Main issue is actually the newer proximity sensors/AI accelerometer based implementation used for all the v shape/u-shaped notch/punch hole are poorly designed/calibrated in budget devices. They used to work reliably when we used to have thick Bezels in budget devices.
Mom was facing this issue to an extreme on her Realme device and it was really bugging her, so much so that she wished she had her Redmi Note 5 from years ago although this phone is way better in literally everything else. You can count on GeekyRanjit to address the actual things we need in our phones like cellular call quality and stuff. Thanks and Happy New year! P.S.

Koi tarika he kya sir iska fix karane ka.. meri mummy bhi pareshan he (Phone is Realme 8)call karte waqt proximity sensor band nahi hota to dusara kai bhi aap khul jata he
Thank you so much Sir. The fix is so easy and worthful for everyone who was facing issue with proximity sensor functioning. I Watched more than 50 videos to find the fix but didn't got any solution. Service centre was charging more than 1k to fix it but this video fixed this problem for free.
I watched numerous videos and attempted various settings, but none of them worked. Only you were able to provide a genuine solution to this problem. Thank you so much.
I was literally facing this situation right now and was trying to find the possible cause of this. I'm using Realme 7 Pro During a call, the screen goes full black and I'm not able to interact with the phone until the call is disconnected. Because of this proximity sensor issue, the always on display keeps turning off automatically after a couple of seconds. Call it coincidence or fate, I opened RUclips and the first video I saw was on this same issue and that too by Ranjit sir Thank you so very much for this video sir.
I have a redmi note 8 pro, I am very grateful, your solution is the only one that solved the proximity issue during voice calls. Thank you and more power.
Most used video. . Many times my nothing phone went to airplane mode while speaking and calls got disconnected. . This dialer works like a charm. . You are the best Ranjit bhai
After many months of hassle and trying different settings and apps (Kinscreen was supposed to work according to every post I found online, but it didn't for me), using this dialer as recommended in this video and disabling the prox sensor finally did the trick. Thank you sir, for your time and your great guide
O my goodness! It is working perfectly on my Redmi note 10 pro, which is really the bad proximity sensor issue mobile in the market, Thanks a lot Ranjit 😊
Thank you for helping me fix a moto E30 🙏. Every call I made the screen went black, couldn't access the phone so had to wait for the other end to hang up before I could access anything. I installed Right dialer, made it the default dialer app and disabled the proximity sensor during calls, worked a charm!
Sir I literally can't thank you enough to fix this for us. I was literally having issues in my OnePlus 11 for the last 10 days. I saw the video, installed a new dailer as you recommended and the issue is fixed. Now I can see who is calling me.. Thanks again ❤❤❤
Thankyou so much. New Nokia g60 was constantly going to black screen and having to soft reboot during calls. No help from Nokia. This is a sanity saver !
what a legend. This fixed it. Had to disable proximity sensor in ap but it's fixed. Phe, it was so painful. If I got someone's messagebank I had to wait til it timed out before i could access my phone again
Thank you so much 🙏. I was so irritated with the issue for a couple of months. Changed screen guard, restarted multiple times. Nothing helped. I could never imagine it could be a problem of a dialer
I'm genuinely speaking about my story 29th Dec 2022. My POCO F1 2019 model connected with tws earbuds, lying flat on table, while i was having a conversation over the google meet audio call. As voice call was hung up, My screen turned up and as i was picking up my phone above from the table, Proximity sensor closed the screen because of my hand reflection, To this day my phone never woke up. Went to XIAOMI service centre (got response of motherboard replacement), Went to local hand repair hub in the city (got response of I.C. change, ultimately 6 hrs later final reply of motherboard replacement). Eventually let go of my 4 yr old master tech of 2019. Purchased Galaxy Z Fold 4. I'm so happy to see this issue being raised by the prominent tech reviewer of all time. Thanks Ranjeet sir for speaking about the issue.
This dialer fixes the issue of proximity sensor. But it cannot handle multiple calls, Suppose you are on a call and another call come then you don't get the option to receive it. Please see to it!
Fixes Proximity sensor issues But Not able to Do conference calls No Direct video calling Search for contacts and recent calls are different No call recording
I faced this problem while using my Redmi note 3 ,years back . Now I am using samsung from past couple of years. One thing with samsung is that it doesn't have problems like this. Runs smooth with not much issues .
Samsung not an exception. I've been facing this issue from last 9 months. I did almost everything like reset settings, format phone, used 3rd party apps but nothing worked.
Then the issue is hardware related and may be yours is a faulty device. Have 5 different Galaxies (including mine and family members) at home and none has the issue. BTW GS21 is my daily driver.
@@ijazm773 you have a flagship brother but not all people can afford it. It's quite obvious that nobody wish not even samsung to have such issues in flagships as it is related to brand supremacy. You may have a good experience with but not all have.
@@rraviranjan1 Right brother, I really didn't intend to make you feel less or more, if you felt any bad accept my appology. And, also in older M Series devices Samsung used Camera based proximity detection which performed poorly, so that can be the reason too... Here in this video, the issue seems to be Google dialer(which Galaxy devices don't come with) and the issue you might be facing has to do with something else.
@@ijazm773 yes I'm using M series but that doesn't too old. I was not aware about this camara based proximity sensor issue. Anyways, getting andoid 13 in few days. Hope this will no longer an issue anymore. Thanks for your valuable suggestions
I had 2 S21FEs and both had this issue and that too within a week of purchase. I waited 4-5 months for refund. Even Samsung has this issue especially with Exynos Processor.
A serious issue which I guess every mobile user faces and from low to high end devices must give proper proximity sensor for better voice call experience.
Happy 2023 to everyone. I had to move to the iPhone because I was fed up with the screwy android updates and the proximity sensor issues. Purchased the iPhone 14 Pro after only 1 and a half years. I live overseas so I only paid 1 lakh fr 256gb iPhone 14 Pro but I feel like that's a better way for me to invest that much in a smartphone rather than get screwed over by android phone updates in two years.
If u are willing to pay 1lakh for a mobile ..... how did u even end up with a mi phone or similar low budget phone in the first place..... if android was ur preference then samsung would have been the prefered brand most probably and samsung doesnt have that issue
@@ManishManish-ui5yv Samsung and google were my options, but google processor is bad and even samsung had OTA update issue, so iPhone was the last man standing

