Hi all,
My proximity sensor is busted. The screen goes blank during calls and there is no way for me to cut the call without rebooting the phone. This happens on stock as well as non-stock ROMs. I tried hardware disabler, but the app crashes. Is there any other app to disable the proximity sensor?

i'm having problems with my proximity sensor. in the middle of a call, the screen lights up suddenly even when i got the phone pressed hard against my ear. is there an app that can fix this issue?
I would like to know this as well, my sensor seems to have a mind of it's own whilst I'm on the phone.
Hello guys,
My proximity / light sensor is not behaving correctly for past few days. Now whenever i dial a call, the proximity sensor turns the LCD off and it does not turn it on until the call ends somehow. It seems to be that the sensor is unable to sense the incoming light. Also the little red LED of the sensor stays on for very long, even after the call.
Also, the screen's brightness does not change when i move from low light to high light areas (and vice versa).
I have jokersax's CM9 build 0.6.1 installed with the built in kernel. (Which is probably the CM9 kernel too).
I suspect the proximity sensor is faulty. And also that this is a hardware problem. Now the question I'd like to ask is does anyone know what parts do i need to replace in order to get it back working. What would I tell the repair part vendors to send me ?
Also, do you agree that this is a hardware problem??
OR do you think, it is the ROM may be or the way I've installed it??

If you have face unlock enabled then disable it and try it again.

My gf broke her GSIII's screen but the touch and the lcd are OK, the problem is when she receives or make a call, the proximity doesnt work anymore because of the crack on the screen and everytime that the phone app starts the screen goes black and she cant use her phone until the other person hang up. Is there a way to deactivate the proximity sensor since it is useless now?
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?
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
