It's an Xposed module, so it'll be under the Xposed installer. When activated through the Xposed installer module screen, it is active. There are no settings at this time. Try making sure it is enabled through Xposed and then restarting your device.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bino92:
I have to report that since some days ago this module is not working anymore; sometimes I got again "proximity" as kernel wakelock and "wake:com.google.android.gms/.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService" as partial wakelock (which I've never had before). The only solution I found to stop them for a while is to reboot phone

Is it compatible with Android 5.0?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mochaffff:
For Android 4.3

Please make this compatible for android 4.3! Really waiting for CM10.2!

Hey guys

I got a samsung S4 GT9505. Using Google Play edition Rom 4.4.4 but this issue also started with stock samsung S4 touchwiz

Got screen with digitizer replaced and the proximity sensor doesnt work

I tried this app to but no luck. No change

When I make a call the screen goes black and I cannot use the phone

I downloaded a proximity sensor app. It says it detects it but it keeps saying 0.0 cm
[Xposed Framework Modules] rohitece06:
Can somebody please help me disable the proximity sensor without using this module because I am on Lollipop? I will really appreciate the help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ShawnWiosna:
Just wanted to chime in and say thanks. I using the g3 ported rom on the g2 and this mod worked for me. Thank heavens because i was about to losed my mind... Lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
It should be working for 4.3. I posted a fix back in July for that. What phone are you using?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
There is no Lollipop support at this time, as there is no Xposed for Lollipop. I will look into a way of manually adding Lollipop support.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hussein1:
Please help me Please help me

Xposed Does not support Lollipop and this Module not work.

Is there a way to manually to disable the Proximity sensor?:confused:

LG G3 - Android 5.0 ready for trash

Hi,

It's very kind to develop such an app.:good: because a broken proximity sensor (totally gone = proven by several sensor testing apps) is a LIVING HELL and it drives me TOTALLY NUTS not being able to disable this damn screen blackout 'Aaaaarrrrrghhhhh' : I become paranoid of picking up the phone not being able to hang up and having a black screen afterwards (battery has to be removed to restore the screen!) ... I can better throw away my fancy Smartphone and buy me an old Nokia phone with real physical buttons :silly: (I don't get it why LG doesn't make it an option to disable this feature for people who don't press their phone against their head)

I have been trying all kinds of apps to solve this (of which "proximity sensor lite" worked best - less worse)

I hoped this app would be able to do the thing with my LG G3 but unfortunately it didn't.

Should just the installation of the .apk be enough to disable the screen blackout during(and after) a call or are there other settings to done ?

If you could get it to work on an LG G3 - Android 5.0 I would be gratefull.

Kind regards

.
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
This is an Xposed module. If you are on Lollipop (Android 5.0), then you do not currently have Xposed installed, as Xposed doesn't have Lollipop support yet. Without Xposed installed, this module is useless. If you would like to use it, you'll have to downgrade to KitKat (Android 4.4.*) in order for this to work. If you do downgrade to Kitkat, install Xposed, and it still doesn't work, then feel free to repost in this thread for help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kurt72:
Alternative found after 3 days of searching

I finally found an alternative :o:o: went to the hidden settings menu of my LG D855 (LG G3) =for version D855 dial 3845#*855# and set the proximity sensor distance to 5.5 instead of 5.0. When I receive a call now, I have enough time to push the speaker button in order to keep the screen on. What an awkward problem and why is it not a visible option (a proximity sensor is a less important feature than the phone) but now I'm happy that I can use the phone again :good::good:

Hope this post helps more people with similar problems.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dannejanne:
I have installed this module on my Meizu MX4 and it seems to work. Screen does not turn off while on a call.

The reason I wanted to disable the proximity sensor is because I have PowerManager.mProximitywakelock while sleeping. In one night that wakelock stod for 1 hour and 40 minute wakelocks making my phone drain a lot when I sleep (I have the phone close in my bed). So I will simply try to disable it and see if that wakelock will go away. I don't really need the proximity sensor anyway. I can gladly use the power button or long press home button to turn off screen while in call then just double tap the screen to wake it up when done. Proximity sensors have always been sketchy messing with me while trying to use the phone while in a call. I'm better off without it really.

To early to tell really but for now that wakelock does not even appear anymore in the statistics. And I have messed with the phone while it's in deep sleep, covering the sensor with my hand, turning the phone upside down etc. So this just might have fixed it but too early to tell yet.
[Xposed Framework Modules] arktay:
Please make it compatible with lollipop! I need it! It worked perfectly on KitKat Nexus 4
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
Xposed is now on Lollipop and this module should work out-of-the-box. I don't have a Lollipop device, so I can't test it, but let me know if it doesn't work for you all. Check right here for the installation instructions for Xposed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] arktay:
Can someone can test it on Lollipop? My device is not rooted yet and it's not mine. I must be sure that it works =\
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrp1375:
I Tested it on Lollipop on Xperia Z and sadly doesn't work

I use the infected lollipop builds and the alpha version of xposed for lp
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
Alright, I'll see what I can do about that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] phony123:
What a relief! Thank you so much!

