Hello guys,
According to this post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oper-options-from-many-phones-12-0-4.4214983/
I wanna ask if people on last updates, still have this option or it has been removed? (in Dev mode/ "Quick Settings Developer Tiles" / proximity sensors ). I'm still on 12.0.4 and use sensors off,no root, only debloat lot of things.... and blocking auto updates.
Thx for replies, have a nice day.

can i ask you what's the purpose of turning proximity option off?
U know that poco f2 pro doesn't have proximity sensor? ( using ai virtual proximity )

I resolve the HD2 problem for proximity sensor bug during call with this steps:
1. turn off vibration for connecting (go to dialer menu)
2. turn off dialer keypad sound (via HD2Tweak 1.2)
3. install Touch in call screen tweak 1.2
Hi !
Could explain a little bit the "proximity sensor bug during call" you're facing ?
Which ROM verison are you using ?
thanks a lot !

When I dial , the screen go off without any association with proximity!
both original & energy ROM
Hi !
Thanks for your answer...
My problem is slightly different, but involves radio ROM and winmo drivers, because everything was fine with stock ROM 1.48.406.1 and radio ROM 2.15.50.14.
Now that I'm using the stock ROM 3.14.406.2 (wich includes radio 2.15.50.14)
when i'm in a call, the screen stays off even if the phone is no longer on my ear...
So that's why I as interested by your solution, but it does nothing on my phone...
With this last official update from HTC, i'm now facing keyboard sensitivity issues (everything was alright with prévious ROM and HTC patch for the sensitivity), and this proximity sensor problem...
i find the case can make the sensor play up as most manufacturers dont account for the sensor

please explain more.
manufacturers dont put cut outs on cases or they arent big enough so the sensor is then covered
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.

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.

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

Guys!
Do you experience proximity sensor issues while answering calls on OP7P?
For me while I'm on calls. The display comes on and gets disturbed and get pressed by my ears all the time.
Also any idea of where the proximity sensor is located on OP7P?
Thanks ?
Yes, I'm having the same issues. While I'm on calls I often activate the notifications pulldown. It would be nice to know how to fix this.
If you pull down the notification shade, the sensor is located just above the fifth icon on the first row. IE behind the screen.
If you pull the shade all the way down it is above and between the third and fourth icons. Easiest way to describe it. Put your thumb over that area with auto brightness on to watch the slider move.
Annoying while on a call that the screen comes on.
I'm experiencing the exact same issue with the caller app.
I also tried to make a flip cover to turn screen on or off with a proximity sensor detection app and it didn't work either.
I search a little in engineer mode (*#808#) and found that there is multiple proximity sensor, the IR sensor work quite well but it doesn't seem to be the default one.
The default one seems to be the ultrasonic sensor which works really bad.
There is also a "TP" proximity sensor which seems to be a near field detection which seems to work if I move my hand near the screen.
The sad thing is that in dedicated app to use or test proximity sensor (and in antutu or else) only one proximity sensor is listed (The ultrasonic one I guess) so you cannot switch to use the one which is working well.
Isn't this in the wrong place? Shouldn't it be in the Questions and Answers section?
Mods?
Probably just here looking for a mod to improve the situation
Actually I was going to open a new thread in Q&A when I found this one with the same subject and problem.
Do you think I need to open a new thread?
Is any of you experiencing the same issue as I described in my answer?
did anyone calibrate the proximity sensor using *#808# first? That seems to fix double tap to wake for some people
I tried to with no luck but as I explain in my first message the IR sensor is only used when screen is off (that's why it could help with double tap to wake)
But when screen is on another or couple another sensors are used and you can't calibrate them.
I think ultrasonic sensor is used when screen is on.
Do someone tested proximity sensor with any app on the play store? (Like proximity sensor test)
Put it on a table and check if it's working, mine is absolutely not. If I hold it like I was about to phone it works a little but it's not impressive.
Since I got 9.5.7 (EU version) earlier this evening screen turn off when I make a call.
I'm having this issue since 9.5.8... It's very annoying and I'm really disappointed, I often turn on airplane mode during a call... I tried to calibrate but it doesn't work.
I'm very very frustrated

When I click on proximity test it says it needs calibration how do I do that cause otherwise I can not test my proximity sensor cause when I click on it nothing happens

I've been having issues with phone calls but more so with pocket issues.. When I had the 6t pocket mode kept the phone neutral but this phone doesn't seem to have an accurate prox sensor.. Is there a way to activate a pocket mode?

Happening to me too, approached oneplus via live chat about this issue and at one point they said to wipe and reset my phone even if I told them the sensor is working but seems badly calibrated. Will try the wipe & reset and if it's not working I am returning my phone.
Proximity sensor is working fine - there is a bug elsewhere on the firmware that does not lock the screen when it is blacked out

I have reported this to Funk wizard on the OOS support thread and he said he cannot reproduce it anymore on the latest test build, so... We have to wait for next firmware release and see if that is indeed the case
Hi
Basically the title says it all.
On 9.5.7 (I believe on 9.5.6 too) screen turns on a accidentally while being carried in pocket and keeps being activated.
When I had 9.5.6 I calibrated promixity sensor following a thread here in xda but I am unable to bring the sensor calibrarion app now.
*808*# doesn't work anymore for calibrarion of promixity sensor - is it the same for you?
Thanks

I know maybe was an error but you do know that the correct code is "#*808*#" not "*808*#" as you write it.

Thanks for your reply but no, the engineering mode is accessed by dialling *808*# - the other one doesn't do anything.
Actually the code working for me is *#808# but my phone also turns on in the pocket. Would be happy to get a pocket mode like with the Op5

Sorry to barge in here, and steal a bit of this thread, but..
I'm very picky about phone-on-pocket activation + unlocking.
I've had to return phones because of this, and I can't buy a OnePlus locally.. so, I'm a bit more concerned about returns/etc.
Is there a mode on the oneplus 7 pro, where:
- it NEVER EVER wakes up, unless you push the power button
OR
- if it is woke by an event, it can NEVER be unlocked by any means without a pass/numeric code/swipe code first?
EG, one phone I had.. I couldn't remove the camera app from the lockscreen. So, it'd stay locked, but I'd pocket click the camera app, and it'd stay on forever as I walked. I noticed this once as I took a picture of my pocket and the flash came on.
So does the lockscreen have a mode where no app can ever open, nothing can ever happen, unless the phone is actually unlocked? EG, no swipe up/down, icons, anything?
I'm guessing you guys like the proximity sensor because it prevents some of the above?
If so, any luck? How isn't it calibrating?

If you aren't too attached to the option where one displays the ambient displays by picking up the phone, you can disable that option and I'll prevent this from happening. Personally, I use tap to display only

OK, that helps re: my concerns above -- although I'd surely like to know about the rest of the lock screen.
With the proximity sensor 'acting up', pocket hitting of power button, volume keys, etc happens. And when it does, if the lockscreen has 'stuff' on it, stuff could still get activated.

Go to Developer Options and find "kill switch for all sensor" also give that sensor testing app "physical activity permission"
