Hi there good day
I have a XZ with Oreo 8.0 and I have problems with the proximity sensor. It stays at ON state, but with value 0.
Just pressing with the finger in the right top of the phone, works fine to its value of 5.
Is rooted, tried Xposed but Xposed framework gave me trouble to install, with looping when resetting. I tried hardware disabler but can´t find the driver. I tried other severall apps but nothing work.
Any help on this? maybe change calibration value from ADB o Terminal app.
Thank you in advance.

Hi I have a MTK6577 based Jiayu G3 (original version) which has developed a problem recently whereby the proximity sensor seems to have lost it's calibration settings. When in a call the screen will turn off when the phone is against my ear but then won't turn on again when I take the phone away again. I've cleaned the lens over the proximity sensor but this makes no difference. This is confirmed by using the Android app 'Proximity Sensor' which acknowledges when the sensor is covered but then does not change when uncovered.
I can calibrate it successfully in MobileUncleTools by going to 'Engineer Mode -> Engineer Mode (MTK) -> PSensor' and perform the calibration procedure. The proximity sensor will then work as expected until a reboot after which it is back to the same problem again. So I have to perform this recalibration after every reboot.
So what I would like to know, Firstly, is if anybody knows why the calibration in MobileUncleTools is not saved and does anybody know where the calibration settings should be saved to so that I can manually alter the settings. I have looked through all the system config files and I cannot find anything relevant.
Secondly, does anyone know of any other method of calibrating the sensor that would survive a reboot. I've tried various proximity sensor calibration app on the Play store but they all seem to be dedicated to a particular phone (HTC, ZTE etc) and don't work on mine.
Thanks for any help

Has no-one got any ideas about this then.

Same problem here, tried different roms without sorting it out.
Have you already tried to go back to stock 4.0.4?

Yes, I've restored the Nandroid backup from when I first got the phone and it still is not calibrated.
There must be some way to save the calibration but I have no idea how. I've reported this problem on the official Jiayu Facebook page, I have emailed Jiayu direct and not had any response to either message. I have tried emailing the developer of MobileUncleTools as to why the calibration is not saved but, again, got no response.
So I really don't know what to do now.

GOOD NEWS!
I've just flashed a new ROM, 4.2.2, ( vredniiy stable v1) and the proximity sensor issue has been solved!
ROM also fixes GPS issues.
Good work vredniiy !!
cheers

What vredniiy did in the 4.2.2, is add a init.d file contains
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 900 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/als_ps/psthd
This is the Proximity Calibration trig.
vredniiy's stable v3 ROM is good and stable enough, thought.
please help- when i try to install this new rom, my systems keeps saying installation aborted. what am i doing wrong...i have a jiayu g3

Well, I guess this is not an isolated issue. Here's what I did after doing a Factory Reset on the phone:
1. Go to Settings
2. Click on Display
3. Make sure that your phone is on a flat surface, and then click on Als_ps calibration and proceed to placing an object over the phone.
(I used a folded sheet of paper and placed it over the phone and pressed the calibrate button. Once it was done, I got the completion message.)
After doing this, I was able to place and receive calls without the screen blacking out. Even when it did, I was able to wake up the phone's screen by pressing the power button.
Hope that helps.
Hy Guys!
I have a problem with my vodafone smart 2 phone. My device is running CM7-B2. The gyrosensor just stops working at random time and doesn't work again until I install the original ROM (and then I install CyanogenMod again). After that my phone works perfectly sometimes for month but now for some hours and without any sign the screen doesn't rotate again. Nothing else breaks only the gyrosensor.
Do you have any idea what may be the problem?
Thank for your help!!
If the sensor works fine on Stock firmware then the CM Kernel is lacking correct drivers. You may want to contact the developer of the Rom or post in that thread. You could also try another Rom such a Albert96 Rom
You can Try Protractor or Bubble Level app to calibrate the Sensor. If either app has a limited success, you may have a hardware issue.
As my colleague suggested, you may also try *#0*# on your dialer and then use the Sensor test to see if everything is operating correctly.
hi i have a rooted MOTO G which has a broken screen replaced and the proximity sensor is on 3 and the screen goes black when calling so cannot use keypad for options etc. Have looked at the HTC Desire hread and tried the line of code but it did not work. can anyone help as i like the phone but this issue is making it virtually unusable as a phone

