Proximity sensor does not work after recent update.

[coolant9]

after the latest update, to version 7.3.2.0(LHOMIDD), the proximity sensor's functionality has regressed (actually I do not remember the previous behaviour, can someone comment .

But now, while in a call, and when i place the handset close to the ear, the display switches off, but it does't automatically switch on , once i remove it from the ear.

This is quite irritating, is there a work around for the same?

Yes it happens to me too !! actually my device came with the latest version ! I did not update it !! May be a software issue !?

It's a known issue, hopefully it will be fixed with miui8. A workaround is to disable auto brightness

Well usually restarting fixes it.. go to settings about and click kernal version 5 times it will take u to service mode and try calibrating proximity sensor from there.. if this helped please hit the thnx button : )

Proximity sensor issue

Proximity sensor is not working properly on my Redmi Note 3 . I don't know when it stopped working, noticed it yesterday.
The phone is currently running on 7.5.3.0 MIUI. I am not able to calibrate as well it just displays Fail.
Can someone help?

I have the same problem, even on custom roms I flashed miui and recalibrate the sensor and flashed RR rom there was no issue the issues started after I rebooted and again to temporary fix this issue I had to again reboot the phone and it solves and the problem comes back again after some time.....

@nexuspur, @techocentral, @kesavvel, @ coolant9 , there is one app i found in playstore which may fix this because it reloads the values on evry reboot try it....
