Hello. Can anyone help me in building a profile which turns off the proximity sensor at all times. Thanks alot
Sorry, I don't think this can be done with Tasker. All it can do is read the sensor status. It's not possible to disable it.

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.
Hi folks,
Is there a way to disable the proximity sensor? Or maybe set it to 0? My sensors aren't working. I confirmed it using the proximity sensor check (*#*#0588#*#*). Stock KF1 has it set to 0 by default, which is a temp fix until I get the replacement part from connexion2005 (he's awesome by the way).
Thanks
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.
Hello!
Is it possible to deactivate the proximity sensor? I know that ALL sensors can be deactivated in the quick setting panel, but I want just the proximity sensor to be deactivated, so the "always-on-screen", showing a clock and incoming messages, does also stay on when I put the phone into a transparent rain cover on my bike. Right now I need to push the on-button to be able to see the clock or other information, and that is something I'd rather avoid while riding.
Does anyone know a solution for this? An app or a patch maybe?
Nearly forgot to mention: the phone is running on LOS 18.1.
If you have root it's posible to do everything, though I am not sure how to help you...
What I know is that you will propably have to edit some tables on the system, maybe the system table. There is an app from the playstore that you can downlaod that allows you to modify some system tables(like global tables as well). Maybe if you play with that you may be able to deactivate the proximity sensor. The app is called SetEdit.
Hope this helps you, and in case it did, and you downlaod the app, could you please tell me if it is posible to modify the android properties table?
thx!
Thanks for your reply!
I should have been more precise when expressing my wish: I meant to switch the proximity sensor off while system is running and switch it back on later. The app that you pointed me to, reads as if the sensor will be deactivated at boot time and stay off until I reverse the change to the table and reboot again.
Basically, what I need, is an app that can switch the sensor off and on again without the need for rebooting in between, or an option in the system settings, that can be set within a profile: switching to profile A, which has proximity sensor on, switching to profile B, which has the sensor turned off, while all other sensors stay unchanged, would be a very good solution.
I don't know it that would be possible at all. On the other hand, there are "tasker apps", which can do "X if Y happens" or something like that. If such an app could "turn proxi sensor off when profile B is activated", that would also be a solution to my problem.
Do you know of any such app?
Oh. Yeah, that seems to be a very specific usage, and I don't believe you will find an app to disable the proximity sensor. Maybe you can develop that, it shouldn't be very hard, especially if you already have some knowledge of android development.
Good luck!
To my opinion the screen's on/off status should not always be determined by the proximity sensor, but by surrounding brightness instead, because the way it is now, you can not put the phone into a transparent cover, without the screen being switched off.
I agree that only a very few people will use transparent covers, and that the proximity sensor does have its advantages when holding the phone to your ear, but I also can imagine more situations where the screen wil be turned off by accident, when it rather should be kept on.
So, an option like
Code:
Use proximity sensor to turn off screen [ ]
Use light sensor to turn off screen [ ]
inside a system profile would be a great thing!
Hello guys, is there a way to disable the proximity sensor or mock it somehow? Some devices also have an option to disable/enable pocket mode.
Using the phone with a bricked proximity sensor is a bummer, because I can't use AOD, tap to wake, or display new notifications. I would be really thankful if someone could help me.
PS: I always use root, so there shouldn't be any restrictions that way. I also tried xposed and the sensor disabler module, but it didn't work on A11 nor A13.
Update: the sensor is probably not fully broken, it works under bright sunlight, but only under bright sunlight.
