I have been trying to find a solution to the proximity sensor issue this device has when you either make a call or receive one.
After flashing firmware from left to right I encountered a grave problem with the camera, the view comes up upside down and mirror reversed.
How do one fix this?
Thanks for your input.

I resolve the HD2 problem for proximity sensor bug during call with this steps:
1. turn off vibration for connecting (go to dialer menu)
2. turn off dialer keypad sound (via HD2Tweak 1.2)
3. install Touch in call screen tweak 1.2

both original & energy ROM
Hi !
Thanks for your answer...
My problem is slightly different, but involves radio ROM and winmo drivers, because everything was fine with stock ROM 1.48.406.1 and radio ROM 2.15.50.14.
Now that I'm using the stock ROM 3.14.406.2 (wich includes radio 2.15.50.14)
when i'm in a call, the screen stays off even if the phone is no longer on my ear...
So that's why I as interested by your solution, but it does nothing on my phone...
With this last official update from HTC, i'm now facing keyboard sensitivity issues (everything was alright with prévious ROM and HTC patch for the sensitivity), and this proximity sensor problem...
i find the case can make the sensor play up as most manufacturers dont account for the sensor

please explain more.
manufacturers dont put cut outs on cases or they arent big enough so the sensor is then covered
I've got the Ultra running the latest OTA (had it installed when I bought the phone).
When using the camera I frequently get "Device is stowed" followed by something like "exiting camera." I find this occurs when I'm going to swipe to view the most recent picture taken by swiping from right to left. The camera app seems to have no traditional settings menu, I don't see a way to stop this. I'm assuming it should happen of I leave the phone on and "stow" it away on my pocket, but I happens on its own while in use.
Any ideas why this is happening and how I can stop it?
Aside from that, I'm surprised there's no photosphere option, and at how pixelated the photos are even in medium lit rooms. Pretty disappointing.

There is a proximity sensor on the opposite side of the camera. If you have your finger on it while visiting the gallery, it will exit the camera.
Please report this to Motorola! I spent a good amount of time diagnosing and reporting the problem this morning only to find out that they will only fix the issue if more people report it (well, that's essentially what they said).
These are all of the symptoms/instructions of the bug:
1. This bug ONLY happens when you shake to enter the camera. Opening the camera by tapping a camera icon OR entering the camera by swiping from right to left on your lockscreen widgets will not have this problem.
2. You MUST enter the camera at some point while the phone is off AND using the shake-to-activate feature. Once you shake to enter the camera while the device was off, it will happen at any time you shake-to-activate.
3. You MUST have a hand/finger on or near the proximity sensor on the opposite side of the front facing camera. This happens all the time when you are taking any landscape-styled photos.
So in other words, this is how you reproduce it:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Shake to activate the camera
3. Hold in landscape mode so that your fingers naturally rest on/near the proximity sensor
4. Swipe to gallery and swipe back to the camera
And there you go! "Device is stowed, exiting Camera..."
As I said, I'm quite p*ssed at Motorola for not having a bug reporting/fixing pipeline set up. Please call up Motorola's support and report this bug. I love their phones, but the camera was obviously given no love. This should have been an obvious problem while testing the usability of the camera.
If you don't want it to happen, hold the phone differently while taking pictures in landscape. Put your index finger and thumb on the top and bottom of the phone so that they aren't covering the proximity sensor.

Hi I have a moto x and was also curious about this "issue". I only noticed on the occasions you mentioned. Is it possible that this is a precaution so that your phone doesn't take pictures while in your pocket , being that it only happens when the proximity sensor is covered or semi covered.

Hello there.
I have recently had to replace my screen on my miro due to a crack, This went successfully in the fact the phone now works as before, with one minor problem. Since trying to make and receive calls my phone automatically goes to a black screen. this after many searches on the net resulted me to conclude that the sensor is blocked, as the screen digitizer was slightly different for the top left of screen too. the place where the sensors live. In can go round the problem with a set of earphones but sometime a call will cut off more using them. I downloaded the hardware disabler developed on this site but it doesn't load any drivers and then crashed, there also appears to be no other hardware disablers out there, or at least none I can find.
Basically I need some help on restoring the call function, either by fixing the proximity sensor or by getting rid of it
Any help will be welcome on this matter.
thanks
Hello there!
I have the problem since I put matte screen protector on my phone. Everytime I call/answering call screen goes black. Maybe it needs calibrating proximity sensor or something like, but I don't know how.
I would be very grateful if you could suggest me some way to fix this problem.
Thanks
Some screen protectors just mess with the proximity sensor, remove them and verify the sensors operation... If it fixes the problem, contact the manufacturer/retailer and request a refund, a screen protector designed for the device should not interfere with any sensor's operations.
There is no way to calibrate the sensor I am aware of.
Sensors Test app by Ettore Zaffaroni is a handy tool to check proximity sensor and others. It detects 3 levels of proximity, less than 1 cm, between 1 and 3 cm, beyond 3 cm on Moto G 3th. The proximity sensor on this model is right between the ear speaker and the front facing camera.
Thank you both for the answer.
The protector I'm using currently is custom cut (cause there was no other option for my phone in my region). It covers sensor and hence the problem comes. When putting on I didn't think there would form this kind of obstacle. The Clear one that I had purchased from amazon and used before was cut nicely and didn't cover sensor.
Lately I was searching some tools for calibrating and came up with an app named Proximity sensor restore/repair by Mobile Direction. As it says it only repairs the software problem not hardware. I gave it a try and for now sensor works. Though, I don't know if it will be permanent solution.
Alternative is to cut there too where proximity sensor is located, cause I don't want to remove the protector yet.
Oh no ! here it comes again! I had a long standing issue on Moto G Osprey with screen going blank when making or receiving a call . WIth AospExtended ROM 26/09 version it was resolved . In mean time I spent 1 year tried to resolve teh issue by installing stock motoroal firmwayre, proximity sensor disabling via exposed module, proximity sensor caliberation etc and nothing worked . But with 26/09 build thsi was resolved and my screen was working on 90% of calls and on 10 % dialler or call accepting option was not apearing but status bar was visible where on Andropid Nougat roms and Marshmellow Roms it was 90% of calls were made received with blank screen and then rubbing over sensor to wake up screen .
After the Alpha build 30/09 this has came back again . I have checked again on 26/09 build and issue is not there . Can anyone suggest why I am having this issue with new build or what changes been made into new build which can cause this issue ? I understand only few people have this issue and even on Lenovo forums there is no solution to it
Proximity sensor Complete solution 101%
I have also same problem and All osprey custom ROM last update has this problem.
But guys u can use cypheros 4.1.2 there is no problem with proximity sensor it's same stable as AEX 4.6

Hi guys! I have a problem with the proximity sensor: when i put the telephone near my hear ( when i make a phone call or for WhatsApp audios) the screen doesnt turn off. I've already tried the test (hardware test or proximity sensor): It doesnt show any functional signal and the needle doesnt swing. I'm Pretty sure the telephone didnt get hit, so i cant understand why this is happening. Is There anyone with the same problem? Do you have any suggestion?
I have the exact same problem, so if anyone can help, pls do so.
