[Q] Proximity Sensor: Not Yet Fixed...? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So many threads about proximity sensor problems, but none of them with the right answer...
I have this problem with my Sensor were everytime I reboot my phone or do a Factory reset using recovery,
EVERYTHING starts to work normal. It last for about 5 minutes when the screen no longer turns off when I get a call and get it close to my ears.
I dont know what it is i've tried different Roms and going back to ICS but the problem keeps showing after some time. There must be some Gnex users with the same problem and yet there isnt a solution... perhaps is a hardware problem? maybe not because each time yo reboot or factory reset... the problem goes away. Any help will be appreciated.

when turning mda3 on backlight is working but the screen not

just get a mda3 with a problem
sometimes when i switching the phone on (power button) the backlight is working but the screen remains black so i can't se anything. the phone is working, i can browse the folders, i hear all the sounds but the screen remains black! after a while hes working again.
does anybody had the same problem? and how can i solve the problem?((((
have u tried a hard reset? ive never had this problem so i dont know, tho i guess if u sync with pc and save all all your wanted files and do a hard reset, it may sort it.
i've already tried hard reset, rom updating etc...
the problem is still there...((
i've switch "turn off the phone after 3 minutes" off, maybe it would help...
because problem was appearing most of the time if device was lying for 10-20 minutes without working...
update: nope, it's still black(
Think you have a bad device. A problem that is know is that the backlight will turn itself of (but you can still see the screen). This is some times the case with mine and I have the 1.40 rom, however I have had this problem with other roms so it must be some software that I use.
i'm also thinking so...
now i noticed that if you turn the device on and get a black screen, if you wait a minute he will switch the screen on. but why?

Phone freezing... need advice...

Hello, I tried searching but to no avail.
I have an intermittent problem that is getting the best of me with my TP2. The phone application seems to freeze randomly. It seems to usually occur at the end of a call when I go to hang up. I click end, the call ends and the phone just freezes. The call is disconnected, but the end screen is just displayed and my only recourse is to soft-reset.
There is really not a lot of third part stuff on it, in fact, I did a hard reset not 5 days ago.
Can anyone offer any help on the matter...
As always, many many thanks...
Same problem
I also have the same problem. I recently upgraded to WM6.5, but the problem still exist.
Somtimes the light on the bottom remain on as the phone freezes
I'm also having this problem, infact it keeps freezing on the home screen for me..
If I was not so green, I'd consider trying to get more stable by flashing a different ROM but I have no clue how to even begin to find one, select one, and do the operation.
You might try doing a hard reset. That's cured similar problems for me. I wouldn't suggest doing a backup, because you might backup and restore whatever is causing the problem.
Did a hard reset and no backup loaded only 4 days ago.
Any better solution for this problem??

[Q] Phone module off, touchscreen freezing, help!

Hy,
I have a big problem out of nowhere. The phone worked ok for more than y6 mths, while i haven't change the ROM. I found it blocked, not answering to any command, touchscreen or button. Soft reset it (red back-button) and it started but phone module was off, airplane mode on. I tried several times to switch them (phone, on, or airplane off) but unsuccessfull. Morover the touch screen is not getting any command but still the buttons work (phome, home, volume, midbutton). I hardSPL (OlixNet) and then installed a fresh rom (energy). the phone problem persists toghether with the screen problem which is appearing even immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins, varies. I also tried to disable the Sense, but same result.
ANother thing i have observed is that the battery drains very fast and the back low part of the device is getting warm after trying to use and few restarts..
I will try to give it an HTC rom to see if something's changeing.
Any of you had such issues with it? what should i do?
Thanks guys,

I could be also a cracked touchscreen in an early stage with a small crack, which happened to me.
Good luck!
Guys,
i too have the same screen problem,i tried changing various rom's still the problem persists.After new rom installation screen calibration needs to b done a number of times to finally start the mobile with home screen.
And then problem appears immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins. Touch doesn't respond correctly to my command instead it reads some other commands and finally gets stuck while other harware keeps working perfectly.
so, anybody could short out dis problem.......it seem to b a common problem to many people who keep changing there rom's frequently

