Problem with proximity sensor and accelerometer and sound problem - Nokia 5 Questions & Answers

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.

Call problems. Disappearing sound in mid call. PLEASE HELP.

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.

2 Device problems i noticed on my phone.

First 1,gps needs around 10 mins in clear sky to lock my position , with gps fix(from the market) it takes 5-20 seconds.
Second and most important,all the people that i talk with cant hear my voice clear,i hear them clear tho,there is a really low pitch sound in the background when noone talking even on the road with full bars,i tryed 2g and 3g networks, i even tryed calling my phone from someone else phone and i couldnt hear his voice clear,when i used the headphones my callers heard my voice crystal clear.
I am thinking of taking my phone for replacement in the next 3 houers so i really apriceate any fast feedback especially for the second problem.
GPS fix is usually very quick on my X5 with data connection on, usually under 30 sec.
I've had one or two instances where a geocaching app wouldn't get a fix in 5 or 10 min. A reboot solved that every time.
As for the sound problem: sounds like your microphone is defect. No such problem on my phone...
1. You need to enable gps xtra for faster lock, in the same menu where you enable gps.
2. Some say that B160 rom creatly improves call quality, id try that from. Look from the dev section.
so gps is normal but microphone defective?
anyway,i got it back at the shop for a replacement i ll have a new in 4-5 days ,but im a bit woried if it will be defective again as there are some known problems like gps,wifi,light bleeding,burned pixels,flash player random reboots and i think i ve got 60-70% chance of geting a working one
I have a similar problem...
When people call me they tell me that my voice is very low. This changes when i hold the phone in front of my face, then it becomes better. But it is only good when I switch to the loudspeaker mode. Then you hear my voice clearly. Is it possible that this phone has a certain voice activation level and that this is set too critical?
And if it is so, can I set this threshold value anywhere?
edit: And can I edit the volume of the microphone itself too?
I find that if I have the phone tucked between my ear and shoulder (like you do when you are using both hands for something but still want to talk on the phone), noone can hear me at all.
But if using it "normally" (ie: by holding it to my ear with my hand) it works fine.
Does this device have a noise cancelling mic that is affecting things when the entire back panel is covered or something?
i have the same mic problem... i sent it for replacement...

My replacement came yesterday and mic is ok
True about GPS, just need to enable the option sanpsa said.
Mic, never had a problem so far.. touch wood.
Notwithstanding the fact that flipmodegr's microphone was obviously faulty, something to consider when others say they're having difficulty hearing you is the noise-cancellation microphone.
I suspect that those who're having problems might be covering or scraping the second microphone hole, or have a cover of some sort over it.
I haven't encountered the problem at all, but I'd be interested in knowing if those of you who have (outbound) audio problems are using any sort of cover on the 'phone while you're actually using it.

I'm pretty sure it's not a noise cancelling mic. It's just a directional mic for use when recording video.

Google search mentions a noise cancellation microphone exists.

I unfortunately don't have the option for xtra GPS - I only see Use GPS Satellites, and beneath that is GPS Source (which gives me only one option - Use internal GPS)
I am on Gingerbread - CyanogenMod 7.2.0.
Can you or someone else suggest a way to get around this problem? I am trying geocaching and the lack of GPS fix is really frustrating!
for me the GPS fast fix was only solved with replacing the gps.conf file, with this one

Excuse my ignorance but where do I need to change this? Or can you direct me to the right thread with the instructions?

Very weird sound - First time i ever hear it

Hi guys!
The sound started playing 2-3 days ago everytime i power my screen on.
The sound in question
Its not the lockscreen, i dont remember to install any new apk.
The issue is also linked with the infrared sensor not working properly. When im calling someone the screen flashes near my ear (the screen is not black)
Do you know whats causing it?
Many thanks!
I think it's s voice or talkback

Both are disabled... Is it possible is bios? Or maybe something overheating?

Call switching to loud speaker by itself

Hi
Has anyone else encountered this bug on the European version?
It's only been happening recently since the latest update.
As far as I can tell the screen is off when it happens so it shouldn't be a case of me touching the button with my face.
Further more, the loudspeaker button is not active even though the sound is coming from it!
I have to press it once for it to turn green (loud speaker mode) then once again to return the call to the ear speaker.
Weird!
This is probably not it but just an idea because a similar thing happened to me on my last phone. It turns out I had an app (AutomateIt) which is like tasker in that it does things in response to other things. In this case, I didn't realize it had a task setup that was supposed to automatically activate speakerphone based on the proximity sensor, and it just did not work reliably, activating speakerphone mode excessively.

A2 Proximity Sensor BUG / Issues - Discussion

I'm having an annoying BUG on my Mi A2 in relation to the proximity sensor.
Most of the time I'll listen to audio on WhatsApp, it turns on the audio for 1 second and then pauses.
I discovered a small solution, but it's a bit annoying to have to do it straight. Simply lock the screen and unlock again, so the audios return to normal operation.
The problem is that most of the time this happens after the device is locked.
Do you think Xiaomi will solve this problem soon?
I think this is not a problem with the sensor, because if it was, the test applications would not work properly, besides the calls where the sensor does not present any problem, only if you listen to audios in WhatsApp.
I had an A2 lite and also had a annoying problem, when I wanted to reduce or increase the volume, I had to run the audio, push the volume button and then put the phone on the face, this way I could control the volume normally.
Xiaomi, will you pack this BUG of the proximity sensor ???
Sorry for Bad English
I had this issue before but after converting to mi6x its fully working so its software
I think xiaomi doesnt have enough experience to release a bug free Android one rom

Interesting. I'm hoping to tidy up on Android Pie.

You can work around that (Turn off the Adaptive Brightness) in the display options and it will sort it, Hopefully, it will be fixed at some point.
