My proximity sensor appears broken so it always is detecting "covered". This causes the screen to always go off when making a call.
Is there any way to disable the sensor and/or the call screen obeying the sensor?
I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1.2 on a Sprint Nexus S 4G.
Note that I've tried using Hardware Disabler to disable the gp2a driver (which should correspond to the sensor). Sadly doing that just causes the device to reboot,
It is already the second time that the Proximity Sensor of my Nexus 5 is broken. During a call the display turns off and I cannot turn it on again. When I check the sensor with the App "Sensor Box" I can see that it always returns 0. As a workaround I want to disable the broken sensor. I already tried to disable it by adding "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to the build.prop file but this does not work. Does anyone has other ideas how to do this on a Nexus 5 with CM11 installed?
Hi,
like the Question Titel show i search for a way to turn the display on when i wave over the proximity sensor with my hand.
It works when i have want to take the display off, but not to turn it on.
Can anybody help me please?
Reply to very old post, but might be handy for future users: have you noticed the display off monitoring in the preferences? I think you need to enable the proximity sensor there.
Hello everyone.
I use M8Sx Single SIM Europe variant.
I changed my up and bottom covers of front, and my proximity sensor doesn't work.
It works after I use Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator app or some proximity sensor detection app, but after a reboot, I have to reopen the app and calibrate it again.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks.
hi, is anybody know if there any mod (magisk/xposed) that disable proximity sensor only?
already tried disable sensor on developer mode toggle, it working fine, but i only need the proximity sensor off (faulty hardware)
it makes the screen goes always black if receiving/call (phone & whatspp)
Already tried sensor disabler on Xposed also not working as it already outdated
im using 10.3.4 oxysgenOS
Try turning off the pocket mode in settings. Otherwise you'll have to manually press the power button so that it doesn't become dark.

Hello,
I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
Thanks
nope
i think the hardware sensor is faulty, and you need to change it
temporary solution is to disable hardware sensor on quick toggle (enable it on developer mode)
disable on receiving call, enable it again after that
i replaced the sensor (have to replace the damage oled screen because fall of the ground)
and now its working again
