how to calibrate the proximity sensor? - Defy General

My new defy 's proximity sensor seems cannot work correctly,when i making a call ,the screen shut off immediately,and the screen could not light on by any key,but when i touch the proximity sensor with my finger,the screen may be light on!
so i download a app to test the proximity sensor which name's"Android sensor data",this app fingue out the state of proximity sensor,"near" or "far",sometimes I just passing my finger over the proximity sensor, the reading will show 'near' and then remain 'near' even when my finger is moved away!
Can anyone else help me to calibrate the proximity sensor?google told me some android phone can do this ,such as htc, zte etc.
goole tell me android phone have some standard testcode,such as *#*#4636#*#* can show the phone statue,it works correstly in Defy,*#*#0588#*#* test the proximity sensor ,but it doesn't work in defy!!!

is in-pocket detection enabled?
it gave me lots of problems in the past

energy rom's bug?screen light off when calling

I flash energy's rom,it's good.but screen light off when calling makes me crazy.However I press the power button,the screen does not light on.every way i can do (regedit,change light sensor) does not work.
so please ,anybody knows?
You're saying that no matter what you do, the screen will not light up at all during a phone call once the proximity sensor turns turns the screen off?
yeah,you are right,but some rom can light up during a phone call,others can not.I'm crying for this
I've used Energy ROMS, and they were bullet proof, ran perfect, did everything they were supposed to do, like turn the screen off when I help the phone to my ear or had an object within proximity of the sensor, and the screen relit whenever I pulled the phone from my ear or moved an object away from the sensor...if you're saying the screen stays dark and you cant turn it on even with nothing blocking the sensor, then I recommend posting that issue in the Energy ROM thread as there could be a solution...if you're saying the proximity sensor works normally and you'd prefer to deactivate it, I searched around for that for you and didn't find a resolution...you can, however, if the sensor works properly...cover it up all the time (perhaps a small piece of black tape or something)...you'll have to hit the power button one time each time the phone takes or makes a call but the screen will stay lit til you turn it off again, even during a call
thank you Gt247. thank you so much.I think I found the way to resolve my screen's problem
I read a bunch where people were looking for a way to disable the proximity sensor...perhaps if that's what you've done, you could post the solution here in the event those peple are still looking
I have tried some apps to disabled my proximity sensor,but those all do not work,I think it's my phone's hardware problem,I have already decided to open my phone to fix it.
so before I fix this fool sensor ,any knows which app can test the proximity sensor?
just a app to test whether my proximity sensor work normally, any clue?

You don't need any app to test the proximity sensor , just turn on your screen , and cover the sensor with your finger . If your proximity sensor works normally , screen will be off . When you remove your finger in seconds , the screen will be turned on again .
I think you can disable the proximity sensor simply by removing the shortcut in the "startup" folder , and restart .
If I misunderstood your words , ignore me pls ~
thanks pcgg.I have tested my proximity sensor,it seems not notice my finger,the screen always on.
I have not found the proximity sensor shortcut in my startup folder,here is the file list in my startup folder:
DeviceLockXT.lnk
LockDevice.lnk
SpbMobileShell.lnk
so could you tell me which lnk is the proximity sensor?I can't find the file about what you say by the name
It seems that there is not priximity sensor app in your phone ....
While there is an app called "Rhodium setting tool" in mine , and it has a option under the menu "phone" named "Light Sensor" . If I turn it on , screen will auto turn off during a call .
Maybe you can try that ?
Well , I must say that I did misunderstood your words ... I thought you were complaining an app called "Proximity Sensor" . I found it in the "Jackos" ROM ... Sorry for misleading you .
You can try that app "Rhodium setting tool" . If it can not work , I will have no idea about it .
thanks pcgg.
I have already try the light sensor,I have tried many apps those can control the light sensor,but those don't work at all,at last I get a conclusion that is proximity sensor has a higher priority than the light sensor,proximity sensor can decide whether the screen can turn itself on or off.
my rom now is seeM_ZA's simplicity rom 21916,I'm now ready to flash jackos'r rom.whether it works ,I will tell you the result later
Any of the two, i suspect the first:
- you probably have some dirt inside your phone, at top left corner where the digitizer has a semi transparent glass for the proximity sensor (you hardly see it without disassembling screen)
- the proximity sensor is KO, you have to replace flex to cure it (about 35$ on eBay)
Once i replaced the digitizer on a TP2 and a little drop of glue went near the window of proximity sensor, it didn't work at all till i disassembled all again, cleared the the glue around the window letting again enough light to enter the sensor.

[Q] Nokia x proximity sensor functionality issues?

I'm using nokia x and found a setting (Turn on Proximity sensor) in it that states it will dim the display when attending a call .
It works as like a light sensor and it seems proximity sensor is not present.
CPU z app shows a record for the proximity sensor but doesn't show any reading all the time.? Is this issue only on my device ?

Proximity Sensor Broken - Nokia XL

Hello!
I've started to have a problem with proximity sensor. While calling, the screen get black and there is no way to turn it on (it turn if the other persone close the call only).
I tried to install a proximity sensor controller utility and it says it's always 0cm distance. By touching it I found it unlocks sometimes under pression or temporarily if I blow in it (but after a little it locks again).
I searched in settings an options to deactivate it but I really can't find it..
Can you tell me where I can find the option to turn off the proximity sensor, please?
And is there any way to fix this problem eventually? However I'd be happy if I can just deactivate the sensor..
Thanks

Disable Proximity Sensor

Hey, after my display repair, the proximity sensor is not working correctly.
Therefore the calls app is always showing a black screen and I cannot end a call.
Is there any way to disable the proximity sensor? Or can I swap the calls app?
Thanks for your time
