Am I the only one having problems with the Proximity Sensor on the Atrix? I can't seem to get it to kick in when on a call. I have already dial-toned a couple of people when talking on the phone. I have tried covering up the sensor by placing the palm of my hand over the to 1/2 of the phone and it never kicks in.
Can someone verify for me that it does work and not some software bug.
Thanks,
Ed
Did you ever find the problem? My proximity sensor has stopped working also.
i am having an issue with mine too. at first i thought it was an issue with the screen not coming back on, but now i realize that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen at all and my screen is just turning off when the screen timeout value is reached.
my phone is rooted, i have used titanium backup to freeze some of the apps associated with blur, and i have installed the hack to use webtop mode. can others that have this issue confirm if they are running stock or modified software?

Any of you guys ever find a fix for this? I just noticed that mine is not working anymore either. It's rooted using aRoot but it was working for a while and now it doesn't anymore. I have another couple of days to exchange in store if I want to if it's a phone issue.
Crap, I'm having the same issue now too -- was working fine since I had it, but this occured just today, Day-2 of using 1.5.7 .... wonder if it's related ...

Reboot seems to fix this -- but annoying >_<
Is anyone that is having these issues using bluetooth? I have isolated mine to bluetooth and sent an issue report to Motorola.
same problem here but not using bluetooth
My wife's Atrix does the same thing. "dials or hangs up while in a call". She does not own a bluetooth headset and I have only connected a Motorola 305 one time to it. Reboot fixes the problem. Reboot seems to take forever when compared to my Dell Streak.

Hi I believe I traced the problem with the proximity sensor not working to Handcent SMS. On two separate Atrixes, as soon as I uninstalled Handcent and rebooted the phone the problem went away and stayed away. I have since installed GoSMS and now it happens just sometimes (usually after I install a new app) but a reboot after installing an app ususlly fixes it.
My Phone has a standard Telstra (Australia ROM) and is not unlocked or modified in any way.

If you are using unlocked bootloader or if u have unlocked the dim using a code then u will have to disable the In Pocket detection and then try sounds crazy but worked for me.

Similar issue
Just installed latest stable build onto my Atrix 4G, everything seemed fine last night, although I was using phone with bluetooth, this morning get a call, answer, screen goes dark, red proximity light comes on, and I can hear no sound, [later on the caller said he could hear me fine].
Phone would not wake up right off, and when it did it I still could not hear caller.
Been screwing around with settings all morning to no avail, discovered that the phone will only work with bluetooth device connected. without bluetooth the device goes dark, cannot wake up, have to hard reboot, with bluetooth and volume button awaken enabled, it performs normally, so possible connection to issues in post with proximity but with a bluetooth twist...

I'm not sure it's a problem with your phone, I think it's meant to do that . I don't know if there's a mod out there to stop it though...
It's definitely meant to do that
damn then i have to hope that a mod will be released
Turn the phone off?
I think you should request a dev to do that as I think it will never be made as your phone should really do that. I'm not sure if there's even a phone which will not turn on its screen when a sms is received.

Coming from htc phones all this while..this screen turning on when recieving sms/mms/email is really annoying..hopefully someone can cook something to totally prevent this. I guess samsung designed it thia way due to lack of notification led.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
on my nexus one, the screen will not turn on when an sms is received. but i can turn this option on if i want so that the screen DOES turn on with an sms. its all about choice. maybe you guys could try handcent, and root and remove the stock messaging app to stop this.
i've just noticed that my phone has started doing this too.
i have sms popup installed and the default sms notification is turned off therefore sms popup should handle the sms notifications.
i have "leave the screen switched off" set in sms popup but the screen still turns on.
this is also happening with the exchange client and i think it might have started since KE7 ...
any ideas ?
Anyone else having issues with the proximity sensor not working when on a call? Screen stays on for me when its against my ear. I'm also rooted with Alien rom and Knightwolf's themes.

