Dear developers,
On Thursday i updated my S8+ (955-FD) from Oreo to Pie via ODIN. But yestarday I ealized some part of my touchscreen won't recognize finger. Everything is okay except touchscreen then today sensors such as Proximity, Ambient Light, Magnetic, Accelerometer, Barometer, Compass, IR are died too. There is my *#0*# results. Sensors died before this too but it comes by itself. And no I didn't dropped my phone :/

Hi all,
I've installed TouchLockPro as suggested at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5254295#post5254295
Initial testing seems to prove that it has fixed the problem, well it's a workaround.
It senses (via the G sensor) if the phone is held upright during a call and turns the screen off- no need to rely on the poor proximity sensor.
Please test and let me know how you get on.
There doesn't seem to be any config- just install and it works.
If your proximity sensor does not work then return the device. I have no problems with it at all. Only think I would say is for it to also switch things on/off when phone not in use.
I used to have problems with the proximity sensor but it's been working perfectly since I upgraded to 1.48.
FYI- The proximity sensor does work on my phone. It just proves to be intermittent at sensing- this has been documented by other users.
The main problem is that it doesn't work very well next to hair. So I don't have any problems with the proximity sensor, but my wife (with long hair) does.
proximity sensor works fine for me as long as I don't use the keypad during a call; once i enter anything during a call (like calling card number, extensions etc) the proximity sensor stops working.
I think this bug doesn't show up when using the wired headset, have to confirm this though.
After two weeks testing I found out that the original screen protector with the two holes for the sensor makes the problems!!!
thake the screen protector out or cut it and the proximity sensor will work perfect.

I had posted this question in the AmericanAndroid thread first (since that's the ROM I'm using) but then I figured this might be a general problem with Android/HD2 so I figured I post my problem here as well.
When I first installed Android on my HD2, the proximity sensor did not work at all. Then suddenly along the way it started working properly. I have no idea why or what I did that made it work. I use Leppie Proximity Sensor Recalibrator to check the operation of the proximity sensor (it displays "NEAR" when I move my finger close to the sensor, and "FAR" when I move my finger away).
The other day I noticed the screen wouldn't come on when in call and when I moved the phone away from my ear. Checking with Leppie's, I saw it toggled from FAR to NEAR when I moved my finger towards the proximity sensor, but it would then stay on NEAR. It would never switch back to FAR. Then quite by accident, I found out it would work perfectly if I hold the phone face down.
This hasn't anything to do with the light sensor, since I've tried in a dark room with the same results. Face up and the proximity sensor does not work. Face down, it does.
Anyone any ideas?
Hey everyone,
I'm kinda new to this section of the forum, I've had the sprint galaxy s3 and been in that forum but,I just recently bought a unlocked at&t galaxy s4 on ebay a few weeks ago for a cheap price, because the screen was cracked, but the lcd and digitizer was intact.All of my features was working air gesture the whole nine even with the cracked screen.I bought a new screen online and paid someone who fix screens 20$ to fix my screen.All is working and the screen is very responsive and perfect,but it seems that my air gesture sensor/proximity sensor isnt working and the RGB light sensor seems like its blocked by something because it lights up but you can only see a partial part of the light like its covered up or being blocked.Every time i go into stock browser i can see the hand icon showing up but its only responding to my tilt to scroll function.My hand movement isn't working at all or the other air gesture features.I have everything checked in the sub-menu and also used the *#0*# code.The guy said he will fix it for me but i wanted to know was the proximity sensor and air gesture sensor connected because I've seen the proximity sensor flex cable on ebay for like 6$ so maybe he might have damaged the sensor flex cable when replacing the screen.
I just switched out my GS4 proximity sensor cause it wasnt working but I think I might messed up the mic or something cause when im in a call sometimes while in the call it sound like raspy or like auto tune I was wondering did i mess something up and what I should do to fix it.Also,it seems that even after i put in the new proximity sensor my air gestures still arent working could it be blocked or something cause my screen was cracked but the LCD was perfect and got someone to replace it but after he replaced it my air gestures just stopped working could it be when he replaced the screen he b locked the sensor from being read should i replace the screen again what should I do.I thought the proximity sensor was the sensor that controlled the air gestures too.And when i use *#0*# under sensor the proximity sensor reads
Proximity 1.0
TSP Color ID 1.0
ADC 228(228,228,229) and it changes to 230,250,255 Please Help I really want to get this fix or imma just sell it.
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:
