This is my first touchscreen phone (came from Blackberry world), and I've discovered that I have a talent for hanging up on people with my face randomly during phone calls.
Have modded build.prop for these values:
#proximit sensor screen off delay
mot.proximity.delay=450
#proximit sensor disable touch distance
mot.proximity.distance=100
(Harmonia 1.7's default settings were 25 and 60, respectively. For the second one, do I want it higher or lower if I want the sensor to disable touch as much as possible?)
But really, I just want to be able to completely disable/re-enable the touchscreen with a hardware button during a phone call so I can mash it around my face without a care. Is there a (good) app for this?

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor. It does not always dial when I raise the phone to my ear to make a call. It seems to only work occasionally. Any help is appreciated

Sorry if you're more technically inclined than this response credits you to be, but have you tried getting a can of compressed air and a microfiber cloth to clean out the top of your phone? Around the area where the sensor is?
On every phone I've had and seen people have this problem with, this has always been the solution.
Also the act of dialing out the phone call is not tied to the proximity sensor at all. That's all telephony. Unless you're talking about some kind of motion gesture, then that shouldn't matter.
There's a samsung ?motion? under settings
motion settings allow for quick dialing a contact on the screen by holding phone up to ear when they are displayed some combination of accelerometer, prox sensor, and contact on screen is supposed to dial.
Mine is stock, has the option enabled, but doesn't seem to autodial as expected or at all I guess.
Oddly, under AndroSensor app from play store, prox shows 3.1" or 0 but nothing else (almost binary) ... screen does turn off right away when I make a normal call and hold up to my ear.
Odd.
My device (a Samsung Galaxy pocket Plus) has no proximity sensor and therefore doesn't turn off the screen when I am talking. So I am searching for a way to turn off the sceen at the beginning of each call to avoid random input on the touchscreen.
I found a lot of similar questions in the forum, but I found none that applies to my situation. In most cases people have a crashed proximity sensor and use the app "proximity screen off" as workaround, but that app doesn't work if there is no sensor present.
Is there an app that turns screen off in the moment I or the other side accepts a call without the presence of a sensor? If not: Would it be a big deal to create one?
I have a problem with my proximity sensor (probably dust?) and I can't clean it. Now, every time I get a call on all roms I tried the screen shuts off (that is normal) but won't turn on (ie. if I have to press keys while talking or activate speaker)
The only way I have for now is flashing a very bright light on the sensor and it only works sometimes....
So my question is : is there and app, a dialer, an option, a way or whatever other trick to have the screen turned on while in a call?

Supposed to be a free tmobile proximity sensor recalibrator here, but the page wouldn't load for me. Maybe it is available elsewhere.
Also, if your screen protector is covering it, maybe that is making a difference?
I couldn't find a way to disable the proximity sensor or change its sensitivity, however there might still be a way.
Good luck.
Hi,
The fingerprint animation while screen is locked appears every time except when the phone is vertically upside down or when the phones screen is fully covered from top to the level of power button(I guess some proximity sensor is used to make this happen).
But exactly where is this sensor??
I am not able to find an app which connects with the proximity sensor of our phone. Any app?
Just curious
Hi,
I bought my son Mi 11 Lite 5G, but he has problems. He is used to do a Viber call with his friends while playing games, but every time his finger goes over proximity sensor, the screen shuts off, it's really frustrating... Is there a way to disable proximity sensor while the call is in background, or while in game mode? Even a manual toggle would be ok if I could find a way to put a shortcut somewhere.
What are my options? I searched the Internet, but I couldn't find any practical solution... In the "Incoming call settings" there is no toggle to switch the sensor off (screenshot attached). The phone is fully updated.
Thank you!
That is a Viber parameter, check out in settings /calls and messages /use device proximity sensor ....in Viber.
Thank you, it works! I feel kind of stupid for not checking there :/
