Hi.
I've just have a problem with my proximity sensor, everytime "closed".
The problem seems to come from my Brando ultraclear screen protector: the sensor works again when I remove the film!
I've been using this protection since I bought the phone, one year ago, without any problem.
Is there somewhere a parameter to check sensitivity?
I remove all apps using the sensor (mediabar and proximityclock, not used), with no change.
I'll try with another film when I'll receive it.
while true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state; done

You may run the following command under xterminal to test the sensitivity of the proximity sensor (CTRL-C to break):
'open' means nothing in front of the sensor, 'close' otherwise.Code:while true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state; done
You don't need to remove the film if you know it causes the problem, just punch a hole on the film where it blocks the sensor.

Of course, without the protection, the code running show me true values, open and close.

Ahem...
Given this observation, you are still so confident that the problem does not lie in the screen protector itself?

I've just found the problem :
I manualy delete the file /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/mediabar: sensor works again with screen protector on!
I tried with some scotch tape on too: it works
It was so simple...
Thanks for your help!
