Does anyone have an issue with your cheek pushing buttons while you are on the phone? I am running liberated_aria and whenever i am on the phone, my screen does not shut off like other phones and I end up either hanging up on people or moving widgets and even adding widgets..
has anyone else noticed this? is there a fix for it?
Its happened to me once on an Aosp rom. Haven't had any problems after that though.

I haven't had any problems. The proximity sensor is on the top right of the phone, where the AT&T logo is. Try making a call, to voicemail or something, and then waving your finger over the sensor. Does it ever turn the display off? Could be a software bug I suppose, or just a faulty sensor.
if you use your left hand/ear its pretty easy to dodge the sensor, unfortunately.
I tried a call using my right hand and I dont have that problem. Only the left.. I guess Ill have to start making all my calls right handed.
It figures...
Us southpaws always get the short end of the stick. FWIW, I almost always hold my phone(s) left handed, and only rarely seem to have this problem. ( It might just be that I have a huge head, and big ears. )
Im a righty and sometimes when making calls i get a haptic vibration from my face touching the nav buttons i think, nothing happens though.
My girlfreind is having the same issues with her handset.
We found her an Aria about 2 weeks ago at Best Buy Mobile for $1. They are running some great special for non-iphone handsets. The Aria was giving her problems and we ended up exchanging it. The 2nd Aria also has the same issue. While on the phone, her cheek will press random buttons and even hang up. Sometimes she just feels vibration, sometimes its a number pad press, and sometimes she just hangs up all of a sudden.
It seems to be some sort of sensor issue. Does anyone have some insight as to how to fix it? It's kinda of a big deal if the phone function is impaired by having to hold it away from your face.
Thanks!

Other then making sure her head is covering the sensor, she canlock the phone in mid call and it should stop her phone from registering her cheek while on a call

Huh. I'm a righty, but I talk left hand / left ear, and I never have any problems. Do you tilt the phone in some strange way?

Thats a good idea. Thanks.
This issue is really pissing me off. I love this phone a lot but the proximity sensor is not working as it should, atleast with my head shape.
Seems almost in every other call I make/receive my cheek contacts the screen and pushes something because the proximity sensor is not detecting me head.
I've tried locking the phone with the button on top of the phone but that does not work, it's only temporary until the proximity kicks back in.
And, the funny thing is, when I try to "test" it out or replicate the situation I can never seem to do it again! It always happens unexpectedly.
I'm in the same boat with this too, but it's a hit or miss thing and really could be much worse.

i can't say i've ever run into this specific problem. i've actually been impressed with how well the sensor has been working.
i would agree with the previous poster who suggested to lock the screen once the call is active. make your call then tap the power button to lock the screen and that should help you avoid the issue.

I hope I am posting in the correct area, sorry in advance if not.
I have a small problem, the proximity sensor is not functioning during calls, I have confirmed that it is still functioning via the debug menu ( by pressing back, menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back from the lock screen). So I was wondering if there was a fix available.
I have searched for answer and I hope I haven't skipped over something in forums

Lol. I think that my proximity sensor is working great but the soft is crapy and it doesnt lock the screen(black screen) ut just lock the call screebln ( when i place a finger over sensor it block thr call screen and i cant hang up and thats all?

It would be nice for the screen to shut off like it used to, saves a lot of battery if screen is off during calls
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
if you set auto kill the application when screen off, it will kill the sensor functioning during calls.
sorry if my English is not perfect, I'm not a native.
My proximity sensor never worked before root, and still doesn't work after rooting. But it does work in the service test menu. I think it is related to the Dialer software.
What do I need to set as not autokill. Can u name the app please?

What app is that ?
Hi guys just wondering if you noticed this strange behaviour.
I noticed a quite frustrating delay after a call when i take the phone away from my ear, it takes 2-3 sec for the screen to turn back on.
Has anybody experienced the same?
Do you know if there is a solution for this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, think its normal. looks like the same delay when pushing power button for screen on.

Thank you.
That seems strange as it is something really basic that you expect to work in a phone of this price range. Moreover it's something you come across quite often.
Do you know if the latest firmware improves this?

You can just turn off the sensor in the call app, if you want your screen to be available just after a call.. I don't see the problem.. but my delay is also just around a second or so.

