Galaxy S:

When i make a call, the screen truns black. I can't hang up etc.
Also when someone's calling me i can't press any button for like 30 a 40 sec, then sometimes i can hang up.

Tried everything, Flashed 6 different firmware versions using ODIN, Even brought back to the store, They flashed it to, no effect.

BUT!! When i plug in my headphones the screen does not go black and don't freeze, It functions normally then. THAT is Strange!!??  Crying

Any body an idea??

Also another problem:

When the screen is locked, and i press the home button, it takes about 10-15 seconds to show the unlock screen. When i press the home button the screen just stays black for 10 seconds until i can unlock it with a swipe.

Sounds like something is up with the proximity sensor. Try Dial *#0*# and select Sensor. The screen should turn green when you put your hand near the sensor. It also vibrates. The sensor is by the front camera.

Thnx, it vibrates all the time, and went green immediatly first time, but when i did it again it just vibrates and stays white if i come near the sensor

Also it states, ''need for calibration 0''

i have had exactly the same problem. seems that my protective case has a flip over magnetic catch at the top which blocks the proximity sensor. pushes against the phone's face and triggers screen to close. when i lift the catch up away from the screen it springs back to life straight away. this is one feature that would be great to have the option to turn off!

hope this helps as i was having to leave answer phone messages when i didnt need to as I couldn't turn key pad back on.

I don't use any kind of casing, still did not manage to fix this problem, i'm hoping for a custom Rom where i can choose to completely shut down the sensor.
