Hello there, I have seen some topics , about the HTC aria proximity sensor not functioning after a digitizer replacement...... I have this problem ,
I see there are these ways of fixing the issue ....
hardware - something about the rubber gasket and black tape, could anyone show a picture explaining how to do the black tape and, rubber gasket thing ..?
software - basically involving disabling the proximity sensor .... I would like the easiest fix for this....
-custom dialer (can this be enabled on stock androiod ? do i need root (i hav eno porblem with rooting the phone)... which one is most recommended.... )
-sanity - would the free version do it ? how could i load the apk to the phone via USB ?
- custom ROMs - which custom ROm would be best to do this with this ?
How are you testing it? I'm not even aware of how I'd tell if it was working or not

Hello Guys
A question to those people who disassembled their LG P500
I Have recently replaced entire housing to a new one, including touchscreen digitizer(went from red body to white).
Everything went fine, however i did not aligned sensor rubber correctly and had to disassemble phone again. After correct alignment and final assembly, discovered that touchscreen does not work anymore...
Phone is working fine, but no touches registered.
Any ways to check correct contact between touchscreen and motheboard ?
tried several times, but no luck
any useful notes are welcomed
Thanks

Already tried to replace like 3 different touchscreen digitizers - no luck - so i'm sure it is not digitizer malfunction....
Take it to service

Bringing this thead up again because I am having the same issue, Proximity sensor set to near all the time... could it be badly placed? I was ever so careful to get it millimetrically perfect..
something must be causing the sensor to read an input all the time. Ever considered there could be some dust below the glass? Try and see what happens when you take the screen assembly away from the sensor. Another cause would be a deffective part (bad ribbon/flex components).
Thank good lord I managed to buy a genuine Sony flex ribbon
Hi out of the blue my Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i ambiance light sensor is either disable or broken ,
when i open service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* , ambiance light sensor just show value = 0, i shine lights over also won't change....
is it possible its disable or broken? please help, my phone is out of warranty, i was hoping for a DIY repairs on it, any guide or tips on which part should i replace,?
thanks in advance
Hey there. I'll just assume you're using a stock rom, and I'll asume it (your light sensor) is actually broken.
"Repairing" it wont be cheap, because it's part of the flex ribbon/cable assembly, which also holds the front camera, notification LED, proximity sensor, home button, display/touchscreen assembly connector and speaker pins. Pretty much everything is soldered to this component.
There *could* be a problem with your flex ribbon. Perhams some of its wires are starting to break? I know this can lead to all sorts of issues, because it started messing with my LED some months ago. But, on the other hand, it might just be a faulty sensor.
Whatever it might be, I say you leave it as it is. Replacing the flex is no joke on the XMP.

thanks for the reply.... im not on stock rom , its 4.04 zelly cream 6.0 AWESOME ROM!!! love it... but before i flash this, i already have issue with the sensor ...
hmm i saw a video on replacing the lcd screen, seems not that hard, just lots of steps... but problem is im not sure where to find the replacement part for the board as u mention, the lcd is common in ebay, etc...
thanks for the reply by the way. i willing to fix it myself as i love this phone alot!! i use it for work,papago gps map, calls, fb ,messaging thats all.. the keyboard and its compact body is my fav combination...
Ebay
Search on ebay for "flex cable sk17i".
Before disassembly please make sure that the cable you will receive has all the sensors and the camera. The first time I purchased such a cable, it came without proximity sensor... Unfortunately I cannot upload pictures or links, but google is your friend, right?
If I were you, I'd look for a flex ribbon with the "1241-7544" part number between the big gray square and the display port/slot. Genuine parts WILL have this number, cheap knock-offs don't (at least most of the time).

I'm guessing that you use a screen protector? If yes, that's the issue (if it covers the sensor). Also, always remember to WIPE (Factory reset) after updating to new bases, like 4.1->4.4->5.0->5.1 (i.e each release with a new name). Lollipop is a special case though since 5.0/5.0.2 is incredibly crappy, so do a factory reset so the system doesn't bring old bugs with it over to 5.1.1.
I had the same proximity sensor issues on my Sony Xperia z ultra too.I was so upset about it checked on xda forums, YouTube on how to sort this problem out all to no avail until recently I stumbled on the answer. Please cut a tiny piece of a black tape and cover the proximity sensor with it you will never experience the dark screen again when on a call.cheers

Hi all,
First post here! So I replaced the screen on my honor 10 lite the other day, as well as the charging/headphone jack pcb and battery - all working fine aside from now none of the sensors work. So accelerometer, gyro, screen brightness (auto option no longer there in phone brightness settings) and proximity are not working. I know underneath the main motherboard there's a 'sensor board' small pcb - does this handle the function of all the sensors? A new board looks inexpensive enough - i don't see how I could have possibly damaged the board but if replacing it will fix it that would be easy, just don't want to spend more money on repairing this phone if I don't need to.
Appreciate if anyone with any insight could help! Thanks!
