NON-rooted Kyocera Duraforce Pro II. Proximity sensor was allowing the screen to flash on and off during phone calls even though it was right up against my head. Called AT&T and they couldn't even troubleshoot it; they just wanted to send a replacement. Long story short, this app fixed the problem lickety-split. I WILL say, however, that the instructions could be a little more obvious; but, if you take your time to read and comprehend what it wants you to do, it'll work first time. I think that falls onto the shoulders of the UI designer, not the developer. A little hand-holding wouldn't hurt :)

Every time I made an outgoing call the screen would go black and I would have to press the power key to turn it back on. Super annoying! After going through every setting in countless Google searches I came up on this app and did the reset and test and it really worked. I couldn't believe it rarely does an app actually do what it says. Thank you so much

I'm running Pixel 2 XL with Android 9 Updated mid September. Only recently have I noticed the occasional "Screen goes black during calls" problem that was supposedly fixed with the Android 9 release (that's when mine started). With Sensor Lab installed, I'd noticed that the light and proximity sensors were not working at all. Installed and ran this App and it fixed immediately with the quick run and reboot :-) Thank you, Mobile Direction! Works perfectly!
