Disable Proximity Sensor (Eye Safety)

Technical Support & Q&A

Hi everyone,
is it possible to disable the proximity sensor anyhow?
I would need it just for an important demo because our customized casing is blocking the sensor.
Can you provide me a workaround please?

Would be very important for me.

Hi Kevin,

Please use the tool in the link below to turn off the proximity sensor.

Please fix your code:

And to have to get the ThirdParty libraries from some other place is also really clunky.
