SOLUTION - Proximity Sensor Fix for Z Ultra - Give a try - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

This is an fix I've find for my Z Ultra, maybe It works for
your's too.
When I lift up a little bit the USB-Port, the Prox-sensor
worked again.
You can slightly push with your fingertip or with an USB cable plugged in.
When this makes the sensor working, put a little thin piece of plastic direct right under the USB Port.
Put It between the USB Port and the bezel, so that the USB connector stays that little up.
You can give feedback if it works or not.

Hey. You're a god damn artist!
I tried your idea earlier today before I put my phone together and I didn't really put any effort to it.
But I made a phone call and the sensor works just fine!

The last cm nightly build for togari: https://archive.org/download/cmarchive_nighlies before they shut down cyanogenmod.
I use SensorDisabler: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox to fake a maximum distance.
I reset the value to default in the app and made a call to see what would happen. Before the screen just went dark as soon as I pressed the dial button. But now the screen stays on and shuts off if I hover my finger over the sensor and turns back on when I remove the finger.
I like to point out that my phone behaved the same way regardless of which rom I flashed. Its was not an issue caused by cyanogenmod.

I will replace my back in a few weeks. Ordered a new backside today.
Such shi..t quality part I got when I ordered mine a few months ago.
The glass cracked right when I installed it the last time I wrote in this thread because I tried to adjust it just a little bit after mounting it.
