I am nooby on this forum & nooby on the android technology
I have a xperia active (Android 2.3.4 ,kernel 2.6.32.9-perf),and i have a problem with skype from market.Work only the rear camera.It 's a bug problem or i did a mistake ?
Thank you for the help.
Active doesn't have a front camera so its not gonna work

are you sure ?? I look and i reed specifications ant have 100% front face camera.
According to the documentation that came with my active, the five "holes" you can see at the top are, from left to right: light sensor, notification LED, speaker, proximity sensor 1, and proximity sensor 2. No camera.
Ok you are right thank you for your help.

Hello to all...again !!
Recently, i broke the digitizer flex cable and the antenna cable connector so i had to
replace both of them. I did. Antenna works great, digitizer works great..the only problem
is the proximity sensor.
I have disassembled the device several times and if i'm not mistaken the proximity sensor
is on the digitizer's ribbon cable. Is that correct?
Anyway, everytime i make a call, the screen goes black and can't turn it on. No way to NORMALLY turn it on.
the only way i've found that turns on the screen, is if i put the sensor in front of a light i.e a lamp.
Furthermore, when i go in the service menu ( *#*#7378423#*#* ) and do the proximity switch test it defaults to on
when i think it should default to off (because at the time i'm starting the test, there's no obstacle in front of the proximity sensor).
when i move the sensor in front of a light, the test gives me a sound and the value changes from on to off.
So i'm thinking that there is nothing wrong with the hardware. They didn't send me a flawed digitizer, did they ?
Plus, is there any config file or driver responsible for that sensor ?
Also, i searched xda and found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMk1S90MjbY for motorola defy. Is there
any workaround like this for the neo v?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
bump?
The proximity sensor is on the right corner, between front camera and the right corner.
Check again the position of the sensors beneath those two black piece of plastic.
The items are, from the left to right:
- speaker;
- light sensor;
- front camera;
- two viewer for the proximity sensor.
@ciubexx
thank you for your answer.
I checked the sensors and are correctly positioned but the problem persists.
Again, if i put the device under light the sensor seems to work.
Also, i've downloaded "proximity sensor finder" from google play and it seems like
the sensor is constantly covered. I did the test without the front housing and the same
happened again.
Also, i have a problem with the earphone. When the front housing is attached the volume is
very low but when removed, the volume is normal again. What could that be?
Thanks again.
edit: everything solved. disabled the sensor and removed earphone's cover from front housing.

Bringing this thead up again because I am having the same issue, Proximity sensor set to near all the time... could it be badly placed? I was ever so careful to get it millimetrically perfect..
something must be causing the sensor to read an input all the time. Ever considered there could be some dust below the glass? Try and see what happens when you take the screen assembly away from the sensor. Another cause would be a deffective part (bad ribbon/flex components).
Thank good lord I managed to buy a genuine Sony flex ribbon
Hi out of the blue my Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i ambiance light sensor is either disable or broken ,
when i open service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* , ambiance light sensor just show value = 0, i shine lights over also won't change....
is it possible its disable or broken? please help, my phone is out of warranty, i was hoping for a DIY repairs on it, any guide or tips on which part should i replace,?
thanks in advance
Hey there. I'll just assume you're using a stock rom, and I'll asume it (your light sensor) is actually broken.
"Repairing" it wont be cheap, because it's part of the flex ribbon/cable assembly, which also holds the front camera, notification LED, proximity sensor, home button, display/touchscreen assembly connector and speaker pins. Pretty much everything is soldered to this component.
There *could* be a problem with your flex ribbon. Perhams some of its wires are starting to break? I know this can lead to all sorts of issues, because it started messing with my LED some months ago. But, on the other hand, it might just be a faulty sensor.
Whatever it might be, I say you leave it as it is. Replacing the flex is no joke on the XMP.

thanks for the reply.... im not on stock rom , its 4.04 zelly cream 6.0 AWESOME ROM!!! love it... but before i flash this, i already have issue with the sensor ...
hmm i saw a video on replacing the lcd screen, seems not that hard, just lots of steps... but problem is im not sure where to find the replacement part for the board as u mention, the lcd is common in ebay, etc...
thanks for the reply by the way. i willing to fix it myself as i love this phone alot!! i use it for work,papago gps map, calls, fb ,messaging thats all.. the keyboard and its compact body is my fav combination...
Ebay
Search on ebay for "flex cable sk17i".
Before disassembly please make sure that the cable you will receive has all the sensors and the camera. The first time I purchased such a cable, it came without proximity sensor... Unfortunately I cannot upload pictures or links, but google is your friend, right?
If I were you, I'd look for a flex ribbon with the "1241-7544" part number between the big gray square and the display port/slot. Genuine parts WILL have this number, cheap knock-offs don't (at least most of the time).

I'm guessing that you use a screen protector? If yes, that's the issue (if it covers the sensor). Also, always remember to WIPE (Factory reset) after updating to new bases, like 4.1->4.4->5.0->5.1 (i.e each release with a new name). Lollipop is a special case though since 5.0/5.0.2 is incredibly crappy, so do a factory reset so the system doesn't bring old bugs with it over to 5.1.1.
I had the same proximity sensor issues on my Sony Xperia z ultra too.I was so upset about it checked on xda forums, YouTube on how to sort this problem out all to no avail until recently I stumbled on the answer. Please cut a tiny piece of a black tape and cover the proximity sensor with it you will never experience the dark screen again when on a call.cheers

Dear community,
i am a happy owner of a sony xperia xa ultra. It is known for a good camera. The smartphone has double flashlight.
One of them is front and one back. When i go to camera, i can only activate one led light. When i activate front camera, i can only use front light. So this means, i cannot turn both lights on at the same time. But i think this would be useful. Also, ther is no app which allows activate other light than back light. Is there a method to use double flashlight. Especially, is there also a method activating both lights when filmin or fotographine with either front or
back camera. Please help me.
My smartphone is very new and it is not rooted. Android version is 6.0
Thanks in Advance for every help
