Bluetooth and proximity sensor



Hey guys,

I am a proud S7 Edge owner since two weeks ago. I love it. The overall performance is astonishing y it's design ir ergonomic and beautiful.

But, nothing is perfect, and I found a little problem that is getting me crazy.

I live in Barcelona, and a use a lot the motorbike to move through the city. I have a Bluetooth headset installed in my helmet and i heavily use my LG G WATCH while riding.

I start calls using the watch, you know: "Ok Google, call to......."

The problem is that, while the device is in my pocket and if it is connected to the helmet's Bluetooth headset, the screen remains turned on, PROXIMITY SENSOR DOESN'T WORK while Bluetooth is working. Humidity in Barcelona is very high in summer, and I accidentally end a lot of calls, or while speaking I touch number buttons continuously, with is very disgusting for the person on the other side of the phone.

The user experience is absolutely frustrating.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

I came from a HTC M8, M9 and OnePlus X and didn't have this problem with them.

Thank you all.

Proximity Sensor Bug/Glitch - Maybe Hardware or Kernel issue - Any Solution?



The Tampered, Unclocked, S-Off, Cid-11111111, HBoot 2.22, Rooted HTC One Mini that I have doesn't ring when Proximity Sensor reads "NEAR".

I'm aware of Sense 6 options like "Ring louder when in pocket" but none of them worked on making the phone ring when a call is received.

That happened when the phone was completely stock, so recently I went through all the process of S-Offing it to install a new Rom. I choose the latest Insert Coin 5.0.8, but the problem persists. so now I'm almost certain it's an hardware issue...

The phone has several years old and returning it for repair/replaced isn't really an option.

Since I'm giving this phone to my mother, I really need it to ring and vibrate when someone calls her or else she'll never pickup any calls with the phone in her purse.

I've tried installing Xposed Framework to have a try at the sensor disabling app, but the whole rom crashed badly and I needed to reinstall everything.

Other usefull info:
Kernel: 3.4.10-kairi@M4 zeroblade1984@c3-nanotech #1 SMP FREEMPT

Is there a way to override proximity sensor when a call is received and/or making the phone ring regardless of proximity sensor state?

Looking foward for an expert tip. Thanks.

Proximity Sensor issue incall Display goes black



I had recently owned Nexus 6P with Tempered Glass screen protector & thin Case, whenever I am in call, my phone display turns off. I believe there's something to do with its proximity sensor. Does my screen protector blocking the proximity sensor?

May you check my device on this image URL
