phone/dialer(?) issue

[themadisonscene]

Hello. First time caller long time listener.

I just started having this issue with my phone (nexus 4 if that helps) where if I'm on a call I can't use the phone AT ALL. The screen goes black after i dial out. In fact I have to wait for the other person to hang up before I can do anything. If I call someone, they better pick up or else they will get a really long blank voice mail from me.

Is anyone else having this issue or does anyone have a fix? Its driving me up the wall.

Do you have a screen protector that covers the proximity sensor? (Top left of phone)

Ha! Maybe. And by maybe I mean yes.

Will you marry me?
