I've just discovered that my gyro sensor doesn't work. I am running rooted stock 4.1.1. The phone can not detect tilt movements. And under Settings->Motion->Sensitivity settings->Gyroscope calibration, the blue dot does not move from the center, no matter which orientation the phone is held. All of the options under Motion don't seem to work. I just want to see if anybody else has the same problem before calling TMobile.
Firstly, this should have been posted in the q&a section.
And the blue circle isn't supposed to move. You lay the phone on a flat surface and it calibrates itself.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. You are right about the blue dot not moving. I downloaded a few apps that detect sensors and all built-in sensor seem to be working as they are supposed too. I have problem for example of taking screenshot with a palm wipe or zooming picture by tilting the device, muting phone by turning it over, etc. None of these features work on my phone. Will try to explore more to see what the real problem is.

Before you go off the deep end, run the test on the sensor.
in the stock dialer:
Quick Test Menu
*#7353#
select the accelerometer tester and ilt the phone whatever way you want. If the arrows don't change, then the sensor isn't working. If the Arrows do change, then all good, no panic necessary...
Good Luck
Aloha
Thank you for your help. I ran the sensor test and the sensors work. I also turned on the Motion switch but the Motion features still don't work for me. Maybe this is a software issue. I will continue to explore and will report back if I've found something.

Hi,
Please do the following:
Pull the top notification bar down by using a downward swipe.
Tap on the Toothed Wheel in upper right corner
scroll down till you see the System divider (below the Add account line)
is Motion ON on the right side of it? if not, turn it on.
Tap on the word Motion
Are any of the options you want to use set with a check in the box?
if not, put the check in whatever you want to use by tapping on the box on the right of the function.
Example:
If you want to use Palm swipe for screen captures, tap on the box on the right of the option.
the boxes toggle these options so if you want the option off, then tap on the checkmark and it'll go off.
When you're done, click on the back button on the right side of the menu bar below the screen till you get back to the homescreen.
You are done, and the selected options should now function.
simple huh?
Thank you, bobolinko. I've been doing exactly what you described and no motion feature works for me. I begin to think that my software has a problem, because it does crash occasionally and software upgrade check hangs forever in the "checking for software updates..." screen and never comes back, no matter if I am on wifi or on 4G. Let me reinstall stock firmware and report back.
Try it like this:

Thanks for the video. I did exactly as shown and nothing happens. I never tried Motion before until I needed to capture my screen and discovered that it doesn't work for me. In the mean time, using PWR and HOME button at the same time does allow me to capture the screen, so I don't really need Motion feature working for me. I am just thinking that my software has a problem and I will need to reinstall stock. Thanks a lot for your help in any case.

im having the same issue. tried the accelerometer test and tilt the phone every which way but the arror didnt move at all. does that mean the accelerometer is done with. any fix for it?
also tried tsp dot mode, tsp grid mode, proximity and light sensors and nothing seems to happen during the test

I've been trying to pour through the API and find a way I can access and disable the proximity sensor with some code, but have been unsuccessful.
Does anyone know of a way, rooted or unrooted, that I can disable the proximity sensor completely?
I searched the forums and the only ways I found seem applicable to WinMo based phones.
Heck, I'll pay for a way to do it, I hate the proximity sensor that much.
Even if someone knows of a way I could disconnect it by opening my phone, I might even spring for that - but obviously a software approach would be much more appreciated...
Thanks!

It is unreliable, and I know it isn't just my phone because a number of people I know also have an HTC Incredible and it seems to behave just as erratically on theirs.
Based on the code I read through for Phone.apk or whatever, it seems like it is supposed to disable the proximity sensor when you're using bluetooth, just like when using the speakerphone - but it doesn't. I can't figure out why, and I noticed another thread floating around with users having the same issue.
I want to be able to use my phone while on a call and not have to worry about a shift in overhead light or something passing over the sensor and flipping the screen off while I'm trying to use it.
I would much prefer the ability to disable it entirely, and have full control of the screen off/on using the power button.
There was one app on the app store recommended in my searches that let's you lock the screen on and only go off based on orientation or something, but it doesn't seem to work for the HTC Incredible
Try screebl? Should keep your phone on based on orientation, I think even during a call? Not sure though.

That's the worst! It's like it gets doubly worse just when I want to be able to hang up.
If it helps anyone...I found these links. (If you google for "mProximityWakeLock", and follow the first Stack Overflow link, it also has two links in it to PhoneApp.java and InCallScreen.java)
I tried making an app that just kept calling release(), but it ended up just creating force closes.
you guys should email HTC so t hey fix it in the next OTA.
I know this is not really about droid, but what proximity sensor also does is scale down CPU speed (even despite using setcpu) making Skype completely useless without a headset.
When you initialize a call - everything is cool.
If you hold your phone on your hand and use loudspeeker - it's cool.
As soon as you put it to close to your face/ear - not cool anymore. To the point where it's absolutely impossible...
Cheers!
It does check for a headset plugged in, bluetooth audio or the speakerphone enabled. For bluetooth, it gets a code from a getState method. It only prevents the screen from turning off if it equals a specific state. All you have to do is force it to always be true.
You can also put this in the build.prop to completely disable it.
Code:
gsm.proximity.enable=false
How i do this?

