Proximity sensor rubber pad gasket replacement
#4
(12-12-2020, 08:50 AM)puffchumpy Wrote: My braveheart pinephone never had the small gasket that covers the proximity sensor. This causes the proximity sensor to provide bad readings to phosh and blanks the screen. Now after making a phosh based image I edit the udev rules to disable the proximity sensor. I was hoping the replacement mainboard would include the proximity sensor cover, but it did not. Though an uncommon problem I'm not the only one to have this issue based on the various messages on the forum.

I tried the fix shown by RWXYZ, but I'm having trouble getting the tiny pieces aligned correctly. See https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...=proximity

Does anyone have a 3D printable fix for the proximity and light sensor gasket? I might be able to get a friend to print it some versions.

Any other thoughts on potential fixes? I'm missing the part so don't know exactly what is needed.

Thanks
I just had my phones in pieces and took some very amateur photos of mine in the jaws of my micrometer, yell if you really are clutching at straws and can cope with awful pics!

Actually considering I let the magic smoke out of 1 of my USB daughter boards could loan you 1 for a couple of weeks if you are in the UK? (Actually the antenna male came off the board with the cable when trying to unplug the antenna cable :-(  )
