Today when I dialed someone, the screen switched off, like when we bring it to our face, cover the sensor, tapping didnt do anything, only pressing power did bring back the screen, after that all was normal, except it wouldnt switch off the screen when the sensor was covered again
Did another call, the same, rebooted the phone but still the same. I use Dialer+, but tested with standard Phone app and the same happened, any suggestions
Yesterday all worked fine, the only apps updated yesterday where: Google, Calendar, MoboPlayer and Shazam

Same happened calling with Whatsapp...
No one
The proximity sensor seems to work fine otherwise
I've had the same issue on seemingly random occasions. Lots of people suggested checking the proximity sensor data using AIDA64 but it all checked out fine.
Only thing that worked for me was to recalibrate the motion sensor under display settings. Hope that works for you!

I had the same issue on Lollipop, I upgraded to marshmallow and it still exists. It happens at random times, sometimes the proximity sensor works fine but sometimes it kind of freezes and the screen remains off even after a phone call, I have to touch it a bit to make it respond.
Any permanent way of fixing this? Any solution would be very helpful.

Mine never had the problem other than that one day before I upgraded to MM, I have the phone since January. Did you try re-calibrating the sensor like Gator said
Same happened with MM, recalibrated the motion sensor under display settings, and it is working again...

Ok so I noticed last night when I was on skype that once my call finished I was in a strange menu and that got me thinking about my proximity sensor.
Went into the system menu, tested the proximity sensor and yep, it's ****ed.
When I place my finger over the sensor, it's off, when I remove my finger, it's on.
Anyone have this problem or know a way to fix it without getting a phone replacement??
Ta!
ok so i went to a shop and had a play with a mini. worked as it should. went to an x10 with 2.1 and it has the same problem that i have... wtf?
odd. so i called myself at home and everything was working as it should. even though it didnt work with skype last night and it didnt work when i tried it with a friend at work...
hmmm
I noticed my proximity sensor randomly stopped working properly without making any changes to my phone recently. I'm rooted but don't have the latest OTA updates because I didn't want to lose root. The screen will either shut off and not turn back on when I put the phone up to my ear, or it will just shut off on its own without me covering the sensor. I'm in the process of searching the forums now, but they all seem to be older threads. I thought maybe there was a newer solution somewhere.
And I keep reading about this *#7353# that you can dial for diagnostic stuff, but on my phone it does nothing. I dial it in and nothing happens.
It works fine for the QuickGlance feature every time. I downloaded an app and it apparently detects the sensor being covered, but then doesn't detect that it's uncovered again.
Never mind, I read some people recommended blowing out the earpiece, so I hit it with my RocketBlower and now the sensor works fine.
when I use the original oxygenos, I always happens (in each call) that there are unintentional touches the screen that usually make me turn the microphone off or pause the call, all this makes it impossible to make a phone call.
I tried doing upgrades, downgrades, cache cleaning, reset but nothing!
The only way to solve it is to use the CyanogenMod 13 where the bug does not occur but.
can someone help me with this problem ??? I like the stock rom and I would use it without problems
Lock the phone after acepting or making a call, maybe? Ive never had such issues with OOS.

Yes! the only way is to turn off the phone with the power button after starting the conversation, it is still very frustrating!
If I type a number and make e call the display will immediately go off when I put the phone near the ear. If I just keep it in the hand it will not go off. I guess this is what happen by default. Maybe it has to do with some kind of sensor you turn off on your settings in OOS?

I think the screen is responsive to the touch in some cases despite the proximity sensor turns off the screen, it's a pretty serious problem, those of OnePlus are willing to fix it, but they will leave at least 30 days.
I do not understand if it is a sofware or hardware problem because with the various tests I did the sersore proximity seems to work fine, but I can not make a phone call without any problems
Hi, I would know if you have this issue too.
My fingerprint sensor works well, no problem about the speed or recognition.
But, often, it just wont work, I mean there is the vibration but it wont unlock the phone, at the bottom there is: can not use the fingerprint (I don't know in english it's in french).
I have to unlock with my code or layout. I lock again and now it works!
It works for a moment, and maybe one hour later it doesn't work again I have to unlock manually to make it work again.
Try removing and re-adding your fingerprint, make sure you scan all parts of your finger.
It is not recognising your finger as often as it should.
I have a same problem. If I turn off/restart my phone the fingerprint stop working. I must re-adding or again restart the phone to start work again. But if working, he work good until next restart. Sometimes after turn off/restart he continues to work. I think it has its own opinion when to work and when not
When I say there is an issue, it's not about the recognition.
When it doesn't, the screen don't turn on and double vibration, it's ok.
But sometimes, the screen turn on, and just say that is not possible to use fingerprint (with one vibration)
I just deleted and set again my fingerprint, and the problem is still here.
So it recognize my fingerprint (screen on and one vibration) but doesn't want to unlock, just say it's not possible to use fingerprint..
This happens to me only first time after reboot.
I think that's a security, and a will from LG. So it's not a bug, it's a feature

yes I think that happen when the state change, like wifi, BT or other.
But it's annoying when it happens 20 times per day.
I hope I'll be able to change that with root..

As others have said. I think it's a security feature that makes you use the lock code after a reboot. My G5 does the same things as well as my iPhone 5S.
As for the fingerprint scanner misfiring. I noticed that while I'm using the always on display. When I first take the phone out of my pocket. It takes a second for the always on display to pop up. It seems like the fingerprint won't read my print until that display pops on.
You're issue sounds a little different. I'd just figure I'd mention some of my findings.
I just want to remember that my issue is not about a reset. But all day long.
So at this moment I'm the only one who have this issue.
(I also have the 10c update and issue still here)
Thanks for your replys anyway.
I get it about 2 or 3 times a week & like you, not after a reboot. It works again after pin entry.
Strange but infrequent enough not to bother me.

i have m2001j2g on MIUI 13.0.7 version stock rom, no root. Since i bought the phone 2 years ago i have been having problems with calls. When i put the phone on my ear, the screen goes off as expected but after a while it opens again and my face touches the screen. mostly closing my microphone, and doing other stuff as my face keep touching the unlocked screen. i tried locking my screen before a phone call and tried proximity sensor reset APK. none of them worked. i really like the specs but this problem annoys me. is there any solution?

If it's not hardware problem
You can try calibration/re calibration
Goto my device>all specs>click on kernel version multiple times, it will open CIT menu
And find your desired option.
Just install "Call Proximity Sensor Fix" from playstore.
none of the recommendations worked. only proximity sensor fix app's proximity overrider works but it creates a constant notification. i use blockada for adblocking, it also has a constant notification. they keep changing places, it is annoying
edit: ok, i just unclicked show notifications for both app's, locked them on running applications, remove all restrictions: they are both working now without any notification. call proximity sensor fix it's overrider works dine, thanks all
