Phone Problem with Sony XA2

Hello, I successfully flashed the XA2 to SFOS 3.0.1.14. At the beginning everything worked fine. Even the Android App Threema worked perfect. Unfortunately after a view calls the phone wasn't able anymore to close active phone calls. It means, that the connections remains an I am not able to end the call. While I am trying to end the call, the phone does blink and then gets dark and sometimes bling again (but the call is still connected and the opponent can hear everything from my side). In such a situation, it is even impossible to shut down the phone. All of a sudden the phone shuts down. After restarting the problem remains. All other functions run well. It is terrible. I tried to update the OS to 3.0.2.8, but nothing changed. Is there anybody who faced the same problem ? Is there any work around ?
I try now to refresh the OS to Android and repeat the flash. What do you think about ?
I have seen the same issue on my XA2. It doesn't happen every time for me, but when it happens, it's really annoying.

There was no change to end the mailbox call, so I had to power off the phone. With such bugs Sailfish is not usable.

naalaa ( 2019-03-29 11:55:52 +0200 )editMaybe it's the famous proximity sensor bug?
Giacomo Di Giacomo ( 2019-03-29 12:28:31 +0200 )editIts the proximity sensor bug alright... Three rapid taps on the power button usually brings back the display for me.
I've implemented the workaround from @lethe and it has helped a lot. Still not perfect, but way better.
