Proximity sensor not working

Hey guys i need help on Proximity Calibrator 1.6
it can't seen to work
what does it mean "try Proximity Sensor Recalibrator 1.6 (without the ps_polling_ignore.diff.txt patch)"
sorry i'm noob

^^ exactly the same problem here,,
in order to run proximityrecalibrator app, u need to root the phone

[Q] accelerometer problem.

Hi guys I have a problem with gio's accelerometer, i found out about this in a game: by entering *#0*# and going to sensor I noticed: while the phone is lying down still on a level surface with no vibrations accelerometer data is changing and it never stops. It is not important in normal use but in some apps and games this is realy a problem.
So any solution?

ok ...removed.!!!

Try to go Settings->Display->Horizontal calibration
Or try to change the ingame titl sensivity
On my phone accelerometer data also chanching but really a little bit.

Demanding much?
You come on a volunteer, community-based forum and complain because you haven't been answered within two days?
What troubleshooting and testing have you done?
Is it on all axis?
Does toggling the different radio have an effect?
There could very well be issues with your Gio alone.
This could also be a problem with a driver for which we don't have a source to look at.

sorry to say that,I had a bad day.
well yes. I tried anything and it is the same.
I wonder if this is because of hardware.
even in htc hero accelerometer works better than this.

[Request] Modification which disables proximity sensor during call

I have great request to developers: Can anyone create zip package which will disable proximity sensor during calls (this option exist in MIUI roms). It could be resolve a problem which concerns a lot of galaxy nexus's users from this thread:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=37485
If someone knows something about similar mod, please write it here.

This is what I use to disable proximity sensor. [FIX]Proximity Sensor (In-call) issue - xda-developers http://bit.ly/13rRmft

Light sensor?

Is the light sensor present and disabled or is it totally absent?

R: Light sensor?
Use q & a thread..please..

Please search before you create new threads! Something like this has already been discussed before!

Yes? I've searched in general section and I haven't found any answer. So is it totaly absent?

no it is not present, but there are no drivers for it to work

I have made some analysis regarding light sensor in ACE 2 if someone is interested:

To be precise: We have and we have not Ambient Light Sensor. [...] From hardware perspective TMD 2672 can act like proximity sensor and ALS, but not at the same time. From software perspective it is proximity sensor. Ambient Light Sensor is much simpler to be made due fact, it does not need IR diode and Prox control/integration block.
ADC and Data block are the same for both of them.

How to solve proximity sensor issue

I recently had an issue regarding the proximity sensor on my DHD and I tried many different ROMs and calibration apps but none of them worked. Seems like the problem is the dirt that blocks the way of the sensor. I cleaned the grill from the dirt and everything is now OK. Hope I helped someone.

Hi have you tested the proximity calibrator app?
Setup of proximity sensor isnt the main goal of roms...
Look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858
Set values, test it if the sensor shows "near" or "far" or adjust it more.
My DHD needs LOW = 2; HIGH = 3; and it works...
oh , and in Cyanogenmod 11 by mustaavalkosta, its already installed i think.

Yep spot on. CM11 comes with it.
Low 3 and High 5 works best for me.

I think you missed the point. The entire idea of his post was to let you know that his issue was dirt in front of the sensor.

That's what I had to do in the end as well. Remember that these phones first came out in Oct. 2010 (when I got mine ....!!) so plenty of time for dirt to build up. Check the Proximity Sensor thread for links on disassembly but I followed this site ... http://www.beardeddonkey.com/home/comments.php?y=12&m=04&entry=entry120428-040327 ... to take mine apart. Not all of it, just far enough to clean out the PS. All good after that.

thanks for the tip
i need clean my sensor

thanks man !! been modifying thresholds using Proximity Recalibrator forever with no avail ... i don't know how i forgot about cleaning the sensors :silly: :silly: you made my day !! thank you a bunch !!!!

That easy..?
