[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
OK. I got my ICS update from Rogers and this smartphone picked up its speed. Fun!

Battery life is about the same - poor but I've learned to live with it. Extra batteries!!

However, I can't stand the 'phone' function of this smart phone. This might sound like me bashing Galaxy note but I swear to you this is a legitimate issue I'm having with this device. So bear with me and please help me if you can.

Issue:

Often when I dial someone and put the phone against my face, the phone buttons on screen will get pressed by my face. This is especially worse if I had keypad screen activated than regular dialling screen.

This is really a big issue especially when you are trying to get pass the automated system because after you input the correct choice, your face will start pressing all kinds of button eventually the automated system tells me they can't understand my response.

(I try to get by with speaker or headset but that's not always the available option. I often need to put the phone against my face, the traditional way.)

No other touch screen device had any issue with my face/skin. Is my galaxy note's proximity sensor broken?

FYI- I noticed when I was on stock GB, the phone always had this issue where when I take the phone away from my face, it took about 2 second for the screen to comeback on. Sometimes it blinks couple of times, not knowing whether screen should be on or off. Honestly, I can't confirm that this is gone since ICS update... only had ICS for short time.

But now I'm having a issue of pressing all kinds of button while talking to someone. This isn't fun for me or for the person on the other line.

With iPhone it was really simple:

close to my face -> screen off

away from my face -> screen on

I need this to work :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
You can test the proximity sensor by holding your finger over it. Take the phone away from your face when you're in a call and put your finger over the proximity sensor to see if the screen turns off.

You could also test it with Smart Screen Off:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.android.smartscreenoff

I haven't had any problems with my proximity sensor, at all.

EDIT: To clarify studacris' post below this one, I had accidentally quoted the entire OP. He's not calling out the OP, he was calling out me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Was it really necessary to quote the novella that is the op?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Hey thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention I'm one of the user who is also having issue with smart screen off.

It could be type of case I'm using or the app also but now with phone issue I described in the previous post makes me think it's the device.

Also I read from the app review by users and many Note users trying to use this app are complaining it's not working for them....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
What's wrong with me describing my exact issue? Trust me I don't talk about my phone problems on my personal journal... I don't know about you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phailyoor:
try making a call and putting your finger near the proximity sensor, just right of the speaker. If the screen does not turn off, you probably have a defective phone and should get it replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deadman_raziel:
Yea, seems that if you post positions that are NOT exactly what others believe, you're just being a whiney pain in the butt, where as the general discussion forum is for just that GENERAL concerning the device. So this user has a crappy experience, guess what?? There are MORE of us that were true believers of this device until Samsung & AT&T put out software that completely disables features and makes certain features of the phone worthless. Personally, I didn't have an issue with the proximity sensor, mine was the GPS that went to crap after the ICS update, as well as the leaks that were put out. NOTHING that they (AT&T/Samsung) leaked or released for ICS for this phone has given reliable GPS functionality.

So yea, if you want to gripe, gripe on, if you don't have anything contributing to say, don't post. Just being stupid and snide to keep your post count high is pathedic. And if people take offense to anything I say, Oh well. If the shoe fits, I'll smack you with it and then shove it up your butt to remind you of the lesson.

Good day & good luck with your issue on the note. Mine is being resolved. AT&T is shipping me an HTC One X given I've had 3 different Samsung devices in under a year and ALL have been crippled by software updates from AT&T/Samsung. So not MY problem they can't update the device and keep it functional. Not taking referb, not using my warantee, NOTHING like that, they have replaced with NEW devices. So now I have a Skyrocket, Note, and the One X all in under a year and didn't pay for anything but the ORIGINAL phone on my contract, the Infuze 4G.

Just be firm, courteous, and you can get results from AT&T. It's well documented some of the issues since ICS (Especially the GPS), and they are seeing that the software isn't ready for prime time yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
hey, so the proximity sensor isnt working for you for sure? Also it doesnt happen to be a white note does it? Im asking because some iphone white replacement screens do the same thing. Has you screen been replaced? have you tried a factory reset? Im just thinking here..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] byron84:
Some people just have no life. They give you some lame comment implying you shouldn't be posting or your post was a waste of space here, yet their own post was utterly useless and takes up space without contributing a thing. Pay no attention to such asshattery.

I can't say that I've had any issue like this with my Note. Seems to work exactly as expected. It definitely sounds like an issue with the sensor since it appears to have affected you across different OS versions. If I were you I'd bring the phone in for repair.

