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.

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

Hi
Does anyone know if it possible to get any s6 edge or s7 edge features on note 5 without unlocking Boot loader(no root) and how?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk
Dumb question, what kind of features do they have that the Note 5 does not?

The swipe for contacts, apps, news, or feeds and also you have media playback and other s6 edge or s7 edge futures.

I don't have that issue. If I did , I would look for a bluetooth device that isn't working correctly . Also , would look at how I hold my phone to my ear while on a call, could it be my cheek, or a finger accidentally touching the speaker icon.
That's where I would start , hope it helps a little bit.

Ok, now that I think about it , my gear s3 triggers speakerphone once in a blue moon. Hasn't happened in awhile , so I would try experimenting with the bluetooth on and off to see if you can isolate when it happens. The gear s3 can still connect via wifi.
