hello everyone. i use CM12 custom ROM around for 8-9 months. today i had a strange problem. When someone calls me, phone does not wake up. i mean, i hear the ring noise but screen is off. So i can not answer the calls. and when i call someone, screen is again off. when i call somenone and when he does not answer, phone stays like that for a very long (maybe an endless loop or something like that) so i make a hard boot to close my calling and if i need to press some buttons while calling (calling a bank or shop etc), i can not do it. What can i do to solve it? does anyone have any idea?
thanks.
after a little search, i learnt that i have trouble with my proximity sensor.
i updated my ROM to CM12.1
i downloaded xposed installer and sensor disabler. but still does not work. how can i eliminate "proximity sensor" on calls?

Hi guys,
When I'm calling with my Desire HD there is pause button on screen and I accidentally touch the button which causes breaks in calls. Is there any way to change the default phoning app? I've tried GO Contacts, but it changes only managing contacts app. I'm using Cyanogen Mod 7 if this is revelant.
Hmm it seems you have a problem with your proximity sensor... Is the screen turning off when you talk on the phone?
The normal behaviour is that the screen turns off (from the proximity sensor action) when you put your phone next to your ear.
If that's the case, you can either try using Proximity sensor calibrate http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858 or contact your dealer for a repair.
You can also switch off the screen with the power button after starting a call, this should lock your screen as well.
Lastly, if you really hate your current screen and you feel adventurous, you can try flashing an AOSP Rom like MIUI (but that's a long story xD)
Hope that might help.
Hi;
While on a call, the screen will close. While still talking I press the side button to open the screen and the call will disconnect.
How do I correct this?
Thank you.
Same question. Its just stupid, how on earth I`m supposed to wake up screen without disconnecting a call ?!
Go to: settings>Accessibility>un-check-power button ends call
what's funny is i'm pretty sure that this setting is not selected out of the box, so you guys must have went and enabled it yourselves!

I don't know about yours but my SGN seems to have proximity sensor near the speaker and it seems to turn screen on as soon as I take it away from my ear auto-magically It may "lag", but it's fair enough for me...
Mine did the same thing today. I confirmed the accessibility link cited above was not checked. Proximity sensor is irrelevant, I was on a two hour conference call and speaker using speaker phone mode. Screen times out and shuts down on its own, which also shuts off the prox sensor.
Note 2 Verizon Rooted. Two weeks ago my phone started this. When ever I make a phone call, the screen cuts off. The problem is it wont come back on until the call has ended. Now if i reach someone this isnt a huge issue, but if I have to deal with an automated system, or get someones voice mail i Have to do a battery pull. Does anyone know what is going on? Please help.
Try to clear data of phone app.

Same Problem
I had the same problem, I found it was the cover I had on my phone that prevented the phone to go back on during a call.
This is a problem related to the proximity sensor. It's something very hard to clean so I just disabled turn off screen during calls option. Just go to your dialer press menu button then click call settings you should see turn of screen calls option, disable it.
Your cheek probably touch to screen and press random buttons when you're on the phone so remember to turn off your screen by on off button so you dont touch buttons with your cheek.
Hope that solves your problem
edit: I found that sometimes blowing through the speaker makes proximity sensor work correctly for a while. It's not a practical solution though.

Thanks for the information everyone! I busted the screen a few months ago and assume that's whats causing it. I just didn't think that was it because it hadn't been a problem until well after I busted it. Ill disable this option and that will take care of it for my needs.
So recently my phone's screen had just been going black while I was receiving, making and mid phone calls. Including Skype Calls. So my search around the web came to the conclusion that it was the proximity sensor that caused this.
I'm rooted, running CM 12 and had been for 3 months until this issue arrived so I don't think it's from the ROM or the fact i'm rooted but if i'm to run a diagnostic on the sensor it always produces, "near"

I can't post images or links yet ;-; so you'll just have to edit that screenshot a little bit to view it.
so I have evidence to believe that it's 100% busted and I don't really feel safe with unscrewing the back of my phone to try and fix it, is there any way that I can just disable it? I have Hardware Disabler but I don't know the driver name. Also I cannot install Xposed also for this reason:

Just wanting to bump this.
I have exactly the same problem with my G3, and unfortunatly have not found a solution yet.
With roms based on the original G3 rom I can somehow answer a call, and then the screen goes black, but after that I cannot end the call. With roms like PA or CM I can't answer a call (the screen goes black as soon as it rings), but I can end the call with the power button when I call someone myself. In the beginning the proximity sensor sometimes did show a distance other than 0, but now it's just stuck to 0. I'm fairly certain the actual sensor is just broken, and I hope there is just a simple mod or something to disable it completely, or a way to anwser calls with the volume or power button.
I have also tried the Hardware DIsabler app, and googled all the drivers it showed, but I couldn't find the proximity sensor.

Yup. I'd really enjoy a solution, it's just a constant issue for me.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one though haha!
Is it possible to enter this device test?

Hello,
Is anyone having trouble trying to change volume while in a call ?
It's not properly registering the up or down clicks on the rocker. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
It is only happening when the phone is close to your face and the screen is off. When I take the phone away from my face, it works flawlessly.
In all other situation outside of a call, it works as intended
I've got one answer from the support telling me that this is a normal behaviour due to the proximity sensor . An other answer from them ask me to reset the phone... (the phone is 2 days old..)