Thank you so much. Finally got a solution to this. Gonna wait for the 15 pro max and switch to iOS. Tired of getting crappy updates which bricks my phone every year.
Once a legend always a legend Ranjit bhai, i was facing this issue since long on my phone & i was like my device is having problem. Thanks for highlighting the issue 🙏
I have had such a problem with the proximity sensor since the early spring of this year, although it had never happened before, and the phone is almost 5 years old. The point is as follows. While listening to voice messages (for example, in Whatsapp), the screen goes off, and the sound is automatically turned down to a minimum. And there is also no way to unlock the screen until you finish listening to the voice message. There is a similar problem with classic calls: the screen is blocked, which makes it impossible to reset the call after a conversation. And I also can't hear the interlocutor, because due to blocking, I don't have time to turn on the loud speaker, only with the input of the pin code of the screen it can be done. But with voice messages (in Whatsapp for example) this kind of stuff doesn't work - even after entering the pin code, the screen immediately goes out again and is blocked. And the strangest thing is that the screen locks itself when accepting a call, although I do not bring the phone itself to my ear. The same picture is seen when trying to listen to a voice message in the messenger by clicking on the play button. All this did not happen, I repeat, until the spring of this year. And it is unclear what could be causing this. I don't have the option to turn off the Proximity Sensor in the settings. I used the Android Proximity Sensor Reset/Override app, but it didn't help either. During the test, the display is green all the time, although it should switch to red when the sensor is working properly. And now, probably the best solution for me is to turn off this sensor altogether. Only I do not know how to do it, as I have already written above.
Default Google dialer and Messaging is absolutely horrible. The messaging app doesn't even tell which SIM you got the message on. Not expected from Google!

Yeah Google really needs to add features and fixes to the default google dialer which is now on most android phones by default.
Wtf it does tell which sim recieves which msgs. I don't know what you are talking about. Google message is very good. It synchronises pretty greatly
