I have the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (lisa) device, originally with the EEA software.

Suffering a lot because of the "proximity sensor bug" and being stupid enough not to research properly before buying the damn phone. You know, it's famous, they didn't put a proper proximity sensor inside, but somethnig ultrasonic blah-blah and it doesn't work okay, so the screen wouldn't turn off when in conversation.

Now, they didn't fix this in the official MIUI 13 EEA, or they don't know how and they don't care. I was wondering if the same proximity sensor bug is present in the Xiaomi.eu ROM, given the fact it's based on Chinese ROM and frequently updated? I would gladly flash it, I want to know because it takes some time to unlock the bootloader and some time to install everything back.

Or, if somebody found a way to fix this nonsense somehow...

Thank you.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] MrDSM:
For me i am on MIUI 13 and the proximity censor works normal for me.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] martin.kozhukliev:
EMIU 13? Maybe you mean MIUI 13? What exactly is the software version ? Mine is 13.0.5.0 SKOEUXM

Do you have a screen protector and a case? It seems it's somehow related to them...
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] sql2:
I'm on the latest update and proximity sensor is working fine. No issues at all.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] martin.kozhukliev:
Pity... So many people are reporting this issue

Could it be related to the factory screen protector?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] sql2:
I don't think so. I have factory screen protector installed.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] bill93:
Bonjour,

J'ai le même problème avec ce téléphone depuis que je l'ai acheté.

J'ai laissé la protection d'écran d'origine et j'ai une coque de protection.

Je suis sur MIUI 12.5.14.0 RKOMIXM.

Lorsque je mets le téléphone à l'oreille (avec ou sans coque de protection), l'écran ne s'éteint presque jamais. Je suis tout le temps obligé de l'éteindre moi-même pour qu'il ne réagisse pas accidentellement avec mon visage. Quand j'active le haut-parleur tout en étant en communication, l'écran s'éteint parfois tout seul sans raison.

J'attends que MIUI 13 soit disponible afin de voir si cette mise à jour règle ce beug mais je n'y crois pas trop.

Si quelqu'un a trouvé une solution, je veux bien la connaître.

Merci

Hello,

I have the same problem with this phone since I bought it.

I left the original screen protector and have a protective shell.

I'm on MIUI 12.5.14.0 RKOMIXM.

When I put the phone to my ear (with or without a protective case), the screen almost never turns off. I have to turn it off myself all the time so it doesn't accidentally react with my face. When I activate the loudspeaker while on a call, sometimes the screen turns off by itself for no reason.

I'm waiting for MIUI 13 to be available to see if this update fixes this bug but I don't really believe it.

If anyone has found a solution, I would like to know it.

Thank you
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] martin.kozhukliev:
Unfortunately, it seems Xiaomi doesn't care about this problem. Its quite common though. There's even a poll in a popular Russian forum about proximity sensor work satisfaction.

I cannot say it can be reproduced 100%, but it happens in like 85-90% of conversations and it really messes things up.

I am surprised that so few people are discussing it here. It is a real problem and one that cannot just be ignored
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] MFN77:
You are one of the lucky few. This sensor issue is making me hate my phone when I'm actually using it like a phone. If this issue wasn't happening this phone would be perfect for me. I couldn't find any solutions and I checked everywhere trust me. I also tried eu rom but it didn't solve it. Now I'm on custom pixel os rom and it doesn't solve it either.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] martin.kozhukliev:
Sounds grim... I think not only they don't care that much about the problem, but they also CANNOT fix it, due to the lack of real infrared proximity sensor in the phone.

Pity! It's a really good phone, apart for that issue.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] bill93:
Oui, c'est vrai que c'est un très bon téléphone. Le top en rapport qualité-prix ! Je suis passé sur la ROM européenne (donc de MIUI 12 à MIUI 13) mais comme je m'y attendais, ça n'a pas corrigé le problème. Je vais tenter la ROM pixelOS mais je ne m'attends non plus à des miracles.

MOD EDIT: English Translation Below

Yes, it is indeed a very good phone. Top value for money! I switched to the European ROM (so from MIUI 12 to MIUI 13) but as I expected, it didn't fix the problem. I'm going to try the pixelOS ROM but I don't expect miracles either.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] bill93:
Je confirme ce que je disais dans mon précédent post, je suis passé sur une ROM Xiaomi.eu (et non pas pixelOS car je n'arrive pas à l'installer) et je retrouve, comme prévu, le même problème avec le capteur de proximité ! 😡

C'est bien un problème hardware et non software.

