Any way to disable the proximity sensor? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

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?

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.

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.)

Side Lock Button

So I found out real quick last night while playing with my 6 month old baby that this watch needs some sort of lock. When she was squirming around in my arms the Google Voice commands opened a dozen times and she tried to share some of my notifications and reply with Voice for a couple of text messages. And this was all within the first 15 minutes.
I was wondering if there was anyone else experiencing this and their thoughts. I saw a couple of lock screen apps out there but I was thinking with the Moto 360 it would be really nice if that side button was a lock / unlock button for when you want the watch to remain in the ambient mode and not wake up from screen taps. I know that the button switches the watch to ambient mode but it does not seem to lock the screen from touches. Might be a nice idea for future implementation as I have not used the side button for anything yet as the screen wakes when I lift the watch to my face.
What are your thoughts?
this exact thing happened to me yesterday! I have an 8 month old and the watch just attracted him lol
I don't have a creature, but I too would like for the watch to only activate when I want it to. I want to have to press the button to turn the screen on.
Have you guys tried Showear or Lockable? Both are free but Lockable charges for the pin unlock feature.
I don't want just a screen lock, but a lock that completely keeps the screen turned off until I press the hard button on the side. (To not waste battery when I definitely don't want the screen to turn on by touch and/or accelerometer). Does an app exist for this?

That is exactly what I am looking for. Something that keeps it in the Ambient mode until I press the side button and locking the touch screen. It seems like an easy enough option because the button really has no other use as you can turn the screen on and off by tilting your hand. So it would probably serve better as a locking button.

I do not shower with a watch on so I have not tried it. I am sure it would go crazy. Another reason for a lock button.
Yea a lock app or something would be nice mine is so sensitive I could sneeze and it turns it on..hope something comes about soon

I have come across an app called Baby Time which locks the watch and only allows a specific swipe gesture of up twice and then down twice. Kinda gets the task done but it would be a lot simpler if it was activated by the button on the Moto 360. Another comment is that it replaces the watch face you have with one created in the app which for some reason does not seem to have an option out of the 24 hour clock. I will use for now but I am hopeful that something better will come along. Also have to start the app by saying "Start Baby TIme"
Lol!

[Q] Touch to wake options

Like the Title says, can someone please add a Touch-To-Wake option.
We already have the Ambient Screen and Tilt To Wake Screen options that were introduced in the Android Wear 5.0 update, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why a Touch To Wake option was never included.
Having read through countless posts and threads on the net, it seems to not only be mine but everybody else's bane of their Android Wear experience. It would have to be THE most requested option in the history of Android Wear.
I realize there is Theater Mode, but this just isn't good enough.
We want to be able to have notifications pushed to the watch, we want to have the Vibrate when a notification comes through, we want to be able to tilt/flick the wrist to have the watch turn on........what we don't want is the watch turning on every time it touches a part of your body. It is especially annoying if you are sitting on a table with your arms crossed, or even sitting in a car with your arm crossed over and the screen touches your leg.
Please Please Please add this option in the official Moto360 ROM and release it yesterday.

4) Don't beg people to do things then tell them when you need it done by - it's not your work, it's none of your business when it gets completed.
5) I have yet to see any other threads requesting tap to wake. (Perhaps because it's already there?)

Putting it in theater mode is that bad? Only pressing the button turns it on I use it when I know I am not gonna be able to look at it or I need to take it off so it just stays "asleep"just have your phone vibrate and then you can wake your watch as you please

Yes it is.
Theatre mode doesn't wake the screen up when you rotate the watch.
It doesn't vibrate when a notification comes through.
I would like to have all the features available when the watch is in its normal mode......but without the touch-to-wake option turned on.

Its called theater mode....
You could always just compile your own kernel and remove the function. It honestly wouldn't be that hard. It would just take some research. If you want me to point you in the right direction, I can, but forewarned, it will require some possibly heavy learning depending on your current level.

