proximity sensor issue c6833 4.4.4 HELP!

Im on z ultra c6833 with the latest version 4.4.4 updated 2 days ago with build number 14.4.A.0.108.
i found out that my proximity sensor does not functioning. The screen will not dim if i answered a call near to my ear. 

I try to do this after read on other threads:
1. Go to your Dialer, and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the Service Menu.
2. Go to Calibrations 
3. Go to Proximity Sensor
4. Choose "Calibration" and then "Start".

but in my case, i dont have the calibration button. 

someone please help me? is it the software or hardware issues on my z ultra. ? is there fix to my issue?

Samuel, PC Companion, I have the latest version, does NOT have the option you say. and on 4.4.4 Calibration has been removed from the service menu.

So Sony has stuffed and I have a very annoying problem on my phone.

I make a call ... the screen turns off after dialling and does not come on until after the call has ended.

I can't end the call myself and I can't use the dialler for business answer systems.

Quite frankly, i have purchased a **bleep** useless phone. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. During a phone call the screen goes black. I can't use the call options or use the dial numbers to select options.

This issue started once I upgraded my phone to 4.4.4 not only is the proximity stopped working but all sensors like phone tilt and everything stops.
U can check this with cpuz utilty once the problem starts under sensors tab it will display nothing.
