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

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

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?

A quick Google search didn't yield any results, so I bring my issue to you.
It seems that when I have touch control enabled, and I remove the phone from my face during a call, the screen does not come back on unless I touch the screen to wake it up. I know it's touch control doing this, because when I disable it, the sensor works fine. Just wondering what causes this and if there was a fix short of disabling touch control completely.

So has anyone found a method for disabling the proximity sensor? Aside from replacing the sensor itself? Maybe a build.prop or by using terminal. My phone screen wont stay on because it detects its in my pocket all the time makes it a pain to unlock.
posted screens below of useful info.

did you try taking it apart and unplugging the proximity sensor?
There is an xposed module that do the trick

Hey guys,
everytime I use the skype app with my headphone the proximity sensor turns the screen black, when I cover it accidentally.
Is there any way, to turn the sensor off? I also don't need it in the dialer app.
I'm using cm12, so the modified skype app with the future, to turn off the proximity sensor doesn't work. x.x
I hope someone have a solution.^^
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Btw. Tasker does have this option, but it only works on 4.2 and bellow...

I don't know about disabling it altogether, but you might be able to adjust its' thresholds enough to fit your needs. I don't know exactly where the files controlling that are, but they'll be somewhere in framework. In framework-res/res/values/integers there's "config_proximityCheckTimeout" that's set to a quarter of a second by default...maybe start with that?