MOD EDIT: English Translation Below

I confirm what I said in my previous post, I switched to a Xiaomi.eu ROM (and not pixelOS because I can't install it) and I find, as expected, the same problem with the sensor of proximity ! 😡

This is a hardware problem, not a software one.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zgfg:
MIUI 12.5.8 EEA, proximity works fine for me both in the mobile and WhatsApp calls

No screen protector
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Nordicus:
You should have looked beyond the survey. Then you would have seen a method of correcting the problem.

It is to calibrate the proximity sensor.

Translate:
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] martin.kozhukliev:
Tried this "calibration" actually. Doesn't help in my case. I'm really, really pissed off by that!
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zgfg:
Originally I didn't have a problem but I started to have serious troubles upon putting the screen protector (on almost every call my ear activated Mute or even worse Airplane mode, sometimes the backlight, etc)

Now, after the Calibration it is somewhat better - in 20+ or so calls it happened again once or twice

I now made more steps to prevent

- switched to the new Control center that pulls-off from right (to make it harder for my ear to pull down the Control center)

- reorganized the icons in Control center

And most important, now I take care to keep the top border of the phone pressed to my ear, but the rest of the phone apart from my ear/face to prevent touching

I also monitored during the last days the screen while on the call and it didn't activate

Definitely, this (ultrasonic) virtual sensor is not a good solution, but at least (with additional care) I can now use my phone for the calls again 😁
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] h8Aramex:
I had issues on with my other Xiaomi phones with virtual proximity sensors, but it works on this phone flawless for me. Don't think a regular sensor is always better. On OnePlus, the 9R and 9RT phones have a notoriously awful proximity sensor. It's just companies spending 0 on quality control basically and rushing out phones.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] martin.kozhukliev:
Never, ever, in many years I've been using smartphones, have I had such an awful experience with the proximity sensor! I really want to throw this phone away because of that. Such a shame, Xiaomi!

Tried all the solutions. none of them work in my case. Proximity sensor work is so erratic that it messes up basic things (like conversation over the phone!!!). Very annoying!
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
All probs started when Xiaomi began using a virtual Proxy despite old Proxy sensor method... :( and they didn't solve it at all.

It’s a measure of how much they actually care about their customers :(
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Nordicus:
Guys, try a new method using a special program. :cool:
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
Is there any English installed apk translation?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
@Nordicus

Maybe short YT video tutorial about Proxy sensor calibration by uploaded apk ?

Tnx
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zgfg:
MiProxiFix_3.0 is safe?

See the screenshot
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Nordicus:
No problem. See attach.

Yes. :cool:
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
On Mi 11 Lite 5G NE this apk don't change Proxy sensor value at all. It always show 5 value and without a changing whatever you do.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Ratty55:
So does it actually work?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
Don't work :(

Only one cure is valid for Xiaomi bad proxy - Fliped Bumper/Case and that's all :(
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] alengrosevic:
so this problem is not fixed? I had this problem with Redmi Note 10 PRO and I got rid of that phone. This bug is still present on this device?
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Avinashsaini:
You can calibrate proximity sensor by going into settings>about>kernal version tap 5 times you get in QIT settings or factory settings.infrared proximity sensor phones have calibration option but I don't confirm about ultrasonic one you can try.
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
Can't calibrate that way :(
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] Avinashsaini:
BAD LUCK.Have you done any screen replacement done in past.or opened it
[Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE] zorzgeo:
No.

It's a brand new phone but if You scratch under the surface You will see that Xiaomi have an big proximity problem since they replaced real proximity sensor with ultrasonic one... And the one cure is to put a phone to a flip bumper :(

[G4] Mortifix:
I recently flashed my Wizard with TNT WM6 and I am getting all kinds of problems so I am wanting to bring it back to Wizard Love so I can attempt TNT's again and avoid a "bad flash".

My question is, do I need to put the phone in the bootloader (i.e. the 3 colored bars?) or can I flash it with the phone loaded and everything. I am using RUU to flash.

Or do I need to use ShellTool?
[G4] zabardast_1:
If its a G3,then simply hook up the phone with pc and run the RUU,it'll reflash,there's no need to get into Bootloaders (RGB Screen).

But if its a G4,then how did you upgrade first,if through HardSPL,then again just hook up and run the RUU,well,if you used Shelltool,then there's no need to go through again with Shelltool.Get the phone HardSPL once,then you can flash any rom as much as you like :)
[G4] Mortifix:
I used shelltool for the first flash, but it kind messed up so I had to redo Wizard Love with the RGB boot loader.

If I remember correctly by "messed up" I think it froze during flashing.

