[BUG]Proximity Sensor On Call

Hi

There is a issue with proximity sensor on neo_v

Normally If a call was accepted and phone too close to human face or skin after that Proximity sensor will disable touchscreen for any accidentally hang-ups, mutes, etc.

anyway first time works fine it will be disabled but after still on a call if phone going to keep away from face(skin) to anywhere than go back to face

touchscreen was not disabled

Proximity sensor failing to detect face or skin

Not good for people who speak on the phone too much

Sorry for poor english

Regards.

@uliwooly-wooly

proximity sensor works all time on service menu test

but not working on call just first time works fine after that no luck

go to settings -> about phone -> check your android version and build number

Already I know I have lastest firmware on phone it's 4.0.2.A.0.62

I don't wanna repair phone software until verifying that someone else it's not a bug

fair enough

I have not been able to replicate that here so I would have to agree with Uliwooly and advise you run the update.
