CM12 Nightly/ Incoming Call Proximity Isuue. (Video) - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i have two oneplus one phones that i purchased new two weeks ago. They are booth running the latest CM12 nightly and google apps. No other mods and booth are showing an issue with proximity sensor during incoming call's.
The issue i am having is that during a incoming call if the proximity sensor is covered the screen goes dark. This is a issue because sometimes the phone is in a bag or under papers and the screen just stays dark when receiving a call. It takes about a second once the sensor isn't covered to turn back on. I have checked and unchecked the"prevent accidental wake up" and there is no difference in behavior either way.
I have also tried the official Cyanoges OS12 and its having the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try find @zephiK OnePlus One Radio modem thread, and flash the 44S radio files. It might work for you, it worked for my friend.

When moving from KitKat to Lollipop you need to flash a Lollipop modem because the two Android versions handle the proximity sensor differently. Flash this:

Wrong advice. Flashing the 44S modem is only good for KitKat ROMs. He needs to flash a Lollipop modem.

timmaaa,
Thanks for your help. I have downloaded the file and flashed it over a clean cm12.1 install (official) and nothing has changed. Same issues with sensor on incoming call.
Any other recommendations ?

Hmm, interesting. Which version of 12.1 are you using? There are a few in our dev section.

Ok, I didn't realise officials nightlies for 12.1 were out yet. I honestly don't know why that's happening for you, it's usually caused by a modem mismatch. Maybe @spanna has an idea.

[Q] Relay 4g proximity sensor fix?

Hello again everyone! Has anyone else had an issue during calls with the proximity sensor? When I take the phone away frorm my ear the screen does not away come back on.. I have googled it wihtout much luck. Does anyone know any tips to use to recalibrate it on cm11 with a relay 4g? The only thing I found was this link [I can't post links, but google 'calibrate proximity sensor android legend' should be 1st result] but towards the end the *#0*# dialer code used to test it doesnt work so im not sure if the fix will work or not. Since I expect all of you to be using your Relay 4g's as a phone, you guys must have done something. What do you all suggest? Thank you all for your help!!

ok that ensures its the Rom and not hardware...ill lok into it a bit more but its an issue in hex coding within /system/lib/hw/ and was built with this issue from source....had this issue on my last device and was fixed

[Q] my phone dont wake up

Im using PA4.5 with franco kernel (i switched to this kernel because the standard kernel also had this problem
After a while i try to wake up the device with gestures (i always try with gestures first and then with the power button) it just dont turn on the display.
Adb and the home, back and option buttons are lighted up, the cpu is also pushed to different freqs, but the screen keeps empty. I need to force a restart and it boots normally.
I have turned on any gesture.
I couldnt find any to Opo related thread
Edit:
I have installed xposed app settings
Does it happen on other ROMs our only on PA?
Transmitted via Bacon
I didnt test, but isnt there anybody who has the same problem? I love this phone, and PA makes it more awesomer
Rather than waiting to see if someone has the same problem, you can do two things.
1) Search the PA thread to see if the same problem has been reported there.
2) Flash another ROM temporarily to see if the problem sill occurs. This will tell you if it's isolated to PA or not.
Transmitted via Bacon
So the phone does not turn on when your double tapping the screen or using power button?
It seems like you're having the sleep of death problem. Are you under volting by any chance?
Also, do you have capacitive buttons on? If so, do they light up when you double tap or press power?

I read something about sod, but i didnt understand what sod means ^^
No, no undervolting on a new phone with nearly unlimited speed
But the processor govenour is working i checked the current freq with adb and it seems its working. Only display does not turn on.
I also have sometimes no signal, but thats not related i think

Sleep of death is pretty much what you said. If you have your capacitive buttons on, there are cases where those buttons light up and the screen does not turn on.
Sleep of death is when your phone is still on but when you turn the screen on it doesn't turn on. I personally didn't have the problem but use the stock kernel for a half a hour. See if it still occurs, it's not rom related it's kernel related.

Thanks for the name of my issuse, it seems to be caused by xposed.
So it should not appear now, i will write in this thread if its reappeard. No logcat related to the issue is logged
The SOD does not happen often.

