Problem with proximity sensor

I got a problem with the proximity sensor.
It often doesn´t do anything.. but sometimes it shuts off the display but does not wake it up when the HD2 is away from my head or (when i´m testing it) i put the finger off the sensor.
Today i experienced 2 times a little creak noise? (dont know the correct word in english) when the sensor should begin to work.. and the display didnt get dark!
I´m a bit worried about it.. anyone experienced the same thing?
Search ..
i did.. it´s a common problem i guess but never read that there is this "creak" noise.. sounds like a short circuit!
got similar prob when i had HDtweak installed. uninstall fixed it...

Are you pressing where the sensor is or does it make this noise simply by covering it up?

I'd get that looked at then. It definitely shouldn't make a noise when it's covered up.
Hi,
there is lots of post about trouble with proximity sensor...
here is mine :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607956
I think the scratch sound is an other trouble, and no link with the proximity sensor.
the only way i found (after 3 change of phone) is SmartLock cab.
Try it.
I know there is something in the registry to disable the proximity sensor.

I have the same problem, thare is two holes on the screen who is the proximity sensor, I think the left one is working with light, when you take a flash light while you on call the screen will go off when you put light on the sensor, but I think on the left one. the right hole does not work.
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

Disable proximity sensor? Driving me nuts...

I don't put my phone in my pocket and I hate the feature that the phone turns off when sensor is barely covered. I've done this many times with my hands or fingers and it's very annoying. Turns on, turns off 1 second later..
My phone is rooted and I'll edit anything to fix this problem. Anyone know how?
Many thanks
I am also looking for a solution to disable the proximity sensor.

[Q] Proximity Sensor Bug

Hi!
Every time I receive a call, the screen shuts down due to the proximity sensor.
But after I take it away from my ears, the screen doesn't light up.
This is not a sensor bug, I checked.
Can it be due to an outdated modem?
Is anyone else facing the same problem, and has anyone found a fix yet?
Dear id74em8,
TRY THIS..this should hopefully fix your issue with the proximity sensor on the phone
1. Go to Dialpad.
2. Dial *#*#7769#*#*
3. A proximity sensor calibration window will pop up.
4. Press “Start”
5. The sensor will be automatically calibrated, a message will appear “ Calibration Good”
HIT THANKS IF THIS WORKS
Cheers !!!

No AOD when using Samsung Clear View Flip Case?

Exactly as title says. Anyone else have the official clear view case from Samsung? Does AOD work when your cover is closed? Would be pretty convenient and for some reason Samsung decided not to include this handy feature...
It's a limitation I think.
AOD require light sensor, proximity sensor and some other sensor to work. The cover render these sensor useless and then may cause problem with AOD, so that's what I think why samsung disable it.

Well the proximity sensors work when talking on the phone with the cover closed... Seems like to me this can be implemented with a minor update.

Are you sure?
I'm not sure about how this kind of case work on new device but I used to have S-view case on my old s4 and it doesn't use proximity sensor to turn display off when calling with cover closed but use motion sensor to detect the movement of the phone to guess whether I'm holding my phone close to my face (and it fail sometimes)
Maybe you can test this by placing your phone on the table when recieving call. Without moving the phone, try cover the proximity sensor and see whether the screen is off.

You are correct sir, it does not use the proximity sensors when the clear cover is on. But even with that, it uses the phone's other sensors to wake and sleep the screen... Why can't this be applied to the AOD? Just a little thing that would be nice to have.

Because AOD use proximity sensor to detect whether your phone is in the pocket and turn itself off to save battery. Motion sensor can't do that. Also for motion sensor to detect your movement it need to be on all the time, thus massive battery drain.
