Hello from germany,
i flashed the Evoltion X Rom (Build Date 29.03.2021) and my proximity sensor does not work properly.
on calls or on voice messages (whatsapp, threema) the display only shuts down for 0.5 seconds, than
it wakes up again. I tried to flash the rom again, no difference.
Is there a workaround for the problem?

Hi.
Bought a S2 a few days ago and flashed 3 roms. (ressurection remix - pacman - jellybam)
In everyone something happens quite annoying.
When I press DIAL to make a call, the screen goes immediatlly off.
Then I'm forced to press the home button or power button to get the screen on again...but as soon as I try to get into the call screen (to use the dial for example), the screen goes off again! The call is still active and I can speak in normal conditions, but I'm unable to get into the call screen!
What may be causing this problem? Is it possible to be a proximity sensor problem?
It's starting to p*ss me off a lot!!!!
Some of those symptoms are the result of the proximity sensor in the device. Read about it in the manual that came with your phone.

I think you missunderstood me... This is not my first S2...or first Android device.
I've had S2, Arc S, S3, etc...
I know how the proximity sensor works...
What is happening is that the sensor turns off the screen regardless of having something near by or not...
Therefore I'm never able to use the dialpad during a call or even see the hang up button...or the duration of each call.

Strange. Maybe the sensor is faulty or it's a software glitch. Did you try to reinstall kernel/ROM?

I would suggest typing *#0*# in the dialer, clicking "sensor" in the menu that comes up and test the proximity sensor. If thats fine, I'd suggest a softeare fault.

Hi everybody,
I'm using the CM 10.1 and I have a problem with my light sensor.
After some hours without reboots it stops working, the "lux" indicator becomes fixed until I reboot the phone.
After that it works again for hours, until next "sensor crash".
I'm the only one with this problem?
Thanks!!

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
I've been using PA ROM for Galaxy S3 i9300 for a while now. So far didn't have any major problem except rare auto-restarts. But now I'm facing an issue with LED notifications. While the screen is off for any new notifications at the time of arrival the LED flashes once and that's it, then no pulsing. The notification settings are intact. What could be the problem?
Device GT-i9300
ROM: PA 4.45 for S3 STABLE
Same Here
I9300 with PA 4.45 (STABLE)
LEDs don't work 95% of the time. At first I thought either K9 Mail was a problem or a Gravity Box conflict. I did a second clean install (did not reinstall Gravity Box) but get same results. Regardless of which app. K9 Mail, Whatsapp, etc. Led flashes for a split second and that's it. Sometimes if I turn the display on and off it will start to blink.
Also did a test with Tasker>LED Notify, same results, flashes for a split second. After screen on and off blinks as it should.
Solutions or suggestions would be appreciated

Exactly same problem here. Any notifications like for missed call will work here because the screen is on when the the call is received and the screen goes off, then the led works perfectly fine. Tried also turning of the screen exactly when a generic notification is incoming. After screen off the led blinks as set. The problem is only when receiving something screen off. I don't know how android handles notifications, If known I can find the correct source of the problem.

I assume you meant screen ON. Actually I did a Tasker event for received notification with a Secure Settings tas of "wake device for 1 second". However a) it did not help the LED that way and b) it did not go off after a second.
I will be trying Light Manager as described here . Will advise if it helps but need to get back to work. Been spending too much time on this the last few days!

UPDATE: AcDisplay is working very nicely for me. LEDs work fine and its a neat app too!
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