Yeah, hence why I put this post into the Original Android Development thread. An option like this should be made a standard on all Android Wear devices, especially the Moto360.
I wouldn't have the faintest idea about compiling a kernal and to be honest, have no intention of rooting/modifying my Moto360 (even though I do it for all my phones).
All I wanted was to request that this option be made available, hopefully for the next Android Update because there are a great number of people who are having the same issues I am. Honestly, it is the only option I wished I had since the first time I turned the watch on.

I understand that sometimes there are things we may not like BUT this seems like it should be such an easy damn fix.
I know when I'm sleeping this screen goes on and off all night. My arm hits my other arm or whatever... I toss and turn a lot.
I totally agree. I must have this option. No more tap to wake. I like tilt to wake but tap to wake activates on accident all the time. Can't find a solution.
How on earth does touch to wake constantly happen accidently but tilt to wake does not?

The tilt to wake works by the gyro sensor. It just means you might need to give your wrist a bit of a flick to turn the screen on.
What i don't understand is the touch to wake would have to be the most annoying thing for all wearable, and yet the developers refuse to put in the option to turn it off.
even in the upcoming update, there is no mention of including that option.

You mis understood my statement. I was asking how one could find the touch to wake annoying but NOT the tilt to wake. As it is.. I am actually using it just as you describe. I have tilt to wake off and then I can just touch the screen to turn it on. I don't like the tilt to wake on the moto 360, I much prefered pebbles wrist flick to wake up. As for touch to wake, I am not sure why this would be a problem, what is touching your watch that keeps turning it on?
Tilt to wake isn't that much of an issue for me. I actually like it the way it is.
As for the touch to wake; you name it, it's annoying.
- Crossing your arms while sitting at a table
- sitting in the car with your hand on your leg (or between your knees)
- walking past someone and having their hand brush across yours (and accidentally touching the watch)
- crossing your arms
It's not enough that it just turns on but what add to the frustration is that if you aren't cautious, the Google Speak function kicks in and starts doing all sorts of crazy stuff on your phone

Device wake issues (power button ignoring first press)..

Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?
http://somevid.com/N1OnU8JS
I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds

Just learned I hate s10+ & android

I just learned I hate s10+ & android
S10+:
Uninstalled bixby using adb. Button still remains.
The orientation of volume keys and that damn bixby button that i had to create a samsung account to disable it. While powering the device i need to grab the other side with my fingers and squeeze which the volume keys are
Samsung phone app: on speaker screen sleeps after 10 or so seconds.
Found an option called smart stay. enabled that and found lift to wake option..
no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button. And that's if the face recognition works. Sometimes it doesnt turn on. There is a way to disable this but face rec to unlock the phone has to be enabled, defeats the purpose.
Trying turn screen off, end up taking a screenshot.
Battery sucks.
When you grab the phone watching something horizontal, the palm covers the bottom speaker.
?Now i really hate s10+, no aptx hd support?

The clipboard, select all moves from the original place and jumps to "more" for more clipboard options.
the cursor upside down gps logo drag is stupid, draws up a magnifying glass, very irritating.
voice to text is just bad.
Some times highlight something, the clipboard does not popup, gotta grab the page n scroll it, clipboard pops up.
Google suggestions & auto correction sucks.
Battery sucks.
No screen protector, holding down on a field to paste, gotta hold field 2 or three times for paste clipboard pops up.

I'll update this op as I go long or if I recall any bloops.
Let the discussion begin. Be adults.
strange... i have no problems at all... from button, auto fill, clipboard.
but sorry... i dont use any of samsung app.. (lastpass, keyboard, voice command etc).. I'm using google.

The only issues I am having with Android 10 is AT&T not knowing how to properly roll out an update before getting rid of all the bugs.
Last Pass is finally usable on Android 10. Not sure why your having problems with it.....

Android Poops allover Crapple. So much more you can do with Open Source. Customisation and apps designed to do specific things that the IPhone can only dream of.
Id rather have a phone i can personalize rather than be held hostage by Apple and limited software .

