Samsung galaxy nexus proximity sensor issue

hi,

I have the same problem.

My phone gets rebooted while in call only when i speak with the phone at my ear.

Screen goes off and deosnt come back while in call.

But if i use earphones then i dont have that problem.

I saw this solution but samsung galaxy nexus doesnt have memroy card port.

How do i solve this

Please let me know from where should I get /system/lib/hw/sensors.tuna.so and /system/lib/hw/sesnsors.goldfish.so

Thanks,

Dinesh

i have tried it on latest slimkat (see my signature), but it breaks my camera. also touch control has problem, 'cause i have had to download again the module to make it work with my kernel

edit: i have downloaded the one in first page.. (before i tried test version) and it worked :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onionstick:
This fixed the same issue that has been bugging me on my galaxy S3 for ages. I spent so much time trying to disable the proximity sensor with various apps and read some posts about it being a known fault for rooted phones... And now it works again. I am so happy :D

Props to you sir! hope others find this thread and solve their problem!

Replacing the Proximity Sensor

So what do we know so far ?

Is this a problem with the actual Proximity sensor, or with the entire mother board ? Because it's very easy ad cheap to replace just the Proximity sensor.

Will replacing the sensor completely fix the problem ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haik0:
SNAPSHOT-M7 works fine, so far !!!

It's weird but I found out that when I have "CM 11 SNAPSHOT-M7 " flashed on my device, it's not having this proximity sensor problems ... but problem occurs, as soon as I install any other latest naightky builds, as well as the official stock ROM from Google. I don't know what's this about, I'll be using the M7 farther, to see how it behaves.

I heard similar report from other person as well..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just4u32:
Any fix for nexus 5 guys?

Should be around the same idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
There isn't an appropriate zip for n5 however you can try with hardware disabler, it's free on play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Hardware_Disabler

It basically does the same thing but it needs root permissions and you have to know the code of the sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just4u32:
Would you be able to guide me/point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
Do you have root permissions on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just4u32:
Yes. Rooted and running a custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
Ok so I think you can follow this useful guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658474

Hope it can help, pay attention that you will completely disable the proximity sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
Hey guys, new app out there called "sensors" in material design, really useful to check if the proximity sensors is working (and if the fix is doing its job) and also can tell you all the infos about your sensors. Check it out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calintat.sensors

New Proximity Sensor Fix

Hey guys I made a new flashable file for the proximity sensor fix.

Changelog:

- Updated the old sensor file used in the OP

- Added a new addon.d backup file (it basically means that if you flash a new ROM without wiping system the fix will stay so you don't need to flash the fix everytime you flash a new nightly)

All credits to [MENTION=4332220]5pace[/MENTION] for the original idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haik0:
How well is this working ? Does it stops the random reboots completely or it just reduces them ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
My fix + dirtyV pre final version=no more random reboots on my gnexus c8. But basically I just updated and improved a little bit the original fix on the op.

~R. Darko~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haik0:
Are you on JellyBean ? Will it work in 4.3 (stock).

So basically this fix is disabling just the proximity sensor, ro some other sensor are being disabled too ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
I'm on cm11 (android 4.4.4) but it should work on 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, it makes same things stated in the original post: it will completely disable just the proximity sensor.

~R. Darko~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haik0:
That sounds just magical, thanks for sharing the fix ! So is the dirtyV required so it works with no problem or just flashing the fix with a stock kernel will work, too? Did you tried yourself, to use it on a stock kernel , can you confirm that it works as good as it does with dirtyV ?

Thanks

p.s. sorry for asking to many questions, I am just very excited and wanna clarify the conditions .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
This fix does the same thing of the one in the first post but it's a little better. It just replaces the sensors' lib with a custom one, so yes it works with every kernel, if your phone reboot while in call than it is not a sensor problem. However feel free to flash it and report me if there are problems but it works very well on my phone.

