Hey, got the same and it is most frustrating thing. My sensor went down i checked with testing apps. Phone laying down on table and goes on and off every dozens seconda. Drain batyery faster than normal. Get rid off that. I realy want to sell this phone out.
Plus calling screen off and double tap isse makes the phone worst and worst.
Any help?
After few days the problem automatically solved, nothing done . Sometimes the double tap to wake will not work at that time a reboot will do . now its working flawlessly

Try this: Go to "About phone" and make sure that the advanced mode" is enabled, then go to the "Display and light" and enable "Prevent accidental wake up" . Hope it works.
Got it

It happens to me sometimes, screen turns on even when I force to make it off, just reboot and u are ready to go
I'm using a flip cover. the device doesnt wake up by opening the flipcover. Is there a possibility to test the sensor?

I have the same problem and it has nothing to with the flip cover, it's a software problem in the Cyanogen OS. Try to force restart you phone by pressing the power key for 10 seconds to use the device normally, then head to the settings and disable "Double tap to sleep" option in the Display settings.
thank you, but same problem...
I'm running cyanogenmod 12.1, not cyanogenOS!
Doesn't matter, I'm running Cyanogen OS 12.1 on my ZUK Z1 and my friend is running CM 12.1 on his OnePlus 1 and we both have the same problem

I've read that maybe a display cover (film) is the reason. That the film is up to the proximity sensor. But I can't image...
Are you using a display film?

Well, I'm using a sensor flip cover, but a screen film? What is that? Like a screen protector you mean?

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.
My phone is currently running everything stock , I am considering rooting my device !
one of the primary reason is to get the knock knock - double tap to wake and sleep the device .
the question is , is it possible to get it on the ZU after rooting .
Hopefully there are no issues rooting ZU on 4.3 , if any please mention
thank you

search is your friend
i havent seen any knock2 to wake that works on z ultra. care to point the link sir?
Ok, maybe I should have said search is my (or the collective forum) friend, as the question has been asked and answered several times that there is no knock/knock to wahe port for the XZU
We'll get the "double-tap-to-wake" feature in the 4.4 update according to the latest Sony 4.4 screenshots leak (xperiablog.net).

The idea came my mind when i read that the knock knock feature was ported to HTC ONE through flashing something , so I thought if this could be done for the XZu it would be awesome !
and since I am coming from the jailbreak family i couldn't do much research about the true capabilities of rooting !
It's not Knock Knock, BUT:
I use the Gravity Screen app. On stock settings, it will turn off your display when you cover the proximity sensor and you tilt the device a certain angle, like when you're putting it in your pocket.
It will wake it up again once the prox sensor detects that nothing's covering it, like when you take it out of a pocket, or flip open a wallet case. You can play with the different settings to make it work however you want.
In my case, I've set it up so that if my phone is lying on the table, I can just tap/hover a finger (or palm/entire hand) over the proximity sensor and the screen will activate. Just like Samsung's implementation, or indeed Knock Knock. In my case though, it just takes one...knock.
No more wear on the power button. For turning the screen off, I use the Screen Off app (double tap with Nova's gestures). Or if I'm putting the phone in my pocket, the screen turns off automatically once the top part goes down a certain angle.
Hope this helps.

So only when you hold the phone to your ear the proximity sensor doesn't work?
Yea pretty much, I dont know if there's anything in the settings that needs to be adjusted but it is so frustrating now, please help me over come it. Cheers
I do not have your model phone. I have a note 3. Open the phone as to dial a number amd hit the menu button. I have an option to disable the proximity sensor so the screen would stay on.

Hey! Thanks for the help! When on dial and press on the menu button I don't have any settings coming up, I am assuming you mean a long press, but I don't get anything coming up. Cheers
Are you using a case? If so remove it and see if it helps. Also I read dirt in the proximity sensor could cause the problem. So blow air into the sensor to clean.

enter in service menu and recalibrate the proximity sensor , if doesn't work , it's a hardware fault

Might be a little bit late, but maybe for others
worked pretty well on my Samsung S4.
download the app "proximity fix" from the playstore and run it.
Job done.
Hope that helps you or anyone who stumbles upon this!
Solved!

I have just registered with xda forum so I think my reply may be quite late, but it's never too late, so they say
Anyway, I had the same issue with Huawei P Smart that I've just bought a few hours ago. And I got it resolved with the app called "Smart Screen On Off (New)", by LuuTinh Developer. You will find it on google play.
As long as you test the proximity sensor physically and it works fine, this app should help you get your problem disappear altogether
Happy calls (with a turned-off screen obviously )
Hi to everybody,
Two months after to buy my Z2, I made the mistake to put my phone on my legs and it fell. Result: my screen has crashed
I sent it to repair and the technical support changed my screen,
All is now working fine, less the "double tap to wake" option.
I installed the last update to know if i could fixed it, but it still no working.
Any one know if is the double tap managed by hardware? (the screen maybe?)
Thank you so much!!
Ps: Sorry for my english
This feature has never really worked relatively well for me anyway
While sometimes it works other times I find myself tapping the screen repeatedly with no effect
Not sure about your issue as if the touch screen is working then I can't see any reason why the touch shouldn't work as well as it did previously unless it's a cheap replacement not an OEM

I sent my phone to official technical support in Portugal, so in theory the screen is OEM

Have you tried doing a factory reset? Maybe it will help. This function is kernel related so it should work, unless the screen is not like the original one. Just saying.

Well that means your screen should be okay. I tried tap waking my Z2 and it responded every single time, with really fast taps and slow taps, so something is definitely wrong with yours. Problem is I can`t tell what...
Well.. I hope that with Lollipop it will be solve..
Tip with this matter, you have to "knock" on the exactly the same spot both times. Then it works much better.
No way [emoji17]..
I tapped for 10 times consecutively but nothing...
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.
