My screen goes blank during calls and it only wakes up after the completion of the call. Can anyone please help me in disabling proximity sensor ?
If you have rooted your phone then use call screen fix which is a xposed module

When I'm in a call and put the phone to my ear the screen does not turn off instantly. Only after the screen timeout period has reached does the screen goes off. Is this normal?
Hello, and sorry for my english, i have the similar issue, when i put the phone on my ear the screen continue on, only in a few second appear lock the screen. I have another issue: the ambient senson, in darkness and sun light the automatic brightness doesn't change the bright of the screen, only when i enter to the brightness settings and change the bright automatic off and on go right, i believe that is problem of the firmware, my firmware version is the spanish vodafone version. Can i change to the generic firmware via Sonyericsson Update Service software??

I don't think the proximity sensor would switch off your screen instantly. It will ignore all touches to the screen so you wouldn't touch something by mistake. The screen will be off later. Can test it with your fingers on the sensor during a call.

I did that. If the sensor is blocked with my finger or ear the touch can't be used. But the screen turns off quite a bit later than that. I think it's the same screen off settings that you use normally when the phone is unlocked and you don't lock it.
I've notice that my sensor doesn't seem to work. Under the brightness option if I check the "Adjust automatically" the screen still does not adjust the brightness. Also noticed the screen goes dark a minute in on a call, when I move it from my head it does not go bright. Sometime I have to unlock screen if call is longer than a few minutes.
Yep normally proximity sensors (on Nokia, iPhones..etc) turn off the screen immediately when ur face is close. Some examples:

Yeah, that's true. But I know that mine works! It's just not turning off the screen. Don't really know if it's supposed to do that though. But I think so!
Just spoke to vodafone and they are sending me a replacement tomorrow.I doubt that will sort the problem. But its worth s try!

The Proximity sensor works fine. However it works differently from what you would expect:
-When making a phone call the sensor detects your big head and locks the screen (put your finger near the sensor to try it, you won't be able to push any buttons on the screen).
-It only locks the screen. The screen turns off after some time.
-When the screen is off during a call and you remove your head (or finger) from the sensor the display turns on again.
Works fine for me! Don't kill SE because they do it differently then other manufactures, it works just fine.
Well I wish I could disable the proximity sensor right now.
I am trying to make a call without my big head bloking the proximity sensor, as I need to dial a number get trough the switchboard. (right now its lying flat on my desk while I am dialing.. So no head at all, just roof)
and the screen is still locked so I cant press the number 1.
The strange thing it worked when I called SE support, but it doesnt work now.
But right now when I need it, it does not work.

That is indeed strange. I've just tested it several times:
Make a call> Let the screen turn off>remove from my big head>screen turns on >screen is unlocked and I can acces the 'dialer'.
Well as I wrote, sometimes I can do it sometimes I can't.
I will try to clean the proximity sensor (right side of the Sony Ericsson logo)
the next time it happens. Maybe its to over sensitive.
Right now it works to the same number I was trying earlier..

Is it right to assume that the auto brightness is controlled by the proximity sensor. When I change my screen brightness to auto. It goes dull and stays dull.

I think that's another sensor actually.
Hello, i am facing a problem with my galaxy s2's proximity sensor, it does not work while in a call it does not shut my screen off. In the *#0*# menu at sensor tab at proximity it says : null ADC:1(1,2,3) when nothing is in the sensors way, when i totaly cover the sensor with my finger it says ADC:255(255,255,255) but it does not turn the scrren green how it should do. Anyone have a clue about this ? Thanks
İf when you put your finger on the sensor the screen doesnt turn green and doesnt vibrate welcome the club anyway it is a hardware issue i have same problem and i m trying to replecament . if your phone under warranty do the same
i see, when i make a call it's staying on not blinking how is yours reacting ? does your sensor indicates something when you enter *#0*# menu ?

i did *#0*# test . you should press sensor menu and when you put your finger close to proximity sensor the screen has to turn green and phone must vibrate. my phone doesnt react this test and the values of proximity were null.

in the call settings there is and option to not use proximity sensor
phone icon > menu touch button > call settings >untick turn off screen during call
you can then turn the screen off and on using the power button as per normal use.

Well obviously the third party call screen is the problem
How did you calibrate your proximity sensor ? I have some trouble with it
Go into setting by using the Mi code number. There you will see options to test your phone one of it is the proximity sensor wave you're hand at the screen and you will see the word calibration and press it .
