any one else have this issue with Xperia Z ?
i can make calls or recieve calls and then the screen goes black when put to my ear as it should, but most of the time [not all the time] when i finish the call and take it away from my ear it wont light up so i can't end the call. i have to wait for the other person to hang up, and even then sometimes it wont light up.
they hang up the phone call doesn't end so it just stays black and i can't do anything.
i can restart it by pressing the off button and volume up at the same time, but i don't want to have to restart my phone every time i make a phone call.
has any one had this issue?
Could be software issue, ie a third party app, for example justshake and similar apps have options to alter proximity sensor activity but I stay away from altering them. The only time I have a similar issue is with modded Skype but a brief press or two of power button restores the screen so not a big issue.
You should try in service menu if your sensor is functioning properly.
A small workaround to end call without having to use the screen is to enable ens call with power button press which is in accessibility settings of the phone, so don't need to wait for another party to hang up or to reboot your phone

Proximity sensor
Mine started doing the same thing. After reinstalling and checking if it might be a software issue, I did some research and came across this: talk.sonymobile.com/thread/126533?start=0&tstart=0
I've taken my phone in, and awaiting a response. (The phone is just over a week old, so it just fell out of the "automatic RMA" period).
I put a skin on front... Now having issues... Is there a way to just disable it...

I had the same problem and did like the post #31 on the linked thread says :
Press firmly on the proximity senson with your thumb (located beside the notification led).
I have a screen protector and did not remov it and it now works like a charm.
Hope it helps.
xperia z. I have the same problem after installing the spg glass protector ver1. Since the ver2 has a cutout at the proximity sensor, I do not like it and therefore keep on using the ver1 without the cutout. I prefer to disable the proximity sensor instead of having a pit on the screen surface. Just add the line:
gsm.proximity.enable=false
to the end of the file build.prop located in /system, reboot, and the sensor will be disabled.
The way to activate the screen during a phone call is to press the power button twice.
Hope this help.
Explanation/please

Can i ask how do i reach this settings. I tryed different data searches via phone and with PC (ofc with mobile connected). But i dont seem to find this system folder no matter where i look. Maybe you can make a tutorial for me or just say where to look. Thanks
You need to be rooted. The build.prop file is in /system.
An easier way to add the property to your build.prop would be to use build.prop editor - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
I will just say - BE CAREFUL when editing that file. If you edit the wrong thing, you can stop your phone booting.

I've tired all these solutions above but unfortunately I'm still facing same problem and it's really frustrating
My phone isn't rooted so I can't disable proximity sensor
If there is any other solutions ?
Install proximity smart cover from market. The screen will then come on when you take the phone away from your ear.
In settings:
Enable device admin
Turn screen off - never
Turn screen on - 0 seconds
Then go back and start the service

I was going crazy with this sensor problem, and tried all sort of thing including resetting my phone multiple times. The suggestion you mentioned here worked like a charm.
This may have been answered elsewhere , but I am coming from an S4 and I was wondering why my Droid Turbo when I pick it flashes the lock screen.
I have moto display turned on for notifications and I like that, I do not have the the wave/hand proximity turned on.
The phone will slide in the car seat and the lock screen will come on I pick it up and it flashes on. Then it goes on and I keep moving it around it will then flash back on again. Or every time I take it out of my pocket it comes on.
I heard something about Moto screens breathing or something.
thanks!

Moto Actions controls that. I actually like it because I can check the time just by waving my hand over the phone without having to hit a button. You could try disabling Moto Actions to see if that helps.

All the moto actions are disabled, I only have active display on to show notifications. The one where you wave to turn the screen on is not enabled
thx

Did you just turn off the settings or disable the app?

Here is what I see happening, if you turn on Moto Display to flash notifications, each time I just pick the phone or move it the lock screen and time flahes.
If I turn off Moto Display, no notifications flash and when I move the phone no lockscreen, no nothing.
Should be a way to see the notifications flash in and out, but not react to just moving the phone by flashing lock screen
thx
There are two separate apps in play here. Moto Display and Moto Actions.
Moto Display is what you want to keep active so that it will show you on the lock screen when you get a message, etc.
Moto Actions is what happens when you move your hand towards the phone.
If you go into your apps settings and manually disable the Moto Actions app. It will prevent the phone from flashing the lock screen when it detects movement.

I know,. all the Moto Actions are turned off, I only have Moto Display on and have chosen the apps I want to show.
Phone sits on the desk, for a few minutes screen black I reach over and pick it up lock screen comes on
I just restarted and no change
thanks
Do you have "Approach" turned off under moto actions? Cuz that's exactly what it sounds like you have turned on.

