Whenever i touch or take anything near to the proximity sensor, the screen turns off same like during call... Is there any app for setting of the sensor? Or any other suggestion?
I'm using slimkat 4.4.2 v2.3... I don't have any air gesture app.

I'm noticing that when the screen is off and I tap toward the top of the screen the phone screen turns on. I just noticed it today but it happens every time I tap the top of the screen. Also when the screen is on and I hover my finger toward the top part it selects buttons on the screen as if the sensitivity is high up there. Thinking of returning the phone for a new one but wanted to know if others had this problem.

It could be a problem with your sensors I'd call Samsung or take it back to sprint

I would boot in safe mode and confirm it's not a third party app before taking it back. Also poke through all the settings to be sure motion and accessibility features are off. Safe mode instructions for the s3 or s4 worked for me. I forget how to do it but Google is how I found it

Thanks for the help, I figured out it was an app causing it after all

what app was it?
Hello guys, i newly bought a flip cover for my nexus 5 and i thought that i can add a small magnet to it so that it becomes a smart cover. BUT i noticed that the magnet is NOT turning the screen ON or OFF. Could it be because i am on a custom ROM or that the magnet sensor (near the front camera) is not working as it should.
Appreciate your feedback on this issue.
The sensor is on the edge of the screen near the vol up

N5 has a magnetic sensor?
I wonder why the Spigen Slim Armor View didn't use it... it uses proximity which causes tons of issues and battery drain.
Hi guys, any app that you know which works on our z1 that allows you to unlock the screen by double tapping it? Right now I'm using tap tap app which unlocks your screen by "double tapping" on the proximity sensor instead.
This will be a lot of help for preserving the life span of our power buttons.
Oh by the way, my device is not rooted. I'm sure a lot of the guys out there will appreciate this.
Thanks in advance!

Try Gravity Screen in the market. It works great with some tweaking for sure. Battery gets hit some but not noticeable, like 3-7% extra drainage but it works amazingly. Let me know what you think? I will share my settings
I've been using gravity screen since I had my phone, but can't use it while driving, since I'm using a suction cup on my wind shield and it's better to just tap.

Gravity screen seems install itself as a system app = =""
knockr is not real lock screen
just jump from locked to a state that is in that app, the screen is not really off
Hmmmm that explains knockr's excessive battery drain, thanks mate

There is a setting "turn screen on by proximity" for ur situation. All you have to do is tap the proximity sensor to wake the screen. It works for me really well.
