My proximity sensor always show 0.0cm and the screen is always black when I make a call.
I have tested 2 different ICS stock roms (XXLQ9 and ZCLPD) (flashed with odin), and about 5 different custum rom (CM10.1,Rootbox ...). I did 3 wipe between every rom and nothing works. When this problem started my screen start to "leak light" and every pixel became "bigger", now the screen is good again but the proximity sensor still doesn't work. Now I wonder if it's a hardwear problem and if it's possible to diasable proximity sensor during calls in CM10.1.
Are you using a screen guard? If you don't mind then try if removing the screen guard solves your problem.. That way you'll know if the sensor is dysfunctional or something else..

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!

:highfive:
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..
Hi guys, I have a issue with proximity sensor, it happend from 4.4.2 and now i'm in 4.4.4 and still facing with it.
At the first time I think that is my app problem, so I don't care at all. But today, I found it (maybe to late) happend with all thing include call and the test in hidden menu.
This is the way how I made it:
1. cover the proximity sensor
2. start the call
-> screen go off
3. un-cover the proximity sensor
-> screen not turn on even the call ended. All thing you can do is press Power button twice
If this only happend with call, ok, I can accept it like a feature.
But when I try reproduce the issue in *#*#7378423#*#* - Service tests - Proximity Swich test, the result show that the proximity sensor cannotchange state and always "Detected".
So idk the problem is my phone or sony firmware, anyone can confirm that? I did some searching but can't find anything.
Thank you.
i think the problem is in proximity sensor because as u say it happend in 4.4.2 and 4.4.4, and i've use both firmware and i dont face any problem like that, and u can check if u have ur screen guard on ur proximity sensor, because it happens with me once i put my screen guard on proximity sensor thinking nothing will be wrong because screen guard is transparent but that my proximity sensor becomes like what u say, always detect, check it
It's not the problem of sensor, this problem is in firmware. I am facing the same problem and my frd too.

i never face this problem,
which kernel you are using, i am using vinays nitrogen kernel, does this problem occur on stock ?
The Tampered, Unclocked, S-Off, Cid-11111111, HBoot 2.22, Rooted HTC One Mini that I have doesn't ring when Proximity Sensor reads "NEAR".
I'm aware of Sense 6 options like "Ring louder when in pocket" but none of them worked on making the phone ring when a call is received.
That happened when the phone was completely stock, so recently I went through all the process of S-Offing it to install a new Rom. I choose the latest Insert Coin 5.0.8, but the problem persists. so now I'm almost certain it's an hardware issue...
The phone has several years old and returning it for repair/replaced isn't really an option.
Since I'm giving this phone to my mother, I really need it to ring and vibrate when someone calls her or else she'll never pickup any calls with the phone in her purse.
I've tried installing Xposed Framework to have a try at the sensor disabling app, but the whole rom crashed badly and I needed to reinstall everything.

Is there a way to override proximity sensor when a call is received and/or making the phone ring regardless of proximity sensor state?
Looking foward for an expert tip. Thanks.
I've installed "[ROM][M4 - 4.14.401.1] Official Stock Sense 6 Rom v3 & Firmware" from xXminiWHOOPERxX -> Installed xPosed -> Sensor Disabler
Then I tried to Disable Proximity, Disable Light sensor, Mock Proximity to FAR, Disable both proximity and Light, Block Call app from accessing Proximity....nothing worked: Meaning the sensors still function normal...
BUT then I noticed something strange:
Running "Sensors Test" app,
IF I put my finger just over light sensor -> proximity reads "NEAR"
IF I put my finger just over proximity -> proximity reads "NEAR"
....Meaning that the light sensor is acting as proximity!
My next step was to identify which "dot" was the light sensor, since both acted as proximity and I used some black tape covering one of the sensors (that I've identified as the proximity)...and now the proximity sensor always reads "FAR"!!
To be sure it wasn't xPosed doing the trick I reset all things to normal and uninstalled everything...and with the black tape covering the sensor it still reads "FAR" thus resolving my issue of the phone not ringing when a call is received...
I now have to figure out if painting the sensor black has the same result, because tape looks ugly. I'll make a vídeo and post the link here.
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

My proximity sensor is not working while i am in a call. The screen remains black even after i take the phone one my ear. The sensor was perfectly working before one ui 2.1 update. Since i updated proximity sensor is not working anymore. I have already performed a factory reset but still no luck:crying:. Is anyone facing the same issue? If so what is the solution. Please advice.
