Is anyone else experiencing this problem after updating to 8.1?
When I make or receive a call, even though my face nor any other object is near the phone, my screen turns off (i.e. just as if the phone thought my face was next to the phone.) However, I cannot turn the screen back on until the person on the other end of the call hangs up. The finger print sensor will not turn the screen back on. The power button will not turn the screen back on. This is a problem as I cannot access the dial pad to input numbers with automated phone systems nor I cannot switch to speaker phone. I cannot access any other apps during the call. In fact, I cannot access my phone again until the other person hangs up. (The only semi-work around I have found is to select the option to use the power button to hang up the call. But, this is not really a work around as I still have no access to anything on my phone during a call.)
Another problem I am experiencing is that double tap feature does not wake the screen up to show the time or notifications. Nor does the lift gesture to show time and notifications work.
I installed a sensor test app and the app says that there is an object 0.0 inches away from the proximity sensor when there is no object anywhere near the sensor.
I do have a screen protector on my Pixel 2 XL. However, I had a screen protector on with Oreo 8.0 and never had any of these problems.
Anyone else out there experiencing the same issues by any chance?
