Hello everyone,
I've been having quite an interesting issue on my NS4G. I'm currently running the latest available CM7 nightlies/gapps, as well with Pete Alfonso's kernel. The underlying system in the phone (radio/etc) is all running the current latest available from Sprint as well.
Now the issue in question, I've been having an issue that seems to be occurring more and more frequently on my phone. Now because I am already running a custom ROM and not just stock, this makes me unsure if the issue is coming from the software, or if there is an actual hardware issue with my phone.
Occasionally (I would say as infrequently as once every 2 days or so) when I unlock my phone with the power button, for a split second after the CRT animation I see my phones screen as all green (with a hint of purple), almost the color you associate artifacting with. Now I am not overclocked, but I am running this custom kernel. But the thing is, I'm not 100% on this, but If I remember correctly I do remember seeing this issue on other kernels as well before (I've been running Pete's for some time now).
I also occasionally experience issues with lets say finishing up a phone call, and my phone may lock up with that green screen w/ purple, and then CM7 will automatically reboot the phone for me. I've also experienced my phone rebooting into "Safe Mode".
Essentially what I am wondering is if anyone can shed some light, are these just software bugs that I am running into that other users are experiencing as well, or is this an issue with my phone?
Thanks everyone!

go to the main settings, cyanogenmod settings, display.. turn on the screen off animation. then go back to cyanogenmod settings, lockscreen, delay and timeout, turn both screen timeout delay and screen turned off delay to immediately. that should fix the green screen.
Hi guys,
Got my Nexus S about a week ago and love it. I'm running Brainmaster's MIUI with Franco's Kernel.
The issue I'm having and have had since I was on stock kernel as well is that when I press the power button to go to the lockscreen if the phone was in standby sometimes the lockscreen responds straight away, sometimes it is unresponsive for a second and sometimes for several seconds. I've also had an issue once where a call came in and I couldn't answer, I had to turn the screen on and then off before I could answer the call. Btw I'm also running with min set to 400mhz.
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone know if it is a known MIUI issue or if there's something I can do to make it work like normal?
Thanks.
Hey all,
I'm very seasoned with Android, and I LOVE the OnePlus One so far, but there is one issue that is driving me MAD.
Whenever I am on a call, and I lift the phone away from my ear, the notification shade triggers and gets stuck at the top of the screen... No matter where I touch, it snaps to that location. For example; if I am in a call, and I want to add another user to the call, I press the +Call button at the bottom of the screen, but it never triggers, it snaps the notification shade down, and I have to drag it back up before I can use the phone functions. This doesn't happen all the time, but it happened a lot to me today.
My girlfriend was kind enough to help me with a screenshot (she just quietly stayed on the line )
Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix at all? I'm still 100% lock and stock if that matters. I also posted this on the OnePlus One support forums, so if I hear back there first, I will post the solution.
I had the same problem too. Seems like this happens because your ear touches the display, the top part which when touch gives you a peek at the notification showing the date and time, before the proximity sensor can detect.
The solution I found is to get the phone close to your face at an / angle, the top first and then the bottom.
I had the same issue with my HD2 running cyanogen, which has the same feature to peek notification.
Thanks @Sir Awesome!
I'll give this a try later... Sounds a lot like "You're holding it wrong" to me... It's okay that it gives the peek, but it just stays there.
Hello!
My oneplus one is having this issue for a while now, When I plug it in and lock the device, there is a 60~70% chance that the display stays on but its just blank, I have to unlock it and lock it again to fix it.
Recently this also started happening when it was not charging and the screen would often stay on causing massive battery drain :/
This happens on every single rom all the way from CM11S up to CM13 and also oxygen os,...
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks,
Noahvt
I have the same problem since I can remember, also looking for an answer.
I have a similar issue. Sometimes the screen stays on, but is dimmed. A simple double press of the power button resolves it (turn on full, turn off screen) but its mildly irritating. I have only noticed it since being on sultanxdas cm12 ROM. I had an issue with a notification LED app not working since a recent ROM update so uninstalled it. Maybe the issue was related to that app as I cant remember the issue occurring since I uninstalled it a few days ago.
So, I have stumbled across this weird issue since January wherein if the proximity sensor is covered during an incoming call, the screen will remain off. What's weird is that this only happens on CM based ROMs and not on AOSP based ROMs. Of course, all full wipes and clean flashes. I have also tried flashing all the Marshmallow compatible modems available but none solved my issue. I'm using TWRP 2.8.6.0 to flash the zips.
CM based ROMs that I have tried so far;
1. Resurrection Remix M
2. Bliss ROM (both official and unofficial)
3. Marsh CM13
The older builds (December and early January) did not have this problem but of late, every CM based ROM activates the proximity sensor for an incoming call. The reason I'm posting this here is because no one else seems to have this problem and it's not specific to any one ROM.
On AOSP ROMs, everything works fine (no matter what modem I use). I have tried Darkobas ROM and I'm currently on CandySix where I don't have any issues with the proximity sensor.
Any idea why this could be happening? I miss all the customization on CM ROMs and I'm not a huge fan of Layers, so help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
This is the exact bug description:
1. when on a call, cover the proximity sensor >> screen turns off
2. while covering the sensor doubletap the screen (this is the reason for this issue!)
3. uncover the sensor >> screen stays off
The problem is that the doubletap is registered as a power button press and therefore the screen stays off.
It only happens if you accidentally touch the screen with your face, which is likely to occur on a phonecall.
I've already mentioned this in a commit and they said they know about this issue.
The needed commit needs to be ported from cm12.1.
So I guess we can only wait...
Thanks for your response, mate. But CM seems to have fixed this issue because I just flashed the 02/03 CM13 nightly and the proximity sensor works just as it should during an incoming call; no issues there.
I'm going to try flashing another ROM on top of this.

