Hi, I noticed that since updating to CM10.1 (was on charmeleon) the proximity sensor distance is far too close. I would say about 3/4 of an inch to activate during a call. I used proximity sensor finder and verified this. I wanted to know if there were any way to increase the distance to the max 9cm? I already tried Decks proximity sensor fix by flashing the provided zip but it didn't do anything in terms of making the distance further.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ^_^

Hello everyone, din anyone else experienced problems with the light and the proximity sensor? On my SGS2, after few minutes of intense usage (usually after surfing on net via Wi-Fi, when phone gets hotter) the above sensors get stuck.
More precise, using a Sensor Tester, the light sensor shows either 0, either 16000, whilst the proximity sensor doesn't update values at all (stays at 0) when putting the hand near (or on it) and taking it away.
Again, anyone else experienced? Might be a faulty unit or is it a general behaviour?
Thanks!

I have the same problem but with the proximity sensor only
I sent it to warranty, next week I will see the resolution. Hopefully they'll replace it as faulty.
cheers.
Same Here
Sames Here, went back to warranty still waiting the answer
Ya me also facing the same proximity sensor issue from the last few days. the sensor is not working during a call. It started after I updated a game (diversion) and the facebook app from the android market. god knows what is the reason. Tried DHD proximity Recalibration yesterday. it says Kernel not found "- ps_kadc not found.
I will try to reinstall all the firmwares using kies today and see if the problem get solved. will let you guys know
Right after I replaced the rear camera in my phone it seems like the proximity sensor died as when I try to call the screen immediately turns off and locks until the call has ended.
Proximity sensor finder indicates that there is an object 3cm away but there is nothing actually there and the indicator is just stuck on 3cm.
What should I do?
I'm on cm9 btw.
Bump
Same issue
I have my stock camera and run CM9 AOKP, and I have similar issues with the proximity sensor. I read somewhere that it was an issue with CM in general and always discounted it as such. I did set up volume rocker wake and use that to wake the screen on call.
Do you use facelock? Try disabling it. Its a well known bug in CM9 that effecting proximity sensor...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Using the volume buttons doesn't wake the phone.
Note sure what facelock is.
Thanks for the answers.
my wifes proximity sensor started acting up along with many other problems. this all happened right after the last OTA update. I sent it in to moto for repair. I was suprized i didnt need a reciept. I bought it on cl used. went to motos site and they showed me how to check if warranty was still good
Phone was imported so no warranty is available.

Ok, I figured and putting the proximity sensor really close to a light source makes the screen wakes.
Also, using proximity sensor finder I did see that the proximity sensor responds when putting it really close to the light source.
It seems that while replacing the back camera, the rubber cover of the proximity sensor fell off. Is there any way I can replace it or improvise something that might suite?
Thanks.
My Oneplus X on OxygenOS 2.1.3-x (and earlier) had an issue with the display brightness in low light conditions (either too low or too high, sudden brightness changes).
Now I installed CM12.1 and it became a bit better (due to a more linear brightness slider, I think) but in the lowest light conditions I still experience sudden display brightness changes (I dont have a light source directly behind me in these cases).
I'm starting to think It's due to the light sensor / ambient light sensor on the phone. I tested it using the app Sensor Box for Android.
When in the darkest environments it switches between 0.0 lux, 9.0 lux and 13.0 lux. I compared to my old galaxy S3 and it's sensor can adjust to more different values (I believe any round number: 0, 1, 2 etc.).
This worries me because I'm doubting: is this because of hardware or software? (I didn't test the light sensor values when still on OxygenOS)
Since no one answered i'll do it. The light sensor is not as perfect as what you find in the galaxy S3. But it can be accounted for in the software. In OxygenOS2.2.1 the screen is less reactive to the sensor input in the lower region. Which mostly solves this. I have to say OOS2.1.2 was a bit of a beta release, but now thanks to Oneplus.

Hi! How is working on oos 2.2.1 the light sensor? The proximity is working fine on calls? Thanks!

Hello,
The lightsensor is working as described in the Original Post. But the software has increased in OOS 2.2.1 so the screen is reacting in a good (enough) manner on the light sensor input.
Edit: in low light it improved a lot, in high light it decreased a bit because it reacts slower to changes in ambient light, which you sometimes see when getting the phone out of your pocket.
Hi Everyone
Clarify me about something that is atrophying my mind. Does the proximity sensor exist on this equipment? What I want to say is this: when I am reading something on my cell phone, and when I'm not having any interaction with my cell phone (because I'm just reading), and how I have configured the settings to turn off the screen in 15 seconds. My question here is ... just because I'm in front of the mobile phone or just waving to the screen does not turn off (something I did in my Moto X 2014) why does it turn off? Should not it stay on because of the proximity sensor? I was using ROM Lineage 15.1 and I thought there was something wrong with this ROM in the proximity sensor, but I went back to the ROM stock and I noticed that I still have this problem. I was thinking that either this phone has no proximity sensor or it is simply broken. I bought this cell phone a week ago. Please help me solve this issue of the sensor.
Thank you
Regards :good:
Hi,
I have problem with the proximity sensor, that automatically start other calls.
How can i solve the problem?
tks
I don't know if it can be calibrated or there are some rom where it works better, what I do to mitigate the problem is turn off the screen after I answer/start a call.

Why are you convinced it's due to the proximity sensor?
The proximity sensor does nothing during a call other than turn off the screen when the speaker comes close to your ear.

Probably because screen stays on during a call and you do all sort of crazy things with your ears.
Calibrating proximity sensor from my experience does very little to help with this problem.
What @MrCrayon suggested is probably the best solution

So the problem is that it doesn't turn off the screen and touching your face to the display triggers what you don't want.
The proximity sensor of our phone has a very narrow detection area. The space is located in the area below the top speaker outputs (top left). The ear should preferably be attached at this point during a call. So not in the middle of the top edge of the phone as usual. It is definitely uncomfortable. In addition, the sensor is less responsive if the phone is not in a vertical position. The proximity sensor is probably the biggest weakness of this phone.
The best way to check its function is to use the AndroSensor app.
