how to disable light sensor for optimus 3d?
You mean the light sensor that controls the brightness of your screen or the light sensor that detects when you are in a call and turns off the screen?
I'm pretty sure you can disable the first one by just turning off Auto Brightness. The second one can't be disabled as far as I know.

Well, I was also wondering because when you turn the phone in talking position but away from your ear the screen is still on, when you get close to the ear the screen get off right away...
Can you change the delay on the proximity sensor at all? When I move the phone away from my head it takes a good few seconds for the screen to come back on meaning it takes me about 5-6 seconds at least before I can hit the end call button.

Are you rooted? If so, what ROM?
Try using compressed air to clean the sensor.
Getting dust and lint in, or around the sensor can cause it to not function properly.

As I unbox n started using my brand new Samsung S8+, i am having this popup re the proximity sensor being blocked or something. Is this a firmware issue or hardware issue? Thanks if anyone is willing to entail their story re this matter, any fix would be of good help. Sorry if this question is being raised in this thread.
The proximity sensor is left to the earpiece, and right to the IR LED (the red IR sensor used with Iris scanner).
Is that area covered with anything? Screen protector, dust, whatever?

I find this popup whenever I take the phone out of my pocket. So because of that the proximity sensor is blocked? Its covered by my pocket. But what is the solution. Its draining battery.

That's odd, can not replicate.
Not an issue with software or hardware and its not draining your battery, LOL. It's a feature mate. You likely have "Keep screen turned off" enabled in your display settings. It uses your proximity sensor to turn off the screen for you if it senses that the phone is in a pocket or bag. I think it will throw up a dialog box if it gets triggered, that's probably what you're seeing.

My friend has a nexus 6p and the screen turns black after it heats and I've concluded that it's the proximity sensor problem.. Can it disabled? Help
Hi All,
Just wondering if the Always on Display turns off when the sensor is covered? For example when in your pocket? I'm just wondering as I seem to get a bigger battery drain when I have Always On Display turned on but alot of the time it's in my pocket where the sensor is covered? Cheers
