I'm not sure if it was always doing that and I just now noticed but if I even come close to the top proximity sensor the top speaker cuts off. Like if I'm watching a YouTube video and my hand barely comes over the top of the phone the speaker turns off. I can cover it from about 3 in away and it will turn off. I don't recall it doing this before. Anyone else have this and is it a setting?

Just noticed that when I'm on a call the screen does indeed go to sleep. However when I take the phone away from my ear it does not wake up. This is a pain for I have to hit the power button to hit the end call. Anyone else have this?
make sure ur screen protector isnt covering the sensor

My zagg hd protector has a little notch that shows the tiny circular sensor and its not covered. When looking closer I notice the tiny circular sensor is part of a larger rectangular sensor? This goes left to right. Not sure if this can be the issue since if I cover it the auto brightness does work.
After I updated my Nokia Lumia 920. the screen turns off when im dialing someone, and the only way to get it back is to restart it or if the person on the other end hangs up.
Could it be the light sensor? or is it just the phone update that messed it up?

Thanks!
I will return it tomorrow, since im not ready to open it after 20 days of use
now its REALLY FIXED but need to open the phone (only two screws )
Symptoms:
Experience screen and touch sensor switch off during a call, Notifications (the screen stays off, like if it was in a pocket) which doesn't turn on as usual.
Try:
If during a call you press and hold the upper left corner of the glass -just between the speaker and the upper left corner- you will notice that the sensor works as expected.
I think :
Because of the layered nature of the phone internals design and the heavy use of ribbon connectors it had to be tight to connect the board with the sensor.
My Solution:
I just added a peace of sponge (W:4mm/H:5mm/L:15mm) (all weather door and window sealant) -that comes self adheasive from one side- and sticked a small peace on the board on the opposite side of the phonejack/secondary mic connectors (Pictures attached) this will add pressure on the board to be more tight tried it and working as normal.

Mine is suffering the same issue. In the Nokia forums one user recommended to "blow air" across the top of the phone where the display meets the case right above the Nokia logo. I did this and now my proximity sensor is working. It's got to be dust getting on the sensor. I'm going to take mine apart and see if I can come up with a seal for the FFC and proximity sensor.
hey
since my screen is broken i have this weird problem
everything is ok till
i get a call and accept, i cant get the turn on the screen
i have this problem only in CM/AOSP ROMs
Do you have a screen protector that covers the proximity sensor? I had that problem. Replaced the screen protector and now everything is fine.
The rezound is notorious for letting dust in through the speaker grill.
If you don't want to open your phone up and clean it out, search the play store for "Rezound prox sensor calibrator" and install that. You can set custom levels to adjust for the dust.
For anyone who is interested, here is my method for fixing the black unresponsive screen during a call.
Like most of you reading this message I had the dreaded black screen during a phone call, which makes it impossible to end the call or dial numbers for automated systems. A lot of suggestions and fixes included blowing into the upper right corner of the phone or into the ear piece. This doesn't work (or it didn't for me) because the proximity sensor which you are allegedly blowing dust off of is pretty well sealed against the outside world. I'm on firmware 1314, which is supposed to have fixed the issue, but did not.
What did work every time was to pinch the phone front to back at the upper right corner right around where the proximity sensor was. I actually later found out you could pinch the phone anywhere in the upper half and the screen would light up.
I opened up the phone, saw that the proximity sensor just kind of flaps freely with a metal back that touches what i think is a grounding plate on the frame. When you pinch the phone it shorts this circuit and makes the proximity sensor behave properly. To make the contact better I cut a piece of aluminum foil, folded it up a couple of times, and wedged it behind the proximity sensor. Put the phone back together, made a call, and voila - screen on away from my face, off when sensor is covered.
Here is a picture of what the proximity sensor looks like on the pcb. I just wedged the foil behind the circled piece and replaced everything.

This absolutely works for me, but YMMV. I used the youtube video from le55ons for disassembly instructions. It's fantastic.
Excellent work. Subscribing in case I get this issue in the future

Do you have a screen protector installed. I did and it covered the proximity sensor, which gave me issues, took it off, no issues

I didn't have a screen protector on, but i can see how it would cause a problem if it covered the sensor. Now that it's working properly I can see how sensitive it is. If i hover my finger an inch over the sensor, the screen will go dark.
Noticed when I make a call from my car the screen of my V30 turns off after a few seconds. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
Do you have something covering the proximity sensor on the front?

Nope - the screen also fades to dark - phone is in a holder on the vent of the car.
