Phone call issues - the screen 'blanks' until I restart the phone

This isn't a sure-fire thing, but my phone switches to the normal 'face-guard' mode when I make a call, which is fine. However during the call, when I pull it away from my face, (and have even tried holding it level), the screen will only stay on/interactive for about half a second, then go blank again. Even when I am touching and interacting with things (such as the slide-up bar for the phone's touch screen keypad) - it will blank. I can rarely pull the keypad all the way up before it blanks. When the screen is blank, it also won't recognize the hardware keyboard.

This is annoying enough given all the places that require you dial number to get through a phone system, but usually when I end the call, this behavior persists, sometimes for 30 seconds to a minute, some times until I restart the phone.

Anyone have this issue/a suggestion?
