My v3 proximity sensor is always failing when I'm calling someone! I mean, I'm talking and the phone screen is blinking sometimes and when I hang out the call (maybe with my ear) I usually have lots of apps open and changed settings!
Anyone can help with this?

Is that you sweat a lot or have too oily skin?
Please don't mind my question as I have similar experience with my old phone during hot summer days.
Anyway, you can try testing your proximity sensor if it functions properly in the engineering mode

No. I've experienced this again few minutes ago at home. And today there is no much sun outside too..
I'm not even able to calibrate the sensor in mediatek engineer mode always give me a fail message :/ it's a bit anoying, always vibrating at my ear and doing things that I don't want!

Hello I was looking for answer for that issue. I managed to solve it in the following way: I uninstalled SmartTools. This app uses my proximity sensor, and I think it caused the problem. After uninstall and rebott, the problem was gone. Hope this would help someone.
