proximity sensor is not working v20c P500 - Optimus One, P500, V General

on the sensor firmware blunt, the screen turns off it is not possible to disable the incoming call, is sent in direct sunlight, or bright light from the lamp sensor works.
on V20c 2.3.3 proximity sensor is not working officially release
on version 2.2.1 v10g sensor works correctly)

up 22.07.2011
in v20e Proximity sensor is working but randomly, random screen fades out, then turn on, turn off during a call.

And why did you have to post in this section?

I have similar problem - with v20c proximity sensor during the call is switching screen on and off randomly (even when phone is on the desk). But in hidden menu test everything is ok. I don't have this problem in any froyo roms, or cm7.
Unfortunately, LG f*ck*d update to Gingerbread, many users have problems and are waiting for a good custom roms.
To end calls turn on ending with power button - settings > accessibility > power button ends call

I have exactly the same. Perhaps phone application is poorly calibrated with sensor. Like everything in this official update.

I'm not having this issue on v20g. However, I have the following added to my build.prop (thanks to Noejn)
ro.lge.proximity.delay=20
mot.proximity.delay=25

edit - I am having the same issue even with the edits though it's not quite as bad as the youtube vid.

Any news about the fix for this issue? I just flashed GingerLOL 1.5 ROM and faced this issue. It's based on V20c.

[Q] Hd2 Proximity sensor not deactivating

I am having a problem with my sensor not re-activating the screen when I move away during a call, and when I push any button except to end the call, the phone just disregards it. Is there an app or something similar to reactivate the screen with a button push, or is there something I'm missing?
can anyone help?
eh fore the moment I'm preparing to get sleep, and navigate/search with my device isn't so easy.
but if it can help you take a look on the Q&A thread if my memory is good I thought I have see a thread with this situation/ solution.

Have you installed GPRS_1_Minute_Auto_Disconnect?
This app disabled the proximity sensor on my HD2

Hi !
I'm facing the same problem since I upgraded to ROM 3.14.406.2 (french ROM)
Everything was fine before this upgrade.
What I've found is that while calling, when you put your phone away from your face and that the screen is off, if you put a light near the sensor, the screen turns on again.
I think HTC messed up while configuring the proximity sensor values in this ROM...
kinda annoying indeed !

Just install CHT 2.0 (and CHTE and CHTS ). There you´ll find a lot of toggle switches. One of them is for activating/deactivating the proximity sensor and another one is for relighting the sensor. That helped my HD2

Fix Miui ...

======================================
MiuiFix.zip is mixed from MIUI 2.2.17 & 2.3.2
it can fix Headset(MIUI 2.3.2) or Auto Brightness(MIUI 2.2.17)
MIUI232FIXen.zip does more things:
Fix MiuiSettings
Fix Flashlight (Torch)
Fix Headset
Add 2.3.7 Camera (it can focus)
Add ROOT
Fix wifi (It effects in my phone and I forgot to proint it out yesterday)
If you are using miui 2.2.17
MiuiFix.zip is enough
I believe button leds have a different way of working in miui (working with Auto Brightness)
but if you want the leds work like before (miui 2.2.17、2.3.3 or ealier,just except miui 2.3.2)
you can flash MiuiFix.zip and go into the "use custom" settings once
then flash 2217_signed.zip
you can find 2217_signed.zip in #5
======================================
Timeout.zip adds “Screen Timeout” choices (the red two)
30s 1m 2m 5m 10m 30m Off
but it will lose Korean Language (I hope hpa won't be angry)
I made it from miui 2217
but I believe it can be used in miui 232
for they are nearly the same
======================================
Auto Brightness(MIUI 2.2.17) fixes the crash of the whole phone in custom setting ?
Need to ask...
Can you fix the other issues specifically wifi not working 2.3.2?
• Torch is force closing, but on camera flash is working.
• vibrate doesnt work on messages and pressing home, back, select buttons on phone.
• Also the LED stay on even when the screen is dark.

1. Torch in miui 2.2.17 works well in miui 2.3.2
2. In miui 2217 english version (120314)
it works well
3. "settings-display-automatic brightness"
"advanced mode-use custom"
"edit other levels-buttons-0"
or if you want the leds work like before (miui 2.2.17、2.3.3 or ealier,just except miui 2.3.2)
you can (flash MiuiFix.zip and )go into the "use custom" settings once
then flash 2217_signed.zip

As for LEDs working, which MIUI version are you using 2.2.17 or 2.3.2? For 2.3.2 had to use advance settings and turn them off completely. Not sure right now if that is an issue or not that will require me to go back to 2.2.17.

Was just about to flash 2.2.17 when I got home since I've been using the Korean version.
MIUI232FIXen fixes the wifi as well for 2.3.2? Because thats the only thing I was waiting on before I flashed it.

Yep fixes pretty much everything, install LED patch you recommended works like a charm from my view point. LEDs are off when screen is off and on when screen is on, don't care about blinking when I have some sort of notification. Just wanted them not to always on. Thanks pointing me in the right direction. Did you try 2.3.2 and Manic's patch yet?
everything is works for me, thanks for this fix!
wifi, earphone, gps etc everything perfect!

Confirm flash with MIUI232Fixen.zip is fix wifi issue on MIUI 2.3.2
I will also move to 2.3.2 .....
Screen Timeout is there a fix for less wait time?
Only options I have are 30 seconds, 1 minute than big jump to 5 minutes. Is there patch or fix that will get me to 2minutes?
Applied MIUIFix to 2.2.17, now the LED lights stay on when the screen is off??
Torch works though

i have the same demand
I applied this patch and everything seems to be working great on 2.3.2
Thanks manics.
Just curious if anyone here uses any voip or sip apps? I notice Groove IP works great on MIUI- no echo anymore when the person calling me talks. Only issue I have is that the audio sometimes comes through the speaker instead of the earpiece and I have to press the button to switch between the two.

