Comments on Proximity Sensor Screen On Off for Android

★★★★☆ Cherie Sanders · May 2, 2025

I started using this app when the last one I had gone defunct, and it does its job pretty well. The one issue I have is that it can be hard using the phone when it's active because it will activate every time I try to check my notification bar or otherwise use the top of my screen. If they add a "delay" feature, with options of hundreds of milliseconds, I will gladly bump this up to 5 stars.

On my phone, the proximity sensor screen off only works when the app in foreground.

★★★★★ yuvan m · Jan 18, 2026

Works... but add this to the notification setting tile or make a home screen button to toggle on the mode

★☆☆☆☆ Aswin P Kumar · Dec 10, 2024

It's not working. I changed my display, so some issue with the proximity sensor (maybe). So tried this app for toggling off proximity sensor completely. But ID didn't work even after giving admin permission. So uninstalled the app

★☆☆☆☆ onawale femi · Nov 24, 2024

This app is absolutely useless. Once installed, I tapped the switch on and my phone's screen went blank till I had pressed my hand on the power button till it rebooted.

★☆☆☆☆ Ansar Abbas · Nov 23, 2025
