[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] arsenicas:
Hi guys. Just did a quick check to see if this was discussed anywhere else here but didn't find anything. Has anybody tried installing project treble ROMs on their device? Certainly hasn't been a lot of threads for p10 plus but I have seen lots of threads elsewhere and decided to try one. Currently have LOS 15 installed, which is working quite well. If anyone has tried it, were you able to use it as a daily driver? I will report back myself after a few days.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] bzadi:
Hello everyone!

So my problem started a few weeks ago when i flashed ABC Rom on my MiMix2, the proximity sensor, in calls, started to not work after a time, but it was a gradual process, until it didn't work at all. So a few days ago i decided to try and solve the problem. I've read in different places that it could be the persist partition, that holds the drivers for the sensor.

I have tried flashing the persist.img with fastboot from the original xiaomi site, but it kept telling me the partition is write protected. Tried with adb but then i couldn't mount the partition. In the end i ended up reflashing the original image with MIUI Flashing Tool, modifying the image to flash the persist image, with no positive results, except i could mount the partition again. I then looked in the persist.img file to find out it is empty, all of them that i could find are almost empty(some empty folders).

I fount a thread on XDA with some sensor files for my phone that i had to copy in my root/sensors directory, so i did and nothing changed.

The weird thing is that after all of this, when i enter the calibration app that that MIUI has and hold my hand on the sensor sometimes it detects my hand.

Sooo.... after all of this is my problem a software one or a hardware one (if its a hardware one, its a strage one, because the sensor works but its just weak).

Can anyone help me with some answers please. Thanks and sorry for the long post.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
Probably the custom ROM causing the issue

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Drogor:
Hi all,

I've bought a brand new Mi Mix 2S device, and I'm having some issues with the proximity sensor. When accepting a phone call or listening a WhatsApp audio message the screen goes black. It won't light up again until the person calling terminates the call; with WhatsApp audio message it's still worse: I have to lock the screen and unlock it again in order to see something. I've tried to recalibrate it using the hardware test (*#*#*****#*# - I can't remeber the precise number atm), but in the proximity sensor menu the reading is 0 no matter of the sensor covering.

Is there any way I can solve this issue ? Is it a hardware problem ?

Thanks in advice
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] rainbow99:
I have the exact same problem. It seems to happen frequently but not 100% of the time.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Drogor:
I'm wondering if it could be related to the glass screen protector interfering with the ultrasonic proximity sensor...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] fopoku2k2:
I think it is. Because mine started doing that when I dropped the phone once on the road. But as the other user said it doesn't do that 100% of the time
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Drogor:
My protector is not broken though... anyway where is the sensor positioned ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] fopoku2k2:
No idea
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Drogor:
The thing is mine does that 100% of the times... I fear it might be a hardware problem
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] chili_red:
Here's a teardown of the Mix 2s and it shows the location of the sensor.

https://www.myfixguide.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s-teardown/

No problems with mine but I've only had it a couple days, I do have a glass screen protector coming and will see if that makes a difference once installed.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Drogor:
Thanks to everyone for your help. I've rebooted the phone several times and after the second reboot the calibration seemed to work. Now the sensor seems to work properly (at least at this very moment :eek: ).

Seems it was a software issue

mine was working well until i flashed the new global beta. nownproximity sensor not working for me.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
I tried nearly everything to fix the issue with my proximity sensor, which completely stopped working.

I have also created a poll on xiaomi.eu forum (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...nsor-work-as-in-non-ultrasonic-devices.46293/) in order to understand which was the

normal

functionality of the ultrasonic sensor. Indeed, I suspect that my sensor never worked as expected, as the screen often switched on during calls even if no notifications were received.

According to the hardware test, the sensor doed not work at all.

I tried to flash the persist.img partition but nothing as changed.

Instead, all the other sensors are working fine.

In order to understand if mine and yours is an hardware or software issue, could you please report if you are

100% sure

that before flashing a custom rom the ultrasonic sensor worked properly?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] esteras:
I had exactly the same problem (sensor not working all the time or anormal behavior) and it was a hw fault. My solution was a warranty replacement. Now everything works fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
As I wrote, my guess is that I also have an hardware issue. The sensor never worked properly and eventually stopped working. The fact that I also flashed a rom during that period is just a coincidence.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

One last question: how does the ultrasonic sensor work now? Just like non-ultrasonic sensors? The screen remains switched-off as expected during calls?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] esteras:
Now it works as the other phones that I had, very fast. Switch off when I put it near my ear and switch on again when I put it far away. There isn't any difference.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
Thank you very much.

Since my sensor

never

worked that good, I suppose it was faulty from the beginning.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] rodaven:
I use to have that problem too, but then I realized that could be a problem with the case I was using. I took it off and now I don't have any issue with the sensor
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
Thank you but it is not my... case :D

I use the one provided in the box by Xiaomi and moreover the issue is there even if I remove the case.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] OSGuilherme:
In my case is the Chinese rubber case. The original works fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Renzolino:
Same problem guys. I mix 128 GB 2s, sent in assistance. I have the last beta at the moment, and I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one.

Unfortunately, there are people who listen to the audio whatsapp from the lower speaker. I immediately noticed this flaw and now I'm waiting for you to come back from the assistance, hoping they will not harm anything else.

I update you on how it will end, as I assume it is only a hardware problem. I did some tests, I do not have the film and I removed the cover too.

I think a series of smartphones was born already faulty and we got those.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] fanSte89:
I had the same problem after the update. sensor was not reacting at all. i never thought that dirt around the screen would be the problem. just take a thin needle and carefully slide around the screen to take the dirt out. the sensor is positioned somewhere on top screen so i just cleaned it everywhere and the sensor started to work
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Renzolino:
can you indicate with a photo where you have cleaned?

