Proximity Sensor Fix

Hi, my proximity sensor has gone.. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't works. I tried this app. I leave the phone alone on the desk and it randomly change value between 0cm and 5cm although i don't touch it. Is there something to fix it or just calibrate the sensor?

Gyroscope and double tap to wake

Hello zenfone users,
Today my sister's zenfone 2 laser arrived (ze550kl) and I have two questions:
The specification says that it has gyro but it's not working in youtube or Google camera ;\ cpuz shows "orientation sensor" that works like gyroscope because it shows angle of the device. What do you think? Is this real gyroscope that we will be able to use after modding?
My second question is about double tap to wake. I enabled it in settings but it's not working at all. In one shop that had zenfone laser on display it was working flawlessly. Is this hardware issue? It hasn't got any protector on screen. In fact all of the off screen shortcuts are not working.
Edit
OK sorry I'm stupid xD Doble tap works. I was trying it using this plastic cover that it comes with so proximity sensor thought that something is in front of it so tap wasn't working sorry.
My phone is ze 500 kl that's why it doesn't have gyro xd

I'm interested in knowing about gyroscope also, I'm planning to buy a ze601kl but if no gyro it's a no go for me...
Did you try with z-devicetest or similar sensors app to see if it works there?

Well I checked cpu-z on my friends moto g 2gen that has real gyro and it has both gyroscope and orientation sensor on the list. Both were showing angle of the phone but orientation in degrees and gyro in radians so that's strange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/specs-asus-zenfone-2-laser-t3242377 this says that it has gyro but for example google camera/youtube 360 can't see it.
edit
allright I found info here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_position.html
Orientation sensor is not a gyro! It works similar but it uses geomagnetic field sensor in combination with a device's accelerometer.
EDIT
ok again I'm stupid it's ze500kl not ze550kl xdd sorry
Plz mod delete this useless thread

Proximity sensor issues

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.

Case messes proximity sensor

Dear all,
I have bought a new case to my good old Note4. The case is great except that its edge is a bit too close to the proximity sensor. The result is that the screen goes off during every call and when playing whatsapp audio.
As I want to use this case (it offers perfect protection) I would like to ask:
- Will the permanent detection of close proximity cause any harm to the sensor?
- Is there any way to get around this? (disable the sensor or recalibrate it so it would not respond to the false positive?)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

maybe slightly cut the case so that it doesn't block the sensor