Hi, WardellChandler!

A few days ago I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy s3 to CyanogenMod 11. I did that 'cause I heard a lot of good things about it and I wanted to get a fixed webkit component.

I found a lot of good tweaks so far - including this one regarding disabling the proximity sensor.

Many people obviously use this module to disable a broken sensor. Okay, fine. But I want to add my motivation for using this module to this discussion.

I am partially sighted and I need to get very close to the phone's display to read its contents. Now.... Many of you may already be able to guess what happens? :) While on a phone call I wasn't able to use the phone, e.g. the browser to look up small bits of information, 'cause, yeah! the phone's display would turn black when I came closer to the display! I really do not understand why this "on/off" setting is not included in the normal settings dialog of each and every ROM?

Thanks for putting up this module! Now I can use the phone, regardless of how close my face comes to the screen ;) And when I want to turn off the display, one push of the power button and -> done :)

Really useful module! Thumbs up!!!

Has there been in more progress on lollipop compatibility? Was gonna try it out my G2 as soon as I get a chance but thought I'd as first.
[Xposed Framework Modules] peppe130:
Hi! Thanks for this MOD. It works like a charm on my Galaxy S4 4.4.2 :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
I believe that it should work on Lollipop, but I still don't have Lollipop to test out with, but I"ll be getting a 5.0.2. rom on my phone in the next few days, so I'll try it out then.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tusher3365:
This module is obvious for me because I have a faulty proximity sensor. It worked on CM based lollipop rom v5.0.2 in Yuga such as Resurrection Remix, Validus rom. But not working on lollipop 5.1 . Can you have a look on that? :o
[Xposed Framework Modules] mido1122:
i need my sensor back

i had problem with the sensor and i tried many methods to solve the problem

last thing was disabling the sensor

now the problem is gone

but i want my sensor to work again

now i uninstalled the mod and the sensor still not working

how to make it work again i dont want to wipe data
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
Have you tried disabling the Xposed framework and restarting your phone?
[Xposed Framework Modules] danny19901:
My most needed module for my Xperia Z

Yuga as proximity turns screen off as soon as you make a call or even worst in 5.1 when I get a call screen goes off so can't answer because of my proximity so I had to go back to 5.0.2 and must say with out this my phone wouldn't be a phone as proximity is awful and would make it impossible to top up etc...

Checking a few posts seems like a few people have same issue on this phone with proximity anyway the module seems to work perfectly on KitKat up to 5.0.2 just not on 5.1 but have to say it's much appreciated for your hard work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lonerstoner:
Problem with this Module

Basically i have an LG G3 D851 (T mobile) and the proximity sensor is enabled

By default on the lockscreen i dont know why. The reason why i got this app

Was to disable that feature permenantly. I tend to pull my phone out under the

Desk in class but I fail becuase the desk is too close to my lap which is right between

Where i slip my phone out. The lockscreen immediately locks again and i have no

Choice but to pull it up to the desk and use it. I have got caught so many times its

Not even funny. This module disables it during the calling screen but apparently not

In the lockscreen. I really need a solution. Thanks :cyclops:
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
I'm not sure that there's anything I can do to fix it. It sounds like whatever LG is doing for the lock screen isn't using Android's default system libraries, and without their source code (or an LG G3), I don't believe I can adapt this module to work with the lockscreen.

I'm going to look into it, though.

What version of Android are you currently using?
[Xposed Framework Modules] lonerstoner:
Android 4.4.2 Sir.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BrownDog99:
Great module man. This saves my moto x because proximity sensor isn't working so I got the black screen while calling and away from face, this fixes that. Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] esarve:
great module! Hoping for 5.1 Support :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] danny19901:
[MENTION=5306794]esarve[/MENTION] yeah hope to see 5.1 & 5.1.1 support (Lollipop support in general) best and most used module tbh I wish Google added an option in android tbh would be better for those who have proximity issues
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Can you add a blacklist option?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Iceman248:
Any progress on the Tasker support? I came across this trying to temporarily disable my proximity sensor for use with the SoundAbout app that enables it even during speakerphone.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
There is an Xposed 5.1 update. I don't have a working 5.1 device to test this out with, though, so you all should check it out and report back to me if it works or not.

