[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srps:
I think they all know that, but if the sensor is misbehaving it'll cause such problems, even if nothing is really covering it. Additionally I suppose some screen protectors affect the sensor functions.

More data on the issue is still needed imo.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Which screenprotectors are those affected using?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lattiboy:
I've got no screen protector on, but it would probably only make the problem worse.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
nah, the verizon ones have a cutout for the sensors
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinotheo:
I've got a steinheil. It covers the sensors. (But not the camera) I will pull it back and trim it so that it doesn't cover the sensors.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinotheo:
I pulled the steinheil screen protector up a bit and trimmed it so that the proximity sensor is not covered by the screen protector. Now, knock on is MUCH better. Also, the proximity sensor app seems to show that my proximity sensor is much more responsive. Whereas before trimming, the proximity sensor would still show 0 for up to 30 seconds after I uncovered it, now the sensor sees that it is uncovered with .5 secs.

This has only been a short period of time. I want at least a day or two to feel confident in saying that the protector was the cause.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lattiboy:
Well, I'm glad part of the problem was solved (though I have no idea what specifically did it), but this proximity sensor nonsense is pretty annoying. I'll have to guess at this point I just got a bad copy and I'll start the return process.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinotheo:
I am still good. I am pretty confident in saying that the screen protector covering the proximity sensor made matters much worse. That explains another very common issue I was having. That was when I would unlock the screen, it would immediately power off. IT would sometimes take me 3-4 attempts to successfully have the screen stay on. If the screen protector would cause issues with the proximity sensor that would make sense.

If I am still good until tomorrow, I will shoot off an email to steinheil that a redesign in their screen protector may be in order. They have a cutout for the camera but not the sensors.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy Madison:
You just simply confuse cause and effect, if you cover sensor phone thinks that it sits in the pocket or bag so it prevents "erroneous" "Knock on"s to happen. It's so devised to behave.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just observing that if that sensor isn't working properly, or is obstructed, even by a screen protector it seems, then knock on doesn't behave.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sly_North:
Hi,

I've just fixed my proximity sensor issue (and my Knock-on + Knock-code issues at the same time). My issue was the sensor was moving a bit (maybe by a 20th of a millimeter), getting a tad too far from the screen, and detecting it as an obstacle.

Very easy fix: open the rear, remove the rear button assembly (7 screws), and look at the rear of that button assembly: there's a small rectangular soft pad that's suppose to hold the proximity sensor in place. I just added a slightly thick rectangle of adhesive tape on that soft pad - I used a double faced adhesive tape as it's a bit thicker.

Problem permanently solved! :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phuzzygeek:
Another solution

I couldn't get any of the solutions posted so far to work, so I found a way to force the sensor always to register as "far." I found a copy of the LG G2 VS980 Service Manual, which led me to discover that the proximity sensor itself is APDS-9900, and reading the documentation for this component (avagotech docs AV02-2867EN) led me to surmise that preventing the IR bursts from reaching the sensor would prevent it from ever registering as "near."

Solution: place a tiny piece of electrical tape over the small aperture on the right-hand side of the black sensor unit's face to block the IR emission from the proximity sensor.

By leaving the larger left-hand aperture open, the light sensor is still active, and of course the LED and IR blaster are unaffected. The only downside is that functionality that requires the proximity sensor is effectively disabled as well, and working correctly would be best, but I think being stuck on "far" is better than being stuck on "near."
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskoooo:
Hello guys, it is maybe old thread but I have to ask if there is something else to do beside opening my phone, I am not sure that I have right equipment to do it...

I have tested proximity sensor on my G2 with stock android 4.2.2 JB and 4.4.2 KK and 5.0.2 LP, sensor is only working on 4.2.2 JB and seems like there is no fix for the other two, at least I can't find it.

Knock on is also working only on JB, and not the other two... can someone help with this?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
If i remeber corectly when i used my g2 go into ure test menu i dont remeber the dialer code then click update touch firmware itll freeze for a min but had to do it on mine also some kernals dont support knock code
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskoooo:
i have tried that, it works for JB and for KK but not for LP, the code is 3845#*802# for my model but it is not helping after upgrade to 5.0.2

And btw in that hidden menu on JB my proximity is working properly during test while on KK or LP it is always stuck on NEAR...

Anyway thx for your reply
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
I know this aint a fix but ic its the screen shutting off theres a app the runs with xposed disable proximity sensor i had an issue with mine any time i turned my screen on it shut rite back off on my gw the screen protector was aparantly interfering with the prox sensor.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskoooo:
I just don't understand why does it work on one software and doesn't work on another...

