Screen unlocks itself during BT call - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Having an annoying problem with my Gnex. When I place a call via Bluetooth in my truck, the screen turns on. It blows past the lock screen and shows the call screen. The proximity sensor is ignored and the screen stays on during the call unless you press the lock button. Terminating the call via BT leaves the phone in an unlocked state. This of course causes all kind of erroneous button presses while the phone is in my pocket.

I was just searching for this exact problem and this is the only thread I have found so far.
Did you find a solution at all?

HELP: How to prevent screen shut off at call connect

When the phone connects with a call, the screen blacks out.
I only want it to black out with the proximity sensor. I have to push the power button to turn on the screen.
Can someone please help me?
I have hard reset my device. nothing installed, running stock ATT rom and the screen still goes off when the call connects, then turns on when the call is ended.
the proximity sensor is not controlling the screen.
Anyone have any ideas???
SOLVED
I thought I would post the solution I found for this issue.
I removed the screen protector and cleaned the edge between the speaker and screen - that fixed it.

[Q] In-call my cheek hits "end call" quite a bit..

So my DHD seems to not be turning the screen off properly as I hold it against my ear, and for the third time in a week I've just hung up on someone as a result
Firstly, am I holding it wrong? Should it be touching my head?
And if that doesn't work, are there any alternatives (i.e force the screen on or off)?
press the power button to shut down screen display during calls.It happened to me too.
Ah why didn't I think of that?! thank you! That won't affect the call in any way though will it?
You may also try application: Proximity recalibrator.
It is usefull in case proximity sensor doesn't lock screen when you are talking.

Dialer bug: screen goes dark, can't hang up

I just got my new AT&T S3 a few days ago, and there's a problem I seem to be having with every single phone call I make or receive.
During the call, the screen goes dark, and none of the buttons seem to be able to wake it up again until the other party hangs up. I've literally had to rip my Otterbox off and yank the battery out to hang up during one call to an IVR system that just wouldn't hang up on its own (I guess I could have pressed the right combination of buttons to force a reboot, but at that point I was in no mood to spend 5 minutes experimenting with different permutations of power, vol-, and vol+ to find the magic combo).
Here's what I think might be happening. Note that I haven't exhaustively spent lots of time debugging it yet, on the theory that if it's a common bug, somebody else already has:
Call begins.
Hall Effect sensor triggered by proximity to face. Screen turned off, touchscreen input disabled.
Display settings ticking away in the background force timeout after N seconds. Ignores the fact that the display is already off, and puts the phone to sleep "for real" (at least, the part handling the UI), neglecting to re-enable the power button first.
I'm done with my call. I move the phone away from my face to hang up (or pull up the keypad to enter a selection). Hall Effect sensor broadcasts intent to turn on screen and re-enable touchscreen, and its intent falls on deaf ears because the phone is officially asleep and ignoring it.
Panic. Press power button. Seemingly ignored (though the phone might be waking up enough to see a note telling it to ignore the button, and going back to sleep without further action).
Anger. Press home button. Press volume buttons. Swear violently, and get really mad.
(other party hangs up; lock gets released, phone is awakened and problem seems to go away)
or...
(furiously press various two- and three-finger combinations of power, vol+, vol-, and home until either the call terminates or the phone reboots)
For what it's worth, the same bug show up if I make a call in my car, but the bluetooth call-control button DOES work, even though the phone itself appears to be a darkened unresponsive brick, and triggering a hangup via bluetooth wakes it back up again. I KNOW this isn't due to Tasker or anything, because I've had this problem literally since I made my first call on the new phone to terminate my Sprint account, when it was 100% stock and virgin.
I had the same problem with my white s3 . Then I changed the screen protector and cleansed the proximity sensor with a dust free cloth and haven't had any problems since
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Well, I found the root of my problem: the S3's proximity sensor isn't a Hall Effect sensor, it's near-infrared... and the plastic shell on my case is yellow, which meant it was reflecting too much near-infrared light back into the sensor and triggering it continuously from the moment the LED turned on. I ended up blackening the plastic that surrounds the sensor using a Sharpie marker, and it solved the problem.
Samsung S3 won't hang up
I have the same problem and found that I can insert earphones to phone to make light come back on. After looking at this forum I also noticed a setting (which I haven't tried yet). It's the 3rd from last under settings. Settings-Accessibility-Answering/ending calls-The power key ends calls.
I'm hoping that will work.

LG G4 proximity sensor/call dialer problem

I just bought a LG G4(Marshmallow installed) today and I noticed a problem.
When I receive a call or dial one, my screen automatically turns off and pressing power button/double tapping the screen don't turn it on. It only turns itself on after the other person disconnects the call. As far as I know, the screen is supposed to turn off after I hold the phone on my ear and turn on after I take it away from my ear.

Phone Call Problem!

My RN5P(IND),suffers from a problem that annoys me.
When I make calls or receive calls,the screen automatically shuts down and it wont turn back on again,even if you tap the screen, press the buttons present on the phone.You cant cut the call either.It happens 40% most of the time.Then after a moment only the screen lightens up.
What do I do and do others experience this?

May be it's due to a problem in Proximity sensor.
