Hi all,
I've installed TouchLockPro as suggested at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5254295#post5254295
Initial testing seems to prove that it has fixed the problem, well it's a workaround.
It senses (via the G sensor) if the phone is held upright during a call and turns the screen off- no need to rely on the poor proximity sensor.
Please test and let me know how you get on.
There doesn't seem to be any config- just install and it works.
If your proximity sensor does not work then return the device. I have no problems with it at all. Only think I would say is for it to also switch things on/off when phone not in use.
I used to have problems with the proximity sensor but it's been working perfectly since I upgraded to 1.48.
FYI- The proximity sensor does work on my phone. It just proves to be intermittent at sensing- this has been documented by other users.
The main problem is that it doesn't work very well next to hair. So I don't have any problems with the proximity sensor, but my wife (with long hair) does.
proximity sensor works fine for me as long as I don't use the keypad during a call; once i enter anything during a call (like calling card number, extensions etc) the proximity sensor stops working.
I think this bug doesn't show up when using the wired headset, have to confirm this though.
After two weeks testing I found out that the original screen protector with the two holes for the sensor makes the problems!!!
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

I had posted this question in the AmericanAndroid thread first (since that's the ROM I'm using) but then I figured this might be a general problem with Android/HD2 so I figured I post my problem here as well.
When I first installed Android on my HD2, the proximity sensor did not work at all. Then suddenly along the way it started working properly. I have no idea why or what I did that made it work. I use Leppie Proximity Sensor Recalibrator to check the operation of the proximity sensor (it displays "NEAR" when I move my finger close to the sensor, and "FAR" when I move my finger away).
The other day I noticed the screen wouldn't come on when in call and when I moved the phone away from my ear. Checking with Leppie's, I saw it toggled from FAR to NEAR when I moved my finger towards the proximity sensor, but it would then stay on NEAR. It would never switch back to FAR. Then quite by accident, I found out it would work perfectly if I hold the phone face down.
This hasn't anything to do with the light sensor, since I've tried in a dark room with the same results. Face up and the proximity sensor does not work. Face down, it does.
Anyone any ideas?
Hi everyone,
since a few weeks i got problems with the proximity sensor on my i9505
First i thought that it is software related but after clean installing a new ROM yesterday i see that the problem still exists...
It happens when the proximity sensor should react, when i am close to it, it reacts and activates but the problem is that it wont turn off again...
i dialed the test menu and went to sensor test, as i see the sensor sees the distance normaly, when i bring it close and when i move it away i see that the numbers react how they should, however after the sensor is once trigerred with a close object it starts to vibrate and the screen turns green (how it should), but after moving away it registers the distance but it won´t stop to vibrate and turn off :/
Anyone who knows what could be wrong?
I have to mention that the display was changed once (because of the glass broke) but it was working normal for months...
EDIT: after testing again i see that the sensor sees the distance just as it should the only problem is that once that the sensor action is triggered to 1.0 from 0.0 it stays at 1.0 no matter if i remove my hand...
Hi, my proximity sensor has gone.. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't works. I tried this app. I leave the phone alone on the desk and it randomly change value between 0cm and 5cm although i don't touch it. Is there something to fix it or just calibrate the sensor?
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.
