My proximity sensor has stopped working. It was intermittent but now has stopped working completely. I flash back to stock and removed the screen protector but no luck
My proximity sensor always show 0.0cm and the screen is always black when I make a call.
I have tested 2 different ICS stock roms (XXLQ9 and ZCLPD) (flashed with odin), and about 5 different custum rom (CM10.1,Rootbox ...). I did 3 wipe between every rom and nothing works. When this problem started my screen start to "leak light" and every pixel became "bigger", now the screen is good again but the proximity sensor still doesn't work. Now I wonder if it's a hardwear problem and if it's possible to diasable proximity sensor during calls in CM10.1.
Are you using a screen guard? If you don't mind then try if removing the screen guard solves your problem.. That way you'll know if the sensor is dysfunctional or something else..

Hi, my screen just crackes and now the proximity sensor is broken.
I need to disable it so i can make calls again, because the screen is going off during the whole call
This was just posted in another subforum. I haven't tried it but it looks interesting.

After a few days searching and trying every single app on the internet, i came to the conclusion that the only thing that worked on the 5.1.1 to turn off the proximity sensor was installing xposed framework and then installing the xposed proximity sensor disabler.
Hello there!
I have the problem since I put matte screen protector on my phone. Everytime I call/answering call screen goes black. Maybe it needs calibrating proximity sensor or something like, but I don't know how.
I would be very grateful if you could suggest me some way to fix this problem.
Thanks
Some screen protectors just mess with the proximity sensor, remove them and verify the sensors operation... If it fixes the problem, contact the manufacturer/retailer and request a refund, a screen protector designed for the device should not interfere with any sensor's operations.
There is no way to calibrate the sensor I am aware of.
Sensors Test app by Ettore Zaffaroni is a handy tool to check proximity sensor and others. It detects 3 levels of proximity, less than 1 cm, between 1 and 3 cm, beyond 3 cm on Moto G 3th. The proximity sensor on this model is right between the ear speaker and the front facing camera.
Thank you both for the answer.
The protector I'm using currently is custom cut (cause there was no other option for my phone in my region). It covers sensor and hence the problem comes. When putting on I didn't think there would form this kind of obstacle. The Clear one that I had purchased from amazon and used before was cut nicely and didn't cover sensor.
Lately I was searching some tools for calibrating and came up with an app named Proximity sensor restore/repair by Mobile Direction. As it says it only repairs the software problem not hardware. I gave it a try and for now sensor works. Though, I don't know if it will be permanent solution.
Alternative is to cut there too where proximity sensor is located, cause I don't want to remove the protector yet.
Oh no ! here it comes again! I had a long standing issue on Moto G Osprey with screen going blank when making or receiving a call . WIth AospExtended ROM 26/09 version it was resolved . In mean time I spent 1 year tried to resolve teh issue by installing stock motoroal firmwayre, proximity sensor disabling via exposed module, proximity sensor caliberation etc and nothing worked . But with 26/09 build thsi was resolved and my screen was working on 90% of calls and on 10 % dialler or call accepting option was not apearing but status bar was visible where on Andropid Nougat roms and Marshmellow Roms it was 90% of calls were made received with blank screen and then rubbing over sensor to wake up screen .
After the Alpha build 30/09 this has came back again . I have checked again on 26/09 build and issue is not there . Can anyone suggest why I am having this issue with new build or what changes been made into new build which can cause this issue ? I understand only few people have this issue and even on Lenovo forums there is no solution to it

My proximity sensor is not working while i am in a call. The screen remains black even after i take the phone one my ear. The sensor was perfectly working before one ui 2.1 update. Since i updated proximity sensor is not working anymore. I have already performed a factory reset but still no luck:crying:. Is anyone facing the same issue? If so what is the solution. Please advice.
