Hello to everyone
My nexus s 2 days ago started to go crazy ... when trying to answer a call the proximity sensor goes crazy ... I mutates sound and the screen turns off every 2 seconds ... I tried everything kinds of ROM's, APK's but it seems that nothing solve the problem ... sensor works perfectly, I tested with FUN-BOX.apk.
Currently using MIUI JB 3.2.8 because it has the option settings to disable proximity sensor when you make a call or answer ... but it is a bit slow this ROM ...
I did a lot of research and found that a lot of people have this problem ...can anyone help us? PLEASE!!!!

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
Hi. I have noticed some problems with proximity sensor on my sensation. When I make phonecall my screen wont shut down at all, i have tried vipers jb and albinos and then android1234567 4.3 so I think problem is with hw, anyone what I should do?
I have the same issue with the roms u mentionned, and in my case dunno if it's HW related because with skype and viber the proximity sensor works fine!
This helped me....sensors seem to work again
Hi,
i also (and a lot of people in fact) have the dreaded proximity and lightsensor problem. And indeed there seems to be no solution... People have been reseting and reflashing the Sensation till it drove them mad, without the problem solved... The problem seem to start when the Sensation was upgraded to ICS, and seems software related...
In my quest to solve the problem I stumbled upon a solution on the htcsensationforum.... and gues what, it seems to work for me, that is, the sensors work more often now.
I quote the solution, since i cannot paste the link;
Hi Tim.
I had the same problem. Phone is now fine after 24 hrs. Here's what I changed:
1. Turned off 'Pocket Mode'. Settings -> Sound -> Pocket Mode. No obvious change by itself
2. Turned off 'Fas tboot'. Settings -> Power -> Fast boot.
3. Turned off, removed battery, waited 30 secs and powered back on.
Simple as that! The proximity sensor was glowing occassionally after the upgrade, and that has gone away too. On the bonus front my battery life has never been so good (using about 60% of what it used to)!!!
Cheers.

Don't know how long this solution will hold, but it seems that the pocket mode and / or quickboot option are causing the problems... What i use to check the sensors behavior is the free app android sensor box, found in the playstore.
Maybe one of the devs here can take a look at this solution, and can come up with a permanent solution to have the proximity and lightsensor working normal again...:good:
Just my 2 pence on an old pain in the *ss problem, thanks go to Maestro @ htcsensationforum for his solution...
Cheers:cyclops:
hi.
i have a p500 and i am always changing roms and the last rom i have flashed recently is rc5 4.4 rom from jenkins. i don't remember but once i flashed a new rom a few month ago, i recognized that the proximity sensor does not work during calls. that means the screen does not go off in calls and my ear touches the screen and menus. so i searched a lot in internet and forums and found some solution for it but none of them fixed it. the last solution was in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353972 but the problem is that there is not such file sys/class/sensors... so what should i do? i have to mention that i have tested the proximity sensor with an app named androsensor and it shows that the proximity works well and detects my finger. so any suggestion or guide could be useful. please help me because this problem irritates me a lot.
Hey Guys!
I have been wandering around new roms lately, I am using 64gb Sandstone Black Oneplus ONE device and I am in europe region (Turkey).
I have this issue since I am using CM12.1 nightlies and custom roms, My screen was not auto rotating and I was wondered if its a hardware issue or not. I installed Sensors Kinetics application from google play store, There is bunch of sensors listed in that application but I almost only have 2 or 3 sensors which is lights sensor and a non working proximity that always has 0 cm value and never changes. Tested while talking with my friend from the phone, screen not goes off when I have the phone near my ear.
I lately installed a rom from @Sultanxda Unofficial cm12.1 with CAF kernel. in this firmware my every other sensors are working. Accelerometer showing some results, screen is rotating, proximity tells 1-5cm values, gyro is working etc.
But my sensors are broken in every other ROM I have tried until now. I am now using Slimsaber's rom and my sensors are not working.
I wiped cache & dalvik etc. evet formatted every part of my phone to get a clean install of some roms but still my sensors are not working.
And also I my cell is often get no signal, I have to reboot 2-3 times to get a reception.
Halp me please guys. What can I do to get my sensors back online in Slimsaber's or another roms?
Same here.
Worked fine with the stock ROM, with CM12.1 nightlies proximity and accelerometer do nothing (i.e. not effective).
Strange thing is, in some sensor testing apps the proximity sensor shows some data and seems to function, in others nothing happens. Same with the accelerometer.
Still there's no effect on the phones behaviour. the screen is not locked during calls, no screen rotation, ...
as for reception: unstable but restores quickly (I remember reading something about that...)
cheers!

Solved it for me, thanks man!
So, if TWRP does not update/flash the modem, it will persist after nighty updates?
[OT: for my own learning process: how come sensors are controlled/defined/whatever in the modem thingy? is there any info or documentaion on "what is where"?]
:good:

Must be something wrong with TWRP, or how they put the zip together..
Everytime i call someone and end hte call , the phone would have went deep inside either into some setting or app , because of the touch of my ear , due to proximity sensor not working properly. I removed the screen guard and still the same issue.
I used the proximity sensor fix app as suggested in one of the threads here , still nothing.. Its really making me soo annoyed.
Can someone please help me. I am using Havoc 4.19 Version.
