Hi guys, after Nougat update on my SM-A720F proximity sensor stooped working.
When i make a call screen isn't off, it stays normal, I tried calibration app from google play, it helps for one or two calls and then screen stays on again.
There were no issues on previous firmware, i regret that i updated my phone. Guys help me, i don't want to play with firmwares, untill it's a safe way to go on previous (Android 6)
Thanks!
It happens on A5 2017 too. Restart your phone and it will work again. 7.0 isn't really perfect, still got a few bugs/glitches.

I have been hard resting my phone over and over again, sometimes it fixes it but after 2-3 hours the proximity sensor and rotate stop working all together, I have been attempting to flash my phone because I think it's a software issue, this started randomly happening for no reason, I was on lolipop before but i decided to update my phone to see if it fixes the issue. I tried to recalibrate my rotate sensor but the option is not there when it stops working. I am on t-mobile and I have no warranty, i bought this device off ebay. My OS is marshmallow 6.0.0.
Is there a fix to this issue or something?

Hi, I have nexus 2013 with Android 6.0.1, since this update and issue came all along and I don't know why!
My WiFi, is intermittent, it disconnects and reconnects all the time
All my other sensors are not working anymore, like auto rotation and gyro
screen sometimes is not being responsive, unless I turn it off couple of times
is it a software issue or my unit is dud? it used to work perfectly for couple of years though.
Yup same here!
Ditto on the rotation working intermittently. Works for a minute after restarting then stops working until I reboot. My wifi is solid though.
I am having the exact same issues as OP, doesn't matter which rom/stock.

I'm in the same situation but I'm not using stock rom. I'm using a custom RR Nougat Rom for almost 2 years, everything was working nice until this happened. WIFI either stops entirely stops working or works intermittently, and auto rotate doesn't work. I downloaded a sensors app from play store to see if they were actually working or not, to my surprise it says no sensors detected. I panicked and did a hard reset, and then it stucks at bootloop (can't get past the four dots, may be the ROM can't find sensors). Flashed countless custom ROMS, stock rom (6.1, 5.0), but still no dice. But then when I was about to give up, I thought I would give the stock rom 4.3 a final try and magically, my nexus successfully boots up with all the sensors working perfectly. Then I re flashed the custom rom back to my device in which all the sensors are working fine (ORIENTATION, GYRO...).
So may be go back to STOCK ROM 4.3 and then see if the problem persists. I see a lot of 6.0 people are facing these issues.
Good luck!
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
Hi every one < I need some help from your side please
I have Moto G5 Plus it was lost imie on the official rom , so I flashed pixel experience android 10 rom and its working fine
but the problem that I faced now is : the phone screen turn off during the calls and never wake-up till the other called turn off the call
I downloaded many apps like xposed and many others without any changes
I tried the proximity counter app , the sensor is working and counting properly
Note : sometimes the sensor is working properly without any app
Any solutions please ??
i am also riding the same boat , it started from stock oreo in my case, currently i am on aicp 15 (maybe coz the device is almost 3 yrs old now, its sensor started giving erroneous results)
