Screen stays on during calls - Jelly Bean

After I took the upgrade I have noticed (and tested) that my screen stays on during calls. Anyone else have this issue?

Stock 4.1 Verizon

I'm not on Verizon but I used a friends Gnex on verizon and when I tried to hold the phone with my shoulder it pressed buttons on the key pad.

It was weird. I do not have that on Sprint Stock which I ran for a couple of days.

I wonder if there is a setting in Display or if it's a default?

Sounds like you may have an issue with your proximity sensor. You can test it as follows:

Open it.

The readout for "Proximity Sensor" should be:

0: 5.0
1: 0.0
2: 0.0

Those numbers shouldn't change unless something (your finger) comes within about an inch of the proximity sensor which is located just to the right of the ear speaker. When something gets close to that sensor, the first readout should go to 0.0.

If your numbers are any different, take it back to the store and show them you have a bad proximity sensor. Happened to me with my original Droid 2 years ago.
