i'm having problems with my proximity sensor. in the middle of a call, the screen lights up suddenly even when i got the phone pressed hard against my ear. is there an app that can fix this issue?
I would like to know this as well, my sensor seems to have a mind of it's own whilst I'm on the phone.

As we all know by now, "The HD2 includes a variety of sensors including a Proximity Sensor that is used to prevent false screen touches when the phone is picked up to answer or make a call. A Light Sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display..."
The subject matter of this thread is the Proximity Sensor, meaning, when you receive a call and put the phone to your ear, the screen supposed to turn off so you won't accidentally hang up or open other application by touching the screen with your face. The Proximity Sensor of my phone worked perfectly. However, couple of days ago the Proximity Sensor stopped functioning and I'm wonder what could have caused that. I'm picking up the phone, talk on the phone and the screen is fully lit. I remember that, one day, I calibrated the screen... Could that have been the cause?
Anyway, does anyone know how to turn the Proximity Sensor on or, if it is on, how to make it work properly?
Thank you.
Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor. It does not always dial when I raise the phone to my ear to make a call. It seems to only work occasionally. Any help is appreciated

Sorry if you're more technically inclined than this response credits you to be, but have you tried getting a can of compressed air and a microfiber cloth to clean out the top of your phone? Around the area where the sensor is?
On every phone I've had and seen people have this problem with, this has always been the solution.
Also the act of dialing out the phone call is not tied to the proximity sensor at all. That's all telephony. Unless you're talking about some kind of motion gesture, then that shouldn't matter.
There's a samsung ?motion? under settings
motion settings allow for quick dialing a contact on the screen by holding phone up to ear when they are displayed some combination of accelerometer, prox sensor, and contact on screen is supposed to dial.
Mine is stock, has the option enabled, but doesn't seem to autodial as expected or at all I guess.
Oddly, under AndroSensor app from play store, prox shows 3.1" or 0 but nothing else (almost binary) ... screen does turn off right away when I make a normal call and hold up to my ear.
Odd.
Hello!
The proximity sensor on my mate 10 pro seems to be very sensitive ,just slightly moving the phone when I am I the middle of a phone call and I accidentally put the call on hold , bring up the numeric pad ,mute the call or just hang up out of nowhere.
Is there a way to calibrate the proximity sensor? I tried the proximity sensor doctor app to recalibrate the sensor but without luck.
Hi,
The fingerprint animation while screen is locked appears every time except when the phone is vertically upside down or when the phones screen is fully covered from top to the level of power button(I guess some proximity sensor is used to make this happen).
But exactly where is this sensor??
I am not able to find an app which connects with the proximity sensor of our phone. Any app?
Just curious
I didn't realize before but lately the screen doesn't turn off when I use the phone then my cheek starts touching the screen and ends up a mess, how can I check is the proximity sensor is working or of I accidentally turned it off?
