I am having a problem with my sensor not re-activating the screen when I move away during a call, and when I push any button except to end the call, the phone just disregards it. Is there an app or something similar to reactivate the screen with a button push, or is there something I'm missing?
can anyone help?
eh fore the moment I'm preparing to get sleep, and navigate/search with my device isn't so easy.
but if it can help you take a look on the Q&A thread if my memory is good I thought I have see a thread with this situation/ solution.

Alright, thanks dude
Have you installed GPRS_1_Minute_Auto_Disconnect?
This app disabled the proximity sensor on my HD2

Hi !
I'm facing the same problem since I upgraded to ROM 3.14.406.2 (french ROM)
Everything was fine before this upgrade.
What I've found is that while calling, when you put your phone away from your face and that the screen is off, if you put a light near the sensor, the screen turns on again.
I think HTC messed up while configuring the proximity sensor values in this ROM...
kinda annoying indeed !

Just install CHT 2.0 (and CHTE and CHTS ). There you´ll find a lot of toggle switches. One of them is for activating/deactivating the proximity sensor and another one is for relighting the sensor. That helped my HD2
I’m having a serious issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100.
I was on stock 4.1.2 (rooted via Siyah kernel v6 b5) probably when the problem occurred. The problem is that whenever I make call, the proximity sensor light up and it make the screen black out even if I’m not holding the phone to my ear or so. It’s just lying on the bed. The screen doesn’t light up and I can’t hang up the call. I just can’t do anything till the other person hang up. Pressing home button and Power button just don’t work to make the screen go on.
P.S: The proximity sensor turns on when I first made a call after a reboot and it didn’t gooff till I restart even it stays on after the call.
I have tried formatting internal sd card and also wipe data/factory reset, clear dalvik cache, clear cache partition, flashed stock rom 4.1.2, flashed nexus 2.0 and even downgraded to official 2.3.5 but it didn’t worked out. I even tried to restore the EFS folder from my old backup but still it didn’t helped.
Here in the screenshot you can see the proximity sensor is active, on the home screen even no call is being made.
Please does anyone know what the issue is because it was working before?
Anyone?
I think you should replace the sensor....it's just 3-4 dollars,and it comes with the front camera and light sensor(AIO)

i9100 proximity sensor doesn't work
Hi to all!
I have the issue with proximity sensor and didn't manage to find a solution in other similar threads!
The matter is that it is always stay as Released.
In the same time in test screen (*#0*#) there are changing reading for PROXIMITY parameter from 2 up to 240 with no ADC parameter at all. Please look for screenshots. PROXIMITY parameter changes its value when I move my finger in front of the sensor, but as I can understand Android doesn't recognize it because of ADC absence.
Moreover I tried to change proximity sensor for working one (from another phone), but it shows the same as mine (with no ADC readings).
After all I think it is software problem, but I don't know how to solve it. I flashed different firmwares (now it is XWMSE NeatROM v.6.4), but nothing helped.
Please assist! Thanks!
Hey guys.
i'm having some issues with my proximity sensor..
its working fine but. somthing inside the device is blocking it.
i think its a mix between some dust and the fact that my screen is a bit loose and far from the sensor.. when i press with my finger on the top of the screen i move something and the sensor reacts.
i tried sevreal apps but nothing could just shut it off completly..
i also found a flashable zip that should shut it off but it didn't went well with my rom..
any other sugesstions will be great..
i'm now using the latest crDroid [cm10.2] for the s2 with the provided kernel:

It's quite easy to take apart the phone and clean the part, try that

Solution
Heres what I did after trying all the suggestions and still no avail.
Had to disable the proximity sensor altogether.
Root Required. Download Hardware Disabler from Google Play store. Once you installed the app, it scans your root directory. Select your proximity sensor hardware. IT WILL SHOW AS cm3663 IN THE LIST. Manufacturer capella. Tick the box next to cm3663. Reboot your phone.
Your good to go!! :good:

thank you very much! disabled it like you said!
no more black screen during a call :victory::good:
Cheers mate!! Have fun!!
So I'm using the CM11 4.4 Kitkat on my Galaxy S4 and recently found out that my proximity sensor isn't working (when I dial the screen goes black and won't turn on until the call is over). I've read many threads about fixing it but I think it's broken. So all I want now is to disable it but there isn't such option in the Cyanogenmod. Is there anyway to disable it, like with a terminal or something?

with root explorer go to system/lib/hw and go all the way to the bottom to the last sensors file. its an so file. long press on it and open in text editor. somewhere in the page almost at the bottom you will see where it says ProximitySensor then on one of those line it should say mEnabled. just rename it to mDisabled, then reboot and the proximity sensor is fixed.