But if I do that i will drain battery unnecessarily. I don't know you guys but I find it really annoying having to wait 2sec after a call for the screen to wake up. I want to be able to hang up immediately i think I'm not asking something ridiculous.

you can also set the power button to terminate the call and you will not have to wait for the screen to turn on...
Reading the data from an analogue sensor (such as the proximity one) is always tricky... You need time to level out the values coming back from it, then determine that, over a period of time, the distance is suitable to enable the screen.
Only then can it be turned on etc

How do you go about doing this? Can it be changed in the setting sor does it require a separate App?

Pls go to settings then call then calls answering ending and tick power key ends calls
Yes i find this very annoying too!
Especially when on a call center, press 2 (wait for screen) then press 4 (wait for screen) you get the idea
this is actually the only problem i have with the SGS2 since ke7

sgs 1 managed it fine though?....or am i missing something
Yeh my i8000 had no delay with the proximity censor.
But the screen delay seems to be everywhere. Turning on from sleep, time to adjust to ambient light and obviously the proximity sensor after pulling it away from your face.
Its not a major drama for me but I agree that it would be good to not have the delay.
I just noticed that when I use Skype the sensor works really well, meaning there is almost no lag.
I'm confused..

Yes! Very annoying.
Yep! I was commenting on this the other day. To be honest, I make and receive very few calls from my phone but when i do, I feel the rage rising inside me everytime because of the sensor delay.
It's the small things that annoy you the most.
As mentioned, you can opt to have the power button hang up the phone. It also does not turn the screen off, so you can continue working on the phone.
This is actually under accessibility settings, not call settings.
Menu -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Cancel the prompt -> Tick 'The power key ends calls'.
I also find the lag on waking up very annoying. Even once the screen has woken up, it takes a second for the touch input to be recognised so the pattern unlock only registers my last two or three inputs depending on how quickly I start swiping. I have to enter the pattern again. Very annoying.

I also have this problem, although I'd estimate it only takes about 1-1.5 seconds for the screen to come on.
I do however not think that this is a sensor problem, but rather a software problem.
Type *#0*# in the dialer, and press Sensor.
The phone will now vibrate once you trigger the proximity sensor. And it seems to be very fast and responsive here.
i have the problem using Skype...when i start a call it turns automatically the screen off ! i need then to push on home button to get out of skype...very ennoying...
last time i made an order online, my bank sent me a code by phone and following the instruction, the voice asked me to push the number i hear...i simply could not !! the screen was completely off ! and i could not succefully purchase online, my order was cancelled !.....due to this problem of screen..i think it is seriously ennoying and must be fixed in an update firm or something .
Agreed, this is a very annoying and unnecessary delay. Especially coming from an iPhone, where the screen turns on instantaneously when removed from the ear.
Hoping for a fix.
im ready to pay to get this fixed
When I make a call and don't hold a phone near the ear the screen still turns off.
This started to happen 1 months after I bought the phone. Before it was working fine, which means if I don't hold the phone near the ear the display doesn't fade, and if I do, it does fade.
Im running unrooted stock 4.3 latest android.
Is there anyway to fix this problem?

I did wipe out cache, that didn't help. I don't want to do a hard reset, as its annoying to restore the environment and settings back.
I don't use any software that tampers the sensors. Also I'm on a stock I9505G android 4.3.
Any other ideas, please ?

Nope, I don't have screen protector.
Also, when I make calls I just hold phone in front of me and so nothing covers the proximity sensor.
Hey guys I have been experiencing issues when I receive calls. I try to slide to answer and it doesn't recognize my finger the first few times which has caused me to miss calls. It is like it is hung up and takes time to recognize finger detection. My family and neighbor have both complained about this. What gives? Should I report these issues to Samsung? Anyone else having this problem? So many glitches south this phone.
Yeah I have this issue as well. Haven't found a fix other than change to pressing home button to answer.

Sliding with my thumb finger to answer does not work
Sliding with my index finger works.
Looks like the touch screen sensibility depends on which finger you use to slide.

I've found that if you rest your finger on the green circle for about a half second before you slide, it will work every time.

+1. Samsung seemed to have changed the way you answer your calls. Was a bit frustrating at first, but am used to it now.
