Recalibrate your proximity sensor. None of the apps work. Go to about phone in settings and click Kernel version multiple times.

I needed a solution for that for automated scripts purposes! so the below wont fit the normal common usage issue with that annoying bug\feature 
FOUND A SOLUTION ! (for script usage)
If you want the phone screen to not turn off during call, just plug headphone to it. confirmed on Galaxy s6 and Note5 both Android 6.0.1 (got that tip from Samsung engineers)

Issue for me began with Android update that messed up the proximity sensor. Tried a bunch of apps with no success, then found this simple workaround: when dialing number, add a "Pause" (symbolized with a comma ',') and the phone will display the screen. Changed all my contacts when I found that. Doesn't make a difference for incoming calls, but solves the issue for outgoing calls at least and makes it possible to phone in to a service where options must be selected (i.e. 'Press 1 for X, press 2 for Y...')
