Proximity Sensor issue ... I think

[NYFan]

Hey guys,

My Oneplus 5 is working fine without issues but when I make a phone call and have the phone up to my face on almost every call the speaker phone ends up going on by itself. I think this is because the screen is turning on even though the phone is up to my face which would probably be the proximity sensor. It might be worth noting that i use the phone on my left ear as I am a lefty. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thanks!

Are you using a screen protector that covers the sensor?

No I'm not using anything but a cheap gel back protector.

I have the same problem. But I thought the screen was turning on because of double tap to wake .

Same issue here, I even started a thread about it weeks ago. Seems like there must be a dodgy batch of sensors.

I'm going to send mine back under warranty once I can get my 6o back from my daughter so I have a backup phone.

I have the same issue. I used *#808# to check whether the Proximity sensor is working as it should. And it does. For me it more looks like a software issue
