This is a very annoying problem i never had with Samsung!
The proximity sensor doesn't work well and the screen doesn't turn off properly on calls or WhatsApp calls! Am i the only one who experiencing it?!
I have the same problem with the proximity
sensor in my mix 2s. You should check first in your call settings if the function is actually activated, after that you could take a look in the CIT menu * # * # 6484 # * # * (input via the dial pad) where you can test several sensors.
There should be no hardware proximity sensor but a sofware based implementation, like in Mi 11:
Xiaomi Mi 11 does not use a physical (hardware) sensor for proximity, but an algorithm studied by Elliptic Labs which uses speakers and microphone

Good to know it's a known problem since it's been impossible to use the phone... i keep turning things on and off while I'm on calls, it's annoying as hell
Same. That's really the only issue I have with the phone. I noticed that if I talk and the screen doesn't turn off , I just move it away from my head and bring it back. Looks like a software issue rather than hardware.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here, but there's something that keeps bothering me.
On the left side of the LG there's this 3(?) LED lights or something..
Does anyone have a clue on how they work, or if they even work?
Well, they are not LEDs, they are sensors. Two of them are obvious, one is proximity sensor and the other one would be light sensor. Don't have a clue about the third though...
I'm secretly hoping the third to be a notification LED of some sort
Thanks though

- Accelerometer sensor
- Proximity sensor
- Gyro sensor
eh, what?

That makes no sense. The gyro and accelerometer have no need for visual input, hence highly(!) unlikely that they are what you say they are.
i suspect the first 2 from the left are both proximity sensors, it could be to increase reliability.
the 3rd is the light sensor.
The proximity sensor is based on an IR diode and an IR receiver, just "film" your O2X with a camera and you should see the IR LED flashing.
Thank you guys
Still think they should've put a LED in it though.
Hello guys! I have a Nokia 8 Sirocco and my problem is that i broke the display (especially the top part of it) and i want to deactivate my proximity sensor because i can't use my phone in calls, the screen is off in calls (i would like to put it in speaker mode when i'm driving).
I couldn't find any useful option in settings & i also tried the secret codes in the dialer (*#0*# and *#*#2846579#*#*) but i think the secret codes are only for testing the sensors, not for deactivate them...
If anybody knows how could i deactivate my proximity sensor in calls (preferably without root because i still have warranty for it) please reply.
I have been having a Proximity Sensor issue for some time. The solution to this is so the touch screen doesn't work.
Recently bought galaxy m31 and found out that i have to press my phone real hard on my ear to screen to go off during call. I never faced such issue with previous devices. So i searched on google and found *#0*# to check sensor working or not. Sensor is working correctly but there is no fixed place of sensor, seems like whole upper part of touch screen is used as sensor and there is no actual optical proximity sensor inside this phone. It's also clearly written Virtual Proximity sensing. Anyone facing same issue on this device or any other phone which uses this technology and any fix for this?
I have also the same problem. Thanks, at least you dig deeper "virtual proximity sensor".

It doesn't have any separate proximity sensor, rathor the front camera works as a proximity sensor. Try covering the front camera properly.
Hello,
does anyone know how the virtual proximity sensor works?
AIDA64 and other apps say it is a "Ear Hover Proximity Sensor (ProToS)"
The same sensor should be in the Galaxy A51 as I found here
http://stools.gleamolabs.com/sensors/devices/1698
I know that it has no more real infrared proximity sensor.
Just accidentally stumbled over this post. Can you tell me how this ear hover proximity sensor performs? From the name I'd guess it only detects proximity if an ear is actually covering the sensor, and pocketing the device or waving your hand over the sensor will not trigger it, correct?

when I first heard about this phone it sounded like a fantastic device, that impression keeps getting eroded.
