Question Proximity Sensor on Xiaomi 12?

[kwanbis]

Hey guys. Does the Xiaomi 12 have a true Proximity Sensor or is that trick they have been doing with the front camera that sucks? Thanks!

Apparently, they use a "virtual AI proximity sensor". For those who use them, who do they really work? The Implementation in the POCO F3 sucked.

I had in the past Poco F3 and proximity sensor was really a mess.
I have now a Xiaomi 12X and I can say that is of course not perfect (like a physical one) but is working fine (acceptable).

Proximity sensor is working fine so far during phone calls, I even tested it multiple times to see if it detects right

I have big issues with this virtual proximity sensor. Very bad!

 

[theartialmartist]

it doesn't exist

Technically you can go to CIT TEST and recalibrate it to fix those kind of issues. I'm not on MIUI right now. Found that on XIAOMIUI.NET .

where do we see the mentioned "calibration option" ?!

I'm almost leaving Xiaomi for that issue.
My Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G touch is always hitted on the pocket. Sometimes, even calling the police.

It really sucks.

No issues so far with my 12X
In contrast to my 10T...

People dont seem to have this problem with the 12 series
My relatives with 11 and 11 Lite dont have it neither

I have the 12, and i`m on LOS right now. The proximity sensor was and is still very bad. The screen fails to close when i put the phone over the ear and screen touch is muting conversation, putting on hold or even ending conversation. I really hate this phone because of this.
I will never ever going to buy China stuff again. I will go back to Sony ASAP!

the sensor is really bad. How can this problem be solved? Is it possible to install an additional program?

My proximity sensor was no working. The Android not was recognized. I downloaded the lastest update package and installed using MIUI update function.
To enable this function.
Go to Settings > My Device > MIUI version. Press several times on MIUI logo until “additional features are on” text comes up. Tap on hamburger menu. Now tap on “Choose update package” option.
After that my proximity sensor was working again.

sensor calibration required
*#*#6484#*#*
addit tools \ speaker calibr test
start calibration, put it to your ear as when talking. the second method when starting calibration is to put the screen down on the table - wait for completion

The proximity sensor works very poorly, sometimes without function at all. Calibration in *#*#6484#*#* does not help. Phone has ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_XM12_V14.0.4.0.TLCCNXM_v14-13.zip
Any other tips on how to fix this error?
