Hi there I was having a problem with the call sensor on my epic that awakes and dims the screen when im on a phone call. when i place a call the screen either goes black and i cannot access the dial pad at all or the screen stays awake even when putting the phone to my ear. Just wondering. Anyone else have this issue?
i had the same thing happen 2x , reboot cleared it up.

I always seem to touch the "end call" button with my cheek when I'm calling someone since my god damn screen wont turn off when I'm in-call.
Anyone else experienced this ?
depends on my experiences, the screen turn off when u r in call after (5-10 sec) coz the sensor of screen in covered thought in call just in foryo 2.2 the screen turn off directly( this sensor located in the upper right corner of screen in x10
So if your screen not turn off all the time when in call is active ,so you need to check the sensor it's work or not
i think the is software to check all the sensor and bluetooth,wifi....etc named benchmark in the market try to download it but first check ur screen after 10sec when u r in call and check the sitting ok
Hi - The proximity sensor disables the screen - you can test that it's working by going into the service menu and checking it.. it's Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back.. Then go into the service tests menu and check if it works... if it's working in there, then I suspect that you may be using a task killer and it's interfering with the workings of your phone.. ditch the task killer, it's a waste of resources anyway..
I have this problem as well & I know the sensor is working because I went into test mode & ran the test. I have no task killers installed & the screen stays on during a call. The screen shuts off at the set screen timeout interval but the sensor doesn't seem to do anything, except in the test mode.
On other phones like the N1 & IPhone 3GS if you cover up the sensor the screen will shut off but with the X10 it stays on.
I have this problem to! If anybody knows something please tell us.
Me too, may because Firmware bug?

no this sensor responsible to check in call and turn off screen but i guess there is problem in firmware (BUGS) coz if there screen not turn off the battery will drain via (2-3)H of call !!! not possible
The sensor disables the screen ...
It doesn't turn it off. Your screen will turn off after your normal screen time out.
Easy to test, ring someone then cover the sensor with your finger and try pressing end call. It is locked so won't end the call. Remove your finger and press the end call. Call ends!
Your right!!!
Strange way to do things IMO because it's a waste of battery leaving the screen on. I still think the sensor software is buggy because I've been in calls where I accidentally hit end call with my face .
im running full stock everything for starters.
When i am in a call sometimes up to my ear or speakerphone the screen will go black and i wave my hand in front of the light sensor and nothing works. The screen stays black. I like having the lock button hang the phone up so i want to keep that option on...
Just wondering why it is doing this, thx.
Its a thing to save battery usage,
do you have a case on it?
from my experimentation, the sensor is somewhere at the top, left of the power button when the phone is facing you.
prehaps your hand, hair, or case is covering it causing it to turn off - as it should
it thinks your in a call and you dont need to look at the screen.
When I call my voicemail and go to put in my pin the screen flickers on an off. I know you have an option to keep the screen on but that will obviously kill the battery more. Anyone else having this issue?

Your probably getting your hand up to close to the sensor near the top of the screen triggering it to turn off because it thinks it's close to your face.
Hi, anyone have issues with galaxy s8 when making/receiving calls ? My S8 was pre-ordered and on the first day of usage im faced with this issue, when making call or receiving phone randomly lights on display (once) and genlty randomly vibrates (as you press home button or nav button), then im take away phone from ear and put it back to ear display turns off, sometimes it keep turned off as normaly but sometimes it lights on again and vibrates, so i have to do previous steps or if ignore that issue than display turns off after some time and when im take away phone from ear to end call phone is locked and display won't light up until press lock button. Also im noticed that when im lock phone or even take it in hand (fingers touches both curved sides of display) phone also gently vibrates and turns from AOD to lock screen, this issue is also randomly. Some times AOD screen suddenly goes bright and than fades like it should be. After two weeks of chatting with samsung and store support im was send it to "service", they tested phone and after 10 days im received phone with status "no problems detected, software reflashed" but issues still not gone. And im can't replace it with new one because store refuses to replace it and says that they don't replace devices with software issues. Now im stuck and don't know what to do.
P.S. in *#0*# menu proximity sensor ADC values randomly keep changing even if nothing is in front of sensor, values are between 79-125 and when completely put finger on sensor values is 16368
Same issue here. Not sure why.
same for me too, international dual sim version s8
I have little bit different issue related to light sensor. My phone doesn't turn off the screen and locks in a pocket or if I close light screen by hands.

I have the same issue (also the oversensitive home button issue too).
I have a similar issue. But my screen never lights up. Neither during a call or when on the desk, for example. But during calls it sometimes vibrates as if I hard pressed the home button even though the screen is still off and I haven't pressed anything with my face, nor have I received any notifications. It doesn't seem to happen once every minute either (some phones notify you of every passing mine during a call).
It's not a big deal for me, just kind of curiously annoying.

Check in settings on ambient display, pocket mode, etc. Or maybe a cache wipe and reboot will solve.
Like Settings-Display-Screen Mode
-Keep screen turned on/off
Thanks to Samsung and Consumer Rights Protection Centre, together we forced store to replace phone. It was a factory deffect, so anyone who has similar problem im advice to replace phone.
I have problem with my s10+ exynos.
When calling and the phone is on my ear, the screen turns off.
However when moving my phone away from my ear the screen stays off during the call.
I have to push the power button to wake the screen up.
With my s7 edge the screen used to turn on when I moved my phone away from my ear when in a call.
When dialing *#0*# for the test menu's, clicking the sensors button doesn't show any proximity sensor at all?
I removed the screenprotector and the issue happends with both case on and off.
When recording sensor activity with the app Androsensor, the generated csv clearly shows that the proximity sensor goed from 2 to 0 and back to 2, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Also booting in safe mode and factory reset doesn't resolve the issue.
Am I missing somthing in the settings?
Is anyone else running into this issue?
I contacted the shop where I bought the phone and they told me that it's very likely to be a defective phone.
So I will send the phone back and once they have confirmed the issue, they will send a new device.
same thing happens to me
Update - it stopped happening on my phone all of the sudden. Now it is working fine.
