Proximity Sensor Issue

Xer · May 23, 2014

I've noticed my phone has been having an issue with the proximity sensor...

What I have:

Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337), though the phone says it is a GT-19505 under the About phone section.

Running CyanogenMod 11, Android 4.4.2

Basically what happens is during a call I can place the phone to my head and the screen will turn off, but when I pull the phone away from my head the screen will not turn back on. Pressing the power key or the home button will turn it back on sometimes, or do nothing for a while. I don't know when this started happening, as I don't make call all that often. but just that it has happened. I am thinking that maybe something went wrong when I installed CyanogenMod a few months back, but I am not sure.

It is not the biggest issue in the world, but it certainly does makes using automated phone systems hard to use when I can't input keys (I hate these automated systems).

Is there anything I can do about it, or is there some setting somewhere that I'm missing?

I am a bit sleepy, so I may have forgotten something, just ask if you need to know anything else!
