Yes, I had the exact same issue, along with thousand others. Unfortunately it's not a software issue, it's a hardware one. The problem lies in the phone design, as dust penetrates the speaker grill and moves on to the proximity sensor. I had mine in for repair, where they switched out the whole sensor unit, and noted on the report that the whole inside of the phone was full of dust. Even though I've never used in a non-normal environment.

You'll notice that if you use compressed air or blow really hard into the speaker grill the problem will go away or get better, but only for a limited period of time. There's nothing really you can do to fix the issue permanent besides RMAing or opening the phone and blowing it clean for dust yourself, and in the process try to isolate the sensor in some way, so that it doesn't happen again.

Check your battery, if it's swelling/bulging in any kind of way, your battery is defect and Samsung will give you a new one for free.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xela-yuki6:
It actually is swelling/bulging slightly, is that a known defect? I assumed that was NFC components. Do I go to my local Samsung care centre or my carrier? Thanks for the help petrus.

Sorry to barge in about this again...but I'm still not clear on the Proximitiy sensor thing.

The Sensor works, I can check that on KTweaker app, but in a phonecall it does not turn on the display when I remove the phone from my ear. This worked with the former release. I did have the problem before, but I don't know what made it go away.

The silly thing is, that I can't even wake up my display with the Power or Home buton when I'm in a call. It just stays black. After the call ends it takes about 10-30 seconds before I can activate the display again.

How do I fix that? I don't think it's a hardware problem because I can trigger the sensor in the test app...

Hey [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]

Getting battery drain with latest build but not the previous... Thoughts
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
It's hardware. Your standard value when the sensor is not covered is too high because of dust.

Let's say the software checks if the value is 25 or lower and then activates the display again. But when your sensor isn't covered your value is still higher than that. So you'll never reach the condition when the software activates the display again.

It doesn't matter if you can trigger the sensor and that the value changes when you cover your sensor. It's just your lowest possible value that screws you.

And again if you don't know it: the reference value you can set in ktweaker is only for the wake options kt implemented (s2wake, dt2wake,...) and is not used by other apps or phone functions when the proximity sensor is used.

Did you perform a full wipe b4 flashing or dirty flash over the previous build?

Battery is much improved for me over the last build. I done a full wipe + system format, changed the kernel governor to ktoonservativeq and undervolted by -25 all over.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CommanderROR:
Hmmm...I can make the sensor value go from 25 to 255 if I move my hand towards or away. I'll see if I can get the lowest value to go down by calibrating. I sure hope it's not dust...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
It's dust, mine behaved exactly the same and it was full of it.

Did you try blowing hard and long into the speaker grill to see if it made a difference?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andrewbat:
Definitely a full and clean flash...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
Man, just believe it.

Samsung just put another value for triggering the action. That's why it may work on tw and not on ge or another room. It's still your hardware.

Normal value when the sensor is not covered should be 0. for me it's 3.

25 is way too high.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:

25 is way too high for a free sensor. Can't tell you anything else.

Hey [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] ,

Strange...I always do a full wipe...twice in fact...so this issue surprised me...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
To all those of you who are facing issues where your screen doesn't come back on after a call due to the proximity sensor acting up... you need to dive deep into this thread and check it out.

I too began to have this issue as soon as I flashed this ROM for the very first time. I too have thought it's gotta be [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]'s fault (for which, again, I sincerely apologize), that he probably did something wrong in the ROM or something. But it turned out he was actually right - it's hardware.

The proximity sensor, being so close to the earpiece grill, allows dust to accumulate rather easy. Happens to the Note 2, as well...

So, you got two choices. One is, obviously, to take the phone apart and clean out all that dust or, two, recalibrate the sensor, which is easier, right?

I recalibrated my sensor (its value is 43 when it's as clean as possible, instead of... well... as close to 0 as possible) and everything's back to normal. If you get it right, you will fix it! So... dive deep into that thread, open your eyes, pay attention and fix this issue by yourselves. You're Android users, act as such! :silly:

What about optimised dalvik libraries? I've read in other forums that this rom has already got optimised dalvik, but I can't find this feature in the list you've made in the first post.

Also about bionic... I know that this rom already is extremely fast and smooth (I'm using 28/03 version with the newest KT kernel because I prefer odexed rooms, and it is GREAT, gj man), but do you suggest to don't flash them because they are already implemented or because they will make no difference?

Well I know but I can't rly understand if these libraries can provide effective advantages. In fact, reading the FAQ section in the original topic in Nexus 4 section (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120) I've read these things :

Q: Can I use it on other devices?

A: Yes, you can use this patch on every Krait device that uses AOSP-based ROM (examples: Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013). Don't flash it on stock ROM on non-Nexus devices, as they already include these optimizations (that includes Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play editions!).

So it's seems that a Google edition should include optimised bionic and dalvik libraries. BUT:

Q: Can I use these patches on 4.4.1/4.4.2 stock ROM (KOT49E/KOT49H)?

A: Yes, you can.

If I'm not wrong, this rom is built from a stock KOT49H, so the thing I can't understand is if Danvdh, creating this rom, has implemented these libraries like and original Google Edition or not.

I'm a little confused :S

Can I suggest to add these questions in the F.A.Q. section?

I tested my S4 (running this ROM, obviously) against a friend's brand new Galaxy S4 and noticed that my phone doesn't seem to have as good a noise reduction level as my friend's (which is running stock 4.3). :eek:

Is there a way to test if noise cancellation is working or not? Via a method different than what I just tried, of course...

And... problem #2... I say "hello?" the moment I answer a call. But people often complain I never say "hello?". So, there must be a delay from when you accept the call and when the microphone input is actually becoming active, a delay of a second or so. Anyone else noticed this? Anyone else can test this?
