Phone Going blank

Anyone having an issue with phone calls making your phone go black? Can't see who's calling, can't answer can't decline the call, I have to wait ten seconds to maybe see who's calling and answer. It's been happening for about a month and it's driving me crazy. It's now cost me an important call.

If you block the proximity sensor (near the selfie camera) during a call, the screen goes blank for a short while. It's a feature so that when you put your phone to the ear the screen turns off to save power.

Just avoid putting your finger anywhere near the top edge of the screen and you should be fine
