Could someone make recalibrator like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858 for DZ plz?
Wrong section buddy. And is there anything wrong with your proximity sensor? I have never known a DZ/G2 user to complain about the way it works. Which is why this probably does not exist for our phones

It could be a hardware problem. download an app called AndroSensor and test if your proximity sensor is working at all

As the title says write *#0*# in dialer and you can test it, its called grip sensor located at the top right near the camera by about 1.5 inch , move your hand over it and It will detect your hand ,let the developers benefit from it

Yes but tablets don't have proximity sensors (other than 7.7,7plus ) and it seems functioning only in the test menus so I think Samsung hide It for some reason as they haven't announced it in the official specifications , by the way have you tried it yourself

Does it have a SIM card slot? If not, there's no GSM radio and therefore no dialer.

As I said the software makes no benfit from the sensor (dunno why) but you can test its existence in the test menus by typing *#0*# in the dialer then choose grip sensor

The only news about a "grip sensor" on Samsung's device was revealed on Samsung Continuum Device which was a device with a 2nd display on the bottom released in december 2010... that display, show info about weather, news etc when you press the Grip sensor without wake up the first display..
I can't find other function about this "grip sensor" ...

I hope the developers can do something with this. maybe sooner, we can have smart cover. I don't know why but i fancies the iPad's smart cover. Just the cover though. lol. :laugh:

Yes the iPad have magnetic field detector to feel ,magnets same idea but not same thing as the grip sensor in our note ,
I saw a cover for the nexus 7 that said it turns the screen off and on with the closing and opening of the screen. I assume it's done with the light sensor. Is there any way to dk it with the gt?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
those use the proximity sensor, and we don't have one so unfortunately no there is no way to set that up.
Its not the proximity sensor, its some sort of magnetic sensor. It does it if you have a small magnet in the right place on the case. As we do not have such a sensor on the tab, we cannot do the same thing.
In theory, you could write an app that turns off screen depending on what the light sensor senses

maybe on your 3100 but I installed this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5vbWQuYXV0b3NjcmVlbm9uIl0. that uses the proximity sensor to wake the screen and it said there wasn't one on my 3113. All I have is the camera and a light sensor.

ok, cool, auto screen on was just the first I had found and it worked on the device I tested it on so I never looked for any others. still no use on my 3113, it says no proximity sensor.

This works, however if you are using screen timeout, its not saving you much since it just turns the screen off, it does not put the device to sleep. It does function as an auto on / off for the screen. I found it very quirky , sometimes it works when I close the cover, sometimes it does not. Unfortunately there is no sensor calibration. I want to test it to see if it actually uses extra battery in order to keep the sensor alive. Also, its a bit flaky if you use some of the advanced features like turning on and off airplane mode.
Thanks. I didn't know about the magnet.

No need to write such an app. There are several on the play store that do exactly that.
However I've tried them all and I can' get any to work properly using CM10. Others may have better luck.
Use smartcover from android market. It works very well.
Hello everyone.
The proximity sensor just always turned on. I don't know what program using it. I wish there is a application to view exactly what program using a sensor.
Thank you.

I also have a problem with Quick Glance.
Sometimes it works.
Most of the time, it doesn't.
Q: Is this proximity sensor related to 'Smart Rotation' and 'Smart Stay'?
Major find people.
The proximity sensor that we have is in fact light sensor / proximity sensor combo.
Its name is GP2A
Samsung disabled light sensor (in kernel) probably by either modifying drivers to exclude the light part or by removing driver completly
I managed to find kernel driver for this sensor (from some unknown device), which link you can find below:
http://o2droid.phj.hu/trac/browser/kern_oII/drivers/sensor/optical/gp2a.c?rev=2
So kernel devs, rock on!!!
maclaw and all devs should know this.
hope it works this kernel driver :fingers-crossed:, the s3 mini should be factory the auto brightness
Great there is still hope for light sensor !! Just inform devs

Haha I can't believe it, that link refers to a Omnia2Droid page! It's an old team who ported Android 2.1/2.2 to the Omnia 2/Pro (WinMo 6.x devices) years ago, I had one of those with that buggy droid installed
Edit for developers - that driver comes from a Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica (Android 2.1),a device launched in 2009
Edit2 - found this driver from google https://android.googlesource.com/ke...2929fc99325ee399fd9/drivers/input/misc/gp2a.c
and this one,the most recent one https://bitbucket.org/sarcastillo/redpillkernel/src/990eb0053acb/drivers/input/misc/gp2a.h
Woooo, hope at last!
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
1. Don't get so excited. Even if it's light sensor also, other hardware parts can still prevent us from using light sensor function.
2. Galaxy Spica doesn't have any proximity/light sensor - I have a Spica
3. Drivers which you attached are completely useless on Jellybean & 3.x kernels.
Sure, getting working something completely broken by Samsung is most important for me at this moment...
It isn't so easy to get light sensor working, I'm not sure if it is possible.
But we will look into it and check it out.

I think it's very hard. If I not wrong, Samsung's AMOLED panel is in one piece with the capacitive buttons and the sensors and the front speaker except camera. so I think it's hard to make a hole on it

It says the proximity sensor is combined with light sensor, part number cm3623. Galaxy s4 mini has only 3 holes on front panel, 2 for proximity and 1 for front camera. But it HAS light sensor and auto brightness. My question is: Is it possible that it uses the IR sensor part of the proximity sensor for light sensor? I think it is.

There is a lightsensor too
why?
on the phone two black holes have the side of the camera
and on call screen
press *#7353# about it when the menu comes
there is light sensor settings to the test
The proximity sensor stopped working. When I'm making a phone call the screen is still blank when removed from the head.
Quick glance only work when I try it in the demo.
Is there any settings I might have missed or is the proximity sensor broken?
