It seems to be quite random. Not had it since I complained tbh.

That's great to read!

Cat pictures is the main reason I have a Pixel 2 XL!!

LOOL same with my Pixel 2.

Apparently it is a known bug

The Register: Google says Pixel 2's narcoleptic display is being fixed in June update.

Actually, in your particular case, as evidenced by the fact that your proximity sensor tested normal, and was capable of functioning normally, the issue was indeed attributable to the bug. However, in the majority of cases where the screen goes black and stays black even after the call has ended, it's because the proximity sensor is either faulty or it's being blocked by something. That's why testing with AndroSensor or a similar app is important in sorting out the cause of the problem.

Oh wow! That's too bad.

My screen goes blank during calls too. Started with the Pie update. Sensor is fine. No screen protector or case.

Does this also happen in Safe mode?

This has only been happening since last update. So I know their connected.

Yep, same for me, only happened since pie update and unbelievably frustrating bc it basically disables my phone when I take or make a call. Impossible to make a call with a business that requires you to make selections with your keypad.

It sounds like you have a "stuck" proximity sensor. Grab an app that can display the sensor status (I use Elixir2) and see if the sensor is detecting object presence when there isn't any.

Once that's determined, if it is detecting objects, I can't say how to fix it, but you at least know where the problem is. You could try it in safe mode to see if maybe an app is causing it.

More of a quick temporary fix but, this started happening to me on my pixel 2xl, I double tapped the power and pulled up my camera, everything went back to normal. Until the next call that is, but it's a work around till it's fixed. I hope this helps.

Solved:. I had this same issue recently show up on my Pixel XL (original version 1). Maddening when can't end a call or tap the keys icon to follow numeric prompts due to black screen! All I had to do to fix the issue was to carefully clean the proximity sensor in the small opening for it in my screen protector with a dry Qtip. I didn't have to remove or replace the screen protector. There was quite a bit of gunk that had collected in that opening. It's working fine now!

A dirty proximity sensor will definitely cause a problem. Glad to hear a good cleaning resolved your issue.

It could be your screen protector interfering with the proximity sensor if you have one installed.

I cleaned the little slot on the screen where the phone touches the ear. This worked. Looks like the proximity sensor was blocked.

Hasn't happened since I moved to Q beta

Was having the same problem just recently. Read through posts below and saw the one about the proximity sensor being blocked by screen protector. Noticed some some jam in the cutouts around the front camera and speaker, so I removed the glass screen protector and wiped down the phone screen with screen wipe. Phone started working normal again. Put the old screen protector back on and still working as it should. Give it a try, and thanks for the recommendation.
