Just wanted to confirm that this is still causing me pain daily on my bq Aquaris E5 (OTA-7). I can not at all (or hardly) use any phone call features (e.g. transfering to the loudspeaker to do hands-free talking is an acrobatic act, because the screen insists in turning black immediately again, e.g. I'm pressing the lock button on the right upper side of the phone).

This bug report explains that it's no necessary to wait for a minute or so on the phone call, but the screen turns black immediately, and doesn't turn back on again to allow hanging up via a screen control. Potential duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices- system-image/+bug/1483127 Device: Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition OS version: 15.04 (r5) A) Incoming phone call: - Accept the incoming call by sliding the grey middle button to the green button - Watch the screen turning black - Bring the phone to your ear, speak (as in a normal phone call) - Take the phone away from your ear, note that the screen stays black How to hang up anyway: (workaround) - (continued from above, screen stays black after taking it away from your ear) - Press the screen lock/unlock button (= button above volume control) - Screen with phone app shows for about half a second, then turns black again - Press the screen lock/unlock button again, and try to press the red hangup button quickly - Repeat the previous step until hanging up succeeds B) Outbound phone call: - Open the phone app - Slide up Recent calls list from bottom edge, select a phone number - Press green dial button to initiate the call - Watch the phone dialling and the screen turning black - Bring the phone to your ear, speak (as in a normal phone call) - Take the phone away from your ear, note that the screen stays black How to hang up anyway: (workaround) - (same procedure as in A. above) - Difference in behavior: * In some calls after pressing the lock/unlock button for the first time the screen stays alight (doesn't turn black again after half a second). Jean-Baptiste Lallement confirms on the ubuntu-phone mailing list: In both cases, covering/uncovering the proximity sensor should turn the screen on, if the screen has not been turned off with the power button.
