So I've used the search bar and google
there are 4 circles at top
1. Ambient Light sensor
2. LED notification lights
3. ???
4. Proximity Sensor
so whats in between the earpiece and proximity sensor
also why dont apps recognize the ALS? I've used android sensor box, androsensors and my android sensors but still nothing. Though auto brightness works. I know, I move my finger over it and the screen gets dim

The last 2 sensors are for proximity i guess, cause even on my mini pro i have 2 circles for proximity. In the stock rom, it is never detected, its on by default. In roms like cm10, CM10.1 etc. you can choose whether to use it or not, change the different levels etc.
Well in mini pro its
Led, ambient sensor, camera, proximity.
Tbh, I think I have seen two dots instead of one for sensor. (Really hard to see)

Yep there are two sensors for proximity.
why are there 2 sensors for proximity? using the sensor apps I've noticed that only that the right most works the 3rd one doesnt really do anything when i cover it. but it works so I'm fine with that
but how come the apps dont detect the ambient light sensor? that too is obviously working because the screen dims when i hover over it
Try using the service menu and see if it works there

I did, it doesnt
My device (a Samsung Galaxy pocket Plus) has no proximity sensor and therefore doesn't turn off the screen when I am talking. So I am searching for a way to turn off the sceen at the beginning of each call to avoid random input on the touchscreen.
I found a lot of similar questions in the forum, but I found none that applies to my situation. In most cases people have a crashed proximity sensor and use the app "proximity screen off" as workaround, but that app doesn't work if there is no sensor present.
Is there an app that turns screen off in the moment I or the other side accepts a call without the presence of a sensor? If not: Would it be a big deal to create one?
Hello I bought this phone last week and I realized that there are problems with the proximity sensor. When I make a call the screen does not turn off the phone closer to my face. And after it goes out to set time off to end the phone call must again press the power button.
I tried also with Android rom 4.4.2 and the probleme is the same.
If I go into test mode by typing the dialer *983*0# there is no way to test the proximity sensor, accelerometer sensor only
Have you encountered this problem ? or phone does not have the proximity sensor
Hello!
The proximity sensor on my mate 10 pro seems to be very sensitive ,just slightly moving the phone when I am I the middle of a phone call and I accidentally put the call on hold , bring up the numeric pad ,mute the call or just hang up out of nowhere.
Is there a way to calibrate the proximity sensor? I tried the proximity sensor doctor app to recalibrate the sensor but without luck.
Hi,
The fingerprint animation while screen is locked appears every time except when the phone is vertically upside down or when the phones screen is fully covered from top to the level of power button(I guess some proximity sensor is used to make this happen).
But exactly where is this sensor??
I am not able to find an app which connects with the proximity sensor of our phone. Any app?
Just curious
