GwynBleidD 12 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 My proximity sensor has a strange delay in dialer app when I'm moving phone away from my face. It takes 2-5 seconds to turn display back on after I move the phone away from my ear and I can't end the call during that time, which is very frustrating. Detecting when I put it back near my ear works almost instantly and is not an issue. Testing the proximity sensor in factorykit doesn't have that issue, status of the sensor changes instantly both ways. It looks like some artificial delay in dialer app or a bug in dialer app itself. Anyone has this problem? I've also found that using some apps that are trying to do some actions given the proximity sensor status (like pocket detection in button mapper app) makes proximity sensor not working or very unstable in dialer app. Disabling proximity detection in those apps or removing them alltogether solves the issue so if you have any problems with your proximity sensor, try disabling those apps to find out if this solves your issues. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jjarmasz 81 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Yup, I've had this since day one. Not the most annoying of the quirks on this phone, but still kinda annoying. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ka9yhd 2 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have an issue of the display constantly turning on and off during a call with the phone on the side of my face. It is opening apps and once I have had a constant DTMF tone come blaring through. It has even turned on the speaker phone and muted the call. I have had some people suggest this is related to the proximity sensor moving around or possible screws missing for holding the screen on the phone. I have purchased a Bluetooth headset to get around this issue. I am still using Android 8. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I normally either use it with a headset or hands-free on a desk though, so rarely I use it as a classic phone next to the ear. I have installed an app to automatically detect to switch to hands-free, and actually thought it was the app that was buggy, but could be something with the sensor-driver...

I type in a phone number and they do not display. Give it a second or two then they appear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pebert 98 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I have the same issue, which is really frustration. When on a call to customer service or something, and they tell you to press "1" for this or "2" for that I often fail because of the time it takes for the display to get activated. same behaviour in stock, Lineage 16 ans AICP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pebert 98 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 have a similar behaviour on my Moto Z3, so anyway pretty used to it... 🤔 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
