Problem with LG Arena Screen

[tkhan]

Hi,

I have been using LG Arena for 2 months, i never had this problem but now when make a call the screen suddently blank out and nothing on the screen works. The interface works well enough before making a call or using the phone normally but blanks out when making a call and sometimes when recieving a call. I have to power off mobile phone and start it again to make phone respond again.

Any one else have this problem with LG Arena

Thanks for your reply, that was it. I was using a screen protector covering the sensor . I have removed the screen protector and it worked again

This is a proximity sensor problem and here's the concrete solution that worked for me:

1. On the phone keypad enter the following code: 1809#*900# XX bring up the engineering settings menu.
2. Scroll down to the entry called OTHERS and select it.
3. Scroll down this menu to the entry called PROXIMITY and select it. 4. You should see three options: Enable, Disable & Start Calibration
5. Select Start Calibration - after a few seconds it will return a new figure (mine was 3627)
6. BACK right out of the menu system, and make a test call - it should blank the screen when you hold it to your ear (or when you hold a finger near the sensor), but come back on again when you remove it.
