[Q] Using proximity sensor as power button for locking screen - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
My phone is Huawei Ascend G525. I've installed AUTO SCREEN to lock my phone and turn its screen off automatically when I cover it up. I want to know whether it can harm my phone and its sensor?????

Proximity Screen On/Off (Automagic)

With thus flow you can silence the phone when you get a call (place your hand over screen for a sec), turn screen on/off and turn on your computer via wol (place your hand for 2 sec over screen). Proximity is turned on by face up orientation and turned off by compass (when you move your device - picking it up). You can rotate it on a table also as long as orientation is face up, proximity will stay on. If you carry your phone around in a case proximity will detect that and turn off so it wont turn on if you put it on a even surface while it is in the case. As soon as you will take it out and put it on a table proximity will come back on again. Calls are also detected so it will turn off to not interfere with the screen on/off functionality during a call.

[Q]How to prevent black screen during calls

I'm running all stock on my Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. If I talk on the phone with it next to my ear the screen turns on and off as it should, so I know that the proximity sensor works. If I use the speaker phone and have the phone away from me, the screen goes black after a minute (which is what I have the screen timeout set to). The only way I can get it to wake up is to hit the power button. This is not a big deal except if I want the power button to end calls. Is there a way to wake the screen after it times out without using the power button? Or, is there a way to tell the phone not to shut off the screen during calls?
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 5- Screen won't turn on after call

As the title says the phone's screen won't turn on after I ended a longer call, i have to press the power button to get the screen working.
Did it happen to you also?I have this phone for 2 months but it never happened in the beginning, this seems to be a recent issue.
Is it a hardware issue or a software bug?I've tested the proximity sensor and it works just fine as much i can tell, it switches the screen of and on, it never happened to wake the screen during a call and to activate random keys.
Another strange thing that i noticed during a call:If have the keypad up and i lay the phone horizontally the screen won't turn off if i hover my hand over the proximity sensor but if i put the phone vertically the screen goes off or if i hide the keypad the screen also goes instantly off.

Proximity Sensor Kaput

Is there a way to shut-off or override the proximity sensor?
I'd like to be able to turn the screen on and off with just the side button/power button during a phone call.
The sensor itself is already broken and the phone stays black/off right after placing a call no matter what kind of movement I try to do with the phone.
A manual override would be fantastic.

the screen turns off and on

Hello. I dropped my phone and the screen broke and replaced it with a new one, but I use it stably when I restart the phone, the screen turns off and on several times when I put the phone to sleep and wake it up again.
after this shutdown and power-on process is finished, the phone begins to freezes
there is nothing in the special software, this problem occurs in the original software
Could it have something to do with the proximity sensor?
