Added some basic testing how-to. Let me know "ok" or "not ok". I will have to return my phone today if this is not a generic issue
250 views - no responses from the nexus owners?
anyhow, just realised LIGHT sensor works in daylight (at least from 10 to 160 lux). However, still no cookie on the proximity sensor - can anyone confirm or deny please?
My prox sensor works just fine. Not really had chance to check the light sensor as Ive only just bought the phone and had it set to full brightness. Ill post back shortly..
mine seems to be functioning fine here.

Right then i can confirm the light sensor works in mine too in daylight
Proximity sensor not though... anyone else?! this is really strange
Both work on mine.

Mine is OK as well.
Mine seems fine for both
Both work perfectly on mine! For the proximity sensor, try it during a call! It might be trivial but just saying.

AndroSensor says both work but auto brightness (auto dullness?) is useless and I triggered a keypad press while on a call...

see - thats exactly the point. The sensor does NOT work (on mine)
Proximity Sensor - will switch display off to avoid the keypress or other issues while on call when you are holding it to your face(ear). And re-enable display when moved away from the face
Autobrigh: measures ambient light and then adjusts brightness accordingly
you may have both confused?
check with AndroSensor:
proximity sensor - cover it with your hand (next to the front camera) and the values should change in AndroSensor - but they dont. neither does the display switch off during calls when detecting your face (actually just detecting "no light")
I will return my GN. I had enough.
The light sensor works according to AndroSensor but auto brightness simply dims the screen to a useless level. Likewise proximity sensor works (values are either 0 or 2 inches) but whilst the screen does indeed dim during calls key presses are still possible infuriatingly. Software fix would cure both.

Light sensor works fine.
Proximity sensor does not work. I think it stopped working after the volume fix OTA.
For my device, the proximity value changes fine however the screen doesn't turn on off when answering and ending a call. hv to lock the screen and unlock the screen manually to prevent mistouch..
Just tested and the screen turns off just fine for me on a call.

I know this topic is kind of old, but I'm still having the proximity issue, do you think I should return my nexus?
Mine doesn't work either, since 4.02 I think. Are there any settings that should be enabled for it to work like gprs or location services or is the proximity service always running?

I recently went from Miui to 4.4.1 Alpha 2 currently on stock when I turn my phone to go into landscape it just stays in landscape until I restart my phone... I go into my gallery in portrait mode and my gallery just isn't straight its slightly turned to the right (keep in mind gingerbread gallery uses the gyroscope sensor). I went into recovery mode to see if I can reset my rotation setting but I guess that option doesn't exist anymore someone please help... how do I reset my gyroscope to rotate properly??????

Hi. New Nexus owner.
I have a problem with proximity sensor not working for all apps. Basically, it works only during regular calls. Skype, and any other app and it doesn't. Very annoying. How can I turn proximity sensor ON all the time for other apps like Viber and Skype. I don't want to see a million apps opened and messages sent because I have an extremely beautiful sharp cheekbones.
it's the apps fault? sensors are available to the system, not just the default dialer.

The proximity sensor is available for any app to use. Its the app choosing not to allow rotation.
I have verified that the application (Skype) is the culprit. It is buggy and chooses to use the proximity sensor as it pleases.

Does anyone know with which application to do calibration proximity sensor on E988?
I tried these hidden codes
3845#*988#
5457#*988#
3845#*980#
5457#*980#
3845#*240#
5457#*240#
and none of them fit for e988.
The problem is that when i place the phone on my ear screen turns off,and i move phone away display not on. I tried all possible ROMs and hard reset and no help...
You can go to your build.prop and change your proximity delay that way. Or I know vanir and some others have the option to change that.

I tried that,nothing. I think it is hardware problem. When i press pleace on display in the top right corner sensor starts woking. It works for a while,5-6 minuts and then again the same problem occure.
Is it possible to solve this problem without replacing the whole display?

I am on latest firmware with latest bootloader COG5.
When i turned on the screen rotation feature the screen either doesn't rotate or it rotates to the opposite direction and doesn't return to the normal direction even i catch the device in portrait mode.
How to correct this?
Update :
I thought that the gyroscope sensor is responsible for this issue.
But it's accelerometer sensor when i make some tests on the sensor and tapped on upper part of the screen then the phone vibrated and the screen rotation fixed without need to restart the phone.
Make 2 or 3 tests on the sensor that in image test and on the graph button.
To enter the sensor menu tests dial *#0*#

I have just formatted the device and flash the latest firmware using ODIN but the problem still exists.
How to solve this problem?....it bother me when i am using camera and browse photos.

I think this is a bug with c0g5.. Sometimes screen rotation locks up on stock c0g5.. I have tried toggling auto rotate but it doesn't work. ..
When I say locks up I am referring to one orientation or another.. The auto rotate fixates on a landscape view and won't toggle to the other view.. This happens infrequently. .. A reboot clears it up...

I tried to reboot and wipe cache and delvic cache and even factory default with no fix.
When i dial *#0*# and enter sensors and get in gyroscope sensor and perform gyro selftest it passes the test.
So does it mean that it's not hadware related issue?
