solved a proximity sensor issue.

So figured out why my pocket mode, and the proximity sensor kept freezing. Well it wasn't the phone at all. It was the full body case I had on it. Which never affected any other phone I've used. But this proximity sensor is I tiny little pin hole way at the top on the right side of the speaker. And the case barely covered it. But once I downloaded sensor toolbox and figured out where the sensor was, I was able to use a nail file and file down that part of the case so it didn't interfere. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Thanks for the tip! If that case was designed specifically for the phone, then I'd send feedback to the case maker.

Good job troubleshooting this , yeah some cases and screen protector can cause issues.

Thanks. It was driving me absolutely nuts. Because in the right light you can see the hole under the glass where the sensor is. Well they did a pretty damn good job of hiding this one. It's almost on the top of the phone lol