1. you need to be rooted (if your on this forum and running miui you already are rooted) and have ES File Explorer downloaded from market.
2. open es file explorer and press menu then settings scroll all the way to the bottom and go to root options & turn on root explorer & mount file system
3. go back to the view of your sd card now on the top left there is a image of sd card click that. look for a folder named system and click there
4. in system scroll to bottom and look for a file called build.prop long press on this file and click copy now click the house at top left and paste the build.prop to your sd card
5. now go back to the system folder click on build.prop and you will get a selection of apps to pick from depending on what you have installed. pick es note editor
6. now that you in your build.prop scroll down and WHERE i put "gsm.proximity.enable=false" ? i write this code where? in the end? Where?
Thanks

Quick fix
I had a similar problem with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) when I put it in a waterproof box. The display went black when someone was calling, and it didn't reappear unless I opened the box and thereby deactivated the proximity sensor reading.
My quick fix is to put a piece of black electrical insulating tape over the sensor. Since the sensor basically is a light sensitive receiver looking for tiny reflections from a coded light source, total blackness will be read as "no near object".
But of course, a nice API call would be more elegant
For the love of god, bump!
Bump....seriously.....I've been looking everywhere for a way to disable proximity sensor. I wish Tasker had a simple Disable/Enable toggle on this sensor
Follow the post at the top of this page.
Make a backup of your rom just in case.
In summary, if you have root explorer then here's how I'd do it.
1. Navigate to /system.
2. Click the button at the top that says Mount R/W.
3. Open the file called build.prop.
4. At the bottom of the file add a line that says:
gsm.proximity.enable=false.
5. Hit menu, save and exit, reboot
It should work. If it doesn't you still should be ok. If unsure go ahead and restore your backup.
have the same problem but with incredible s. the screen goes down until on other end some body will not put the phone down! iv trued the false method. it did nothing.

For all those who are looking for a solution to a faulty proximity sensor and nothing else works, I can tell you that modifying the build.prop as described does work!
I simply can now press the button to turn the screen on or off while on call instead of relying on faulty sensor. Very pleased.
This was done using HTC WILDFIRE S a510a running HTC Sense GingerBread 2.3.3 which has been rooted with CWM root through CWM custom recovery installed after unlocking the bootloader at the HTCDEV site. The program used was called Rom Toolbox Lite and I used the "build.prop Editor" feature to safely make the modification to the file.
I always seems to be rotating and un-rotating my screen to get it to turn the way I want it to.
I had trouble with the Note1 with this and thought/hoped this new "smart rotation" camera checking you face position thing would help and I don't really think it helps at all.
It makes me especially nuts when I have my note 2 in Landscape mode in a holder in the car and my GPS software is shown the wrong way ...
I have also noticed that when using multiview that it gets more confusing.
Is this just more or are others not thrilled?
I would love to have a way to have a single button to make it rotate on demand and one then.
(NOT the don't rotate option that exists )
am I missing something basic?
THanks
Allen
I think its just the size of the phone, you try hold it and do stuff in one hand as you're used to, but because you have to hold it weird to get anything done, it rotates when you dont want it to. Only thing you can really do is disable autorotate. It would be good if you could adjust the threshold when to rotate, but of course on the other side of it, people will then say its too slow etc
Can't say this has been an issue for me. Seems to usually be in the correct orientation for what I want.

I know exactly what you mean. That's why I use display orientator. It places an rotate icon anywhere on your screen. So when you hold the phone in landscape. press the icon. and it stays locked in landscape.
When you're done in landscape, and hold your phone in portrait. press the rotate icon again, and it now returns to portrait.
perfect for me. No more flip floping rotating screen unless I want it to rotate.

Thanks - Display Orientator seems to be somewhat helpful.
He anyone seen thgouh any value added in this "smart rotate" in terms of using the camera to see where your face is? I have not found it helpful
I only ever had problems when changing between apps. I turned off the face checking orientation but it didn't conserve any more battery. On stock rom.
Nuts? Like hell, like Woods, like Savimbi. Seriously. I wondered no one had this issue unit I saw this topic. And that Smart Stay is a gimmick I think, I've no idea what it does basically!
I'll try that orientator app. Thanks.
Swyped from my GT-N7100
I don't use Smart Rotate but I do find the phone way too sensitive at turning to landscape. Sometimes the phone is only barely tipped towards that way when placing it down and it rotates.
Any way to adjust at what angle it turns?
this has happening to me lot now. I could be in the middle of any app and the touch screen will just stop working totally until i lock the screen with the power button and then unlock it.

