Well I just replaced my arias digitizer, all works well besides making and receiving calls. My screen will turn black and be unresponsive, I can be heard by the other person but on my end my phone is unresponsive. I would have to take out the battery to get it to respond, which is ridiculous. This has been an issue for many people and I want to get to the bottom of it. All help is welcomed, thank you.
There is a tiny rubber cover for the proximity sensor that needs to be there for it to work properly. It is easy to lose when you replace the screen.

Currently I am messing with it and I've tried many things. Could you possibly describe it, much appreciated.

It is a little rubber thing, square on one side and round on the other, with a hole through it. It fits over the proximity sensor to focus it through the round window on the glass.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Well apparently I must have put my earpiece in wrong too and I can't hear anything during a call. Many thanks if you can tell me how it goes in.

I resolved the speaker issue. now its just the damn sensor, i cant wake from calls :/. To be exact, what does the proximity sensor look like and which tiny window does it "see" through?
Right next to the speaker are two little sensors. The closest to the speaker is the proximity sensor and the other one is the light sensor. Above these on the glass are two round windows.

If you search around on here, someone posted a hack for disabling the proximity sensor. This will enable you to make calls, but you will obviously lose the sensor function.

I have seen that thread about disabling it, I'm trying to keep that as very last resort. Well does the sensor look like a tiny little chip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Yes, it has a little circular 'eye' on it.

Thank you. I'll continue to mess with it. Btw, what do you know about the gingerbread development? Anything about the aria?

The Cyanogen people are working on it as we speak.

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

my sensor works wrong - when i talk to somebody , screen does not turn off (( and it is not only my problem , i saw on forum from other ... i think this is marriage small party ...

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

hey guys,
today i played doodle jump, and realized that my tilt sensor isn't calibrated, when the phone is horizontal the doodler jumps to the right side,
can someone help me to fix it,?
Why Nobody knows how to fix that??

Yes i know the problem...but i think is game problem cuz when i stay on a chair or something the sensors works properly

Same thing happening with whn i play racing moto on kyrillos 7. wat nt happening with previous ROMs.. guess its a ROM issue...
Its not because of the rom...

I had that problem in shaky tower. i just unticked automatic calibration option in settings of that game. then it worked properly.
check whether there is any calibration settings in doodle jump and try changing them
But i don't wanna just play Doodle Jump. I want that my Phone is calibrated...
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
It's because of the game. Just reset the game in the game's settings and hold your phone right.
i've had this problem to but when i reboot my phone on a flat surface it seems that my phone re calibrates the sensor maybe you can try this
Nothing Works -.-
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
the prob is not with sensor calibration but with the game.
when u start the game, place the phone on a flat surface and start it. it will work fine.
you gotta do this for all games that use the accelerometer
I tried to start it on a flat surface.. But it doesn't works..

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

Thank you for the info ppero196, this is most pleasant news...cheers buddy....who knows,maybe samsung gonna include the driver is some future update

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!

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.

Ok, just 10 minutes in Google and:

Samsung didn't cut a hole for light part of our sensor... So there's no way for getting it working
Well there was a hope...

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
Wait...s3 has 2 holes and has light sensor. WTF?!!!

I thing there is no chance to get it working :/ I had dismantle my s iii mini and looked on the sensor and there is only proximity. I am refer to pdf from New Macław's post. If you open it you will see on first page two types os senzors.I thing tahet we have the "Upper left" type and there is no ambient part :/

Since you dismantled the phone, what processor and sound chip it uses?

Hehe, I wasn't so deep. I was cleaning my camera and proximity sensor is quite near...everything what I know

I found soms other specs for our phone

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?
I got this problem too

R you guys rooted and/or have a custom rom? If yes reflash to stock and see if that helps. I`am on stock/unrooted atm and works fine.
