## Description

## Proximity Sensor Reset/Fix Chrome Extension

The Proximity Sensor Reset/Fix extension offers a straightforward solution for Android users experiencing problems with their device's proximity sensor, such as black screens during calls or sensor-related app issues. Tailored for rooted devices, this tool recalibrates the sensor configuration in just a few simple steps, helping to resolve software-related sensor malfunctions.

With the integration of the ProxLight Overrider Service, users now benefit from an override feature that forces the use of the proximity sensor. Additionally, it offers a workaround that repurposes the light sensor to function as a proximity sensor in cases where hardware issues are present. Note that this extension addresses software calibration and cannot fix hardware problems, which may require professional repair. Share your experience to help others facing similar sensor challenges!

## Review summary

The app is widely praised for quickly fixing proximity sensor issues on a range of devices without root, but reliability varies. It often helps for software-related sensor problems, yet some users report it stops working or interferes with rotation, and ads or intrusive content are recurring complaints. Not a solution for hardware faults.

### Pros

- Fixes proximity sensor issues and prevents unintended screen wake/sleep.
- Works on multiple devices without root.
- Often provides quick, noticeable improvements.
- Overall positive sentiment in reviews (thanks to the developer, 'best app' many times).
- Helpful when the problem is software-related rather than hardware damage.

### Cons

- Results can be inconsistent; sometimes the problem returns or the app doesn't work for some users.
- Can interfere with other phone settings (such as screen rotation) and cause unwanted behavior.
- Contains ads; users request an ad-free paid version.
- Cannot fix hardware-related proximity sensor problems.
- Some reviews mention intrusive ad content or nuisance behavior (e.g., games you can't exit).
