@albaguirre It might really be the proximity sensor. But in a strange way. Kind of, "it depends on the mood of the device, and when in phone calls it's almost always in a bad mood."
I've noticed this today when my son wanted to find out what the ProximityCheck app is about. I tried to demo it to him, and the sensor switched to "NEAR" (orange) and didn't switch back to "FAR" anymore. I tried again turning the sensor off and on again in the app, and the erroneous behavior remained. I closed the app and tried again, and again it remained orange after moving it to the ear and taking it away again. In another try the app kind of flickered, mostly orange but green inbetween for fractions of a second even with nothing close the phone. Most interesting though, after some time when trying another time the app finally showed normal behavior, with the proximity sensor telling "NEAR" with an object right in front of the phone and "FAR" with the same object further away from it. Very strange. So, is this maybe a hardware defect? In a series of devices of the same model? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493574 Title: [vegeta] Phone app makes screen stay black during call (so you can't hang up) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1493574/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
