My canvas magnus proximity sensor is not working properly. During calls screen gets blank correctly but the screen not get on automatically after removing phone from rear. It turns on only when either call gets disconnected or i have to press power button to on it.. When i check sensor via proximity sensor app it shows that it is working right.
Strangely of i use custom rom then it's working correctly. But not in stock ROM.
PLS provide some fix.
Thanks in advance

Its cricket season n i used to listen commentary a lot.
In play store only online fm apps are present. I want to use offline fm like stock one.
For proximity sensor issue, there is a fix for canvas 4 in the following link
forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/proximity-bug-fix-micromax-a120-users-t2994247#post58451322
Can any developer provide the same fix for our canvas magnus also??
Their is a BUILDPROP tweak for it if u want i can make a flash-able zip to solve it !

When I dial , the screen go off without any association with proximity!
both original & energy ROM
Hi !
Thanks for your answer...
My problem is slightly different, but involves radio ROM and winmo drivers, because everything was fine with stock ROM 1.48.406.1 and radio ROM 2.15.50.14.
Now that I'm using the stock ROM 3.14.406.2 (wich includes radio 2.15.50.14)
when i'm in a call, the screen stays off even if the phone is no longer on my ear...
So that's why I as interested by your solution, but it does nothing on my phone...
With this last official update from HTC, i'm now facing keyboard sensitivity issues (everything was alright with prévious ROM and HTC patch for the sensitivity), and this proximity sensor problem...
i find the case can make the sensor play up as most manufacturers dont account for the sensor

manufacturers dont put cut outs on cases or they arent big enough so the sensor is then covered
Hi I have a MTK6577 based Jiayu G3 (original version) which has developed a problem recently whereby the proximity sensor seems to have lost it's calibration settings. When in a call the screen will turn off when the phone is against my ear but then won't turn on again when I take the phone away again. I've cleaned the lens over the proximity sensor but this makes no difference. This is confirmed by using the Android app 'Proximity Sensor' which acknowledges when the sensor is covered but then does not change when uncovered.
I can calibrate it successfully in MobileUncleTools by going to 'Engineer Mode -> Engineer Mode (MTK) -> PSensor' and perform the calibration procedure. The proximity sensor will then work as expected until a reboot after which it is back to the same problem again. So I have to perform this recalibration after every reboot.
So what I would like to know, Firstly, is if anybody knows why the calibration in MobileUncleTools is not saved and does anybody know where the calibration settings should be saved to so that I can manually alter the settings. I have looked through all the system config files and I cannot find anything relevant.
Secondly, does anyone know of any other method of calibrating the sensor that would survive a reboot. I've tried various proximity sensor calibration app on the Play store but they all seem to be dedicated to a particular phone (HTC, ZTE etc) and don't work on mine.
Thanks for any help

Same problem here, tried different roms without sorting it out.
Have you already tried to go back to stock 4.0.4?

Yes, I've restored the Nandroid backup from when I first got the phone and it still is not calibrated.
There must be some way to save the calibration but I have no idea how. I've reported this problem on the official Jiayu Facebook page, I have emailed Jiayu direct and not had any response to either message. I have tried emailing the developer of MobileUncleTools as to why the calibration is not saved but, again, got no response.
So I really don't know what to do now.

Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 900 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/als_ps/psthd
This is the Proximity Calibration trig.
vredniiy's stable v3 ROM is good and stable enough, thought.

Well, I guess this is not an isolated issue. Here's what I did after doing a Factory Reset on the phone:
1. Go to Settings
2. Click on Display
3. Make sure that your phone is on a flat surface, and then click on Als_ps calibration and proceed to placing an object over the phone.
(I used a folded sheet of paper and placed it over the phone and pressed the calibrate button. Once it was done, I got the completion message.)
After doing this, I was able to place and receive calls without the screen blacking out. Even when it did, I was able to wake up the phone's screen by pressing the power button.
Hope that helps.
I have tried every single ROM on this Forum for Moto G 2015 Osprey 1GB version. However I am having same issue on evry ROM . Often I recieve a call my screen goes blank and I am not able to answer the call . Also when dialling out my screen goes blank after pressing dial . As a result I am not able to put teh call to loud speaker or use any other in call options . Can some please help me how to fix the issue . (I know work around to use Power Button to end calls and Volume to answer calls however that doe snot suite me as I ended up answering few calls which i did not wanted while mobiel in my pocket ).
Things I have done so far
I have tried this with both a screen protectoron and now have taken screen protector off . Issue still there
I have a a backup of orignal Motoroal ROM and this issue does not happen on orignal ROM
I have installed Nano gapps to make sure I have unough RAM free issue still there
I have tried most of the ROM 7.1.1 and even 6.0.1 all ROMS including Cynogen mod+ Lineage 13 and 14, ressurection remix, AOPS . Experience, Slim, AOKP, Cosmic , AOSP extended and list goes on and on but issue is still; there
Is there any specific reason for this issue ?
Is this to do with RAM, Sensor or custom ROMS issue ?
Is teher any way to turn teh sensor off which turn screen off whiel in a call and when i take mobile near my face (I am thinking if sensor incorrectly so wanst to check if turning thsi off makes any difference )
Can anyone please help
So your proximity sensor is acting up... are you on current baseband and firmware? I would suggest flashing the latest factory image completely via fastboot, verify operation of the proximity sensor, then flash your ROM again. A backup and restore in TWRP of stock is not sufficient to update firmware.

