I believe it's only in TouchWiz roms.

Cleaning the dirt out of the sensor is the only long term solution to fix it. But even then it's not permanent. It will eventually get dirty again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djdivan:
This guide solve my problem.

I noticed about the problem when flashed AOSP based Rom. So, thinked it was a rom bug.

Then, flashed stock again and find the issue was still there.

After trying whit compressed air, and nothing changes, rooted my phone (again) and follow this guide, and proximity sensor is working again.

Thanks.

I'm using an AOSP ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2643031) and worked for me.

But the point of my post (and I have the Verizon edition BTW) is to say THANK YOU! I got to the point where every time I made a phone call I knew almost certainly my screen wouldn't turn on and even half the time hitting the home button wouldn't do the trick. I know the issue is my otter box defender series, which never caused this problem until about a month or two ago. But I need the otter box and this fixed my problem... Thank you thank you! No more random voice mails from me because my screen won't turn on haha

Edit: For those on AOSP, if you type the value in the calculator, swipe left and hit HEX, it will give you the hexadecimal value you need :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] red_five_1976:
Ever since I flashed any custom ROM on my tmo S4, the proximity sensor hasn't worked right. Screen would never wake after a call ended, even the app I use to keep the screen off in my pocket (Gravity Screen, pretty cool app) wasn't working. I used the little app referenced in the OP, and it all works again! Thanks! :good: :highfive: :cool: :victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fincan:
Previously I wrote that that file and value does not exist in S4 GPE (Google Play Edition), but just for the heck of it I gave it a shot and created the file, and what do you know, it works. Since you saved my sanity and also my phone from being smashed with a hammer, I purchased the app to show my support. Thank you dagentooboy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
There is an Xposed module that will do it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilicool:
Thank you for the response mate.

I've noticed that xposed is causing some serious battery drain on my phone with any tw rom i try.

Is there a way besides that? Just wanted to know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Its very strange that xposed would be the cause of battery drain. Xposed doesn't really do anything. It just gives access to its modules to do things.

If you have battery drain problems related to xposed its probably due to a module you were running and not zposed itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilicool:
Yup you're right. Did some digging and found what the culprit was. Lol. Thanks for the help mate!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dagentooboy:
If it always reads 255 it's probably a bad sensor

Should I expect your app to work on AOSP MM on a i9505 (Galaxy S4)?

Doesn't have the prox_cal file in the /EFS folder...

UPDATE: Tried it and didn't work...

Can you help? It seems to fit the symptoms perfectly...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dagentooboy:
Proceed at your own risk!

I think I was able to put a cal value into the /proc file I mentioned in the OP but without the /efs folder it won't survive a reboot. I would flash a stock TW ROM and fix the sensor then flash AOSP.

Let me know if that works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gr33n88:
I found an app on play store that does it , its called, proximity sensor reset, download it and follow the instructions, it did work fine for me.

[General Questions and Answers] id903:
Mine obviously doesn't connect when I try to call a number. I'm wondering if you switch to ring.to, can you still use your GV credits to do international calls?
[General Questions and Answers] snovvman:
When I saw this coming, I didn't update GV IP. I'm still on 1.4.8. I can still make calls through GV IP as of this writing. I wrote GV IP's dev and he said that, while GV IP can no longer use the API, Google has not yet removed the service. This is why it still works.

Who knows how long it will take Google to actually remove the service, so for now, I'll stick with 1.4.8.

[One (M8) Accessories] Wanton86:
Hi Everyone, first post here on these forums. I've been trying to find some more info on Skinomi's full body coverage for the HTC One M8 but so far nothing has come up.

I've got a few questions about it specifically with this phone before I buy one (if anyone here is using one).

If so, how has it held up since you've installed it? Any peeling etc?

I mainly purchased this for the speaker grill protection to use with skinomi's glass screen protector and I'm wondering if there are any alignment issues?

On the same note, I'm assuming the screen + glass screen protector will be higher than the speaker grills (even with the skin installed)?

Can anyone provide some insight?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Accessories] ainjobizz:
I bought one of these because I planned on going naked. I received the first revision which was just one whole screen protector but I asked them if they can send me the 3 part front protector because I was only going to use the grill protector since I have a tempered glass. The glass protector is definitely more raised than the grills even with the protector. Phone didn't feel that much slippery in the hands anymore but I still felt like needed to use a case for work. I bought the SGM Tough Rugged case from amazon and it fits pretty good even with the back/sides protector but the bottom grill protector would peel every time I put the case on, but it would stick back when I took it off. Eventually I took it off because it was annoying. It probably peeled because I didn't align it as good as I wanted. I also have a Spigen clear capsule case but the materials didn't really play well together and it was a bit hard putting the case on and sometimes the bottom ports would not align properly with the case.

