sorry my bad english

You didn't say anything beside your proximity sensor not working..
Did you do a full wipe?
What's your boatloader?
What build are you on?
Custom kernel?
Anything else you installed?

did you tried *#0*# ? this will take you to diagnostics menu. Go to sensors.. Check if values of proximity sensor change as you move your hand close to the sensor. Check light sensor as well.

This is definitely a firmware issue. i am also facing it..its really annoying. Shame on samsung that they didnt refine their ROM before its release......These aren't there in KK.
I am looking for a fix but till now couldnt find any....lets see.

Canadian S5 touch keys not working after custom rom

Hello everyone.
A few days ago I got the S5 - Canadian version g900w8 with FIDO firmware updated to MM. I flashed TWRP with Odin, and then the AllianceROM through recovery and the phone booted succesfully, but two capacitive keys (back and recents) are not working.
When i wake the phone both keys light for a moment. There is no reaction when i touch them they don't work in any way.
In recovery the back button is workin properly.
I tried to reflash various kernels but nothing helped.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Unique Problem. Please help.

Hello All,
I have a small problem. if anyone can help me out please help.
Recently I cracked my screen and hence went to a local shop to get it replaced. Once replaced my phone was not booting. I thought it maybe a software issue. Later I realized this happens due to hardware and maybe some connection is not made, like the headphone jack.
I opened my nexus and checked. Turns out that guy dropped my light sensor which is close to the front camera. There is no light sensor now in the phone. I cannot go back to him.
Can anyone please suggest me some ROM which skips this hardware test? or any other solution please?

From what i remember, proximity sensor causes such issue on Nexus 4. The solution was to downgrade modem to the very first one (from 4.2.2 factory image) and then flash either 4.2.2 or 4.3 stock firmware. Switching modem to a newer one causes bootloop on 4.3 and up. Try this, then it's possible that some more current custom ROM will work with an old modem as well, but that's something you'll have to check on your own.

THANK YOU!
Sir,
Thanks A LOT!
I cannot thank you enough. I have search everywhere, and your solution worked. I installed 4..2.2 radio then pre rooted factory image. Worked like charm
I am really grateful. Thank you.