~R. Darko~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faizankhaan:
Regardless of whether this fix works or not, I encountered another interesting problem and it's worth mentioning here. I had this fix flashed for a long time by now and almost got used to it. The random reboots are reduced but not entirely eliminated. However, that's not the issue. With proximity sensor disabled, I got used to pressing my POWER Button for every call. I don't know how exactly it happened because I press buttons gently but somehow, my power button won't work on gentle press anymore. You have to push it harder.

I assume I may have been rough at times OR excessive use of the button caused this.

So... be gentle with your power button if you're using this fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
Yes, unfortunately the proximity sensor is used mostly for in-call screen powering so this fix forces people to use the power button frequently during call, also Galaxy Nexus power button is subject to usury.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faizankhaan:
So before it gets worse, I re-enabled it and also installed "Smart on off" to wake my phone without using the power button. Quite handy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hwli:
Thanks OP for the fix. My galaxy nexus i9250 works during call now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wasabi Ice Cream:
Would this work on 7.1.1 Nougat?

Unfortunately it does not work on my Nexus 6p .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tormidal:
So, Sprint has been updating all the S3's on their network to Jelly Bean.

Me, not having gotten the OTA Update yet, I FINALLY got the notification.

But CWM told me the verification failed, so I re-installed the stock recovery for Sprint's Galaxy S3.

And then THAT gave me this error.

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

I am still rooted, and I have a feeling that's the issue. If so, how do I unroot?

I've been trying to update my HOX to JB since yesterday but to no avail:

Im on everything stock (ROM, Recovery etc) and phone is un-rooted. I relocked the bootloader too. but when the update downloads and the phone restarts after a few while, a red triangle with exclamation marks appear and phone restarts.

I've tried to do this 3 times now with no avail.

alternately i've been trying to follow this and when i reach the flashing firmware part, it fails after 2 tries and after the 3rd it just stucks:

C:\fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

sending 'zip' (12875 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.683s]

writing 'zip'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.886s

after 3rd attempt it just stays in sending 'zip' state

anyone got a clue how i can solve either problem?! :/

note

my camera app is a modified version. rest all ROM is stock. could this be the issue?! if so, then any way to resolve this other than RUU method?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The last method you tried will not work if the bootloader is still locked !
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
The red triangle is normally an indication that you do not have the stock recovery. Try to reflash recovery and then fastboot erase cache before trying again, You would need to unlock bootloader in order to fastboot flash recovery. As pointed out in my other reply to you, you would probably need to revert to the stock camera app as well.

Using the fastboot flash zip method, you need to have a locked bootloader and then enter command fastboot oem rebootRUU before running the fastboot flash zip command.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah like that ! Thanks clyde :thumbup:

I did not read carefully... was kinda busy with my mac & cheese !!! :)
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
:cowboy:
[HTC One X] Asad_612:
thanks, will try the OTA method 1st by installing the RUU. if that works then brilliant! otherwise try the 2nd :)
[HTC One X] Asad_612:
worked like a charm, thnx mate! :good:
[HTC One X] mewazhere:
Didnt work for me

I get to the rebootRUU step and that works, but when I try to flash the firmware.zip it always comes up with "error: cannot load "fastboot.zip" : Unknown error" do you know what the problem might be?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Fastboot.zip ..... Yeah that's wrong

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

And the firmware file need to be named firmware.zip !

What are the chances of making this available for the i9305? I know the partition and radio are different. However, if the partition part was adapted and the radio was removed from ultima rom (i.e. old radio remains on device), would this be doable?

I hate how my i9300 constantly is at almost full ram, wanna get the 2GB version. But the Dev support is minimal (at best)

If someone bought me one I'd do one for sure, but I can't afford one.

Can 4.2 camera app change the lock screen wallpaper now ?

I'm using this rom sence ver 4.1 , it's a great rom , but i found that if i use the 4.2 camera & gallery APP in the higher version of ULTIMA, i cant change my lockscreen wallpaer.

now 6.0 updat is coming ,can i change it by using 4.2 camera & gallery APP + AOSP lockscreen?

Many thanks!