[Q] NEO V (MIUI4 2.8.31) Proximity sensor and stuttering ringtones

Hi all!
I've been using this great ROM by MaxWorks, however, after updating to the latest version 2.8.31 I've had a single issue.
The issue occurs when I receive a call, and the phone is in my pocket or covered by something (covering the proximity sensor); the ringtone does stutter until I get the phone out of my pocket or get the something off the proximity sensor, and the screen lights on, then the ringtone sounds normally without stuttering.
I've tried wiping the system, the cache, dalvik cache, and flashing Super Stock Kernel and Suave's Kernel then reinstalling the ROM after each kernel flash.
There's also another issue with the proximity sensor that happens sometimes while using the phone. The issue occurs when I'm trying to slide down the status bar, the screen turns off because my finger gets in the way of the proximity sensor, and then turns on again when my finger gets out of the proximity sensor's way.
Any suggestions to resolve this issue, I'd be happy.
Thanks all!
Me also facing the same problem sometimes... 'm using MIUIv4 (ICS) EN 2.8.31 NeoV/Neo by ZduneX25...!
Hope they will fix it soooon..!
Sorry for the misuse of my wording
It's the Proximity Sensor which locks the screen and causes these problems, not the light sensor
I'll try to roll back and reinstall the 2.8.24 until 2.9.7 gets released today
I had done a clean install of 2.8.24 and have tested the proximity sensor, and there had been no issues. Then I've done another clean install of 2.8.31, and the stuttering ringtones are almost gone, but I'm quite unsure yet. Wanna test it for a longer time. However, the proximity sensor issue when gets hovered by my finger isn't gone yet.
So I think it's a generic bug in MIUIv4 v2.8.31, and neither belongs to Max nor Zdune's ports, as you can see in the following quote.
Hey guys,
I'm facing erratic proximity sensor behaviour in the latest 2.8.31 rom.
When i wake my phone using home button, the proximity sensor kicks in for 3 to 5 seconds. When i hocer my hand near the sensor, the screen switches off and comes back when i move it away. Anyone facing this issue?

Thread title: Samsung Galaxy SII - Bugs in the latest rom (2.8.17)
Also many users have been complaining about the same issue inside this thread
and the developer, sandy, has uploaded some sensors lib fixes to resolve the issue
It seems the issues are totally resolved and gone in the 2.9.7 release.
Unfortunately, there is an issue in MaxWorks's Rom as the ringtone does not get repeated. It is played once only, and I tried Zdune's, and it's not there.
Therefore, I PMed Max as I can't reply into his thread, and I hope he'd get it resolved sooner.

Proximity Sensor Issue!

I’m having a serious issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100.
I was on stock 4.1.2 (rooted via Siyah kernel v6 b5) probably when the problem occurred. The problem is that whenever I make call, the proximity sensor light up and it make the screen black out even if I’m not holding the phone to my ear or so. It’s just lying on the bed. The screen doesn’t light up and I can’t hang up the call. I just can’t do anything till the other person hang up. Pressing home button and Power button just don’t work to make the screen go on.
P.S: The proximity sensor turns on when I first made a call after a reboot and it didn’t gooff till I restart even it stays on after the call.
I have tried formatting internal sd card and also wipe data/factory reset, clear dalvik cache, clear cache partition, flashed stock rom 4.1.2, flashed nexus 2.0 and even downgraded to official 2.3.5 but it didn’t worked out. I even tried to restore the EFS folder from my old backup but still it didn’t helped.
Here in the screenshot you can see the proximity sensor is active, on the home screen even no call is being made.
Please does anyone know what the issue is because it was working before?
Anyone?
I think you should replace the sensor....it's just 3-4 dollars,and it comes with the front camera and light sensor(AIO)

i9100 proximity sensor doesn't work
Hi to all!
I have the issue with proximity sensor and didn't manage to find a solution in other similar threads!
The matter is that it is always stay as Released.
In the same time in test screen (*#0*#) there are changing reading for PROXIMITY parameter from 2 up to 240 with no ADC parameter at all. Please look for screenshots. PROXIMITY parameter changes its value when I move my finger in front of the sensor, but as I can understand Android doesn't recognize it because of ADC absence.
Moreover I tried to change proximity sensor for working one (from another phone), but it shows the same as mine (with no ADC readings).
After all I think it is software problem, but I don't know how to solve it. I flashed different firmwares (now it is XWMSE NeatROM v.6.4), but nothing helped.
Please assist! Thanks!

Re-calibrate Proximity Sensor

Hi! The proximity sensor no longer works, so no Ambient Light Sensor, etc. I tried doing the test in the service menu (Proximity sensor no longer an option) but tapping "Ambient Light Sensor" displays a toast notification "This device does not support the function." I'm currently on eXistenZ 4.0.0 and AndroPlusKernel v14. Bootloader is unlocked. Problem started after I REFLASHED eXistenZ. Everything was working before, but I wanted to change an option and reflashed the Aroma installer for eXistenZ.
Repairing via Sony PC Companion does not work, nor thus flashing any firmware and wiping all data. I've read on different forums that sometimes flashing roms does this, and can be fixed by recalibrating the sensor.

Note that the above is for Samsung. I tried browsing to that location via Total Commander but there is no "/proximity_sensor". Do you guys have that? If so, mind uploading it so I'll try pushing it to my phone? There's also a calibration menu for Xperia Z I think that when bringing up said menu from *#*#SERVICE#*#*, you'd simply tap proximity sensor and it'd be fixed.
Any suggestions (aside from taking it back for warranty, since I bought this from the gray market) would be helpful!
