Sorry fat finger post to soon..
Ok purchased digitized and replaced it. Looked good everything went fine. Till I tried to make a call the screen just goes black and unresponsive. Have to remove battery to fix it. My brother called and it rang but when I answered it went black and I couldn't hear him but he said he heard me. Please help me with this issue.

Ok. Update it works if you use a wired headset. Maybe the speaker is not installed correctly. It was attached to the digitizer when I removed it so maybe it is installed wrong.

It is the speaker and the proximity sensor. There is a tiny rubber cover with a hole in it, which goes over the sensor next to the speaker. It needs this to function properly, otherwise the screen will go off on calls and not come back on.

Is it u shaped. Kinda goes around three sides of the speaker.

Is there a way I can make it work or buy that piece.

Ok new update if you push down on the digitizer in the top right corner it will work so it is the proximity sensor. On another note my digitizer is not flush with the case. This is prob due to the metal shield that I had to pry up to attach the digitizer. I will try and find some good two sided tape to pull the digitizer and lcd back down.

Hi tbone22, same problem as you, I have removed digitizer for 3 times, and finally, speaker works fine, but the screen goes blank on calls, and I must to press screen to came again.
If you have found a solution for this, pls explain it ( double sided tape, or something similar.
Regards.
Oh such fun. Been through this myself.
Here's my curiosity... Are we installing the new digitizers wrong, or is the replacement part different in such a way that it prevents the sensor from properly working?
Also, The sensor is quitesensitive, if you remove the digi and get the sensor in a position where it's unblocked, and load up Z-devicetest which will show you the sensor's state in real time, you'll see a finger within 1-2"of the sensor triggers it, even if it doesn't really block much light.
Seems like a relative measurement, which makes me wonder if some calibration needs to be done after replacing a digi to get the software to understand what the sensor is telling it.
Then there's also the curiosity of the sensor's durability -- is it a hit sufficient to take out the digi also likely to damage the sensor? I considered replacing the sensor itself, as it's a simple SMT component on it's own small little board (read: relatively easy to rework) but couldn't find a domestic source of the part (Capella CM3602)
There is a tiny rubber cover for the sensor with a hole in it. If it is missing the sensor doesn't work properly. I had this problem when I replaced the digitizer and realized I had not mounted the cover correctly. Now the sensor works flawlessly.

There is a way to disable the sensor it is in a thread titled proximity sensor something. As far as rubber boot I wish you could buy it I guess mine was thrown out with the old digitizer. If you use the disable function you will need a app like screen suite to lock your keys when you make a call.

Where did you purchase the digitizer? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but when you search for htc aria digitizer on bay they are charging $400-500. Also, what's the easiest way to replace the digitizer? Anyone have a link to a YouTube video? Can you just pull up the screen or do you have to take the whole thing apart? I saw one vid where the guy pulled the whole thing apart to change the LCD, but what about just the digitizer?
You could probably hack some sort of DIY replacement for the rubber boot. I believe all it does is block the sensor's peripheral vision, limiting its vision to straight through the circular windows on the glass.

Oh drat. Guess I lost that little piece. Maybe someday (like next time i smash the phone lol) I'll rig something up
TY for info!
Welp, woke up this morning to my phone screen turning of randomly as if it was against my head during a call. In order to make it come back, I had to press the lock button. Then I pressed home while still in call and locked the screen, pressed the unlock button to get to the lock screen and every time I touched the ring to unlock the phone, the screen turned off again. This forced me to yank the battery to get the phone back.
Same thing happened after another call, so had to reset again.
Downloaded AndroSens and under the proximity sensor tab, it says sensor_Status_unreliable and the number/bar stay at 0 regardless of whether my hand is over the sensor or not.
Is the proximity sensor in my rezound toast?
Some people have reported dust making it go wonky.
Do you have a screen protector covering the sensor on the front... I have had this issue. Just cut the protector around the sensor if that's the issue

Unfortunately, no dust on the top of the screen and I don't see any under it. I'm familiar with pulling the phone apart, but don't really have the desire to do that just to check for dust haha.

I do have a protector, but it already came with notches around the sensor and FF camera.
I have the same probably but mine is from the digitizer "floating" up because the glue is weak underneath. If i push on the screen by the proximity sensor to push the digitizer down again the sensor works again. Haven't been able to fix. Maybe your digitizer is loose also.

Yeah mine is loose but only on the left side so my screen is tilted although it hasn't affected anything else it's still very annoying

I've sent two rezounds back for the same problem. Call Verizon, they should replace it for you.

You can try blowing out the speaker grille at the top of the phone with condensed air. Might clear any dust. Otherwise, call verizon.
I would rather not have to return to verizon and get a refurb if i can help it. I got the phone in November when it first released, so I'll definitely be getting a refurb. Oddly enough, androsens had it working just fine last night before bed. Put my finger over it, sensor went to 9/9, removed finger and went to 0/9. Repeatable for 10 minutes.
Then this morning it isn't working again. I can see the faint red light inside the housing for the prox sensor is lit. I might try blowing it out and disassembling/reassembling to see if I can fix anything.
Thanks all.
I had a bunch of requests for Wave Control to have this functionality. I thought it best to do a dedicated app so here it is!
Flip Case Control was designed to work with Samsung's Flip Case on the I9300 while using as little battery as possible. (I left it running all night ~8.5 hours and the battery dipped 1% more than usual)
IMPORTANT: If your case is black or dark on the inside, the sensor doesn't read correctly when the case is closed. To fix this, put a piece of light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor (located next to the front camera)
Note: A Samsung based ROM is required. CM won't work well.
Here's a demo video:
Play Store Links:
24 Hour Trial Version
Full Version
Could you guys with the Flip Case test it out?
All feedback is appreciated greatly!
I would like to try it for you but unfortunately i don't have flipping cover for this lovely device as it is not here yet everyday im searching everywhere but nothing
Waiting OP to give us their opinion about this app

Is there something special about Samsung's Flip Case? I have a generic flip case but can't get this to work. Running rooted Deodexed LJ1.

