Hi John,

Yours sounds slightly different than my problem.  I have had to do what you're 
explaining on occasion, but in my situation, pulling the iPhone away and back 
does nothing since the phone is locked.  Once I press the power button, the 
screen comes live and thus the proximity sensor is enabled properly.

Later...

    I've had it happened a few times. Sometimes, it occurs right at the start 
of a call, but then switches over. A few other times, it was in the midst of a 
call and I had to pull my face away for a few seconds and then place the phone 
back up to my ear in order to get it to switch back to the internal speaker.


Take Care
