[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Yasharkhan:
My proximity sensor works fine, I've tested it in the sensor test app as well as no issue during calls, the only issue I'm facing is sometimes while charging if I leave my screen off for longer times, it freezes and doesn't turn back on and I've to hard reset the phone using power and volume down, I did a clean flash of 8.1 when it came out, so what can be the problem?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] grigi93:
So to push this topic again:

seems like there is no real fix to this problem.

The thread on Google's issue tracker is full of users with the same problem but no helpful response from Google.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70819065

As stated by someone the issue is also related to hardware, since newer production models of the phone don't have the problem under 8.1. No one knows if and when Google is going to resolve this, so the only option is to RMA your phone or downgrading to 8.0 ( unacceptable for a flagship, which the most of us got because of the software).

If you are hoping for some magical fix with the next update you can use the power button to end calls (under Accessibility options) as workaround, but I'm going to RMA it.

pretty disappointing.

but I wish y'all a happy New year!

My P2XL is part of the first batch, I assume... went out the first day they started shipping.

No issues here with my proximity sensor. Works fine in calls, with Tasker, etc etc. I am on the January security build now, but it worked fine on the December build too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] grigi93:
Thanks for the heads up with the january build! unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

Maybe we had a bad sensor batch. I can't think of any other potential cause.. if its the software (seems to work for you and some others) it has to be the hardware..:mad:

RMA it is then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hickmanje2:
Just to confirm RMA fixed the issue. Must be partially hardware related.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] edmund.defelipe:
i had the same problem since dec 12, and my phone was one of the 1st batch orders. no screen protectors, reset the phone to factory 3 times with no luck. now google agreed to replace my phone. i sent the old one and the new is coming next week.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] azntiger:
I'm also having the same issue. Sensor Test app confirms that it proximity sensor believes something is in front of the phone. It's also screwing with my Double-Tap to Wake.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] emuneee:
This just started happening to me gradually over the past few weeks. Today I noticed the proximity sensor doesn't work at all on my P2 XL with Android 8.1. I'm going to see if I can RMA it. It seems like a small issue, but a lot of things are contingent on a working proximity sensor like squeeze for assistant.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 10 Gauge:
This started happening to me so I came doing some research. I was getting ready to RMA until I decided to really get in the recess of my screen protector and clean it really well, problem solved. The sensor is ultra sensitive. Even a large sized dust particle or a hair is enough to make it thinks that it's blocked. The small film of pocket lint that ends up getting in there is more than enough to do it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mistamista2000:
Yes, 10 Gauge is spot on with this. Definitely make sure the sensor just above the screen is clean. Mine was giving me all sorts of problems and I didn't realize it was dirty since I have a screen protector. After keeping it clean its been problem free since.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
Same problem here. I wiped the proximity sensor glass off and cleaned it very well and the problem mysteriously vanished
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xryptic:
Same actually, i was having this prob as well, but a couple of days ago I had enough of this nonsense and took some alcohol and rubbed over the sensor area to clean it nicely (although it looks clean before the wipe down), and lo and behold the problem is gone!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] samliew:
Just to confirm again, the phone I received after RMA did not exhibit any issues with the proximity sensor, also confirmed by users on Reddit r/GooglePixel/comments/7nqeh6 and Google product forums /forum/#!msg/phone-by-google/ZVQjR42iHlg/Fhg1r7KICAAJ
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gPhunk:
Same problem. Never had a case or screen protector. I live dangerously. :) Thought for sure it was 8.1 software related but found it curious that Google support immediately suggested a replacement phone. Which leads me to believe it's totally hardware. As a long time android supporter all the way back to the G1, I must say this phone (though brilliant in the camera department) has overall been disappointing. Hoping my replacement will have better luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] salada2k:
Hey guys,

Goto Play Store, uninstall Phone App. Problem solved. Well, let's call it a workaround. This rolls you back to a working version. This fixed all my issues related to the proximity sensor and also the screen not turning on for an incoming call when my Bluetooth earbuds are connected.

Don't forget to turn off auto updates for the Phone App until Google fix this.

