About S4 Sensors [Requires Root!]

This app will help you calibrate that annoying proximity sensor on your Samsung Galaxy S4. If your phone blacks out and won't turn on the screen (no matter what you do) while you are in a call then this app is for you.

If you have any problems PLEASE CONTACT ME before you leave negative feedback.

So far it has only been tested on the T-Mobile Galaxy S4. It will probably work on several different devices.

S4 black screen during call is fixed!

by T####:

I spent a lot of time looking around XDA to find a way of doing this, your app worked a charm as a nice shortcut! One thing I did notice is that my sensors go from 51-255 not zero or 50? Unlikely to be a software problem either way, just odd

Proximity sensor was not working when I installed cm12.1. After properly rooting, this app solved the issue with phone screen staying off during calls. Support is also really good.

Had to run the calibrate a few times but it worked. Tested on 2 different custom ROMs. The black screen wasn't an issue for me on stock ROM but this fixed it for other ROMs. I'm using the Galaxy S4 T-Mobile. Thanks for this app!

Tried vacuuming the phone grills and speaker holes for several times... It worked for a while and then fail on me again. But this app saved my phone! I know I can do this for free using adb shell, but chose to pay for the app to support the app dev. Great work DaGentooBoy !!

D70%

Best $1.99 I have spent to fix the proximity sensor not working properly during calls on non-TW ROMs. Currently running Verizon S4 custom ROM, Lollipop.

Y70%
by Y####:

Phone is an s4 Canada model. During calls, my screen was turning off with no way to get it back on to use the dial pad, go to speaker, or even hang up. First time I ran the calibration, everything working back to normal!

O70%
by O####:

I had the problem where during a call if I removed the phone from my ear the screen remained black. Very annoying when you get a solicitation call and want to hang up, or need to use the keypad. This fixed the problem for me, so well worth the money thanks!

J70%
by J####:

Better to pay $2 than $700 for a new s4. Must buy if your on a custom rom.

C70%

Proximity sensor finally fixed. Glad I rooted my S4.

C70%
by C####:

Using Paranoid Android on my i9505 the screen would never turn on during a call, making it impossible to use the dial pad or hang up. A quick and easy calibration using this app fixed the issue. Thanks!

I70%
by I####:

This fixed the problem I had with the screen remaining blank during a call after I'd taken the phone away from my ear. You can do this recalibration of the sensor by hand, using ADB or a terminal but this is much easier :-)

First, it 100% fixed my issues. I have spent so much time searching and reading how to fix this problem. I'm on my 2nd Note 3 and it also started acting up. I don't care if I will need to use this from time to time. Thanks.!

by O####:

My Note 3 returns a normal value of 172,and goes up to 800 when you cover the sensor... So I wasn't sure that this would work. Turns out that it worked perfectly! Thank you

Nothing else worked, and the phone blacking out during calls was horrendously annoying. Worked perfectly on my Galaxy S4 from VZW running Cyanogenmod
