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.

Have you tried to close the ambient sensor with your hand? If you're on dark room it should automatically lid. but if you're on the bright room, it is of course turned off. there's an app on Market to monitor the ambient sensor. Play with your thumb above the sensor to see if it's working or not.

well, maybe reflash? dunno for another solution.. if it still persist, maybe you need to reflash with SEUS.. if it still like that, maybe you can ask to Sony Center i guess..

is there no 1 to help friends?
my keypad lights are working all are lid but only for few seconds may called it for 2 seconds that also when we unlock the phone either by slideout the keyboard or by pressing the unlock button...
i flash my fone 2-3 tyms by seus but no sollution...
is there any solution via changing drivers etc to enable keyboard lights only when we slideit out without the use of sensor or else..however my sensor is working
or any 1 please provide me there folder files of "sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_misc_led.0/"
Hmm i don't know any other solution manjeet. But i want to share you the same experience like yours..
I have just reflashed into the normal firmware. but when i tried to test the light by closing the light sensor, i am surprised to know that the keyboard was not lid too! It just works for 1 second when i open the keyboard, and turns off soon. i was in panic then, but i tried to be calm, and when i tried to hide into a dark room, it works again. Fiuhh..
I don't know but maybe you need to really go to the dark places. Seems that the Proximity sensor and Light sensors work in tandem. If it still fails in the dark, then i guess you really need to have it serviced.. Dunno bout the cost, but it shouldn't be too expensive..
Good luck with your u20i bro.
thanx hansip......

Hi all, i have a LG L7 II P714, and my WhatsApp is experiencing a weird problem... when someone sends me a audio note, when i click it to play, the screen goes black (in the chat part, but the green line in upper side stays with less brightness), i first thought it was a problem with my battery, or screen, but i found that other smartphone users are experiencing the same problem, here's a video i found showing the problem:
youtube.com/watch?v=bliQdxj-ezQ
My WhatsApp version is 2.11.152, is there a way i can solve this problem? Thanks for the attention!
I also have this issue. The screen is still barely visible after clicking a voice note when it goes dark. However I can just about make out movement if I scroll up and down the conversation almost like the brightness has been extremely turned down.
If I click back the screen returns to normal. Very strange!
On a Samsung Note 3 running Kitkat 4.4.2 and Whatsapp 2.11.186

I had this issue before until i found out it's not really a problem, it's only one thing i used to do wrong without noticing. When you play audio note on whatsapp don't put your hand or fingers on the sensor next to the front camera, because if you do the sensor will make the screen go off, it's just like when you make a phone call and you put your ears at the speakers the screen goes off by it self and actually the sensor is doing this so you don't press anything with your face while you on the phone. I don't know if this make any sense but i hope it helps lol
Its Because of the proximity sensor it routes the audio to the earpeice instead of the speaker

Thanks for clarifying,
however, I am holding my phone in my hand and, as I click the whatsapp play button, the screen immediatly goes dark.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour for whatsapp?
Thanks

I have a "naked" galaxy note 2
I also faced this problem on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM g360h. There isn't a problem with your device. It's a whatsapp bug. While listening to an audio note, keep your hand or face or anything else away from your phone's proximity sensor, usually located aside of the front camera. This helps almost all the time... The proximity sensor is used to turn off your device's screen while making a call. Whatsapp believes that you're making a call while you're actually listening to an audio note, thus triggers the sensor to turn off your device's screen... just keep your hand away from the sensor while listening to an audio note.... it'll help

Thanks, but it does not help with my Galaxy Note 2
mmmhh i have the same problem. It has nothing to do with holding my hand somewhere. Could this be a bug? I had this problem afther flashing a custom rom. Everything worked fine, accept Whatsapp voice message. And i do use this a lot
Someone with an idea?
I have the same problem, even when my phone as nothing near the sensor, when i play the voice mensage he goes black
there are no xposed modules to this?
using Galaxy s5
I too have the same problem. I am not blocking the proximity sensor. I can't even take back the control of the device till the entire audio file plays completely.
A lot frustrating.
When I press the back button the voice comes back for a second and again nothing.
Please help.
Same problem here, Samsung Note 3, Note 5 and S7 Edge! The screen goes black, but that's not really the bad thing here.
Besides that, the audio usually stops too!
Had the same problem
Something that worked for me ,on my Sony Xperia z3 compact - there is an xposed module called Sensor Disabler. Change the setting of the proximity to remove sensor, reboot and it should work.
The solution for this kind of problem is. Go to 'Setting > Sounds & notification > Interruption' then untick 'events & reminder'. That's it....
Hi all!
Here recently anytime I use one of the KK based roms, once I make a call, the screen no longer works. I can't get it to come back on until the call has ended. There have been a few times where I've been able to get the screen to light up again and it will work until I go back to the actual call and then it's totally unresponsive. I've tried different dialers and the same thing happens. Any ideas?

Hello
I had the same problem lately with different galaxy model, the problem was with light sensor, the screen was not fixed correctly at the corner of light sensor, so I had to push it down little bit the get the light inside the sensor,
dose the light sensor work correctly with viber for example?,
You could try test your phone light sensor by entering general testing mode by entering *#0*# inside dialer and go to "sensor" to test the light sensor put your finger over the light sensor and see if the screen become green or not if so then your problem is not with the light sensor, check if the touch screen is fixed correctly form all the corners.
Good Luck

It's only when i use a new KK Rom. I can use the TW Roms and it works perfectly fine.
I did the test and it's green when I don't cover it and goes to red when I cover it.
Just tried a 4.4.3 Rom and it still won't work.
I went back to a 4.2.2 TW rom and everything is working fine.
Hi,
I've just had my screen replaced on the LG G5. However, post screen replacement I am facing the following problems:
- As soon as I dial a number the screen goes black and locks itself. I need to press the button at the back to unlock the screen.
- If i make a call using whatsapp, as soon as I hit dial the screen locks itself
I checked and it looks like my proximity sensor is not working. In the apps that I use to test it, it either just reads '0" for the proximity sensor or "NEAR".
Anyone else faced similar issues or have a solution?
I just had my screen/frame replaced and am having the same problem. Tap to wake rarely works and while making a call the display stays on while phone is to my ear. Did you find a fix?
I fixed my problem doing some Googling. I can't post the link to the thread but Google "LG G5 Proximity Sensor Reddit mobile repair".
"I had a similar problem. I replaced my display/frame myself and the tap to wake function rarely worked and the phone display would stay lit when held to my ear. Following the advice here, I found that there was a rubber grommet around the prox sensor window on the old screen that I hadn't transferred over. It's very hard to see and almost looks like it is molded into the frame. I dug it out with some tweezers and transferred it over and it is back to normal."
