**Standard Disclaimer applies here: If you screw up your device trying the following steps in this thread, I cant be responsible. But thats old news**
If your phone stays black after a call you can fix it by a couple of ways.
First:
Code:
[B]Q[/B]:Where is the proximity sensor?
[B]A[/B]:Top left of the screen in opposite place to led, if you tily screen under the light you should see the sensor reflect back at you.
Install this app and test your proximity sensor to be sure, that it is not broken: Proximity Sensor Finder
Options you need to try first.
The screen protector, yes it might be transparent but the sensor detects it. Using a sensor testing app from the market it suggested the sensor was covered almost all the time.
So the solution was replace the protector with new one but cut an arc at the top just big enough around the sensor at the top left, easy fix now in call screen is more responsive.
With a vacuum cleaner vacuum over the top area of the phone. This must suck all the dust out of there.
<-------------------------------------->
1 of the other option would be an app called Anyunlock which seems to have solved the problem for me. It seems to be able to wake up when the screen turns off after a call. The app allows you to unlock with the volume key and replaces the lock screen with its own screen.
This option works on my Desire S
<-------------------------------------->
If it's broken, you'll see 0.0 cm all the time.
Solution to disable proximity sensor incall is to put this line into build.prop and reboot:
you can edit the build.prop by pulling it first from the device by doing:
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\
open with wordpad and add the following line
Code:
gsm.proximity.enable=false
Then
Code:
adb remount
adb push c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\build.prop /system/
reboot so that the settings take effect
This option works on my Desire S
Credits
For disabling the proximity sensor in call go to Matri}{
Rest of the credits go to all the people that figured the other stuff out. (to many post on the net so I don't know who made them but thanks)
Thanks to myself for making this tutorial. (It's my first on xda)
If you have any other idea's just pm me or drop a post.
Thanks

Thanks for the guide, it seems that there are quite some people affected by this and I find it much useful. Just a suggestion - IMO more proper place for it will be the General section, so you can request moving it there from the moderators and also adding it to the Index thread (PM ben_pyett)

Hey,
I just tried your fix but it didn't work for me. Screen still goes black when receiving a call and only reacts when I plug it in through USB. Could it be because my ROM is ICS?
Also tried removing the screen cover & sucking out the dust on the top.
The Anyunlock app works, but that's not ideal of course.
Yes it could be that it's Rom related. I use Endymion. And matri}{ extracted it from the Rom.
Wich Rom do you use. I can take a look for you tonight when I get home.
The anylock works most off as between solution.

Hey,
I tried it on MIUI ICS, Endymion which both failed. Now I'm using the Reaper ROM but it still doesn't work.
It should work on Endymion. I used it and I even checked if it's the same proximity line in de file of update 3.5.
Did you changed it on the phone or with a text editor on the computer?
I tested it on Endymion just 5 min ago and it worked.
Does your screen still stays black after hanging up? If so can you only unlock with USB cable or power cable?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
Hm, you're right, it does work on Endymion (sorry). I'm having some stability problems with that ROM though...
Do you know how to enable it on MIUI or Reaper (CM based)?
I'm going to check for you tomorrow ok. I'll get back to you.
I just discovered that there is a setting in the MIUI dialer to disable the proximity sensor! This also works, sorry for taking up your time.
But maybe a new suggestion for people who don't want to edit the build file ? Try MIUI!

Well, if you install a MIUI-based ROM (check the android development forum here), you can just go to your dialer settings and select the option.

I have a Chinese ZTE V955 phone.
This model appears in the list of the Google approved phones and seems to work extremely well.
The Android version is 4.0.4. Kernel version 3.0.21 –perf.
For some reason there are no Google apps on this telephone, which is extremely frustrating.
Also there is no way to add a Google user to “Accounts and sync”.
I understood there is a way of adding the Google Play store after rooting the phone.
After a lot of searching and trying, I have been able to root this telephone in an instant with ICS Root Unlocker 1.0.
I have Superuser and Total Commander can write to protected files.
I found a GoogleLoginService apk and a GoogleServicesFramework apk, which I installed.
After that I was able to add a Google account in accounts and Sync.
I was also able to install Google Talk and I can log in.
Then I installed several versions of the Google Play apk.
The application starts, loads some 48k data and the stops with the message “Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped”. Behind that message there is another message that probably asks for the user to accept or decline the Google conditions, but I cannot click because of the first message on top.
Some sites suggest to copy the vendor.apk to the system/app directory and install it after changing that file’s permissions. I did not try that because I’m a little scared of upsetting this directory.
Can anyone help me further ?
Can I flash the Gapps package without flashing a new Rom I don't seem to find one for this phone) ?
Do I need to edit the etc/hosts file ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there, i am planning to get this phone as spare. Is it recommended?
Hy! Have you guys solved rooting and gapps problems? Did you had any other problems? I don't wanna throw 80 bucks out the window. Thanks!
Hello, I recently updated my rooted TF700 to 4.2.1 via OTA and kept Root using OTA Root Keeper, which I've done since ICS. Anyway I noticed that my Bluetooth will not turn on anymore. I'm afraid if I do a hard reset I will lose root and won't be able to reroot without unlocking the bootloader. Anyway does any one know if there is a solution to this problem? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any help you can give me.
I've read somewhere else that there is a permission problem that prevents BT from working - not here though, it works fine for me. Search for "bluetooth" and "permissions".
Thank you very much. I found the problem was a system file that didn't have the proper permissions for some reason. I was able to change it, and it's working fine now. For anyone else having the same problem, go to: system/vendor/lib and change the permissions on libbt-vendor.so to rw-r-r.

Interesting, my file has the correct permissions and I didn't have to change it manually.

