Hey guys, so the last couple of times I've made calls I noticed my screen would stay on during the calls. My ear would be pressing buttons during the calls causing havoc.
So I did a little research and found the hidden menu to test the proximity sensor, which is *#0*# on the dial pad. In doing so if your sensor is working correctly, at the sensor menu, the screen well turn green if the proximity sensor is covered. Mine doesn't, do I just assume my sensor went out or is there a procedure I can do to get it working again?

using Candy's rom (lollipop) with multirom. my display was cracked few days back & now replaced with another one. proximity sensor causing some issues. it works but problem is that when I make a call, taking phone near the ear turns off the display. But never turns on until the call ends, whether I take it far from ear or press lock or volume button. I disabled the sensor on kitkat via xposed module. but xposed is not supported by lollipop. any solutions?
Set the lock button to end calls. At least then you don't have to wait for people to hang up.
That's what my wife did when she cracked her screen.
Hey, I'm using Moto X 2013 Xt1052 running Lollipop 5.1, My proximity sensor is not working, I'm sure it's the proximity sensor because I used test apps and I can see it's detecting proximity all the time at a distance of 3cm.
Obviously, my biggest problem with that is that my screen goes dark when I make a call (Because the proximity sensor think the phone is near my ear). Trying to use the power button to turn on the screen didn't work so I set the power button to hangup calls (Otherwise I had to wait for the other side to hang up!).
I think the Proximity sensor has got some Hardware defect, Please help me telling a way how to disable the proximity sensor so that while placing a call the screen won't go off.
I have the same problem on my phone. It happens not always but sometimes during calls. Or when I hear a long vocal on whatsapp putting the phone on the ear.

It's very hard to disable it in software. The best way is to open up the phone and physically remove the sensor from the PCB. It's easy to chop it of with a flat screwdriver.Problem solved.
Recently bought galaxy m31 and found out that i have to press my phone real hard on my ear to screen to go off during call. I never faced such issue with previous devices. So i searched on google and found *#0*# to check sensor working or not. Sensor is working correctly but there is no fixed place of sensor, seems like whole upper part of touch screen is used as sensor and there is no actual optical proximity sensor inside this phone. It's also clearly written Virtual Proximity sensing. Anyone facing same issue on this device or any other phone which uses this technology and any fix for this?
I have also the same problem. Thanks, at least you dig deeper "virtual proximity sensor".

It doesn't have any separate proximity sensor, rathor the front camera works as a proximity sensor. Try covering the front camera properly.
Hello I've been happily using L.O. S 7.1 for three month on my XZ1C . But It's been a few weeks that the screen turns off to black when dialling a call, before I put the phone to my ear. It doesn't lit back unless I make a long press on the screen and activate the speaker, or the keyboard icon so that the screen stays accessible while phoning. It looks like a proximity sensor bug.
I've made some tests with "Sensor Readouts app" , and the proximity sensor seems to react normally.. So I've tried to use another Dialer app, or to reinstall the Stock Phone dialer app because it's a very uncomfortable issue. BUt no success so far... Is there a way to reinitalize the Proximity sensor and/ or the Telephone app on LOS 17 /1 ?
Thanks for any hints.
I am facing the issue with a sensor while making call after oneui2.5 update.
Sometimes, the screen remains black after the call disconnected. To wake up the screen I used (double tap or power button)
After a restart, it works good. But after some time it became laggy again.
Does anyone face the same issue?
I have a quite different issue with the sensor. My screen doesn't go dark most of the times even when the phone is close to the ear. I guess there's no sensor in this phone, it also uses front camera to adjust the brightness.
Yes, the same issue when close to the ear. I don't know about the separate sensor or camera sensor.
