Do I need to replace proximity sensor?

I have a nexus 5 ( marshmallow). I have (stupidly) dropped it twice and the screen is quite damaged. When I receive or make a call the screen goes black. I can't access the touchpad, speaker etc. Very annoying. I am replacing the screen now but the question I have is whether I also need to replace the proximity sensor.
Is it related to my issue? Or will replacing the screen fix everything? The person that is replacing the screen is charging an extra £10 for the sensor if he can do both together. He says if it turns out I need the sensor afterwards it will cost £40 so I would rather do it in one go if I need to.

I have installed the Proximity Screen Off app but it makes no difference.

Thanks

Proximity Sensor Problem 12.1

Hello guys. Basically my problem started after i went 12.1 cyanogen os(YOG4PAS1N0) from stock 11. Problem is with the modem of the 12.1 cyanogen mod my phone is getting no signal. I must add i use cloned imei so my 2g is not working. Only 3g. Maybe thats the problem so i flashed the 11's rom's modems. For example. XNPH44S's modem works like charm for signal. Yet my screen is not rotating... I flashed bunch of proximity sensor fixes yet no one seemed to work. So its either i have signal fixed but no sensor or other way around. Is there any fix for me? Or must i go to a 4.4.4 rom again? (I tried some 12x roms modems too. with them my signal also broken..)

Proximity sensor during a phone call

I'm having a problem where the screen doesn't turn back on when I pull the phone away from my ear during a phone call. Mostly, I am trying to hang up on a phone call but the screen won't turn on unless I hit the power button. The proximity sensor works because if I wave my hand over the screen, the notifications pop up. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance.

Camera sensor question

Alright, so it's known that the sensor used in the N6P is the Sony IMX377. However, does anyone know if this sensor is native 16:9? 12.3mp is already pretty damn low for a "flagship" phone now-a-days, so it would kind of suck to have to go down to 9.6mp to shoot in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Re-calibrating the proximity sensor.

Hey guys,

The proximity sensor on my G4, for some reason, causes my phone to turn the screen back off immediately when I try to turn it on in the dark. I took it to Verizon, and apparently they see this very frequently. so they would not just give me a new phone. I do have a tempered glass screen protector on my phone, and it covers the whole front, covering the proximity sensor. Is there anything I can do it solve this, it is super annoying? I basically just have to turn off pocket mode, but I cannot see any settings for that on the G4.

I saw another XDA thread that referenced the At&T model of this phone, they have a number to dial that gets to a service menu, that did not work on my Verizon G4.

thanks, any help is appreciated.

LG Watch Heartbeat Sensor APIs

Hi there,

I'm working on an app which will use heartbeat sensors, among other things. As some watches seem to not provide their sensors using the Google Fit APIs / SensorManager, I wanted to ask: Does anyone here know if the LG Watch Urbane makes the sensor data available using the default heart rate sensors in the Google Fit API? If yes, does it work reasonably well? I'd like to avoid shelling out 0 on a smartwatch, only to find that it is incompatible with the APIs I want to use. :eek:

Thanks in advance,

How to fix the gyro sensor bug in a rom?

I recently flashed the official lollilop 5.1 from kitkat 4.4.2. After flashing when i checked for sensors in cpu z or any other app, gyro is missing from there. Then I checked that the developers have forgotten to put the driver files for gyro. So anyhow can I flash the files from the stock kitkat? Which files to flash btw?

Problem flashing stock rom and being able to toggle wifi/proximity sensor

I have an M919 Galaxy S4 on Tmobile. My phone started having the "sim card removed error" several times a day. Instead of messing with solutions I've read about inserting foam I decided to flash my current setup to a new phone. Using a TWRP backup, I flashed my boot, system, and data to a new phone (4.4.4 stock, rooted). However, the wifi off at boot and won't toggle on or off. Also, the proximity sensor keeps the screen off, even when I press the power button, during calls. When I take this same phone and flash the original stock rom, everything seems to work again. Any ideas would be really appreciated.

As a side not, is there a way to flash TWRP backups using ODIN? The folders seem to consist of several md5 files and I was wondering if there was a way to flash all of that at once, or for TWRP to generate a tar file.

Temperature sensor question

I'm wondering what the tz_sensor 8 is for?
I'm thinking it's measuring ambient/room temperature as it's always lower than the other sensors and it roughly room temp.

I'm guessing the others to be for device temperature.

Does anyone know for sure?
