I there any settings or something to adjust proximity sensor? I was trying to turn off screen covering sensor with thumb, but.. no effect.
Does it need any setting or my phone is faulty?
I noticed the same thing on my phone today.
The proximity sensor doesn't work if you've switched off the Automatically adjust backlight option in Settings>Sound & Display>Backlight. There doesn't seem to be any way around this as the proximity sensor doesn't have its own option.
Are you in a call? You need to be calling/receiving a call for it to work.
I agree, I think you need to be in a call for the proximity sensor to work properly.
For me it works fine. And i don´t hade automatic backlight on.

Click to expand...

That's interesting because I can toggle my proximity sensor (whilst in a call) by toggling the automatic backlight. That option must be linked to something else as well.
Screen goes black
I do have the same behavior, when I make a call the phone's screen goes black automatically so if I need to press any key have to press send to get my screen back, then use the keypad, nonsense, is anyone having the same issue ?
for me, the proximity sensor doesn't work at all. I have the automatic backlight setting and yet it still doesn't work. any idea why?
SP300
I just found the solution, I have got the screen protector on "The Original HTC SP300" and is causing the screen to go blank when you do a phone call, If a remove it a little bit from the top left corner and make a call works as spec.
Hi everybody.
I have problem with proximity sensor. When I make a call, the screen immediately goes black, and the device no longer responds to any button (not even the power button on top). The any way to get the screen back to life is by removing and reinserting the battery.
Is there any solution to the screen not goes black during call??
I’m using cyanogenmod on HD2.
hold the phone's light sensor under a bright light. It is a pain, but the only thing that works for me.
Recently, my phone has been having a problem with the proximity sensor during calls. When I finish a call, or want to look at my screen, the screen does not turn on by itself so I need to press the home button for the screen to light up. This is very annoying! I even turned off the option "Turn screen off during calls" (which is supposed to leave my screen lit up all the time) and the screen still goes black.
is it a software issue or hardware?
additional info : it works when i use my fone in a room {proximity ADC 43(43,43,43) } or building, but doesn't work while using outside {proximity ADC 51(51,51,51) }.
if anyone else has noticed a tiny red quickly flashing light, just above and to the left of the blackberry logo at the top of the screen and was wondering wtf, i am hoping this is the cause.

looks like it might be a proximity sensor to test if the phone is pressed against your head, to turn the screen back on when you move the phone away.
im guessing/hoping the fact that it flashes while i have a headset plugged in is a bug.
galaxy s8 started to give a white screen with green dots. unresponsive when screen on. at first it was fixed by turning screen off and on again. but now it only gives that white screen with green dots or original screen with a fade white on top [this also faded away till white and green dot screen comes within few seconds]. in voice commands can turn on bluetooth. phone s functins are working fine. when call comes i can answer and talk by guessed touching the answer button. fingerprint unlock wont work. so i cannot access the phone by computer. by connecting to smart watch most functions can be done. but screen is not coming back to normal/ work. please help