Just take the newest one there... Best you can do.
As far as testing the proximity sensor, make some calls and have someone call you... You can try a sensor tester app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester too
Brilliant , Thanks alot . will try that
FACING EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM ON XT1550
I have a common problem in all ROMs I'm installing . whenever I answer a call or dial a call my screen goes off as if proximity sensor is activated and doesn't turn on even when I take it away from my ear or press my power button. Screen doesn't turn on at all during call.
Phone remains fine for a day or two after I wipe cache etc from recovery but again the problem starts. This happens in all custom roms and also in rooted stock ROM. My device is XT 1055.
Kindly suggest any solution as it causes lot of inconvenience.

There is only one fix. find where is proximity sensor, usually it is on the top near front camera . when ever screen goes blank dry your thumb and clean screen with teh thumb where proximity sensor and screen will wake up .
Also you need to keep you pockets extra clean. It is better if you can hoover inside them as most of the time I noticed there was a little dirt always on my screen when screen went blank. I am noit sure if my mobiel screen has gone very catchy to dirt after 1 year use
I intially though iut was due to custom ROMS and I have gone back to stock ROM and recieved two motorola security updated still issue is there so this is not because of the ROM .
Try this
Goto settings and search default from the search button then select phone app and set the default app.
Just saw this and thought I'd try Phone Tester. covered or uncovered, my proximity det always said Far. I tested phone by making a call and then covering it and the screen immediately went black. I would suggest that some screen protectors might interfere a bit but you've already taken that into account. Note where it is (on my xt1540 top just right of ear speaker) and make sure surface is clean. Otherwise just may be defective.
EDIT: if you feel it's "defective" You might consider replacing the screen/digitizer in hopes that that would fix it and it's not a motherboard issue.
Facing same issue
My stock rom on moto G3 2015 was working fine. Yesterday i rooted and installed tesla when this issue started. Frustrated i tried ASOP Extended and here too same issue.
It's not the issue of the sensor since Stock rom was fine till 2 days ago.
Have tried Phone notificaion settings as well.
Any updates on this or else i may have to reinstall Stock ROM

Your device is a Moto X (1st generation/2013 )? A quick Google search would tell you this is a Proximity Sensor issue, it is device specific whether anything can be done or not, so you might want to check your device's group.

I too did proximity sensor calibration but it worked only for few times. But the only solution that's working is whenever screen goes blank I rub with my finger on proximity sensor area for 3-4 times as if like cleaning it. Immediately the screen lights up. This is the solution am doing since past few times and its working consistently.

Yes u can disable the proximity sensor.....
Procedure:
1. The device need to be rooted
2. Install the xposed module
3. After installing search for sensor Disabler apk in xposed module
4. Install sensor Disabler and open the app and select the proximity sensor.
5. Select the value of proximity sensor to Maximum level and save it
6. Do the reboot
This whole procedure will disable ur proximity sensor ie ur screen will no go blank on any call.
Note : Xposed installer for nougat ROM is in development phase ...
Do it ur own risk I'm not responsible for any harm.
All the best :good::laugh:

To my knowledge it is not there... U can Google it bro
As I'm also facing this problem...
Some info about xposed....
Xposed is not compatible with Nougat, the truth is it may never be a viable option again due to security changes in Android. The developers have said that Xposed is on it's last legs, the changes in Android and the security are becoming impossible to work around. Remember last year at this time, the developers of Xposed had mostly given up and thrown in the towel and said Xposed was dead with Marshmallow, but they got lucky and found a work around just before completely giving up. They have not as yet found such a exploit to make it work, and if they do it will only be temporary as the next version of Android will probably close it again. They may get it to work with Nougat, or maybe not, either way best bet is to learn to live without it, because it will be gone before too long.

hi buddy i have a solution for this hope this will be helpful............
i have flashed the cm 12.1 yesterday on my moto g3 and since yesterday i didn't faced the problem of screen going off on call .....
this conclude that rom is somewhere responsible for screen off during call on some phones( my opinion )
you can try this if u want:fingers-crossed:

Hi guyzz... My proximity sensor is giving me hard time for the past 2 months.... I have downgraded my device moto g3 xt 1550 osprey back to stock and also rooted it . I installed the latest xposed installler 3.1.1 apk and also installed the framework v87 which is latest ... after doing that i installed the sensor disabler apk and selected the proximity sensor value to maximum and saved it hoping that it will resolve my problem of proximity sensor causing screen going black on receving and making the calls . But in vain it does not helped me . What shall i do guyzzz ,,,,, help me please
A simple wipe with finger on proximity sensor as soon as u answer the call will solve the issue. Even I faced this and still do.
All I do is just wipe lightly on sensor area with my finger as soon as I answer or disconnect the call
