Hi guys! I have a problem with the proximity sensor: when i put the telephone near my hear ( when i make a phone call or for WhatsApp audios) the screen doesnt turn off. I've already tried the test (hardware test or proximity sensor): It doesnt show any functional signal and the needle doesnt swing. I'm Pretty sure the telephone didnt get hit, so i cant understand why this is happening. Is There anyone with the same problem? Do you have any suggestion?
I have the exact same problem, so if anyone can help, pls do so.
thanks,

I looked into the build.prop, there is nothing in there about sensors.
I want to disable the sensor, does someone know wich file i need to Edit, only found the sensorservice.so till now
I would like to enable mine!
It suddenly got disabled and I have no idea how, so I'm not sure whats wrong. It just stopped working =(
Wow, im trying that for a long time, do you have any problems with incoming and outgoing calls since the proximity sensor is off?
You could try this solution:

Hi. I have noticed some problems with proximity sensor on my sensation. When I make phonecall my screen wont shut down at all, i have tried vipers jb and albinos and then android1234567 4.3 so I think problem is with hw, anyone what I should do?
I have the same issue with the roms u mentionned, and in my case dunno if it's HW related because with skype and viber the proximity sensor works fine!
This helped me....sensors seem to work again
Hi,
i also (and a lot of people in fact) have the dreaded proximity and lightsensor problem. And indeed there seems to be no solution... People have been reseting and reflashing the Sensation till it drove them mad, without the problem solved... The problem seem to start when the Sensation was upgraded to ICS, and seems software related...
In my quest to solve the problem I stumbled upon a solution on the htcsensationforum.... and gues what, it seems to work for me, that is, the sensors work more often now.
I quote the solution, since i cannot paste the link;
Hi Tim.
I had the same problem. Phone is now fine after 24 hrs. Here's what I changed:
1. Turned off 'Pocket Mode'. Settings -> Sound -> Pocket Mode. No obvious change by itself
2. Turned off 'Fas tboot'. Settings -> Power -> Fast boot.
3. Turned off, removed battery, waited 30 secs and powered back on.
Simple as that! The proximity sensor was glowing occassionally after the upgrade, and that has gone away too. On the bonus front my battery life has never been so good (using about 60% of what it used to)!!!
Cheers.

Don't know how long this solution will hold, but it seems that the pocket mode and / or quickboot option are causing the problems... What i use to check the sensors behavior is the free app android sensor box, found in the playstore.
Maybe one of the devs here can take a look at this solution, and can come up with a permanent solution to have the proximity and lightsensor working normal again...:good:
Just my 2 pence on an old pain in the *ss problem, thanks go to Maestro @ htcsensationforum for his solution...

Hi guys, I have a issue with proximity sensor, it happend from 4.4.2 and now i'm in 4.4.4 and still facing with it.
At the first time I think that is my app problem, so I don't care at all. But today, I found it (maybe to late) happend with all thing include call and the test in hidden menu.
This is the way how I made it:
1. cover the proximity sensor
2. start the call
-> screen go off
3. un-cover the proximity sensor
-> screen not turn on even the call ended. All thing you can do is press Power button twice
If this only happend with call, ok, I can accept it like a feature.
But when I try reproduce the issue in *#*#7378423#*#* - Service tests - Proximity Swich test, the result show that the proximity sensor cannotchange state and always "Detected".
So idk the problem is my phone or sony firmware, anyone can confirm that? I did some searching but can't find anything.
Thank you.
i think the problem is in proximity sensor because as u say it happend in 4.4.2 and 4.4.4, and i've use both firmware and i dont face any problem like that, and u can check if u have ur screen guard on ur proximity sensor, because it happens with me once i put my screen guard on proximity sensor thinking nothing will be wrong because screen guard is transparent but that my proximity sensor becomes like what u say, always detect, check it
It's not the problem of sensor, this problem is in firmware. I am facing the same problem and my frd too.

i never face this problem,
which kernel you are using, i am using vinays nitrogen kernel, does this problem occur on stock ?
Hi.
I have this wierd bug. When i call someone. Screen automatically goes off and wont come on until call is finished.
I know this isnt due to proximity. Even when the sensor is not covered up.
I am on stock mm rooted.
..
Does this mean my sensor isn't working or software issue?

Most likely your sensor is bad and always reporting NEAR, the symptoms you are describing are exactly what would happen in this condition... have you tried a sensor test app from the Play Store to see what the proximity sensor is doing?
Finally worked!!!! had to calibrate sensor
Well thanks i tested the sensor it was always showing 1cm reading.
Calibrated it using an app on playstore. >> Proximity Sensor Calibration <<
Now working fine.
Cheers!! :good::good:
Everytime i call someone and end hte call , the phone would have went deep inside either into some setting or app , because of the touch of my ear , due to proximity sensor not working properly. I removed the screen guard and still the same issue.
I used the proximity sensor fix app as suggested in one of the threads here , still nothing.. Its really making me soo annoyed.
Can someone please help me. I am using Havoc 4.19 Version.
