the proximity sensor issue is again there back in 4.2.2 in latest update also smart stay doesnt work.
Any way to do it?
I dropped my phone and screen shattered in the proximity sensor area. I successfully managed to replace the screen but now experiencing the black screen during phone calls.
hello I have been trying to find a rom that has a working proximity sensor or to stop accidental wakeup when in my pocket. I wear shorts a lot which are a bit thin and I feel the phone vibrating as if it got a wrong fingerprint every now and than so I have tried to cover the proximity sensor and attempt to unlock the phone and it unlocks no problem. also when making phone calls the screen stays on causing me to touch random buttons.
so may questions is there a rom that has the proximity sensor working? and please is you could just cover the sensor and try to see it prevents the phone from waking up.
thank you for any feed back.
NOTE: might need to turn on "prevent accidental wake up" under display settings.
ROMS ive tried and did not work: PURE CM, Resurrection.
Anyone have any issues with the proximity sensor not working when on a call? My Note 8 will not turn the screen off when it is to my ear. I have remove the screen protector and the case and still no luck. I can't find a setting to turn it on/off.
I just upgraded from an S8 to a 21 FE, I had this setup where my screen will turn off using the proximity sensor, so when I open my case cover or lift it up from the table it just turns on automatically.
Upgrading, I notice the apps I used (Gravity Screen, Smart Screen On Off) are not working as they used to. In most tests, I did seem to suggest the proximity sensor only responds when the front lens is covered by my thumb instead of just hovering over with my hand like before. I did the *#77692# test and the Proximity sensor is working fine then WHEN I enable it so I'm at a lost here, is this a technical issue, is this by design

Didn't you find the gesture to double tap the screen to wake up?

I did, but I'm used to waving my phone awake with both my hand and by opening my phone case, but it seems the more recent Galaxy phones don't allow the same use of the proximity sensor

A touch sensor while the screen is locked can consume less power than a proximity sensor placed in a camera, for example.
