I have proximity sensor lag. After talking to someone on the phone it takes 2-4 sec for my screen to appear again so I can hang up my phone.
Is there anyway to adjust that or is there something that is only happening to my g5 ?
Thanks
Same here, I usually end up pressing the home button first rather than wait

can someone create a sensor lock( like the other one above for screen touch wich is activated by the gsensor).....but to be able to activate/deactivate by pressing 1 or 2 buttons simultaneously ... ex: both volume keys...
10x!
~230 views and no one can make this ?
is this because i am the only one asking for this ?
i want this because every time i recive a call and i take the phone out of my pocket (or with my ear) )....i accidentally press the screen and answer/deny call....
the sensor lock that uses the gsensor does not lock/unlock the device if i spin it very fast...and many times it blocks the screen for several minutes ...and i have to wait that time ...and only after that time if i spin it will work
at least is there anyone ELSE interested in what i was asking ?
Sensor Lock
I use the same sensor lock with no problems... I know that when you receive a call it doesn't unlock the phone...(to stop you answering it by accident) But you can just press the hard answer key.
Hope this helps...

When I'm on handsfree during a call and trying to access the phones menus or programs, the screen first lights up after pressing pwr button, stays on for about 0,5sec, then goes black, then flickers on again, then off, then on again, and then off!
Sometimes I manage to get it to stay on by pressing on the screen repeatedly during the first 0,5sec. But usually I go through that whole procedure and have to repeat it until I manage to access the phone.
Anyone experienced the same thing? Only happens during call.

Same thing here, I use a BT headset. It is quite annoying.. I think it is trying to shut down the screen, because of battery saving. But I want to use the phone while speaking
Could have to do with the proximity sensor maybe?
Yeah it is to do with the proximity sensor. To solve this issue I try not to hover my finger over the top of the phone where the speakers are located (I think this is where the proximity sensor is placed).

yes, it is placed to the right of the speaker.
if u look at the phone in bright sunlight you can see the sensor
Hi guys
Had a search and nobody else seems to be having this problem, but seems so basic that I'm sure I must be missing something obvious!
When I'm in a call (either incoming or outgoing) I can't get the screen to turn on properly in order to hang up or use other programs (check calendar etc). This is particularly annoying on outgoing calls as it makes hanging up very difficult!
To be more detailed, a single tap on the power button has no effect on the screen - it stays off. If I repeatedly click the power button, sometimes the screen will flash on for a miniscule moment - this is my hang up method at the moment, repeatedly press the power button and tap the screen near where the hang up icon will be, and eventually I'll catch it while the screen's on. Once I'm off a call, things act as normal.
I have Pattern Lock set up, and am prompted to unlock the phone once I'm off a call, this is what I'd expect from previous Android phones but might be causing problems here?
I found this previous thread where people have had very similar symptoms because their screen protector is over the proximity sensor, but I don't have a screen protector. Might I have a dodgy proximity sensor? Is there any way of testing it?
Cheers for the help!

I have the same problem. It doesn't happen all the time, naturally, but it's been frequent enough to be irritating. If anyone figures this out, I'd love to hear a solution.
Frustratingly this does seem to happen to me every time - although it might only be once the timeout has activated the pattern lock. Or I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely!
Think I might have to do some testing tonight . . .
After some fiddling it does seem that it's a problem with the proximity sensor - Elixir 2's settings show the proximity sensor always showing "near"
If someone could run Elixir 2 on their N4 and confirm that they do get changing settings, it would be a great help!
i read that the problem could be the screen protector so i removed it. still the same problem. as soon as i start a call, the display goes dark and cant be reactivated until the call has ended. i already reseted the phone. didnt help anything.
is the sensor dead?
Have you tried turning the screen on after you pick up?
of course i did but it doesnt work. or it just flashes randomly very fast after pressing the power button multiple times.
Do you have a screen protector on there? I had a Realook screen protector on there for a day and it kept happening. It covers the sensor so after you start the call, it goes dark immediately. Thought it was hardware problem until I remembered it was working fine before I put on a screen protector.
i removed the screen protector, as i said in my first post.
That's a common problem, its due to a bug in the proximity sensor.
Try keeping it away from your face for a few seconds and than pressing the power button to turn it on, if that doesn't work, than there is no real fix that I am aware of.

well the thing is, i never put it near my face. i always hold it in my hand and dial/call.
It could also be a faulty proximity sensor. You can get apps the check the prox. sensor. See if they're picking it up correctly.
If it seems like it's not working, you could send it in for repair.
when you start a call the display is on and will turn off when you cover the top left, I enabled power button to hang up and it didn't come on when i moved it from my ear on a long call till I pressed the power button lol,
I will have to try with swipe to wake or another way to turn display on,
you rooted?
Hey, do any of you have a problem with the power button? More specifically, when I try to wake the phone, instead of using the knock knock feature, u sometime press the power button. What happens is, the screen turns on, and then immediately after 1-2 sec turns off again. It seems that I only can turn the screen on by using knock knock

It does that when the proximity (right next to the front speaker on the top front, to the left) is covered, so it doesn't turn on in your pocket. It's a safety feature. So it has to be completly clear before you press the power button.
A bad screenprotector can cause it to happen.

I have no screenprotector, and I held the phone in may hand. I choose to restart the phone and it helped.

Yay, proximity sensors just sometimes **** up. It used to do on my old phone. I thought they had fixed that long time ago though, hence I didn't mention that possibility.
Good you fixed it!

Same thing happens to my phone and it bugs the sh*t out of me. There better be a fix soon for this.
It's just due to the proximity sensor. Nothing to be worried about.
So how does the proximity sensor error work exactly? if it detects low light (like being in a pocket) it won't let you unlock? Wouldn't that mess up unlocking in the dark?

It's a light detector AND proximity sensor.
Uses the light for the screen light (auto brightness)
The proximity sensor checks if there is something covering the screen. (like being in your pocket)