Anyway, if you're going to go naked I would recommend this since it'll protect the phone from scratches and such but if you plan to use a case it might or might not go well together. I decided to peel the back and sides as well in the end. I really wanted to go naked since the device looks sexy but I've always been a case kind of guy and the phone also didn't feel that comfortable in the hands as it does with some cases.
[One (M8) Accessories] Wanton86:
Thanks for the response! Got a few more questions.

Did you have any problems getting the grill protectors and the glass screen protector lined up right?

How long did you use it before it started peeling?

I've read things about the HTC logo on the back of the phone peeling off on it's own, so I'm worried that if I decide to remove the back piece and go with a case that it will strip off the logo as well. Did you have and problems with this?
[One (M8) Accessories] ainjobizz:
No problem. The glass protector didn't get in the way with the grill protectors since the glass only covers the screen area and not the grills. The only times the bottom grill protector started peeling was because of the rugged case's lip would lift up the protector and it would peel a bit every time I put the case on. I still believe it was due to me not aligning the bottom grill correctly because the top grill never peeled. And everything else never peeled. Haven't had a problem with the HTC logo. When I peeled the back it was pretty hard to pull it off since it really sticks to the phone.

Also the installation wasn't really easy. It's a wet installation and probably took me like 30 minutes or more. It was mostly because the sides wouldn't stick and the back protector kept moving around. I had to use a blow dryer so the sides could finally stick, maybe I used to much solution but yeah I hated the installation.
[One (M8) Accessories] Wanton86:
As far as the installation goes, do you have any tips for doing the top and bottom grill protectors? I just got mine today and I'm afraid of getting any solution into the grill holes.

I was thinking of doing the top grill protector, then lining up the glass protector and finally lining up the bottom grill protector that way. I hope there are no spaces in between any of the pieces.
[One (M8) Accessories] ainjobizz:
Just don't wet the protector that much and you should be good. And yeah you can start by top grill, then glass, then bottom grill. I believe you're supposed to not use your device for a few hours after installation. Good luck!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
when i first tested my sony mdr1-rbt bluetooth headset I thought too that volume through bluetooth was very low until I figured out that the volume keys on the headphone do not trigger the phones volume but its own internal volume, which was when i first testet it, set to its minimum :silly:

nevermind if you don't have these, I know that viper4android can boost sound through bluetooth by enabling the playbackagc option and set it to moderate or extreme. only "problem" is you have to be rooted.

sorry for now these are the only possibilities which come to my mind.

Good if you have a source for us to see.

Anyway, usually it is ROM and Ext ROM in a package, for such releases. You can know this by unzipping the contents. If you have XXXX.nba (as in something_something.nba) file, you have the ROM. If you have tons of CAB with AutoConfig.txt (I think), you have an Ext ROM.

Why shouldn't we expect updates. If I buy a laptop with windows I get updates (in the case of my old xp machine for over 10 years) granted my hp or dell support has long since lapsed but I can still update the operating system for bug fixes and enhancements ect..

Samsung, like almost all manufacturers, for almost all devices, uses to provide a single major update, and that was Kitkat. LG seems to be special. They can manage to provide two dozen "micro updates", seemingly only fixing baseband issues affecting operation with certain providers in certain countries. No fix list, but that was the purpose of Nokia updates in the past.

My LG L9 got an update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 one and a half years ago, from v10x to version v20a. This went up to v20p since, and there was never the slightest noticeable difference. Even a small wifi bug remains present since v20a.

Hello, anyone who may concerns. I got a serious problem with my G900H and I cannot solve... Who might help me? This is the first time I use the Samsung phone and I have known it is very important to back up my EFS and I did it with a tool called Samsung tool. I just installed it and pressed the button for backing up to the internal storage. However, I cannot find the back-up so I considered it is useless. Then I uninstalled it and it is after I unloaded it, **** happened... Once I dial a number, a sentence ' Not registered on network' will come up. I do not know why and I restore factory settings, which is proved to be useless. Then I flashed a stock ROM by Odin and expected it will be better. However, the problem still persists and even I lost my IMEI, which turned to be '00499901.....' :( After that, I tried some other ROMs, the problem still has not be solved. Everything goes well but this. I wonder some smart guys may help me:D:D. Thank you very very much!:D:D

Hi. It's a shot in the dark but look up a tool called Samsung Tool version 16.7. It claims to assist in resetting your IMEI to the original version as per the code on your battery cover. No promises, but it's worth a try.