AROMA crashes

I haven't been able to get through the installer without my phone crashing.

First time coming from another rom, I tried to install UltimaROM 5.1. I performed a wipe data/factory reset and install zip from internal sd. Pick ultra wipe, siyah kernel etc and on the last step I press "Next>" and the phone crashes. I pull out the battery and reboot system, and voila UltimaROM is installed.

Second time I want to install UltimaROM 6.0. Perform wipe data/factory reset, and at the bloatware removal screen I scroll down only to cause a crash once again. I repeat the battery removal process go into the installer again, and it crashes again when I untick the Samsung Apps option. Third time it gets stuck at the last step again, and after I unplug the battery for the last time I have v6 installed.

Why did I have to go through all this trouble. Was I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotemG:
Try this!

With my experience, DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING in Ultima Aroma installer.

So how can i install ULTIMA if i came frome another rom? It's simple, just wipe data / cache / dalvic in Recovery, otherwise use a wipe script such as "Revolution rom super wipe script" in Recovery.

Hope that can help. :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

And i aldo stucked during the istallation, or stucked when i chose the app / mod / theme in aroma(quit often in V5),so be paitient, finally it will work.

(how to prevent that happen efficiently? i always make my self tick the checkboxes only once druing the installation ;))

A bit of help with the AOSP messaging again. I love the way it looks and don't really like Samsungs messaging app because the text is rather large and not as smooth looking.

I have went into Google contacts on the website and changed the number of a friend of mine it looks similar to this +14045555555 is this the correct formatting? I did it that way because one of my contacts was set up that way and her messages would go into a thread, but others that I changed would still just pop up as new threads. Is there anything else that is required of me after I change the numbers?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Ok for me it's like this:

Messages are now threading!!!! I had set my contacts up the way of the working one while I awaited your response and went ahead and reflashed and my messages are threading. Thank you!!!!!

Also, is there anyway to make the icons smaller? I guess change the resolution is what i'm asking.

EDIT: I figured it out, I figured that post in the other thread about DPI must have been something about that. So I googled and came up with how to change the DPI and changed it to 240 and it's perfect. I will definitely tell about your rom.

Hi!

First of all I gotta say thank you for an amazing rom. I've been using 5.1 for about a week and have'nt encounterd any bugs at all. However today I downloaded the 6.0 and experienced a few problems. While I was flashing 6.0 aroma launcher freezed at about 95% so I had to pull the battery and redo it again. 2nd time it worked. Everything in the rom seems to work just as weel as in 5.1 accept for the video player that FC everytime I try to watch a video clip. Tried rebooting etc. Does'nt help.

Anyways great job with the rom!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Yes, I've got a fix for that already. I'm just holding out to see if this contacts problem is a ROM issue or not. I'm thinking it isn't and must be something else but I want to make sure so I can fix all three in one patch. But there is a solution for it, don't worry :)

I just flashed the latest stable CM10 and it is working well. If I were to flash a new ROM, do I have to flash a new boot.IMG for it to work? And if I were to update my CM10, do I need to flash the new boot.IMG in the new update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
If you are on ATT version 2.20, yes you need to flash the boot.img when you flash a new rom.

You shouldn't need to when upgrading CM10, however, but if there are kernel changes you may want to, to take full advantage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CalamitySir:
Then while doing so, do I need to full wipe or just wipe cache and dalvik?

For just upgrading CM10, cache and dalvik should be enough

Well, for my research, I find out, that modifing these values not just take no effect, they wont accept any change. I followed the guide to SuperCID, with copying to SD, modiyfing, copying back, bla bla. After that I immideatly, copyied the modified files back to SD and checked in HEX, and found out that there were no changes made.

That means these partitions have some kind of write-protection. So it might be only possible to change these with S-OFF.

Are there any news about S-OFF? Is it truely depending on this HTC-SOFF-petition wether we will get it or not?

Yes, it is write-protected. If the whole world signs the petition, then maybe. No news of S-OFF, no one is working on it.
