Exclamation Proximity Sensor Issues

I have been having this issue for quite some time, but just figures it was a bug in one of the BB roms I was using. Well, since then I have been through about 10 different versions of bugless beast, droid mod, and several others.

My issue seems to be that when I make a phone call and put the phone next to my head, although the screen turns off, the touch is still activated.

I will be in a call and I will feel the phone vibrate against my head. I usually hit the pound of star key on the phone, and as soon as buttons are pressed in a call, it seems to mute my voice to the person on the other side of the call. I have to remove the phone from my face, wait for the sensor to realize i moved my face, and have to press the backspace button till all the random characters are deleted at which point the person on the other side can hear me again.

This happens to me on about 80% of my calls, and is by far the most frustrating issue I have had.

Do you think I should re-install stock and bring it in?

btw, I posted this in root sub-forum cause I am rooted, and wasn't sure if it was just a rom issue.
