Does anyone know if the p30 pro has a real proximity sensor or is just using the front facing camera?

There is something under the top display, if you lock your phone put 1 finger on the right side next of the top camera you get a message about touch being deactivate because the screen is obscured, that works with the camera being clear.
Right camera - half way to the display edge seems to be covered.

Yes! In the upper side, in the middle beetwen camera and right side. Very diffult to see
Oh ok, it's actually visible above the display, would have thought they put it underneath.
Anyone know how to disable the proximity sensor? It keeps turning off my screen whenever I put it into a phone mount case. Also disables double tap to wake

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here, but there's something that keeps bothering me.
On the left side of the LG there's this 3(?) LED lights or something..
Does anyone have a clue on how they work, or if they even work?
Well, they are not LEDs, they are sensors. Two of them are obvious, one is proximity sensor and the other one would be light sensor. Don't have a clue about the third though...
I'm secretly hoping the third to be a notification LED of some sort
Thanks though

- Accelerometer sensor
- Proximity sensor
- Gyro sensor
eh, what?

That makes no sense. The gyro and accelerometer have no need for visual input, hence highly(!) unlikely that they are what you say they are.
i suspect the first 2 from the left are both proximity sensors, it could be to increase reliability.
the 3rd is the light sensor.
The proximity sensor is based on an IR diode and an IR receiver, just "film" your O2X with a camera and you should see the IR LED flashing.
Thank you guys
Still think they should've put a LED in it though.
My i9305 dropped and now the front glas is cracked. screen & touch are still working, but the glas in front of the proximity sensor is cracked.
it does now always report 0 (attached to ear). Only with bright light in a specific angle I can trigger the proximity sensor, so I know the sensor itself is not broken. So the screen stays black when calling someone.
I tried recalibration: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353972
but it did not change anything.
I dont want to replace the front glass, because I heared it might cause more trouble (with screen, touch and the sensors) - besides the proximity sensor everything does still work fine.
I recently noticed that my camera module makes rattles when I barely shake my phone. It almost sounds like there is something loose inside near the camera module. With the s pen out, it still rattles the same, so it's not the s pen.
Thanks.

That's the OIS Lens making that noise. All OIS camera lens do that until the camera is activated. Launch the camera app and you'll see the nose goes away. If it doesn't go away then the magnetic stabilizer is no longer functioning as it should. It should activate and hold the lens in place and modify the wave length strength it receives based on what the camera is focusing on.

Thank you. It's doesn't rattle with camera app opened.
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.
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.
