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.

proximity sensor unstable working

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?

[Q] Proximity Switch off

Hi -
My screen was not getting on after making the call so I wanted to check the service menu. I typed *#*#7378423#*#* and accessed the calibration menu and selected Proximity sensor menu.
It showed Autoscreen Brightness On and Proximity Switch OFF. I switched Autoscreen Brightness off (other wise the calibrate option is grayed out) and tried to calibrate the proximity sensor. I got the error -99 and the message that it cannot be done.
1. How do I switch on the Proximity sensor on
2. Will the calibrate option work if the phone is factory reset (there is a message which says - Pls factory reset the phone before calibrating).
Thanks in advance.

I'm tired of this bug too, got first one replaced (yellow tint, black screen + backlight on, proximity sensor) but I still have this sensor bugged, I have to stop the "power button ends call" option because of that!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I found that the switch gets turned on when I place my finger near the Proximity Sensor :silly:
But the screen still does not dim when answering the call nor does it come on again once the call is finished..

[Q] how to disable proximity sensor?

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

HELP! Auto Rotation Problem!

hi guys. i recently replaced my cracked screen and after that i noticed that the auto rotate function isn't working properly. some times it's ok but sometimes like when i go to camera, and when I come back to menu, the screen is Locked on landscape mode and the only think I can do is to lock the device and unlock it to make the screen portrait.and after that i cant change the screen orientation att all unless i restart the phone.
Mostly the screen has a light that only noticeable in the quite dark place when the auto screen light is on after turning off the screen.
i had some problems with ambient light sensor and proximity sensor as well.
i once wiped the data i was thinking maybe it's a software problem but nothing changed
is it really a hardware problem? is the board or any parts damaged during the replacement?!

Same problem Here
I have the same problem, but it is with ambient light sensor and the proximity switch, when i go to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) the proximity switch does not show up, when i press ambient light sensor it says ¨This device does not support this function¨.
This phone i just bought it a few this ago, i tried reseting customization, wiping data, flash another rom, Root... everything and no answer.

If u wipe and flash and still have the problem it is possible you have a hardware problem. Check all of ur water damage indicators to see if they are red. Also you could tell us your model.
