Hello everybody .
I'm having a problem with the proximity sensor on my z2. Every time I make a call, the screen is off, but it can't be turned back on until the call ends.
I tried to flash rom 4.4.4 (.575), on items proximity sensor calibration, but failed (error code -98). I really love my phone, and want to find some way to fix it.
Please help me if you know something. . Thanks

i9100g SG2 - i have seen posts all over so i know that this bug is not limited to my device.
with ICS firmware.
Tested on multiple [JB and ICS] CM9 & AOKP based roms.
[Problem]
I like CM9 and AOKP based roms over stock roms and roms derived from stock ones. I faced troubles when I used my phone for calling.
The screen goes completely blank both on inbound and outbound calls. This happens in more than 90% calls. There is no way to get screen back. You can set the phone to end call with power button otherwise you can not even end the call.
[Solution]
Last month (july 2012), after hitting my head against my phone for several hours i gave up hope and switched back to stock rom (only to be disappointed with slow & bulky stock rom)
Finally yesterday (21st Aug, 2012), I again decided to fight it out and find the problem.
While testing i found some abnormal call behavior, most of the times screen went black but some times the screen worked properly.
I decided to test my sensors... i installed androsensor [free] from play store. Magnetic sensor and proximity sensor had issues. The proximity sensor will work only once and it wrongly tells the phone that there is something close to the proximity sensor. This causes all the black screen problems during calls. It is default behavior of the phone to not listen to any touches or key pressed during the call if the phone is close to face. With proximity sensor misreporting, the phone assumes that the phone is close to face and it ignores all touches and key presses.
I then decided to force screen on while calls. I installed proximityscreenoff-lite [free] from the market. Under this app's settings I selected it to keep the screen turned on while calls.
To my surprise it somehow forced proximity sensor to work as it is actually intended.
Now, during calls the screen turns off when i bring phone close to face and again turns on when i move it away from the face.
[Magnetic sensor problem]
On some boots Magnetic sensor failed to start [it was not detected]. After a boot or two it worked. But its reading remain near constant even if you rotate the device. Well i hope to work something out for it some day as its not that important for me right now.
I hope this helps all and especially developers to find the culprit for the real problem. Till then this will fix your problems.
Got this problem too, app solved it!
Maybe some dev should look into it.

Just wanted to say that it's awesome that you tried to fix this as it drives me nuts. One question - does this still work with the latest version of the proximityscreenoff lite app? I've tried to find the right settings to do the above and I'm a bit confused - would you mind putting it in dummy language for me?
Cheers

Hello ,,
on my side with [ROM] KVT49L [AOSP] 【4.4.2】Dan&Ktoonsez 【CM Edition】 - Stables only! - May 31, 2014 , i have the same issue , thinking to switch from cm edition to normal ..
Hello, seems my proximity sensor is not working, actually it's been like this for a while, but i think it's time to fix it... if I may
When I make calls screen goes black. I tried *#0*# but doesn't bring up anything , only "Connection problem or invalid MMI code". I had to enable to end calls with power button
I installed Proximity Sensor Finder it shows "proximity sensor available" but always at 3.0 cm and sensor last covered for 0ms
any suggestions?
I just now remembered it occurred after a display changing service
I hope it is a matter of calibration
are there any commands working with 4.4.4 stock for that?
Did you manage to calibrate and make it work? I have the same problem, but I've not changed display.
Hi all I want to know if anyone has problems with the proximity sensor. I think has lost sensitivity in CM 13. When I am in a call, the sensor do not turns off the screen until I stick the phone at mi face completely.
I appreciate any ideas you can give me to solve this problem.
Hello everyone,
Few weeks ago I was replacing LCD in my Sony Xperia Z3 (d6603), and something must went wrong, becasuse since that time, my approximity sensor is turned on all the time. When I want to call someone, screen instant is going black and I can't do anything... Now I can end call with power button, but it only works in normal calls, not in Messenger or Whatsapp :/ I tried almost everything (calibraiting, permamently turn off with apps etc.) and this sensor is still on. And here is my question:
Guys, do you know any way to turn off approximity sensor for ever? I'm looking for solution in internet for a weeks, and I can't find anything, that can help me
My phone is stock (Android 6.0.1), not rooted, but if it's really needed, I can root my Sony
Best regards
Adam
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