SM-N7505 Wi-Fi not turning on

Hi everyone,
I'm having serious problems with my Wi-Fi on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo (SM-N7505). Whenever I click the button to activate the Wi-Fi, the icon goes from grey to a dull green (darker than the bright green which signals that a function is turned on), as it does when it's trying to turn itself on. Problem is, instead of turning on, it just stays in that state for a few minutes before reverting to grey. This has gone on for a while, and I've already tried several possible solutions which I found after online searches. I don't think it's a hardware issue (see point 1 for the reason), and I really hope it isn't, because my warranty has been voided due to rooting, so I can't have my phone replaced or repaired unless I pay for it (which I can't at the moment). So, I'm basically ignoring the possibility of hardware failure and trying every possible software solution, hoping one of them will work, otherwise I'm just stuck with no Wi-Fi. These are the fixes I've tried:
1) Take out the battery while the phone is on, wait a few seconds, then put it back in and boot the phone up. This used to work when the problem first presented itself a few months ago (which is why I don't think it's a hardware issue), and I've been since using this method to fix it whenever it happened again. But a few days ago, this method stopped working for whatever reason, so I was back to square one.
2) I tried renaming the data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file, which seems to have worked for some people, but not for me.
3) I tried updating the version from Kitkat to the recent Lollipop, hoping that would fix it, but nope.
4) I tried deleting practically every single app one by one, hoping that one of them was interfering with the Wi-Fi somehow, but nope.
5) As a last resort, I tried a factory reset, but not even that worked.
This is basically the long and short of what I've tried to fix this... I might've skipped a few of the simpler fixes I tried (for example, I just remember I tried disabling "Smart Network Switch", which seemed to do it for some people), but the big stuff is all there.
I'd really like to get my Wi-Fi back, so if anyone could help me fix this thing I'd be really grateful!
Thanks in advance to anyone who will bother to reply.
same problem dude
Same problem...wifi and bluetooth not working...pls help us
Same Problem for me, Initally it works fine even after updating Official Lollipop update (OTA), but after few months now wifi & bluetooth are not working for me. And finally faced battery drain issue for past few days. Battery goes down upto 20% per hour even in idle condition. Then i rooted & installed Note Rom & even after i face the same problem. Is there any way to fix?

Recovered from bootloop with hard reset

Hi, I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere and yes i know the bootloop issue is a big problem but i wondered if anyone else has been semi-successful like me. First off the other day my phone rebooted and ended up in a bootloop except the screen never goes completely blank it just dims and comes back on. I did a hard reset and it starts working again for a few days. Then when i connect to wifi it will reboot all of a sudden and be fine until it reboots again and i have to hard reset for another few days. sometimes when looping it will get to the updating apps screen then when it finishes it loops again.
Is this the standard bootloop or does it seem like something different?
Sorry if this is just another repeat of an old issue it just seems to be slightly different from what i have read about the bootloop caused by the known hardware issue. Also the first 3 digits of the serial are 507 if this helps.

Maybe yours is jut preparing for proper bootloop maybe the pins on the bigger qualcomm chip still connect to the motherboard from time to time so you manage to get it booting. Though I wouldn't call it a working device so I would suggest you to start working with LG to have it fixed.

flash stock firmware and then try it for weeks if it happens then hardware is damaged..

Dont play around with it too much it might get permanently bricked ur best option now is to flash a lollipop kdz root it then apply the disable core method to working it again ofcourse the phone will be slow ...or u could just send it to lg for replacement or repair...check youtube for disable core method for g4
I have just plugged it into Lg bridge and run the update error recovery. It hasn't rebooted when connecting to wifi yet but if it does I'm just going to phone LG to sort out a repair and buy a temp phone to use while that happens. I just don't want to do anything that could affect warranty although usually, the warranty would be out the window on day 1 with me
It just seems weird that every time I have seen it reboot it was when it connected to wifi.
