When Calling Screen Goes Black?

Reason. The most common reason for this issue is that the proximity sensor on your phone is not working correctly. The proximity sensor is a small little sensor, usually on the top of the phone next the logo or speaker you hold up to your ear.

How do I stop my screen from going black when I get a call?

In the Phone app, tap Menu, settings, and uncheck "Auto screen off during calls." But the screen is supposed to turn back on when the call is over.

How come when I call my screen it stays black?

Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. ... Step 2: Now select the “App notifications” option. Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won't wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls.
