**Standard Disclaimer applies here: If you screw up your device trying the following steps in this thread, I cant be responsible. But thats old news**
If your phone stays black after a call you can fix it by a couple of ways.
First:
Code:
[B]Q[/B]:Where is the proximity sensor?
[B]A[/B]:Top left of the screen in opposite place to led, if you tily screen under the light you should see the sensor reflect back at you.
Install this app and test your proximity sensor to be sure, that it is not broken: Proximity Sensor Finder
Options you need to try first.
The screen protector, yes it might be transparent but the sensor detects it. Using a sensor testing app from the market it suggested the sensor was covered almost all the time.
So the solution was replace the protector with new one but cut an arc at the top just big enough around the sensor at the top left, easy fix now in call screen is more responsive.
With a vacuum cleaner vacuum over the top area of the phone. This must suck all the dust out of there.
<-------------------------------------->
1 of the other option would be an app called Anyunlock which seems to have solved the problem for me. It seems to be able to wake up when the screen turns off after a call. The app allows you to unlock with the volume key and replaces the lock screen with its own screen.
This option works on my Desire S
<-------------------------------------->
If it's broken, you'll see 0.0 cm all the time.
Solution to disable proximity sensor incall is to put this line into build.prop and reboot:
you can edit the build.prop by pulling it first from the device by doing:
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\
open with wordpad and add the following line
Code:
gsm.proximity.enable=false
Then
Code:
adb remount
adb push c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\build.prop /system/
reboot so that the settings take effect
This option works on my Desire S
Credits
For disabling the proximity sensor in call go to Matri}{
Rest of the credits go to all the people that figured the other stuff out. (to many post on the net so I don't know who made them but thanks)
Thanks to myself for making this tutorial. (It's my first on xda)
If you have any other idea's just pm me or drop a post.
Thanks

Thanks for the guide, it seems that there are quite some people affected by this and I find it much useful. Just a suggestion - IMO more proper place for it will be the General section, so you can request moving it there from the moderators and also adding it to the Index thread (PM ben_pyett)

Hey,
I just tried your fix but it didn't work for me. Screen still goes black when receiving a call and only reacts when I plug it in through USB. Could it be because my ROM is ICS?
Also tried removing the screen cover & sucking out the dust on the top.
The Anyunlock app works, but that's not ideal of course.
Yes it could be that it's Rom related. I use Endymion. And matri}{ extracted it from the Rom.
Wich Rom do you use. I can take a look for you tonight when I get home.
The anylock works most off as between solution.

Hey,
I tried it on MIUI ICS, Endymion which both failed. Now I'm using the Reaper ROM but it still doesn't work.
It should work on Endymion. I used it and I even checked if it's the same proximity line in de file of update 3.5.
Did you changed it on the phone or with a text editor on the computer?
I tested it on Endymion just 5 min ago and it worked.
Does your screen still stays black after hanging up? If so can you only unlock with USB cable or power cable?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
Hm, you're right, it does work on Endymion (sorry). I'm having some stability problems with that ROM though...
Do you know how to enable it on MIUI or Reaper (CM based)?
I'm going to check for you tomorrow ok. I'll get back to you.
I just discovered that there is a setting in the MIUI dialer to disable the proximity sensor! This also works, sorry for taking up your time.
But maybe a new suggestion for people who don't want to edit the build file ? Try MIUI!

out maybe the problem is that the usb drive is not bootable, if that is the case, maybe we need a usb iso, instead of just the files....
I think you can create a bootable usb via pc settings. then put the recovery files on the same usb. try that.
can you believe I am still downloading part 1 at 77kb per second? only 31% done and 3 parts to go. uploaded.net is not very good
have you managed to upload it anywhere else please arqueiro?
my upload rate is very very low, 100kb so will take a lot to upload it too, pm me and i send you my account name and password, since i buyed a premium accont just for this
Got it in dropbox, split into chunks, I'll upload it to a torrent later as well..

The Torrent option would require me to upload it to a site of some description which might be a bit dodgy as far as rules etc go this end..

Not got anything to create an ISO with, however if you create a bootable USB and copy the files it should work as expected.

I've done a factory reser and i think it already does a zero fill for the entire data partition. In fact it takes a lot of time and i found someone on internet supporting this behaviour after a checkup in the sources for any evidence.
A factory reset done from the android menus (if you have stock recovery) will wipe everything you put on the device (except system apps).

I want only to know if my data is securely deleted. A zero fill makes impossible the recovery without special equipment. So if the android factory reset does also a zero fill I can sell my phone or rma it without privacy issues

A factory reset doesn't go through and obscure the data like that. It removes the table of contents so the files aren't visible to the file system, but the data is still there (as you know). I actually just went through this with my previous phone before I sold it. I formatted all partitions with twrp and also formatted internal storage in Windows but a couple of free recovery programs were still able to find some deleted files.
I just ended up copying my entire music library over to fill up the partition so all blocks were overwritten. After that, the programs weren't able to recover anything. Not very high tech, but effective. You could even make a couple of passes if you want to be extra sure.

