Proximity sensor issue resolved :)

Big daddy resolved it

You have to sacrifice resetting the phone using the Sony PC software 1st. Avoid data backup from old accounts.

Then, after the reboot is done and Android is reinstalled with update x.x.x.534 goto the dialer & type *#*#7378423#*#* then press dial

In the menu that will come go to calibration and then choose proximity sensor. (If you run the test it might give error = -1) Then, set settings to default and it may ask to reboot the device.

After reboot type *#*#7378423#*#* then press dial. In the menu that will come go to calibration and then choose proximity sensor do the test and it will show success. VIOLAAAaaaa!!!!

Check the phone...it works

Have tested this and the issue is resolved on my phone finally ....yippieeeeeee!!!

Awesome! I could have long dead and gone and still not figure this problem. Kudos to you. I have replaced this phone with a new iPhone 5s principally because of sound / voice issues. Went to trade it in for next ipad mini retina 16gb and was told the dealer will not buy the phone since the proximity sensor is bust. Can now do the trade. Thanks a ton!

Hi,

i also had the issue. I was using screen guard. i think that caused the issue. after calibration the problem was solved.

Mine is NOT resolve. I get the following error message when calibrating my Xperia Z:

Failed(timeout) Please retry. Or your phone may not support this function Error Code m= -98

I have already reset it to factory default and done it many times, always with the same error.

I HATE THIS PHONE.

I am having this issue as well. My screen will not reactivate until the caller disconnects. TOtally aggravating!! Has anyone had any luck with the ProximitySensor Calibration app? I installed it but it errors out when I try to run it.
