how do i calibrate proximity sensor from the diagnostic menu. for samsung focus.
Basically my phones screen goes blank when i make a call and I have put my thumb on the proximity sensor to "wake" it up. I was reading somewhere that this could be "fixed" by resetting proximity sensor through diagnoistic menu. but i couldnt figure out how
Actually, the same thing happens on my Optimus 7. When I make a call, the screen goes blank, unless I have Bluetooth or headset attached. It takes a few seconds, or as you described a hand wave over the proximity sensor to bring back the screen.
Dunno if you got this answered but...
From the Diagnosis keypad, type *#0*#
Then tap toe Proximity button.
Issue with proximity sensor in Samsung focus sgh i917
I have the same problem. My LED screen broke recently and replaced it.
It looks like after the screen replacement, the phone's proximity sensor is always in detected mode [in the diag]. So when ever a phone is made or answered the LED screen goes blank disabling all functionality till the other person disconnects.
I ran the diag but it doesn't give me an option to calibrate the sensor. I tried to install the latest diag tool too but same results. There is only one button, "EXIT".
The diagnostic app version is .0628
OS version is 7.10.7720.68
Please help.

I know exactly how to fix your problem. I had the same issue! I replaced my Samsung Focus's LED screen, and exactly the same problem as yours! I tried everything here, but didn't work. I finally found the solution. When you take the old screen off your phone, there is 3M tape (black) between the two little sensor. That rips off with the old screen when you take it off. The one sensor shoots infra-red, which should not be detected by the sensor right next to it. so, when that black glue is not there, it senses it and shots the screen off. So, what i did, i took a tinny piece of sticky black rubber from that stuff that you fill the whole in your car tire when it's punctured, the tire fix kit, and put it between the two sensors, below the screen of course, and to my amazement, it now works!
try it and let me know if it worked! Make sure though that you don't cover the sensors with it. I'm sure it will work. hope you haven't spend more money to fix it and that I'm not too late to give you the solution.
Later!
Hi
I have bought a Medion tablet (P9514) and a cover. Now i am trying to get it to turn the screen on and off by using the proximity sensor, and it works when it turns the screen off.
But now i have a problem, it seems like it is shutting down the proximity sensor with the screen so it don't turn the screen on again.
I am using the smart cover app.
Are there a solution to my problem?
Thanks!
I do not own a Medion tablet, but I would believe that it was not meant to also turn on when opening the cover.
The main reason why I believe this is that when your tablet "turns off", I suppose it goes to an idle state, or a deep sleep mode. As a result, it does not detect the proximity sensor's signals.
Hope I am not wrong.
thanks for the answer, but are there a way to keep the sensor on?
i also think that the device goin into sleep deep mode.
Hi,
My canvas 2 screen was broken so i got it replaced but after that it seems there is a problem with proximity sensor. While making or recieving the calls my screen turns off and it doesnt turn on. I have tried some apps but no help.
Please let me know how can I fix it. Is it possible or disable proximity sensor completely in A110. Else, an alternative solution would also help.
Is it possible to use power button, Menu button durijg call to turn screen on/Off.
Please help. I am struggling since many days but couldnt find a solution this proble.
Thanks

When i receive a phone call the screen turns off when i put it to my face, but when i move it away the screen never turns back on. I can't hang up the phone i end up having to restart the whole damn thing. Anyone else experienced this?
Yes I have the same issue going on now. I'm trying to see if there's some kind of manual over-ride or if the phone can cycle the screen on and off with just the side button / power button click alone. Would be fantastically helpful.
Mine is not dirty, it is broken, I have tried cleaning it with no avail.
Solution on 2nd post.
Hi.
Lately I'm having problems with proximity sensor.
1. During phone calls, after getting phone to my ear, screen turns off and that's fine, but after ending the call screen never wakes up. I have to press the Power button to wake up the screen.
2. After pressing the power button, screen turns off and AOD screen shows up, that's ok, but after putting it to pocket or after covering the proximity sensor with hand and taking it off the AOD screen doesn't show up. It's black screen always. I have to wake up the phone and off for AOD screen to show up.
I was testing the proximity sensor with different testing apps and it is recognizing near proximity but it never recognize that there is nothing near anymore. Ex.: during testing I cover the proximity with hand and it is recognizing it, but when I take my hand off, proximity sensor is still saying there is something near.
Problems started some time ago occasionally but since yesterday it always like that. It started on Android 10. Downgraded to 9 (ver 1.9 from zte de site) and it was ok for 2 weeks like. Yet it started to get stuck for good, even upgrading back to Android 10 (v 2.4) didn't help.
I looked where the sensor is, left side from earpiece and I swear I could see some dust under the glass, but since the phone is waterproof (IP68) how there could be any dust inside? I was shaking the phone to get rid of the dust from the proximity sensor to no avail, sensor is still stuck.
No glass protector applied, no any cover.
What do you guys think? Should I get RMA for it? Or s there anything can be done? Anyone else having these problems?
FIX for proximity sensor getting stuck/not working properly
Found fix by myself.
Proximity sensor in my case got some dust in it or it de-calibrated itself. If proximity sensor is broken on hardware level, probably this solution won't work. Yet, you are free to try it anyway.
If your proximity sensor de-calibrated somehow or got dust on it and it is misbehaving, do the following:
1. Go to Phone app, enter:
Code:
*983*673636#
to enable EMODE (self-testing app), toast info about enabling EMODE will be shown,
2. In the Phone app enter:
Code:
*983*0#
to start the EMODE, menu for various test will be shown,
3. Go to SENSOR TEST
4. Cover the proximity sensor with your hand ? (upper side of the phone ), test will say something like PASS in green color),
5. Swipe to the bottom of the menu, place your phone flat on the table in not so bright environment and hit CALIBRATE.
6. Your sensors are now re-calibrated and proximity sensor will work like new, even if it is dusted.
7. If you want to disable EMODE, go back to Phone app and enter
Code:
*983*2567336#
but refrain from doing so, if you want to run EMODE again in case of any of sensors misbehaving again and wanting to recalibrate later.
That's it, my proximity sensor is working again like new.
Sidenote: if there is dust inside the phone, phone is not so waterproof (IP68) after all. Just be careful with water with it

Hey! I have the same problem with the proximity sensor and even though I did the same that you say, nothing changed.
Do you any other solution?
