[Q] proximty sensor always on? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Proximity sensor not working

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)

[Q] Touchscreen Problem

I have a problem with a touchscreen. This can be seen that in the lower left corner of the screen, the phone detects a second touch. I put a screen shot of the presentation of how it looks in the test. This occurs on every rom 2.3 +, excluding Glsmt 2.1. When I plug the charger problem disappears. Whoever knows how to fix it?

but the problem exists in Cyano Ace Port from BehradGH and currently there is no possibility to install fix

Hi
someone fix this bug?
My motorola atrix is a problem with the touch after I managed to release "root", you have to play lower down the keys to be hit from above, in addition to the menu buttons do not work, but half of it straight up works best, does anyone have any solution?
Perhaps a better bios reset, or a full format! hardware will be? or software?
Somebody help!

i think u got better chance if u ask in ur device specific forum
This problem is fixed in KPY, i have this one "GT-S5830_XEU_S5830XWKPY-S5830XEUKP1-S5830XWKPA-S5830XWKPY4" and problem is gone.
I have the same problem..
My phone registers random touches in the lower right area, approximately above the middle of the home and back button. I have Indian firmware S5830DDKQ5, and the problem started just after I upgraded to it by official Kies update. Before this, in Froyo, this never happened. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem in my phone or the screen protector was causing it, or maybe something broke due to some fall to the ground, but you have the same problem, originating from 2.3+ roms, so perhaps not. I have not tried any rom except the stock one.
icemanhi, you say it is fixed in XE/XW KPY but KPY would come before KQ5, wouldn't it? I'd like to not go to an older firmware, because we don't know what the changes between them are.

Even when the phone is kept undisturbed on a flat surface untouched it still happens...
icemanhi, you say it is fixed in XE/XW KPY but KPY would come before KQ5 and I don't want to put something other than the stock official firmware. I cannot just keep changing roms either, I don't have time for that..
Please if anyone has a fix then share it.

take your phone to samsung service center and tell them about this problem
But...
I can't make the problem show up on demand.. the people at the service center will say, show me what happens, but it's random, so I can't show it to them. Then they'll say, "the problem is not happening in front of us, so we can't do anything." Still, I'll ask, but would prefer a different solution. Thanks.

we need more info.
What android version are you on?
Have you rooted/unlocked your bootloader?
What ROM are you using?
What kernel are you using?
What other modifications have you done?
What was the last thing you did before this problem occured?
well my bad because of short explaination
i am running android 4.0.4, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with AOSP rom. the last thing i'd remember was flashing the rom. i think maybe because i have dropped my phone on the floor, so the hardware become malfunction. just my assumption.

You dropped the phone, and now its not working....its not too hard to figure out what happened.
The screen is broke and no amount of flashing will bring it back.
Its time to put your hand in your pocket and pay to get it fixed. If you can afford to take it back to the shop then try ebay to get a screen and fit it yourself.
well thats great. thanks for helping me throughout this thing. will try to solve this problem ASAP.

Ok, Im going to assume you have tried other kernels/roms wipe data/factory reset and have same problem.
In this case there is no magic words to repair hardware. You need to send it away to get fixed/replaced,simple as that.

[Q] Galaxy s3 screen stuck on black screen when idle

Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important

You flashed an international i9300 Rom on to your AT&T 9300, they are different phones, and you are in the wrong forum
