Title says it all. Talking on the phone, pull phone away from ear to hang up, screen does not come back on. Have to hit power button.

Anyone else? Any solution?

I read on another thread here that there are issues with the proximity sensor. That may be the problem here. If it is the sensor, there isn't much that can be done.

A lot of the problems people have with function of the proximity sensor stem from their having a screen protector covering the sensor. If yours does, try removing it and seeing if that resolves the issue (it took care of it for me with my original SP, which I replaced with one that had a cutout for it).

No screen protector, but the problem has stopped after two (not after one) reboot. Bizarre.