I have been Android user since the beginning and have a 2nd device which has been an iPhone for 4 years.
Android is superior to iOS in many many ways. The thing is, for the average Joe, the person who will use Verizon's Message+ app just because it was installed, for this user iOS is a better option. Simply works and also simple... no carrier crap.
I know a lady, had the IPhone 6, but really liked the look of the S7 or S8 , cant remember which, she only had it for a month, but she is like theres too much stuff on this to understand, so she went back to iPhone, then decided the IPhone was boring and migrated back to the S9.
As for performance, my partner's friend has the latest iPhone and when they are on a call together in messenger her friend keeps dropping out, my partner has the Samsung A50 because she dosent like curved edges. There never seems to be issues with other people in messenger.
And i think most governments use iPhones because they can't be modified by the average person. And this is why apple sales get their quota, government organizations and Reporter's. Even Mr Trumpty prefers his Samsung over IPhone.
This thread is just weird. If there are multiple apps that handle the same call on Android then you are presented with a prompt by the OS to select a default app to handle that function and then going forward that app will be the one to answer the call when an action triggers that function so I don't understand how this user is getting multiple clipboard apps getting triggered by the clipboard function.
to add another thing there's no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button.
OP updated.
The phone turns off because the proximity sensor flashes so your ear doesn't cut people off

LOLWUTT? Just take the phone back and get something else because clearly you don't have a single clue what you're doing or you're trolling.
Only complain I have is that my 3-4 sot equates to 60-80% usage of the battery. I've cleared cache, put most apps to sleep, no gos, no wifi (at work no wifi) no media except Spotify to and from work (1hr total) no nothing autosync.
I'm sick of it. Makes me miss my old phones more because I could leave those things on and get 2 days avg out of them before charging, and that includes watching Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or my Plex server

There is an option in settings > biometrics and securtity> face id > "stay in lock screen" after the phone is unlocked by face-unlock.
You just toggle that switch on.
If you toggle this on, next time you press the power button, the phone will get into the lock screen, it will unlock (if it reads your face), but it will stay in lock screen (so as you can read your notifications etc.). You will have to scroll up to get into the home screen.
I suppose that's what you want to do, correct?

I hate it even more. There is a way to disable this but face rec to unlock the phone has to be enabled, defeats the purpose.

Can you please explain what you are trying to do?
You want to press the power button and not get into home screen, but stay in Lock screen, correct?
If you don't enable face id, it will not unlock and take you to home screen directly. It will stay in lock screen till you unlock it either by the fp scanner or the pin etc.
If you want to have face id enabled, but not get into home screen directly, you toggle the switch I told you in my previous post.
So what is it that you want to do?
He's trying hard to troll, you just covered every other sensible option.

Themes / Apps / Mods [APP][11.0][12.1][13.0] AOSP DIALER with Proximity checkbox (call recorder incl) + macro

Since proximity sensor on F3 is fairly useless/non stable on calls I compiled the [A11/A12] AOSP dialer with proximity checkbox. Install via Magisk.
Set dialer as default phone app (reboot) and check proximity ON (so proximity doesn't work anymore...)
In call :
you can either use your powerbutton or double tap on statusbar to dim screen.
or you can use a small macro add-on I made - Call_AutoScreen_On-Off_(F3) - which auto dims screen when call is started and auto lights up the screen when call is ended. How to :
install MacroDroid
import the unzipped macro
give permissions where needed (reboot/don't forget to nuke proximity in dialer ofc).
thx @anuppoudel for testing as well
Added A12 AOSP Dialer
Thank you @raystef66 for providing such a useful solution, most needed
Since I got the F3, I've gotten used to just manually locking the screen before I put the phone to my ear. So, what advantage do I get from using your modified app?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your work! I'm just curious...

