Hello XDA, if I receive a notification (or parallel call) during conversation, screen wakes up and becomes active, so I touch all the buttons randomly with my face =)
Furthermore, proximity sensor stops working , anything a can do is only press power btn to turn the screen off.
That's very frustrating, how can it be fixed ?
Is this on OxygenOS 4.1.7 or on the experimental beta strand ?
Full stock OOS 4.1.7 no root TWRP whatsoever
Sounds like a really strange behavior of the ROM. You don't happen to have a thick screen protector on the phone screen as this can affect the proximity sensor? As I haven't used OxygenOS since 3.x I can't answer if it's suppose to wake up on notification or another call, but it does sound strange to me.
I have the same issue which started appearing several months ago that display turned on in a call so it happened that I hang up call etc...
I dont really know if this was a general bug after an older update in that time and that it got fixed after latest update. Didnt check it yet.
I think that this might be the Nougat fault, because when I was on OOS 3.5.4, the proximity sensor worked as it should. I have a feeling that Nougat caused the sensor to be weaker (you have to hold the phone very close to face).

my screen seems to randomly turn itself on and off during calls and I sometimes press a few buttons and even close the call. and it's a bit embarrassing to admit that my phone has a problem. does anyone have a fix for it? I'm currently on jpk
end calls should not happen
the proximity sensor automatically turns off the screen to prevent accidental touch to the buttons
it takes about 1/2 second to react
if you talk normally it should never light up for you to accidentally touch the buttons
but if you keep checking why the screen is on/off on/off
that will drive the screen / sensor crazy
it was like that for me the first day
i was rather annoyed that the screen always turned off, i wanted to disable that feature, but now that i got used to it i find it rather useful to prevent accidental drop calls
personally i browse and write notes a lot during a phone call to look up info and take down customer orders
so having the screen on/off automatically was a pain in the royal highness, but i found a great solution
switch to BT headset whenever i need to check for info and browse on the phone, then it wont go on/off automtically as it's not near my face
thanks for the info!
This is a very common problem caused by positioning sensor overriding proximity sensor when the phone is placed horizontally or close to it. So if you tilt your head during a call the screen will turn on and you could disconnect/place on hold etc. I saw this feature/feature was fixed for other devices by adding an option to disable positioning sensor in calls (changing dialer.apk file), but could not find anything for i9000

using Candy's rom (lollipop) with multirom. my display was cracked few days back & now replaced with another one. proximity sensor causing some issues. it works but problem is that when I make a call, taking phone near the ear turns off the display. But never turns on until the call ends, whether I take it far from ear or press lock or volume button. I disabled the sensor on kitkat via xposed module. but xposed is not supported by lollipop. any solutions?
Set the lock button to end calls. At least then you don't have to wait for people to hang up.
That's what my wife did when she cracked her screen.
I openned a bug report on MIUI forum, about proximity sensor:
http://en.miui.com/thread-6238262-1-1.html
When I play a Whatsapp audio, sometimes the screen go off even if I'm not putting the phone on my ear, and sometimes it wont go off even if I'm putting the phone on my ear. Same happen in calls, sometimes screen go off without putting phone on my ear, and sometimes screen keep on even if I put the phone on my ear. Screen protector isnt the problem, it isnt in front of sensor. Bug appears to be solved if Adaptive Brightness is on (but I dont like it).

I had this bug on oreo, but it got solved on pie, but the proximity sensor is still not perfect, android one is a joke!
Hello I've been happily using L.O. S 7.1 for three month on my XZ1C . But It's been a few weeks that the screen turns off to black when dialling a call, before I put the phone to my ear. It doesn't lit back unless I make a long press on the screen and activate the speaker, or the keyboard icon so that the screen stays accessible while phoning. It looks like a proximity sensor bug.
I've made some tests with "Sensor Readouts app" , and the proximity sensor seems to react normally.. So I've tried to use another Dialer app, or to reinstall the Stock Phone dialer app because it's a very uncomfortable issue. BUt no success so far... Is there a way to reinitalize the Proximity sensor and/ or the Telephone app on LOS 17 /1 ?
Thanks for any hints.
I am facing the issue with a sensor while making call after oneui2.5 update.
Sometimes, the screen remains black after the call disconnected. To wake up the screen I used (double tap or power button)
After a restart, it works good. But after some time it became laggy again.
Does anyone face the same issue?
I have a quite different issue with the sensor. My screen doesn't go dark most of the times even when the phone is close to the ear. I guess there's no sensor in this phone, it also uses front camera to adjust the brightness.
Yes, the same issue when close to the ear. I don't know about the separate sensor or camera sensor.
