the proximity sensor not working right for me
when i take a call if i put my phone into my face the screen is off (this is ok) and if i put my phone away from my face the screen should goes back on but it is not. the screen is off for a long time until the people i call with is hang up the screen just on. some time the screen is off for a short time.
Has anyone had any issues with the proximity sensor on the Nexus doing the same thing?
please help me what should i do, now i can't hang up my phone or pick up my waiting call or adding the number etc. because the screen is off while i having a call
i have try to wipe my phone and flash my phone many times but it still the same
Strange. Try checking to see if the proximity infrared led is still flashing after it goes off. Check by starting a call and looking at your phone through a webcam. You should see the proximity light flashing. Then hold it up to your face so it goes off, then check it in the webcam again to see if the proximity light is still flashing.
There could be a hardware problem with the light not coming back on, or not being bright enough or something...
Thank you very much
so what did you do?how did you fix this becouse i have the same problem?
Hellooo:
First of all sorry for my english.
I have a problem with my new Optimus Black. When I make a call sometimes the screen gets black and sometimes it gets black when I put it in my ear (in this case the functionallity is normal). In the first situation I can't get screen on again. I think that is a proximity sensor problem but maybe a software problem. Maybe it needs a recalibration. I search for calibration tools but not luck. What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
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 everyone for a long time it happens to me on my Redmi 9, that as soon as I start a call or receive a Whatsapp message the screen remains black, to activate it I have to pass my hand over the proximity sensor, I tried to activate the function in touch but this creates another malfunction as to unlock the screen I check "Do not cover the area of the headset", has anyone ever tried how to solve?
Thank you
I have the same problem
