It doesn't sound that great to me. If a reflash didn't work, why don't you try an different rom. Just to rule out a rom error.

I have the same problem as mlovesu...I have done a complete wipe everytime i flashed a new ROM..also tried different kernels(siyah 3.2.2 tried latest)...
now have gone back to stock firmware XXLPH and rooted again..the dialer works for now but the proximity sensor still doesnt along with the screen brightness sensor..
any help pls guys...have been doin everything possible for a week now...i dont think its a hardware error as the proximity sensor does light up(the infrared light) but not on calls...have tried the samsung tests for sensor..but that seems to not show any change in values if u move ur hand closer..
thanks

what light?
don`t you mean...screen off?!
if that`s the case you may have some problem with your phone. i`ve been using custom roms since 1st day and never had any issue regarding that (if THAT is the case)
screen off. I tried to restore via Sony Ericsson PC Companion, but still did not fix the error. only thing when I use the build number old 2.0.2.A.0.24. all errors are gone.

[U] Stock ROM bug or something else?...

I have a problem in my U.
Everytime someone calls me, first the led lights up, then it vibrates about 2-3 times in the middle starts ringing and only after all that the screen turns on so i can answer or reject the call.
After i answer a call sometimes it takes 3-5 sec to hear sound from the other phone, but the caller says he can hear me the whole time.
When receiving SMS, first the led lights up, then after a while it vibrates and after that it rings, but sometimes it doesn't ring.
Another thing, it lags to much to open the contacts, phone and messages app.
My wifes Tipo dual, opens almost instantly the phone app after i touch it.
I'm using The ROM, etc that are stated in my signature.
Please help!! Already tried different kernels, etc. :crying:
It can be something in the mods or it can be the rom itself.
Didi you get these bugs before the mods?
The stock rom sucks, mine did this as well, made the phone unusable.

Already had the excessive lag opening the apps with a fresh stock ROM. Honestly i put and did so many things that i don't know now.
But i installed the Sliding XU 3.3 kernel and it's working almost fine now, only has the original lags opening the apps of the stock ROM.

[Q] i717 all 4.4 calls not working

Hello!
I have problem with 4.4.4 roms. Phone works normally, then suddenly normal calls do not work. I can answer and decline the call but no audio comes trough and also the receiving end can not hear me.
After reboot everything works again, then passes hour maybe two and then dead again.
Works ok, with stock rom.
Any recommendations, how to fix this problem?
(also offtopic problem, screen does not always turn on when pressing the lock button, i have to smash couple of times. I found that you had to turn up the lowest cpu clock speed - did that- did not help)

On your wake lock issue, its the governor you need to adjust. I think its ondemand, but try your options. Your phone issue.....first many may ask is, did you flash clean?
You can always try flashing ROM twice. Because you can get 2 different reactions to 2 separate flashes, I always flash ROM twice, then gapps and so forth.

Yes, I always do a clean flash. I will try to flash it twice, lets see what happens.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Sounds like a hardware problem if flashing stock and factory resetting doesn't solve it.
My power button had a problem that causes the phone to reboot infinitelly sometimes, it gets stuck inside even if I can still press it.
Well, pressing it a couple times normally works for me. But to be sure I stopped using it, double tap status bar to screen off and home button to screen on.
It's really bad when it stucks...
No its not a sort of that problem coz I already checked that, but now I think I am able to get this problem solved but now no sim card is working its keeps displaying Emergency calls only..

Have you checked if your IMEI and serial number are intact?

Go to about phone, status and check they match what is on the box or under the battery on the sticker.
Yes just checked its same. Now the set is again restarting but the time increased even if I switched off the phone it will turned on itself, is it like a hardware problem? I tried different versions of firmwares. Also few days back mother boards EMMC chip get repaired , is this belongs to that issue?
It can be a hardware problem
One more thing I noticed. I switched off the phone after few time it automatically switched on
Your power button is faulty.
hi, i have the same pb? i checked the power button is ok, i try a lot of rom (official & custom) no solution?
Nand memory is damaged, go read the the emmc freezing thread.
Is this hardware issue?

Proximity Sensor Issue in Miui and CM roms !!!

