Proximity sensor

its not a proximity problem as the screen stays off if it was the sensor the screen would keep lighting up
I have had this problem and posted about it already
I have tried with the double tap to wake feature off to see if it was that but no such luck!!

I usually have same problem, I click on power button to turn off the screen and usually it solves the click problem.
Don't know why android phones proximity sensor doesn't works as good as iPhone. Never had that problem in any iPhone and for android it seems all the phone have this problem.

never had this problem on my HTC one X
and I have never heard of the problem on other phones either!!
I also used to have problems with proximity sensor not waking up the screen during a call. It seemed to be completely random: sometimes it happened after only 1 min of talk time, other time after 5 minutes, other time it worked ok even after 20 minutes of talk time. I turned off "double tap to wake up" and I never had any problems since. I'm not sure it's not a coincidence, but it worked so far (10 days).
About the cut off calls:it's not the proximity sensor. For me that happened on any European firmware. I tried the original .55 Vodafone Germany (the one that the phone came with), .55 UK and .402 Germany. It happened randomly on all of them. I tried repair firmware, factory reset, re flash with FlashTool. Nothing worked. The ones that work flawlessly for me are TW firmwares. I tried both .69 TW and currently on .402 TW. No cut off calls, no problems, no overheating in 4K (about 10 minutes recording).

In the Diagnostics app, go to Test Device and run the Ear Proximity test. Mine passed just fine.

Fixed my Proximity/Ambient light Sensor
Hi, I had this problem since new and I tried installing lots of stock and custom roms (Stock US, Stock SP, Stock TW, Miui, CM11) but it was until I installed EXISTANZ rom, and a hard reboot, and then it magically started working. I knew it wasn't a Hardware issue because when the phone boots it worked for few minutes, then stop reading samples. But I've been with this rom for 3 weeks and I don't have any problem with this (Already installed and update, reset the phone and still working).
So if you have the chance, install this rom.

double tap to wake issue
Hi ,
I also encountered this issue and i performed a test with and without the "double tap to wake" option.
The result is: without the option activated all is fine but when the "double tap to wake" option is activated and the proximity sensor is covered(screen is black) if you double tap the screen it remains closed. So seems that if you are engaged in a conversation and you miss touch twice the screen, it will remain closed.

Hi all,
First sorry from bringing an old thread.
I am an owner of two black d6502 xperia z2
One of them is running perfectly, the other suffers from the same behaviour the op describe.
When handling a call, the proximity sensor works fine, it is making the screen black but it is NOT LOCKING the menu, I.e the screen is black but you can swipe the status bar down and enter different menu while the proximity sensor is keeping the screen black.
My second xperia z2 behave normally, when handling call, proximity sensor turn the screen black and locks the menu, if i swipe on the screen the software ain't responsive.
Was anyone successful to fix this issue?

The problem is in the screen protector. There is a post in the Sony Forum how to solve the problem.
It's simple hardware problem... you have to remove back cover, find connector of proximity sensor, remove it and put again, press hard and it will work...
for long time I've had that issue, but until I ordered new sensor tried to do that trick and it helped