I just went through your post again and it seems that you misunderstood my issue.
Apart from the issue that you mentioned, the proximity sensor is turning off the screen even before I have answered an incoming call. So, for example, I get a call when the phone is in my pocket. When I take it out, it takes a while for the screen to turn on which is frustrating. If I don't answer the call, the screen should remain on for as long as the phone rings, irrespective of whether the proximity sensor is covered or not. But, in my case, if the proximity sensor is covered when the phone is ringing, the screen turns off. Am I being clear now?
So, after a few intense sessions of flashing different ROMs, it seems that the official CM13 nightly and CandySix are the only ROMs where the proximity sensor is not broken for incoming calls. I guess I'll be sticking with CandySix for the foreseeable future.
But I'd really appreciate if someone can identify why this is happening with all other ROMs and not with official CM13 and CandySix.

actually i think u messed up a bit mate dont mention calling ! something like screen OFF when i recieve a call from someone even when not answered or something like this ! and now getting back to your query i flash RR and CM13 by jgcaap right now just for checking ur issue and i dont have this i kept the phone on the table , called from my other phone and covered the proximity sensor with my hand ! screen was still ON .. and i should mention my RR build is a bit old ! i have been using jgcaap cm 13 from many days ! so
Well, there was only so much I could put in the title. I think my OP explains the issue clearly.
Also, can you try the latest version of RR or Bliss ROM? Because as I said, I wasn't having this issue on the older builds. I also don't have this issue on the official CM13 nightly or CandySix. I just want to find out what's causing this issue on my phone with other ROMs.
@girishb
Ok I see. The way you put it, I thought cm based roms includes stock cm13.
Regardless. The commit which fixed the proximity sensor with screen off has been merged on 02/20.
When did the other cm based roms get their last update?

Im on RR 24 and i can still see this issue. Lets see wht RR Mod comments on that.
Uh, I'm pretty sure that's a different issue. What you guys are facing is basically the screen getting locked when a call is going on, which should not happen. This issue is consistent across all ROMs that I have tried, even AOSP ones. So I don't think that's a CM issue.
My original issue is slightly different. During an incoming call, the screen should remain on for as long as the phone rings, right? If I choose to answer the call, that's when the proximity sensor should kick in and turn off the screen as I move the phone to my ear. However, in my case, if the proximity sensor is covered during an incoming call, it keeps the screen off so I can't see who's calling unless the sensor is uncovered. This should not happen. I hope this explains the issue properly.

What firmware are you on? Most proximity sensor issues are due to incompatible/old firmware.

I have tried all modems from this topic (other than the h2os and oxygen one). I have also tried clean flashing the latest CM13 nightly before clean flashing any ROM. I also tried dirty flashing a ROM over the CM13 nightly with no luck. I used TWRP 2.8.6.0 for all of this.
What I can't seem to figure out is why I don't have these issues on the official CM13 nightly build or on CandySix ROM. All other ROMs that I have tried have this issue. If it's a firmware related issue, then shouldn't I be having this problem on all ROMs?
Any solution for this problem coz its really annoying.
I'm having the exact same problem with my phone running CyanogenOS 13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon. The screen doesn't turn on automatically if the proximity sensor is blocked in the beginning of the incoming call or alarm.
If someone finds a solution, please reply to my post
