Proximity sensor giving problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I attend a phone call or call on messenger app the screen goes off immediately as if I have held the phone against my ear. Then I lose control of the phone completely. I can't put the call on loudspeaker as the screen is off. The screen comes back after a while when the other person on the call ends the call. Or I have to switch off my phone. This happens also when I play an audio file on Whatsapp, the screen goes off and I hear audio from the speaker adjacent to front camera.
My friends having same phone and Android version don't face this problem. I tried rooting my phone, installed a custom ROM AOSP [7.1.1_r12]Nougat for Nexus 5 [N4F26M] but the problem still persists. If anybody knows the FIX or any suggestion please reply.

[Q] Phone switches between regular speaker and speaker phone between calls?

This just RECENTLY started happening a few days ago...
My phone seems to not like using the actual earphone speaker, it goes back and forth between speakerphone and regular speaker at its leisure between calls.
What I've noticed:
1. It never happens during the same call, I might make a call and the regular speaker works, then I make another call, theres dead silence and I have to activate the speaker or either that the person hangs up on me and I have to call back and instantly activate the speaker phone
2. It happens after a reboot and the behavior is the same as #1 above
Has any other person noticed this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, its annoying as hell

Is there a way in which this can be avoided.

[Completed] Facebook Messenger screen off in calls, no speakerphone, can't end call : app broken?

My mom's phone and my P01v have the same version of Facebook Messenger. It works well on hers and use to on mine.
After a recent call I realized that FB Messenger now turned my screen off so I was not able to access the speakerphone feature as well as end the call. It did not do this before. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I have also reset my phone but there has been no improvement. The proximity sensor on my phone does not work. I have tried to make and receive regular phone calls and Viber calls and I was able to get a speaker phone, end the call, and the screen did not turn off.
Is there something wrong with Facebook Messenger? Since I have not been able to get the missing features and keep the screen on I'm now thinking of editing the FB apk instead. I was able to extract the apk, can anyone help me out on how to hack this app?
Note : I've had a similar issue with Asus dialer app (screen off, can't turn it on again during call, cannot access speakerphone, cannot end call unless I press the power button) and its because of the proximity sensor. I uninstalled the Asus phone dialer app and installed 3rd party dialer and phone related apps, problem solved.
Hi !
Before proceeding into any "hacks" better go to a service center , you must be sure wether is a hardware issue or not
