Hello,
I bought a Redmi 1s online and from the very first day, the proximity sensor doesn't work well, whenever I made a call, after putting the phone near my face, the screen goes dark as normal but it sometimes just won't turn back on. I tried calibrating it through *#*#64663#*#*, I was able to calibrate fine 2 times, but after putting a screen guard on, the sensor became buggy again.
*I've tried flashing different ROM's which doesn't help
*I've removed the screen guard and still buggy
*I cannot calibrate the sensor anymore and just fails
*I've tested the sensor with a 3rd party app from play store and it seems to work fine in that app.
I'm currently out of ideas, can anyone help me?
PS: Sometimes, the screen goes off right after hitting the call button and wont turn back on until the call ends.

Yes problem with proximity sensor was their and because it was on base rom so it reflected in other roms too. Currently i am not experiencing it in miui 6. So either try miui v50 (Latest official stable update) or try miui 6.
Again its a software problem and will be solved.
Hi, my 5x proximity sensor is not working.
screen stays on when in calls and is really annoying.
I`ve used aida64 and the sensor doesnt register and stays on 5cm.
I`m on latest stock nougat.
Any ideas or is the sensor dead?
You provided little information to go from.
Version? Using a special Rom? Update recently? Device get wet? any other changes or you just noticed this?

Hi!!!
I have exactly the same error.
Momentarily, in accessibility set the power key, hang up the call. This setting allows you to hang up the call with the display off

Is there a code for service menu on 5X to test the sensor?
I`ve tried google but the only code I found that works is *#*#4636#*#* and that has no tests.

The proximity sensor repair, this is very simple. And usually solved in 1 d
Tips: connect or pair handsfree prevents shutdown ...
Damn sensor, whatsapp audios .... these turn off my screen.
My phone 2 repairs. Of plate and .... continue

I have updated OxygenOS to 4.0.1 and now I have problem with proximity sensor during call (on 4.0 I haven't noticed that).
Firstly, there was a problem with changing volume during call. There is also problem that screen doesn't turn off when I keep it right next to my face and I'm during call. Also there is a problem that screen turned off while in call and when I took it away from my face, it turned on after few seconds.
Anyone on 4.0.1 having the same problem? I thought OP fixed this problem on that version but I'm having it. Maybe I should do something to fix that (dirty flashed from 4.0, maybe I should clean something or try wiping system and flashing 4.0.1 on top of that?
I'm having the same problem on 3.2.8, and had it ever before. Maybe you just didn't notice it till now?
Proximity sensor is bugged on this thing from MM times. Sometimes it works and other time, it doesn't

It would be more widely reported if that were true, never had an issue with proximity sensor on 3.2.8 or 4.0

I'm on 4.0.1 don't have a single issue so not sure what you want me to tell you. Best solution is backup and reset device

Like I said mate, sometimes it worked but it never bugged me to the point of frustration so ignored it.
I am facing the proximity sensor issue too. when on call the screen is switched on and many keys are pressed. sometimes by accident even the airplane mode is switched on.
this is constantly a problem with OP3 even in 4.1.3. very poor software support. I think now that are focused only on op5.
No it's not a proximity sensor problem, it's a OnePlus dialer app bug.
There are several bug reports in OnePlus forums about this issue and in one of them they say it will be patched in next version of OOS (I assume stable not tried with new open beta which installs new dialer) so if you don't want to wait, for me the solution that works it's to install Google dialer app from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-how-to-install-google-dialer-phone-t3443006
I recommend to follow all steps in the first post to install it without problems and you won't have this issue anymore.
Hope it helps you.
Un saludo
Has anyone any idea when this will be fixed by oneplus? It is driving me mad, nearly every call gets interrupted by my ear pressing a button turning on the light etc.
I want to keep my phone stock so cannot use the google dialler tip posted above. Thanks
After the update I'm having trouble with the proximity sensor. It stops suddenly. Usually when I put the smartphone in the pocket. It was perfect before 172 firmware. Anybody notice anything? Any tips? I have the EVRL29. I also made a factory reset.