I tried as indicated in the attached photo.

I tried with a corner of a sheet of paper, with a needle, with a toothbrush with soft bristles, but nothing.[IMG="Sensor"]http://i68.tinypic.com/13yqd0w.jpg[/IMG]
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] fanSte89:
i can't upload a picture it says "bad request". I just cleaned everywhere around screen and in the top middle where the speaker is i cleaned too. But took me a few tries before i got it to work.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
As you can read some posts above, I had a similar issue with proximity sensor. I also visited the official MI Store in Italy in order to have suggestions regarding the assistance. Then, suddenly, the sensor started working again! I did not flash anything (I mean, recently... in the past weeks I tried every possible solution but I could not fix the sensor) nor I did clean anything. Still, during the last two weeks the sensor worked flawlessly. I really cannot say why...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Renzolino:
strange.

if you are from Milan can I have your contact fb?

I would like to ask you about the info.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Ezito:
I was having the same problem. My proximity sensor was dead. But I tried cleaning it with a needle (what I think it didn't make that difference) and updated to Global Stable 10.0.3.0 (Android pie and a lot of bug fixes, 1.7GB of OTA size) and I think this is what fixed it. Please, try this version of MIUI.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] macmx:
AFAIK the last version is 10.0.2.0
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
Nope:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Vin87:
There are two areas, the one you highlight and than the same area on the right of the speaker. I've cleaned them both with a A4 (thy were so full of gunk in the beginning that the A4 didnt want to go through). Needless to say, I know have a perfect working proximity sensor again (device is a year old, I'm using a Mi Mix 2). There is really a small slot there and the corner of the A4 should dissapear in it for like 5 mm
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Specialosio:
Guys remember that the 2s does not have a proximity sensor but has a ultrasonic sensor on top of the display, I had the same issue and then I realized was because of a not original cover which cover that sensor just a bit. Try to see if you still have the problem without cover.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] iam.yasser:
Fix for proximity sensor issue

Dial * # * # 64663 # * # *

First test your proximity sensor from the list.

Come back to the main page.

Tap on the 3 little dots on the top right corner and select "additional tools".

Tap Proximity Sensor.

Increase the level to 7 or 8 or whatever you want and test it and choose pass.

Go back and exit.

Enjoy your phone back again!!!

Thank me later! ?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Megabit:
Hello,

in my case I had to lower the sensitivity to -7db to avoid turning off the screen during a video call or listening to an audio message.

Another way to enter the technical menu if you do not want to remember the sequence seen above is to enter the settings --> System Info and tap 5 times on "Kernel version".
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Al3xxxinho:
You should clean the dirt that is accumulating on the top, between the frame and the glass. A friend had the same issue and I've fixed it by sliding the corner of a piece of paper between.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] evronetwork:
Does this only work on MIUI? tried on lineageos 16 and doesn't do anything :D

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] JC-LGMS:
Hello,

I had a problem with my proximity sensor but I discovered, thanks to this thread, that it was my case which mess/covered the proximity sensor.

You have to try without a case

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] evronetwork:
So in custom rom you can't adjust the sensitivity, if I flash MIUI then custom rom does the sensitivity keep the level I set?

During a call, when I finish a call the display remains black(50/50 chance, it might work properly it might not)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] himnosiss:
I don't have protection and mine do say 5 all the time for proximity sensor, even if I change the sensitivity from low or hi.

Did someone found a solution?

What also worked is to clean the tiny fins around the ear speaker with a peace o paper, you will see if you insert a paper there, what I am talking about. For mine worked, for a while after I cleaned all the dust that was in there. Mainly was pocket dust and I guess, that is actually the cause, the sensor being ultrasonic.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stark0:
That is happening to me, always say 5.0. I increased the sensitivity to 12dB and it seems to work better, but not perfect. It's very annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] xumixu:
I also had issues related to the case. Ended up using the good old Dremel and made it a slot. Even with that i had to enhance the sensitivity to make it work properly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Shei_alves:
same problem

I have the same problem here. Mi MIx 2s. I've noticed this on Whatsapp.

I wonder if the proximity sensor is detecting the phone case... maybe.

Somebody help. The phone is new and powerful. :(
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] xumixu:
In my case, it was the case. Try removing your case and then play an audio in WhatsApp.

If you like the case and don't want to remove it/modify it, you can disable the proximity sensor, by setting a very low sensitivity on the secret menu.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] noobtoob:
Yep. I cut a notch out of the top of my case, haven't had issues since. Looks a little stupid, but oh well.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] lokkiyo:
Did this + cleaning the frame with alcohol.

It works again!

Many thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Oximate:
Hello evryone, I was recently having that issue with my mi mix 2s. But then I discovered that there is an option in phone call settings where you can either turn on or turn off proximity sensor. For some reason mine was turned off. It's working normally now :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] endera:
turn on or turn off proximity sensor?? where
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Oximate:
Go to incoming call settings and there you can turn it on or off
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] xumixu:
That only works for xiaomi's phone app. If you play a whatsapp audio, the screen will go to black if sensor is dirty/covered.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] magnus48:
For me, the position for the proximity sensor is a little to right from the the speaker.

[IMG="proximity sensor position"]https://u01.appmifile.com/images/2017/10/12/b6972544-1e86-413e-85d5-f0f780a1b827.jpg[/IMG]

There is a little hole smaller than the speaker one, that I've cleaned with a paper and my proximity sensor worked again!

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

There are two holes, one at left of the speaker and other to the right of the speaker. With a very tiny paper i've cleaned both. Everything is fine with the proximity sensor now.

Cleaning the top beside the speaker solved my problem. I did use a normal A4 paper. You really have to stick it inside the bezels, like you were trying to open the phone. Now it is working flawless. This problem was the only thing pissing me off with this phone.
