Still with problems

Hi...

I proceeded as suggested and it still doesn't work. I flashed with the new Flashing tool 0.9.11.0 by Bin4ry and Androxyde and the sensor is not working.

I flashed to ICS again and it works very well, I don't understand...

What I noticed is that the sensor seems to work together with the light sensor, in the same position. Somebody knows if the sensor is the same? In the ICS the proximity sensor works when I cover the same part of light sensor (left from the speaker) and not in the right between the speaker and front camera.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marceloyudi:
Nobody knows?

Nobody has other suggestions?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechip850:
just flash back to ICS and check, if its the same, may be you have got your sensor damaged..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marceloyudi:

Hi bluechip850

Thanks for the suggestion, but as I told I tried this and the sensor is working well in ICS.

By the way, I'm still using ICS due to the sensor is not working in JB.

I really would like to use JB, mainly because I noticed that the battery in ICS gets low faster that JB.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Wait for the new update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Fanta_BH:
can confirm it is JB 4.1 and 4.2 bug, xperia s lt26i offical Sony JB, xperia z1 offical Sony JB , proximity sensor off and stay off all the time, prestigio 4044 same, prestigion 5050 same, samsung s4 same. Don't have more phones to try, will test as I get any other in hads. So far only bug I found in JB but anoying one as it dont lock screen when call is on and phone on ear, so I press a lot of buttons during talk :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marceloyudi:

Fanta_BH

My phone is a Xperia Acro S (LT26W) JB 4.1.2

I need to power the screen off manually every time I want to answer or make a call. I just fast press the button of the power just to turn off the screen and avoid to touch the screen accidentally.

When I finish the call I also need to fast press the button again so I can access the screen options again.

It is so boring, but I just found this solution until the next update. I didn't find any other solution or software to change or turn on the proximity sensor. I actually found some scripts, but I don't have experience to change the system and I don't want to kill my phone, so I decided to wait to the next update instead of downgrade to ICS again, which was working well, because of the improvements that JB provides.

If you find some information that can fix the proximity sensor, please tell me...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Fanta_BH:
can add now, smart screen off when enabled, do job, proximitiy sensor starts working again. get it here from forum or from playstore on playstore it is taged as Smart Screen off lite.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

well forgot to say, was searching on net and got that infor about software "smart screen off" it is made by someone from here on XDA. Decided to give it a try, installed it from playstore, it makes one icon on deesktop which function like simple button, when u press button proxim. sensor starts working and acting normaly, when u press it again it switch off so proxim sensor again not working as it is JB bug so JB keeps it off all the time when there is no other software which will enabled it directly, so go go try it I hope it will work for you as well.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marceloyudi:
Didn't work

Fanta_BH

I wouldn't like to say that just the software couldn't work.

The proximity sensor in actually disabled in my phone. I need to turn it on first to use any software to manage the proximity sensor. I thought that this software you told would enable the sensor, not just manage it.

Anyway thanks, if you have another suggestion I would be pleased to try
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
It seems like somewhere in the system a value to have the proximity sensor on during a call is set to off, find where its located and copy it over from ICS to jb and you should be good to go

Nice idea, but can you explain or send a link how to access the system and make this changes?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
This is just an idea, if someone has a build.prop on the same phone and same version that has no issues with proximity post it here then OP flash to jb delete your build.prop and paste theres in your system folder. Else you could try copying your build.prop from ICS and pasting it in jb. Supposably that is where the issue lies on some phones. You may also want to flash a jb firmware that isn't stock, any ROM from the xperia s section should work. For editing the build.prop you need root and a root browser then go into system and at the bottom is build.prop. you may also want to read your build.prop and see if there are any lines for proximity in there

It seems as though you're not in touch with the android system, no offence, so I'd take the easy route and flash a jelly bean firmware from the across s section, this should work perfectly fine for you because its simply the stock ROM that's the issue and had a regression and most devs will fix this in their ROM.

Well at my lt26i it is same, prox sensor in settings is always off, so it is disabled and can not be enabled, but still software I said somehow when I press button for software enable it do enable prox. sensor and it working but its controled by software not by systme itself. And I dont getting it as with software enabled system still showing prox sensor as disabled.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marceloyudi:
Thanks for the explanation, but in my Acro S it didn't work very well. In my oppinion is more effective to press power button quickly to turn off the screen, because sometimes the software seems that is not running and it doesn't turn the screen off automatically....

Where I should type this lines? Can you give me extra instructions?

Proximity went wondering

well let me tell u interesting story :3 I was in .96 JB firmware and it was running good and the proximity sensor was working just fine. Than i Changed the screen protector of my device and it cost me 5$ it happened to me after changing the screen protector.. sensor was not working.. I was wondering what should i do? I downgrade back to ICS there the sensor was working perfectly o.O and i again flashed into JB its not working so please help me out :3 :( :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] marceloyudi:
Hi xdriyad

It is more or less what happened to me, but I went from ICS (sensor was working) and updated to JB (not working anymore). When I flashed back to ICS the sensor was working again.