Hey, you can use the APP that comes with your phone to check if the proximity sensor fails.
How to open it: HiCare-Service-Smart diagnosis-Auto
Good luck
Thanks, But everything's fine with the sensor as Hicare. I don't believe it's a hardware problem, but I don't know what I can do about the system.

Do you have a black screen when you are talking?
When the sensor is locked, no. Sometimes the screen turns black immediately when I get the phone call. That is, the sensor is locked. Passing the finger over the sensor a few times, it unlocks and goes back to work.
Having the same issue. I thought it was because of Drupe (am using it instead of default dialer). Weirdly, proximity sensor activates even before attending the call sometimes and am not able to do anything. Just let the call ring it out and then have to call back as even locking/unlocking doesnt work.
have upgraded to version 184 and the problem continues. I don't know what to do. Disappointment with Huawei

Are you using full cover tempered glass screen protector?
Unfortunately I'm not ?
I don't know if it is updated firmware bug or hardware failure. My friend's phone has this problem too, and even worse when dialing or listening to voice SMS in FB messenger, the screen was off until the voice finished. I thought it was full cover screen protector; however, it was not after I suggested him to take off the screen protector, and the problem still persisted. Anyway he told me there was not any problem before updating.

I'm not, and it's clean. It works until I put it in my pocket, then it gets stuck.
Today I realized one thing, if I touch the screen where the sensor is for more than 2 seconds, it hangs. If I stay near, it works ?

My friend just sold his mate 20x with proximity sensor error and bought a new one with the same firmware version 9.0.0.184. The new one worked functionally with its proximity sensor. I think that his previous mate 20x had proximity sensor hardware's problem, not dead but not functional.
Ich have the same issue with a P30 Pro New Edition. I hope it's a hardware issue and the replacement unit will be fine.
I have seen some reviews about the issue of proximity sensor and turning on the screen during calls ,
Did Xiaomi solve it ?
or
I want to ask if this issue is severe .
sorry for my bad english
thanks in advance
I didn't have any issue with proximity sensor, others say they did... Sincerely i think that they're just holding phone against their head wrong while talking...
Issue exist. Wife and son have problems with screen turning on and off. I watch them while talking. Without any movement of cell phone or head, screen turns on. So, calinorg, you are wrong.

Hi, you can try to calibrate the sensor by tapping several times on kernel version in Settings and see if it works.
Good luck,

I think I've heard somewhere that there is a slight problem with the proximity sensor but that was due to it being ultrasonic rather than infrared. I'm not sure but may be that might be the reason.
hi all,
I have a Mi 10T, Indian version(MIUI Global 12.0.5.0 Stable). I have faced this issue from time to time too.
I did something that helped, I cleaned the LED indicator light hole and ear piece opening, using a bubble gum(please watch a few youtube videos on how to do that and do not get any residue of gum stuck in). Then as said above calibrated the sensor from kernel version settings.
Before the clean up, 6/10 calls I faced this nagging issue. Post clean up, its like 1/10 calls , and mostly that one call is usually whatsapp voice call this happens with and not the google phone app.
hope this helps you guys too.
EDIT : P.S. Are people with stock MIUI dailer/phone and messaging app facing this issue too? Kindly mention your phone's ROM version, I am planning to Install Indonesia version of stock MIUI Rom for my device, to get back Stock MIUI Dialer/Phone and messaging app.
Also, I kind of have a feeling that Google phone and messaging app are not optimised for MIUI ROM and/or this device.

It has nothing to do with Google phone app, sensor is ultrasonic and it is a bit iffy from time to time...

Him I have the very same issue.
Let's admit, Xiaomi note 8 pro is ****.
I've proximity issues and headphone connector issues.
The phone price is great, the quality is not there. Simply it's a big nightmare .
What a big disappoinment.
The issue exists for sure. What a piece of garbage is this phone. :-(
at home the problem appears when I switch the screen to 120hz and disappears at 60hz, it is the 120hz mode that causes concern the infrared sensor does not follow
