So, I've moved to LineageOS with my Mi5 at lineage-14.1-20170620-nightly-gemini and everything was fine.
About a week ago I've updated to lineage-14.1-20170704-nightly-gemini and all worked well still.
But yesterday proximity sensor on my phone gone wild: it stopped to work in all situations, but started to work wrong for WhatsApp: if I press play on voice message, screen goes off and WA plays message in main speaker (top one).
Right now I've updated firmware to this (Developer 7.7.6 Firmware from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/tool-flashable-firmware-twrp-easy-t3474898) and updated lineageOS to lineage-14.1-20170711-nightly-gemini but it didn't help.
Proximity sensor now looks completely dead: tried Sensor Box app from GoolePlay and it permanents shows 5.000305. Proximity sensor doesn't work during any calls, etc.
I found some topics with similar issue on Mi5 on miui forum, and sensor calibration seems to solve this issue on stock MIUI, but can't find any info about how to calibrate sensor on lineageOS.
Requesting any assistance, and especially from @bgcngm and @h2o64.
Thanks
Same problem here. Have you found any solution?
Best,

Hi there,
I have cyanogenmod 14.1 update 20161217, and I've been having an issue since I updated to 14.0. Like I said in the title, my camera says it can't connect, my phone won't rotate, and the proximity sensor isn't working. Does anyone know if these are normal bugs that will be fixed later, or it's just an isolated case?
Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone else experiencing proximity sensor issues with the SM-A520 (A5 2017) either with stock ROM or Lineage OS 14.1 ROM? Since flash over to Linage 14.1 (from stock), the screen does not reliably go, or remain, black when held up side your face while on an active call. Cheek touches result in inadvertent button pushes. Downloaded an app for that and it re-calibrates the phone each boot (non-rooted). Now the proximity sensor works quite well.
Anyone else having the issue?
Any better "answers" than a non-rooted third party app.
Kind regards,
/S
I have the same issue. A5 2018 Oreo Stock ROM but as far as my memory serves me right the issue occured on Nougat as well. It looks like the proximity sensor is too sensitive... is there any tool so that we could calibrate it without any third parties? What solution works for you, s2scotty?
Does anybody has problem with proximity sensor in Android Pie?
For me it stops work after half day and only reboot helps. In Oreo I haven't this problem
I've gotten this problem during calls
Update: proximity sensor stop work in phone app. With other apps its works without problem.
Interesting. Has worked for me but I've only made a handful of calls since going to Pie.

new update: looks like I found why proximity stops work. I use Cube Call Recorder and this app after a couple calls "kills" proximity sensor in dialer app. I removed Cube and now everything ok.
I'm having this problem too, but I don't have any sort of call recording app. Randomly it just refuses to put the screen to sleep when I'm on a call. Really frustrating.
Same issue here, since few days I have notice that the proximity sensor during phone calls will not turn off the screen, only reboot restores sensor functionality that's annoying, also I have this pixel 2xl for 2weeks this is an irritating issue. Hope help comes soon.
P.S
No new software has been installed on this phone that I have not used on my previous phones essential ph1 and Samsung Galaxy S8.
Cheers.
Couldn't find this thread earlier.
I'm also facing the same issue now. Android Pie.
Anyone found a Solution?
#5 was my problem
I just noticed my lift to wake had stopped working.
Ran a sensor test and Accelerometer, gyroscope and compass were all reporting nothing.
Rebooted the phone and all working again !! It maybe a firmware issue or a hardware fault who knows.
Interesting! I'll keep an eye out for this issue - I haven't had this happen (yet).
