Are you sure you completely covered it during the process?Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service tests,proximity sensor.Move your phone all over and cover the sensor.

thanks, yeah - covered everything.

and in the service menu - service tests- there is no "prosimity sensor", but only "proximity swith" and it indicates "off" when i press it

Sorry,it is proximity switch.It says off even if you cover it?Well,I suggest repairing the phone software.

Oh,
Actually it works better in service test. Could it be some call settings?
I'll try repairing
