Please Help me I want override the in-built software " That proximity sensor want to work when earphones connected" . This is due to my phones microphone is dead so build a connection from earphones. So I want proximity sensor to be work even earphones connected.
I use Pixel 2 XL as my daily driver and I have just noticed that sometimes when I answer call on the phone the proximity sensor is not working and phone app shows it uses GW for making a call
switching output to phone does not make any difference (only to speakerphone which does not use proximity sensor)
did you experienced such behaviour?
I recently find out that my S9 keep emitting IR from the proximity sensor, is that normal or it's something not right happening on my phone.
P/s: I did some Google and found out that S9 has 2 proximity sensors, but why it has to be two of them but not one like other phones?
Also the IR led on the video below can only be seen via a surveillance camera, not via other phone's camera.
Please see my video

I have CCTV on my house and at night when people walk past using their phone you can see the same thing, probably for the "Block accidental touches in a dark place", as the screen off when making a call 'should' only activate the IR when you are on a call
Also if you are playing a voice message on WhatsApp and put your hand too close the to proximity sensor it stops the playback
Phone camera as an IR block filter to filter out IR, although you can still see TV Remotes IR with it
Thank you for your comment, but event when I turn that function off, the IR still blinking.
I know I may just being over-thinking but it's bugging me still.
Even though I could not see it blinks but I still know it's blinking always without any explanation.
Easy screen turn on
I finally know the reason why.
It's the "Easy screen turn on" feature that keep the proximity sensor emitting IR.
Once turn it off, the sensor no longer emits IR.
Hello to all. I read on the net that it is a common problem. when we listen to a voice message on whatsapp, if we make the mistake of bringing the phone to the ear, activating the proximity sensor, the audio stops. is there a way to make whatsapp play audio messages exclusively in speakerphone without activating the proximity sensor which obviously does not work correctly? thanks
I have not luck with an aliexpress screen replacement, the screen has not the holes for light sensor an proximity sensor. So the light sensor is not problem, i can manual adjust the bright level, the real problem is the proximity sensor, i need to disable because when i receive a call the screen is enable and earphone speaker is disable, so the only method to manage a call is with hands free.
Any idea???
