[Q] Screen goes black during calls

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!

[Q] Proximity sensor issue???

Wondering if someone (hopefully more than one) can check something to see if this is an issue with my particular phone or something related to the software/hardware. It seems that when a call is placed or received, the proximity sensor goes to "far" and won't reset until it is uncovered and then re-covered. I have searched through the Verizon HTC One forums and have not found anything related to this issue.
If the proximity sensor is covered, and I make a call (via bluetooth headset (double click for last dialed)) or receive a call, the proximity sensor goes to the uncovered state. It then stays in that state until I uncover and then re-cover it. How I checked this was using Elixir 2 and checking the sensor data. I also set up variables in Tasker and Automagic.
So, this was my test procedure:
I start the sensor data in Elixir 2 for the proximity sensor. I cover the sensor with my finger (it now shows "near"). I use my bluetooth headset to place a call. The screen comes on with the current call. I back out of the current screen (the phone screen) and get back to Elixir 2 sensor data. The sensor now shows "far". From that point on, until I uncover the proximity sensor and then cover it, it shows far. I set up variables in Tasker and Automagic that show the same results.
I am running the stock debloated ROM. Rooted and S-Off.
EDITED:
So, this is the latest for my issue. I went from stock ROM to ViperOne 5.8.0. I am still getting the same results. So, I think I have eliminated the software side of it. Would that be right? So, it could be the firmware or the hardware? I'm still wondering if it's my phone only or if it is an issue with the HTC One in general. Is there anyone that can check this? Or give me another route to take?
I'm on ViperOne 5.8.0
Android 4.4.2
Senses 5.5
Any other info you might need, please just ask.

Some thing like that happened to me and i posted a thread and no answers.
My problem is that when the phone is in my pocket only one speaker is ringing(the lower one) and when on the desk face up both of the speakers are ringing.I noticed this affects only the call option(if i get a sms/notication and it's in my pocket/desk both of the speakers work).i've made all off the tests i can find am the problem seems to be from software.When i cover with my finger the sensor and some ones call s me only the bootom speker is ringing,when removing my finger from the sensor and receving cal SURPRISE both of the are ringing.
I've change the software ARHD 53 with ELEMENTALX Kernel.

Well, seems to be the same here. I have this posted under the Verizon HTC One > One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting as well as here and at the Android forums. It seems that either no one else is having this issue, no on cares or no one can run this test with free programs. I dunno. The problems I have is that I use by bluetooth headset most of the time. I am a blue collar worker and try not to pull my phone out of my pocket when my hands get filthy. But, when I take or make a call using the headset, the display kicks on and then stays on because I can't use the proximity sensor to turn the screen back off. Guess I'll have to try other routes. This sucks. LOL
I haven't heard of the other issue you are referring to. I can tell you that I have not had that issue with my One. Doesn't mean that it's not a problem. Have you checked the Sounds settings for pocket mode and quiet ring on pickup? If so, I think I would try to either get with Verizon about it or maybe even HTC. It definitely sounds like it could be a phone issue. But I'm kind of new to all of this.

Same problem here, when i'm in a call the screen go on, very annoying.
Now i'm trying this app "rezound prox sensor calibrator"

I've tried every possible solution including Pocked mode& Quiet ring.I still think this is a soft bug till further notice.
Lets hope we get a answer soon.Btw same here with the headset,I'm using a hands free and when i answer/call some one i must manually turn off the screen or its turn of by itself after 1-2 min i think.

It's not a calibration issue. When the phone rings or you make a call via a headset and the proximity sensor is covered (ie. in your pocket or screen face down), the display kicks on and the prox sensor seems to default to "far" or "uncovered" (whatever term you like). It will remain at that value until you ACTUALLY uncover the sensor and then cover it back again.

The problem I have is that while the display is ON and sitting in my pocket, I have a chance of butt dialing someone or starting programs that drain the battery in addition to the dsplay being on. Not to mention, with the display on in my pocket, the heat builds up in the phone. I guess I have a $700 butt warmer? LOL

[Q] Galaxy S problems:(

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.

Hello Replaced the part, tested, everything working beautifully Sweet I love this phone :cyclops:

Proximity sensor doesn't work in call. Autobrightness sensor also glitch.

Currently using PixelExperience Plus ROM. Was using HavocOS before this. There were similar issues in both the roms.. The proximity sensor just won't work during calls. Phone needs a restart to fix this.. goes back to problematic in a short while..
The autobrightness sensor issue is less frustrating.. waking up the device the brightness gets stuck at about 50%. The slider does nothing.. locking the screen and waking up again solves it. Minor issue..
But.. does anyone have a fix?

Same problem here with latest oficial rom. Randomly screen goes black in a call although the phone is on a table.

Same problem here

Why do Xiaomi seem to have such a problem with proximity sensors?
The one on my Note 7 doesn't work properly and a google search reveals complaints about sensors on many models.
It's not as if they are rocket science any more.

Could this also be the reason when I receive a call the phone screen on some occasions didn't even light up and I have to double tap to see who's calling. I really hope it's something they can fix.

Did anyone get a fix? I still have this goddamn problem! Even with the latest evolution x rom or pixel experience rom (tried the latest version released like days back for both roms). This problem started right after I unlocked my bootloader and flashed a custom ROM and the problem is present in EVERY custom rom that I've tried. Please help me out with a fix as this is really annoying and the phone is practically useless. As soon as I make a call or get a call my display simply shuts down and doesn't switch on until 30 secs after the call ends. So my display is basically off for easy 2-3 minutes. Can't use my phone then. This sucks when I've dialled a wrong number or want to cut the call myself because I can't do any of that!

Also I used a sensor testing app to check if the proximity sensor is working, and turns out it's working completely alright! Responds properly to relevant distance input. And I tested multiple times just to make sure