Let me know if it helped.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] azntiger:
I uninstalled the Phone app and installed 15.*** apk. This didn't solve the problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] narodk:
That didn't work for me either. This sucks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] deuceduzit:
Those of you who did an RMA, are you guys getting new phones or refurbs? I just did an RMA and was offered a refurbished one... Not sure I want to go that route.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Goog1e Phone:
Refurbished phones are given out now. They used to give out new phones but seems like the end of January is when they started sending out refurbished phones.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Donga lan:
Okay, this is what you need to do. Buy airduster and nicely blow air over the top speaker. Not sure this phone is dust proof. There seems a small gap between the lower edge of the speaker grill and phone screen. You can test by yourself, take a paper the edge of paper goes for a mm or so. Use air duster few times and your proximity sensor works. I think it's not software problems, seems this pixel 2 xl has serious quality control. Google needs to recall this phone!!:p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Greenjambi:
I was on 8.1 till last week. This problem was driving me nuts. Tried Android P. Issue was still present. Downgraded to 8.0. It was partially fixed and was slightly relieved.

However I noticed it was not working all well in 8.0 either. If something was near the proximity sensor it got activated as expected but would not revert if the object was moved away.

And finally I tried your solution. Gave it a a bit of spray with an air duster. And voila!!! worked perfectly fine.

Hope this helps some people here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtfboy56:
OMG can't beleive this worked. I was about to RMA this phone until i stumbled on your answer. Don't know if I'll have problems again in the future but atleast i can do phone calls now!

Thank you so much!

[Mogul, XV6800 General] VictoryCube:
My random access has stopped working. Contacts load up, but for some reason the bar across the side is gone! I attempted to reinstall it, checked the registry to see that the settings were how they were supposed to be, and they were. I finally just installed another .cab i found for random access and it just made it so my contacts wouldn't start at all!

luckily i had backedup earlier today, but apparently the problem was then too because i still don't have random access. If anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear them.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wzach:
Here are the files for the non cab random access. Open the file names up on your computer and go into the windows and delete them as well as uninstall the cab you have.

If you want to reset your registry back to normal? Here is the origional key

":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"

You can also remove all the stuff and soft reset. make sure your contacts work and then drop all the files but the note into \Windows. redo the reg edit, you should be good.

Here you go. Let me know if that works.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] KingGanon:
where can i get the cabbed version? every download i get is the non cabbed version, and i can never get it to run, thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] VictoryCube:
I figured it out, could be help other people who can't ever seem to get random access to work.

In contacts go to Menu - Options - Uncheck Show alphabetical idex

That fixed the problem for me.

My friend rooted my Note4 and installed a custom ROM. The phone worked great for a while but then something happened. When I start the phone up it goes to start up loop. When I reboot to recovery it says the OS is missing. I don't have enough knowledge to solve this issue so I have to ask you if you could help me to get my phone working. I don't know what information I should give but I'm sure you know the right questions. Thanks in advance.