I have the newest update installed. I would rather not reinstall but it seems like it's my only choice. #Sadguy
I updated and still have the problem. sucks!
this was covered in another thread.. I can't recall where but the fix for this is related to the in pocket lock setting...
go into menu > settings > display
disable 'in pocket' detection..
reboot your phone..
after reboot, you may enable it again if you use that feature or leave it off.
PROFIT !!
I take no credit for this fix. I don't remember who discovered it but I'm sharing it because it bothered me after the update as well.
If this works/helps, remember to hit that magic thanks button
I've tried that and it doesn't work...only thing so far that works is a reboot

This may sound crazy but mine does this only at work??? When I'm at home its fine. So I'm not so sure its hardware as opposed to radio or software. IDK?

This isn't a device/hardware issue either. Something causes the sensor to shut off or fail. I feel this is software related.

I downloaded androsensor from the market, and you're right the prox sensor just stops responding... Says waiting for event, and after a reboot it gives an output of 1.2 our 39.4 inches.... Not sure what the prob is. I read on another forum that out may have something to do with rooting the phone, but I don't adhere with this. Are you guys with the problem rooted?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
had the same problem. turning off "in-pocket detection" worked for me.
Just to confirm. Once I disabled the in pocket feature the proximity sensor works just fine.
Once you disable the in pocket feature you will need to power off your phone than re power it up and it should be fine.

I have tried multiple roms (Homebase, Star Wars, and stock) and it still malfunctions. definitely seems like a hardware issue.

yea was really annoying.....but it went away after updating the phone
Anyone still having the problem? I am. Im on the latest OTA and did a hard reset via recovery. Moto forums seem to think it has something to do with Bluetooth. Is it a known hardware issue? Resetting the phone always fixes it.
Ya mine does that too....i never ever use blue tooth so that cant be the only issue..bluetooth is off
On the latest update. 6 or whatever was just released the other day ..i manually pushed it with rsdlite
We will see if that fixed it

I am running AOKP ver 35.1 I have noticed that my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. and I'm not sure when I lost it. I have been all over in the settings it is set to vibrate. somewhere I think I seen that it was broken in ICS any ideas for me?
Thanks

My vibrate is working on 35.1. It could possibly be a bad download or maybe your vibrate motor just wore out. ( it is one of the few moving parts in our phone)
You could try redownloading/ reflash and if that doesn't work, I would return to stock eh03 to see if it functions at all.

so i thought i was having that issue till i hit the call button, went into dialer settings and enabled vibrate from there. try it out
I honestly had sort of the dame issue twice. I would get a weak weird vibrate instead and when I reset the phone it was fine again. It us probably due to the age of the phones is my best guess.

Hi,
My Xperia S suddenly quit vibrating at all, not for (text) msg's, incoming mail/sms etc, and haptic feedback for the 3
bottom keys doesnt work as well as that for the keyboard. Yesterday for some reason it stopped, but after a while it
returned. However, atm there's no vibrating at all again, which is annoying since I dont like to check everytime if I have a
msg or not.
I did not turn it off myself, and checking the settings it's still on. Furthermore nothing happened to the phone in terms of
mechanical damage. I did not recently (last few days) install new apps, but updated to firmware 6.1.A.2.45 5 days ago.
I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred only yesterday.
Phone software is just the original stock software.
Anyone recognizing this problem and perhaps has an idea on how to solve it? I'd be very thankful...
Thanks in advance,
Nanoxy

Hm actually I hoped it could be some software bug... I wouldnt be happy to
send it to sony etc... too much trouble
Isnt there some code I can dial to check if vibration works at all? I think I read somewhere about it but cant find it now...
And, if I use "back up and repair" function of pc companion, and repair using a back up of lets say 1 week ago, will I lose any data?
I mean of course I lose things I did this week, but for the rest are there things I should know before trying this?

But well, total reset + restore with back up does not help... I find it hard to believe that its a hardware problem though...
how's that possible for no reason :s

Yeah mine worked all the time, but stopped working at a moment not close to an update...
besides, vibration is not AT ALL working... I cant even force it to vibrate after installing some
of those sad "vibrator" apps or whatever... I'm afraid the only thing I can do is let it repair, which totally sucks.

There's always something.
