Good evening, I broke my screen and put a screen from a working phone on mine and ordered a new screen to put back on the working phone, now both phones don't turn off the screen when making calls, everything's connected I believe I need to re calibrate it or set it up again, any advice on how I can get it working again thanks

Is it possible for the proximity sensor to go bad? When I was using my vivid, I had an otterbox on it, and I thought that was what was causing the issue. My wife wanted wifi tethering so when I got my Nexus 4, I wiped it, left wcx experience on it, and gave it to her. Now she's having issues with it too. Known fix?
Really how does a proximity sensor go bad, there's no moving parts!

I know it has only an on-off function it doesnt detect the distance so try putting your finger right on it in a call does it work?
I'll give that a try. It still works somewhat, I know the buttons will light up if you cover it for a couple seconds, just sometimes it'll shut off the screen during a call, sometimes not so much. I wonder if it's a rom issue

Use power button to end call in access ability settings.

Hi All have my Z a few days and loving it. So bought a cover today and and placed the screen covers on front and back. Went to make a call and there was no ringing sound when I was calling a friend. It was silent. They answered the phone but I couldn't here them. I put phone on speaker and there was no problem. I'm wondering is there a known issue with the z that causes this? I don't want to have to bring phone back. Thanks

Turned the phone off and back on it worked fine. Then it went again so I turned off phone and turned back on again and it started to work again. Seems it maybe a software glitch?

Most such glitches are corrected in software updates. Hold on to it till you update it. Don't yet leave it!
When I pull the phone away from my face to use the keypad or switch to speaker or end the call even, the screen doesn't turn on. I turned off just about all of the motion sensors in settings would that have something to do with/affect the proximity sensor?
Screen protector?

Don't have one at the moment.

Try factory reset. If I t still does it exchange if possible.

Is anyone else experiencing poor proximity sensor behavior during calls? Proximity works great during sensor tests, but fails to turn screen on/off during calls correctly. Problem is identical across 3 seperate Note3 devices I've tested and oddly I get the exact same issue on Galaxy Mega.

Mine works most of the time. Every once in awhile it flakes out. Same on my note 2 but it was very very rare on note2. I am possibly thinking it might be these cases with fatter lips I've been using since there is so little choice for a great case. My diztronics tpu is awesome but sadly it doesnt fit proper with wireless charging cover and I ruined it trying g to mod it.

I'm not using a case, screen protector, or anything. Exchanged my device and a few days later the proximity sensor is failing 100% of the time during calls. It works flawlessly for everything else...just buggy with stock dialer.

Maybe an app that is causing chaos. I had a speakerphone app bork my proximity sensor sensitivity.

Mine annoys the **** outta me, as soon as I make a call, phone in had, on table wherever it may be the screen turns off.
With this many people having issues with it, it might be an app that's causing it because testing shows the sensor works right?

I had the same proximity sensor issue on my first brand new N3. I think it was faulty from the start. when doing the sensor test, the screen would light up when you place your hand over the sensor, and stay light up when you move it away.
I even reset it to new a few times with the same problem. I got tired of the problem and did a warranty exchange. The new phone works as is. I also went to my local BB where they had a Samsung booth and tested all the N3s they had there. None of them had the proximity sensor issue. I believe it's a hardware problem.
Wow.
Man I'm having this problem also!
I had the same issue and requested an exchange from ATT. So far so good on the new one. Very frustrating issue!
I am having this same issue. Besides that and super high temps I honestly don't think this phone was ready to come out.

There's a separate setting in the phone app to turn off the screen during calls, and it's set on by default (I think). Could that be interfering with the sensor?

No, that's the setting to activate the proximity sensor during calls or not. Turning it off deactivates the sensor. Then you manually can turn your screen on and off during calls.

What else do you have installed? Any xposed mods? What FW version are you on? Have you tried it from stock? Just curious. I honestly do not have this problem.

My phone was also doing this. I realized that if anything was hooked up to my bluetooth my proximity sensor would not work when I put my phone to my ear.

Hi all. After swapping the screen for the second time on my Xperia Z I've noticed the proximity sensor seems to be stuck on. I've done the following:
1. Checked all connections and refitted sensor
2. Checked for obstructions
3. Rolled back to 10.4.x and ran the proximity configuration. It fails with error 98.
4. Replaced the sensor
None of the above has fixed it. Occasionally the sensor will register an 'on' proximity but then.it's just stuck on. I've seen other reports of this issue but no fixes.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

If there's any way to reconfigure the sensor under 4.4.x please let me know. I don't want to have to keep rolling back to 4.3 to test.

4 month late bump? I can't seem to disable it either. If I start the phone with the proximity sensor attached but the back of the case removed it's fine (it tests ok). As.soon as I put it back together it works for half an hour and then is stuck on.

Ok, so I disassembled my xperia z one last time and for no good reason.the proximity sensor works again! Very strange. I must have taken it apart and put it back 10 times at least before that! Case closed.

Back to square 1 after using it for an hour. Detects first proximity sensor action and then stuck on and stays black during calls. Can't hang up and have to restart.

And now found a strange fix... Hit the sensor in and it fixes itself. Oh well.

2 weeks and it's a paperweight. Touch screen wouldn't respond to any touches, although the s pen still worked and could work the phone.
Waiting on ATT to send me a replacement next week.

what happened?
The touchscreen just stopped responding. Wouldn't work for almost 2 hours. Shut it off and let it sit and it eventually starting working, but it's sporadic, as some times I have to press the screen 3 or more times to do anything.

Nothing worked except using the s pen. It's like it over heated and shut the touchscreen down. Either way, I'm getting a replacement. I'm really kinda pissed about this.

Test Touch Screen by dialing *#0*# play game to warm it up and then try to test it
:good:
Like I said, I woke up after 12 hours without being touched and it wouldn't work. When it does work, it registers touches instead of swipes, and is almost impossible to do anything.
