[Galaxy S 4 General] Galane:
My SPH-L720 (not L720T) is rooted. I get "no such file or directory" when trying this. In the sensor test I get no response when I cover the sensor. The problem is the screen doesn't shut off during a call and I end up with settings changed, screenshots taken etc.

I don't see how blowing air into the headphone jack would do anything since the jack is by the front camera and the proximity sensor is on the opposite side of the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kaszebci:
Used instruction from first post and fixed bias in my Galaxy Note 4 with Marshmallow.

The only solution which really works!!!

Do not use stupid "sensor calibration" apps, go straight to this method if you're on Note 4 (mine is SM-N910F).

Below a few details from my specific case:

- phone was rooted - used TWRP for Note 4, and a special SuperSU version for Note 4 Marshmallow (do not install SuperSU proposed by TWRP!)

- used ADB connection to enter the commands from PC - I don't have patience for Android Terminal Emulator

to connect used "adb shell", then "su" to become superuser (this needs to be accepted on phone screen)

- remember that there is no space after $ in the echo command

- the phone uses bias+90 as low threshold, and bias+90+40 as high threshold

- any of the threshold values cannot exceed 255, or strange behaviour will occur

- conclusion from the two above is - you can use bias value 0..125; never ho higher

- since the original cal file has 4 bytes, I felt more confident by following the hex value by 3 zeroes (\x00\x00\x00)

My case-specific command was:

echo -en $'\x78\x00\x00\x00' > /efs/prox_cal
[Galaxy S 4 General] europeart:
It Works but VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!

echo -en ‘\x45’ > /efs/prox_cal

THERE IS AN ERROR DON’T write the “$”. Correct use is:

su

echo 0 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

echo -en ‘\x78’ > /efs/prox_cal

chown system:system /efs/prox_cal

chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal

sync

There is no need to reboot – you can check the values directly in *#0*#.

Check the Offset you have, the high Threshold and the low threshold. Your pone MUST be under the low threshold if there is nothing near the proximity sensor.

For example my ADC is about 200, my low THD was 180 and my Offset was 90.

To increase low THD I needed to increase it at least for over 200 so I choose 210, this means 30 more than actual. Offset was 90 + 30 = 120, convert to hexadecimal (Windows calculator does it easyly in the programmer view) = 78.

So I changed the echo command above to x78.
[Galaxy S 4 General] grappas:
I have xcover 4. I've broke my screen (yup - that "rugged" xcover) and it got replaced. After that I've noticed that proximity sensor is always on close position. Then I thought: "Huh. There's a solution and warranty is void". So I've rooted the phone and done all from this thread, step by step aaaand... it seems not working for me. Anything I put in /efs/prox_cal seems to be ignored. My offset,high,low is stuck on 3,21,15 but sensor shows that without puting a finger that value is almost 90. Plz help :(

EDIT:

NVM ;)

File to modify is not located on /efs/prox_cal but /efs/FactoryApp/prox_cal

This is mine:

echo 0 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
echo -en '\x99' > /efs/FactoryApp/prox_cal
chown system:system /efs/FactoryApp/prox_cal
chmod 644 /efs/FactoryApp/prox_cal
sync
[Galaxy S 4 General] shrekpido21:
hello please help. all my sensors not working... not just proximity. theres no data it said. but my fingerprint sensor is fine.

even my brightness setting does not setting to low, auto brightness not working. nad camera app also not working. its just black with buttons and suddenly crashes. how to fix these please? i recently format my data after rooting.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DavidMelb:
After playing with software fixes for ages I realised it is a hardware issue... You can prove this by installing another rom and see if you have the same issues... also please use Open Camera app...
[Galaxy S 4 General] shrekpido21:
is that "open camera app" is a third party app? apk?

what rom should i install then? any stock rom or custom rom?

