Need Help related to proximity sensor

But i don't wnt to do that... i wnt to fix it by only software... plz help guys.

You should bring your phone to ASUS for glass fixing
If you using LineageOS, go to Settings => Buttons => Turn on End call by Power Button. This may be helping for a time

Dude i don't have problems with calling... but my double tap to wakup not working also when i am using third party apps like messenger imo etc my screen goes completely black... then i have only one option to restart my device

You can find the proximity sensor file in your root folder, maybe if you delete it or renamed it, it will disable the sensor.

Disabling the proximity sensor

Got my screen replaced at a local shop after it cracked.
But now the proximity sensor is not working properly as it always detects that it is covered.
Proximity testing apps show that the sensor always shows the value as 0.0 (covered).
can someone help me on how to disable the proximity sensor completely as i face black screen during calls and can't record/hang-up/put on speaker....
I'm rooted and running cosmic os 7.1.1 so xposed is not a solution
Need help disabling it.

:bump:

Disable proximity sensor ZE552KL

Hi everyone,
I own a Zenfone 3 ZE552KL that recently showed an issue with the proximity sensor.
It always returns positive, i.e. as if something is close.
I tried an application to recalibrate the sensor and I also asked a repair shop to clean the sensor itself but no luck.
Also, since the proximity sensor is soldered to the mainboard it's not possible to change it.
As a workaround I used the function from the dialer to set the screen always on during calls. However, after having moved to LineageOS 16 (with Android 9) I am not able to find the same option.
Do you know any workaround to disable the proximity sensor?
Maybe there is another ROM who gives you the possibility to set screen on during calls?
I will be happy to discuss and receive few suggestions on the topic
Thanks!
J.
