So I read in the net about the proximity sensor issue, that the phone is turning on by itself. I did not experience such problem at all, but I do have a problem with the proximity sensor: when I'm on a call, in the most time the screen does not turn off, so I accidentally pres "mute microphone" or turn on "speaker phone", which is very annoying. This is with the 2 OTA updates patched already, was the same before them too.
Do you have such problems, like I do? Anything that we can do to fix this issue?
Sounds like the common proximity sensor problem....

Hi all,
I've installed TouchLockPro as suggested at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5254295#post5254295
Initial testing seems to prove that it has fixed the problem, well it's a workaround.
It senses (via the G sensor) if the phone is held upright during a call and turns the screen off- no need to rely on the poor proximity sensor.
Please test and let me know how you get on.
There doesn't seem to be any config- just install and it works.
If your proximity sensor does not work then return the device. I have no problems with it at all. Only think I would say is for it to also switch things on/off when phone not in use.
I used to have problems with the proximity sensor but it's been working perfectly since I upgraded to 1.48.
FYI- The proximity sensor does work on my phone. It just proves to be intermittent at sensing- this has been documented by other users.
The main problem is that it doesn't work very well next to hair. So I don't have any problems with the proximity sensor, but my wife (with long hair) does.
proximity sensor works fine for me as long as I don't use the keypad during a call; once i enter anything during a call (like calling card number, extensions etc) the proximity sensor stops working.
I think this bug doesn't show up when using the wired headset, have to confirm this though.
After two weeks testing I found out that the original screen protector with the two holes for the sensor makes the problems!!!
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

when i first got my x10, the proximity sensor worked fine.
but after about after a week of use, it seems to be malfunctioning. when i am in-call, and the phone is next to my face, the screen would turn off, due to the proximity sensor, but then turn back on immediately without removing the phone from my ear.
then after a few more seconds, it would turn off again due to the proximity sensor, and turn on again immediately.
anyone else have this problem? anyone know how to help?
Any idea if I can manually tweak proximity sensor behavior? I have problems during call, when I slightly move phone, it seems that it turns on screen for moment and I usually press mic mute button. Happens on every third call, hate it. My idea is to make proximity sensor react slower, for example with 500ms delay. It would be enough to handle these problems when phone turns on screen and I'm stuck with disabled mic.
Phone is rooted, with latest RR.
As in the title proximity sensor stopped working during call, but only when taking from the ear. It don't wake up screen anymore. Anybody facing same problem? Is there a solution?
me too, all other sensor works except proximity that works one tiem then nothing
Waiting for asus fix the proximity sensor can be disabled from dialer settings to avoid the black call screen.
For me too!! It's very annoying . i have used xposed "sensor Disabler" module as a work around to completely disable proximity sensor!
I had the same on Android 5. Double tap the power button wakes it up.
I've noticed that the proximity sensor is active not only when calling someone regularly, but also when using a bluetooth headset or the speaker. That not enough it's even active when I switch off the screen manually with the power button while calling. When I get near the sensor later it turns on again.
I'm used to take my phone in my pocket when using a headset and I can't do that anymore because at some point it wakes up and my leg or something else ends the call, mutes me etc.
Did somebody else noticed that behaviour and knows a fix for it?
It's fixed in the latest update (34.3.A.0.217)
This thread can be closed.
I have similar problem with latest version 34.4.A.2.118. When I start a phone call screen goes black before i put it on my ear. It's like faulty proximity sensor, but few days ago I was using OMNI and there wasn't any problem.