I would factory reset the device. Pull the sim and go through the normal setup without setting up any networking or accounts. Once the device is running, encrypt the device. Last, factory reset the device and then send it for rma.

This is a tested and working Exchange Security Bypass that I am using on my AT&T LG G3. This mod should work on any variant of LG G3 that is running stock or AOSP ROM's.
All credit goes to the below developer, I was simply looking for a solution to bypass the exchange security policy that required me to have a password or pin on my lockscreen. After several tests using Xposed Framework and other APK's I came across this and it works flawlessly. You can see the developers thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965468
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if:
• You get caught by your employer and are punished in any way
• This bricks, breaks, scratches, dents, misplaces or cracks your phone
• This security bypass leads to any negative outcome.
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I have rooted my phone and used Root Browser to perform the following steps (You can use ADB as well, please follow the guide in the link above).
Instructions:
1. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK EMAIL (LGEmail.apk & LGEmail.odex) - Copy and place it in another folder incase anything happens and you want to revert.
*Stock LG Email is located in system/priv-app2. After your make a backup, delete the stock LGEmail.apk and LGEmail.odex files
3. Download the files attached to this post and put them in the system/app folder
4. Change the permissions of the two new APK's (Exchange2.apk & Email.apk) to rw-r-r (DON'T FORGET TO DO THIS)
4. Once the 2 files (Exchange2.apk & Email.apk) are placed in your system/app folder, click on them and install
5. That's it...close out of your root explorer, open your new email app and set up your exchange account. :good:
I hope this helps users who are looking for a solution to their exchange security issues like I was. Enjoy
btw u can only do this if u are rooted..for those who arent dont even try it

It should not be necessary to delete the LGE apps, the two can work side by side. And if you are set on disabling the LGE app it is probably better to freeze it with TBU than delete, in case you change your mind later.
Those contemplating the use of this mod should keep in mind that the LGE stock email app is FAR, FAR, FAR more intelligent than the stock KK email app when it comes to autoconfiguring your Exchange connection. In fact I recommend running the LGE stock app first, then going into settings and taking a screenshot to document how the account was configured. You will almost certainly have to enter this information manually into the KK app because it will be unable to figure it out on its own.

Go to data/system and there is a file locksettings.db. Open it in SQL editor. Next tap on locksettings, and u should have a item listed as lockscreen.password_type . Change the value for this to 0. That will change lockscreen to swipe to unlock.....

I'm assuming I'd need to set up exchange first and once it enforces the password lock I'd need to modify the file? I would assume when adding an exchange account it would change change that value.

One odd thing is happening. I have root explorer installed and from that application, I browse to the location where the locksettings.db file lives. However, when I click on the file and the "Complete Action Using" pop up window comes up, I don't see SQL Editor as one of the choices there. Alternatively, I thought I'd just open SQL Editor directly and try to edit the file in there; this does not work since SQL Editor has not been granted root access.
Anyone know if there's a way to grant a specific application root access?

Hi everybody. I was trying to put this thread in development section, but I don't have enough permission.
I have a rooted Verizon Note 5 in hand (Retail Version). Somebody did it. Then I need to remove some stock apps in it. Like Mobile Hot Spot, VZ Navigation. I was trying to do this in a easy way. I got full access to system folder and put a SU command in xbin and I successfully run it in terminal, but when I run Titanium Backup. It says it can't run the su comman under xbin folder. Does any body knows why? Am I using a wrong su file for note 5 or I am not actually root it or what are the conditions can make Titanium Backup running.
Sorry, I don't know how to attach pictures here. I can only attach these link to google drive.

Does any body knows why? Am I using a wrong su file for note 5 or I am not actually root it or what are the conditions can make Titanium Backup running.
Sorry, I don't know how to attach pictures here. I can only attach these link to google drive.

Where are you getting that? He had someone flash an engineering kernel on his device. Its real root, but it's real unobtainable for most users.
Yes right

I'm not even going to bother saying anything to the folks who come in here and the first thing they type/say is "Fake".. I would like to know where they got the idea that it was fake from to begin with?! I've seen it myself and already know it's not fake as do you but seriously where do they get this crap from?!

Lol relax. It's just a silly outdated phone. No use in posting root and not sharing anything. Had enough of that with the note 4 before permanent root was achieved

And you think that the dev who has it, is even going to want to share it with us when multiple people keep saying harsh/mean things towards him/her like you just did? When I think about being in the shoes of the dev that's getting his work/things called fake or whatever, I wouldn't want to share nothing then!! I'd just keep it to myself!

I just had a look over the Google document he posted. If he's Asian I have faith if he is the developer. If he isn't a developer then fake lol
So there is no root for the Verizon Note 5?

Not publically available. There seems to be an ENG kernel a couple people have their hands on, but nothing for everyone yet.

Did you ever get full root or console root? What commands did you run?
I believe this is a bunch of BS!
