proximity sensor error or sumthing else ? - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Until an hour ago, everything was fine. I received a cell from my friend i couldn't hear anything, i thought it may be network error, so i disconnected the phone, he called back again , even then i couldn't hear anything (i found hat my screen didn't went off as i placed the cell near my ear). so i rebooted my cell. again i called him, i noticed that i could not hear from earpiece, so i turned on the speaker and i could hear him, and even if i turn off the speaker and place the cell near my ears, the screen wont turn black.
even i factory formatted my cell, still the problem persists
i checked via cpu z and z device, my proximity is working fine, shows 3cm when i keep my hand near it ,and 100cm when hand is away...
ps. i googled a lot, still didnt find the solution.
edit : if i press hard on the earpiece, the proximity works and i can hear frm earpiece , but only for a sec of so , again the screen lights up and i cant hear from earpiece.
edit2 : i just put back my cover (a kind of hard plastic back cover) and now its working fine, i donno what all happened with my cell, but its really embarrassing for me to create this thread, I am really sorry. I request mods to pardon me and del this thread.
edit3 : the problem is back, and i think its an serious issue
help is really needed.

proximity sensor has nothing to do with the 'hearing' part...... it just turns the screen off...
are you on stock?

[Q] Sensor issues?

Hello there,
Recently I had my digitizer replaced and since then, I am having very weird thing with the screen turning off as soon as I am making a phone call. I thought it was a light sensor but in winmo it seems to be working fine, makes the screen brighter or darker depending on light. I hope I was able to explain what the problem is.
What could it be?

Doesn't that basically mean your proximity sensor is working correctly?
The proximity sensor turns off the screen during a call when it senses something close to the sensor.

Have you checked your battery contacts (pins) when the battery is removed? If they are bent, they could lead to weird screen/phone shut-downs.
Did you replace the digitizer by yourself? Or did you have someone else (like a professional) replace it for you? Something might have happened to the electrical wiring, or there might be some small piece of dirt/object that got stuck in front of the proximity sensor.
Best wishes -- I hope you get this resolved.
Hi,
Digitizer had been fitted by technician, I said the same to him that its some sort of physical issue causing the screen to go off whilst making a call. Bathe suggested its a software problem. However, if somebody came across with this sort of issue please let me know how to fix it.

I've been having this issue myself for a while now, after first installing the latest norwegian rom straight from htc, and now using the energy rom. I haven't had any hardware in the phone replaced tho.

[Q] HTC HD2 Ambient light sensor/proximity sensor problem

Sorry if I'm creating a new thread for this topic but i have searched and i still cannot find an answer to my problem. When I'm in a dark room, sometimes even not too dark, if a place a call my phone screen will go off, like to sleep mode, and will never wake up again until either i go to a brighter place or I hook it up to the power (usb cable), has anyone experienced this? and please if someone knows what's going and how to solve this issue, thanks so much for your help!!
I have the same problem too ... but sometime it just light up again directly after I finish the call. I think it has something to do with the ROM itself coz a friend of mine has installed the Incredible S ROM and it works perfectly.
I'll try on my HD2 and let u know .....
oh.. by the way Im using Nuxes One ROM

It is also possible to be a faulty light sensor or even some dirt in front of it, right underneath touchscreen glass!
First of all, you should flash a stock ROM and see what happen: if it's not OK. then you have a hardware problem!
dirt between screen and sensor caused the same to me, I've cleaned it and now is ok

[Q] Weir noise when shaking galaxy S II anyone?

Hello! I just bought a Galaxy S2 and it comes with the famous pink spot on camera, so i've decided to return and ask for a new one.... after receiving the new one... this one has the pink spot too! but i found how to solve that issue...
So, after some days with phone i found that the screen looks yellow tinted on the left side...
And yesterday i found that when you shake your phone to the front hardly... it makes a weird noise a "thick" like something is loose inside of the phone on the camera area... I've tried removing battery sim card and sd card and shaking the phone again! there is that noise...
is that normal? can some1 try it shake ur phone...
idk what to do... if ask for a new one... or send it to care center...
plz advise
Did you ever think that that sound might come from volume and power button? Try holding the buttons and shake again. Those buttons are neither screwed nor glued so a little noise is normal.
Mine also nakes a little sound but if I hold the buttons it stops. I have no problem with it.

