Can someone please tell me where the setting for when your talking on the phone your phone is suppose to black out when you hold it to your face. I can't find anything.
Huh? Mine just does it. It uses the proximity sensor. I don't think that's a setting
The sensor is behind the glass, not near the earpiece.
Is there a sensor test or calibration somewhere?

You can go to dialer(stock) and *#808# scroll left to right to degugfing and then proximity sensor test.

Hi, the light sensor on my TP is not as sensitive as it was before, i used the sensor test utility and it reads dark in fair light, and it barely changes values when moving from outdoor to indoor..... my screen protector is partially covering the sensor, i removed it completely but same result, is there a utility to adjust the sensor......... please help
Also having this problem, the light sensor doesn't seem to function at all..
Same here, my sensor doesn't seem to work from what I can tell (is it next to the speaker at top?).

Is there any information about an upcomming firmware update by HTC? i'm having troubles with loads of bugs atm..
the only time i noticed this problem was after installing PocketShield http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430541 .... but im sure i did not have this issue before.
I have had 3 touch pro phone's now becuase i had some issues with the screen, but all of the phone's that i had had the same problem with the light sensor, it just doesnt word properly.
We need a rom update!
Try one of the bubble level programs from over on the Diamond apps forum. Sorry I don't know which one and i don't have time to try right now, but it has a light level meter that show how many ansi lumens the sensor is registering.
Just put your finger over the sensor and see if the display dims, then remove your finger and see if it brightens again.
This test works fine on my TP.
not that much result here..

used to work, but not anymore.... i can only notice the screen change when moving from indoor to direct sun light
Go to battery options and turn the light sensor off. You'll see immediately that screen will light up. Turn the light sensor on again and the screen will darken

how to disable light sensor for optimus 3d?
You mean the light sensor that controls the brightness of your screen or the light sensor that detects when you are in a call and turns off the screen?
I'm pretty sure you can disable the first one by just turning off Auto Brightness. The second one can't be disabled as far as I know.

Well, I was also wondering because when you turn the phone in talking position but away from your ear the screen is still on, when you get close to the ear the screen get off right away...
Can you change the delay on the proximity sensor at all? When I move the phone away from my head it takes a good few seconds for the screen to come back on meaning it takes me about 5-6 seconds at least before I can hit the end call button.
So the proximity sensor on my Z3 is screwed up. I only need to put my hand about 5cm (2") over the sensor and the screen shuts off when unlocket.
Any help would be appreciated!

Proximity works only during the call.
Anyother behavior is not normal, and also 5cm is maybe little much, but also mine register 3-4cm.
So for some strange reason my proximity sensor is active all the time, any fix for this?

Connect it to pcc and use repair solution. That is simplest thing to try.

Okay, I solved it, it was actually an app that had gotten permission to access the senor, after removing permission from the app everything is back to normal, phew!

Which app was it? How did you find it? I also have this problem.
As I unbox n started using my brand new Samsung S8+, i am having this popup re the proximity sensor being blocked or something. Is this a firmware issue or hardware issue? Thanks if anyone is willing to entail their story re this matter, any fix would be of good help. Sorry if this question is being raised in this thread.
The proximity sensor is left to the earpiece, and right to the IR LED (the red IR sensor used with Iris scanner).
Is that area covered with anything? Screen protector, dust, whatever?

I find this popup whenever I take the phone out of my pocket. So because of that the proximity sensor is blocked? Its covered by my pocket. But what is the solution. Its draining battery.

That's odd, can not replicate.
Not an issue with software or hardware and its not draining your battery, LOL. It's a feature mate. You likely have "Keep screen turned off" enabled in your display settings. It uses your proximity sensor to turn off the screen for you if it senses that the phone is in a pocket or bag. I think it will throw up a dialog box if it gets triggered, that's probably what you're seeing.

In first place it can be a bad connection of the cabling.