Sorry I can't be more helpful and good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Usually I try not to, but the XDA 2013 template automatically does if you click the reply at the bottom of a post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gr4vity225:
My GPS has suffered too. I use my phone to track my cycling rides and sometimes it takes 5-8 mins to find my location. This is after the ics update. After the initial locate it is fairly good using My Tracks .

Haven't had any problems with the proximity sensor.

I have had blackberries, hd7, hd2, radar, iPhones, and more. I haven't had a phone I enjoy as much as this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
I have a black note without any screen protector... I just tried finger test someone suggested above and it works fine. One thing g I noticed was when speaker is on, and the proximity sensor becomes inactive.. But I think that's normal. So my phone's sensor is ok?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Oh cool. Threatening people you'll never meet behind a keyboard.

I'm not sure what's wrong with it GPS. Mine has been flawless on GB and leaked ICS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phailyoor:
If the sensor is working, then just aim the top of the phone to touch your face first. If you touch the middle of the screen before the proximity sensor registers, then it won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
OP, don't mind the smartasses. Some people can't help cluttering the forum with their dumb editorial comments, lol.

Anyway, I never had the problem you describe on Gingerbread, and haven't seen lots of reports, so I'm guessing it's probably a wonky sensor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Hmmmm. this could be it. Maybe I'm so eager to talk before listening. LOL. I will keep this in mind. Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Lucky for me.....I have a bluetooth and don't worry about these issues. I know what you're saying though, sometimes if I move the phone from my face and back quick it gets to where the screen won't turn back on during the call unless i wipe my finger across the sensor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yayodroid:
i believe its fine unless you had to cover a great amount of area. it is such a large phone to with at times. you use it on the right side of your head? yea i would do more test runs to insure that you are covering it up. i think the speaker thing is normal though, but i never use it so can't be certain. btw the issues the white iphones i had was solved by taking a little piece of electrical tape and poking two small holes and putting it over the prox sensor. the issue was that the glass was letting in too much light in. the sensor was still doing its job, but couldn't properly because the amount of light being let in.

Not trying to be argumentative, but why would you close a potentially useful thread just because some people behave like jerks? Wouldn't it make more sense to discipline the people causing the problem? It tends to be the same folks every time.

it wasnt because it was off topic. he said play nice as in. no Cyber bickering
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Yeah, I phrased that poorly and have edited my post to clarify what I mean.

I'm just getting tired of the same posters derailing discussions with unnecessary editorial comments. The internet tough-guy comment was out of line, but so are all the smartass comments that provoked it.

Not trying to tell anyone how to do their job, but I wish mods wouldn't reward the hecklers and punish the people who actually do want to discuss a topic by closing threads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zelendel:
It doesnt have anything to do with being an internet tuff guy at all. Like you said I have a job to do and that includes closing threads that go too far off topic to keep things clean. If people knew how to post on Development forums that I wouldnt have to spend 6 hours every day cleaning things up which by the end of it I have no time to even do anything for my own device. So before you start to think about telling a mod how we should do it. Step back and take a look at the bigger picture.

Hecklers will always be around and are sometimes needed to a point. When it gets out of hand is when we step in. Now I could have closed this right up as I see no effort on the OP part at all. Everyone nows that it is the prox sensor that controls it. Do I see a logcat? Nope? How about any detailed info? None of that either, but did I close it? No all I said was play nice. Those that know me, know I am easy going and understand people are new, but I do have a line that is well drawn that everyone can easily see if they bother to look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] silver03wrx:
Zel is the man ( bat)

And thats 6 free hours a day dealing with . Posts in wrong sections. Disrespect attitudes. Imaturity. All for free. And still maintains a decent attitude and has patience.

My hats off to u zel. Has to be very frustraiting. And difficult not to wig out sometime
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Wow hold on there.

I'm the OP and I have to speak to you.

How do you know whether I had the proximity sensor ON on my setting or not? Did you hack into my phone settings? Like I said in the OP with quite lengthy description of my problem, I am having a legitimate issue with the sensors on my phone. You don't think I provided information and my situation properly? I'm not making MY EFFORT as someone who is trying to get help???

And sorry I don't know what a logcat is... Truly sorry for my ignorance on this part but please don't say my issue and request here was not reasonable. Also as far as I'm concerned, I played nice.. people are just asking you to moderate people who came in here attempt to start argument for no reason. Just so you know when you describe me as someone with little effort and giving me **** for not providing logcat whatever it is, what's the difference between you and those people start coming in here crapping on my thread?

