I'm having trouble with my phone screen when I'm on a call. The display turns off and won't turn on until a few seconds after the call ends. Home and power buttons do nothing while the call is active.
Sensor fix
Did you install the sensor fix after flashing?

I didn't know about it. The website I got the install instructions from wasn't the greatest. I'm guessing just flash the one that says sensor fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488986 here?

I was earlier on cm11s and everything worked fine. Then I manually flashed the cyanogen os 12 ota using stock recovery. Since then the proximity sensor becomes active during incoming calls even if I dont answer the call. During incoming call if the sensor gets covered, the screen goes off. After that I flashed the latest ota with 'OK Oneplus' and the problem was still there. So today I flashed Euphoria Rom (5.1) thinking that this may solve it but the problem still persists. Can anyone tell me the solution to this?
Thanks!

This is only normal!
The goal of this is to not interfere with the screen while the phone is against your face.

But usually the proximity sensor becomes active after accepting the incoming call. But in this case it happens ever if I don't accept it.
This never happened in cm11s

there is a flashback zip file but i don't know where, you can search it up in the forum using the search tool or to disable the sensor from the settings (personally i disabled it)
Does anyone have a fix for this issue. Its extremely annoying that I have to wait for sensor to check if its clear before answering a call. Usually a 2 second delay on incoming call.
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 ?
Hi.
I have this wierd bug. When i call someone. Screen automatically goes off and wont come on until call is finished.
I know this isnt due to proximity. Even when the sensor is not covered up.
I am on stock mm rooted.
..
Does this mean my sensor isn't working or software issue?

Most likely your sensor is bad and always reporting NEAR, the symptoms you are describing are exactly what would happen in this condition... have you tried a sensor test app from the Play Store to see what the proximity sensor is doing?
Finally worked!!!! had to calibrate sensor
Well thanks i tested the sensor it was always showing 1cm reading.
Calibrated it using an app on playstore. >> Proximity Sensor Calibration <<
Now working fine.
Cheers!! :good::good:
Guys!
Do you experience proximity sensor issues while answering calls on OP7P?
For me while I'm on calls. The display comes on and gets disturbed and get pressed by my ears all the time.
Also any idea of where the proximity sensor is located on OP7P?
Thanks ?
Yes, I'm having the same issues. While I'm on calls I often activate the notifications pulldown. It would be nice to know how to fix this.
If you pull down the notification shade, the sensor is located just above the fifth icon on the first row. IE behind the screen.
If you pull the shade all the way down it is above and between the third and fourth icons. Easiest way to describe it. Put your thumb over that area with auto brightness on to watch the slider move.
Annoying while on a call that the screen comes on.
I'm experiencing the exact same issue with the caller app.
I also tried to make a flip cover to turn screen on or off with a proximity sensor detection app and it didn't work either.
I search a little in engineer mode (*#808#) and found that there is multiple proximity sensor, the IR sensor work quite well but it doesn't seem to be the default one.
The default one seems to be the ultrasonic sensor which works really bad.
There is also a "TP" proximity sensor which seems to be a near field detection which seems to work if I move my hand near the screen.
The sad thing is that in dedicated app to use or test proximity sensor (and in antutu or else) only one proximity sensor is listed (The ultrasonic one I guess) so you cannot switch to use the one which is working well.
Isn't this in the wrong place? Shouldn't it be in the Questions and Answers section?
Mods?
Probably just here looking for a mod to improve the situation
Actually I was going to open a new thread in Q&A when I found this one with the same subject and problem.
Do you think I need to open a new thread?
Is any of you experiencing the same issue as I described in my answer?
did anyone calibrate the proximity sensor using *#808# first? That seems to fix double tap to wake for some people
I tried to with no luck but as I explain in my first message the IR sensor is only used when screen is off (that's why it could help with double tap to wake)
But when screen is on another or couple another sensors are used and you can't calibrate them.
I think ultrasonic sensor is used when screen is on.
Do someone tested proximity sensor with any app on the play store? (Like proximity sensor test)
Put it on a table and check if it's working, mine is absolutely not. If I hold it like I was about to phone it works a little but it's not impressive.
Since I got 9.5.7 (EU version) earlier this evening screen turn off when I make a call.
I'm having this issue since 9.5.8... It's very annoying and I'm really disappointed, I often turn on airplane mode during a call... I tried to calibrate but it doesn't work.
I'm very very frustrated

When I click on proximity test it says it needs calibration how do I do that cause otherwise I can not test my proximity sensor cause when I click on it nothing happens
I am on 9.5.8

I've been having issues with phone calls but more so with pocket issues.. When I had the 6t pocket mode kept the phone neutral but this phone doesn't seem to have an accurate prox sensor.. Is there a way to activate a pocket mode?

Happening to me too, approached oneplus via live chat about this issue and at one point they said to wipe and reset my phone even if I told them the sensor is working but seems badly calibrated. Will try the wipe & reset and if it's not working I am returning my phone.
Proximity sensor is working fine - there is a bug elsewhere on the firmware that does not lock the screen when it is blacked out

But I have had this issue since release.. Do you a link to this information? If that's the case maybe someone can look into the firmware and see if it's minor tweak that can fix it?

This has been an issue since the release. Do you have a link to where you read this information? If it is the firmware maybe someone can look into the settings and see if needs a tweak..

I have reported this to Funk wizard on the OOS support thread and he said he cannot reproduce it anymore on the latest test build, so... We have to wait for next firmware release and see if that is indeed the case

It's called a proximity sensor, i.e when the phone detects your ear is close by to the receiver during a call, it switches off the screen to save battery. There's an option somewhere to disable it..

I know that, but here the display become black only with the outed calling and the phone isn't near my ear.
Did you found any solution for that i am facing the same issue ???
