So iv been having a weird issue with my s7 edge. it usually only happens just after unlocking the phone, not always. But when i go to swipe down my notification tray, ill swipe over the proximity sensor, and the sceen will turn off and the phone will lock. Even just hovering over the proximity sensor will do this. Has anyone else had this issue?

I've been having this same issue and it drives me nuts. I'm going to feel like an idiot if that one little trick fixed it lol. If it does fix it, then you are the man!

I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 with a broken screen. It's still usable but there is a significant crack directly in front of the proximity sensor. My guess is this is causing the proximity sensor to malfunction and the phone thinks its next to my face every time a call is in progress. This only happens on CM roms. Stock ROM's work great. With CM ROMs I cannot make or receive calls because the screen goes black and we have to pull the battery.
I've tried all the different proximity sensor fix apps and even tried hex editing and scripting with terminal. Nothing is working. I have to stay on stock ROM unless I can find a way to disable the proximity sensor in CM Roms.
Any ideas?
You can turn off proximity sensor on OD2 Lollipop.

Sweet! Thanks for the reply. Is this just a regular setting or is there a hidden menu or something like that?

update touchscreen firmware, if not, it's a hardware defect.
there's plenty of these threads around
You can try update firmware but probably won't help. I have it too, for the second time. The fix is to replace the screen.
It often happens when charging the phone while doing something that makes it heat up. The cpu gets too hot and fries that part of the screen.
It can definitely happen without charging. I'm using a different phone now.

In 3d games and parts of the gui there are random dots like banding is this a screen malfunction? It can't be software right? How unreliable. What do I do? Return it? Ugh I just got it. Wtf is wrong with Motorola qa in its factories?? This is unacceptable. Will they send me a replacement before I have to return the defective unit? Is there a quick fix? What are my options?

It's mainly whenever it's showing green. But it has to be software issue not the screen hardware or else screenshot wouldnt have captured this issue. Those bright dots run around whenever there is motion. Even in the Android gui

Does anyone know if a factory reset might fix this issue. It's not going away. Established that it isn't a hardware problem as I sent the screenshot from another phone and looking at it.

Ether turn off always on display or let the screen time all the way out. The screen saver will not turn on if aod starts. That was my issue anyway. Good luck.
I have AOD turned off & let the screen timeout and let it sit and the screen saver never turned on?

I've been having this same problem! I'm currently running the U firmware on an att edge. When we go into screensaver settings, the "More" button isn't there, just "Preview". Therefore, we can't set the phone to use the screensaver while charging, its only set to do it while docked. Anybody know of any way to make that "More" button appear or perhaps another way to get into those particular settings?
Yep same here only the preview button shows

Mine is doing this too. The button is not a button that can by pushed or dragged, it doesn't seem to do anything.

It's weird, I haven't knowingly changed anything either. Just started doing this.

The Verizon rep fixed it it was something called integrated messaging on the account that had to be removed it's apparently a known bug that they're working on

to theprfct10..do you know what the verizon tech did to integrated messaging to fix the bs headache ?
this is known bug that they're working on. just need to wait for update
I don't know of a permanent solution, but if you go into setting and reset network it gets rid of it til the next system update.
