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.
Today when I dialed someone, the screen switched off, like when we bring it to our face, cover the sensor, tapping didnt do anything, only pressing power did bring back the screen, after that all was normal, except it wouldnt switch off the screen when the sensor was covered again
Did another call, the same, rebooted the phone but still the same. I use Dialer+, but tested with standard Phone app and the same happened, any suggestions
Yesterday all worked fine, the only apps updated yesterday where: Google, Calendar, MoboPlayer and Shazam

Same happened calling with Whatsapp...
No one
The proximity sensor seems to work fine otherwise
I've had the same issue on seemingly random occasions. Lots of people suggested checking the proximity sensor data using AIDA64 but it all checked out fine.
Only thing that worked for me was to recalibrate the motion sensor under display settings. Hope that works for you!

I had the same issue on Lollipop, I upgraded to marshmallow and it still exists. It happens at random times, sometimes the proximity sensor works fine but sometimes it kind of freezes and the screen remains off even after a phone call, I have to touch it a bit to make it respond.
Any permanent way of fixing this? Any solution would be very helpful.

Mine never had the problem other than that one day before I upgraded to MM, I have the phone since January. Did you try re-calibrating the sensor like Gator said
Same happened with MM, recalibrated the motion sensor under display settings, and it is working again...
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
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.
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
