i'm not going to ask for info on rom or kernel as i'm quite sure it's a hw problem

Its not related by the rom...I installed lot of diferrent roms and nothing happened,actually cannot hear people while calling, they can hear me...when i put on spikerphone everything is ok.
I wish we could replace your faulty ear-speaker with words but we cant "yet?"
Faulty hardware as already Rudjgaard said.

Hello there xda!
I have had this problem with my galaxy S for quite some time now but since I still haven't found a solution I turn to you!
Here´s the thing, whenever I make or receive a call on my phone the screen blacks out. It stays black until I yank out the battery.
Sometimes the screen comes back when the call ends but this is more the exception rather than the rule.
If I got my headphones/headset in, the screen does not go black, so I try to always have them plugged in.
My thoughts are that something is wrong with the proximitysensor in the phone and is blacking out the screen, I got an app that show all sensors and the values didn't change when I covered the sensor.
I have rooted my phone several times with different roms so when this problem occured I tried all kinds of different roms to see if it would fix the problem.
No stock roms or other roms have worked so I assume its a hardware fail but for whatever reason I cant help but think that its more likely to be a software issue.
I am currently running darkys 10.2.2 rom.
If you got any questions that could help you come up with an answer, don't hesitate to ask
EDIT, Solution!
For anyone with the same problem, I FIXED IT!
I ordered a new earpiece on the internetz, installed it and now the phone works perfectly!!
The earpiece actually has both the headphone jack and the proximity sensor and the light sensor on it, so replacing the earpiece replaces all of those.
Hope this helps someone!
Hey dude, i dont know how you can fix the proxmity sensor if it is broken,
however, i have heard of other people with the same problem.
And they solved it with an app called ProximityScreenOff wich is downloadable form market.
atleast you wont have to yank out your battery everytime you get an call!
Hope this helps!

Tried some different settings but couldnt get it to work.. Screen still shut off during calls
Thanks for the try though! Might have to order a new proximity sensor and see if it fixes it

LOL, i was just ABOUT to post this EXACT same solution then read your post. I had the same problem and other problems that wererelated to the network, dropped calls, black screen after calls begins etc. and installing an earpiece from an T959's took care EVERYTHING. I'm not sure how this earpiece fixed the network problem. If somebody knows and would like to enlighten me, that's be great!
Hi!
My GNote hangs up/becomes non-responsive when I receive or make a call, everything else is just fine, but it can't be used as a phone now.
I have tried many roms but the problem persists, according to my observation and research the proximity sensor is the culprit here, and it is a hardware problem, which can't be fixed by software, I suppose. But there might be a way to disable the sensor at all, in which way screen won't turn off while making a call, but who cares if I can make a call. I found a couple of threads describing the same problem but with no solution.
Is there a way to do the trick, if not, can you please guide me write my own kernel to disable the sensor, I am not an Android developer but I do have a Master's Degree in Computer Science so I am pretty much confident that I can do it myself if given some pointers.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Have a good day, Regards.
have you tried disabling the screen off during calls?

Thank you sooo much, this did the trick..... Now I am wondering why I didn't think of that earlier.....
BTW is there any other way I could get rid of this problem completely, now my screen won't turn off during phone calls, causing unwanted operations.....
Thank you so much.....
if you have tried many roms then may be a issue with the sensor.. try consulting a Samsung service personnel
galaxy note N7000 freeze while during call 1000% solved
you just clean the sensor your prob will be solve 1000%
So i going to go straight to the point.For a couple of days i noticed that when somebody calls me and the phone is in my pocket or with the face down only the lower speaker is working(ringing) and when is on the table/birou face up the both speakers are ringing.So i tested all the ways and i noticed that when i cover with my finger the proxymity/light sensor thats when only one speaker is ringing(the bottom one).I've tested all the sensors and all off them are working flowless.I assume its a bug,I'm on stock android 4.3 cid tmob-101.
Please help me cose im getting very angry when i down hear a call.
PS:even the update to 4.4.2 is not showing up already and that is a problem.
UPDATE
I've installed ARHD 62 with bulletprof lastet kernel 14.1 and the problem is still there.Already done the test and onec again the sensors are working flowlessly

i think you need to re-flash your ROM,
if not, it was be a Hardware issue

Thx but I dont realy wanna mess with the original software I like it that way.Any otrher suggestion?
I've got a problem with calls. On stock ROMs and Paranoid Android, with every kerenels.
Sometimes I can't hear the person with who I'm talking but only on "normal mode". When I activate loudspeaker or plug in headphones I can hear without problems but after deactivating or plugging out the problem comes back and I can't hear anything. This occurs not always but very often.
Can someone helps?
I had this issue you may want to check with other people around here who are running cyanogenmod as far as I know mine was spoiled so I had to change it no idea if it was cause by cyanogenmod highly doubt it
I have the same issue! I actually had it when I was running OEM software, before rooting I sent it in to sony with the complaint 3 times. Each time they returned it with simply a software update applied.
I find if you cover and uncover the light sensor a couple of times it tends to fix itself, but its frustrating!
Yes, very frustrating! But this must be a software defect.
Maybe someone could make a fix...
Any help?
I highly doubt that it is a software defect issue but if it is a really software defect issue causing the ear speaker to fail then sony has some explaining to do nevertheless some of them reported the same issue with cyanogenmod 11.0 so honestly I dont know what is causing this but overall it seems like quite a big issue..

did you amplify the speaker or did anything to it, in the past etc ? like fauxsound
if you never did did you remain on stock kernel with cm11 all the way
Yes. I used some mods like pxa, but without any mods and with the problem exists

yeah it is damaged how long did you have your xperia z cause I had mine for 1 year 3 months before it died today it works fine.
huh? so what is causing this? sound-mods or just bad luck? had my xperia z 1 year 4 months and so far its ok... (*touch wood*) will be gutted if it dies...
must be sound mod blow out the speaker o.o no idea but I got mine fully replaced.
I had the same Problem. After installing Sound About from playstore and disabled headphone detection the Problem is gone
haha it isn't the old 'dust in the headphone socket' problem is it?
Hello guys ...sorry if a similar question was already asked.
I have a problem with my phone. When i want to make a phone call the screen goes off. At first I thought that the phone switched itself off, but later I noticed that the credit was gone...:/ I happens even after the factory reset. It also happens with another dialer from google play...however, people can still call me and there is no problem...no problems with sms either.
I have 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Please help
I think that's normal. There's a sensor which causes this.

so its not software problem? is it worth to replace it? how much may it cost?
i also checked another thing...its not only the screen there's no signal and a phone call is not made...:/
Every phone has this sensor. The intention is that you don't touch any button on your screen during the phone call.
You can try to reflash the stock rom.

Lars which sensor did You mean? Proximity sensor? Would that cause the phone to go silent (no dial signal)?

I run the proximity sensor test using *#*#0588#*#* and looks like it's broken...the screen is blue and displays "proximity x 1" covering the sensor has no effect, looks like the sensor is activated all the time...
I noticed some dust, maybe moisture in there so i think it will be a good idea to take the phone apart and clean the sensor...

I feel like a crazy person answering my own posts...
I took it apart, cleaned it, but the problem's still there. I bought a new assembly jack-speaker-proximity sensor on ebay for 7 euro...hope it will work after replacing this part...
The way it's all together explains why there was no dial signal.
When I replace the part i will let You know Thanks for Your help
No problem.
Tell me when you're done.