Proximity sensor issue
I am also facing the same issue .Moto g goes blank when making a call , is there a way without rooting my device
I have a common problem in all ROMs I'm installing . whenever I answer a call or dial a call my screen goes off as if proximity sensor is activated and doesn't turn on even when I take it away from my ear or press my power button. Screen doesn't turn on at all during call.
Phone remains fine for a day or two after I wipe cache etc from recovery but again the problem starts. This happens in all custom roms and also in rooted stock ROM. My device is XT 1055.
Kindly suggest any solution as it causes lot of inconvenience.

Your device is a Moto X (1st generation/2013 )? A quick Google search would tell you this is a Proximity Sensor issue, it is device specific whether anything can be done or not, so you might want to check your device's group.

No bro. Mine is a moto g3 xt1550. Searched the forum later yday and found that it is calibrating proximity sensor issue. Will try doing that and check. Thank you for the response

Sorry, you must have typo'd earlier, you clearly said XT1055 which is a valid Moto device. Anyway, sounds like you're on the right track.

I too did proximity sensor calibration but it worked only for few times. But the only solution that's working is whenever screen goes blank I rub with my finger on proximity sensor area for 3-4 times as if like cleaning it. Immediately the screen lights up. This is the solution am doing since past few times and its working consistently.

Can we disable the proximity sensor ???

Yes u can disable the proximity sensor.....
Procedure:
1. The device need to be rooted
2. Install the xposed module
3. After installing search for sensor Disabler apk in xposed module
4. Install sensor Disabler and open the app and select the proximity sensor.
5. Select the value of proximity sensor to Maximum level and save it
6. Do the reboot
This whole procedure will disable ur proximity sensor ie ur screen will no go blank on any call.
Note : Xposed installer for nougat ROM is in development phase ...
Do it ur own risk I'm not responsible for any harm.
All the best :good::laugh:

To my knowledge it is not there... U can Google it bro
As I'm also facing this problem...
Some info about xposed....
Xposed is not compatible with Nougat, the truth is it may never be a viable option again due to security changes in Android. The developers have said that Xposed is on it's last legs, the changes in Android and the security are becoming impossible to work around. Remember last year at this time, the developers of Xposed had mostly given up and thrown in the towel and said Xposed was dead with Marshmallow, but they got lucky and found a work around just before completely giving up. They have not as yet found such a exploit to make it work, and if they do it will only be temporary as the next version of Android will probably close it again. They may get it to work with Nougat, or maybe not, either way best bet is to learn to live without it, because it will be gone before too long.

hi buddy i have a solution for this hope this will be helpful............
i have flashed the cm 12.1 yesterday on my moto g3 and since yesterday i didn't faced the problem of screen going off on call .....
this conclude that rom is somewhere responsible for screen off during call on some phones( my opinion )
you can try this if u want:fingers-crossed:
This will help you mate
github.com/Alberto97/proprietary_vendor_motorola/blob/cm-14.1/osprey/proprietary/lib/hw/sensors.msm8916.so?raw=true
Paste this in system>lib>hw>

I've just replaced the screen on my friends S5 Pro and currently don't have a working FP sensor. I've double checked and the sensor is seated correctly and there is nothing obscuring its little window on the screen.
I want to recalibrate the sensor, but cannot find a way to do this. All of the useful dialer hidden codes are disabled. It might be that doing a factory reset or re-flashing the full firmware would trigger the sensor to calibrate itself, however my friend spent days getting everything just how he likes things and says he'd rather live without the sensor than have to set everything up again and doesn't trust non-root backup solutions to work properly. He doesn't want to unlock his bootloader, so rooting is out of the question.
Does anyone know of any way to get into some kind of engineering mode on this phone to be able to force a fingerprint sensor calibration?

The fingerprint sensor went completely over the cuckoo's nest in my Umidigi S5 Pro for no apparent reason, now I can't use it at all. Any ideas?
Same thing happened to me shortly after an OTA update if I remember correctly... any luck with a fix thus far?
