Proximity sensor .153

[samvelkoch]

Is there possibility to exclude proximity sensor from the camera management? Camera can not be rotated to selfie mode because of proximity sensor error which occurs since .153 update.
*Cam module could be rotated by volume buttons

Yes, these are the problems. Everything that use the proximity sensor read it's output like something is near.

As said previously, I think that's a SW bug brought by the last SW update because problems began after it

So the possible solutions are: wait for another update with a bugfixing or have enough luck like samvelkoch whose problems disappeared

Thank you - I can almost 100% confirm that it is proximity sensor related.
I installed Magisk+Riru+EdExposed+Sensor Disabler, and set Proximity to "Mock" 10cm - now:
Calls don't turn screen off automatically (fine with me, never liked this)
Facebook Messenger doesn't turn off screen when I play audio (awesome)
CAMERA FLIPS PROPERLY
While I'm convinced it seems to be a bug now affecting many people at the same time, I'm fine with mocking the value at 10cm for the interim.
Thank you for this thread - I thought I was going crazy 🙂

So you resolved it by rooting your phone?

I was already rooted (via Magisk) - but yes, I installed the Riru "Module" + Riru EdExposed "Module" + Sensor Disabler app from PlayStore (that requires Xposed)
Within the app you can mock the sensor, and even disable it. Setting it to "10cm" registers it permanently as "away" in the proximity test.
YMMV.

.165 doesn't fix this.
