Hello,
I noticed that the screen of my phone does not turn off when I speak on it so sometime I accidently hang up. I made sure that the proximity sensor in phone setting is on.
when I dial *#0*# and check sensors I get this:
Proximity: Null 0 (0.0.0) sometime (0.0.1)
btw I am on stock KE7 now I came back from Villain 1.1 to see if that fixes the problem and I factory rest many times.
any help ?
Thanks
You dont have a screen protector covering the sensor do you, as some can cause problems.

No I don't
Same problem here
I have the exact same problem, and I wanted to know what did you do, and did you solve it or not?
sounds like a hardware damage.. if you cant live without the sensor(i wouldnt want to ) i would take the warranty claim
I tried flashing it with the oldest and the newest roms on samfirm, and the issue remained with both roms, so i flashed it back to its original ROM and returned the phone today, and i'll wait for a week before getting another (thinking over)
hello everyone
my proximty sensor always turn on after few minutes of booting (turns red),
i dont know why i'm facing so much sensors problems, first was gyro sensor
and accelerometer in my first phone, now proximty sensor in this phone.
please tell me it is a problem, because when i returned my first device,
they replaced it with gt-i9100G, and i9100 is out of stock, so i may get lucky for
once in my life and get the device i want
thanks in advance.
Same with my i9100g..i dont know what to do with it?
for those who have gt-i9100G, please tell if you have the same problem or not
because all i9100G model may have this problem.
thanks.
Do you have a screen protector covering the sensor?
Yup it is covered with the gard I'll remove n try?
removing the screen gard did not help..,
it has 2.3.4.. will 2.3.5 help?

maybe it will....
i remember that i saw one with 2.3.5 that does not have this problem,
the problem is; the rom with 2.3.5 is for a specific region, so it might not work in your device,
additional informations:
i dont have anything attached to my phone, i did a factory reset to the phone
and there is no apps/games installed.
please confirm that you have this problem or not (please mention your android version)
thanks.

hey santacruzdz
what model of galaxy s ii do you have? i9100 or another one?
i was talking about the i9100G
i always check if my phone has some issues before flashing to unoffical/custom
roms becuase they void your warranty
hope you can solve it

My phone's proximity sensor stopped working, when i restard it works for one or two times and its not working again,
sometimes it is operating normally but about one hour later its stopping again . i was on stock rom and i tried different versions too.
i checked xda before writing this post and i saw one of SG2 owner phones front panel had changed by techical service.
my question is i send the phone to service today, and if there is mechanical problem on my device , they will change it.
So what is yours opinion about it? Is it a hardware or software problem?
Thanks a lot for the answers from now
Is your phone stock?
Have you tried re calibrating?
yes it is and i calibrated 4 or 5 times
any idea about my problem

Either
Have you a case on the phone if so remove it and test as this is the usual sensor culprit .
have you factory reset the phone ??
If not do so and test
Warranty is void if the phone has root or custom rom or rom counter is above zero be aware before returning to service .

thanks i removed the case before testing and yes i did factory reset before trying,
i used jig before giving it to service,
i know something wrong with the proximity sensor but the thing is confusing my mind; the sensor sometimes operates normally, its stopping working about 1 hour later or something like that, i hope the service decide there is problem with it. Otherwise it is a long process (about 3 or 4 weeks). I dont want to hear from service : there is no issue with your phone after waiting 1 mounth.

It looks like a hardware problem. Ask for a replacement, my friend.
i asked for replacement because i know it is the best phone till SG3 but as i mentioned up there i have doubt is service gonna agree with me?
i got my phone from service today, and they told me there is no problem with the sensors they upgraded to new firmware. I checked again the sensors by *#0*# test. The proximity sensor was same. The funny thing is a guy from technical servis said, there is no proximity sensor in this phone, and i asked which function of phone shuts of the screen while i m making calls? he said it is the light sensor.
i think it is gonna take time....
hello all
well iam posting this and i hope someone can help me out ....
2 days ago ive flashed my sgs 2 with the sensation rom 3.0 and well from the thread there i read that i have to flash the CF root kernel to the phone to get the rom working ... and thats what i did exactly , after flashing the rom worked and it was really pretty rom i liked it alot , however after flashing i noticed that its not easy to turn the phone screen on after locking it !!
i was busy that time and didnt do anything about it !
sadly after 15 to 20 min i wanted to make a call and at that moment the screen didnt want to fire at all !
i took the battery off and powered the phone again ... and i was shocked when i heared the notification of new email with nothing at all on my screen !
i thought it should be bad kernel for my model
so i downloaded the original firmware and odin was running again and all the that
but nothing !!! when the phone restarted after the flashing is done i heared the boot sound of it with still nothing on my screen !!!

the phone is working i tried calling it and it rings , the buttons are working , the touch is working i can hear sound when touching the screen !

Let me get this straight. You took it to Samsung who told you the answer. You posted the answer here, then asked XDA members to read it back to you?
The problem is the board.
thanx for replying
yes they told me the problem is the board , what iam asking here is if anyone in xda know what happen to the board that allow it perform all the os tasks except the screen ... is it the lcd filters ?? coz few minutes ago it came to my mind !
should i lose hope with this phone or try to fix it ?
thats the question
hello friends. this is my first post because i got a problem with my xperia mini pro.
i have to tell you it from the beginning because i think it is important to understand where is the problem. it was about some moths ago when i had problems when my phone was in standby and someone called me, it happened sometimes that my touch screen didnt responded and i couldnt take that call and had to restart phone. after restart it was ok. it didnt happen so often but with tim (i think another month) i happened maybe once every day. and maybe a month after that i first got stuck during i was doing something in my phone - not in locked state. sometimes didnt helped even one restart so i had to remove battery for a while but after that it was fine. at least for a while. i think that problems with touchscreen (or maybe better with digitizer) happened almost every day. i tried also reflash some custom rom i used before but it didnt help. so it got into state when touchscreen stopped working and i was very happy when it started to work for a while. it happed sometimes after factory reset in android service menu and once after many times reflash of rom and kernel but only till next restart. i also locked bootloader and gave there stock rom and many times reflashed stock rom but nothing helped now.
Lets say i also tried some advices in that that tutorial about 10 different way to repair bricked touchscreen. but i am not sure if it is actually hardware or software issue. it is very important to aim my effort. i dont know if i shouldnt buy some whole touchscreen+lcdf or just digitizer for sk17i on ebay or on the other hand try to solve software issue and reflash, restart, reset bricked touchscreen.
i dont have much experience like some guy in mobile phone service. in my mobile service they told me it is hardware issue and they will repaire it but it is very expensive from them. but i dont believe that guys at all so i write here.
My phone is after the warranty so i got an idea to buy sopme used sk17i with a warranty, change display with mine and give it into the mobile phone service where they will change the touchscreen for free and i could sell that both phones after that. i dont want that xperia anymore. but this can only work if it a hardware problem
so what do you think guys?
thanks for your advices

If you did a clean flash with stock rom & that didn't helped than its an hardware problem!
But you are luck if your touch is miss calibrated or its an overheating issue.
Do your mini's soft buttons starts pressing itself?
Go have a look here