can you suggest me some custom rom please. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] DavidMelb:
yes

you didnt say what rom you are running? But I recommend official LOS 14 :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 General] shrekpido21:
hello i just flash recently russian stock firmware.. and all my sensors is working again. but then i try root again it work but it seems that the "patch" to decrypt the unmountable data in twrp is the cause of losing data of sensors.. i notice these whenever i flash it and even factory data reset cant fix it unless you flash again an official stock firmware. or custom rom maybe.. but my question is.. but why? how these patch broke all my phone sensors? for now i cant root nor flash twrp becoz of "can mount data" error again. i cannot flash this dm_verity patch becoz it just broke all my phone sensors.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DavidMelb:
I have an old S4 with sensors not working, I think I will try different roms now...
[Galaxy S 4 General] shrekpido21:
i assure you mate it will work again like magic! i already rooted my phone now.. hehe.. seems that i really just had to factory reset it before rooting.

anyways, if your sensors still not receiving data or not working.. it might be the hardware..

but i believe that it would work again if flash a fresh stock firmware. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] E-rrorCZ:
Works for Note 3 too!

Hell yeah! This worked for my Note 3 which resisted all other forms of proximity sensor fix, sensor replacement included :/

# echo -en $ '\xF' > /efs/prox_cal "F" worked for me :) !!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] bilatche:
what does it mean?
[Galaxy S 4 General] E-rrorCZ:
da meaning

You can use this command via terminal, I was reffering to previous post in this thread.

This command stores following string "-en $ '\xF' " into /efs/prox_cal file in your phone. This file should contain calibration data for proximity sensor. This helped me to fix my proximity sensor issue :cool:

You two should try jodin3. It will work for windows if you have java installed. Check the md5 outside of odin /jodin3 for the vrucml1 tar ball before just in case you have a bad download. In case you missed it the link for jodin3 is at the top end of the soft debrick guide.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

You can also try heimdall but it can be a pain because you need to extract everything from the tarball and add it in one by one. You also need to use a separate program to select the driver.

Thanks for your quick response.

I have been digging through this forum for weeks and will continue to do so until I find something that works for me. That said, if you happen to remember what that fix that got to the root of the problem please let me know. It just seems like the phone is not granting write permissions to anything (multiple versions of odin, jodin3, verizon repair utility, kies) from download mode or "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." screen and if I could just adjust/override those that I can flash successfully.

you have a custom rom, light themed?

you have to understand, if you change something inf ramework-res.apk...probably it will affect another app then. its quiet impossible to have no problems.

i think it would be easier to change the walkman background to a light color.

edit, you can also try to look into semcmusic.apk for change the textcolor, maybe you can define that inside the .xml's

also in the walkman apk you can finde out where the textcolor gets the color from. for example if its defined in the walkman apk, or in framework-res?

search a bit on xda, read a bit, and then try out yourself. you shouldnt be able to break something...

It's a timing thing. You press the power button and then press the vol up right away. It's wonky, but it works.

This thread is made for people who want to tweak their phone to maximum potential :victory:

Tip 1

TRIPLE SWAP TURBO BOOST

​

Hi,

The desire hd as you know, doesn't have much ram. So I was wondering has any of you heard of Turbo Boost? Apparently it works on the desire hd.

What the swap file is for:

The responsiveness does not satisfy you?

Your device (sometimes) lags?

You have got Sense restarts after heavy use or after browsing?

After several days your phone becomes slower and slower?

You don’t like to create a swap partition on your sdcard?

You just hate unused internal memory?

So the developer states it works on the desire hd, heres the thread link. I'm going to test out if it actually works on the desire hd; I just posted this as a tip :)

Okay I tested it on CM11 and it works :cowboy:

How do I know how much mb I should use?

Any specific instructions to any other question should be looked on the thread; since I didn't develop turbo boost :P

Tip 2

ABCD...BLAHBLAHBLAH...XYZ.. More tips coming soon ;)

[Desire HD General] XDA_h3n:
[MENTION=4770614]coloured_chalk[/MENTION] I'd leave it with its default settings since its adjusted for our device. Just to add to that; using more MB will use more of your storage space in that certain partition; so it varies to how much apps you have. So it comes to a cost of Storage > Performance .
