During a phone call any attempt to scroll down from the top of the screen turns the screen off.
This is caused by the proximity sensor, and according to Official Samsung representatives, cannot be disabled.
I have rooted my device.
Now, how can I disable this?
Thanks!
As with most things, a simple Google search finds the answer.

Hi, I have a T-mobile USA HD2 and when i make a call the screen no longer works. I cant press the anything on screen which means i can't delete voice mails. I have tried keeping the phone down so I don't activate the proximity sensor but the screen still does not work. Anyone having this problem as well?
Proximity Sensor... Display is blank, when something is in front of the sensor. This sensor located next to the light sensor
no, even when I don't activate the senor the screen does not work. I can see all the buttons and the picture of who I am calling. I try pressing them but nothing works.
You should have paied more attention to the several threads on this matter that have been published in these forums (that is, searching) but anyway, what usually causes this is enabling "Increase tap time" in BsBTweaks. If you have that one, unckeck that option.
thx worked. I did search but was unable to find anything about it

As in the title proximity sensor stopped working during call, but only when taking from the ear. It don't wake up screen anymore. Anybody facing same problem? Is there a solution?
me too, all other sensor works except proximity that works one tiem then nothing
Waiting for asus fix the proximity sensor can be disabled from dialer settings to avoid the black call screen.
For me too!! It's very annoying . i have used xposed "sensor Disabler" module as a work around to completely disable proximity sensor!
I had the same on Android 5. Double tap the power button wakes it up.
Hi everyone,
I own a Zenfone 3 ZE552KL that recently showed an issue with the proximity sensor.
It always returns positive, i.e. as if something is close.
I tried an application to recalibrate the sensor and I also asked a repair shop to clean the sensor itself but no luck.
Also, since the proximity sensor is soldered to the mainboard it's not possible to change it.
As a workaround I used the function from the dialer to set the screen always on during calls. However, after having moved to LineageOS 16 (with Android 9) I am not able to find the same option.
Do you know any workaround to disable the proximity sensor?
Maybe there is another ROM who gives you the possibility to set screen on during calls?
I will be happy to discuss and receive few suggestions on the topic
Thanks!
J.
it seems my proximity sensor is not working. when i receive a call the display stays black. is there any solution or does anybody knows a dialer that has the option to deactivate the sensor?
(currently i'm using crDroid 6.3, but it happened in other rom's too)
found a solution that works for me: it's an app called "Proximity Screen Off Lite"
this app uses the device administrator permission.

worked for a certain time but stopped because of unknown reasons
