i just discovered that i cant dial any numbers during a call couse my proximity sensors is being blocked by specs of dusts that have somehow burrowed underneath the glass and i can even see them on screen, but the sensors is completely blocked off and its assuming my face is there, so now i cant use google voice and even check my voicemail, anyway to turn this off

Does anyone know how to disassemble the phone to reach the proximity sensor? I have dust triggering the sensor too.

I removed the 6 screws from the back and used a plastic card to try to open the back by prying the catches but I'm a little stuck with the bottom side and the part around the lock button.

Any guide or help would be appreciated.
