Can I Turn Off Proximity Sensor for my A12? When I'm on a call, and need to hit the keypad it's dark, so I have to turn it on again, sometimes it quickly cuts off again.

Hello, Welcome to the Community. We understand it can be frustrating to have to turn the screen on again while on a call. However, this is part of the operating system and cannot be turned off. This prevents unintended interactions during a phone call and conserves battery power.

This article provides more information on the proximity sensor, as well as steps to turn on double-tap to wake to make turning the phone easier. https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/support/mobile-devices/the-proximity-sensor-is-not-working-properly...
