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 Thinking_Face

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:
