Xperia Tipo Dual Proximity Sensor not working (Not Detected)??

Hello guys, I have the Xperia tipo dual. and I have a problem, my proximity sensor is not working or maybe it doesn't exist, some sites says it has but my phone on the *#*#7378423#*#* (This menu or something similar) Proximity sensor says "Not Detected" , Does it have or not? Because if it doesn't I must get a new phone :smileysad:, always in my calls I press buttons, mute the call, and everything, sometimes hang it up, because the screen doesn't go off.

Please help me up 😕

I tried 2 dialer applications but when you call the default calling app is going on . I've downloaded Proximity Sensor Finder app and my sensor works great, but on the call it doesn't , maybe it's a setting?

if it was a setting then doing a settings reset or factory reset should fix it.

Did you fix the phone? I have the same issue, I'm just curious if it's anything I could try before sending it to the repair center.

I installed Proximity Sensorr off lite from Google play and solve the problem, the sensor is working OK when I'm calling... but I don't think that the behaviour of the phone is normal. By the way, my headset sensor is also broken (indicating that my headset is plugged in, even if it's not). Maybe the two issues are related in my case...

Hi Guys, I am facing same issue with my SOny TIpo dual sim pohne. I followed the step to verify Proximity sensor. It shows as Detected. But still facing the issue. Any suggesstion,

I suggest you use one of the Sony utilities to reload the software on your
phone. If it still does not work after the reload, then you have a broken
phone.

Be aware that reloading the phone erases everything on the phone ... music, any
new apps, reformats the internal SD card. It did not affect the external SD
card.

 

The sensor on my phone worked perfectly out of the box  and I did not have to
set anything.

 

Hope this helps.