There shouldn't be but it is conceivable that if the case surface facing the proximity sensor is black and absorbs too much of the IR from the LED on the prox sensor then it wouldn't register a near reading.
The proximity sensor is an IR LED and light sensor. It detects distance by the amount of IR light that get reflected back off the surface in front of the sensor.
If this is the case, you could try to put a piece a light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor.
Let me know if this works. What's brand of your case?

I bought the full version ystd. Yes it does work sith my rock flip case but i had uninstalled ot as it does turn off my screen for no obvious reason when im using it.
Hopefully you can come up with a fix for it soon

It's a cheapo from ebay until I can find a decent one...

But you're right - the sensor doesn't like black. If I use a piece of lighter coloured tape on the inside of the cover it works! The only issue I have now is that the app is not auto loading at boot.

I'm working on an update right now to help reduce the unintentional triggers. I need to test it a little bit more but it should be out soon.

Are you running the full version? I limited that function to that version. Great to hear the tape fix worked
According to me proximity autolock works well and it is available on play store
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It works OK at the moment, I think the sensitivity should be decreased though as something passing an inch or two above the proximity sensor will still turn off the screen. Seeing as flip covers get up close and personal with the proximity sensor this seems a bit too sensitive.
EDIT: Definitely too sensitive, seems to turn off at random at times. Just had a phase where it wouldn't let me keep the screen on.
Maybe a failsafe of sorts could be implemented? Leave the screen on until timeout/power button press if turned on by the power button?
Edit 2: I uninstalled the app to stop it turning the screen off constantly, but it continued even after a reboot, I went into the display settings and saw the screen timeout had been changed to "()"and this was causing the issue, as soon as I changed it back to 30 seconds it was fine. Is this supposed to happen?

Ah.. crap. I thought I fixed that bug before I released it. I guess there's still a way for that to happen.
I'm working on an update to help filter out false triggers and will patch that bug. It shouldn't happen. Sorry.

Proximity Autolock is a nice app with some excellent features but uses too much battery on The Note 1, an additional 8% overnight. And it doesn't work well on my Note 2.
The app works well. I bought it
It's a very useful feature that Samsung should have built in, but hey, I don't mind supporting you.

I agree Samsung should have made this app. When I first showed it to a friend, he said "Isn't it already supposed to do that?"
A Beta
Here's what I'm playing with right now.
It should hopefully fix the bug D3_ ran into as well as reduce the false triggers. There will still be some due to sensor placement but this should make it much less sensitive. Also response time to turn on the screen should be a little bit faster. It's working well on my I9300, hopefully it should be the same on the Note II.
Let me know if this is performing better for you guys.
Still coming:
Disable in Landscape Mode
Disable when plugged in
[Edit: Removed Old Beta]
Just installed the beta, will report back after some use of it.
V1.05
Just uploaded version 1.05 to the Play Store
Changes:
Reduced false triggers for screen off
Changed button UI
Added notice about dark cases
Updated icon
Sped up screen on response a little bit
Cant you just do this using Tasker? I already spent money on the flip cover, so kinda hesitant to spend more for this functionality (which should be there in the first place!)
Samsung Vibrant on Slim Bean 3.1.0
Sometimes when I wake the phone, the touchscreen will seem to register a "phantom touch" that grabs the circular unlock slider so that I can only unlock it by quickly jerking the circle to the right.
This issue is temporarily fixed by turning the screen off and on again, or unlocking it like I mentioned above -- it has no effect after the phone is unlocked.
Any help would be welcome.

My vibrator does weird crap like this too if I have in the bathroom when I take a shower. I figure its the moisture in the air. Either that or I have a ghost that likes to watch me shower and F with me!

I just updated to SR Remix KitKat and I noticed that my proximity sensor isn't working now. I can't say for sure that it was the update which caused the problem because a week before this I had the screen glass replaced. Now I know this can be a problem when the screen glass is replaced but I wanted to verify that it wasn't caused by the update before I take the phone apart and try to fix it. I'm posting here to see if anyone else has had this problem with this update or ROM. I tried the hidden menu *#0*# and it wasn't functioning. I also checked with CPU-Z and there was no activity at all from the sensor.

I also updated my I605 to SR Remix KitKat last night, and can confirm that my prox sensor is working fine (just made a few calls to be sure ).
Looks like you may need to do some tinkering with that glass panel..
Well I found that it was in fact a shoddy glass replacement. Too bad I already gave the eBay guy positive feedback.
What I found when I removed the proximity sensor was that the back side if the glass windows for the front facing camera, proximity sensor and ambient sensor all had glue residue covering them. It took a little bit of rubbing with a Q-tip and Goof-Off to get it clean enough to work. I'm sure glad I paid someone to do the job right so that wouldn't happen *sarcasm* I'll just do the job myself next time.
