I`am running 4.4.2 and not rooted and i don`t have that issue. Are you rooted and running stock or custom rom, running mods like xposed framework, running a custom kernel and/or recovery? Info please
ya i am rooted and i m in stock rom only,but using Franco kernal(R32).Xposed framework i m using gravitybox(KK).I have CWM recovery.
What is causing this problem any idea??
N thanks for ur reply.

Look in the Xposed and/or Franco kernel thread for a similar issue like yours, there may be a fix posted. Last resort is to flash a stock image in fastboot and that will probably fix your problem.

When asking for assistance it's best to provide as much information as possible. As it stands I have no idea what you're referring to, and I think it's safe to assume most people won't either.
Ok i will search in there threads.Hope there is some fix posted
Thanks.

Hi,
But what is "this proximity sensor( during call) bug" you are referring? Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about, I never had noticed a bug or anything else with the proximity sensor during call
Like _MetalHead_ said if you want help describe the problem...
Ok fine i will keep that in mind, next time if i post any questions.

For the next time ok, but for now (in this thread here) you can't describe/explain the problem???
There is video on youtube regarding this.i cant post it in here so.
Anywaz the issue is when i m in call,
Steps
1)Call a number
2)Screen goes off.
if i try to make the screen on(to end the all or anything) i have to press 4-5 times power button which also happens by luck to make the screen on.
Also when in call (screen is off),if i try to do something in the status bar.Like if i touch near status bar(in call screen off),when the call ends u can see the status bar was active even if the screen was off.
Hope i m understandable.
i have posted the description of the issue just now .
Historically, this was usually down to a crap screen protector blocking the sensors. OP - are you using an SP?

I have the same problem, during call the screen go black like it shuld be ,but its stilk active so if you tuch it it still responsive as if its on, i found thet if i disable touch control the problem goes away...

exactly the same for me!!! (except R33)
Same issue on mine, and I don't use a case or screen protector. It's annoying because I have to enter a passcode to check my voicemail, but the screen stays black when I move the phone away from my head. Putting it on speaker seems to fix the issue, but I don't always want my phone calls broadcast to everyone around me.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea
Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?

Hello
I have a big problem, unfortunately the display screen of my new nexus 5 was crashed over the proximity sensor, so my proximity sensor always on, when I am making calls my screen is off and i can't do any thing even hang up the call , so how can i disable my proximity sensor.
My phone isn't rooted
I don't think you can disable it, not without root anyways. Can you still turn the screen on with the power button?

See if any of the suggestions here work for you.
Also try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff
All of these things were found by searching Google for 2 minutes. Sometimes it can be a better option than here for unique things.
Good Luck.

i did google search before posting here and i tried both before posting but it didn't work with me
thank you again , waiting other suggestions
it looks like no solution for this problem ?????????????????
please help
i can't use my phone ?????????????????
if people already given you options, and it doesn't work. what do you think you should do ????????????????????????????
Get it fixed by technician. Disabling it is only a temporary fix.
Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

Yes i'm using franco r33, I reverted to from r34 due to otg issues that I need to get around to sorting out. Hope things go well for you.

Just had to be send mine back for same problem, only turning it off didn't fix my problem. Not rooted
Hmm...this just started happening to be as week this week. Happened twice today. I'm running the stock ROM & kernel.
I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.

Installed FC 33, the touch screen problem is not there anymore but the graphic distortion is back.
It happens once in the while and looks like poor TV signal for second or two.

Oh OK, if I reboot it's working fine and since 2 devices have the same problem using same set up, it shouldn't be hw problem.
Well mine has gone back.. Sounds like a different problem.
Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
No will light flow solve this?

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.
Q few months afo i replaced my G3 Screen as old one was broken and after updating it to M.M stock rom or even flashing some other M.M + roms touch is not working from staring after ph boot up.
But when i go down to L.P it work perfectly....
Any one can help....
PlZzz...

Yup... need a Moto OEM touchscreen, half of the third party ones, typically the cheaper ones, don't work on Marshmallow. We still don't understand why, but it's been a thing for quite a while.

This is a known issue... we don't know why for sure, but some non-OEM replacement touchscreens do not work with anything but Lollipop... And we don't know how to make it work other than replacing it with an Moto OEM touchscreen or one that is of high quality.

Because it creates other potential issues for minimal gain I assume. I can't really answer that question definitively.

Does the screen blank (turn off) when you hold it up to your ear? If so, I do that know, if it doesn't you have a proximity sensor issue and the device needs to be repaired/replaced.

I'll explain........the problem is when i am making a call and not holding it to my ear (Or it hapens in the time gap between dialing and holding it to my ear)........same thing happens in the case of incoming call, that is i cant pick the incoming call(either the screen freazes or the ghost touch automatically" Decline" my call).
I am attaching a link down here........please have a look at it........ it is a screen recoded video during an incoming call.
