Hi everyone, I've been following the forum for a long time, this is the first time that I actually ask for something. I hope it's the right section!
I have an European s8, exynos model, and my proximity sensor isn't working. It doesn't bother me that much, the only problem that I've been having is that I cannot listen to vocals through the earpiece.
So my question is: is there an app, mod or something that could allow me to start playing vocal messages always and only through the earpiece? I have no warranty on the phone and repairing it would be too much expensive.
Any solutions?
Thanks!

I'm really sorry about opening a new thread, but i really need your help on this one. I don't know what it might be, I tried to search the forum for similar problems, but couldn't find nothing.
So the thing is the sound just disappears in mid call as for me and for the other end to, than it comes back, than it disappears again, and so on for the rest of the conversation. And, as you all would guess, that is very annoying.
My guess: Maybe something with the proximity sensor?
If someone experienced this and already found a fix for this, I would really appreciate the feedback.
Thanks in advance.
Proximity Sensor disables wlan
i have the same problem.
within speaker mode i can hear the melody from my PBX but moving the phone to my head or placing a finger above the sensors reduces or holds my wireless connection so i cant hear anything.
how can this behavior be changed. i want the sensor to dim the display and to lock the screen.
Hello everyone, time to report another issue (or not ?) I am having with my N4, and I need your help to see if it requires a return.
The microphone on my phone seems to give a ton of feedback when I am not in speaker mode. Whether I am using an earphone, or speaking directly with the phone on my ear.. tapping the microphone or breathing into it carries over pretty strongly into the earpiece. Some of my friends have said that I am sometimes pretty inaudible, I am guessing that's the microphone acting up.
Now I have read in some threads that the N4 microphone has a pretty high gain which often causes a distortion.. but I dont think this feedback is caused by that. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also, I have seen a few posts (not many) by people reporting this feedback.. but I am yet to come across anyone complaining about this when not using a earphone. Probably not many people start tapping their microphone while speaking on the phone.
Can anyone please tell me if you have faced this issue? If you haven't noticed.. can you please do me a favor and try it out ? Get on a call and check for microphone feedback by
a) using a earphone (not a hands-free headset)
and
2) speaking without a earphone with the phone on your ear.
I bought this in India with 1 year LG warranty.. and LG does not have the replacement policy which Play store gives. My seller has a 30 day replacement policy, and if I have to get advantage of that.. I need to call this in before 29th.
I am on stock ROM, Franco kernel r156 nightly. Build 513k, rev 11. Build Number JDQ39E.

Hi, Well I had an issue after rooting and installing all my apps , So I did a factory install rooted and started installing the app 1 by 1 and testing.
For me the issue was that if I was on a call and I pressed the speaker button my mic would stop working , even if i switched back , after extensive testing I found that ever time that happend the only was to make my mic work again would be task killer or manually clearing and restarting the phone app. I know it sounds strange but for those of you who have the same problem, try it you will see that you dont even need to reboot in order for the mic to start working again, But why the dailer?
Hey guys,
I am a proud S7 Edge owner since two weeks ago. I love it. The overall performance is astonishing y it's design ir ergonomic and beautiful.
But, nothing is perfect, and I found a little problem that is getting me crazy.
I live in Barcelona, and a use a lot the motorbike to move through the city. I have a Bluetooth headset installed in my helmet and i heavily use my LG G WATCH while riding.
I start calls using the watch, you know: "Ok Google, call to......."
The problem is that, while the device is in my pocket and if it is connected to the helmet's Bluetooth headset, the screen remains turned on, PROXIMITY SENSOR DOESN'T WORK while Bluetooth is working. Humidity in Barcelona is very high in summer, and I accidentally end a lot of calls, or while speaking I touch number buttons continuously, with is very disgusting for the person on the other side of the phone.
The user experience is absolutely frustrating.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
I came from a HTC M8, M9 and OnePlus X and didn't have this problem with them.
Thank you all.
There should be an option under Screen to keep the screen off while the phone is in a pocket.
I will answer to myself.
I found the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/screen-bluetooth-connection-starts-t2925836
Bluetooth headset's setting should be like in the attached image.
I hope it will help someone.
EDIT: Doesn't work for calls.
Im using TA-1024
Does this phone support proximity sensor? In antutu is says "Not supported", but it's a bit odd since that sensor support even 5+ year old phones.
Since july upsate rotation sensor is not working at all, before that update there was still a bug with rotation, but i was able to fix it with a restart, now even that is not helping. Is therw any way i can fix that?
There is also a problem with sound on loudspeaker, when playing somwthing on low volume i hear some buzzing and cracking. Anyone elae have that problem?

I own a Nokia 5 and I can confidently say that it does have a proximity sensor. However, I can't help you with your problem since I don't exactly understand what it is and never had a similar problem myself, so, sorry :/
Same
The phone does have a proximity sensor, I also have a problem with the sound buzzing at low volume.
Hello
I'm having an issue, well... not really an issue but an inconvenience.
I have a J5 2015 with LineageOS 16 installed. Everything has been working great until now. However, when I'm answering calls and want it to switch to the loud speaker, I have to manually do so every single time.
Is there any way I could let the phone automatically switch from ear piece to loud speaker when I leave the phone further away from my ear? I looked through all settings but didn't find anything relevant.
Thank you

That's not a feature of any ROM really. You use a tasker script to set it switch to loudspeaker with proximity sensor but if you don't know how to use tasker and scripts then you will definitely not be able to do it.
Very strange feature request. pixel, OnePlus, xiaomi, Samsung etc, none of these phones have a feature like this so I don't know why you are expecting it to be in the settings
Hello
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how often do you use it but I use it a lot. I normally have to do something else while the other person talk on the phone. That's why I want the phone to switch to loud speaker immediately when I put it down.
I previously used an IPhone 5s as my first smart phone and this feature was included. Guess I got used to having that around.
Could you share me the link how to set it up manually using tasker script?
Thank you