Hi All
Any one facing proximity issues here , i saw so many peoples reported in mi forums that when we make a call screen blacks out when we moved to ears( Thats normal) and won't turn back again , so i have to wait the other side person to hangup the call or screen won't turn on power button does work that time, i think this only affects with Sensortek stk3x1x sensor, Redmi note 3 pro comes with two proximity sensors one is from Liteon and other is Sensortek.... Liteon sensors doesn't have this issue, for temporary fix "Wipe proximity area with a cloth or reboot fixes this and it comes back after sometime....( Calibrated but same it works for sometime) no idea wats causing this , issues there in Miui and CM roms....
I found sometimes a flip case with a magnet can cause issues like this when folded right back against the back of the phone, the screen won't come back on because it thinks the flip case is closed.

yeah but i don't have flipcase, this sensor issues starts with those have "Sensortek Proximity Sensor" Liteon doesn't have issue i think....
Flash the rom again using mi flash tool u will find that yr issue will be solved
Or go to test mode amd calibrate the sensor... that's all
Fastboot flash persist persist.img from latest miui rom? I recently had a problem with sensors. The above cured all
@Hemphiz i think that method for dead sensors bro, this one working sometimes it doesn't mostly if we flash a new rom and use no issues but if we reboot the phone after sometime issue starts.... @ra.one i did that bro flashmiui and recalibrate sensor but that works for temporary please check which sensors you got from this app from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox
if you got Liteon Sensors mostly no issues with proximity, if u got Sensortek u will be having issues or once u got issue it will come back..... im not sure why is causing that..... this is really very annoying bug.... Thousands of people reported in Mi forums about these proximity issues on various devices even on newly launched Redmi 3s/ prime may be they have all got "Sensortek Proximity Sensors".......
This is not a bug, You can disable Prevent Pocket dials under Settings-->Lock screen-->Prevent pocket dials...
I had this since last miui 6.9.9 flash.
Disabled prevent Pocket dials and All is working fine
Edit: for a few hours it was working.
Now its the same again. Phone blacked Out After a call and wont turn on, After a few seconds its coming back. As i said , since flashing new 6.9.9

like i said it may be mostly an issue with Sensortek proximity, can u check which sensors u got from this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...droidsensorbox
I have sensortec.
But i think its Software related.
Its since last Update.
I calibrate the Sensor and the issue with calls is still there.
Sensor Works fine, test is okay.

Yes i think its software related but, one trick works clean flash the same rom and use it for a week without any reboot...... (DO CLEAN FLASH and Dont reboot the phone)
don't need to calibrate.... for me when i install new rom and use it for a week no issues , if i reboot the phone the issue starts after sometimes.... i don't knw wats causing it so many peoples with sensortek having issues and this bug is not resolved from Miui 7 to Now Miui 8 MM, the issue there in Custom roms im using RR rom i have issues....
Guys For those having issues Check which sensor you got from this app, if u have proximity issues while calling its mostly "Sensortek"

We need Permanent fix....
I also have exact same issue and i have sensortek sensor. But i can unlock the screen while on a call by pressing power button and then unlocking with fingerprint. Bit annoying

So its confirmed its an issue with Sensortek Sensor, no Liteon users reported here, like i told flash the same rom which you are in (clean flash) and don't reboot phone for a week there will be no issues it works perfectly, if u reboot a phone once the issue starts again after sometime so after reboot something is going on no idea what....
i am using this app(for rooted users) on official RR and it works fine

even me used, but i don't think its properly working..... this issue starts only after a reboot, when u flash new roms and after boot dont reboot or power off the phone for a week, not needed any apps, proximity will work properly but once u rebooted issue starts....
But this app's settings load every time phone boots up.so it will work after every boot.
press thanks if I helped u in any way

yes this app i tested earlier, but after sometimes may be in a day or two it won't work....
Found another related issue with proximity , i think proximity is not working properly when there is not enough light around us something related with ambient light sensor i think ..... Eg: if we are in a dark room proximity won't work correctly turn on the light and try it works properly.... i think Xiaomi messed up with something with both sensors Liteon and Sensortek thats why Liteon users face Gyroscope lag in games in dark room and now i think may be the same reason why proximity not working properly in dark room....
hello. I have the BUG but my phone has sensortek version 1 (not 2)
When in a call the screen wont turn off when placing the phone at my ears. With whatsapp the bug wont happend.
I think this is a BUG related to sensor + phone app
A functional workarround is to dial, then press menu (putting the call at background) and then putting the call at foreground again. It works 100% of the time.
Any news? I have this annoying problem too!
