Since getting the lollipop update, I have noticed that the screen turns on when while I am holding it to my face during a call. It seems to be more sensitive, turns on too easily. Also related I think, is that because the display turns on, my fingers seem to hit the 'hang up' button now unintentionally. So I am talking, screen turns on, finger on side of case maybe barely touches screen... call hangs up.
Anyone else seeing this, any way to adjust this so it stays off until I remove it completely away from my face?

I got a question. When you're talking on the phone, does your screen goes off in 10 seconds, then 2 seconds later, the screen turns back on, then turns off in 10 seconds, and keeps going..
Cuz while I was talking on the phone using bluetooth, I just happen to noticed this and even using my finger to hide the proximity sensor, it does the same thing.
[EDIT] When I'm on a call and then hit the home button to get to the main screen (still on call), then it turns off like normal and it won't turn itself on. But for some reason, in the "Call Window" it just repeatedly goes off and on.. Hmmm
Problem 2: When I'm on a call, and have my phone in my pocket, when someone phones me, my leg would help me 'accept' the call. I did a test. When I'm on a call and block the proximity sensor, the screen locks up (which is fine) but when someone phones in (call waiting), the screen is accessible again even though the proximity server is still covered. This makes it so that it would still accidently accept the call when someone phones in while still in pocket.
Can anyone try it and see if it does it on your phone?
Yes mine does that. It sucks because frequently, I will hit the hang up button with my cheek. Annoying.
I hope they fix this asap...
its very annoying, mine does the same thing
Sometimes I need to get to the keyboard but the screen goes dark during calls sometimes. I dont know why it does that or what i am doing to cause this. It doesnt happen every time. Anyone know or can help?

The proximity sensor is supposed to blank the screen during a call. Try making a call with your phone on the table. Put your finger along the top of the front of the phone (where the speaker grill-area is located). Your screen should blank. When you take your finger away, it should wake up. If it doesn't wake up, try pressing the Talk/Send hardware button to wake up the phone.
I have the Verizon G2 and just wondering if anyone else notices the incoming call screen changes. Sometimes I have the screen where the answer/decline buttons are circles and require a slide but other times I have an answer screen with big squares for answer/decline and require a press.
I can not figure out the reasoning why this screen changes formats. I just had 2 calls from the same person and each call was different.
When I'm in a call and get a 2nd call, it normally the big squares. What sucks is that when talking and the phone is on my cheek, the 2nd call comes in, turns on the display and with the huge buttons, I've answered and declined a few calls with my cheek.
I also notice with the latest update that the screen is turning on more often and my face starts hitting buttons. Mostly the clock from the statusbar notification shade, go into time settings and messes up my time. Usually I find my clock in 24hr mode. Today it was 2hours off.
I'm not sure if notifications coming in while on a call is turning the screen on or if the sensor is getting whacky. Its getting to the point where it is becoming annoying so I'm posting about it.
Anyone else notice the dual answer screen formats and having issues with being on calls and the screen turning on? I've been having to hit the power button to force the screen from coming on and launching stuff or toggling my notification stuff.

I have the exact same problem. I actually factory reset the phone to no avail. It's weird absolutely. But I've learned to live with it by not pressing the whole phone on my cheek, instead it's held at a slight angle, just the top speaker on my ear and the rest away from my face. The phone gets less dirty and there's no chance I'll press some things with my face.
I've found that if you manually turn the phone off via power button, it'll stay off. The problem is then ending the call since pulling it away won't turn on the screen.
However I am still curious about the Incoming Call screen theme. Sometimes it uses the small Circles that you click and drag while other calls use the big square button theme. It flip flops randomly.
I can't remember if the Incoming call screen would flip flop before but the screen on/off bug was introduced in 4.4.2
Hello everyone, first of all I did a search on this topic, but either I am too stupid to do a proper search or there hasn't been any problem like mine yet.
I also did a little video, check it out.

Whenever I get a call or make a call myself (and the moment I press the dial button) the screen blacks out. This may be a solid and reasonable feature when holding
your phone to your ear to not accidently start any other app with it. The problem is that the display stays dark no matter if I put it to my ear or not. It is like the sensor is registering some
sort of object in front of it and therefore gets into "ear on the phone-display shutdown mode". First I thought the sensor was messed up, but then it still seems to differentiate between
daylight and nighttime, because the screen gets darker when covering the sensor with my finger and lights up when I remove it from that spot.
______________________
When accidently having called someone and I want to stop the call, the display had turned black of course, so no way to shut down the call. So I start pressing buttons, like the middle menue button,
and I get to the desktop screen. Still need to shut down the call, so I want to go to the infopanel (upper slide down menue) and the moment I start moving my finger down, to enter the call panel, it immediatly gets dark again.
But there are times when I can access the upper infopanel (without the screen turning black) and see my call being there, but the instant I press on the entry the screen turns black.
Only solution is to quickly remove the battery to shut down that call.

I have put on a display protector, but it doesn't cover any sensors really.
The problem started with installing CyanogenMod11 and persisted with the latest CyanogenMod12.
Any idea what I can do?

Hello everyone, I have been searching constantly for any information on a problem that suddenly started today with my galaxy s4, and this is going to sound very odd for sure. For no apparent reason, i pulled the phone out of my pocket, hit the power button, and everything that is supposed to be white is pink. The touch screen will work for a split second, just long enough to get the phone unlocked, and then is all together unresponsive. On the home screen, once again, everything that is supposed to be white, (text, notification icons, time, ect) is bright pink. All the buttons are responsive, but the touchscreen does nothing. Upon hitting the power button to turn the screen off, you can see the pink disappear and the screen change back to normal for just a moment before it goes off, same when it powers on, which is why i can manage to get the phone unlocked. Anyone hear of anything like this?
You have either a loose connector or some other hardware failure.
