Hi, I don't know where is the problem. In the menu test (*#0*#) I see that the sensor is always active. Therefore the screen stay black immediatly in a call. But I changed this (http://us00.i.aliimg.com/ae_message/1/5b/b5/fb/f1/1384010961/original.jpg) and this (http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/...t-Sensor-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-SIII-i9300.jpg) from my S3 and doesn't worked. When connect the new display in my S3 the sensor work. Have any idea where is the problem?

Thanks!

Help with commands

Hi,

I've tried the commands in adb shell, but it appears:

C:\....>adb shell

shell@t03g:/ $ su

su

/system/bin/sh: su: not found

Is there because I'm not root?

If that's the case, I've been looking for info to root (Android 4.3) but i can't find it.

Please help.

thanks in advance

Compressed air didn't work for me, but taking the s4 apart just enough to clean under the glass did.

Hi, thank you for letting us know.

I even replaced the proximity sensor and it did not work:eek:, so i finally rooted my phone and it worked :victory:.

thanks

I also have the "proximity sensor always ON" on my S4 Duos, exactly same phenomena as described above by other men.

I tried to run the shell commands provided above, but it not helps.

So I think either the sensor is fault or there's a dust in front of it. I cannot tell. It seems that I will have to bear with this annoying problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] garyfrench1:
fixed my s3

hi everyone.

i had the same problem with my s3 shortly after changing the glass/screen.

i replaced the proximity sensor thinking it was the culprit but with no fix.

i have just stripped down the phone again, taken out the proximity sensor, put it all back together (minus the screws and back cover) with the proximity sensor hanging out of the phone, turned it back on, accessed an app called "proximity sensor finder" and i found that the sensor was working (it goes from 0-8cm when i put my finger in front of it), so i figured the problem was with the new screen. it seems the new screen has a 'blackout' area over the sensor which may be too thick so was not letting enough light in, i dismantled the phone again then i scratched off the 'blackout' area from the inside, put it all back together and so far it seems to have fixed it, the only difference is the sensor is now visible through the 2 holes on the screen but i really couldn't care less as it has fixed the phone.

hope this helps.

Method 2 described under link below worked like a charm.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Second method worked for me as well!! That's crazy! You guys are literally geniuses!! and ADB rocks!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thllxb:
Had the exact same problem on my S4.

Tonight I opened the case and saw quite a lot of dust right in front of the prox sensor.

Then a squeeze blower solved the problem like a charm!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esdwa:
It is kinda sad, latest Samsung phones are just designed poorly allowing dust to penetrate space between sensors and front glass. The front camera lens on my current Note II is completely dusted making it unusable. On my first Galaxy S phone this was never a case. Neither on my SII.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ColeSloth:
First method in this thread worked for my rooted note 2.

Used terminal emulator and did the su reset with the 1 and then the reset with the 0.

Su hit enter and then run the two commands one at a time IN THE DARK. Then restart the phone.

I tried it in low light and regular light first and it did not work, so make sure it's in the dark. I've reset the phone several times sense and the fix was in permanent for me.

Thanks for this post i found the app to test the sensors, thought i had removed the glass that was cracked over the proximity sensor but had done the light sensor! duh so now all i need to do is replace the glass :)

Recently I have been searching for solutions to fix my i9505 from. the screen going black when i make a phone call. I had posted a work around recently... This has been working for me but in order ive had to get rid of my lock screen...

Well I think I may of found a solution to my problem and for what I can v see many others. So no more blowing you're sensors clear with air...

ALL U NEED-

an awesome custom ktoonsez kernel and the KTWEAKER

Open kteeaker app which comes included in KT kernel. Go to mainsetting/wakesleepsetting then proximity setting and alter the value. Easy as that.

WITH IN K TWEAKER APP KT HAS ADDED OPTION TO TEST AND MODIFY YOUR PROXIMITY SENSOR.

ONE OF MY PHONES WAS SET TO 43 OUT OF 255, AN THE OTHER WAS SET TO 8 WHICH I ASSUME AS DEFAULT BUT JUST INCASE I SET TO (1), NOW BLACK SCREEN WON'T GO ON TILL U NEARLY TOUCH THE SENSOR THEN SCREEN COME BACK ON AS SOON AS U PULL AWAY.... AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO....

HOPEFULLY This will help some of you.!!!

All credits to ktoonsez!!

i9100 proximity sensor doesn't work

Hi to all! I have the issue with proximity sensor and didn't manage to find a solution in other similar threads!

The matter is that it is always stay as Released.

In the same time in test screen (*#0*#) there are changing reading for PROXIMITY parameter from 2 up to 240 with no ADC parameter at all. Please look for screenshots. PROXIMITY parameter changes its value when I move my finger in front of the sensor, but as I can understand Android doesn't recognize it because of ADC absence.

Moreover I tried to change proximity sensor for working one (from another phone), but it shows the same as mine (with no ADC readings).

After all I think it is software problem, but I don't know how to solve it. I flashed different firmwares (now it is XWMSE NeatROM v.6.4), but nothing helped.

Please assist! Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] p4rot:
Hi,

Like the title says, i rooted my Nexus 7 last sunday, after owning the device since last november.

I was quite scared about messing up everything trying to root the device, but everything went fine thanks to the XDA forum and youtube , i found usefull info on both of these site.