[HTC U11  Accessories] LibertyMonger:
Great review, I agree almost entirely. I had the Matte for about a month before I had to peel it off for a warranty repair. I hated to do it cause I did enjoy it very much. Couldn't even tell it was on there and even though the high gloss back of the U11 is very nice, I very much appreciated the matte look and feel just as much. Made me feel more confident and comfortable using it. Although I prefer tgsp better, I really liked the phantomskinz screen protector. The orange peel is nothing like Zagg, It is hardly noticeable. The reason why I appreciated the phantomskinz screen protector is cause I experienced how easy the U11 screen scratches in my first week. Luckily I returned that one lol. I can say it is much better than zagg and top quality compared to other alternatives. I would most definitely rather have the phantomskinz than some of the other cheaper alternatives. It applies and lasts so much better.
[HTC U11  Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Great to hear you're enjoying your skin too!
[HTC U11  Accessories] cjrivera04:
Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for a matte skin. Got a matte front screen cover but couldn't find the rear matte skin. Going to purchase. Thanks again!!!
[HTC U11  Accessories] Alphae:
Thank you for posting a very good review and HQ photos. I have one question: Aren't you worry about scratches on the Camera when you put your phone on a table? This is the only thing I'm worried about and makes me wary about not using a Cover on the back
[HTC U11  Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Thank you! It's hard to say really, the 10 had a sapphire lens that didn't scratch at all during my 2 years of use without a case. That said, my One X and M8 both scratched up significantly. I don't believe the U11 is using a sapphire lens, but mine is flawless after a few months use so I'm not as concerned as with previous HTC devices. You can order glass lens protectors on Aliexpress and such, I can't comment on image quality degradation on the U11 but I didn't notice anything too significant on my M8 though it did have a vastly less resolving camera.
[HTC U11  Accessories] Cootehill:
Thanks to ryanjsoo for its far and wide review. I prefer a matte screen cover too due to no fingerprints and less light reflections. Fitted "Klearlook" on my Phone. It comes with a back cover too but it is very nice and gives the slippy surface a better grip. The Front cover is very easy to put on but it looks very simple too. It goes not around the edges and has only square cut-outs for Fingerprint and Camera/speaker/sensors which is not so nice but in view of the low price is it maybe okay. (amazon uk £5.99)
[HTC U11  Accessories] CXTKRS1:
Thank you for this! I was about to make a thread asking about screen protectors since I purchased a Spigen when I first got my U11 and it is starting to really lose adhesion in the center of the screen. I can warranty it out but according to reviews some people have to go through 3-5 protectors until they find one that is without a rainbow bubble. Checking online (Amazon and NewEgg) it seems hardly any of these companies are getting decent reviews when it comes to screen protectors for the U11 (maybe user error?) My clear Spigen rear cover looks awful now too and has a habit of trapping dust and debris where it wraps around the side of the phone which leads to small hairline scratches forming at the corners. Plus that thick rubber matte hides that brilliant Solar Red finish.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prerit_m:
hi, this is my first time on xda and I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong here. I'm using nexus 5 since last 3 years and I was thinking of rooting it cause there is no official update after 6.0.1. so, I unlocked the bootloader installed twrp recovery and when I tried opening the custom recovery for the first time ever and it opened with some loading screen for 3-4 seconds then turned off and got stuck on the google screen and after 2-3 seconds it starts again. I searched everywhere but there was nothing like my problem. Now I don't know what to do cause I can't even open the custom recovery to wipe the data.

can anyone help me out in this situation?

You flashed twrp using fast boot commands?

After flashing twrp, did you boot into twrp from the fast boot screen?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigority:
This is called a boot loop.

First off I'd like to know what did you do to unlock your bootloader? What version of TWRP did you use? Are you sure it was for the right device?

But what you're in is called a boot loop, which is the result of a error in the OS. If it's still doing this what I want you to do is wait until it is shut down then hold power + VOL Up + VOL Down and wait until it brings up the bootloader (if it does at all.) If you access that hit the VOL Down button twice to open recovery mode. If it tries to enter the TWRP custom recovery and you get that error again, I can't help ya. If it enters the stock recovery you're golden. Hit the VOL down button until you're on the wipe data/factory reset and hit the power button. This should clear out your phone. Hope this helps.

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
I have an LG X Power LS 755 as a secondary/wifi phone that has 2gb ram/16gb rom & Mediatek MT6755/Mali-T860 MP2. My normal phone is a ZTE Blade Z Max which is 2gb ram/32gb rom & Snapdragon 435/Adreno 505. Mortal Kombat X runs fine on the LG unless you're playing for lengthy amount of time, same with the ZTE. CSR Racing 2 is the same on the ZTE...runs fine but after a while becomes choppy, probably because my ram is so low. LG however has difficulty running CSR 2 in general, it's choppy from the start. How does this Kirin chipset hold up to these 2? Seeing that the gpu on it is actually a step or 2 below the X Power (LS755 model, the other models have a crappier gpu), but has 3gb ram...
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
While using a slightly optimized version of the Kirin 650 series, Kirin 659 it uses the Mali T830MP2 which is used among many of their budget segment.

The predecessor to the Honor 7X is the Honor 6X and the performance should be pretty much similar.

Here is an example video of it's performance the Honor 6X

I just dont understand the phone market. 2gb ram has been around for a good 4 years, yet it finally is just now starting to become the norm. Yet the OS uses half of that.
