If the phone is under warranty, take it back to Verizon and get a new one. If it's not under warranty, you might check out the Screen Suite app. It will automatically lock the screen for you when you enter a call.

The power/lock button works too as long as you don't have the option enabled to use it to end calls (which is off by default).

Generally speaking, if you're into modifying/rooting/hacking your phone, the only time you should ever have to replace it is due to physical damage. I understand in this case your proximity sensor may have physically failed. But I find it hard to believe that you've actually broken 5 of these phones. Any software problems, which are the leading cause of issues, can be corrected in one way or another. If you're not sure what the problem is, or how to correct it, that is exactly what we have this community for.

I guess I'm just more of a "help yourself" kind of person and think that more people would benefit from a little of that as well. If I ever run into an issue with any product that I don't fully know about, I'm on the internet long before contacting service or making exchanges. The majority of the time you'll come across a great article or forum like this that gives more information than any support representative can ever think about comprehending.

Me too, except for cars. That one didnt go over too well and the wife has banned me from everything but oil changes.

She puts up with my other "experiments" pretty well so I guess the least I can do is not make her walk anymore...
