iOS 11.0.2, new iPhone 8.

Proximity sensor is inconsistent, particularly when pulling the phone away from your ear to press a number on a menu or whatever during an automated call. Sometimes the screen comes on, sometimes it doesn't, maybe 50/50. Usually have to press the home button to wake it up in these situations.

Anyone else?

I think it’s a problem with iOS 11 as I’ve been having a very inconsistent experience with the phone app when on a call.

Sometimes it shows the typical call screen, sometimes shows my home screen with the green bar at the top, sometimes shows the call screen with a green bar at the top, and sometimes will even change screens back and forth when I pull my phone away from my ear.

iPhone 7 here.