I did replace my display but I don't think it's the real issue here. It must be something related to software.

I could disable proximity, but what then, screen will be always on or?

I had the same problem with some custom roms, like you said screen turn off just after I turn it on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
Yes the screen will stay on during calls. And my issue was a screen protector i would say even a scratch on the glass could cause it http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/363179-proximity-sensor-problem-solved/ http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g2/369374-lg-g2-proximity-sensor-issues-during-phone-calls.html try these

http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/9/27/4776318/beats-ends-htc-partnership-buys-back-stake

What does this mean?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] babymatteo:
That means that every HTC phone released after their deal won't have Beats Audio. That means HTC ONE MAX won't have Beats Audio...and that means that our HTC ONE might go down as the only greatest phone made by HTC with Beats.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Cuppeerr:
It means nothing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tkoreaper:
Who uses that **** anyway?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
It means something that done almost nothing is leaving. I can't think of many things I care less about :) :P
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
+1. He's right, it means nothing. They sold the rest of their ownership stake in the company, that's all. It doesn't even mean that Beats won't be on the devices necessarily, just that they don't own a piece of the action anymore.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrostyF7:
It may not mean a lot to us but there are many people that buy HTC devices just because of beats. It's sad but it's the truth. Think of it like this: compare a team that is not sponsored to a team with a sponsor.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Cuppeerr:
I like your idea but who is sponsoring apple and samsung?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Riff76:
There was a rumor going around that the Max would have a new sound enhancer. Can't find the source but I remember reading it
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
"****ty bass EQ" or not, Beats does make the front facing speakers sound really, really nice. I don't use it for car or headphones though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
Exactly... I can't go back to crappy devices without amplified speaks and excellent sound
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
I guess it's somewhat ironic that my Phone speaker just blew, again. It blew after I had the phone a couple months or so, and it took Asurion FIVE tries to send me a replacement that was acceptable. I'm trying to decide if I wanna bother with that again or just buy a different damn phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
How the Hell is that possible? IPhone has speakers that can blow with one output area?!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
How is what possible? My speakers? No idea, my luck sucks I guess. I dunno anything about iPhone speakers. I know the speaker that busted this time is the top one, can't hear anything during calls
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tkoreaper:
It may make some of the aspects of songs sound better through the speakers, but the others, notably the mids, it certainly makes worse. If you want truly great sound, you'll never find it with beats. Try something like ViPER4Android.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wcr84:
HTC is the best in mobile sound with the ONE. Hard to argue otherwise. The company may have there own technology in line for future phones. Maby better than beats. I personally think beats are over priced compared to some competition they have.

Every time I reboot my Nexus, it would unroot itself.

When I press the supersu icon, it shows that "there is no SU binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your device!"

So, I flash the supersu by using CWM. SuperSU can then be used.

However, when I reboot my phone again, it shows the above message again.

I tried to fully unroot and use the toolkit to root it again. But the problem is still there.

what you can do:

take the framework-res-overlay-navbarXX.apk out of the zips above and put it into /system/vendor/overlay/

if you then have smaller softkeys, that would be step one.

I can give you a new SystemUI.apk to fix the "big back button" problem...if it is there....

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] drsoran2:
what would happen if I did this and reboot? Could it be that I don't have any softkeys at all?

As a safeguard, is it a good idea to enable and autostart an app like "Auto hide softkeys" which brings its own softkey nav bar? I could use this to navigate if the other option fails? Or is it also tied to the stock soft keys?

I guess I'm not brave enough (yet) to test it out :( . I just finished setting up my Z1 a few days ago and everything is running smoothly and I don't want to mess with it.

I'll have to get annoyed enough with the stock keys or my current replacement (Auto hide softkeys) in order to take the plunge.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] glitschi667:
If it does not work, nothing should happen actually... Worst case: no softkeys.. fix: open a root explorer, navigate to system/vendor/overlay and delete the apk....

That's easy enough to fix. We'd need to edit the navbar.xml and remove the 'android:scaleType' bit of code from the back softkey line.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] glitschi667:
sure...

here we go....

you need to delete SystemUI.odex inside /system/app

and replace SystemUI.apk with the attached one. make sure it has 644 permissions. ("chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk")

But please do a backup and enable USB debugging before deleting anything! so you might have a chance to revert your changes if something goes wrong....