I tried to update directly from the phone, from PC Companion and also flashing with a firmware from the internet without success...

Actually I think is the kernel or any configuration of the sensor is not correct from the firmware setting. But as I told I'm not an expert in programming or Android OS so I don't know where to change the config to take the correct effect and activate the sensor correctly.

Anyway, if you have any solution for this case let us know!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xdriyad:
well i'm trying my best though i'm not a developer i'll let u guys know if i find something and also hopping same from u guys :):)

Hey Buddies

I still couldn't find the solution for the proximity sensor yet.

If somebody who has a Xperia Acro S with JB and the proximity sensor working well could send the build.prop from your system I would be thankful.

Thanks and have a good new year!

Hey xdriyad

Do you think there is a missing config? I have sensor box, but using it to test the sensor it doesn't change. I think my sensor is turned off.

Follow the config:

Hi everyone, does Omega 46.1 (4.2.2) support USB Audio? I have a FiiO E07k but I can't make it work, it seems to detect it but there is no audio.

For what I have read it should work in TW based ROMs, or Samsung dropped support for USB DACs in 4.2.2? Does 4.1.x works?

I know it works in AOSP ROMs but I can't make it work in stock based, specially in 4.2.2 :(

I have this issue on a few ROMs. When I plug in my headphones, the volume automatically goes to max, and will not adjust accordingly with the volume level. As I turn it down, the volume stays at max, until I get to 0 where it then mutes. This really sucks as I ride my motorcycle to work everyday atm, because my car is in the shop. I hate having to flash certain ROMs just to listen to my music while riding. Anyone know why this is, or of any fixes?? I've searched the forums, and Google to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKucho:
Maybe try a complete reflash. Full wipe then flash. Are you using a custom kernel? No one should be experiencing that problem. Check if your ROMs md5 sum and compare it to the original. If they don't match, you may have to redownload and reflash. Hope I helped!

You can recover from boot loop issue in cwm 5....

You can try one of the following:

Download cwm 6

Put it in ext sd card

Select install zip from sd card and chooze zip

Flash it

Wipe delvik cache and cache partition

Reboot

Now the second one

(In this method you will get to stock rom and lose root)

First download odin3 v1.85

Download stock firmware

Extract both in a particular folder

Open odin

Go to Download mode in ur phone and press volume up

Connect ur phone to pc

If odin shows a yellow mark then u are ready to proceed

Mark PDA & Select The 7500ZSLD3_S7500HKTWLD3_S7500LD3_BRI_HOM

Click start in odin

Keep patience

After process is over odin will show pass

Now ur phone will reboot

(DO NOT REMOVE USB CABLE TILL ITS REBOOTED PROPELY)

Complete the setup

(NOTE THAT THE LANGUAGE IS CHINESE SO CHANGE IT BY CLIKING ON BOTTOM RIGHT OPTION AND CHOOSE ENGLISH)

Now again switch off mobile as as the process has not been completed yet

Go to recovery mode (this time it would be stock recovery not cwm)

In recovery mode select wipe data factory reset and wipe cache partition

Reboot.

Now u are done!!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaqin:
So I boot up that N7 and everything works great. Until I press the power button once to lock it and then again to unlock it. After that, the touchscreen does not respond to anything. The rest is good - ADB works and it shows that it's charging when I connect it to the PC or the charger.

What could be the possible issue?

I tried reflashing the tab, problem persists on both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 stock ROMs.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
Very wierd issue that almost seems hardware related. You have tried a factory reset correct?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaqin:
I would guess that flashing the stock ROM through fastboot is more or less a factory reset. I will try to do that from Android too.

I'm pretty sure this is software related bug - TWRP doesn't have any problems with waking up.

Problem persists even on a custom kernel - LeanKernel. I will try to flash a custom ROM soon if that factory reset won't help.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaqin:
Yeah. Neither a new kernel (tried franco's too), nor CM10.1 seem to solve the issue. It still works good after the boot for practically infinite amount of time and it works great.

I just got the tab to fix that issue, and talked to my friend who has a N7 too (but fully working of course) - he said he had a similar issue with his magnetic cover. I guess that the magnetic sensor could be damaged in some way. It's not my N7, I'm not going to open it to check.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
This thread has a solution to disable the magnetic sensor and this link talks about google currents as a possible culprit (even though the issue doesn't exactly match yours, it may be worth a try).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaqin:
Yeah.

Shame that nobody introduced that thing into their kernel :X and CM10.1 is google app-less unless I install them.

Thanks for your advice though! I will give the tab back to the owner, maybe he will want to disassemble it and try to fix the issue.