I'm seeing this too, but can't change the permissions. Root Explorer is crashing on the permissions change, and another (Root File Manager) never commits the change. I used OTA rootkeeper post upgrade and all seemed well, but BT still won't turn on. Any other suggestions?
---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------
Got it! I did a cold boot and that (for some reason) corrected the issue with root browser. It successfully changed the permissions. I did another cold boot for good measure and the trusty BT icon showed up after that. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
For anyone else's reference, or for those having issues with Root Explorer, I did this from the command-line:
Code:
adb shell
su -
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
chmod 644 /system/vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so
The Bluetooth is turning on fine now. Thanks so much for this tip!
I found my way to this post again because my WiFi won't turn on. I see I was also the last person to comment on this thread.
I'm going to see if the solution above also works for the WiFi lib ... does anyone know what that lib is named on the TF700T?

I doubt it will work. You have a hardware issue or you changed something else like the kernel and didn't put the correct modules for wifi in the system/lib/modules folder.
I had just received a fresh new Galaxy SIII from Asurion and eagerly rooted and flashed my favorite AOSP ROM and found out my camera wasn't working. I search through these forums like a mad man trying to find a solution and I tried EVERYTHING but then I read someone's reply to troubleshooting and I admit I may have been overlooking the wording in some of these guides as to the path of my camera files but I fixed it and I want to share my findings so someone who is having a similar issue can get it fixed too. I'm also going to add the methods that didn't work but may work in other cases.
This fix ultimately replaces bad or missing firmware files. If you haven't tried Odin back to stock, re-rooting, or wiping data and getting a fresh start, I would recommend that first. This is more or less if sh** hits the fan.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE GALAXY SIII
***MY FIX***
BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT JUST IN CASE
Download this zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91693945/CameraFiles-signed.zip
Flash using Recovery
Wipe Cache & Dalvik (optional)
Fix Permissions
Reboot into Android
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
***MY FIX (Old Way)***
Download any TouchWiz based ROM to your phone or computer.
Unzip the ROM
Goto /system/cameradata and copy all the SlimISP files to your phone.
Goto /data and there should be another SlimISP bin file, copy that but don't mix it up.
Move these to the files to the corresponding areas of your phone.
Check permissions, I granted full access to Root, and User
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
Reboot if it didn't work immediately
I recommend keeping a copy of these on your ExtSD if you have one because you will have to do this if you flash a new ROM.

Appreciate the guide, hope it helps someone down the road. I'm in the camp that has no issues going back and forth between AOSP 4.3 or TW. I'll add this Rootz link as well which provides some additional information and might be making its way into roms via Github. Seems like as good an opportunity to spread the wealth.

Me too had problem with camera, but it seems like i got fixed it finally... I have a Cubot One MTK6589 with Miui rom. The steps are:

2. check it
3. if it works delete the old camera app with titanium backup because if u run the old bad camera app the problem will come back and u have to flash again.
4. install some good camera app like camera awesome because for me the jb camera doesn't detected my front camera.
I hope this will help you!

Link fixed, sorry I don't really keep up with this anymore, my bad
fix front camera
work for my mtk device
edit builtprop, open the editor and change or add
hw.cameras=1
ro.camera.dcim=1
explanation
# hw cameras
hw.cameras = 2 (1 only for the Front, 2 for the Front & Back)
# camera DCIM dir. 0: sd only; 1: nand only; 2, sd first
ro.camera.dcim = 1
This is likely to occur due to the use of internal memory is converted into ROM
while the external sdcard memory is converted into internal
hopefully work
:cyclops:
Just sharing:
flashing didn't work, used servicely and added camera service to hitlist.
can i use it on galaxy core
MODIFIED TO NOW WORK WITH VERIZON.
Confirmed working on Verizon Retail Edition and Dev Edition (no flashing involved, just what is listed here)
Here's a zip you can flash on firmware NCG. Thanks to @BigBot96
NCG auto enabler
OKAY guys I got it working. See screenshots. AND FOLLOW THESE STEPS
Requirements:
Use this services.jar NOT the one from the zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vjq70yfdxrmmj9/services.jar
Root
ES File Explorer (make sure Root Mode is enabled)
v2.1 odex file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582
YMMV, so I recommend copying these two files from your system folder to somewhere safe (external sd or PC) just in case something goes wrong.
GOOD LUCK!
1. Download/unzip the services.odex file from the zip. Download modified services.jar from here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vjq70yfdxrmmj9/services.jar )
2. Copy Both files to the /system root folder
3. Fix all permissions to rw-r-r (3 checks in first column, first check in second, rest blank) DOUBLE CHECK THIS (See Attached)
4. Copy services.JAR from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite.
5. Copy services.ODEX from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite again.
6. Reboot
Mine took a few minutes to boot up, and reodexed everything "Android is updating apps".
?????
Profit.
CLICK THANKS.
btw HUGE thanks to RevelationOmega for doing the hard part!!
Also thanks to joshw0000 and Joderme for testing/helping me come up with this!

Try this, can't hurt

If your phone won't boot, take it to your local Best Buy. The Samsung people have a reflash tool that can fix your phone. Not sure if you guys have a odin image or not just wanted to let you know.
I'm sorry guys. I hoped it would work.
Guess I took one for the team... Thank you for the help!

No problem! Figured it can only be a soft brick easily fixed by flashing stock again. Better to re-set everything up and do a 15 second root than it is going about having to get a whole new phone

Might be a bit late.. but chances are ADB was still active. When I was trying out to remove the hotspot restriction manuaĺly, by uploading a recompiled framework-res.apk, it also got stuck at the verizon logo in the boot process but i was still able to use adb to replace the file with the original and when it finished copying the phone completely booted.
Anyone willing to send me their services.jar file and test for me? I'll see if I can get this working for you guys.
