Greetings!
I have three Nexus 4s all having the same problem: The screen turns off when the phone rings and I have to press the power button to turn it on so I can press the button to pick up the phone.
I'm new to Rooting and customizing. My stock 4.2 build had the problem of the screen going black when I tried to calling or receiving a call. It went black during Skype and Viber calls too. I took off the screen protector and it's still happening.
I then rooted it, it still happened. I installed CyanogenMod, it still happened. Then I learned it had something to do with the proximity sensor. I then tried to load franco kernel on it and I found out that you needed a JSS ROM, so I now loaded Paranoid Android onto the phone. Then GAPPS and the Franco Kernel.
Device: Nexus 4
ROM name: Pandroid Android
Build: pa_mako-4.3-BETA4-20140513
Kernel: franco.Kernel-nightly-r207
It's suppose to be like this. The screen will go off so you won't press anything on the screen with your ear. And you're right, it's not a bug, just the proximity sensor working.
See if there's an option in call settings to not use/turn off proximity sensor during calls, some roms have this option. I think you can also do it with and app or xposed module.

Yes, but it's malfunctioning like it is for a lot of other users. The solutions I've found are mostly for Samsung S2 & S3 phones.
I've checked my phone app, it doesn't have the turn phone off setting.
Ex. My most annoying problem is when I want to check messages, the volume is too low and the screen stays black persistently despite repeat pressing of the power button.
When I want to put on speakerphone, how do I keep it on? The phone keeps turning the screen off.
Skype gives a lot of problems, but that could be because the program is buggy.
You mean the screen go off but doesn't turn on after you end the call? I had this problem on stock, but couldn't find a solution. Even on custom roms it happened sometimes for me (CM and old Slim builds), but don't happen anymore with recent SlimRom builds.

Yep, that's whats happening.
I'm putting SlimRom down on my shortlist.

I have tried multiple Android builds but all of them give the same problem.
Everything in Android works great except when receiving a call or calling.
The call is fine, but all buttons and the screen are unresponsive during the call and some time afterwards.
After a while everything is fine again without a reboot.
Sometimes adding a power cord and removing it gives back control as if it resets something.
Anyone experience similar issues and found a cure?
It's the light sensor, I've read that it can be disabled but I don't know how, just put yer phone under a very bright light source and u will be back up and running

Hi everyone,
I've got a used LG G2 with a broken display that I just replaced. Everything works with CyanogenMod 11 20140708-snapshot-m8-d802 (4.4.4), except for the dialer which acts up weird.
When I place or receive a call, the display turns black, and it doesn't come on again when I remove it from the face - seems like the light detector isn't working. I can turn on the diplay by using the power button though. Here another problem araises; I can't use any of the button on the dialer screen. I can't hang up, I can't enable the speakphone or show the numberpad. I haven't done any modding expect for installing a new rom and wiping the previous users' data.
Any ideas?

Sorry. I have the exact same problem. Began on PA 4.4.4+ and now back to stock and still does not work. Have you figured it out? Seems like a problem with the proximity sensor and no way to turn it off. Frustrating.
Sorry to hear that I ended up fixing it by hard resetting my phone with the software provieded by LG. I haven't installed a new custom rom since - instead I use the LG rom and customize it with the Xposed framework and the G2 Settings module. It works great, except for some random update notifications from the LG app store from time to time.
Not really a the solution that I has looking for, but now I can use the phone as it was intended. Please keep me updated if you come about some other workaround.
I have a problem with the dialer. This was my first time flashing a ROM and everything has worked smoothly, except this.
I can initiate a call fine. But once the call is going, the screen goes black and I can't do anything with the dialer. I have to place the phone flat on a bench to even be able to get a screen to come up after mashing buttons. It stays black otherwise, so it isn't using the proximity sensor as it should. In fact I also can't find anything in the ROM settings about using the proximity sensor.
Then even when I have the screen lit up, I can't input further numbers, hang up, anything - none of the soft buttons respond in any way.
Who'd think you use a phone for making phone calls? But I do need to sometimes, so this is pretty annoying.
The install was on a clean phone, with cache and Dalvik wiped too, with guidance from someone who flashes ROMs regularly.
I installed the stock GApps package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
But even if I install 3rd party diallers, they still seem to call up the dialer from the ROM.
Thanks.

Problem resolved: I clean installed C-ROM instead of Cyanogen Mod and everything is now working fine.
Something is pretty messed up in the current version of CM for the Note 3.
Hello,
I'm writing you this thread to expose my issue with my Samsung I 9505.
I'm using the new CM12 5.0 and my kernel is the Alucard. I changed the kernel 2 weeks ago.
The rom goes perfectly, except that I have 2 issues, 1 new and 1 older that I can't fix.
1: with the new CM12 rom, when the phone is not awake, sometimes the colour of the screen goes green. It only vanishs when I adjust the luminosity of the screen, then it's back to normal.
2: for almost 6 months, I have an issue when someone phones me. At the end when I want to hang out, the screen doesn't wake up, so, I can't hang out by myself. Moreover, after a call, the phone doesn't switch on. I have to push the power button, I hear a little noise of unlocking, and then when I push once again the button, the screen light up.
I hope you'll be able to resolve my issue
Hi guys
I am sure I am not the only one. I am having some big problem with marshmallow. I have tried both the latest Ressurect Remix and Synergy Android 6.0. Both have a problem with making a call and answering a call. When I try to make a call the screen turn black and phone no longer responsive to all the hardware buttons. I can hear the other person talking and they can hear me. But I can't end the call because all I get is a black screen. I did some research on line and there's no resource how to fix it. All I found was nexus 5 has the same problem with some ROM. As far as i337m goes I found nothing. My phone works properly with golden eye. Now I am using KangaPop but the phone still have this problem but better becuz I can get to the screen if I keep pressing the home or the power button. It seems like the proximity sensor is screwed. I am not sure if it is because all the three roms i tried is for i9505 not i377m
I tried the Optimized CM13 by jdc team. But still the same thing. It also happen with iBASTiD GPE. Argh...
Maybe something wrong with the kernel?
Hope someone has a fix?
Thanks

To Err is human. No wonder tube amp sounds better.
Sound like the smart stay feature (proximity sensor) is not working properly if it's not coming back up. Please contact the ROM developer of the specific ones you are having trouble with.
Thanks for the advice. I better contact the developer