The phone does not react as not to enter the call
Friend I need help my problem is that since 9/16/2014 M10 CM11 can not update my phone because when you upgrade to the latest version of CM11 and now updating your rom CM12, everything works fine wifi, data, text messages, all but the only thing is that I if I can make calls perfectly, but if someone calls me, the phone does not react as not to enter the call, but to put it together on the phone that is calling me hear them (tic, tic, tic) as when you put it near a speaker, meaning that the call reaches the cell, but the cell does not react. I hope someone help me or help me since I can not upgrade my phone.

try putting a random micro sim card or a regular sim trimmed to fit micro sim in the sim slot, this works for the d2vzw and d2lte roms on the straight talk s3, we were having the same problem with these roms but a sim fixes data for us, maybe it will for you too, doesn't have to be a working or active sim just needs a sim in the slot to connect for some reason, hope this works for you

Hi Everyone,
I'm still on an old CM10.1 masta build from 7-30-2013 and I'd like to get back into things with these CM12 alpha builds. How should I go about this? I know I need to update my firmware/baseband (still on MF1) as well, but what should be my order?
Recovery - nandroid
Flash - Firmware/baseband
Reboot - to make sure all is well
Back to recovery
Wipe data/cache/factory reset
Flash - rom/gapps/SU
Done?
Then just dirty flash subsequent builds?
Thanks for your help, I've had solid performance from this old rom but looking forward to an update.

flash the ROM and Gapps THEN do your wipes, if you don't you might flash the ROM and when you reboot it might be buggy and you might think its the ROM when it might be something left behind from before so do your wipe so you don't run into that; always flash then wipe before reboot, sometimes you can skip that step and flash one over the other without wiping to fix issues in what you are flashing new but that's for experienced people to play around with and doesn't always work, anyway fkash rom and gapps then wipe and reboot

Ambient Display
So, this is in regards to the CM12 alphas, and since I don't have 10 posts yet, gotta post here.
Ambient Display was merged, which is pretty sweet, except it seems to randomly display for no reason. I don't have any notifications showing up, so why is it coming up? It can display several times in a minute, or go several minutes too, it seems pretty random. Only thing I can think of is it's picking up subtle vibrations and thinking I've picked it up?
no incoming calls
Anyone else having an issue with no incomming calls? Ive realised since a few months on cm11 i get no incomming calls unless its a private number.. I would love to use cm12 but theres the same issue. Seems to affect people using this phone outside the US like i am. I saw someone mention this in the main thread but im stuck posting here since im a new member :/
Yes my girlfriends phone after i installed cm11 on it. Never did figure it out.
Top and bottom mic swapped in skype and other such apps?!
First off my last no calls issue was solved with this file. i cant post links so maybe search d2gsm_rilblobs.zip
Ever since I've used CM on my S3 i noticed during my skype calls when i hold the phone to my ear the other person doesn't hear me well especially when there's allot of ambient noise!
I soon discovered that when using any app that records audio it uses the top mic only. but in regular phone calls through the network its normal using the bottom mic! Does anyone experience this? i mean it works fine and if u don't pay attention it may not bother you, but as an audio technician i notice these things! u can try if u have skype using the test call talk in the top and then bottom and you'll see the top is louder when its played back.
I went back to stock and the mic worked at the bottom as it should.. maybe there's a fix for this floating around? I have the Verizon S3 but if anyone notices this i would love to know its not just me!!
On masta's CM12 nightlies, I'm having an issue with data between flashes. When I dirty flash a nightly over the previous one, the phone refuses to connect to mobile data, even though everything is apparently fine. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes, it would not react to single touch. I would have to put my finger, release, and then put back for it to recognize. Now it's single touch like it was in the beginning.
Agreed. I received the update and the fingerprint sensor seems to be working better. The auto-brightness however.... WOW. it's terrible. Slow to react to changes in light, and dims far too much. They should add a way to control the dimming. Something like a percentage of the current profile they have e.g. maintain the max brightness, but if the coding would reduce brightness by 80%, then I would want to select a 50% setting, so the effective reduction in brightness would be only 40%. Trying to read my phone in a store or a restaurant is a royal pain. Who did the real-world testing of this functionality? Some cartoon character that has flashlights for eyeballs?
Anyone having issues sending or receiving MMS after the new update. I can reset my device and is okay for about an hour and then stops sending or receiving MMS messages. I have not wiped with this new update and that is my next step, just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this by chance.

