You may run the following command under xterminal to test the sensitivity of the proximity sensor (CTRL-C to break) to see if there's any hardware issue:

Code:

while true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state; done

'open' means nothing in front of the sensor, 'close' otherwise.