Il you put two fingers and make some pressure between the front camera end the rear side of the phone, the screen becomes alive
I'm having issues with the screen not turning back on after a call or even listening to audio messages. I have to relock and then unlock to get it to work, very annoying.

You along with a bunch of us... ota messed it up
Good to know, I'm not the only one. Doesn't seem related to screen protector.
Really wish I can disable the proximity sensor for now.
I guess I came to the wrong thread. I don't have any issues like that or at least I don't notice it because I is the power button to turn the screen in/off all the time and I set my lock screen to not relock the phone for 5 minutes or something like that. That way I don't gotta enter my unlock code. There also is a setting which is supposed to keep your phone unlocked as long as you don't set it down. There also is a setting that keeps your phone from locking if you are within range of a Bluetooth (headseat maybe) device. I dunno try some of those options maybe you won't need to type your code in as much.
Personally I came here because I am looking for a way to completely disable my proximity sensor. I absolutely hate them on all phones. How stupid is it that they put the proximity sensor I right up next to where you have to put your hand if you want to pull down the menu bar??? It's like I go to pull down the menu bar - screen off. ****! Power button, slide open the lock screen (no code needed). Pull menu bar - screen off ****! Power.... Slide....menu bar - screen off. Of course it only does that during calls however that's a pretty annoying time because you're usually focused on other things and not wanting to **** with the screen going on and off.
Who the needs a proximity sensor to detect one's face anyway? I just click the power button every time I put the phone to my ear. Any time I don't do that, I run the risk of my cheek pressing the mute button for the 9000th time in my life. I do love Android though.

So it works too well for you with your finger but not enough for your face to prevent muting? LOL. Sorry never had that problem. I just avoid the middle if I had to get to the notifications during a call.
It happens often when I'm trying to toggle BT because my BT icon is directly under it.... For example. Anyway, I don't find it useful to even have an proximity sensor. That's why I stumbled in here, my search query was the exact title. I'm not really experiencing the problem the others were talking about though....

Who needs a proximity sensor? Really? You basically answered your own question. To turn off the screen when you put it to your face so that your face doesn't press anything on the screen. Having to press the power button every time you put the phone to your face and then press it again every time you take it away from your face would suck.

Yeah.....no basically pressing the power button is where it's at. It the again I'm not one who likes everything done for me. Absolutely NO PHONE I've ever owned has had a proximity sensor that was worth a ****. They all, at one time or another, allow the screen to wake up subsequently letting the microphone mute button to enable. The mute button is another piece of Android trash that needs redesigning. It is not often that mute is needed so why not out that in a drop-down menu or something since it inevitably gets pressed during calls due to a ****y proximity sensor and Screen wake setup.
I also drive a manual transmission car. Actually the last 5 cars I've owned have been manual shifted. When YOU are in 100% control of your devices, there are certain niceities which are otherwise unavailable. But that's only if you're the type who doesn't gotta have everything done for them.
As far as you go buddy, if you like the proximity sensor that's fine. Personally I don't ****ing care what you like. thanks for a wasted Fred post which contacted my email to have me come back here to tell you what a waste of time that was thanks.

So I assume you have earbuds, or if not, you can get some really cheap earbuds from the gas station, and when needed, you can plug it in, and it will register that it has earbuds in and will light up again, disabling the proximity sensor. You can leave it in as well, until you need it to talk, unless it will work while calling. This should work, I haven't personally tried it.

Hi,
Hope you managed to solve the issue.
If you haven't then
1. Install sensor disable from xposed repo. It's an old app so there are a few bugs when you try to remove the sensor as such.
2. Buy the Pro version or use lucky patcher to disable in app purchases for Sensor Disabler.
3. Go to the settings of Sensor Disabler and blacklist the apps that you don't want the proximity to work on.(I had problems with my WhatsApp. But it works perfectly now.)
I can't seem to get my rotate icon to work on Developer Preview 2. I've turned off the Auto-Rotation option, but it's still not showing up. I wasn't a part of the 1st Developer Preview, but I don't think that plays a factor. Is anyone else experiencing this?

it works for me. it doesn't show up unless I rotate the phone.
I can't get it to appear for the life of me! It's driving me nuts!
if you have auto-rotate enabled in display settings, it will NOT show up. If its disabled, you should see the icon if you rotate the screeen
My auto rotate is turned off (not blue), but when I go to YouTube, for example, and attempt to rotate the phone, the rotate icon toggle doesn't appear. I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out why.

Just tested and it appears to the far right of the home button.

It finally works. It started showing up a few minutes ago. Go figure!
still doesn't work for me, have you done anything to enable it ?
No. It just started appearing. Very odd!
Ya. I can't get it to work either. Tried everything. Hopefully mine will "just start to work" to.
I just ended up doing a clean flash and now it works.