This is a very rare scenario as most of the people(including me) dont have this problem.
If your phone is under warranty just ask for rma pointing out the problem.
if not then fix it via service center.
Have you tried shaking your phone front/rear side hardly? it sounds like something is loose inside... anyway i think im gonna ask for a rma

I have tried it, nothing as such.
Also did you try opening the battery panel and clean it with some vaccum cleaner?
I can reproduce this on my phone, but it requires special kind of move (like hammering) so I think everything is ok.
It's possible that this loose part is vibration motor (or something else used for vibration - I don't know construction details of SGS2), so it's designed to be loose in some directions

I wouldn't call it "rattling". It's just single sound during sharp front to rear move. So for me it's simple . We haven't bought rattles but phones, so let your new purchase to demonstrate the potential by using it like a phone.
I think it makes a camera. When you move backward and forward moves the camera lens and it can rattle ..

Hi same strange sound here:
i found that if you enable the camera, the sound stops.
So:
camera disabled -> tick sound shaking the phone
camera enabled -> no tick sound
So, it's obivious that it's a camera related issue, almost in my case.
My camera works well, but have the issues:
pink spot
framerate loss during low light filming (using -2 gain to sensor solves this)

[Q] note 2 major problems

I have had my Verizon Note 2 for about a month now, and about 2 days ago i read that the processor has Vulnerabilities and mailware problems samusing is trying to fix but about a week ago i went to use my quick glance and my direct call and it wasnt working and when someone calls me i put it up to my ear the screen goes black as it should but then its stuck at the black screen i hit all the buttons cant get to the phone call if i wanted to put it on speaker or even just check a txt message i cant do anything until that person hangs up. The only way i am able to check my txt messages and stuff while on the phone is if i dont put it up to my ear.. so i restarted phone as we all would assume this would fix it well it didnt, so then i did a Factory reset thinking that would just put it back to complete stock and fix it well turns out that didnt work. My phone has never been rooted or anything and never will be. Im running Android 4.1.1 If anyone has any idea how i can fix this it would be gladly appreciated i love the motion features. Also i did the Gyroscope calibration and it didn't make any difference, my proximity sensor is on and glowing red just doesnt work like i said.
Thanks, Stephen

That exploit that you are referring to has nothing to do with your issue... And the proximity sensor does not light up as that is the LED notification light. I have this issue from time to time too and it's just that the sensor is not doing it's job properly but if you just simply hit the home button or power button real quick the screen will turn on. Other than that you may want to check some of your settings... Turn off your "motion" settings and see if that takes care of your issue then find out which one is causing the problem...
The quick glance used to work without any problems at all and i liked that, then all of a sudden one day it just decides not to work and it hasn't worked in a week now, i turned my motion off and when im in a phone call it still locked up at the phone screen i cant do anything until they hang up ive gone through the settings multiple times and nothing, i think imma go to verizon today and ***** about it

Ya something does not sound right... Do you have a screen protector on your Note 2 that is covering the sensors?

No screen protector or anything no case either, my girlfriend yanked the battery while it was on one day idk if that has anything to do with it or not cause after that happened seemed like it didn't work

actually the proximity sensor DOES light up, it's a very faint red light and it's the left one of the two little holes to the _right_ of the phone speaker, the notification LED is on the left of the phone speaker. This light turns on when in a phone call to indicate that the sensor has been activated.

Proximity sensor issues

I am rooted, and currently runny no-name ROM but rom doesnt seem to matter. My proximity senser is giving me issues. Testing it showed that if i cover it it will recognize it but then is stuck not sensing me removing it. I dont have any case or screen glass that is covering it. Anybody else having this issue?
Yes I have had this issue since day 1. Stock not rooted
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Have had the same issue since day one, 11/10/15. Not rooted. Aside from an ok battery life, this is the only problem I have with the LGV10.
i have this problem also.. its happening more and more when hanging up a call. I have to press the back button to get the screen back on.
