Is it black when you hold it to your face or if you answer the call when the phone is for example flat on a desk 
Is the proximity sensor partially or completely covered ?
Looking at the phone with the screen in front of you the sensor is top left of the Sony logo.....
If you type in *#*#7378423#*#* this will take you into the Service menu......press Service Tests & scroll down to Proximity Switch, press this then you can test if it is working & let us know :smileysmileythumbsup:
As if you are typing a phone number.........
