So the only thing I have installed is auto speakerphone but my screen won't turn off when held to my ear on phone calls. The proximity sensor works as certified by auto speakerphone but still won't shut the screen off.
I don't have a screen protector installed either. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I don't know if it is the proximity sensor or not, but when I go outside my screen just turns off. Whether its in the boot animation or android fully loaded, it just turns off everytime I'm outside. Like the phone is oversensitive to daylight or something. Running cm7 latest nightly and I have tried other nightlies but same issue. Any ideas?

It's not the proximity sensor. Proximity sensor only works when the phone is in call.
You might have meant light sensor, but it can't turn off the screen.
I have noticed and become rather annoyed with this issue.
If it is dark (sometimes not very dark but dim) in my room or outside when I turn my screen on to unlock it (either knock on or power button) the screen will go black as soon as I try to touch it to unlock the phone.
I think it thinks I'm using knock off? But it happens even when I have that feature turned off. I tried my best to explain this. Lol.
Basically I wake the phone touch it and it goes back to sleep.

Proximity sensor blocked will do this. I haven't experienced this myself. Lighting really shouldn't effect it that much.
I've been getting a weird issue with my proximity sensor on my Note 4. It becomes... I suppose you could call it 'overzealous.' Even when not in a call, waving your finger over it will turn off the screen, no matter what screen it's on, home, lock, a game, Chrome, etc. And it's not just COVERING the sensor, it projects out to just over an inch away from the glass, so when I, say, go to pull down the notifications shade, the screen will turn off. It requires a restart to fix.
Anybody else had this particular issue?
You probably have some app what causing that because normally that sensor is only active during phone call. Possibly gesture control use that sensor too (when enabled). BTW proximity sensor in note 4 is set for 8 cm. It reads value above or below 8 cm but not exact distance.

Settings->Display->Ambient Display
I read it in another thread, but found out it applied to me as well. I had Light Flow installed and it was the culprit. If I use the power button to shut off the screen, ambient display would kick the screen back on. Same happened just randomly while I'm driving down a smooth road (no sudden bumps/shakes) and the screen would randomly turn on. I switched to Light Manager and so far the behavior has stopped.
I stopped using light flow long ago as it would usually cause issues. Let me check out ambient

Yeah ambient I don't need and disabled it

I tried to like ambient display but ended up turning it off. It got annoying when I was holding the phone and my touch woke the phone up from ambient. What exactly is supposed to trigger this thing? Light? Motion?
No lightflow here but I do have a skinomi techglass which I thought I read could screw with the light sensor.
Yeah I feel the same way about the ambient display. I have no real need for it. My screen turned on at least 5 times while I was holding the phone in a cab. Annoying

Noticed that light sensor of my phone doesn't work well. Every time when I put it in a pocket my phone continues to live and click buttons I don't want to click. When I close all sensors by hand screen doesn't turn off. And it is going on wihout any connection to related option in display settings. How to fix this?