I hope you think on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I guess we're not marking this as solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Did the enterweb get all serious suddenly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zelendel:
OK first I cleaned up the thread.

Second a logcat is android troubleshooting 101. It will tell you what is going on. As for the above. Yes you stated what what going on but you didn't say what steps you took to try and fix it. Remember this is a development forum. Not a support forum. Here you are expected to put in some work on your own first before posting. Now I told you what tool you need to be able to tell what is going on. A simple search will give you all the info on how to do it. As for hacking your phone I don't need to. There is no setting to whit the sensor off. Either it is a software issue or a hardware issue. Now I will leave you with the tools to give the only info that will truly help anyone help you. You also stated you were on ICS, what ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korrupt1:
I'm going to add some positive negative feedback about the note I have. First I love it and wouldn't switch it for any other phone out right now. I laugh at the tiny screen size my old galaxy s2 has. It never felt that way until I got my note however. The only problem I've been having is battery life since I arched to an lte Sim card. Whenever signal quality is poor, and I think because lte is still pretty new in Edmonton, that always searching for a better signal sends to drain the battery pretty quick. The first month I had my phone I was using my s2 Hspa+ Sim card and because the coverage was more balanced I didn't have these problems. So at work when I'm not using my phone I have to switch to airplane mode or my battery is dead halfway through the day.

Is there an option to switch your provider signal type in the settings back to hspa?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
When using stock modems there is no switch to disable the LTE searching. I wish for it too because I am not in an LTE area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
The modem has nothing to do with it, all modems are "stock" as the source for those binaries aren't released to make a custom modem with.

the toggle would be built into the Rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Ok. How hard is it to include it in a rom? Rogers ICS (or their GB) has it, but no at&t rom does. Many users wish for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
This whole thread is just a big *****ing session under the guise of trying to fix issues far beyond your control or talent level to fix.

Hi i have a desire and i tryed to flash the aokp rom and after install everything i got a black screen with aokp logo coming up again and again!

What i did wrong???

First of all i partition the sd card with Gparted

After that i download PB99IMG_stock renaming to PB99IMG and putting it to sd card!

i also put in the sd card the files: aokp_bravo_build-40 , gapps-ics-20120429-signed and mounts2sd-2.2.6_aroma.

So after that i close the mobile and press volume down+power and "update" the PB99IMG

after that without shouting down the phone i enter the recovery menu for a full wipe doing these steps:

1) Full Wipe (Factory Reset, Wipe cache, Dalvik, Format System)

2) Flash ROM (aokp_bravo_build-40)

3) Flash gapps-ics-20120429-signed and then mounts2sd-2.2.6_aroma

Finally i reboot the system and stack to the screen i told you!!

What i did wrong???

maybe i shouldn't partition the sd card to fat 32 and ext4??

any ideas??

thanks a lot!!

Hi guys,

I've been using ms2ginger 4.0 and just changed to CM10 by Quarx.

The problem is that as soon as i dial a number the screen goes dark and i could use the power button to display the screen in ms2ginger but not in the cm10 edition.

It happens atleast 9 times out of 10.

Any solution, is the screenguard culprit ?

or any fix for the sensor to work properly?

it was wrking perfectly when used the official froyo!!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defydent:
I'm on CM9 and there is a setting under "System Settings > Display" which says "In accurate proximity". See if that's in CM10 and works for you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojanx:
Thanks for your reply, in cm10 couldn't find that option moved to cm9(mig edition)

the problem is still there after checking the proximity option but not that much
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojanx:
Found a Solution

I was searching all around this place.

Found a solution that the screw just behind the proximity sensor (when you open the back panel) was a bit tight, too much i guess, just loosened that screw to a single round and it is working perfectly.

Maybe help anyone facing the same issue.

P.S. i did open my whole phone once and i guess tightened the screw too much.

[HTC EVO 3D] dunndfrnt:
I understand there is a lot of posts that address this issue, but there is so much conflicting information, I get that you need to flash the kernel otherwise it goes into a boot loop, so where do you get the kernel to match the rom, If i see a rom i like on the board and I download it how do i know what kernel it needs, is it separate than the rom, I understand how to flash the kernel just not where to get it, or how.

The kernel is included in the zip if the Rom. Open the zip file and look for boot.img. That is the kernel.
