@albaguirre It might really be the proximity sensor. But in a strange
way. Kind of, "it depends on the mood of the device, and when in phone
calls it's almost always in a bad mood."

I've noticed this today when my son wanted to find out what the
ProximityCheck app is about. I tried to demo it to him, and the sensor
switched to "NEAR" (orange) and didn't switch back to "FAR" anymore. I
tried again turning the sensor off and on again in the app, and the
erroneous behavior remained. I closed the app and tried again, and again
it remained orange after moving it to the ear and taking it away again.
In another try the app kind of flickered, mostly orange but green
inbetween for fractions of a second even with nothing close the phone.

Most interesting though, after some time when trying another time the
app finally showed normal behavior, with the proximity sensor telling
"NEAR" with an object right in front of the phone and "FAR" with the
same object further away from it. Very strange. So, is this maybe a
hardware defect? In a series of devices of the same model?