I may add a blacklist, but I'll definitely add the Tasker support. I forgot about it before, so I'll try to get to that sometime this weekend.
[Xposed Framework Modules] danny19901:
I will try it out with the new xposed update :D and will report back
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fata1-3rr01z:
Hey this module now works with the latest xposed update!
[Xposed Framework Modules] dmitry.matora:
Any plans to make it working with 5.1?

Do you at least know why it's not working on it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
It does currently work with Xposed 5.1 if you have the latest Xposed update, which can be found here.

Note: This version was updated as of May 14th, so if you having installed that version, then it still won't work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dmitry.matora:
Oh right, i had xposed-sdk22-5.1.0-arm-20150514

installed xposed-sdk22-arm-20150514 and now it does work

Tada! Thank you very much :)

Disable Proximity Sensor on Moto E

Hi,

I am trying to use your software " Disable Proximity Sensor " on Motorola Moto E, Android 4.4.4

I have successfully downloaded and installed the app. The app shoes in Settings -> Apps. I cannot, however, see the app on the general app listing on the cell phone " desktop ". Thus, I cannot manually run the app and see whether there are any settings. All of the options, such as " Force Stop " and " Clear " are greyed and disabled which is OK because I do not want to stop the application.

Just installed this way, the app does not seem to disable the proximity sensor which continues to turn the display off when dialing. As you have said, the main idea of the app is to make the software always show there is nothing in the proximity, I. e. the proximity sensor is uncovered with nothing around.

Are there any tricks or settings to be able to do so? Anything which I have not done correctly just by installing the app?

Thanks.

Steven
[Xposed Framework Modules] MilanStojkovic:
This is an xposed module, not a standalone app. You need xposed framework in order to get this to work. And in order to run xposed, you need to be rooted. If you are rooted, visit this link http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

Coolpad 9080w

Hi! Unfortunally, it doesn't work with Coolpad 9080w. Instals OK, but doesn't turn off sensor. Android 4.2.1, rooted.
[Xposed Framework Modules] StevenStanleyBayes:
This is to thank you all and to inform you I am a proud owner of a rooted Motorola Moto E XT1023 with stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat and, along with the marvelous SuperSU, BusyBox and XDA Framework and Installer.

However, the happiest I am with the Proximity Sensor software discussed in this thread. You are all great and I thank you for your per smart software!

The application works perfectly and disables the proximity sensor totally during a phone call and not only : I have developed a software which I am expected to publish which does the other way around : keeps the proximity sensor always on in a foreground service and displays the accuracy and the distance in the notifications. The software for to disable the sensor discussed in this thread is immensely powerful and undoes the softer I have developed to keep the proximity sensor disabled always. The value for distance does always read 100.0cm ( 1 meter which is almost 1 yard ), which, I think, is the maximal value for the cellphone.

Also, as posted earlier, the suggested method with using echo 0 and echo 1 in the proximity_sensor folder does not work for this cellphone because there is no such a folder nor anything related to a proximity sensor by name. Obviously, I have not scanned all directories but, I thing, I have scanned all in the sensor directory.

No offence, I like the echo 0 and 1 way but, I do not think this would work for this cell phone.

Any advice in the subject is greatly appreciated.

MANY THANKS TO THE DESIGNER AND ALL IN THE XDA FIELD!

Some humour : I have been trying to make own software to disable the proximity sensor just by the system which, I think, is impossible but I have tried. I will continue to fight and explore su, BusyBox and other ways until I probably arrive back to XDA. In the process of development, I have read some threads to say someone wanted software to keep the proximity sensor always enabled, so, before the cellphone is put in the pocket, have the screen off. I, therefore, decided to publish this SIMPLE AND BASIC software after some more cleaning. Most of the software was copied and pasted from people in this and many other forums. THANK YOU FOR THIS TOO. Again, any help and advice is welcome.

AND PLEASE, DONATE TO THE DESIGNER OF THE PROXIMITY SENSOR DISABLE SOFTWARE DISCUSSED IN THIS THREAD. I WOULD ALSO TRY.
[Xposed Framework Modules] keyman91:
Hi is it possible to make a setting for this module to only work during an unlock event? I have an LG G2 and I use a cover that sometimes obstructs the proximity sensor causing the phone to not unlock thinking it's an accidental pocket unlock.

I want to retain the proximity sensor function though so the screen can auto turn off when in call.

Thanks!

