Hi
Few days ago i noticed that proximity sensor on my galaxy s2 doesn't work properly and screen during calls stays on. Today i found out that proximity sensor turned into red (but static..not blinking). I also use sensor test apps and sensor just turned on and it detect nothing. Does anyone have idea how to resolve this problem?
Thanx and sorry for my bad english

You can reflash your ROM or change it, maybe it is problematic or the flash didn't go well.
I already done that and problem is still same.

Did you try to take the battery out of the device for a few minutes?

I did too, but still the same. I do not know what else can be done, it is strange that lights, so I think that is not broken.

Just installed the update about an hour ago and I noticed during the last two calls recieved that when I bring my phone up to my ear, my screen does not turn off. Anyone know if the update broke the proximity sensor, or could I have a setting messed up?

I did the update and my prox sensor works fine.

No issues with mine either.
Yes, I noticed the same thing. I "fixed" it by going to Settings> Display> In-Pocket Detection and turning it off. It solved the problem and stayed solved even when I turned it back on. Hope this works for you and others as well.

I had to reboot after turning off the in pocket detection.. after that the problem was solved.
Good Find !
Thanks! I'll give that a try.

In pocket detection has never worked for me. Anyone else experienced this?

I just bought SSGS2 last week, and i noticed that when i make a call, this the red light will be blinking/flashing. When I compare it to other SSGS2, all of which will have a red light on when make a phone call (not blinking/flashing).
So I was wondering if anyone had the blinking light?
As far as I am concerned, it does not affect usage just yet.
But who knows...it might be a sign of inferior sensor.
Thank you.

Use your phone in the dark, you will see a very dim red glow where the proximity sensor is.
Thank you.
Should it be blinking? or stay on while calling?
Mine is blinking. Those of my friends stay on
can some one please advise, Proximity Sensor should be Blinking/Flashing or solid On when you are on call?
It's blinking for me as well... Why are you guys so paranoid. Is it working? Yes it is.
It blinks extremely quickly, seems like 20 times a second. I can in indoors lighting clearly.

not paranoid mate, just want to find out if this is normal, yes so far this is not affecting performance.
Well my so called proximity sensor "red dot" keeps flickering while in standby/phone locked. I understand it's suppose to be on while on a call etc. but what when the phone is lying idle?
same problem!

I have the exact same problem since yesterday.. have u solved it ? pls help!! it's really annoying
kindly email me if you have method to solve it . [email protected]
I dont know if this is relevant but I've had both the i9100 and the i9100G. On the G variant the blinking of the proximity sensor was pronounced and noticeable.. whereas on the international variant I've never yet noticed it blinking or staying on. Maybe you have the G variant?

If you have Viber, uninstall it! I had that issue few days back. actually I just uninstalled it because it was draining my juice but the then after getting rid of the viber app my proximity sensor was no longer blinking like crazy.
Since I dont use Viber I unistall it.

I am having some problems with the proximity Sensor of My Razr XT 910...
Sometimes the sensor just wont activate In call leaving my display powered On resulting in unwanted taps...This has happened 3 times since I got my phone a couple of weeks back...
Once the sensor knocks off the only way to get it to work again is by restarting the phone...
Anybody else faced this problem with the Razr..
No... If it was a hardware problem I would tend to to think it would do it every time.

Have you tried cleaning the screen? Do you have a case on it that might be overshadowing the sensor? Bubble under the screen protector?

Yes, me. Exactly the same problem.
The problem disappears after rebooting...
Try turning off "in pocket detection"
It's in settings/screen/
This causes the sensor to be on 100% of the time, which might be a problem.
Otherwise, try updating if you haven't.

Tried both before posting. No result.
... edit...
Same problem here. Tried both too, but whem listening to music with device in pocket it pause /play/stop and change music like crazy.
I am rooted, and currently runny no-name ROM but rom doesnt seem to matter. My proximity senser is giving me issues. Testing it showed that if i cover it it will recognize it but then is stuck not sensing me removing it. I dont have any case or screen glass that is covering it. Anybody else having this issue?
Yes I have had this issue since day 1. Stock not rooted

Have had the same issue since day one, 11/10/15. Not rooted. Aside from an ok battery life, this is the only problem I have with the LGV10.
i have this problem also.. its happening more and more when hanging up a call. I have to press the back button to get the screen back on.

Hello. I have weird problem on my Lg V10 H901. On 2 to 3 days it happens for both screens to turn off, and you can't wake up the phone with double touch or with power button. And I'm sure that the phone is working because I can feel vibration feedback when I press and hold power button to go in to power menu. The cure is to pull off the battery and put back on and start the phone. For two or three times it happens to show white screen with little colored dots on it when you power on the phone. Otherwise the phone works normal. . No glitches, no heating, nothing. It just go off when it sits on desk and won't came back till you pull off the battery. I don't believe it's a screen because when it happens the both screens go off. Could it be the motherboard, processor or memory, or it's something wrong with proximity and light sensor? Any suggestions?
I had this problem as well until my proximity and light sensor completely stopped working. The sensor is not detected anymore but the issue stopped after.
I don't know about the cause but it could be because of proximity and light sensor.

Thanks for the reply. I am suspecting proximity and light sensor also. I am thinking to order a new one, it's like 9$.

By the way, I feel it is better without proximity and light sensor. Many problems were fixed after it was obsolete.

I am used to automatic light. Anyway I have ordered a sensor from eBay for 6,50$ so we will see.
