Hi guys, so I'm one of lucky guys who's HD2 sensors don't work (black screen after calls)
Is there any way to disable light/proximity sensors on phone (android builds ofc)
I'm also having this problem with my Samsung Captivate/Fascinate(Telus). Its really annoying. I tried everything from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764368&page=2 but nothing worked.
Anything new? Its quite an old thread.
EDIT:
found this and it works! Covering it actually helps!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help about Proximity Sensors. Seems like there's a lot of discussion... but not many solutions.
I currently run CM10.2 on JFLTEXX (Samsung Galaxy S4). After a little while, my prox sensor crapped out and stopped working. I tried disabling from sensors.so file, but i ended up disabling all my sensors (accellerometer, light sensor, etc). I tried taking it apart and cleaning it but that only worked for a few weeks. I've ALSO tried the recalibration and resetting echo 0 and echo 1, but that doesn't work either. I know you can keep the screen on during calls via option, but Skype messes up too and other apps.
I am on one last solution before giving up on this ROM (or phone...). I am trying the Hardware Disabler app but I need to know which driver is the driver for Proximity Sensor. Here's the list:
- 21-0030 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/an30259a/
- 17-0077 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/bcm2079x-i2c/
- 16-0020 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/cypress_touchkey/
- 12-0025 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/dummy/
- 120048 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/dummy/
- 13-006c under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/ice4/
- 4-003e under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/jc/
- 12-0066 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/max77693/
- 7-006a under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/s5k6b2yx/
- 11-0036 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/sec-fuelgauge/
- 9-0064 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/sii8240_cbus/
- 9-004d under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/sii8240_disc/
- 9-0049 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/sii8240_hdmi/
- 9-0039 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/sii9240_tmds/
- 9-0059 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/sii8240_tpi/
- 2-0081 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/ssp/
- 3-0020 under /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/synaptics_rmi4_i2c/
Which one of the above is the proximity sensor driver?
Really would appreciate the help. I know a lot of other people are looking for this kind of information and did a ton of Google search before I came to post here.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Sensors are not working at all. Screen rotation isn't.. And phone calls don't shut screen off by ear.
Cpu-z isn't displaying sensor status
Got some sensor testing apps and they also don't pick up sensor activity, however they detect the sensors present and give full hardware details.
I got the 9507v
Anything....????? Please

Im saying its the rom bugs.
You can check if its the phone or the rom by flashing a stock rom

You flashed wrong custom ROM for the GT-i9507V. That ROM is for GT-i9505 (jfltexx). Flash the stock ROM for recover your device.
Any cm snapshot ROMs for it? I was told it would work fine
Hi, anybody can help me, my yd201 proximity sensor not working, i did everything flashing all rom on the forum to try fix this but it still doesn't work. (from 4.+ to the latest MM) with all firmware. i just trying full unroot my phone on root apps then wanna clean system apps using twrp so am try deleting root forder from latest twrp to clean everything, now proximity sensor not working what ever i do rotate, calling, and the biggest problem is back screen is not working too,. download sensor test from the market is working too(device sensor hardware not support on this phone)
please help me what should I do.. if anyone knows where can buy motherboard for yotaphone please give me the link. tnks.

Open the phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , if it doesn't work the first time try the code again and it should open the hidden testing menu, choose device test and you can manually test all the phones sensors to confirm if the proximity sensor is working or not. I had a s7 that did the same thing, the proximity sensor just quit working one day and I confirmed it wasn't working with this method. Good luck.
same result, not working too.
maybe problem is from hardware,
any idea on how to fix it, just something like using xposed or what?

I just dealt with it, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. There's an app on the play store that you can use for screen rotation, I ended up using that when I absolutely needed rotate the screen.
i dont care about rotation screen.. i just want the back screen working normally, if tap transfer button on color display it won't open it on epd screen when i rotate the phone..
I don't know if it happened the same with you, I own a YD206 so I am not sure how YD201 behaves, but there's a problem with proximity sensor that makes it working all the time, I have wrote a comment about it and will try to contact Yota about this, meanwhile it would be important for people that are not aware of this problem because is such a faint light to actually confirm if the same is happening to them, YD201 or YD206:
I discovered that I also have this problem, I was with the wrong radio, had to flash the Chinese radio and it suddenly appeared, this is what I have found I have an YD206, so I wonder how the YD201 behaves:
On YD206:
With wrong radio. radio (Russia xx versions) on YD206 , in KitKat or Lollipop ROMs the proximity sensor is OFF by default BUT, as soon you turn ON an app that uses it, it won't turn off again, it keeps blinking even if you force kill the app that started. However it will turn off if the screen is off, after 5 seconds after. Also it's important to acknowledge that 2G only with this radios fails. On Lollipop Wifi won't turn off automatically, just manually.
YD206 With the correct radio. radio S01_003_3034_CN1_M05 2G 3G (UMTS) and 4G (LTE) all work and with better reception, but as soon the screen is ON, the proximity sensor starts working, does not matter what app you have open, when you turn OFF the screen the proximity sensor will turn OFF in about 5 seconds. If you are using the EPD screen the proximity sensor will turn OFF faster than 5 seconds, but as soon you touch the EPD it will turn ON for 3 seconds or so. On Lollipop Wifi won't turn off automatically, just manually.
So the problem acts differently when you flash a different radio, I am not sure where's the bug comes from, but it seems there's also a bug with YotaRom. There's a Xposed module to disable proximity sensor in specific apps, I haven't tried that, I also would like to know how this behaves with the Marshmallow Beta.
(For the ones that are not aware of this problem, keep in mind that to see this problem you need to be on a dark place to see the very faint red light of the proximity sensor.)
Best regards,
This problem is also being discussed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/yot...tive-t3520013/
Hey everyone, thought you all might be able to help with an issue I'm having. Ever since I've upgraded to the c900b395 update, which I did OTA rather than a full install my light sensor is gone. I've rolled back, changed to arrow and tried to flash stock with no luck. When I install sensor reading apps the light sensor doesn't even show up as being in the phone.
It's like I'm missing a driver package or something. I forgot how convenient having auto brightness and the phone screen turning off during a call was. Any ideas? The original firmware was a New Zealand spark rom but I clean degraded it.
Did you find a fix?
Have the same problem
