I have a problem with the dialer. This was my first time flashing a ROM and everything has worked smoothly, except this.
I can initiate a call fine. But once the call is going, the screen goes black and I can't do anything with the dialer. I have to place the phone flat on a bench to even be able to get a screen to come up after mashing buttons. It stays black otherwise, so it isn't using the proximity sensor as it should. In fact I also can't find anything in the ROM settings about using the proximity sensor.
Then even when I have the screen lit up, I can't input further numbers, hang up, anything - none of the soft buttons respond in any way.
Who'd think you use a phone for making phone calls? But I do need to sometimes, so this is pretty annoying.
The install was on a clean phone, with cache and Dalvik wiped too, with guidance from someone who flashes ROMs regularly.
I installed the stock GApps package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
But even if I install 3rd party diallers, they still seem to call up the dialer from the ROM.
Thanks.

Problem resolved: I clean installed C-ROM instead of Cyanogen Mod and everything is now working fine.
Something is pretty messed up in the current version of CM for the Note 3.

I have tried multiple Android builds but all of them give the same problem.
Everything in Android works great except when receiving a call or calling.
The call is fine, but all buttons and the screen are unresponsive during the call and some time afterwards.
After a while everything is fine again without a reboot.
Sometimes adding a power cord and removing it gives back control as if it resets something.
Anyone experience similar issues and found a cure?
It's the light sensor, I've read that it can be disabled but I don't know how, just put yer phone under a very bright light source and u will be back up and running

Hey,
I'm having a problem with my proximity sensor. If I make a phone call, the screen turns automatically black, even if sensor isn't covered. And I can't turn the screen back on during call, only if the conversational partner hangs up, then it turns back on normally. If I try to hang up, the phone the display stays black for about 2min.
I'm having this problem only with WP7 & Android, works normally on WM6.5.
Hope somebody can help me.
Thanks in advantage.
You saying it works fine with winmo, it has to be a setting or bad flashing. You can try wiping your phone and starting over. I haven't played with WP7, but in some andriod roms there is an opition to use proximity sensor in the phone settings. Goto settings/ call settings. You might want to check and see. might be able to help you more if you were to tell what rom and how you installed.
This setting montecarlo5 mentions is available in cyanogenmod roms.
Are you sure there's no dirt covering your proximity sensor? Maybe Android is more sensitive than WM/WP.
I'm using RAFDROID HD 2.3 and like u allready said, the setting isn't available.
I'm having this issue on every NAND build i ever tested, but the sensor is 100% clean.
Please guys, don't open everytime a new thread before searching, if some one did the same -.- I made some tests to find out the reason of this issue and how to solve it (more or less).

Hello, I have a problem with my LG G2 VS980 by verizon.
There are two problems depending on preloaded rom
1 The display shuts down immediately when call to someone. (after the conversation has will not turn on)
or
2 When someone call to me, after a conversation I can not unlock the screen (either the knock on, or by power button - appears on the screen and immediately turns off).
I've tested all the roms that are available. The one who runs without problem with the display there is a rom by HeatshiverSX - 4.3.1. The problem is that this rom has problem with the rotation of the screen.
Are you able to tell what's going on? Could someone help / advise? Thanks!
Anyone ?
LG G2 proximity sensor causes screen and touch problems during conversations

Did you manage to solve it by now?
If not, it seems that @Bam9 manged to solve it by a firmware update as he reported here.
It seems that there are two similar issues in LG G2 which are both caused by the proximity sensor which causes screen and touch problems during conversations:
The screen stays on and the touch buttons in the dialer (speaker, add call, mute, etc...) aren't responsive.
(This issue was already reported by @athorax here)
The screen turn off and goes blank while in conversation.
(This issue was already reported by @madafis here)
In both of these situations the only quick way to end a call is to pull down the status and notifications bar and hang up from there.
Thanks to @Bam9 and @EtherBoo , who suggested to clear the proximity sensor from the outside and squeeze the top left corner of the phone, I tried to clean it and put some stress on it - and it worked!
I have a glass screen protector (which don't block the proximity sensor), and I am rooted and using CyanogenMod 11 ROM.
I used ioroot to root and AutoRec, which comes with TWRP 2.7.0.0, to install CyanogenMod ROM.
However, going back to stock ROM (in my case, LG G2 D802, it's D80220C) won't help since the issue still exists.
What I'm sure is that it was pretty much okay in the beginning, and the situation became worse and worse - occurring randomly, until it arrived to a situation in which I can't use the phone properly during conversation.
Now that I discovered that I can put some stress on the proximity sensor it seems that I have a hardware rather than a software issue.
Hi everyone,
I've got a used LG G2 with a broken display that I just replaced. Everything works with CyanogenMod 11 20140708-snapshot-m8-d802 (4.4.4), except for the dialer which acts up weird.
When I place or receive a call, the display turns black, and it doesn't come on again when I remove it from the face - seems like the light detector isn't working. I can turn on the diplay by using the power button though. Here another problem araises; I can't use any of the button on the dialer screen. I can't hang up, I can't enable the speakphone or show the numberpad. I haven't done any modding expect for installing a new rom and wiping the previous users' data.
Any ideas?

Sorry. I have the exact same problem. Began on PA 4.4.4+ and now back to stock and still does not work. Have you figured it out? Seems like a problem with the proximity sensor and no way to turn it off. Frustrating.
Sorry to hear that I ended up fixing it by hard resetting my phone with the software provieded by LG. I haven't installed a new custom rom since - instead I use the LG rom and customize it with the Xposed framework and the G2 Settings module. It works great, except for some random update notifications from the LG app store from time to time.
Not really a the solution that I has looking for, but now I can use the phone as it was intended. Please keep me updated if you come about some other workaround.
Hello,
I have the i9505 and i have flashed it with [ROM]【4.4.4】Google Play Edition 07-17-2014 - Pure Nexus Edition build now available by @Danvdh and i absolutely love this ROM and works like a charm but there is one thing i am having issue with and i cannot say its a bug as looked over his thread but no one has mention it. i can comment or post in the developer thread due to the number of posts i have, however i come here to ask for help.
When I make a phone call, my screen goes completely black and when i try wake the screen up, it would take multiple times and sometimes i have to take the battery out. The call somehow runs in the background, so if i managed to wake the phone, i have to pull the notification down fast to hang up and this is pain in the neck.
I suspected it could be the proximity sensor in my phone, i have no cover or screen protector, i cleaned the screen and still the same. so i ran few tests to check the sensor. phone detects the sensor but it doesn't do anything.
Thank you in advance
after many research, i have found the issue and its fixed.
