[BUG] [5.0.0.62] [XA2] Black screen when calling (phone or internet calls)

Hi!
Do other people share the same issue of screen becoming black and unresponsive when callling someone?
It happens to me since 5.0 on XA2 with phoncalls but also when i start a telegram call.

No. Mine is just working fine (XA2/5.0.0.62 Tampella)

I saw this report and though “never saw that”, but just now I had something like it happen to me too!

  1. There was an incoming call that I picked up
  2. The screen went black. I though I had lost the call, so…
  3. …I “clicked” the power button to wake the phone up and call back
  4. Screen flashed the call UI for a very brief moment…
  5. …then went black again before I could interact with it.
  6. I repeated the Power button → Flash → Black sequence a couple of times…
  7. …then realized that the call was ongoing, so I spoke to the caller.
  8. This worked well (with phone to ear)…
  9. …and when we were done after a few minutes, I could hang up using the UI.

Does something go wrong with the proximity sensor? The CSD test passed, but during the first couple of cover/uncover cycles I got the impression that the test showed the opposite state. Maybe this was just a delayed reaction and I couldn’t reproduce on a second run.

[Xperia XA2, 4.6.0.15, so same phone, different OS release compared to OP]

I have the same problem (on 10ii), but I looked into the CSD-tool. As expected the proximity-sensor seems to be broken.

Thank you for your replies!
I guess i’ll look into proximity censor.

Sensor!

And yes, I can confirm this behavior. Annoying.
