Screen sensor

Any way to deactivate this so the screen doesn't keep turning on/off every time I put the phone to my head? Thanks in advance.
I'm rooted and running Virtuous Sense if that makes a difference.

Just wondering....why? You would be hanging up on people a lot. Hell in google voicemail I put the phone up to my ear and it pauses it all the time.
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

I just get a lot of calls. Looking at the phone when I get call waiting, or having to conference a call, or mute a call....always have to wait for the screen to turn on. It may only seem like a half-second to you, but when you use your phone non stop during the course of your business day it adds up to one big annoyance.

Makes sense, but what about the risk of your ear hanging up on people?
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

I'm not 15 feet tall. I think that would have to be one big ear. The speaker is at the top of the phone, and the END button is at the bottom of the screen. I'm not too worried about my ear coming near it.
I'd rather just tap the power button to turn off the screen when I know I'm going to be talking for a while and no longer need the screen on to manipulate the call(s).

Won't pressing the power button hang up on the person?

I hope not.
BTW, does anyone know if I can deactivate the screen sensor?
I may actually switch from Sense back to CM7 because of this issue. With CM7 the sensor reacts much faster than with Sense. However I really am enjoying this Sense ROM so I'd rather not have to switch back.

I'm pretty sure if you look in cm settings there's a place thatyou can set the screen to stay on on calls.. I know its there just not entirely sure where as I've been running miui for about a month now.. and its not necesarrily your ear.. if yourr cheek were to touch the screen that could cause it to hang up also
*I'm just sayin...

I believe you're correct about that feature in CM7. However, that feature, along with a couple apps I found in market, will keep the screen on and prevent it from timing out.....possibly even dimming the screen. However, the proximity sensor still kicks in and completely turns off the screen every time you put the phone to your ear. It's almost as if the proximity sensor has immunity from the feature list. Kind of surprised this hasn't been pursued before in here.

[Q] Any way to turn off the shutter sound in 4.0.4?

So, is there any way to turn off the shutter sound in 4.0.4?
I know that switching to silence mode does the trick, but is there any way more permanent?

Use any root file explorer
/system/media/audio/ui/
In there you have:
camera_click.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
Rename which ever sounds you want to whateveritscalled.ogg.bak and it won't play anymore. Then if you want to re-enable, just take off the .bak

In the app Sound Manager you can turn System Volume down to zero. This will also probably silence keyboard sounds, system clicking noises, etc. You can also use the schedule button in that app to force it to silence the system volume on every boot. This does seem to keep the camera noise from sounding.

Most likely the easiest way is to download the toolkit that stickied and go to phone mods and hit mute cammer shutter. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871

How is a desktop app that requires you to plug in the phone an easier way than something you can do on-device?

It's a shame there's not an easier way to do this. It's not even that I hate the camera sound, it's just that it's so damn loud, even with my volume lowered. Anyway, thanks for asking the question, I was wondering the same!

In that case the Sound Manager solution may be ideal. Turn the system volume down to an acceptable level without impacting media volume.

Launch camera app, press volume button down till it's on the lowest. Camera shutter sound is off. When finished turn volume up, what's so hard about this?

Annoying Noise Pop

I have just recently purchased the galaxy note II and I'm starting to hear an annoying noise pop every 5 seconds if I have sound on. It usually happens when you press an application, type, go back, and press the menu button. Is this happening to other people or is it just me? You usually hear it in a silence place.

Go to settings and under sound option disable keypad tones and touch tones. This will help you I think.

It happens when i listen to audio or during a phone call too.
I returned the phone to the warranty provider they told me the next android update will fix this issue?

Usually, as in 'not always'? that's weird, can't be the touch sounds feedback then. Better return it, I've been lurking the forum lot lately and haven't read anything like it, I don't think a sw update will just fix it.

[Q] camera - ticking/ static sound?

Hi there.
I bought an htc one m8 today and absolutely love it but I am trying to find out if my phone is defective.
When I go into the camera app and click that square with 4 circles at the bottom (the button that you have to press that takes you to the options page which asks if you want to take a Selfie, Camera, dual capture, video, pan360 and zoe camera), it will make a static/ticking sound. It will again make this same ticking sound when I click the back button to get out of that camera menu. I'm trying to figure out if that's just a sound effect or if it is not supposed to make that sound? Sounds kind of strange to be a sound effect lol. Can you guys check your htc one m8s and tell me if your phone also makes a tick/static type of sound when you click it and then click the back button? Thanks:fingers-crossed:
I attached a photo of the square with the 4 circles just in case.
Much appreciated:laugh:

Hi I just realized that my touch sounds option was never checked so it was never on but I am still getting a crackling sound? Just checked my friend's phone and his does not do this so I will definitely swap this one out for a different htc one m8 tomorrow.
Thanks though

If you don't find camera option you can try handset option button or can decrease your phone sound.

