Hi,
This a rare but known issue with the proximty sensor. Try searching for proximty sensor you'll find some entries read through them maybe there's already a fix.
I don't know if it'll work but you can try to recalibrate the sensor. Here's the link. "How to" is included.
Maybe it helps.

[Q] Disable proximity sensor/Button to wake up screen

Hey guys.
I have a desire which has been dropped and the screen in the top left corner cracked. The proximity sensor is damaged, and I can test with various apps that this is indeed broken.
Now, when I get or make a call, the screen turns off, but since the proximity sensor isn't working, it's not turning on again when I move the phone away from my ear. So I wanted to know if anyone knew of a way of either completely disabling the feature, or a way of manually "waking" the screen again, by using any of the hard-buttons?
Thanks

what happens.. when you press power button

Sometimes it comes on, but mostly it doesn't... Regardless of which button I press...

I have read somwhere.. that by blowing some air over that part.. may clear any blocakge.. and proximity sensor works fine.. just try this .. use any vaccume cleaner.. and blow some air over sensor part..

And if that doesnt work.. search for this app in market "'Proximity Screen Off' ".. it might help you.

Yeah, I read that too... Tried blowing with compressed air even. The sensor is dead :/

Try this app.. it will switch your proximity sesor off after call ended.. its not mine just found. you might wanna try this

Hy, i have got the same problem !

[Q] Where is the One X's ambient light sensor?

Anyone know?

Left of the HTC logo above the screen. It is also where the proximity sensor is.

If you call someone, take a look at the front of your phone. You will see a steady red glow from the top left of your screen, this is where the proximity and ambient light sensor are housed.

It helps if you angle the phone, you can see that there is almost like a rectangle hole in the paint behind the glass

If you want to easily see it, enable Face Unlock, then try to unlock your phone in complete darkness, you will see that little red light comes on to the left of HTC logo.

That light seems to be permanently on after I had a viber call. Any ways to turn it off
Edit.: the cause was NotifierPro. Fixed it.

"settings --> display and gestures --> sleep" and there you can set the time for turning off the display

Dear Sir!
Do you mean the sensor activated during a phone call? My HTC one X last time has an abnormal behavior when I place a phone call. Normally when you move the phone away of hear it should turn on the screen back light so you are able to hang up the phone call. But my phone still be black after moving away from the hear so I need to push power button to activate the screen back-light and than hang up the phone call. Could somebody help me out on this issue? Any kind of help shall be much appreciated.
Best regards
Fredi

Proximity Sensor Adjustment

I was having trouble with my face turning speakerphone on or hanging up the call.
Turns out the Rezound proximity sensor adjustment app works on the HTC One as well. Made the sensor turn the screen off from further away and all problems solved.

Did you try my settings? Is the app showing the NEAR/FAR toggle change from farther away? The only way I see you holding it wrong is if the sensor is looking past your head completely. Sensor is in the top left corner of the phone.

I've always had the problem where when I'm done with a call and pull the phone away from my face, the screen doesn't come back on. Happens 99% of the time.

I may have to look into this. Today it seemed like my cheek was pushing all sorts of buttons. Thanks for the post.

Phone screen stays black on phone calls.

I'm not sure if it's a proximity issue, software, or related to the phone app itself but quite frequently when I'm on a phone call my screen will stay black even if I pull my face away from the phone. Pressing the power button does nothing, double pressing it for the camera shortcut will have the phone vibrate but still black screen. If I place my finger on the fingerprint scanner it vibrates but still black screen. The only way to get the screen to come back on is for the other caller to hang up. It was especially bad when I called my voicemail and couldn't hang up so it was stuck like that until I held the volume up and power buttons to manually reset the phone. Is anyone else having this issue?

run it on safemode and see if it still happens, if not then there could be an app messing with the experience.. if still doenst turn on while on call on safemode, then call support.

Are u using immersive mode?

I've read that some experienced this after an update to the phone app. I had this problem and it turned out something was wrong with the proximity sensor. I downloaded an app to test the phones sensors and it always said near for the proximity sensor. Had an RMA done on it

I am having the same issue...

Funny thing, i can wake my screen well when I'm calling with my Bluetooth device (Alpine player). But if I'm using the phone, the screen stays dead.
They should at least give us an update that would let us to wake the screen manually.

You guys need to give more detail like are you stock, rooted, modded? Something to go off of

Here is what you do... Remove your screen protector and throw it away. Then, buy one with a proper cutout for the proximity sensor.

I'm stock with no screen protector just an Incipio dual pro case. I've taken the case off and tried cleaning the phone but the still persists without the case on. I've also tried booting into safe mode and still the same problem occurs. At least now I've went into the settings and turned on power button ends call so I can hang up now. Talked with google support and sent them a bug report awaiting their response.

Yep mines saying NEAR for the proximity sensor. Guess I'm going to wait on the answer from Google support and RMA the device too. It's weird because I don't have any screen protector or anything to block the sensor and the proximity sensor was fine for the first 2 months.