Yes I do have a G4 :)
[G4] scousemartin:
well do as zabardast_1's has said and flash HardSPL to your g4 wizard and then you can just flash another cooked rom
[G4] starkwong:
and added....Don't use ShellTool again even you are using a G4! RUU can be used on G4 directly given that you have installed HardSPL and you are going to flash a custom ROM posted here.
[G4] Mortifix:
So even though ShellTool kinda messed up, my device is still HardSPL'ed?
[G4] erules:
To be safe you can flash using Softspl , that is the way i flashed few times althouhg my wizard was hardspl and it was ok. If you have hardspl try using Mun's RUU . Both methods worked fine for me.
[G4] Mortifix:
Ok, I just re-flashed my G4 with Wizard Love using the RUU that it came with and everything seemed to work fine. Does this mean that my HardSPL was successful? See what I think had happened was I flashed TNT's rom with ShellTool and not RUU after I had HardSPL'ed my device. Could that have had something to do with it?

Thanks for all the help so far, you guys have been very knowledgeable.
[G4] erules:
Read this maybe its helpfull for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=435852
[G4] zabardast_1:
Ah! You are mixing up all three methods Shelltool,RUU,HardSPL together,they all are different methods to flash a rom.Shelltool is a different method then RUU(RomUpdateUtility) and HardSPL(Patched IPL/SPL) is altogether a different process to flash and upgrade a G4 device.

Try to read all about these methods for better understanding.

Here, I wud not like to go into details,you can read about these methods in their respective threads.

Flashing wizard_love rom doesn't mean your phone is HardSPL'd ? No,wizard_love rom is a patched rom,it'll flash to any G4 device with original official IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) running on it,but if the phone is HardSPL'd,it flashes patched IPL/SPL,thus tricking it to think its semi-permanent CID unlocked,after this its possible to flash any wm6.1 custom rom.But flashing a wizard_love,it still has its own official IPL/SPL,but you cannot upgrade to any wm6 rom as its not CID unlocked.As a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked like a G3 phone,so KardSPL is applied to make it trick into semi-permanent CID unlock,whereas,its in fact CID locked,but here its possible to upgrade to any wm6 rom,hope you got my point !!!

So,if you want to upgrade to wm6 or flash TNT wm6.1 rom,you have to first apply HardSPL,it'll change the IPL/SPL of the phone,only then you can flash TNT wm6.1 rom :p
[G4] Mortifix:
Ok yeah thanks for clearing that up for me :) I was trying to update my phone with the RUU that came with TNT .20273, but it kept giving me an Error 300 which I am assuming that means its not HardSPL'ed. So from the sounds of it, I would probably like to get my phone HardSPL to I can flash any new roms that come out. I was under the assumption that ShellTool was HardSPL'ing my phone, but I guess not. Before I proceed to the next step, is this the instructions I should be following?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=332320

EDIT:

Ok, I went ahead and HardSPL'ed my device. I followed the instructions on that thread and everything seems to be working. I get SoftSPL: something something olipro so I am guessing thats good. I am still having problems when I go to flash TNT. I am trying to use the RUU that is included with TNT, but I keep getting Error 300 (Invalid Update Tool).
[G4] zabardast_1:
ok,download 'Mun's RUU' from the HardSPL thread you just posted above and replace the RUU in this zipfile with RUU in the TNT rom and run this replaced RUU,it'll work and flash the rom :)
[G4] Mortifix:
I have everything all set and I am rocking TNT .191213. Thanks for all the help guys!!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
But does the rock hard polycarbonate back make contact with the back of the phone? If so it's only a matter of time before the back of your very expensive phone phone becomes scuffed from the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blueisharpersdog:
There are lips on the back, it is actually isolate the back from toughing the flat surface!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Thanks for confirming. Too bad the manufacturer didn't take the time to respond to my inquiry.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blueisharpersdog:
They responsed to me in 2 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vpr5703:
Yeah I agree here. I've got an R series in red and a black back, and I love it. I've got a V series I need to test out as well, but I like to give the cases a good week before I swap. And the "R" is a quality case.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Okay I'm convinced now. Just placed an order for the R series in blue anodized.

I just unconvinced myself. The misaligned orange stick-on bumpers werent doing it for me.

They just seem like an afterthought that corrects a design flaw.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Drunkula:
Went ahead and ordered a blue one
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] craznazn:
Well, I was gonna wait a few days of using this case before I wrote my review, but since there already are reviews up, here I go. Disclaimer: I was given a free case for my honest opinion. The following is my opinion without any input from the manufacturer.

When shopping for cases, I didn't want a blacked out case obscuring the great colors of the S22 Ultra, but I didn't want a generic looking clear TPU shell. In comes the CaseBorne R Series case with an aluminum frame. I chose the Iridescent version since it was potentially the most interesting. Normal prime shipping got it here to me 1 day after my S22U arrived, no complaints there.

