This problem is driving my nuts I'm searching for a solution weeks ago and still couldn't find an answer.
my problem is when the proximity sensor is covered the phone only vibrate and no ringtone.
i discovered this by receiving calls while the phone in pocket and couldn't hear any ring.
i tried to calibrate the sensors and tried to tick and un tick the pocket mode option nothing worked.
All i figured out is i think when this sensor is covered it trigger somehow the flip to mute option ( maybe)
but any way the sensor is working probably as it turn off when in call face near and turn back on when far.
please guys any one can help me solve this misery ?

any help guys , it's really buggy problem. ?
Would you please give me help dears.
Any help or suggestion ?
And any way to disable flip to mute on this lolipop ?
The problem is that your bottom speaker is not working. When the phone is in your pocket (proximity sensor is covered) only the bottom speaker is ringing. When proximity sensor is not covered both of the speakers is ringing. You need to pop out the back cover as in the picture and make an direct contact from the speaker to the mainboard.
Try taking the phone out of its case. Worked for us .

Hi, ggaby1981
I know that you wrote this a while back, but I wanted to ask you how to actually do this. I'm not sure what you mean by making a direct contact. I've looked for tutorials, but couldn't find anything . Does it need souldering, or can anyone do it? Please, let me know. Thank you so much!
Engineer
Replacing spoiled battery solved the issue, battery size increased and pressed the cover taking away the connectors of bottom speaker, making it perminantly off.
Replacig battery allows back cover to be seated properly, and get the speaker connect.
It is functioning ok again.

Hey guys.
I have a desire which has been dropped and the screen in the top left corner cracked. The proximity sensor is damaged, and I can test with various apps that this is indeed broken.
Now, when I get or make a call, the screen turns off, but since the proximity sensor isn't working, it's not turning on again when I move the phone away from my ear. So I wanted to know if anyone knew of a way of either completely disabling the feature, or a way of manually "waking" the screen again, by using any of the hard-buttons?
Thanks
what happens.. when you press power button
Sometimes it comes on, but mostly it doesn't... Regardless of which button I press...
I have read somwhere.. that by blowing some air over that part.. may clear any blocakge.. and proximity sensor works fine.. just try this .. use any vaccume cleaner.. and blow some air over sensor part..
And if that doesnt work.. search for this app in market "'Proximity Screen Off' ".. it might help you.
Yeah, I read that too... Tried blowing with compressed air even. The sensor is dead :/
Try this app.. it will switch your proximity sesor off after call ended.. its not mine just found. you might wanna try this

Hy, i have got the same problem !
Hey,
there is a problem with the proximity sensor on my phone during a call.
The screen keeps turning off and on during a call if I don't hold it in a uncomfortable way, the fact that the speaker grill is really badly designed for calling doesn't help.
Anyway, some time ago I saw a thread here with an app that could calibrate the sensor (+- sensitivity). I did a search just now but couldn't find it, so I was hoping someone could help me out.
Thanks!

hi,
when i make or recive a call the screen locks and cant be torned on back.
the only way to turn the screen back on now is to pull the battery out and then back in.
i tried to do defulat reset for settings, but it didnt work.
can someone please tell me what can i do to solve this promlem?
Is the proximity sensor ok?
Sent from my Anzu
how can i check this?
Is it covered up at all? Some cases can cover it, so the screen is always off in a call.
It's the little dark, shiny, oval shape to the left of the earpiece.
Hi;
While on a call, the screen will close. While still talking I press the side button to open the screen and the call will disconnect.
How do I correct this?
Thank you.
Same question. Its just stupid, how on earth I`m supposed to wake up screen without disconnecting a call ?!
Go to: settings>Accessibility>un-check-power button ends call
what's funny is i'm pretty sure that this setting is not selected out of the box, so you guys must have went and enabled it yourselves!

I don't know about yours but my SGN seems to have proximity sensor near the speaker and it seems to turn screen on as soon as I take it away from my ear auto-magically It may "lag", but it's fair enough for me...
Mine did the same thing today. I confirmed the accessibility link cited above was not checked. Proximity sensor is irrelevant, I was on a two hour conference call and speaker using speaker phone mode. Screen times out and shuts down on its own, which also shuts off the prox sensor.
When I make or receive calls the screen turns black and the touchscreen is disabled. I assume this is to avoid accidental keypresses with my ear or something, but my phone doesn't leave this mode until call ends.. I assume it would switch on screen/touch when leveled horizontally, but it doesn't.
I cannot end the call or do anything while the screen is disabled.
The only thing that works sometimes is to double press power button to turn on camera (thus enabling screen/touch), but it is no reliable method.
Sometimes, if I call a person not taking the call, without mailbox or automatic termination of connection, I have to reboot to phone to end this.
Any idea what I can do? Can this supposedly helpful behavior be switched off or fixed?
I am on Android stock 8.1.0 (OPM6.171019.030.H1, Aug 2018), rooted with most recent Magisk.
This bug is driving me nuts, so Thank You for any ideas or help!
Is there anything blocking the proximity sensor (below the right of the speaker)?

Not that I know of. All is as normal as can be.
But right now, it seems the "trick" with the camera double click works more reliably (>50%) than before. Whatever reason..
If you've had the phone apart recently ... check proximity sensor. There's a little rubber piece tends to fall out.
Did You applied a screen protector recently? I had the same issue because of screen protector was covering the proximity sensor
