I was looking for an adjustment(i assume it is a registry edit) that would allow me to increase the sensitivity of the light or proximity sensor. I'm not sure which one governs the screen turning itself off during calls when it is up to your ear but I am having a problem with hitting buttons and especially turning the phone into airplane mode during calls.
Thanks for any help.
The proximity sensor is behaving very inconsistently. Having frequent call drops and the loudspeaker coming on and so on...
Is there any way to recalibrate the proximity sensor?
how to disable that feature it basically prevents upper speaker from ringing whenever the proximity sensor is coverd
My screen doesnt go off (when kept on ear) when I answer or make a call. I cleaned the proximity sensor as well.
Any ideas?

I recently find out that my S9 keep emitting IR from the proximity sensor, is that normal or it's something not right happening on my phone.
P/s: I did some Google and found out that S9 has 2 proximity sensors, but why it has to be two of them but not one like other phones?
Also the IR led on the video below can only be seen via a surveillance camera, not via other phone's camera.

I have CCTV on my house and at night when people walk past using their phone you can see the same thing, probably for the "Block accidental touches in a dark place", as the screen off when making a call 'should' only activate the IR when you are on a call
Also if you are playing a voice message on WhatsApp and put your hand too close the to proximity sensor it stops the playback
Phone camera as an IR block filter to filter out IR, although you can still see TV Remotes IR with it
Thank you for your comment, but event when I turn that function off, the IR still blinking.
I know I may just being over-thinking but it's bugging me still.
Even though I could not see it blinks but I still know it's blinking always without any explanation.
Easy screen turn on
I finally know the reason why.
It's the "Easy screen turn on" feature that keep the proximity sensor emitting IR.
Once turn it off, the sensor no longer emits IR.
