FP2 proximity sensor not reliably turning off screen during calls - See first Post for Workarounds

Is there a way to disable the proximity sensor, as if it doesn’t exist in he phone?

Not by software - but there is a diy workaround that essentially turns off the PI sensor:

FP2 Screen can't be reactivated during/after calls - See first post for Workarounds

Hi, I have the same issue with the proximity sensor. I’ve found a workaround on the net (FP2 does not seem to be the only one with proximity sensor trouble). I pushed a small piece of aluminium foil on the sensor (see picture below). It makes the sensor feel that there is always light and the screen never turns off. I will see with time if the workaround is not worst than the problem: the screen is on during calls so the cheek can interact with the screen. [image]