I installed Paranoid Android on it , the 3.10 version and yesterday night i had a pop up saying that i had an update available for my rom ( 3.15 version) so i downloaded it and installed it without a problem.

Also i installed a kernel on it the Faux123 kernel , there was 3 version available for android 4.2.2 so i took the Ultimate edition max, as shown here on this threadhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804374

I have to say that since i rooted my device and installed Paranoid Android on it my Nexus 7 is a lot faster.

But i dont know if its since i installed the kernel or what but the battery seems to get quite hot , something that never happended when i wasnt rooted.

I got the Faux tool on the play store to control the cpu , i had the governors on performance for 1 day, but the battery was getting too hot like that so i changed it to interactive mode.

I have the Faux tool set on boot, i dont know if its correct, maybe i would like some help about how to manage the cpu.

Also when i update my rom yesterday i backed up all my apps with Titanium but since i wipe the data cache and the dalvik cahe when updating the rom i lost my boot animation( a custom one that i got from here on xda) and i had to reinstall my kernel because it was gone.

Is there a sort of way to update a rom without loosing the kernel and/or other thing like my boot animation.

Thanks in advanced.

-Jon
[General Questions and Answers] gollum17:
If you are overclocking the heat problem is normal, it happens with all cpus when they are pushed beyond their limits. As long as you don't stay at the max value for your kernel for an extended period of time you should be fine.

Also if you have twrp recovery you can auto flash zips using the goomanager app.

Droidians,

I've been working 'hard' (for a noob) recently trying to desperately root my Xperia U ST25i. As mentioned in the title, the build is 6.1.1.b.1.54 and is running ICS 4.0.4. The bootloader has also been unlocked, but no matter whether I use the command line Bin4ary restore root or Flashtool in order to root it, it's just failing.

Any advice would be appreciated. Should I downgrade to GB and try from there? If so, where can I find a GB ftf file for my specific model/firmware etc?

:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Chaz-:
AW: Sony Xperia U ICS 6.1.1.b.1.54 Wont Root!

The .54 firmware is not rootable by the root and restore method. You have to flash .10 firmware-kernel to root and then flash .54 firmware-kernel.

Adlx said it might be possible, but he is busy with the Nexus 4 I think so he hasn't looked into it. I have no idea how to go about bringing 4.2 to ChaCha.

Even a dev without the phone could blind build. But it would require someone with the phone to constantly test.

Maybe you should kindly ask devs if they are interested in working on the ChaCha. Most won't be though because very few people have this phone.

Lack of developers with not very much dedicated people to fix the bugs. It has bugs in almost every rom which explains that it is highly unlikely as this phone has almost completed its life in its software but you never know.

Or maybe you can donate to a developer and ask for his help. If 500 people donate about 2 $ a piece, i guess this will be a good way to support and coax a developer!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
Hey, been on these forums for a while, I rarely ask for help (been pretty lucky with the phones), but I have a question.

My phone won't charge. Or rather, it requires a time consuming process of fiddling, unplugging, replugging, and sometimes minor surgery on the USB port with a toothbrush or a tool I've crafted out of a Q-tip. However, after a night of charging (or some interrupted equivalent that results in a charged battery) the battery quickly depletes while still plugged in.

This is most clearly illustrated when yesterday, at 8:45 I rolled over and checked my phone to see if it had been charged. Pleased to see that it had been charged up to 100% I fell back asleep. When I woke up again to go to school at 9:10, my phone was entirely dead. I couldn't even get it to turn on to the point where it showed the I9100 screen. After following the time consuming and frustrating process of fiddling with the USB port and Micro USB charger, I coaxed the phone to show the powered-down charging screen, where I left it to charge to full.

I have been experiencing this over the course of a few weeks and I have tried many chargers, but only one of them will work at all (Interestingly a Motorola cord). Upon inspection of the USB port, nothing seems out of the ordinary, though the 2 prongs on the outside of the USB port male receiver look slightly different than the inside 2, though they difference is symmetrical.

Does anybody have any idea of what could be plaguing my phone? USB or battery? This is my second SII, a replacement one after my original one was tragically lost in a hot tub :P. Any thoughts would be awesome.

Thanks

Braidonh
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ccarlpearce:
If you are using Siyah kernel have you altered the charging current through EsTweeks?

If so then it is possible that the battery / charging circuit has been damaged. Try resetting the values to default (I think its 700mV on AC and misc and 600mV on USB but dont quote me).

Failing that then some hardware trouble shooting (trying a new battery / external battery charger) will help you figure out what is going on.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isreal94:
I was having this same problem with my HTC vivid. I tried charging with may chargers, the phone claimed it was charging (orange light lit up) but the phones battery was dying while plugged in. Just like you said, the battery depleted rather quickly when plugged in. Since my phone refused to accept any form of charge I bought an external battery charger and some extra batteries.

However, last week I wondered if maybe there was some sort of dust, or small pieces of sand inside the Micro-USB port on my in my phone that were possibly "blocking" the charger from properly charging.

So I bought an air duster and blew air into the USB port of my phone. I guess there must have been something in there because that fixed my issue and now my phone charges!

Now I have 4 batteries for my phone and an external battery charger.

Try it on your phone, see if you have the same luck I had.