Mine does the same thing it may be because the twist for camera is on? all other options are turned off (battery Saving)
Every time I move the phone the notification screen lights up but I noticed if you cover the proximity sensor on the top of phone it doesnt light up at all
Its part of the active display. It comes on when the phone is moved. I do wish there was a setting for it to only come on when you have a notification, but there isn't a setting for that that I know of. I know a lot of ppl like this "feature," but I do miss just the simple notification led.
i do not have approach or twist for camera on at all. I only have the notify on notifications.
phone sitting there , black screen just lift one side up and the screen comes on
Moto Actions/Moto Dispaly
Interesting thread because it illustrates the various preferences we all have in interacting with our phones. I think it's pretty neat that Moto developed these options despite the fact that I've turned off some of the features.
For example, I don't need it to sense my eyes, so I turned off that. I don't need it to turn on each time I wave my hand. It was turning on with shadows/sun/clouds while driving and anytime I'd move my arm. Don't like that.
What I do like is the intermittent notifications as well as the screen turning on if I move the phone. What we do with the notifications is pretty cool too. I like my Turbo Droid.
Cheers!

Seems to be some confusion in here.
Moto Display uses two methods to turn on the screen. It uses the phone's accelerometer to tell if you move the device. If you move the device at all, Moto Display will turn on. Only way to stop this is to turn off Moto Display.
The other method uses the front IR sensors to detect if you wave your hand in front of the screen. This method can be turned off within Moto Actions.
The screen constantly flashing (especially in the car) is annoying, but it has almost no battery impact.
That's what I was looking for, so it's the accelerometer making it come on as I don't have the hand activation turned on, I just have the moto notifications in Moto display turned on

Here is the right solution
Go to settings > App > In all app tab select these two app 1) Moto Display 2) Moto Action, now disable these both app and now the phone wont flash clock..
If you have RR Rom installed I think there is an option to turn on and off the hand wave and/or the "pick-up" sensing.
I found out how to stop the clock and battery circle when I move. You set it by just clicking the Moto app. And turn it off.
It's not done I'm settings. You have to open the app from the home screen.
Trust me, the thing blinking every time I moved when the screen was turned off was driving me nuts!
Hi
I am having problem with sensors and Moto actions.
I found out that active display wasn't working when I put my hand near the phone like I have done for near a year. When I am in a call if I take off the phone from my ear it never turns on the screen so I can't finish a call. If I shake the phone while active display isn't working it doesn't open the camera app.
I found out after a call everthing start to work perfect for a while but then stop to work again

Download CPU-Z app and test the sensors. Maybe is a firmware issue and all you need is a factory reset.
After screen replacment the proximity sensors don't work for some reason. So now when I get a call I can't do anything, It's just a black screen. I can't use the phone or even put it on loudspeaker. I'm looking for some kind of software solution but can't find any. I tried going though some settings on the phone but I had no luck.. The only thing I can do is end calls with the power button :/ Could anyone help? :fingers-crossed:
There's a very small piece that goes on top of glass screen in between LCD where the proximity sensors are, if not installed your issue may rely on that.

Do you have more information on the piece that's needed? I have the black gasket on, and am still having the same issue. What components are needed for the 2014 Moto's proximity sensor?

use this app to identify name of proximity sensor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox&hl=en_GB and then try a sensor disabler like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff hope it helps
I got a Sony Xperia z3c d5833. Yesterday I installed an app named pocket lock. The main feature of this app is to lock the screen when you cover the proximity and light sensor. Now the problem is just when I Uninstalled this app, the proximity sensor permanently switched ON automatically. And I can't view my screen during calls. I replaced the proximity sensor kit and also re-installed the firmware and went into stock mm6.0.1 from kit kat 4.4.4. Also installed the lollipop 5.1.1
But invain and the problem is still there. My proximity sensor kit which I replaced with another Xperia z3c is working fine in that phone.
I need help....
There is a problem with the display glass on the Z3C separating from the sensor, with an always ON sensor the result. Google and you'll find it.
You can test it in the service menu. It will show as ON, and go OFF if you lightly press on the top left corner of the display.
So you might have a hardware problem. Sometimes just glue the display corner down works.
There are also a few fixes that disable the sensor. You really do not need it. It is a battery saving feature.

All was going fine and fantastic until I installed this fckn app pocket lock ? there's no need to change the proximity sensor kit now because I already have changed it and the most interesting thing is that the faulty proximity sensor kit doing fine in another Xperia z3c. To assure myself that new kit should work fine in my phone I flashed it thrice with three different ROMS but nothing worked. Now I'm wondering how a software can damaged a phones motherboard. It means there's only two things left for me to change, Bootloader and motherboard. D5833's bootloader isn't allowed to be unlocked so therfore I can't upgrade the bootloader, now the only thing left is motherboard of my phone. .
