Hi,
Since the weekend both my proxi sensor and auto brightness have stopped working, which I'm assuming is the light sensor and are lined or even the same thing.
I have completed a full wipe and reinstalled both Kernel and Rom (LeeDroid) with no joy.
Is there any definitive way of checking if this is a hardware or software problem.
Thanks in advance.
try lippies proximity sensor calibrator (you can find it in the themes and app section) that should help.
Flash the appropriate RUU for your device, if it persists it's hardware otherwise...

I need an opinion on this one. I've looked for this problem but it seems not to be clear what is causing it. I have Wildfire S (EU) Marvel. The device is S-On but I unlocked the boot loader and installed CWM. I've already tried several ROMs but it doesn't help to solve the issue. The problem appears during making the call - the screen goes black when you put the phone next to head and after that doesn't want to wake up. The only thing that wakes it up is putting it next to strong light source so I think the light sensor is the one to blame. However automatic backlight seems to be working fine. I really hope that it is not hardware problem. Please give any suggestion to try solving this problem. I would even go for the option to shut down somehow the light sensor because restarting phone after each call is kind of annoying. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Sorry for such a long introduction.

long introduction is far better than a short one ...
did you install rom propperly (factory reset/cache clean/dalvik clean)?
did you try using any other dialer app just to check ?
Like this, or this
I think i have read about such problem somewhere, if i find it i will post you the link to it...
also here are some apps to check your proximity sensor :
ProxyLightTester i couldn't find it on market. (not tested)
Proximity Sensor Finder Market link. (tested) and it will report 'all or nothing'

Hi, Thanks a lot for suggestions. So it seems to me that proximity and light sensors work. I tried several software including the one you suggested and the proximity and light sensor respond ok. I also tried different dialer but it doesn't help. I have no idea what can it be. I am thinking to put the device back to the factory state and maybe install official ROM but I am not sure if this will solve the problem. Thank you again for helping. And your device never had this problem?
Never had that problem.. Try reflashing w/o any app2sd gapps and stuff, just clean new rom and try it..

Before you do that try this build.prop file and see if it helps...Just remove the ".txt" and set your permissions same as the old build.prop file you renamed.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions I followed your advices but the phone simply refuses to wake up after the call. I am trying to go back to factory default since this is my last hope. Really confused what is causing it.
Hardware buttons not working after the 4.1.0 update .
Only Touch ID is working . Nothing else.

Also the volume keys are not working.
no brothers both the capacitive buttons and volume rockers work flawlessly on 4.1.0
all is working for me :-/
Working fine for me.
Working fine for me. Seems like a temp issue or a wrong flash to me. You can try wiping system and flash full zip. If you are fully stock, i would advise to perform a factory reset.

Sounds like a firmware issue. I suggest a full reflash.
I did a clean flash 4.0.3&4.1.0 OTA. Sometimes pulling down the notifications doesn't darken the background.
Clean flash ..stop making up bs posts
I cannot launch Google Assistant by voice with the screen off, whereas I could before the update

As i have been saying repeatedly, the OTAs from OnePlus suck.
Clean flash the full ROM.

Please PM me if you ever find a fix for this.. it forced me to use another ROM
Never call it Touch ID... This is not Apple.

Clean flashed again, now with OOS full zip 4.1.0, same thing. Pulling down notifications not always darken the rest of the screen. Still looking for a fix.
Factory reset solved the problem.

I have the same issue...
I am using Pixy Os 9.0 on Default Kernel And Phone Sensors are stopped Working like (accelerometer, proximity etc.).
I've tried going back to Oreo roms but not success.
Should I try changing kernel or something?

That worked. Thank You
That sensor flashing is easy way. However I took a different time consuming way. Writing it down so that it may help some one else.
When I switched from Oreo AiCP to latest Pie AEX, I went via the hard way. You may read it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...bootloader-t3868174/post78256476#post78256476
AEX 6.0 worked well but I too was facing sensor issue. I re-flashed the ROM but no effect. CPU-Z sensor page was complete blank. Yes, I knew the sensor.zip available for flashing but I went ahead to REDO the entire ZUI 1.9 to AEX flashing process.
This time around, all sensors are working fine.

Just goto recovery and flash the sensor.zip file.
Yes if the is due to sensors not working then it will help you but if the issue is from rom side code then it might not resolve the issue.
Are other sensors such as auto rotation working? If yes that might indicate that the issue is from rom side

I don't know what about the rom, because in the first place I changed the entire frame+screen+touch, all came in one piece. Until then the phone has no OTA, was stock international rom. I changed to Chinese rom because of this problem and step by step, I updated the stock rom until I reached the last version. After that I tried a custom room (this is actually on the phone, Android 9/AospExtended-v6.5-OFFICIAL), but with all rom the phone has the same behavior. So, what do you think?

I think the issue is not with any ROM, it is due to the screen and all other replacements, may be after the replacement your proximity sensor is always covered or blocked with something. There are apps on playstore to see the proximity sensor data check if the always shows the same distance/reading i.e. 0 while waving your hand over it, and if yes then the issue might be what I mentioned above. If that's the case you would have to take of the screen and adjust the proximity sensory properly.
Check with this app :

I have AOSP 10 on my ZUK. The sensors did not work.
Thank you. Now everything works well.
ok so, my phone's fingerprint sensor will just show "fingerprint sensor calibration needed" when trying to register a fingerprint. I've tried to nand erase and repartition, clean flash install, magisk install, hard reset etc but it wont work. It passes all the fingerprint tests fine.
I didn't buy or change any parts from the phone, it's still oem
what can i do to solve this? thanks

I *think* it has something to actually do with the calibration. The problem is that the sensor calibration needs to be performed with some application/equipment that either doesn't exist or is exclusive to samsung service centers.
I suspect we're gonna need some hacky workaround like the IMEI thing, which BTW never got really fixed.

i see..
I am missing the fingerprint scan option under the device Security settings in both stock EEA 14.0.7 firmware as well as any A13 custom ROM. I also flashed 14.0.4 Global but still no fingerprint option.
Is there something I can do from a software side to make the option appear?
I performed the calibration on the fingerprint but the sensor was not recognized.
Hope to hear some suggestions.

Thanks. I flashed each one but no fingerprint option appeared.
Any other suggestions?
Strange. Was any hardware changed on your phone recently?
You can try this. Install "Hidden Settings for MIUI". Open it and search for "fingerprint". Click on the one shown in the image below and see if it works.

Yes, I had cracked screen replaced.
I'm currently on AOSP ROM so I don't think that will work until I flash to stock.

I think that's it. You will need to calibrate the fingerprint sensor. You can search up google for specific instructions for that.
Thank you. I saw a video on how to do it. I will try it and hope for the best.
According to Google and some videos, it seems my fingerprint sensor is broken. When I try to calibrate it, this error appears: Unknown FOD sensor type.
Or maybe this calibration is only for in-display sensor phones. Ours is a physical button so it seems either it is actually broken or the OS is for some reason rejecting to accept it.
