How to Calibrate the Proximity Sensor

Hello, everyone:

I have a Redmi Note 14 5G, and I'd like to know how to calibrate the proximity sensor, since it tends to malfunction: when I end a call, the screen doesn't turn back on—it stays off.

The thing is, I’ve watched videos on how to access the test menu, and when I select the “Proximity sensor test” option, it only tells me whether it’s working or not. In that section, it does seem to work, since the reading goes from 5 to 0 when I tap the sensor. But then, during calls, the screen still doesn’t turn back on after I end the call.

And if I tap the three dots in the upper right corner, the option to calibrate the proximity sensor doesn’t appear in the menu that pops up, unlike what I’ve seen in the videos.

Any solutions?

Hello, everyone:

Until now, I've been using a 4-digit PIN to lock apps. But I've discovered that in the App Lock settings (gear icon in the top right > Unlock Method > Password Type), the 4-digit PIN option is no longer there. Now, only “Privacy Protection Password” and “Screen Lock” appear as methods for locking apps.

Is this a glitch on my device, or has Xiaomi removed it?
