Hey, I remember the proximity working while I'm on a phone call when I first got the Samsung focus but it seems it no longer works now. I'm forced to lock the phone before I make the call or I always risk ending the call by accident with my face. Is this a setting? What could of caused the sensor to stop responding.

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.

Hello, I'd like to ask you if the proximity sensor works during a call.
It happens that when I put the phone next to my ear, sometimes the call ends because I touch the end call area with my face.
Is there a way to see if the proximity sensor is disabled?
I'm not sure but mine works perfectly so far..
Yea, the problem was that I used the viva-voice (I don't know the english translation).
maybe you touch the screen and end call? when you close far phone to the head wait one second and then backlight is off... but dont touch the screen yuor ear or cheek before the scren isn't off.
I just switched out my GS4 proximity sensor cause it wasnt working but I think I might messed up the mic or something cause when im in a call sometimes while in the call it sound like raspy or like auto tune I was wondering did i mess something up and what I should do to fix it.Also,it seems that even after i put in the new proximity sensor my air gestures still arent working could it be blocked or something cause my screen was cracked but the LCD was perfect and got someone to replace it but after he replaced it my air gestures just stopped working could it be when he replaced the screen he b locked the sensor from being read should i replace the screen again what should I do.I thought the proximity sensor was the sensor that controlled the air gestures too.And when i use *#0*# under sensor the proximity sensor reads
Proximity 1.0
TSP Color ID 1.0
ADC 228(228,228,229) and it changes to 230,250,255 Please Help I really want to get this fix or imma just sell it.
Hi everyone,
since a few weeks i got problems with the proximity sensor on my i9505
First i thought that it is software related but after clean installing a new ROM yesterday i see that the problem still exists...
It happens when the proximity sensor should react, when i am close to it, it reacts and activates but the problem is that it wont turn off again...
i dialed the test menu and went to sensor test, as i see the sensor sees the distance normaly, when i bring it close and when i move it away i see that the numbers react how they should, however after the sensor is once trigerred with a close object it starts to vibrate and the screen turns green (how it should), but after moving away it registers the distance but it won´t stop to vibrate and turn off :/
Anyone who knows what could be wrong?
I have to mention that the display was changed once (because of the glass broke) but it was working normal for months...
EDIT: after testing again i see that the sensor sees the distance just as it should the only problem is that once that the sensor action is triggered to 1.0 from 0.0 it stays at 1.0 no matter if i remove my hand...
Hi guys,
Was wondering if it was possible to disable my proximity sensor? The reason I ask is because since I dropped my phone a couple of weeks ago, it does weird things.
When I try to call someone the proximity sensor registers 8cm (give or take as this is an example) but when I put my face to the phone, it latches on 0cm and never resets to another value. Thus keeping the screen blank.
Same outcome happens when someone calls me.
I'm currently using Lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1.1) on the Samsung S5 (SM-G900F klte). I'd rather disable the sensor if it means regaining control of the phone during calls.
Thanks guys!
Bump
