Hi my problem is strange. After a fall mi phone HTC GRATIA is similar HTC Aria have a problem during the call. Sometimes the display became black similar a stand by and not answer to the all impulse. If i want stop the call i have to do remove the battery.....
Have you any help for me ?
thank you
I've got a similar problem. I've replaced my digitizer and done everything by the instructions I've found. However the proximity sensor doesn't work and disable the screen when calls are answered.
I've got the rubber gasket on the light sensor, didn't lost it, and the light sensor works OK. I've tried prying very gently in between the digitizer and the housing, and while I do that sometimes the proximity sensor will show a value of 3.5in, and not 0 as always. I'm using AndroSensor.
I don't mind disassembling the phone again, but I don't know what I need to fix it.
I've searched all the forum posts about it, but either people disabled it somehow, and others just say they fix it but didn't mention how.
Any help on this?

You need to get the light sensor, gasket, and the small window in the digitizer all lined up perfectly so that the light sensor is not being blocked by anything. Not as easy as it sounds.
thanks for the explanation, but is the best way to do this?
and why the light sensor shouldn't be blocked? it seems by AndroSensor that it works fine, the problem is with the proximity sensor.
These phones where manufactured by the thousands per day in some factory, there sure is a way to assemble them precisely somehow.

If it is blocked, then it will not be able to sense anything (It's like you (the light sensor in this case) are trying to through a wall (whatever's blocking it)).

Special machines used to place them accurately.
I meant that the light sensor is "blocked" by the rubber gasket and seems to works fine.
by the way, as far as I know, most electronics are assembled by hand. laptops, iphones and ipads are, so I don't think that Aria is any different.
If anyone has any tips on how to do this, since I'm sure I someone has managed to replace the digitizer on this phone? how do they do this in repair shops or AT&T store?

The ambient light sensor and the proximity sensor are two separate things, though they are right next to each other on the Aria. The proximity sensor is MUCH more sensitive to being precisely aligned.
I incorrectly used the term "light sensor" in my earlier post. The proximity sensor, NOT the ambient light sensor, is responsible for turning the screen off during calls.

That's what I assumed you were talking about.
As I've said the proximity sensor is the right sensor and the ambient light is the left sensor that is covered with the rubber gasket.
The light sensor works perfectly as I've said. In AndroSensor at least it jumps between 33 LUX when covered and 77 LUX and 220 LUX when placed directly under a desk lamp.
But the proximity sensor doesn't seem to respond at all. What perfectly aligned means, that the sensor is right below the "hole" in the digitizer plastic? if I place the digitizer and it falls into the place, how come it isn't aligned? it's not like the digitizer has where to move in the frame.

I have two Arias and they both max out at 698 lux. If you can't get it to go above 220, it might be partially obstructed.

Do you notice a gap between the LCD and digitizer that is larger than it was from the factory? I wonder if it might just be related to the digitizer sitting too far from the proximity sensor. If you press down on the top right corner of the digitizer while in a call (without covering the sensor itself), will the screen turn back on?
Possibly unrelated, but similar.
I have an identical issue with the DroidX.
It needs a "gasket" over its proximity "light source" to keep light from reaching the proximity light sensor when there is nothing in front to reflect it back.
Looks like the light source had a rubber hood over it with a pinhole directed straight out, away from the sensor adjacent to it. Thus keeping stray light from triggering the sensor.
AAARGH. To have that little rubber piece.

after replacing another screen and this time I've done it right, this is what I've learned.
I've assembled the phone with androsensor turned on and tested the sensors all the time. It seems that they should be perfectly clean (some air spray will do just fine), perfectly aligned with the holes in the digitizer and don't have to much distance between the digitizer and the sensors.
It's seems like a hassle but actually it's not, since if you put the right tape and put the keep it all clean, it can work with no problems at all. Make sure you test everything before you close the phone completely.
Bought z5 compact
EBay the screen on proximity sensor is lifting so they sensor is on always
Also a model that cannot be bl unlocked so stuck in situation any ideas going rate to replace a proximity sensor any info appreciated
In the service menu: *#*#7378423*#*# in the dialer, for this device I have found that Hall element sensor is an option to be tested however when I test it nothing happens. Holding a magnet or a case with a magnet does nothing. I wouldnt imagine that option being there if there was no such sensor within the device. The option was never apparent on my Z2 which I believe didnt have the sensor which would make sense. The Z3 has the sensor and thats a much older device than the X. I would imagine there would be a sensor embeded in this device. If possible could anyone see if it works for them. If not could the feature be enabled in a ROM or kernel? Thanks
I am coming this phone from Huawei P9 that has got Hall Sensor so i am looking for my habits....
I used active flip cover case and my calling screen was different when my phones cover opened and closed on Huawei P9 and i can lock my phone with open and close covers front part.
But i learned that, Redmi Note 8 hasnt got hall sensor and i am having some difficulties...
There is some cover accessories on some shopping websites that look like doing hall sensors job (i think they uses proxymity sensor instead of hall sensor) with an app...
Can they work with those programs with using proxymity sensor with covers instead of hall sensor? (i know they are different but may be act like each other)
Sorry for my bad English but i hope i can describe what i mean...
Hello,
I know that most of website report that the mi10 has a barometer inside ( pressure sensor ), but back in the days they also did for the pocophone, and when i received mine, there was no barometer for my paragliding app...
So, could some mi10 owner be kind enough to send a screenshot of the sensor tab in the CPU-Z app, so i can be sure, and i will also know what kind of pressure sensor it is ( bosch bmp285 perhaps ).
Thanks,
Regards,
here it is
Thx... But i can't see anything attached
As you guessed, it has that Bosch sensor ?
thx, that's exactly what i needed
Hello,
how can you add barometer
Thank you
By buying the right phone
