Proximity sensor calibration

For people having issues with the proximity sensor (eg. not turning on/off while in a call)
there is a toppic at modaco with a calibration procedure that seemed work nicely to everyone.

basically you should go to the dialer and dial *983*0#
test your light and proximity sensors and then the calibration button

[Q] LG G2 knockON and proximity sensor

Ok guys my question is this, when i have knockon enabled, if i am covering the proximity sensor, the screen does not turn on. So, am i right to assume that this phone has the proximity sensor always on when knock on is enabled?
That would also mean that using apps with pocket mode(meaning they use the proximity sensor to turn on the screen automatically when you remove the phone from pocket) would have absolutely no extra battery drain because the proximity sensor is already always on. Am i correct?

Proximity Sensor Issue

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.

A700fd proximity sensor

I have a700fd on Indian firmware bpd4.
I noticed that the proximity sensor of my phone is continously working (?????). It is doing its job perfectly though.
Seeing it through another phone camera it shows continously flickering red light from the proximity sensor.
I want to know if it's normal for A700FD??
Can anyone confirm this?
I checked same with my note 5 and its not the same with that.
