sensor on a Milestone??? or better yet.. recalibrate it..
I have replaced the glass after having smashed the old one.. and now the phone always think the proximity sensor is activated..

my stone,too .
anybody help us? please!!! i lov my stone!

So, ur phone is thinkin' that sensor activated? If that has mean only in dialer, try installing this program: myLock phone tools and set there "Onscreen Accept", "Onscreen Reject" and "Touchscreen lock", that should help u.

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.

It's a normal. Maybe comming update solves it. It's only saving your battery

i have seen this one before, turn off automatic brightness, that solves it

search?

How to Disable proximity 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.

[Q] proximity sensor slow reacts ,when i CALL . in 12.1.A.1.​205

When you call when phone taps from the ear, the screen is still black 1s.
On firmware .201 this was not observed, the screen lights up immediately.
There is a solution to this problem?:crying:

Do you use a protection case or a screen protection ? Maybe it's cause of problem.

It's because of the firmware not a screen protector
Wait for the new update
It might fix it

I used a screen protector who cover up sensor and i had many problem. Now, with my screen protector intended on the place of sensor i have less problem.
Maybe it's a firmware problem too, where did you see a new update ?

Proximity sensors not working interferes with active calls. Fix?

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
