I have installed lastest V12.5.4.0.RFDMIXM global
how did any of you solve the problem of the proximity sensor?
But is it possible that I am forced to change firmware due to this annoying problem? there are no solutions yet?
Calibration does not work ... the problem remains!
if I change the firmware with a different one with the pixel experience for example it works perfectly.
Can you advise me?
Does it have a physical proximity sensor ??

hi.
i have a p500 and i am always changing roms and the last rom i have flashed recently is rc5 4.4 rom from jenkins. i don't remember but once i flashed a new rom a few month ago, i recognized that the proximity sensor does not work during calls. that means the screen does not go off in calls and my ear touches the screen and menus. so i searched a lot in internet and forums and found some solution for it but none of them fixed it. the last solution was in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353972 but the problem is that there is not such file sys/class/sensors... so what should i do? i have to mention that i have tested the proximity sensor with an app named androsensor and it shows that the proximity works well and detects my finger. so any suggestion or guide could be useful. please help me because this problem irritates me a lot.
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 ?
Hello there!
I have the problem since I put matte screen protector on my phone. Everytime I call/answering call screen goes black. Maybe it needs calibrating proximity sensor or something like, but I don't know how.
I would be very grateful if you could suggest me some way to fix this problem.
Thanks
Some screen protectors just mess with the proximity sensor, remove them and verify the sensors operation... If it fixes the problem, contact the manufacturer/retailer and request a refund, a screen protector designed for the device should not interfere with any sensor's operations.
There is no way to calibrate the sensor I am aware of.
Sensors Test app by Ettore Zaffaroni is a handy tool to check proximity sensor and others. It detects 3 levels of proximity, less than 1 cm, between 1 and 3 cm, beyond 3 cm on Moto G 3th. The proximity sensor on this model is right between the ear speaker and the front facing camera.
Thank you both for the answer.
The protector I'm using currently is custom cut (cause there was no other option for my phone in my region). It covers sensor and hence the problem comes. When putting on I didn't think there would form this kind of obstacle. The Clear one that I had purchased from amazon and used before was cut nicely and didn't cover sensor.
Lately I was searching some tools for calibrating and came up with an app named Proximity sensor restore/repair by Mobile Direction. As it says it only repairs the software problem not hardware. I gave it a try and for now sensor works. Though, I don't know if it will be permanent solution.
Alternative is to cut there too where proximity sensor is located, cause I don't want to remove the protector yet.
Oh no ! here it comes again! I had a long standing issue on Moto G Osprey with screen going blank when making or receiving a call . WIth AospExtended ROM 26/09 version it was resolved . In mean time I spent 1 year tried to resolve teh issue by installing stock motoroal firmwayre, proximity sensor disabling via exposed module, proximity sensor caliberation etc and nothing worked . But with 26/09 build thsi was resolved and my screen was working on 90% of calls and on 10 % dialler or call accepting option was not apearing but status bar was visible where on Andropid Nougat roms and Marshmellow Roms it was 90% of calls were made received with blank screen and then rubbing over sensor to wake up screen .
After the Alpha build 30/09 this has came back again . I have checked again on 26/09 build and issue is not there . Can anyone suggest why I am having this issue with new build or what changes been made into new build which can cause this issue ? I understand only few people have this issue and even on Lenovo forums there is no solution to it
Proximity sensor Complete solution 101%
I have also same problem and All osprey custom ROM last update has this problem.
But guys u can use cypheros 4.1.2 there is no problem with proximity sensor it's same stable as AEX 4.6

My proximity sensor is not working while i am in a call. The screen remains black even after i take the phone one my ear. The sensor was perfectly working before one ui 2.1 update. Since i updated proximity sensor is not working anymore. I have already performed a factory reset but still no luck:crying:. Is anyone facing the same issue? If so what is the solution. Please advice.
Hey! I'd like to ask a favor from someone with a Zenfone 7 in their hands. Could you tell me the driver name of your proximity sensor? You can check it by using Sensor Box (free on the playstore).
I'm asking for this because it seems my phone doesn't even recognise the driver and it just displays as ASUS Proximity Sensor, opposedly to other sensors that display their true name. Maybe I'm tripping and that's just it's real name, but I'm almost sure it had a different name before the sensor started malfunctioning.
I'll attach a couple screens. Thank you in advance.
Here's some screenshots from a borrowed Zenfone 7 Pro, as you can see it's named the same.
To be sure we don't suffer the same fate I did some tests to confirm that sensor is working.
@zcrubby Thank you! Indeed your sensor works well. I'll keep trying to figure out where to find the root folder of the proximity sensor driver to disable it, since I was able to get sensor disabler functioning but didn't do the trick with the proximity sensor. Would you let me know if you know something? Much appreciated!

Any luck in disabling the proximity sensor? I have a strange bug wherein every restart of the device causes the first instance of the camera to flip upside down and come up with the camera obstruction error. But once you click ok several times it's fine.
