Does your phone has a protective case and/or film and/or glass ?

Settings > about phone > diagnostics > test > test the proximity sensor

Tried what you said all the tests past.There is no protective covers/films etc. Other than the call issue phone is working completly fine

I have to really press on the proximity sensor to stop the vibrating in the test

I have the same problem when making or receiving calls. This started happening when I updated to latest software version. I have a Xperia Z3. I can't enter any dtmf tones when I call a service number. This is a software bug. When are Sony going to fix it?

This also happened around the same time ive found a short term fix especially when you need to use the dial pad. When you first make a call press where the proximity sensor is and the light stays on not ideal also changed sleep mode to 30mins when i make calls
