Hi everyone,

I am on nexus 4 mako device with latest Sailfish OS. After my screen got replaced, my proximity sensor is blocked(maybe it has something in front of it, like its already covered).

So, if I make a call, my screen goes dark and I can't do anything. I want to disable this feature where the screen goes dark after the call(which is because of the proximity sensor).

Thank you.

You have to enable developer mode: Settings -> Developer mode -> enable developer mode. When you enable developer mode you will get access to terminal.
