Fitting advice

Phone parts are delicate. We recommend fitting by a qualified repair technician.

Test the part before final installation, before any adhesive or seal is applied. Parts with adhesive applied can’t be returned for change of mind.

Please contact us before sending anything back. Return postage is the buyer’s responsibility unless the item is faulty. For faulty or incorrectly described items, we cover return postage in full. Approved refunds go to the payment method you used within 10 business days. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Product Description

✦ For Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Proximity / Ambient Light Sensor Flex

The proximity and ambient light sensor tells a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 when it is held to your ear and how bright the room is. If the screen stays on during calls or the brightness never adjusts, this replacement sensor flex is the part to check.

Flex cables tear easily, so lift and handle it gently. Because the Note 8 must be opened to reach the sensor, run a test call and check auto-brightness before the back goes on. Mind the small connector when lifting the flex, and keep the Note 8 screen and front glass supported while you work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Note 8 proximity sensor flex do?

It is the proximity / ambient light sensor flex for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which the phone uses to detect your face on a call and sense surrounding light.

My Note 8 screen stays lit against my ear. Is this the fix?

That is a typical symptom of a faulty proximity sensor, so it may be. Check the screen protector on your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is not covering the sensor before you open the phone.

Is this flex also for the Note 9?

No. This flex is for the Note 8, and the Note 9 has its own proximity / ambient light sensor flex listing, so use the one that matches your handset.

Is it easy to damage on the Note 8?

Yes, flex cables in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tear easily. Release connectors carefully and avoid bending the flex sharply.

How do I check my model is a Note 8?

On the Note 8 open Settings › About phone and read the model name shown.