I see people asking for 5.1 support. Has the developer updated for lollipop yet? I ask because my 5.1 moto x works fine
[Xposed Framework Modules] Honey Arun:
not working on moto x 5.1

Hi

Downloaded and installed it. Unfortunately it did not help. I have moto x with 5.1 running on it...do letme know if you can help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BrownDog99:
What did you do? I have a moto x running 5.1 and I don't have an issue. You obviously installed xposed by romracer? Checked it off in modules? My moto x had a motherboard replacement and I must of messed the proximity sensor or something because it stopped working, so I installed this module and sure enough I get the proximity sensor shut off so I don't get the black screen during calls anymore. What model do you have? I have used this module on stock 4.4.4, and 5.1. Also tried it with eclipse 4.4.4 and it also worked with that custom. If you get screen on during call the whole time, it's working. What happens? Do you get a black screen during calls?
[Xposed Framework Modules] NoyNoying:
Thank you so much for this module. Because yesterday I bought an Otterbox Armor Series. But it has a problem with the proximity sensor. Everytime I call or received a call the screen is turning off, due to the otterbox casing. I've searched for how many hours looking for a solution and I finally find this module. Again thank you so much bro! ?

This module is amazing. Thank you so mucb dev! :thumbup:

I know this is premature but this module does not work with the nexus 6p. I have a tempered glass screen protector and it is causing an issue while sending/receiving phone calls. Thank you for this module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
Premature, schmeemature. Okay, that's not really a word but I just updated it and it should work now. Give it another go and let me know if it does.

Wow that was quick! It is working great so far. I just want to say thank you for the quick response.
[Xposed Framework Modules] folusmile:
Does it work on lollipop?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Shimakaze:
I've been using it on Lollipop for a while now. It works flawlessly.

Now it would be great if it also works on Marshmallow, but apparently it causes bootloops. This mod is the only thing holding me back from upgrading to 6.0.

Edit: Just looked at the list of working mods in 6.0, and this mod has been updated to be working. 6.0 here I come!
[Xposed Framework Modules] folusmile:
You mean it causes bootloop on lollipop??
[Xposed Framework Modules] Shimakaze:
No, there are no issues in Lollipop. My bootloop comment was about Marshmallow, but it does work now according to the mod author.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Shimakaze:
Just tested DPS 1.0.2 on Chroma 6.0, and I can confirm that the mod works as expected. Thanks for the fast update, [MENTION=5535147]WardellChandler[/MENTION]!
[Xposed Framework Modules] synesthete:
I just want to say thank you for the update! Your module is what keeps my phone useable.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ZipAddict:
Thanks for this mod! my wife has cracked screen on her sprint galaxy s3 and calls black out when i upgraded her to cm12.1 lollipop. downloaded hardware disabler app to disable proximity and after a couple weeks noticed her cpu % was running ridiculous high and hotplugging was not working properly. uninstalled hardware disabler and all was well again but back to black screen in calls. your mod is only other thing that works and does not affect cpu % or hotplugging! she would still be on kitkat if it was not for this. keep up the good work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Anderson2:
Cannot install update from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. It says previous app has different signature.

What to do?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
I should have said this in the version settings, but if you get that error, uninstall and then install the new version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Anderson2:
That worked. But why did you change the signature?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
It's been a long while, but I believe the older version was not a signed APK, while the new one is. I should have released it as signed from the beginning, but I can't change the past.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Shepguessed:
[MENTION=5535147]WardellChandler[/MENTION] Thank you for this module! It prevented me from throwing my girlfriends phone across the room. We can now finally hangup on phone calls WHENEVER we want! That sensor was driving me mad. Great work!

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
I know you all have had some problems with this module in the past, but I recently took another look at it and realized an issue that was keeping it from working on some devices and in most non-dialer apps. I've also added in Tasker support since some of you have requested the ability to use that, and now you don't have to reboot when turning the sensor on and off.

I don't know if you all are still having any of these problems, but you did deserve an update. I hope this helps you all out!
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
It's been quite a while but Tasker support is here now!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ffstudios:
I solved my proximity sensor problem a while before this. I had forgotten to replace the rubber grommet that surrounds the sensor when I replaced the screen and digitizer over the summer. I popped it out of my old, cracked shell and voila - it solved the problem instantly.

But if I should ever have this problem again, this mod will be the first I come to!

Can you show me the screenshot or the logs that come with this error?
[Xposed Framework Modules] joonkeat:
it is really a good idea for ageing phone like n7100. would be greater to have blacklist or whitelist option, as some others app like camera or cpu-z will be using sensors to work. thanks :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
I haven't created an explicit blacklist/whitelist option for it yet, but you can use Tasker to the same effect since I did add in Tasker support.
[Xposed Framework Modules] elmdh:
The module works very good on my nexus 4. I now would like to install a rom, that doesn't admit xposed. Is there a way to transform the app in a flashsable file?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
Eh...I'm not sure. It's something that I've considered, but and it might be possible, but the risks are pretty great. It could potentially mess up all sensors on the device. So at this point, I don't know.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BrownDog99:
Why don't you just increase the time to the lock screen from the screen off
