For a few months my proximity and light sensors were not working at all.
Last week I loaded Z10STL100-2/10.3.2.2639 and everything was perfect.
Today now the problems are back. It seems that it's a software problem and nothing related on hardware.
It's totally annoying to press the power button everytime a call is connected to avoid to drop it!!!
Please repair this.
Anyone else with this kind of problems?
Regards Johnny

i have the same thing when on a call screen doesnt go dark and your talking and pressing numbers and muting the phone without even knowing
I find I have this problem when I call someone and I put the phone to my ear before their line starts to ring. If I wait until the ring starts and then put the phone to my ear, the proximity sensor seems to work as expected.

Agreed. There is some kind of initial delay. If you pull phone away from head after call starts and then back the screen darkens.

Seems to be just right right now for BlackBerry fix one thing break another

I had this issue because of Reinforced glass covering my sensor.... maybe that is the issue with some of you... never harms to check.
I never had this problem myself other than because of glass.
Z10 STL001
No protection on the screen. And as written above it works after the installation of 10.3.2.2639 (via Blitz-update)
Few days after that it's bricked again.

Count me in on this one as well. Even replaced the sensor with another that I had left over form a dinged screen. Same result. There seems to be a calibration issue. I can see the sensor in BBVE. It gives "PASS" on FAR. But "WAITING" on NEAR. If I put a bright light directly on the sensor and move that away NEAR goes to "PASS" but not if I wave my hand across it like you normally would.
In BBVE it gives only "not available" for both proximity and light sensors.
Let's hope this server/calibration issue whatever it is gets fixed.

Same issues here...I've been hung up on a few times because I've muted the phone with my face.
Can anyone with a passport do this test for me on bbve

I've been having problems with all the sensors on my Passport. Turning off all the Advanced Interactions seems to have fixed the issue for now

I have a same issue also on my pp sensors, both proximity and light sensors is not working, before upgrade its only need to restart and its back to normal, but after the upgrade the sensor is become UNAVAILABLE on BBVE, I already sent a warranty claim to the distributor, but if it is a software issue then it will be nothing to do until it get back again with the same issue on the replacement PP, is it any official announcements from the RIM yet about this?
Just this morning, I accepted a call and I noticed that the sensor problem was fixed after almost two months. Using the app total commander, I noticed that the /dev/sensor folder contains prox and light files and next to them the date is 28 October.
For what it's worth, that day I updated to the newer version of BBM.
Now I'm totally convinced that the problem is s/w related.
Please BlackBerry don't screw this up again.
EDIT: 2 days later, sensors are broken again. Not happy. :(

Alright I'll add my story here too. Passport on 2474 and BBVE says my light sensor is working fine but the proximity sensor gets a pass on near but nothing for far. Why would the light sensor tests all pass but the proximity sensor test fail? I thought that they were the same sensor all along?

Allright, I had the same problem before. But I got it sorted out. I had a Z10 with a brand new screen replacement that gave the problem. Turns out there is a tiny rubber inlay that seperates the light and proximity sensor from each other. That was missing out on my new screen assembly (which comes with the sensors included). I borrowed it from my shattered old screen and the problem is fixed. It now passes both test without any problem.

I've had problems with the proximitysensor and these were caused by the small magnets in a hardcase.
If you black out the screen with the topbutton, does it stay black on a call?
My Z10 screen switched on anyway after i blacked it out with the topbutton.