I know this is an old thread but qman66 you are AWESOME! Was going nuts trying to fix the proximity sensor problem. Ran the commands in terminal emulator that recalibrates the sensor, didn't work for me. Blasted the speaker with compressed air, also didn't work for me. But this method allowed me to disable the proximity sensor while still using an AOSP rom. I will send the phone in for warranty eventually, but I thought I was going to have to use a touchwiz rom until then (touchwiz has the option of disabling the proximity sensor in the call menu).
And I read like 5 or 6 different threads dealing with the Galaxy S4 proximity sensor issue and no one else posted this method before.

glad someone found this useful.
While this fixed the call locking problem, it also disables a lot of other hardware sensors. The only one I'd care about is the gyroscope for rotating the camera and watching videos full screen. Any solutions?

Yeah I noticed that, the best solution is to get the proximity sensor fixed in the end. Then you don't have to disable anything. If your lucky it doesn't even need to be replaced, just cleaned. For me I can live with no rotation, because the screen off during calls is a ridiculous PITA by comparison. Also apps can force landscape mode even with the gyroscope not working. I use force landscape for videos through mx player, and mango reader for manga.
I finally broke down and took the phone apart. There were no warranty stickers to break so assuming you don't mess up royally, it shouldn't effect your resale value. All it took was an eye glass screw driver and a q-tip. Once I was inside I tried the can of air first, but didn't help. Swabbed the back of the glass with the q-tip and that finally provided lasting relief.

Changing the rom isn't going to do anything, even factory roms (I've tried it). If a replacement sensor doesn't fix it for you, then it's going to be hard to fix it yourself. All the posts I've seen so far have cleaned the sensor or replaced the sensor and fixed the problem. Otherwise people like me just turn the sensor off.
You were right, proximity software fix didn't help! But how is it possible to work in this (the same wrong) way with changed sensor? Can it be some main board hardware problem? But it doesn't look like this...

Thanks so much qman66 I have had problems with my proximity sensor on my JFLTEXX pretty much since I got it. Had been using the xposed disable proximity sensor module but xposed doesn't work with CM12. Your simple system tweak has given me use of my phone know call options again

Hi, I tied to do this but it says I can't save the changed so file... Can you let me know which root explorer and text editor you are using?
Thanks massively

Samsung S4 Active w LOS 15.1 (a&Droid 8.1) - how to disable HW sensor(s).
Hi All
Hope some here will help me stay afloat long enough to learn to surf by myself; bit of a noob in this wild ocean here (more of a 'fresh water/indoor pool' kinda dude I guess) - but trying to break out of tis little pond and learn to 'surf'. Anyway, to the point:
1. HW spec
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
GT - i9295
TWRP 3.3.0-0
Lineage 15.1 20180227 jactivelte
(sometimes with opengapps pico and addonsu15.1 but mostly just LOS and addonsu nothing else)
2. Have the sensors on phone covered up with black electrical tape - all but the notification light are covered and it's gonna stay that way - NOT negotiable!
Obvious Issue: Have the blank screen during phone call problem. Can end calls using power button but I need to use the keypad quite often so need the screen to stay on. How? Ideally want to (SW) disable most if not all hardware sensors - how?
Tried a few fixes but no luck, e.g.:
(a) adding 'the' fix/control many sensors apk no good as not suported under 8.1 (plus want to find out how to do manually myself not use 'hand outs').
(b) edit selected sensor etc ".so" (eg in system hw) files - so far not resulting in the disabled ProximitySensor.
So, I really want to hack this myself at cmd line level, am ok with that (many years IT ops/admin experience in 'fresh water commercial space'). Can mount system using TWRP then adb shell to connect and find and grep for stuff in files but cannot find setttings I need to change to disable sensors for good. Where to look/find more info?
What do I want to achive:
Make calls and have keypad stay on all the time or give me manual option to turn screen on/off with a hw button during call.
How:
I am happy to disable pretty much all sensors (proximity, gyro, compass etc) in system or firmware memory so that I am free from the overlords and really want to be able to use the keypad during calls - and have option to manually turn screen off/on during call would be cool.
Constraint:
Really want to do this from (a) cmd line or (b) edit code/recompile (learning curve) the LOS 15.1 or whatever to disable sensors for good. I will be using this old thing mostly for just call and txt not much else - and cannot be asked to buy an old Nokia handset.
Thanks,

You can disable the sensor using 'sensor disabler' xposed module
You can also try out 'proximity screen off lite' app on the play store however i am not sure about the app so I prefer you xposed module to use