Well the update broke the floating bar mod that I had. No longer does the screen record, screenshot edit etc. Only has quick contacts. Anyone else?
I used to be able to video chat with my friend with a S9 phone, after the update , today she tried to video chat with me and she couldn't, I noticed the native Video chat icon is no longer on the contact , it now has the Duo Call instead. Ugh..
Update? My phone still says it's on the April 1st update.
Placebo effect for Fp sensor. Back to having to double touch before its recognized. ?
Anybody on the April 1st security software having 5g connectivity issues? I have been having issues for over a month and a half. Got them to send a new phone after factory reset and new sim didn't work. Got the new phone today and everything was working great until it updated to the April 1st security patch. It hasn't updated to the latest update yet, but I had that update on my previous device and the issue was persistent still even after. So something on that specific software is screwing up my 5G to where I can't use my phone unless I'm on Wi-Fi.

That's pretty much where I'm at. I'm having to run with no 5g. They sent me a new phone again, and when it arrives I'm going to try to avoid the update for as long as possible.

POCO X3 NFC proximity sensor issue. During calls, screen does not light when the phone away from my ear.

Tested via Xiaomi built-in QC, Look at mark 0:15, the number stays 0 after I removed my hand from the sensor.
Another user on reddit is facing similar issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoX3/comments/m43121
There are a lot of people who are facing this issue with the Poco NFC. There are usually 3 problems and you need to try all of them.
1: Hardware issue : Cannot be fixed in software and requires device replacement in warranty.
2: Screen Guard that's dirty or too large covering the sensor area.
3: A bug in the software that can be fixed with a factory reset.
The proximity sensor is located on the top left of the camera punch hole near the LED light. So make sure nothing is clogged in that area or the screen guard is not scratched or covering that area. You will be able to see the sensor if it's working if you make a call and point another camera at it and notice a blinking light. I'm hoping it's just dirt or debris and that you don't have to get a device replacement.
Me having exactly same issue. Screen doesn't turn off during calls when I put my face near or touch the sensor.
****ty thing else
The problem is the new miui update 12.0.8.0, the new firmware/vendor is somehow broken (indeed if you go on custom ROM the bug will still be there), to fix it i went back to MIUI 12.0.7.0 via fastboot (just to assure being clean, i don't know if the problem is in vendor or firmware)
edit: i did some tests and miui is 100% safe till 12.0.7.0, the only one broken is 12.0.8.0 so if you are having problems flash via fastboot the previous one and stay with it or go to custom rom (with 12.0.7.0 or older firmware/vendor)

The problem is the new miui update 12.0.8.0, the new firmware/vendor is somehow broken (indeed if you go on custom ROM the bug will still be there), to fix it i went back to MIUI 12.0.7.0 via fastboot (just to assure being clean, i don't know if the problem is in vendor or firmware)

Good to know, but I'll wait for the next update and hopefully they will fix it.

Okay I don't understand this new XDA reply thing... But if you guys figure out the particular trigger in the MIUI software please let me know.
What is this new complex reply system?
I can't even cancel it. Even if I clear data of the browser and log in it brings me back to this complex stacked reply system. Can anyone explain?
Anyone managed to find a solution?

RMA your device.
You have a faulty sensor.

Nope, it's software issue. Many Xiaomi phone have the same problem.
Alright you seem to be confident your problem is a "software" problem even though all the software remedies suggested to you haven't worked. Mind you, these remedies are coming from people who have the same phone as you and are on the same firmware as you.
In fact regardless of your region, since the date you posted, there have been two more system updates and your problem still isn't solved.
RMA your device or flash custom ROM.
If not you can still continue to believe it's a software problem till your warranty expires.

why should it be an hardware issue when it's clear that the bug came with a software update? so we all have a faulty proximity sensor? it's full of people having this problem... we just downgraded to 12.0.7.0 firmware and all it's solved, custom rom it's not the solution, downgrading the firmware is... then you can do what you want (installing a custom rom too)

Yes, I'm CONFIDENT to say it is a "software" problem.
You obviously didn't even follow this thread.

Well said.
There is a new update available, 12.0.8.0 Android 11 seems to fix the proximity sensor problem.

Yes it does, but android 11 seems to be pretty buggy/laggy at the moment...
Had this problem but for me it was the screen protector messing with the sensors i had a better one and its solved
