Nice program, i also have problems from time to time after placing of call - display was black and need to unlock to finish call. Let see if will work for me.

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.
Proximity sensor is supposed to turn the screen off when held to your face, though I have yet to see it do that. On my phone the proximity sensor turns off the display every time I make a call or play a voice mail. This is really annoying, I almost hold the phone to my face, I have headphones, and sometimes I have to do a battery pull to end a call, and forgot about accessing other information on the phone while on a call.
I have found a patch that works with limited success by use of a startup script which resets the sensor, but it's not reliable. I understand that this is a bug in cm10,and I am running pacman based on cm10.2
Does anyone know of any other solutions? Like can I just turn it off? My old phone had no proximity sensor and accidental button presses were rare.

It works. Mine is set to 100 on top and 0 on the bottom. I don't know what both of them do, but those values work for me. Haven't touched the app since first use, it sets on boot automatically.
thank you. i will benefit from this greatly
hi all
i have spent almost 2 days for an answer , no luck
my problem is
my phone s3 lte . screen turns of as soon as i obstruct the front camera and the 2 sensors area . it was ok before , since few days it started doing this . now i cant take screen shot pictures by moving my palm across the screen for example , not sure what this is due to
any help please .?
You've posted in the wrong section, questions go in q&a section -those for the i9305 stand more chance of a reply that won't brick your phone in the special q&a for LTE phones.
Report your own post and ask for it to be moved.
Having said all that, you've probably got a corrupt framework or a hardware fault. Flash a fresh official stock rom after a factory reset to test. If it's still the same then send for repair.
Is this when in a call sorry to ask noob question just curious if your covering the proximity sensor

Screen Blanks out on Galaxy tab
I ran this test and your screen is only supposed to change color from white to green during the test. My screen blanks out completely during the test.
Not sure if the sensor is bad or if it is a software or and OS issue yet.
you tube.c om /watch?v=N8G6ksaciho
Need advice.
I just received a SM-T705Y, KitKat. When I am in only some applications not all, the screen shuts completely off when my finger passes over the two sensors/camera near the word "SAMSUNG" at the top of the device. I have tested the cause and done it repeatedly by putting a small piece of black electrical tape on the sensor.
With the tape on the sensor, the screen never shuts off. The screen then will come back on several seconds after I remove my finger/tape from the sensor. Also, I do not have to actually touch the sensor to get the screen to turn off. But it activates the lock screen when it does turn off. ANNOYING !!!
My SM-T705Y is not rooted. It is in developer mode.
I think its the sensor that turns the screen off when you take a phone call is still stuck on ???
I have the phone proximity sensor turned off in: Settings> When I'm the phone screen The screen stays on.
Auto adjust screen tone : ON
Auto brightness is off
I have the "Smart Stay" turned off in: Settings>Device>Display.
Screen timeout set to 10 minutes. Screen mode set to "AMOLED Cinema"
I have restarted, not rebooted the SM-T705Y

The proximity sensor is located there. That's why you have that issue. It's normal behaviour.
If you are trying to turn the screen off during calls there is an option to do so in either calls settings or display settings.
If you move the phone away from your head it will turn the screen on. It's a proximity sensor, thats its job!.

Fix
I have same problem with my samsung and I fix it!
Just close all recently used app (press button next to menu button and close all) and you will have normal screen..... Looks like some app, especially call app make problem and activating proximity sensor. So one more time close all recently used app, press button next to menu button and close all app....
Good Luck!

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 .
Hey guys i bought this phone few days ago i am facing proximity sensor issues right now
when i try to call someone it will randomly go to dark screen
proximity sensor in testing apps does not work correctly
i tried removing the screen protecting glass and case it still persist
i thought this issues might have been fixed with the new update it doesn't guys should i return this device and get new one
Mi 11x pro uses a ultrasound chip for the proximity sensor and this works combined with other sensors like the gyro. So when you put the earpiece to your ear it detects an orientation change and switches the display off. I'm currently on indian miui v12.5.2 and don't face the issue you mention. Slow movements are known to confuse the phone. Other than that the screen shouldn't switch off after initiating the call unless you change its orientation. Testing apps work with orientation change.

Almost all of the sensor apps fail this, but in call I have no problem whatsoever.
Are you having trouble during calls?

Wow, new info, didn't know that, thanks
I have the same problem on my Mi11i... well... my problem is that the screen wont turn on when I move my phone away from my ear... the screen stays off, i cant get it to turn on even if i press the power button. Annoying as hell... You call someone, he doesent answer, and you cannot cancel the call because the screen is black and no way to turn it on! Or to check a phone number or email.... I will send it back as a warranty isue....
The problem is with MIUI 12.5.4.0, we need to wait for the fix with newer version of MIUI or try to install xiaomi.eu ROM
Hi Guys, i'm using Xiaomi 11x pro version 12.5.2. I'm facing proximity sensor issue also proximity sensor option not available in my phone in incoming call setting. please help on this.
