[Q] Disable proximity sensor - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have a problem with proximity sensor.
I looked through many threads here, but they didn't solve it to the end.
Problem:
When I am making/received call, my screen goes blank (near ear or far).
Tried using various apps (ProximityOFF, Sanity, ScreenBl), also tried adding "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to a build.prop file in system, didnt help.
At the moment I am using ScreenBl (it is always on), but it works kinda weird - it helps me keep screen awake during every SECOND call, i.e. call happens - screen off, call happens - screen on, call happens - screen off, call happens - screen on and so on.
Also, during that every second call with screen on, if i press speaker button twice, screen goes off (until call is ended).
So i wanted to ask, maybe someone found a solution of how to PERMANENTLY disable proximity sensor?
Thanks
P.S. I also cant figure out why it happens every SECOND call... maybe if you could help with that, we could find a solution?..
P.P.S. It's a Galaxy S, Darky's ROM, 2.3.3 - worked fine for many months, until couple weeks ago (dont know what changed....)
Edit: Same thing is happening without ScreenBl - still screen is on/off every second call...

hey,
similar issue with my SE xperia x10, the touchscreen broke in that corner where the sensor is so every time i make a call the screen gets locked and i have to remove the battery to end it.
the solution i found was intalling this app: Screen On from the market.
it keeps the screen on when some apps or process are running. i choose "active call".
please excuse my spelling, english is not my native language!
i hope you can solve the issue!!
rgrds,
Manuel

Two little problems

Hi. I'm on a rooted Nexus 5, stock ROM & Kernel, and I'm experiencing two little issues:
1) Proximity sensor problems
When I answer a phone call the screen just doesn't go off. The same if I make a phone call. This is pretty annoying because during phone calls I often touch buttons with my face and I mess up with settings.
2) Notification LED stuck
Sometimes, let's say about once every two weeks, the notification LED keeps flashing even after I wake my phone and read the notification. The only way to reset it is to do a hard reboot.
Do you have these problems too? How could I resolve?

HTC HD2 black screen during a call

Hi guys, I've a problem with my HTC HD2.
When I make or receive a call the screen turn off and I can't do anything, I can't use the speakerphone or keypad, nothing at all.
If I want to close the call I must unlock the phone and hang up by navbar.
I've searched on web and I found many thread in relation to my problem; I've tried many solutions to resolve it but failed.
I've also disabled the light and proximity sensor but it didn't work. The problem still remain.
I've forgot to say that I changed the main flex and the display of my HD2 because the originals was damaged. Until now I never had any problem, it all started with the new pieces.
I tought that if the sensors were damaged the screen shouldn't become black when I answer or when I start a call, am I wrong?
Another thing, I've just inserted headphones in the phone and made the call from another device: the screen remains on and I can use all the commands without any problems. What could be the problem?
I hope someone can help me to find and resolve it.
Ps: I apologize if there are mistakes in my english but it isn't my mother tongue.

Nexus 5 vibration trouble :(

Hello everyone ... on my Nexus 5 once again happened some incredible problem with vibration ... Here's the thing: Last night my Nexus just lay on the bed and when I took it, at this point I found the lack of vibration. First, I turned on Vibrate when pressing the navigation keys, and found no vibration. At first I began to sin on the vibrating motor, but I remembered that I was already have this problem a few months ago, in the same way. When I downloaded from the Market program to test the vibration and turned her to work constantly, I found that the vibration motor that works but is very weak, as if barely barely turns .. As if he did not have enough energy. But! Motor is spinning so bad until not "turn off the screen." After blocking in a few seconds the vibration motor is working again as if nothing had happened! As well and clearly. However, once you unlock it as soon as the problem returns, vibration works very poorly. I have tried different programs for vibration control, no result. Found a video on YouTube of the problem, attach below. If the problem is simply to reiterate, I would like to know the cause .. This problem is very infuriated me yesterday, vibration at all almost no and I missed a few calls. I understand the engine is all right and I think that this is some sort of deep software problem...
I have already booked two motors, then try to replace, but not sure it will help .. Phone never fell or dropped, handle carefully. (but the body have a little small scratches ) A very long time looking for information on this issue on the internet, but found nothing ..
I dont want to go to the service center, I want to understand itself, with your help, of course ..
Factory reset or Reflashing ROM to any other doesn't help too...
Model - D281 16GB white.
ROM - CM11 Snapshot M9
Kernel - ElementalX 1.04cm
Recovery - TWRP 2.7.1.1
Can not listen to what people say on the video, the main thing to hear the vibration motor.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Russia and I write through Google translator... Hope on your help, guys..

MIUI issue - unable to disable " prevent pocket dials " & stuck screen while calling

MIUI issue - unable to disable " prevent pocket dials " & stuck screen while calling
Hello everybody!
I have a little problem on every MIUI ROM I tried and that makes me so mad. I'm using original OPO flip cover and everytime I open it I get "Don't cover the top of the screen" message instead of lockscreen.
I disabled this feature in Display & Call settings but it didn't help. Is there anybody else solving this problem? It's soo annyoing.
Another my problem is that when I dial and call to someone the display turn immediately off and the call still runs. So I'm not able to control phone when calling. I can disable this feature but it's draining battery a lot so I would prefer to keep this function enabled but in the working condition.
I think there could be some problem with proximity sensor. I would like to calibrate the sensor wihin *#*#6484#*#* but when I dial this nothing happens -_- I'm quite desperate now. Didn't find any solution on xda and even oneplus forums. Tried 5 various MIUI ROMs and still same problems.
Thanks for reactions. :good:

[Q] My Note Edge's Screen doesn't turn ON during incoming call

I've a problem with my Note Edge SM-N915S (Exynos device).
/i've never seen this issue before, just first time happened today:
First, I'm running few apps like FB, Messenger, Chrome... and I turn my screen off for taking a little rest before an important call of my boss.
It's about 15 minutes later, I got an incoming call of boss: the phone's ringing loud, but the screen still stays dark except there's an ELECTRIC-HORIZONTAL-LINE ... yeah I mean it's looks like a thin line of the CRT SCREEN OFF ANIMATION - but I'm currently at stock ROM, with no custom screen off effect.
it looks like the picture here (can't post image because of new user restriction please paste this link into your web browser manually to view them and help me )

I cannot turn it on with touching on screen or anything except press the Power button twice. Accidental wake up is Off. I've no problem when using this phone before and after this time, phone still work normally... there's no any problem with the screen, the touch, and even the proximity sensor...
But i'm afraid if is there any hardware problem with my phone or my screen which is making phone unusable. Appreciate help, please. Thanks.
