It's strange but try, in first time, to clean the sensor with a cotton-bud. If it still deosn't work, try to recalibrate your proximity sensor with the following apk : DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator
Good luck !
I had the same problem.
But today I was replacing the back cover with the black one and in the process I saw A LOT of dust around the phone's earspeaker. The proximity sensor was hardly visible at all. I cleaned it up, put everything back together and it's working like a charm. Even power led is now 2 times brighter lol

Black screen in condition with low lights

Hello, I'm having lots of issues with the proximity sensor.
I can't use my phone at night or in any situation with low light as the proximity sensor doesn't allow me to unlock the screen.
It seems to be a common problem but I can't find a solution that doesn't require root.
Any help please? It's getting frustrating.
I'm on 30e with 21c modem if this helps, and have custom recovery installed
Are you sure this isn't just hardware failure? How do you know it's software related anyhow? If you know the method using root than why don't you just root?
Some of The app that i regularly use don't work with root, so I'm trying to find a solution that would allow me to use my phone at night and with those apps, but if I will not find a solution soon I'll root and disable the proximity sensor manually I guess...

Help disabling Proximity Sensor

Hi everyone! My proximity sensors is not working anymore. I have an Asus Zenfone 2 Z00AD that when I'm in a call it got the screen black until the end of that.
In WhatsApp it happens too, so I tried to install xposed and sensors disable but I just got a bootloop.
Xposed is fine and I'm using other modules but Sensors Disable don't. I tried the last 3 versions of it.
So I installed Hardware Disable app but I don't know what device must be disable since I see a lot of them.
So I'll thank you for any kind of help in this matter.

How to disable proximity sensor in rooted phone?

So it appears that my proximity sensor is faulty because of which it always thinks there is something close to it. Due to this issue, whenever I make a phone call the screen is always off as the proximity sensor thinks my ear is close to the phone, even when I remove the phone from my face.
This is quite annoying obviously and I was wondering if I can somehow disable the sensor. I rooted the phone with the hope of doing so. I am guessing I can delete/rename an appropriate file in the "sys" folder or add something to the build.prop to disable the proximity sensor. Can someone tell me what needs to be changed?
Use an app for disabling/mocking sensor reading, e.g. this one. I'm using it on Nexus 5, which after some time stops reading data from proximity and light sensors. Unfortunately, for this one you have to install Xposed too.
Maybe somebody will come up with an app, which will work without Xposed.

I know I could do it with Xposed but Xposed does not work for Nougat. I need a solution for Android 7.1.1.
