Well I found that when I have AOD on and I receive a call and press the slide to answer and answer the call, when I put it in my ear to talk, screen goes off (correct) but when I move it away from my ear (to see the screen), the screen has a delay to show and stays black for 2 seconds. If I unlock the phone during call the delay goes away! Of course everything works ok when I call someone (because the phone it's already unlocked). Proximity sensor works great then. So what I mean is that proximity sensor is slow to lighten screen when AOD is on in an incoming call. If AOD is off proximity sensor works as it should in incoming calls. So I think it's a software issue and not hardware probably. Any thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

Hey there. I know this is an old post, but I am experiencing a similar issue with my 14 Pro. Theres a delay when I pull the phone away from my face. However, the screen isn’t completely black. It’s dimmed for a moment before it reaches full brightness. The screen still works when it’s still dim, but it throws me off.
Like you, when AOD is off, it works as it should.
Also, my issue is the same whether it’s an incoming or outgoing call.
Please let me know if you ever figured this out.
well u are the first to reply. happy im not the only one. you may think im crazy but there is a connection with the widgets on the lock screen. try to leave date only (and nothing else) and the clock. no battery indicators or weather widgets, not one. Only clock and date above. and tell me if its fixed.
Nope. There’s still a delay when there are no widgets. The only thing that that makes it work properly (no delay) is turning off AOD.
