Every time I lay it down, the sensor turns on. Is there anyway to disable this? Has this happened to anyone else?

Infrared turns devices on. There is no sensor. Are you referring to proximity?
Uninstall Google Fit. That should fix your issue.

It isn't infrared, it is the heart rate sensor. Uninstall Google fit. It is a well known issue with Samsung devices

Has anyone else noticed the face detection sensor/proximity sensor is way too sensitive?
As soon as I try to enter the pin code for the voicemail, the screen turns off.
I figured out the problem...my fingers approaching the phones screen/keypad trigger the face detection/proximity sensor to turn the screen off.
Has anyone else noticed this issue and is there a suitable fix? Do all Galaxy S3's have this problem?
Using Verizon SGS3
* proximity sensor
figured out entering pin code from a bottom approach doesn't trigger the sensors but that's annoying to approach with your fingers carefully from the bottom

I have the same issue, and found the same "fix" when I tried to press the 1 during a phone call

Thanks for the clarification, but you know what I meant
Do all units have this issue or are some batches just overly sensitive?
i have the same issue... sooooo annoying
I too have found this a huge annoyance and would love a fix

I wonder if a software fix would fix the problem or if the hardware sensor is just too sensitive.
Hi
Few days ago i noticed that proximity sensor on my galaxy s2 doesn't work properly and screen during calls stays on. Today i found out that proximity sensor turned into red (but static..not blinking). I also use sensor test apps and sensor just turned on and it detect nothing. Does anyone have idea how to resolve this problem?
Thanx and sorry for my bad english

You can reflash your ROM or change it, maybe it is problematic or the flash didn't go well.
I already done that and problem is still same.

Did you try to take the battery out of the device for a few minutes?

I did too, but still the same. I do not know what else can be done, it is strange that lights, so I think that is not broken.
Every time I switch off and on my Gear, I has to calibrate the compass.
Can everybody confirm this behavior?
Many thanks.

yup, pretty annoying.
Yes, that seems to be the case. One has to wave the device around for a minute until it gets a fix on the magnetic flux.
Basically, out with my daughter at the beach today and dropped my phone in the only tiny shallow pool of water around!
It was in there for about a second at most, coz I grabbed it out SUPER fast, gave it a shake, blew all over it, wiped it down on my nice dry top I had on etc.
2 big nasty gashes in the screen, but luckily I had a screen protector on!
But, they were really nasty looking things and just couldn't pluck up the courage to take off the screen protector until I got home, as I was 100% convinced screen was gonna have at least a couple nasty scratched bits etc.
However, got home, took off protector...PHEW, screen was still in perfect condition, so was the bodywork/chassis as I had a case mate on it.
Everything seems fine with the phone, apart from to the left of where it says 'htc' the is a constant red light that stays on no mater what.
I think this is the proximity sensor?
Any ideas how I can get this light to go off and stay off??
Really guys, ANY help would be sooooo much appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
Yes, on the right of the htc bezel is the proximity sensor. Even if your daughter dropped the phone, I don't think this affected the sensor. Does it stay on even if you turn the phone off? If not then I am sure some app is using it.

On the LEFT side of the htc bezel there is a red light that stays on, but if I turn the phone off, then the light goes off.
It's only happened since I dropped it in water today.
Any ideas?

But it sounds really weird that a damage could cause it. Seriously. Please ensure there is no app running in the background which reads data from the proximity sensor. One time I was using some app, don't remember the name, never mind. It had an option to make use of the proximity sensor. Even if I turned it off, the proximity sensor was on all the time. Disabling the app/uninstalling it fixed my problem.

I know what you mean, the app is Called Viber and some users used to experience that using that app.
I've never used Viber and have checked all other apps. No result.
I downloaded Elixr 2 from the market and ran the Proximity Test.
Don't know What it means, but here is a screenshot of the result:

Any more really is super appreciated.
thanks.

Just wait until you make a phone call, then you're whole world is going to go upside down.... with my proximity sensor on my X+ I grabbed an app called Rezound Proximity sensor adjust the PS1_CANC (Low_Threshold) value. My X+ is set to 95
hope this helps you.

You need to finetune the rezound app...if not then you are S.O.L

When I make or receive calls, the screen acts perfectly as it should.
Goes dark when it's at my ear, the lights up when I pull it away from my ear, just the damn proximity light is on all the time draining my battery.
Anyway to turn it off?

nope, do you use the other sensors?
you can rename or nuke the following file, note that the rotation/prox/light sensors will be toasted after
adb shell
su
rm system/lib/hw/sensors.enrc2b.so
or to move it replace the rm to mv so do this mv system/lib/hw/sensors.enrc2b.so system/lib/hw/sensors.enrc2b.so.old

if it doesn't then you might have to disable it in the kernel, if you know how to do that. I would do that, but zero time sorry...
There is a root led app I know a bout
Hello. I have weird problem on my Lg V10 H901. On 2 to 3 days it happens for both screens to turn off, and you can't wake up the phone with double touch or with power button. And I'm sure that the phone is working because I can feel vibration feedback when I press and hold power button to go in to power menu. The cure is to pull off the battery and put back on and start the phone. For two or three times it happens to show white screen with little colored dots on it when you power on the phone. Otherwise the phone works normal. . No glitches, no heating, nothing. It just go off when it sits on desk and won't came back till you pull off the battery. I don't believe it's a screen because when it happens the both screens go off. Could it be the motherboard, processor or memory, or it's something wrong with proximity and light sensor? Any suggestions?
I had this problem as well until my proximity and light sensor completely stopped working. The sensor is not detected anymore but the issue stopped after.
I don't know about the cause but it could be because of proximity and light sensor.

Thanks for the reply. I am suspecting proximity and light sensor also. I am thinking to order a new one, it's like 9$.

By the way, I feel it is better without proximity and light sensor. Many problems were fixed after it was obsolete.

I am used to automatic light. Anyway I have ordered a sensor from eBay for 6,50$ so we will see.