I tried an M8 today and found that it has ticking sound on booting and when playing music,looked like a hardware issue (voltage or something) so I returned before paying a $
The seller tried a factory reset but the issue was still here.
Weird to see these kind of issue on a 770$ flagship phone nowadays.

Listen, my device does not make any static sound. Turn your sound/music volume all the way down & see if it still does it. There is a known defect that starts with static sounds & clicking that can end with a broken camera lens. If you don't hear it with the sound turned completely off, then it is just the sound effects of low volume. If YOU DO HEAR IT with the volume completely off, then you are possibly in possession of one of the faulty devices that have an issue that can cause a cracked camera lens.

Not so weird. You find issues on $5,000 to $20,000 4K LED panels too. Anything that is mass manufactured is going to have some problem devices that either slip through QA/QC, or fail shortly after passing thru QC. You'll also find defects occasionally on $300,000 vehicles, $10,000,000 planes & $100,000,000 structures. It happens.

Any way to disable the proximity sensor?

I'm having issues with the screen not turning back on after a call or even listening to audio messages. I have to relock and then unlock to get it to work, very annoying.
I'm on 8.1, on magisk with xposed.
Could someone recommend me an app or a module?

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/71510515
You along with a bunch of us... ota messed it up

Good to know, I'm not the only one. Doesn't seem related to screen protector.
Really wish I can disable the proximity sensor for now.

I guess I came to the wrong thread. I don't have any issues like that or at least I don't notice it because I is the power button to turn the screen in/off all the time and I set my lock screen to not relock the phone for 5 minutes or something like that. That way I don't gotta enter my unlock code. There also is a setting which is supposed to keep your phone unlocked as long as you don't set it down. There also is a setting that keeps your phone from locking if you are within range of a Bluetooth (headseat maybe) device. I dunno try some of those options maybe you won't need to type your code in as much.
Personally I came here because I am looking for a way to completely disable my proximity sensor. I absolutely hate them on all phones. How stupid is it that they put the proximity sensor I right up next to where you have to put your hand if you want to pull down the menu bar??? It's like I go to pull down the menu bar - screen off. ****! Power button, slide open the lock screen (no code needed). Pull menu bar - screen off ****! Power.... Slide....menu bar - screen off. Of course it only does that during calls however that's a pretty annoying time because you're usually focused on other things and not wanting to **** with the screen going on and off.
Who the needs a proximity sensor to detect one's face anyway? I just click the power button every time I put the phone to my ear. Any time I don't do that, I run the risk of my cheek pressing the mute button for the 9000th time in my life. I do love Android though.

So it works too well for you with your finger but not enough for your face to prevent muting? LOL. Sorry never had that problem. I just avoid the middle if I had to get to the notifications during a call.

It happens often when I'm trying to toggle BT because my BT icon is directly under it.... For example. Anyway, I don't find it useful to even have an proximity sensor. That's why I stumbled in here, my search query was the exact title. I'm not really experiencing the problem the others were talking about though....

Who needs a proximity sensor? Really? You basically answered your own question. To turn off the screen when you put it to your face so that your face doesn't press anything on the screen. Having to press the power button every time you put the phone to your face and then press it again every time you take it away from your face would suck.

I always use speaker or bluetooth and proximity sometimes turns the phone off spuriously so I disable it.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs

Yeah.....no basically pressing the power button is where it's at. It the again I'm not one who likes everything done for me. Absolutely NO PHONE I've ever owned has had a proximity sensor that was worth a ****. They all, at one time or another, allow the screen to wake up subsequently letting the microphone mute button to enable. The mute button is another piece of Android trash that needs redesigning. It is not often that mute is needed so why not out that in a drop-down menu or something since it inevitably gets pressed during calls due to a ****y proximity sensor and Screen wake setup.
I also drive a manual transmission car. Actually the last 5 cars I've owned have been manual shifted. When YOU are in 100% control of your devices, there are certain niceities which are otherwise unavailable. But that's only if you're the type who doesn't gotta have everything done for them.
As far as you go buddy, if you like the proximity sensor that's fine. Personally I don't ****ing care what you like. thanks for a wasted Fred post which contacted my email to have me come back here to tell you what a waste of time that was thanks.

So I assume you have earbuds, or if not, you can get some really cheap earbuds from the gas station, and when needed, you can plug it in, and it will register that it has earbuds in and will light up again, disabling the proximity sensor. You can leave it in as well, until you need it to talk, unless it will work while calling. This should work, I haven't personally tried it.

Hi,
Hope you managed to solve the issue.
If you haven't then
1. Install sensor disable from xposed repo. It's an old app so there are a few bugs when you try to remove the sensor as such.
2. Buy the Pro version or use lucky patcher to disable in app purchases for Sensor Disabler.
3. Go to the settings of Sensor Disabler and blacklist the apps that you don't want the proximity to work on.(I had problems with my WhatsApp. But it works perfectly now.)