First impression:

The case arrived in a standard box that you would normally see in cases. It rests inside a plastic shell and seems well protected for transport. There was a clear film on both sides of the case that you should remove prior to installing.

Closer look:

The clear back is a dot-matrix style. It is pretty much impossible to see this unless you hold it up to the light, but it is there in case that bothers you.

Installed:

My phone has a UV based TGSP installed, and the case does not interfere with the TGSP on the edges or corners. Once installed, the iridescent frame looks very cool. In this particular shot, the light reflected off my ceiling lights and work LED lamp made it a shade of green that matches very well with the S22. It should be noted that the top and bottom rails are more of a purple color that reminds me of heated titanium.

Here we see that the case does indeed lift the phone off of the table, preventing the camera and screen from touching potentially damaging surfaces.

Conclusion:

This case does a good job at protecting the phone on all sides while letting the actual phone shine through. Unfortunately, I didn't want to conduct a drop test, since I don't have the disposable funds to test it that way. I am very rough with my phone though, and many phones have gone out of my pocket like a frisbee in the past. Once I have more drop (frisbee) data to share, I will update this review. For the time being, this seems to be a very solid case.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jinshanghaiaraol:
Mind to share your review on Amazon?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FarmRoad423:
Super durable and not as bulky as otter box. I love the style and feel. I even convinced my husband to the red and black carbon one. His is even better since the carbon feels soft. I’ve dropped my phone a couple times already and no damage occurred
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jinshanghaiaraol:
Did you try to put on a tempered glass screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Assimilator702:
These are some nice cases. Reminds me of some of my favorites for the Note 4 namely the Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jinshanghaiaraol:
It is totally different than spigen. It is much more protective. It also has the alumnum frame.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] chicagocubvpn:
I’m very surprised that this case isn’t getting as many reviews as it has, because this is an amazing case. The edges are raised much more than other cases of its class/price point, and offers protection front and back. The corners are also slightly thicker to protect against those deadly corner drops, and the case hasn’t had an issue staying on my case. The back isn’t too slippery as other clear cases might be, and is just overall slick looking and think.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kiwiguy99:
Review of 5 cases including Caseborne R and V:

My 3 main criteria when selecting a case are:

1. A reasonable amount of protection if dropped.

2. A good comfortable non-slip grip so I avoid dropping it in the first place - especially if my fingers are either cold or sweaty. This also includes being comfortable to hold to your ear when on a call.

3. Designed so it lays flat when placed on on a desk - ie no wobble when touching the screen.

My go-to case for the past 12 years has always been the UAG Monarch, but I am really disappointed with the one produced for the S22 Ultra. Although I really like the look of it - especially the individual camera cutouts and it still offers 'top of class' protection, they have for some strange reason completely eliminated the great contoured sides and replaced with a slight 'tire-track' pattern that you can barely feel and which is not at all grippy.

The following photo shows the previous design with the new one below:

View attachment 5551907

So I decided to test out the following 4 cases (I bought all of them so this review not influenced by a free case)

1. Spigen Cryo Armor

2. CaseBorne V

3. CaseBorne R Aramid Fiber

4. Poetic Neon Series

1. Spigen Cryo: although dubious about it claim to keep the phone cool, it did look cool. However it offered almost no side protection (the screen was higher than the side of the case). It also although quiet grippy was not that comfortable to hold for a long time especially when making calls - so eliminated.

2. Caseborne V: it offers fantastic protection and a comfortable grip, however I felt that is added too much bulk to an already large phone - so eliminated.

3. Poetic Neon: it looks really nice and has great protection, but it consists of an inner soft rubber liner and a hard plastic outer shell and I did not like the grip on the shell part. You can see in the photo that I actually removed part of the shell to give a better grip and this is now the case that I may use when i plan to hold the phone for a long time (eg reading an ebook) as it is really comfortable and secure to hold.

4. CaseBorne R: This was by far for me the best case. Although the side are smooth, they are remarkable grippy and the case offers great protection - both at the top and on the sides. It is also confortable when making a call as the back is also quite grippy. My only 2 gripes is that for the price point, I wish it had the individual camera cutouts like the UAG case and it is a fingerprint magnet as you can see in the photo. [it also comes with a thin plastic film on the inside that I intend to leave there to stop the case from scatching the back of the phone].

The following shows the Poetic (modified), the Caseborne R and the UAT Monarch (I already returned the other 2). All 3 lie flat on a desk. The 3 cases are lined up along the bottom to show relative height :

View attachment 5551909

Left to right: Poetic, Monarch and Caseborne

You can see I tried to carve our the pattern on the UAG case to make it more grippy, but with minimal improvement!
