              Try wiping cache partition (google it)
              From my experience it can fix weird bugs (not this one particularly) - worth a shot

                hi. i have a mi 9 se an i have this same issue.
                i have the auto brightness turned on and the proximity sensor doesn't work.
                i don't have the "pocket option" but i have something called "rise to wake" witch i activate and it didn't work as well.
                if i reboot my phone it works on the first call but on the second call stops working again.
                it's very annoying because with the screen on when i answer a call my ear keeps touching the phone screen and activates and deactivates options that like mobile data and other things. i dont think its normal in 2020 have to deal with this kind of issues.

                Also have other problems.
                - ex: sound doesn't work good when its to low
                - no notification light and AOD is not a solution because it can shows ridiculous animations but isn't able to show a simple dot
                - the phone lags a bit performing simple operations (not games).

                bought it in december 2019 but wouldn't do it again.

                      Why mi9se cannot block unwanted sms, or any sms.
                      It is annoying 😠 for me. Sound is too low when using ear phone.

                        I have been using the phone since May-2019 and it was this or google pixel 3a. I am on global rom android 10/miui11 and waiting for 12 this summer.
                        It's the perfect size for me (it's not bigger than my last phone mi5s). For me the battery is just ok, easily last more than 1 day with more than 5h sot 4g and wireless allways on. I can go 2 days with battery saver on but don't bother. It has quick charger and does not require more than 40 minutes for 1 day use.
                        The phone is smooth, nice display and good camera for me. I use the slow mo camera and it's ok. Never had a real problem with it, had a battery issue at first with miui11 on android 9 but resolved it going through app permisions.
                        Cons:
                        Fingerprint scanner is not dependable (if you have dry skin mostly)
                        Proximity sensor not that good but I am used to manually click lock button after responding to a phone call.
                        Automatic brightness works 85-90 % of the time as intended.
                        No notification led but I use screen allways on and an amazfit bip watch that shows notifications so for me this is not a problem.

                        Best phone at this form size and price in my opinion. Premium design and built at a fair price. Sad that xiaomi are not building anything at les than 6 inches.

                                    I have the latest software and have no issues. They corrected the auto brightness which was very low in dark areas, so i cant complain about this phone. Excellent form factor.