Ok, thanks...
1. The screen is locked with the app, but I have to manually dim the screen by pressing the power button? Hmm...
2. When the call starts I have to switch loudspeaker on and off again before I actually can hear the one who's calling (or the one I am calling resp.) over the earpiece (is there any solution for this bug out there? or has it even been solved and I'm still doing it out of habit? ).
Unfortunately, it seems that this mod would make the whole dumb workaround procedure even more frustrating (for me)

Point of this all is to nuke proximity sensor (more stability during calls) and let the macro do the job of auto dimming the screen when call gets active and waking it up when call's done. No more no less. So no more pressing the powerbutton or whatever.
Even with the macro running during call you can easily dt2w or press power button to wake screen. Dim it again by pressing the powerbutton again (or double tap statusbar). But how many times does that happen? Not much for me.
For you it does apparently because you have to press loudspeaker. Well you can as you did before on the other dialer you had. Only thing now is that proximity is disabled as well. So more stability.
In the past even with just pressing the power button I had wake-ups during calls. Proximity is unstable so therefore diabling it is the logic solution (for me).
As mentioned above, it's up to others to use it or not.
PS : in macro you can easily add some time to it before screen auto-dims so you have time enough to tap your loudspeaker. Or even add a speakerphone task. Up to you.

Unfortunately, the problem with the proximity sensor is extremely unsatisfactory - a feature that always worked reliably since my first smartphone was mightily screwed up by Xiaomi. I guess everyone who makes several calls per day is annoyed by the behavior and is looking for solutions. Therefore, it is of course highly gratifying if among the annoyed users there are also a few developers who can program solutions.
My frustration with the proximity sensor was not meant to blame the dev for not bringing a solution that works for me - the criticism is solely for Xiaomi. As I said, I appreciate the developer's work! Therefore, sorry if my post came across with a bad mood... I'm glad that the workaround app offered by the dev helps many users
@raystef66
Thank you for your answer! Earlier I was still unsure, now I know: the loudspeaker on/off "game" isn't over on my device - I just tested it. For an outgoing call, I have to deactivate the loudspeaker only after the ring tone, otherwise the earpiece remains silent. Unfortunately, this ring tone sometimes starts after 1 second, sometimes after 5 seconds - and sometimes without waiting time the call starts immediately. So, I don't think it's possible to create a universal solution with a macro.
The thing that works for me, on the other hand, is that the phone stays locked until I unlock it (lucky me! ). Initially, this accidently wake-up also happened to me, because I came to the fingerprint sensor with the index finger or thumb - but here I have now also re-educated myself
Anyway, thanks for not resigning yourself to the status quo and continuing to look for solutions!

On previous version call recording didn't work fully. Therefore made a second version which provides call recording as well
Alioth_AOSP_Dialer_Proximity_raystef66_v2
Apologies if this is off topic but this thread will likely attract the right eyes.. Dialing hasnt been my big problem yet..
How do you deal with pocket wake up ?? Face unlock (maybe tap to wake ??) the position of the fingerprint reader mean this thing is constantly awake and pin lock failing in my pockets.. Driving me crazy.
EDIT :::
Testing it (pixel experience plus) my phone never senses, in any orientation.. Others report some form of sensing.
Upright.. hand to phone.. hand over phone.. I am not getting anything.
It wakes on movement.. It wakes to attempt face unlock (I guess).. It wakes on screen touch,, it never overrides that despite there being an option to prevent accidental wake up (which has no noticeable effect). I dont see what combo of settings may be correct here.
Its currently flat out unusable.. Its a mobile phone which you cannot put in your pocket and which wakes as you carry it. People cant be just accepting this...
Both ZIP files added over Magisk? Or one with TWRP and one with Magisk?
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your useful app.
In android 12 I have a problem, app background color is a very awful green! Please check attachment, what is the problem?
Thanks!

Can you please compile it for A12 too? Because most of the A12 roms doesn't have call recorder now. But your aosp app works good on A12 but has some minor theme problems.

I second this. I like having call recording when I call automated robot calls than I don't need to pay a attention and if I miss something I can relisten to it without a problem or with headphones if it was to quiet. It also works to set people up but in my state it's illegal to record someone who doesn't know their being recorder. So you would just be getting yourself in trouble to.
